Wanted. A BoYL"

A tradesman once advertised in the
IA morning papers for a boy to work
in the shop, run errands, and make
himself generally useful.
In few hours the shop was thronged
with boys of all ages, sizes, sorts and
conditions, all wanting to find situa-
ton.
The shopkeeper only wanted one boy,
but how to get the right one was the
great difficulty. He thought he must
find some plan to lessen the number of
applicants, and give him better oppor-
tunity of selecting good one. So he
sent them all away, and thought the
matter over little. The next morning
the papers contained the following
advertisement -
WANTED, BOY WHO oBEYs HIS
MOTHER"
Now, then, thought the tradesman, 1
shall see soon who will apply. He also
put bill in his window with these
words on. And how many do you
suppose did come? The story is that
there were only toOo of all the numerous
boys seeking employment in that big
city who felt that they could honestly
come and say, I obey n1y mother"
The cowd of lads was indeed quickly
thinned out most effectually, and the
tradesman had not much trouble in
selecting boy.
Such boys as these-boys that obey
their mothers-are in great demand.
My little boy, if you saw an advertise
ment for such boy could you truth
fully go and offer yourself for the situa-
ton If not, L fear there is something
wrong about you. Look to the matter ;
seek the Lord g salvation bean obedient
son, and God will bless you.- Children'S s

What Are You Sowing Now2

A gentleman was stopping few days
with o farmer, who, though man of
sound sense and many good traits of
character, had neglected religion. He
was an excellent farmer, priding him
self on the fine appearanceand thorough
culture on his farm, and evidently was
pleased with his guest, who was a man
of winning manners and extensive in
formation, and Christian.
One day he walked out where the
farmer was scattering his seed broadcast
in the field.
"What are you sowing, Mr.. H"
he asked.
e" Wheat" was the reply.
"And what do you expect to reap from
it?"
Why, wheat, of COURSE" said the
farmer.
AT the close of the day, as all were
gathered in family circle, some little
thing provoked the farmer-the husband
and father, the head of the family-and
at once he was in violent passion, and
forgetting in his excitement the presence
of his guest, he swore most profanely.
The gentleman, who was sitting next to
him, in serious tone said.
And what are you sowing now, Mr..
H"
The farmer was startled. A new light
at once flashed on his mind from the
question of the morning.

A Lucky Man.

Mr.. Slack, of Drakeville, but recently
living at Chester occupying tenement
property belonging to Chester Iron Co.,
near the X Rhoads, while digging a
small hole in which to set barrel for
scalding hogs, dug up what was appar-
emily few buttons, which he gave to
his children to play with. His wife's
curiosity induced her to clean them
when they having the appearance of
silver Mr.. Slack went back to the hole
and dug for more when he was rewarded
with " whole mess" as he expressed it.
They were all Spanish coins dating from
1887 to 1779. There were three kinds
representing one real, two reals and eight
reals, or one shilling, two shiilings and
one dollar. 1t is supposed that Mr..
Slack secured hundred dollars or so,
but this is mere guess work, as he is
very reticent. Mr.. Slack found no
woodwork or any thing to show what
kind of depository they were in.
They were within a space of two feet of
the surface This is the old Swayze pro-
perty, and it is supposed the money was
buried during the Revolutionary war or
previous to those troublesome times.

I" Do you remember the Ludlow dis
appearance two weeks ago ?"
did have distinct recollection that
a man named Ludlow had disappeared a
fortnight before, down Providence way
somewhere. L took down my scrap
book, and presently came upon the fol-
lowing. 1t was my business, you see, to
keep a record of such things. 1t some
times comes handy.
y $500 Reward will be paid for the re-
covery of the body of Brightman Lud-
low, who was drowned in the vicinity of
Watch Hill, Rhode Island, on the eve
ming or night of the 31st inst. Deceased
was a dark, fine-looking man, with
black hair and mustache, slenderly built
and nearly six feet in height. When
last seen he had on gray Scotch busi-
ness suit sack coat, a straw hat with
black ribbon, patent leather shoes, and
fancy socks of fine material. Wore a
valuable diamond on the little finger of
his left hand. Also wore diamond studs
and q heavy gold watch-chain, with
small hunting-case Swiss watch. Ad-
dress, &c.
Beneath this notice was larger para
graph cut from paper of later date, and
giving a detailed account of Mr.. Lud-
lows disappearance. He was, as might
be inferred from the description of his
persons gentlemen of wealth and social
importance. He had been staying at
Watch Hill for the summer, = that is,
his family remained there, as he came
on frequently from New York, where
he was in business. On the afternoon
of the 3lst of July he had put off by
himself in small sail-boat, in spite of
the fact that he was quite unaccustomed
to the water, and in spite of the re-
peated assurance Of the lighthouse
keeper that storm was at hand. He
had sailed away up the coast line, and
that was the last that had been seen OF
him. A thunder squall had come up
shortly after, the wind had risen to q
gale, and it seems had been too much
for the little boat. She had been found
the next morning bottom side up, with
an old letter firmly fastened to her keel
by the point of Mr.. Ludlow's pen,
knife. On the envelope of this letter
were hastily scrawled with a pencil
these few terrible words
The squall has capsized me. I've
turned her over, and am clinging to
her, but l can't hold out much longer
l am drifting toward Block Island God
bless my dear wife and babies.

The summary of the strength of the
Russian army of the Danube, compiled by
the London Times, is, that only two hundred
thousand men crossed the Danube, OF which
sixty thousand have been disposed of by
battle or disease, OF the imperial guard,
only sixty thousand will reach the front fit
for service; so, that rs reinforced, the army
will again amount to two hundred thousand.
This includes Roumanians, but not the Do

writer estimates Osman Pasha's army, as
reinforced, at one hundred thousand, and
Suleiman Pasha's at about the same. So the
combatants have an equal force.
