THE TWO SCHOOLS.
In Three Chapters.

CHAPTER III.
The reader of the two previous chapters
has condemned or excused the young man
who started in life with bright prospects,
but now lies in an unmarked grave: but pray
do not be too hasty to enroll yourselves
upon the register of your chosen school. Let
lis see what course his brother has followed
during these years.
We left him at home under the instruction
Of the good family physician, trying to gain
a knowledge of one of the most honored pro-
fessions. He studied hard and advanced
rapidly, teaching during the winter months
until he had money enough to attend a
course of lectures. Near the close of his
first course of lectures. as he was honestly
.endeavoring to devise some means for fin
ishing his professional studies, he made the
acquaintance of young man who was sail
ing in boat of like color with his own. and
they began to scheme" 1t would take
two years to earn money enough to complete
his course if he taught school, and this
seemed the only honest course. His friend
had been into various SCHEMES and they
had worked like magic. They could earn
menOy enough in few months to complete
their studies and have something left with
which to begin the practice of their pro-
fession. So, after much thought and care
full arrangement, they decided to migrate
to distant state and gather up the
surplus currency OF the hardy sons of toll.
For farmers were the objects of their scien-
tific dealings. They were soon on the
ground, and being bright. fine appearing
and Industrious, the scheme worked like a
charm" They soon had the money they
started out to get, but they had a great deal
more-they had taste of dishonesty and
had learned that there was other ways than
honorable ones to get money. They went
on until they were finally arrested and it
took about all the money they had to get
them out of the clutches of the law. But
what was money? They could soon re-
place it, and they did. When the time came
for them to 20 back to their studies they had
devised another ''scheme" to work in one of
the large cities during the winter, and they
thought they would skip one year of study.
Well, we will make the story short and
say that though many times under arrest our
friend has never been convicted and has de-
voted his life to ''schelning" The last
time the writer saw him he was OF the
opinion that "a dull, prOsy life is but
shade removed from the realm of the dead"
We cannot say what his future will be, but
judging by the light of reason he will never

7'.This day shalt thou be with me in Paradise.''-
Luke xiii. 43.
When high upon Golgotha's cross the dying Savior
hung,
And up from the ieering mob below cruel, bitter
taunts were flung
Whose love and faith triumphed DER sin and
death
And turned and prayed to the dying Christ even
with his latest breath,
And to whom of all redeemed mankind the glory
great was given
OF entering at his Saviors side the newly opened
Heaven:
No priest or prophet was he nor Jewish prince or
chief;
But, wondrous power of mercy, an executed
thief.
So yet may earth's condemned ones, through
Chrst's redeeming love.
Leave PRISONS gibbets, here below for thrones in
Heaven above.

To whom the Savior pardon gave that day on
