4 Little Boston Story Of Hearts Made
Sad.

One day a gentleman residing upon
Chestnut street, Boston, was seized with
the desire to go out carriage riding
with friend. There is nothing partic.
ularly sinful in such desire, but for
some reason or other the gentleman
aforesaid, not wishing his father tn
know his intention, requested the driver.
when the carriage was ordered, not to
stop in front of his house, but to drive
up and down the street until he an
peared. Another dweller on Chestnut
street-a lady-was similarly inspired.
and ordered her coachman to bring the
carriage to the door at a certain hour.
The coachman obeyed orders In due
course of time number one issued forth
from his residence, and seeing the We
hlcle OF number two in waiting, imagined
1t to be the conveyance he had ordered
from public stable. He sent the
coachman about his business. and then.
taking the reins, departed in direction
that was equivalent to travelling all over
creation. BY and by the lady, wanting
her carriage, came forth to seek it. and
learned that it had been driven AWAY
by stranger. Confusion in every d.
rection. Horse and carriage stealing.
Detectives wer- placed upon the track
OF the robber, who was eventually
brought up with a round turn at an
out-of-town hostelry. The detective
jumped on the box, and forcing the
young man to lock arms with him,
drove back into the city Dismay of
the young man of respectable family
being arrested as horse-thief. Expla-
nations OF no avail The detective in
credulous- All made clear when the
driver OF the carriage really ordered by
the young man vituperates him for hav-
ing made him drive up and down Chest
nut street for over an hour. Happiness.

is tacit understanding that all Chiricahuas

A DrunkarSi's End.

On last Saturday we witnessed a
scene, the sadness of which would
have melted to pity q heart of stone
1t was the end of a misspent life
There, where he had gone to obtain
the intoxicating fluid which had rob.
bed him of home comforts, happiness
and friends, and urged him on to the
grave; there, where he had fallen, q
victim of strong drink; there, on the
hard, cherries floor Of a saloon, lay
Patrick Dillon, gasping for breath,
with no bed save the hard, damp
floor. no pillow save his tattered coat
no covering save the thin, dirty gar
ments which alone had protected
him as he lay on the broad earth
beneath the canopy of heaven, after
drenching rain on the night pre-
vlous. There, with no familiar
hand to wipe the death-dew from his
brow, no one to soothe Lis last hours
with words Of love, none to catch 8
parting message to be treasured in
the archives of memory-there, his
soul took its fight TO the judgment
seat of the God who gave it, and his
body was placed in the pauper's
grave.-CorroH Watchman.
AS we write this, there are drunk
ards all over this fair State of ours
whose habits are leading them steT
by step and day by day to a similar
fate; and yet there are men of reason
and patriotism who contend that the

public necessity. Can truth be 81

ferers at Wesson; throughout the

ty. They have honored every draft
made by our unfortunate sister town
of Beauregard, supplying every de-
mand made npon them. This they
will continue to do, so long as funds
last or occasion exists. What more
can men do? Their hands are clean;
their books are balanced, and theil
consciences are clear, as the morn
