A SAD TAsK.-Ths father of
Charley ROSS has been persuaded t.
write the story Of his lost boy. The
labor, lie says, will involve rcviving
of his pain and add ~ drop Of new
bitterness to his already ovcrn3wirs
cup of grief, but he is willing to cn.-
dnre the suffering for the good of
the cause. He gives four reasons
for undertaking the task III. St
1T is due to the public. Second
The narrative may give a nnw inn
pulse and a new direction to the
search for the lost child. Third

the book, and through the illustra>
tions of once flmililr sccnos, or by
aolle accidental word or sentence,
may be led to his home. Fourth
The profit arising from tho sale OF
tho book will furnish means fo,
prosecuting tho search, which must
not cease until the child be found
alive or dead. Mr.. Ross first in,
tention was to employ some 'practi,
cal writer" to do tho literary work
for him, but his friends insisted tina,
he must tell the story himself Tho
narrative presented in his own plain
way would be the most attractive
shape to putt iii, they reasoned, and
Mr.. Ross has assentcd to tho ar
rangcmcnt. The work will be talscr
in hands ut once and published as
soon as possible. -PiUSburg Lcudc,
