MT. and Mrs. $. w. Massey of Dun can cane up Sunday last and spent a few days in town as the guests of MT and Mrs. Byrne. MT Massey arrived last week from Vera Cruz, Mexico, here he has been employed for the past fifteen months on railroad con- struction work. He went down under a contract Of s25O per month and ex- penscs, which at that time was worth $l7j gold. Silver declined so rapidly that when he resigned his monthly salary was worth only about $l00 gold. The decline in the price of silver has been great hardship on the business interests of the country, still, MT. Massy says that owing to the heavy inflow of American capital, the country is in prosperous condition. Railroads are being built all over the country, mines are being developed and plantations opened up, all by Americans. In fact, he says that the energetic Americans are fast picking ap all the best things in the country, and are well received and satisfied in the land of their adoption. However, he says that Clifton suits him little better than any town in Mexico.

And Forgive the Youth Before a Tuli
~Explanstion Had Been Made

And ForEavs the Youth Before a Fuli
Explanation Had Been Made
Il look upon you as a disgrace to
the college, thundered the irate pro-
lessor. @And were it not for my life
long friendship with your honored
father, IWould expel you, sir"
The present had been about the
tenth time during the term that
young Fulano had been reprimanded
for infractions of the college rules,
and it was very apparent from the old
gentleman's voice and manner that
he was about tired Of it.
Had the present offense beenmers-
ly Of the usual character he might not
have felt so indignant, Participa-
tiOn in the lively escapades peculiar
to collegians, if not carried too far,
he was disposed to wink at, ifnot over
look. But to do as Fulano had now
done-actually sell his text books and
those o his small library in ordert to as
sist in a grand jollifcation-was
something, he thought, that struck
at the establishments very founda-
ton.
Fulano, as one having no defense,
offered not a word Of explanation or
apology.
"And to think that you, a scholars
son and a student at this college,
should descend so low as to sell your
booksp' ended up the learned but an
CRY mar With a fine burst discern.
"But l didn't sell them all" feebly
answered Fulano. q have one left"
ooh, you have, have you?1 sarcas-
tically. "And, pray, what is that? A
patent office report?p
'No, sir" and the youth blushed as
though conscious Of showing a weak
ness Of feeling. ut is the presenta-
ton copy Of your own History Of
Spain, with which you honored me
on my arrival here"
The professor was touched in aten-
der spot. He was naturally proud Of
his authorship. He also loved the son
Of his old friend almost as his own,
and now that the boy had spared that
one book while sacrificing the rest
showed there was something good in
him, after all.
"Well, John, my boy" he finally
said, in a gentle tone, putting forth
his hand, "all youth has its faults, and
forgive you; but why, why did you
not sell that book likewise?D
q tried to, professor, but nobody
would buy it, "-LcAdon TitlBits.

The dogs Of wal are chained at last

Their feast Of blood and carnage past;
The earth, that bore their crimson stain
Hath waved 10 fields OF golden grain
Changing reapers with changing years,
Turned warlIke Mars to peaceful Ceres;
And hosts who met in deadly strife
Labor now in sustaining life.
Gods boanties, with a lavish hand,
Have filed the earth and blesi our land;
While famine, cursed within his lair,
Eyes our plenty with grim despair.
From foul contagious loathesome breath,
That fills the air with gloom and death
Exempt has been our land. With praise
To God our grateful voices raise.

Peals the stroke OF midnight hour

And left the living for the dead;

Its ashes urn'd by sixty-nine.
All hail thou smiling newborn year;
We grasp thy hand in welcome here;
For again thy presence brings to earth
The natal day of our Savior's birth.
As twelve disciples had our Christ,
Twelve laborers with thee keep trYst;
May each and all, in monthly call,
Bring s'Peace on earth-Good will to ALL"
