he HAD LOW WAGES.
The Reason Why He Could Not Wear
Good Clothes
[ From the Rechabite,

FROM the heClaDlte.
The following incident occurred at
Bridgewater, N. Y. A young man was
asked to attend temperance meeting on
a Sabbath evening, and his reply was:
My clothes are not good enough to at
tend church My wages have been small
this year, and / must have them raised
another year, or | shan's work for my pres
ent employer"
"How much are you receiving this
year? You are working on farm ?'
=" Yes and | get $500 for nine months
and my board"
When is your time out 2'
=" 1t will be out in two weeks"
How much money will you have COM
ing to you then~
Not anything. l have drawn more
than my pay now"
" How much of the 5000 have YOU spent
for clothing ?"
Not quite $40"
Have you any beside yourself to support
or care for?"
No, sir; am for myself"
What has become of the Sl60?"
W-e-ll-Fve spent it,"
Oh, you have. Did you put it out at
interest? You don't seem to have any
great desire to tell where it did 90. do
you? Well, let me tell you In June
you drew $50 and went up to Utica to a
circus. You got drunk and bet on a three
card monte, lost all you had, got into a
fight, got whipped, put into the lookup

one who gets locked up) and in the morn
ing the Recorder fined you $40 Is this
true?"
Yes sir; but how did you find it out ?Y
That don't matter 1t seems they did
not leave you anything When the races
were at Utica vou drew $40 more, and
went there. You drank freely; you were
just full enough to bet on the slow horse
and lostall you had you had another fight,
and, as usual, received a sound thrashing
was taken before the Recorder, and, for the
second ofiense, paid S25 fine. You did not
even profit from this transaction. You
went TO the hop dance; whisky was plenty.
and you partook freely. You imagined
some one insulted you, and the result was
general row. This cost YOU S25 more.
besides the cost of the Court and the paw
ing of your lawyer. l should think Won
would want your wages raised"
can see it ALL What fool / am ?
Why, ! have worked five years for nv
present employer, and have not laid up a
cent. | have worn poor clothes; have
found fault because my pay is small. If il
had not been for drink should now have
$500 at interest, should be well dressed and
respected by honest people. l will be at
the meeting just as l am and sign the
pledge for life"
He kept his word. He took his pledge
that night, He has been true to it, and

picture? If you can, heed the truth and
be made better by correcting your mistaken

ADVICE TO CANDIDATES.

The ST Adams Sentry in mention
ing the fact that one of the candi-
dates for Gov. Dillingham; shoes is
in a waiting attitude, adds that the
plum will not come by waiting but
by working. In its comprehensive
summary of the work to be done
throughout the state, St. Johnsbury
is included of course, and the advice
given is as follows:
Something must be done, and that
right speedily; it is only twelve
months before election day, the moon
is already full and its last quarter is
nearly spent. In the stirring days
close at hand when the farmer is
bending every effort to secure the last
load of hay in time to bank up his
house for winter, the willy candidate
should get out his platform, tuck his
pants in his boots and settle himself
for an interview with the reporter of
the only great and greatest paper in
the state He must avow his allegi-
ance to prohibition, and assert with
equal gravity and sincerity that he
was born with high license and will
die of it if not stricken with a more
fatal disease. He should be an ar
dent supporter of thenew school law
and when he strikes Middlebury he
can, with great prOprlety, condemn
the state superintendent; in Rutland
he will not fail to criticise the foolish
questions put by the various super
visOrs in their examinations of teach
ers He will be an earnest advocate
of the importation of Swedes and
Kentucky colonies, but he must cry
from the hOusetops that the Chinese
must 90 He also will advise pub
fishers of Vermont to club their paper
with the 'Deadwood Deadbeat" at a
dollar and twenty cents for four
years and six months and be prepared
to convince a publisher who kicks
that there is money in the scheme;
but the one thing needful is to be
right upon the insane asylum ques-
ton. The votes of those who are i'll
and most of those who are out are of
supreme Importance. Caledonia
county is included in one of these
classes, probably the latter, as her
interests were certainly counted out
by the commission. In St. .Johnsbury
the well intentioned candidate will
take off his hat when passing the Of
fees of the Caledonian and Republi-
can, and remark with no uncertain
sound, Give us liberty or the insane
asylum" In Montpelier and Water
bury he will pitch his tune to quite
different key. The Argus, the Watch
man and the c. v, Governor of Yer
mont must be made to pull together.
They are not three of kind but they
make a good hand when it comes to
locating an insane asylum. All these
things the successful candidate must
do. Once accomplished he stands a
pretty even chance of getting left, af
fer all

A FAST RIDE LOCOMOTIVE.

We cannot tell from the time-ta bles
how fast we travel. The schedule
times do not indicate the delays that
must be made up by spurts between
stations. The traveller who is curl
Gus to know just how fast he is 60
ing, and likes the stimulus of think
ing that he is in a little danger, may
find amusement in taking the time
between mile posts; and when these
are not to be seen, he can often get
the speed very accurately by count
ing the rails passed in a given time.
This may be done by listening at
tentively a an open window or door.
The regular click of the wheels over
the rail-joints can usually soon be
singled out from the other noises, and
counted. The number of rail-lengths
passed in twenty seconds is almost
exactly the number of miles run in an
hour.
But if one wants to get a lively
sense of what it means to rush
through space at fifty or sixty miles
an hour, he must get on locomo-
tive. Then only does he begin to
realize what trifles stand between
him and destruction. A few weeks
ago lady sat an hour in the cab of
a locomotive hauling a fast express
train over a mountain road. She
saw the narrow bright line of the
rails and the slender points of the
switches. She heard the thunder of
the bridges, and saw the track shut
in by rocky bluffs, and new perils
suddenly revealed as the engine swept
around the sharp curves. The ex
perience was to her magnificent, but
the sense of danger was almost APP
palling. To have made her experience
complete, she should have taken one
engine ride in a dark and rainy night.
In daylight ride on a locomotive,
we come to realize how slender is the
rail and how fragile its fastenings,
compared with the ponderous ma
chine which they carry. We see
what trif1ing movement of a switch
makes the difference between life and
death. We learn how short the look
ahead must often be, and how close
danger sits on either hand. But it is
only in a night ride that we learn
how dependent the engineer must be,
after all, upon the faithful vigilance
of others. The headlight reveals a
few yards of glistening rail, and the
ghostly telegraph poles and switch
targets. Were a switch open, rail
taken up, or a pile of ties on the
track, we could not possibly see the
danger in time to stop H. G.
Prout, in September Scribner.

THE JOHNSTOWN HORROR.

1t is said that on an average two
bodies are yet being found every day
in turning over the debris at Johns
town, and frequently the number is
five or six. 1t is calculated that
these discoveries will continue for
several months yet, or until the
work of clearing up has all been
done. Not until then will it be pos
sible to arrive at a correct estimate
Of thenumber of people who persisted
in that great sea of flood and fire.
The general impression that the
South Fork dam would never be re-
built appears to be erroneous, as
there is a strong probability that a
fishing lake will again be established
in that locality. A member of the
fishing club said Friday that the
property was worth fully 100000,
and if the fishing resort was not re-
established the whole investment
would become almost a dead loss.
The intention, however, was not to
build a dam of the size of the one de-
stroyed, but one which would make
the lake much less in size, so that, in
the event of the barrier again giving
away, no destruction to life and
property would follow.
