THE MERRY SIDE!

One occasionally picks mp. in the
journey through life, an atom of hu-
man eccpntricity which should be pre-
served for the lesson it teaches, if not
for the amusement it affords. With
both these points in view, we give the
following, which was told US by a
Minister short time ago.
At a certain point at which he was
stationed. there were two old members
Of the church-husband and wife
who were little vain as to their pow
ers of prayer. The old man declared
that he could beat the old woman
praying. and the old woman knew
that she could just pray the old man
into awe-struck admiration. This
point of superiority had been disputed
until it became unbearable, and the
old man determined to bring the mat
ter to a test. The Minister was a
good judge of prayer-of course he
was. and the old man was seized with
a happy thought. On certain eve
ming when there was to be meeting.
he went to the Minister and made a
request something like this:
BRO. -, the old woman an me
have disputed point. She claims
that she can outpray me, an know
that I can outpray her. Now we're
comm to church tonight. an I want
you to call on both of US to pray, an
after we git through, | want you to
tell us which has made the best
prayer"
Here was a pickle for the Minister.
While the congregation were on their
knees. petitioning the Throne Of Grace
for mercy and blessing. while hearts
were lifted up in earnest supplication,
the Minister must sit in his place,
umpiring prayer-contest, and trying
to decide, while one was praying,
whether the other had beaten it. The
Minister advised the old man to return
home and give up the idea Of trying
to ontpray.the old lady, but rather to
take her by the hand, and with her to
Journey through life. living for each
other, praying for each other, and
trusting to higher judge than the
Minister for decision as to the rela-
tive merits Of the human side Of the
prayers.

Representative Jones Bill for pre-
venting the truck system and the use
of scrip passed the House on last Fri
day. This Bill, if made law will
make it unlawful for any employer
or employers to issne any scrip token
check, draft, or other evidence of in
debtedness, payable otherwise than in
money. The penalty for violation is
fixed at not less than twenty-five nor
more than one hundred dollars, or i'm
prisonment of not more than thirty
days, and the amount of any such
scrip, token" &C., be recovered in
money from the party or parties so
issuing. This law is not to apply to
individuals or firms employing less
than twenty men. and gives employ
ers the right to give orders to stores
in which they are not interested, d.
rectly or indirectly. Whoever sells
goods or supplies Of any kind through
the intervention Of scrip, order, or
other evidence Of Indebtedness. at a
higher price than the current market
value of the goods in cash, shall be-
liable to the purchaser, in a civil ac-
tion for double the amount. in addi-
ton to fine Of not less than twenty
nor more than one hundred dollars.
Should this Bill become law its
workings will be watched with much
interest. both by employers and en-
ployees The object aimed at is doubt
less the betteriag of the condition of
the laboring men, by making all
transactions to be conducted upon a
strictly cash basis. Under the present
system and employee may draw his
wages in money once in thirty days
We believe employers do not attempt
to compel their hands to take scrip.
but the men must have means of snh-
Sistence during the month, and for
this necessity draw ont scrip. Then
many working men claim that they do
not get as good bargains. dealing at
Company Stores, with scrip, as they
