How Tim Became a Farmer.

h1iiih~ J 49,
Tim had tried his best to get work,
but no one wanted his boots cleaned.
He wondered why it was. When
mother was alive, how often Tim had
begged her to let him set up as boot
black "They make lots Of money!
he would say. But she always shook
her head and said keep on at school
as long as you can; you're too young
yet. AS long as Tn spared | don't
want you to try it."
But thepoor hard working woman
had over-tasked her strength, taken
fever and died. Then Tim, left alone
in the world, with nothing but a
couple of neat but much mended
suites of clothes and FIVE dollars, re-
solved to SET up as boot black.
For a whole week he had tried it.
Some days be gottwo customers, out
now for two days not one person had
let him shine his boots. His five dol
lars was almost gone what should he
do? Tim was almost desperate, and
in his desire for job asked a lady
who was passing If he could shine
her boots. Perhaps she had little
bows Of her own, and made it rule
never to pass poor boy without a
kind word, for their sakes. At any
rate, she stopped and said;
"Not here, my boy; but If you
will walka ways with me, I'll let you
clean them, for they are very muddy.
Perhaps though, you will lose some
work by leaving your place 7"
mo, indeed: I've not had chance
to-day"
"That's bad,n said his new friend
III You need the money very much

, swelled, and tears filled his eyes.
/" There !there! don't fret, dear

This desire to show her attention

Truth to tell, she had no money TO

Suddenly Mary, who had been

HARD on THEM. - Resolutions were

back clubs of this city, on last Satur-
day night, calling in question the ca
pacity of Mr.. II. G. Still, chairman of
the Greenback executive committee of
this city, but they failed to pass.
Many Greenbackers say that II the reso-
lutions had been offered two weeks
ago, they would have been adopted,
but that it would now tend to disrupt
the faction. The resolutions make di-
rect attacks and charges upon Mr.. Still
who has done so much for the cause,
and say that his conduct and that of
his ''coadjutors" is ''unwise, unauthor.
lied AMI impolitic," that they have,
among other things, exhibited hostility
to ''press and printers, +" that Mr.. Still is
San excellent maker of saddle trees
and is an honest, true and tried Office
seeker" and that she be requested to
resign his position as chairman of the
county committee" This is certainly
no compliment to Mr.. Still, who raised
the party In Travis county out of its in
fancy and gave 1t force. If discords
begin thus early with the flats, what
may we expect in November. No ad-
