Paid the Debt.

The following true incident was pub
lished by the local papers years ago,
but being true, and having been crushed
to earth, rises again:
In Van Buren, there once lived an old
gentleman by the name of John Bostick.
He kept an hotel and was also proprietor
of a blacksmith shop. A well-known
minister, Rev. Mr.. Buchanan, who al
ways put up with Bostick, met the ho-
tel man on the street one day, after
having staid all night with him, and
said:
well, Uncle John, how much do I
owe your"
"Owe me for what, Brother Buck"
why, you know I have staid all
night with YOU"
"Yes, Brother Buck, but you know
that / never charge preachers"
Il know that, Uncle John. but T hae

Brother Buck, l never charged
preacher for shoeing his horse"
"Idont want work done for nothing"
said the preacher.
well, Brother Buck, just remember
me in your prayers"
"All right, Uncle John; but as l have
always adhered to the ruIe of never
leaving a place in debt, get down on
your knees and we'll nave prayers
right now"
The two men knelt on the sidewalk,
and the debt was paid.-4rkdnsdn

story to tell, and u very dismal one it is.
He is %environed by dangers, as COM
pletely as he is saturated with the wet
"swarf' powdered stone) which DIVES
him a deep saffron color from head to
toe. He sits over a tool which at any
moment may send him through the
roof with all the suddenness and veloc-
lty of dynamite, and he works in an
attitude and especially if he be a "dry"
grinder inhales a dust which he knows
will shorten his life by ten, twenty, or
even thirty years. as constitution or
fortune may serve him. The sharp
crack of a breaking stone is an appali.
ing sound to the occupants of a grind
1ng-hutl. A bang in the trough, a
crash IN the roof. a piteous moan. and
all Is over. If the victim be alive. he
is hurried to the hospital; if dead, his
crushed body is reverentiy carried
away. No vigilance in the matter. no
