BOYS WILL BE BOYS.

The Rev. Epimenides Morton is the editor and proprietor of the WtekLy HaI- Iei1JIh Nesvs, ournal which abiy de- fends its creed and urges its subscribers to pay up. During many useful years the Rev Epimenides was a circuit rider, and many a man who is now enjoying the comforts which the gospel brings into a family, was seized by him in the early days and induced to take shelter within the fold.
 Several days ago, Mir. Anthony Riddle -as good church member as ever lived accompanied by hts little boy, called on Mr. Morson. Tue visitors were cor dialIy received into the ofi:e.
 "Why, my dear old friend" said the editor, you don't know how happy am to SC: you. An, and you have br ough. your little boy. Wha, fine little fellow he is. Never mind, that's all right, 1 as. sure you"
 The 6ae little fellow had shove d bot tie of ink of the table.

 "Di int go to do it," the boy replied.
 "Well. you must be more particular, or never will let you go any~here with me again."

 "Don't you think that his footsteps were indeed made ciearf'
 Perfectly so," Mir. Riddle politely lied for he had not read the article.
 "I am glad to hear you-oh that makes no difference, !! assure you."
 The boy bod dropped the editors scis- sors into the sf:::cca.

AN AWFUL CALAMITY.

An old negro, with an air of utter de lection, sat on bench in front of cabin. Some one, seeing that he must be miser- able, stopped and said:

 Brother Morton, what are you doing with tha, big pole standing there in the corner?'
 That, my dear Brother Riddle, Is q sapling that grew on the site of an old church, where [ preached my first ser mon.

 "Oh, woulda', do that" "Yes, will. l. is time he was learn ing ho~ to behave himself" The preacher and visitor. soon forgot the boys depredations and entered into an interesting discussion of the article which made Johns footprints clear. The boy got up, crossed the room and began 10 examine the sacred sapling.
 Henry, don't try to lift that pole"
 "No, sir"
 He can't hur it, Brother Riddle"
 But he can't do it any good. Yes, quite agree with you and most highly sp' preciate your love of faith"
 The soy lifted the pole.

The Knights of Labor have it in their power to do much good, not only to them selves but to those who shall come after them. In their advocacy Of the flee school system there are many noble ute ,erances, and their rejection of profes- sional politicians evinces clear foresight. Such sentiments could not well be ex- pressed by men who are in favor of blow iug up the country.

Cyrus w. Field, who persists in erect ing monument to the memory of Major Andre, the British spy, is either disgrace to American civilz ,tion, or hasn't sense enough to know that he is fool.

 A London correspondent says: "As much as the Eoglish affect to despise American literature they acknowledge that they are compelled to seek the writings of American humorists when they want fun." This is no compliment to American humorists for the Eng lishman, however dull, knows that he can find no humor at home. The London PsMA was once a great publi- cation but now its jokes are 2: a # as 2 prairie.

We find the following in the Union
Of the 23d: "The Portland Journal of
Commerce reaches the conclusion that
there is no doubt that the general effect
If this lease will be in favor Of Portland.
The only real harm which the Northern
Pacific cosld do this neighborhood was
the building of the Cascade branch. This
difficulty is now removed, as under the
circumstances, the enormous expenditure
for this work would be unnecessary and
unwise. The people Of the Yakima val
ley, however, may thank their stars that
this lease ard the cessation Of construc.
ton has not occurred sooner. The sub.
jet has been in the balance just long
enough to enable the completion Of the
road into the rich country about Yakima
City and Ellensburg, and the stoppage of
construction at these points makes them
supply depots for interior Washington
for an indefinite time to come.'
So according to this the friends Of the
Cascade branch may as well hang up the

the Cascade branch, although the dist
