THE CROSSROADS.

(Which road do we take, grandpa"
inquired Harry, as grandpa's little black
mare and Harry's pretty little pony
battered slowly, side by side, up tow
ard the crossroads.
whichever road YOU would like the
best" replied grandpa, carelessly.
Harry turned and looked at grandpa,
it was such an oddreply, bnt grandpa's
face gave no more information than
his answer had done.
You are Joking, grandpa, | know
you are said Harry, laughing.
''Joking l am very serious, replied
grandpa.
But, grandpa, we want to go to
Cresson."
$50 we do. Your cousins will be
pleased to see you, Harry"
Harry found that grandpa said no more
about the road, so he waited IA minute
until they came to the point where the
question must be decided.
Grandpa drew up his reins and quite
stopped his little mare, and Harry won
dered very much what grandpa meant
to do, coming to full stop just at the
point where the two roads crossed each
other.
''Do you forget which road to take,
grandpa
NO, indeed, l have trotted over
them both too often to forget about
them"
Then, which shall we take, grand
pa? }"
The one you like best, boy"
Harry was perpleXed, Grandpa
seemed so earnest in saying such a silly
thing
Il don't care which road we take,
grandpa, only l want to go to Cresson. !"
You want to 60 to Cresson, of
course, but it is strange you do not de-
eide which you like the appearance of
best; one you notice is much smoother
and easier travelled than the other
"Grandpa, | am sure they can not
both 90 to Cresson."
"Oh, no, nobody said they did, boy;
but what does that matter?"
Harry was greatly d.sturbed; he
! thought something must be the matter
with grandpa, or that he was very pro-
| voking. -1I

pa, if we take the wrong road" he re-

''But, grandpa, we will have to take
the right one, no matter what kind OF
one it is. :"
why, my dear boy, your words are
contrary to the actions of the greater
part of the people of the world; how
do you happen to speak so unreason-
ably?" ......
Harry's little Nudge was getting a
scrap fussy, and wanted to 90; Harry
looked perpleXed As he tried to make

Stephen W. Dorsey is moving in a
proper direction to make himself still
more odious to the American people.
His soreheadism matter as published
in the New York Sun will bring all
doubtful believers heretofore, to re-
pudiate him entirely What Dorsey
hopes to gain by his present course is
vague and uncertain. So notorious a
scoundrel cannot hope to make the
American people believe him innocent
or prosecuted. Speaking disparaging-
ly of our martyred President and
charging him with corruption of
various kinds, should and we believe
will convince all classes of the depth
of degradation to which Dorsey can
and does stoop. All fairminded men
will turn away from the statements
made by him in the Sun thoroughly
disguised. Dorsey is a rascal and
the world is now fully aware of the
facts. What he may say concerning
Garfield, Blaine or the Republican
party will do no harm to anyone but
himself.

her one half mile in 1:12, and mile in
