place to Yankton alone in On onen skltf.
The DISTANCE between the two places by
the river is 500 miles. He made the
trip in five days. He brings back very

A RUMoR was current in the city the
other day that a laborer III the Oriental
Mills who had been in the habit of secret
ing his earnings in a cigar box which he
kept under the floor of the mill, was
rather taken back when, recently, he
desired to use the money-some 800 or
S500-and found that rats had chewed
it into a thousand pieces. He took some
of the remains to one of our banks, but
it was so completely minced up that
none of it could be redeemed. The fact
that we have banking institutions here
for the safe keeping Of such truck is
probably now fully impressed upon his
mind

MATRIMONY AND OUR FAST
YOUNG MEN.

The pastor of a church in one of
our large cities said not long ago: l
have oficiated at forty weddings since
I came here, and in every case save
one, I felt that the bride was running
an awful risk. Young men of bad
habits and fast tendencies never mar
ry girls of their ewn sort, but demand
a wife above suspicion. So pure,
sweet women, kept from the touch of
evil through the years of girlhood,
give themselves, with all their costly
dover of womanhood, into the keep
ing of men, who, in base associations,
have learned to undervalue all belong
ing to them, and then find no time for
repentance in the sad after years.
There is but n way out of this that
L a see, and that is for you-the
young women of the country-to re-
| quire in association and marriage,
purity for purity, ~sobriety for sobrie-
ty, and honor for honor. There is no
reason why the young men Of this
Christian land should not be just as
v~irtuous as its young women, and il
the loss of your society and love be the
price they are forced to pay for vice,
they will not pay it. l admit with
sadness that all of our young women
are not capable of this high standard
for themselves or others, but l be-
lieve there are enough earnest, thought
full girls in the society of our country
to work wonders if faithfully aroused.

SO

Many years ago when speculatiOns
real estate was very active, the
owner of a farm at G%reenpoint, (now
Brooklyn)' l.. L., a widow, was very
desirious Of selling it, and had fixed
the price at $40 1000, but it appeared
to be overlooked for a long time. Fl
nally the widows son, an easy-going
countryman, while at the grocery
store in the village, heard 4 stranger
inquiring for land, and he offered the
farm.
what is the price," was asked.
500, 600 was the bold answer.
The stranger looked owe the
property and asked ION what terms
will it be sOld!'
"One-half cash, the other one-half
in five annual installments, secured
by mortgage on the property
After a few moments deliberations,
the stranger accepted the offer, paid
$500 as earnest and ordered the pa
pers made out st once.
The son returned home to
the news. I've sold the farm,
mother"
"You don't say, for how much?'
"Guess."
"Ten thousand dollars"
"Guess again"
You didn't get fifteen thou
sand?''
"Guess again."
"Well, I'll make it enough this
time, twenty-five thousand?"
And yet the only answer was,
"Guess again
Il shan't guess no more, for l
know you're foolin' john"
"Well, mother, I've sold it for
500, 900"
Good gracious" exclaimed the
mother when she could get her
breath.
''lialf cash, and halfyearly for five
years"
The human nature spoke out, You
great fool, We shall never get the
rest Of the money in this world"
The money, however, was all paid,
and the tract is now owned by Union
College, n. Y.-Saturday Evening
Post.

GIRLS, DON'TTALK SLANG

Girls, don't talk slang! If it is
necessary that any one in the family
should do that, let it be your big
brother, though we would advise him
not to adopt pigeon English
when there is an elegant, systematic
zed language that he can just as well
use: But don't you do it. You have
no idea how 1t sounds to ears unused
or averse to it, to hear a young lady,
when asked if she will go with you
to some place, mot much!" or, if
requested to do something she does
not wish, to hear her say, Cant see
it,"
Not long ago we heard a young
miss. who is educated and accom-
plished, in speaking of a young man,
say that she intended to go for him,'
and, when her sister asked her assis-
lance at some work, she answered,
''not for joel"
Now young ladies of ~unexception-
able character and really good educa-
ton fall into this habit, thinking it
shows smartness to answer back in
slang phrases; and they soon slip
fippantly from their tongues with a
saucy pertness that is neither lady
like nor becoming. 81 bet" or ''you
bet" is well enough among men who
are trading horses or land; but the
contrast is startling and positively
shocking when a young man is hold
ing the hand of his lady-love, to hear
these words issue from her lips. They
seem at once to surround her with the
rougher associations of his daily life,
and bring her down from the pedestal
of her purity, whereon he had placed
her, to his own coarse level.
We know the bright-eyed girl who
reads this will think the matter over,
and do what is right, and discard
slang and unladylike phrases.
