The boy answered eagerly, "Most a.

Mr.. W.. partly for joke and partly
to rid himself ofthc almost too confident

"Ah. all !! Well, just go out and Dor.

The boy put on his hat and walked
out ofthe store slowly down Front Street
till he came to another large store i'm the
same line of business, that of Messrs.

est look he walked up to the head of
the house and said:
Mr.. W., of w. & CO., sent me down
to borrow $4,000"

The boy. having seen the appearance
of large shipments, answered quickly {:

Things that Last.

Let us now look ut those things that
will never wear out"
L have often heard poor blind girl
sweetly sing, Kind words will never die"
All! we believe that these are among
the things that "will never wear out"
And We are told in Gods own book to
he kind one to another, ten5er.hcarted
forgiving one another"
The Word Of the Lord will never wear
out. Though the grass shall wither, and
the flowers fall away, the Word Of the
Lord endureth forever. q Peter 1, "a 25.)
The life OF the righteous will never
wear out. They will live in the world to
come as long as God shall live; but the
death OF the wicked will last forever.
The joys Of the kingdom OF heaven
will never wear out. The people OF this
world soon die; but the enjoyments Of
that world will never end.
The crown Of glory will never wear
out. The crown OF the winner i'm the
Olympic games soon faded the crowns
OF kings NIL wear out but the crown Of
glory will never fade away. q Peter v,40
THE new song" will never wear out,
We hear sometimes that some OF our
tunes are worn tbreadbare but that will
never he said Of the new song.
Which will you choose? the lasting,
or that which wastes away? The things
OF time, or eternity? will You choose
wealth, honor. fame. or the joys OF hea.
ven, eternal life. the crown Of glory, and

May God enable us to make n wise
choice and, with Joshua. may we choose

Gone are the days when my heart was
young and gay,
Gone are my friends from the cotton
fields away.
Gone from the earth TO a better land
know,
hear their gentle voices calling, Old
Black Joe.
CIioRUs.
I'm coming. I'm coming, my head il
bending low.
| hear their gentle voics calling, Old
Black Joe.
Why do I weep when my heart should
feel no pain?
Why do I sigh that my friends come
not again?
Grieving for friends departed long ago.
| hear their gentle voices calling, Old
Black Joe,
CToRUs-I'm coming. &c.
Where arc the children had upon my
knee?
Where are the hearts once so happy and
80 free?
Gone to the shore where my soul has
longcd TO 90.
] hear their gentle voices calling, Old
Black Joe,
CnoErs-1'm coming. &c.
