and when turning the corner of Pearl

Mr.. Grubb's injuries we are happy to say
were slight and confined to a bruised side
and otherwise strained. His little boy
sustained cut, (but in no way serious)
on the side of his head. The horse and
sleigh escaped damage.

late in your case, let me solemnly warn you
to shun such course in life irrespective
of the inducements which such course
may seem to offer. Such persons should be
abhorred by all respectable people as
they are only fitted to occupy in this
world an abode where, attired in the reg
ulation stripe, with cl osely cropped hair,
they may be regularly exercised and fed
under the direct supervision o. the author
izies of the State within whose boundaries
their nefarious business has been carried
on, and without any intention Of profan-
ity l might add that their abode in the
world to come should be where the
atmosphere is ever impregnated with the
fumes of ignited sulphur and the presid-
ing genius has clever foot
, But let US look at No. 8, man who
has evidently reached his three score
years and ten, the allotted life Of man.
He also has gained enough CT this worlds
goods to make him com Portable during
the short remainder of his Journey. He
belongs to very different class, ask him
for the secret of his success His reply is
somewhat as follows. At an early age he
was left alone in the world entirely de-
pendent on his own resources and by cir
cumstances compelled to learn and prac-
tice economy, but not meanness as there
is vast difference between the two.
He started in life with firm resolu-
tion to be Industrious, honest in all his
dealings with his fellow-men, faithful to
every trust imposed in him and plodding
steadily onward he by degrees gains the
contindence of his fellowmen, confidence
which he never abuses, but strengthens
BY his upright life, slowly advancing from
his present position to something better,
saving little from year to year, content
with small gains with clear conscience
thus slowly but steadily advancing until
we see him as he is to-day an honest
man. No man having aught against him
but justly honored and respected by every
acquaintance, such man furnishes an
excellent model for your guidance and il
one in whose footsteps you cannot follow
to closely.

The Pennsylvania Railroad Company
began an investigation early last month
to ascertain the extent of the free pass
system, and the amazing result has led TO
large reduction of the list of free riders
in New Jersey. An excellent time was
chosen for the inquiry-the time of the
meeting of the Legislature-an the con-
ductors were supplied with printed check
lists similar to the slips used on street cars
for recording fares. The number ofdead-
head tickets presented by editors, legisla-
tors, men of influence" ETC., was separ-
ately recorded. II was discovered that
from fifty to sixty dead-heads rode on
each train to the State Capital. An
examination of the pass list was made,
and it was decided to cut off about two
thirds-namely, on the family, compli-
mentarv and editorial lists. The COM
pany believe that the passes have been
loaned by parties to whom theywere issued
to persons who were not entitled to a free
ride, thus virtually robbing them, while
the pass owner was not benefited. Last
week the new passes were issued and
many who have been enjoying free
rides for several years were surprised
at not receiving their annual invitation.
The company, not content with looping
off the majority of the outside dead-heads,
checked the abuse among their employees
and now their train hands and other SER
wants are forced to pay for riding when
not on duty, at the triAing cost, however
OF one-half cent per mile.
