Finally it became very evident that the

who has been in the rectoTy upwards of TWO
years, was surprising g AMI Il pie aSant deyel-
opment OF our vacation. Although paid his
wages regularly every week, and in addition

numerous loans among the rectur's friends
during MS absence. Some of these have come
TO light. How many others there may be we
do not know 1t TOO bad.
Francis Hall is the name OF the rector's
colored lad" said Treasurer READ OF the
church tonight. For two years he has
been good boy and did very well until
the rector and his family went East. Alter

Saving For Old Age.

No one denies that Il is wise to make a
provision for old age, but we are not all
agreed as to the kind Of provision 1t Is best
to lay In. Certainly we shall want little
money, for destitute old man Is indeed a
sorry sight. Yes, save money, by all
means. But an old man needs just that
particular kind of strength which young
men are most apt to waste. Many fool
ish young fellow will throw away on a
holiday certain amount Of nervous en-
ergy which he will never feel the want of
till he is 20, and then, how much he will
want It It's curious but true, that bot
tle Of champagne at 90 may intensity the
rheumatism Of threescore. 1t Is fact that
overtaskihg the eyes ut II may necessita te
the aid Of spectacles at 40, instead Of 80.
We advise our young readers to be saving
Of health for their old age, for the maxim
holds good with regard to health as to
money Waste not, want not"
It Is the greatest mistake TO suppose
that any violation OF the laws of health
can escape Its penalty. Nature forgives
no sin. no error She lets OFT the offender
for 80 years sometimes, but she catches
him at last and inflicts the punishment
just when, just where, just how he feels II
most. Save up for old age, but save know
ledge, save the recollection of good deeds
and Innocent pleasures; save pure
thoughts, save friends, save love; save rich
stores of thct kind of wealth which time
cannot diminish nor death take away
