AN IMMENSE ExcURsIoS.-The Sabbath
school OF the First Baptist church (colorcd)
advertised q picnic to Curls Neck yester-
day. The hour fixed to leave the steamboat
landing was o'clock. BY that time it was
discovered that about three times as many
persons were on the wharf as the barge
would carry, and the Captain refused to
take them down. AS all had tickets, and 1t
was impossible to decide who should go or
who should stay, it was found difficult to
get the crowd down to proper size. The
boat remained at the wharf, and the multi
tude gradually diminished until about II
O'Clock, when the barge put off with those
who remained.

how it could have possibly burned the
lott"
No, it was not very hot fire. In
deed, it was so small that it attracted
very little attention, and did not alarm
anybody"
But how could such little fire
burn up house and lot? You haven't
told me-"
at burned long time-more than
twenty years. And, though it seemed
to consume very slowly, yet wore away
about $3.50 worth every year, till it was
all gone"
l don't understand you yet. Tell me
where the fire was kindled, and all about
it,
Well, then, it was kindled in the end
of cigar The cigar cost him, he first
told me, $3.50 per month, or $3.50 pei
year, which in twenty one years would
amount to $3.50, besides all the inter
est. Now, the money was worth at least
10 per cent, and at that rate it would
double once in seven years, so that the
whole sum would be more than 5000
That would buy nice house and lot in
any city. 1t would pay for a large farm
in the country. Don't you pity the fam
lily of the man who has slowly burned
up their hOme?"
Whew! | guess you mean me, for
have smoked more than twenty years
But it didn't cost as much as that, ant
/ haven't any house Of my own. Hav,
always rented-thought was to poor tt
buy house. And all because hat
been burning it up! What fool | hav'
| been"
The boys had better never set fir,
which costs SO much, and which, thougl
50 easily put out, is yet likely, if ono
kindled, to keep on burning oil thei
! lives.
