THE BOYS WILL PAT THE
EXPENSE.

Was walking down the street one day
With my mind on problem intense,
When the strangcst sound greeted my ears,
Twas: "oh, the boys will pay the ccxpensc."
As soon as these sounds greeted my ears
determined to find how great were the years,
When the girls regarded the fellows in the
sense
As simply the means OF dcfraying expense
looked at the child in his innocent play.
The boy and the maiden together were gay,
As with hands united tAcy formed in a ring,
And moving around would pleasantly sing.
/ beheld thc boy climbing the trees,
Stealing TIE fruit that girl he might please,
But when The tanner jumped over the fence
1t was only the boy that paid the expense.
Now watched the boy as man he became
And the girl by his side was always the same,
AS together they enjoyed the many pleasures
Which God has bestowed on his children as
treasures.
In the various large parties he rowcd at her
side
Ard in omnibus companies together they'd
ride,
But when came tie bill, which was quite i'm
r.tnsc,
The boy had to pay the entire expense.
A2ain | would ask you to change the position
And you'll find them together in married con-
dition,
As united they have sworn for the rcmain-
der of life

SELECT STORY.
A Faithful Boy Witness.

Some time after the beginning Of
the present century there was living
in d country town i'll the north of
Scotland, u pious couple who had an
Cnly son. For this son they daily
prayed to God ; and what they asked
in their prayers was that God would
enable them to lay in his young heart,
among the first lessons he should
learn, the loyesof all things honest
and good. So the foundations Of an
upright life were laid III the BOYS
heart, and among these very especial
y . regard for uprightness and
truth.
In the course OF years, the boys
schooI-days We're ended, and also his
apprenticeship to a business life in
the country town and as there was
no prospect for him there, he went
to England, to one of the great sea-
ports, and by and by he got Il good
position in merchants Office. He
WAS greatly pleased with his new of
ice,and wrote to his father and mother
that Providence had been very kind
to him, and had opened up an excel
lent place.
But he was not long in this excel
lent place before he was put to the
test in a very painful way with re-
spect to the lessons he had received
about truth. 1t was part Of the bus,
mess Of that Office to have ships com,
ing and going. And it was the rule
when d ship came INTO port, that its
captain sent word to the office that
he had arrived and was now waiting
Instructions whore to discharge the
cargo; and it was the duty of the
| manager Of the Office to send back
instructions to the captain when and
where this was to be done. A few
months after this little lad from the
north came to the office, ship laden
with coal came in, and the usua
message from the captain came but
somehow or other, no answer wa,
sent back to him. The captain wait
ed week, and still no answer came
back. Now, this was very hard OF
the captain. Until his ship got free
Of Its cargo, it had to lie idle in the
dock; and all who belonged to the
ship were kept idle too. so at the
end Of the week, the captain sem
word to the office that his ship hat
been kept so long waiting for in
structions where to discharge its car
60 that it had missed good offer o
IL new cargo, and the office woulC
have to pay hlm for the loss. Thii
payment is called 'demurrage."
When the manager Of the office go

The Wheeling MtelAgencer has
advices from Cabell county, W. Va,
which fatty contradict the statement
recently published alleging extreme
want there on the account of the
scarcity of provisions. The A1teM-
gencer'S information is to the effect
that there is no distress among the
citizens Of Cabell county that cannot
be remedied by the authorities, the
county being amply able to take care
Of the INDECENT suffering.
The repeated fleeing of outsiders
by the gorgcd money kings of Wall
street who have, through one scheme
or another, lured the confding public
into their clutches, has at last taught
their victims lesson so that now
their manipulations are vain, their
