THE SPEucEs.-Eph Morris and Billy
ScharfT will likely row each other during
the coming May or June. The race will
probably be over the upper Monongahela
course, and the friends OF both parties
are anxious to give their respective
champions a fair and square trial. Both
men are in good condition, and, as soon
as water and weather will permit, design
settling down to work. Patsy Luther,
too, is being urged to enter the lists, and
it is TO be hoped that his undeveloped
skill will be given test. 1t is believed
by his friends that he is better oarsman
than either Morris or Scharff. Hanlon,
Of Toronto, is also mentioned as likely to
compete with Pitsburgh's champion
Pittsburgh Dispatch.

feeling more like himself than in the
morning, he was ushered into the fine
parlors of Mr.. l.. What change there
was in his feelings from that hour in
the morning when he tapped, tlmid
and blushing, at the door of Biddy's
domain!
He was met, as gentlemanly boy,
by the gentleman of the house, who,
after questioning him closely as to his
ability and his habits, engaged him as
an entry clerk, in his store, at salary
of three hundred dollars for the first
year.
The merchant was greatly pleased,
for he liked boys that were willing to
do anything.
Harry's ambition would hardly suf-
fer him to sleep. He longed to be
entering goods, and bustling about the
store in the interests of his kind pa
tron. He thought day would never
dawn but like all other days, it did
dawn and Harry set out on his busl-
ness career with full determination
to do his best for his employees and his
mother.
Time, am sure, will show that the
boy who was willing even to sell rat
poison rather than be idle or beg, will
make a noble, honorable merchant.
Harry says, ''If / ever get ahead my
self, I'll help poor boys who are look
ing for places in every way in my
power.
