ECHOES PROM THE PEN.
How whisky DOwned Him.
BY A PRISONER.

Capt Bates, the efficient and pain stalking clerk of
the penitentiary, when putting new convicts
through the regulation examination, often comes
across queer customers, as the following incident
shows:
1t is customary to interrOgate each prisoner
as to his offence term of sentence etc. to see if he
is acquainted with the nature of his commitment,
and inform him if he is not.
The other day darkey brought in for
horse stealing, and Capt. Bates put the usual en-
quiry: well, sir, what brought you here? to which
the darkey replied, "Wh sky" whisky! why the
commitment says horse stealing" well, boss.
Use gwine to 'splain how dat is; you see went by
a gemmans stable, an l seed fine boss wot TUX
my fancy AN so solved to hab him Well. don't
care bout entering into details, but got dat hoss
an rode him off. l rode all dat evening, an got
miles away from whar borrowed him. Well, at
nightfall stopped at a crossroads country store
for refreshments. After gittin' drink and some
'baccy was gwine out OBJ the store when seed
corn-feld niger put a jug down near de door an
60 inside; spected dat jug had whisky, an as the
niger warn lookin' took de Jug an got my
boss an went. Well dat jug did hab whisky but
arter had it for a while it didn't drank it ALL
and dar's whar 1 made de mistake. When l got
pretty full didn't pay much tenton to dat boss
and de result war he played me de 'razzle.dazzles

'.How shall we escape if we neglect so great sal
vation?''
This passage from the Bible has a direct and
important bearing upon our present life. 1t does
not deal with the pronounced infdel, but with
that large class of persons, who while they really
them. they neglect the great salvation. Neglect
does not leave simply standing still, it drags
down. Neglect your conscience and it ceases to
speak to you. BY simply neglecting are allow
ing ourselves to drift downward. Salvation is
what lifts up.
'But suppose you do not take advantage of this
salvation how are you going to escape? Let a
man fall into the sea- he cannot swim and you
throw him rope. He keeps neglecting oppor-
tunities to catch hold of the rope until finally he
has no strength left wherewith to grasp it. How
can he escape? If you will not lay hold of this
salvation how can you escape? Not only can we
not escape if we neglect salvation. but we lose
the power to take hold until at last we cannot

Cost of Keenine a Horse.

The cost of keeping a horse by the most
Of persons is mere guesswork instead of
careful figures. If one purchases good
horse years of age, for $3.50, it is a good
bargain. A top buggy will cost $125: cut
ter 25; harness, $50; robe, $40; blankets,
So; comb and brush, 50; whip, 50; which
amount figures S337. Now, il we take all
into consideration, these will last on an
average ten years Perhaps the wagon
might last longer, but it would need re-
pairing in that time; on the whole, ten
years is a long average, as the horse might
be worthless in five years.
If it costs 1887 for ten years, 1t would
cost at the rate of S33. 20 per year, and the
interest on the whole outlay at 8 per cent
would be S2022. Add to this at least four
tons of hay, which has averaged in the past
te nyears Sl2 per ton, S4s; one ton of straw
for bedding, 81; ninety bushels of oats at
80 cents per bushel, S3l.50 shoeing So, and
il would be a cheap job TO care for horse,
wash wagons, etc, for 81 per week, which
would bring the price TO S52 per year, or
the sum total OF Sl97.42 for the year at
moderate figures. And yet we find thou
