why Frank Was Forgiven.

1t ba opened one day that Frank, the
son of an eminent Clergyman, was sent
into the garden to play with the other
children, and, in q short time, fixed his
longing eyes upon favoritp cherrr-tree
of bis papa's, the fiuit of which all the
little ones had been forbidden to touch !;
bhtiheteulptation was too strong for
poor Frank. He looked again, and then
tasted, after which he returned to bic
companions, and. ina few moments af
ter, his fati er entered the garden See
ing what Lsd been done he called the
children TO him, and inquired what bad
become of the missing cherries. For Q
moment all we're silent, when little Frank
looked up, and said:
"Ecannat tell iie-l did 1t.
aHow many bave you taken !" was
The rext question asked BY his father.
z"Tbre." replied Frank.
.Then," said Mr. c., "for the next
three DAYS, sir. you will live on bread
and patersas punishment for your dis
obedience."
For two days the plate Of dry bread
and a cup of cold water waited for poor
Frank at meal times instead of bis usual
fare, and. on the morning Of the third
day, while standing at the breakfast. t.ta-
ble, his father asked him how he liked
his fare. The child answered:
81 can eat II very well, paps, but don't
much like IT."
And, after standing in silence few
minutes, he looked up, and said:
Cant you please forgive me. papa =
s,No, sir, cannot. My word has
PASSED, and you mnst take your three
da,s, as told you"
The question was again asked.
sBnt can't you really forgive NE, pa

NO." was the answer; 81 cannot
now. break nv word"
Frank Instantly said:
"Thcn. papa, bow could you say the
Lords Prayer this morning p
Mr. c. ordered the bread and wa.
ter to he removed. and. turning to his
little one, said, with evident pleasure:

FACTS.

Those contemplating a trip westward
will certainly do we'll to carefully con.
snlt the time tables OF the Baltimore and
Ohio road. Its celebrated fast trains,
its sure connections, and rates always as
low as the lowest, make it beyond ell
controversy the best line west. Colo
nists are carried in first class cars on fast
trains, and every possible care is taken
to insure comfort and convenience.
Trains run through without change Of
,ars tc Chicago, where direct connection
is made with al leading lines to the
west, northwest and southwest, making
hut single change of cars to Iowa,
E,usss, Nebraska, Texas, Minnesota.
s.c. No other line can offer such advan.
tages as the Baltimore and Ohio.-I,s
costs but very little time and trouble
to learn this, aud in the end may lead
to the saving Of much Of both as well as
money. Above all things do not pur-
chsse tickets before having talk or re.
ceiving a letter from one Of the B. l. o.
Agents. A letter addressed to W. E.
Reppert, Columbus, Ohio; to j T. Lane,
Wheeling, W. Va, to J. A. Webb, Fos-

tlemen will lead to thorough informa-
ton as to all necessary details of time

farmers are progressing rapidly in

of being self supporting and self

is needed for the prosperity Of the

seeking an education, then perhaps
a great change for the better will take
