(Naemi, in The Union Signal.) Paul's Decision and What Came of It. No merrier boy attended our Fairfield village school than Paul Denton. If a stranger had inquired who was chief lead. CT in all the village sports, the answer would have been, Paul Denton. Somehow the older boys, unconsciously to themselves, yielded to Paups decision in everything of importance, for in the two years he had lived among them he had won the hearts of all, from the stern schoolmaster down to little Susie Cross the tavern keepers daughter.
 No wonder, then, when early one Mon day morning it was reported that Jessie Clinton was going to form Band oi Hope, all the boys looked at Paul to see what he thought about it.
 "Hello, Paul! going to join the Band 1of Hope ?" cried two or three at once.
 "Band of Hope, who has started a Band of Hope ?''
 "Jessie Clinton, and all the girls are going to join, and they want you to-"
 know what they think" cried Harry Austin, the oldest boy in school, "they know if they get Paul they are sure of all the rest.''
 "A frown seemed to settle on the usually fair countenance as he answered: "Well they won't get me, that's sure; I'm not going to promise not to touch sweet cider, and that is what they want you to do ; most a wonder they don't want a fellow to stop eating apples for fear the juice will make us all drunkards. No, sir boys, l haven't forgotten how we are all invited down to. Farmer Atkins on Saturday to kry. his new cider, so don't forget to be on hand"

(Norwtch Bulletin.) HIGH-SOUNDING WORDS.

| New York's youngest daily, The Re- corder, sent it's own street-cleaning gang out on Twenty eighth street, Saturday, during the rain, and swept mile of street, clean, in little over three hours, at gross cost of $6.60.
 Then The Recorders young men fig- ured up that, at this rate, it would cost just $4SS, ,592 to sweep every mile of street in the city every other day for year, and to sweep 174 miles in the business center of the city every day for year, exclusive of Sundays. Commissioner Brennan has just $559,5sO given him for this very purpose, this year.
 The Recorders young men having ar- rived at this conclusion and these facts, reported them to The Recorders editor, who proceeded to prepare a double lead ed, double column open letter to Commis- sioner Brennan telling him he is either the weak tool of an interruptions organ ization or dishonest man himself, and continuing: .4
 Now, then, you shall either honestly spend the money you are entrusted with, and in such manner as will secure to the taxpayers the best possible results, or you shall get out of your position even though there were a dozen .TammanyS behind you. Clean the streets as they should be cleaned with the money you receive. Clean them as The Recorder has cleaned them-that is, clean them clean, or we will prove to every inhabitant of this city, in way that child will understand, that your department is farce and that the people are being robbed, even those whom you employ.
 Our journalistic Orlando ''writes brave verses, speaks brave words, swears brave oaths," indeed. They are full sounding words that fill the mouth and fairly make the page on which they are printed rum ble with paper-y indignation and the promise of popular rebuke.
 But, how are they to be made good2 How is this incompetent or dishonest of ficial to be scourged out of his place, and how are the streets of the Tammany-rid- den city to be swept and garnished2 The Recorder s answer is indicated; by expos ure and proof that the department is farce and that the people are being robbed.
 But, dear contemporary, there isn't man, woman or child in all the most ig- norant and sottish wards of New York that doesn't know that, now. How are you going to arouse popular indignation against man or system by simply ex- posing the facts concerning that system which the people already know ,and know ing which, they deliberately choose that man and support that system ''~''
 The trouble with those people in New York city who want clean streets and healthy city, and honest administration and good government, is that they are minority. The majority don't want any of these things. They prefer the Tamma- ny system. And there isn't any trick known in our method of government by which the minority even when it is decent and intelligent, can permanently overcome the majority, no matter how lacking that majority may be in decency or intelligence.

The exercises over, Paul hurried out, longing 10 run away from his own thoughts, but scarce had he gone two blocks before he heard timid: voice calling him, and glancing up he saw the figure of little Susie Cross hastening toward him.
 "Oh, Paul! want to speak to you just one moment. You won't mind, will you, if tell you something? heard papa say something so dreadful the other day when you boys passed, and like you so because you are always kind to me, and if-oh! if you should ever be like him. Paul, don't drink any more ciderAbe- cause-I must tell you what he said,"- and convulsive sobs shook the little frame. Paul drew Susie's hand in his, walking slowly aloug until she became quiet. "Now, Susie, what is it you must say ? Do not be afraid" ..r II tell you, not because I like to, but because must He said Farmer Atkin was doing him the best turn he ever had in his life in having you boys up there Edrinking cider, because it wouldn't be long before you. would want something stronger"
 "Did-did he dare to say that2" and the grasp on Sdsie's hand frightened. ,"He really did, and it was so awful.". Paul relaxed his. hold of Susie's hand, and, bidding her return home, started to go he cared not where, to quiet the tu- mutt he felt raging. within. ..'....
 ,Withxclinched hands and bated breath he hurried on, until he found himself alone on the open common. Throwing himself at full length under the ,nearest, tree with face buried in his hands, anger and modification raging in his heart, he thought of Susie's words. How dared Jim Cross to think of such a thing, much less say it, and of him2
 Over and over the words rang in his ears, until they seemed written with a Pou Ol HUI. w Oulu uo ever Wdub any thing stronger, and if he did not, would any of the other boys? Could he appear so weak to, the boys as to tell them he was afl aid to drink cider? ..
 Like, an omen of peace came the words, "When we are weak then we are strong" Could he by owning his weakness really become strong? Slowly the hands un- clinched, and the sledge-hammer beating of his heart ceased
 Long he lay thus, and when at last he rose from the ground, the battle had ceased, and there was great calm, for Paul had decided-and had decided right.
 Jessie Clinton was radiant when the following week the boys, headed by Paul, told her they were ready to join the Band of Hope, and the tears rolled down Susie Cross' face when Charlie Clawson whis- pered he was so glad she told them what her father said.

CONVICT LABOR.

A. correspondent of the Brookfield (Mass.) Union says of this problem:
 Each year an increase of the great horde of criminals in our penal institutions who must be maintained largely at public ex- pense, make the matter of more and more importance. To support our criminal classes in idleness is always fruitful of the most unhappy results. Many nat urally lazy, who have lost caste through l imprisonment once, will become habitual criminals in order to secure the support and protection in idleness which imprison- ment affords. On the other hand for the state to embark in manufacture for the purpose of giving its criminals employ ment is unfair to honest working men, since it tends to depreciate prices from cheap labor and over-production. It makes the state great and powerful cor poration against which private companies and weak citizens must compete. The custom of letting the prisoners out to work by contract for individuals or pri- vate corporations is no less unfair to self respecting and honest laborers.
 But why might not the matter of public highways be solved through this problem of convict labor? Why should not those who break the laws of our commonwealth labor for the benefit of the state? Now if the state were to employ board of su- pervisors of public highways, one, sup pose, for each county, with a sub-officer for each town, and then allow to each county supervisor a certain proportion of convict labor of the state, to build and keep up the roads, would not the county be greatly benefited, and two perplexing questions be approximately solved? From an economical standpoint it surely would be a great success and the burden of tax ation lessened. ,, ::
 I am aware that such an issue can only be brought about through long course of agitation, even if public sentiment were already in it's favor. In the meanwhile in many parts of our commonwealth the people are suffering for want of passable highways, and strong local sentiment votes against further taxation for the purpose
 Unfortunately for our tax payers the matter of road building does not rest up- on the state. Each town is responsible for it's own streets, and each citizen al- though he helps support a large number of criminals in idleness, is no less bound to aid in discharging his share of what an imperfect system of road making imposes.
 I hope, my dear sirs, that you will con- tinue to stimulate public pride ana indi- vidual conscience, and still agitate the matter of some different n ethod of road building until our highways, are decently comparable with those in other towns.
