[From the Detroit Free Press.l

One time there was good old man
living in Detroit. His back was bent,
his step was slow, and men who gazed
upon his snowy locks and wrinkled
face whispered to each other =
HE is a good old man who has not
long to live"
The old man had been well off in his
day. but when he found himself on the
shady side of life, wife dead and home
broken up, he said to his only son:-
'Here, William, take all have, and
let your home be my home until L die"
The son took the papers-yOu bet he
did ! and the father WIS given cozy
corner, big-chair, and a corn-cOb pipe.
All went well for year or so, and then
the son and the sons wife began to
make it uncomfortable for the nice old
man in the corner. They threw out
hints, deprived him of his comforts,
and, one cold day in winter, he was
told that he had better go to Halifax
Nova Scotia.
The old mans heart was sore as he
went out into the world to battle
against hunger and cold, and when
night came he covered in door way
and wept like a child.
"Who is making that chin-music up
there !" called reporter, whose steps
had been arrested by sobs, and he
went up the steps, patted the old man
on the head, and by and by the story
was told.
"Come down to the station with me,
said the reporter, taking the old mani,
arm. "Your son is first cousin to the
man who preferred buzzard to lamb
and I'll help You fix him !"
Next morning, one of the daily pa
pers contained an item to the effect
that an old gentleman named Good
heart had been found wandering in the
streets at night, and that when talleI
to the station $4,000 worth of Unite,
States bonds were found on him. Th'
old man read it over three times
slapped his leg as he saw the point, an,
beautiful smile covered his face ant
climbed up through his hair. In abou
an hour his son William rushed int,
the station aud cried ont =
J ''Father, dear father, come home
All of us were crying all night long

A KENNEBEC JoKER.-The Gardiner
Journal says there is an inveterate
practical Joker, who sometimes comes
down the river on business, and inva-
riably when he comes, some of the boys
are to be sold. Not long since he came
to Bath with an india-rubber rat in his
pocket. Going into one of the hotels
there, he soon found n chance to depOs-
it his rat in the office:
you're troubled with rats, here,
jerry" he innocently said to the land
lord.
"No," said Jerry, and then in great
surprise his eye caught sight of the an
imal apparently just ready to slip
away.
"Keep quiet" said Jerry, ''and II fix
him )" and he stepped off down stairs.
While he was gone, the rat was car
ried across the room and placed on a
box under the table. Soon Jerry re-
turned with four foot stick, and down
crept slyly up to the unsuspecting vic
tim. He fetched him a whack across
his back which bounced the rubber rat
into the air, and as he came down Jer-
ry gave him another whack which sent
it across the floor.
With an air of triumph he said as he
rose: "There's your rat ~
just then boy came in and picked
it up.
'Ts he dead ?" asked Jerry.
''Dead !" said the boy with a grin,
''yOu've knocked Il hole right through
the rubber" and then and there was
laughing that took good deal of liquid
to wash it out.
Another of his victims in Bath was a
clothing dealer who fired revolver at
the rat, and put bullet right through
silk hat.

state on your account ~
The old man went home with him,
winking at the lamp-pOsts and smiling
as he turned the corners. He had all
his comforts back, and the son bought
him a costly pipe and pair of box-tOed
boots that very day.
Well, as time went on, the son VEN
tured to suggest that the bonds had
better be turned over to him, and every
time he said ''bOnds" the old man
would smile and turn the subject to
patent milk-cans or the necessity of
counterfeters taking more pains with
their lead nickels. The other day, the
father went to bed to die, and he smiled
oftener than before as he lay waiting
for the summons. The son said his
heart was breaking, and then went
through the old mans clothes to find
the bonds. He didn't find any. He
searched the barn, and the garret, and
the cellar, and finally, when he saw
that death was very near, he leaned
over the bed and whispered =
"Father, do you know me-"
''Oh, Yes-I know you like book" J"
replied the dying man.
"And, father, don't you see that this
thing is almost killing me ?"'
"Yes, William, see it."
"And, father-those-t -those-bonds,
you know suppose you want them
used to purchase you a monument ?"
Correct, William" whispered the
father, winking CHASTITY wink, and as
that same old smile covered his face
death came to take him to a better
home.
When evening fell and the son and
the sons wife were wildly searching
the straw bed to get their hands Oh the
bonds, reporter stood under the gas
lamp across the street, and with his
thumb on his nose he sweetly called

manded an unlimited right Of arresting
