GODFREY DENYER'S PENANCE.

When young Godfrey Denyer repu-
dated his signature to a check for
large amount, drawn in favor of his
friend Captain Wrake, he did not for a
moment anticipate the serious conse-
quences which ensued. His object was
simply to gain time to arrange matters
with the Captain, for the truth was that
he had not the money to meet his draft.
He was so extremely inexperienced and
unbusiness-hke that he did not imagine
for an Instant that his bankers had
any cause of complaint in the matter
He thought they would simply return
the check to Captain lWrake's agents,
with an intimation- that there was an
informality in it. And he was so stag
gered and Mortified by the amount Of
the check that he eagerly adopted the
the suggestion of the clerk who waited
upon him from the bank, that the sig
nature was q forgery, byway of tempo
rarily extricating himself from embar-
rassment. To an ordinary observer
there certainly seemed something wrong
about the signature, but Godfrey Den
yer, bearing in mind the state he was
in when he wrote the check, was not
surprised that his handwriting should
have been eccentric. The transaction
took place at a supper party at Captain
Wrake's rooms a few nights previously,
on which occasion young Denyer dimly
recollected having played recklessly at
cards for high stakes, but as to what he
had lost, and even how he had found his
way home afterward, his memory was a
perfect blank.
Godfrey Denyer was very foolish
young man. He was, in fact, one of
those vain, silly, weak-minded youths
whose chief ambition is to lead the life
of fast man about town. Unfortu-
nately he had no near relatives, to inter
fere with his tastes and pursuits, while
small fortune which he had inherited
on attaining his majority enabled him
for brief period to indulge in every
folly and 7extravagance.s But he was
not naturally either vicious or profit
gate, though he aspired to be taken to
be so, and consequently the idea of
having incurred n debt of honor which
he was unable to pay filed him with dis
may. When the bank clerk had left,
taking the fatal check away,
Godfrey Denyer at once set forth to
seek Captain Wrake, feeling deeply dis
tressed and humiliated, but by no means
conscious of the Nervousness of the lie
he had told.
Captain Wrake was not to be found,
either at his chambers or at his club,
and after rushing about with, feverish
anxiety to various. places in search Of
him, young Denyer returned to his own
rooms tired and disheartened. A
hanson cab was at the. door, and as he
entered he ran against rather pomp-
Gus, elderly gentleman, who at once ac'
costed him: "i '"|.l.
"Mr. Denyer, believer"
Eyes" replied Godfrey.

SUPPLEMENTARY REPORT.

SUPPLEMENTARY REPORT.
We have further become satisfied
that the railroads Of the nation are of
so indispensable nature to every ed.
ucational, and clsilIzing influence
thst they must be controlled by the
people instead of individuals for in.
dividuals; that the power of con-
solidation of so vast an amount of in
dividual capital as is represented in
the railroads Of this government is 30
contrary to every spirit of republican
ism or democracy, and which must
eventually destroy the last vestige of
a peoples government In the United
States.
We therefore recommend that the
legislature petition, by a iaint me.
mortal and resolution, our national
legislature to formulate and enact
such laws as will at the earliest possi-
BILE time transfer the. railroad system
into the hands of the general govern.
