Real Boy"
IT AM wondering how old man should be
before he ceases to make an ass of
himself from sheer good nature and
weak minded inability to say "No!"
Certainly the age Of discretion ought not
to be delayed much beyond middle age.
When man is old enough to be a grand
father he ought to have some sense, even
il he is unfortunate enough not to be
grandfather.
For the last week have spent most OF
my time in bed as the result Of foolish and
unreasonable indiscretion. Of course, every
man has had his indiscretons With one it
manifests itself in the use Of frewater;
with another, playing the ponies or poker.
third may seek to be member of all the
local secret societies and may Ego through
all the chairs" Another may, like Kip
ling's Indian potentate, turn to beauty, fair
and fral." Still another may make fetch
of religion to such an extent a to make his
friends long to break one of the Ten Com
mandments after session with him.
Without saying just how many kinds Of

the body that decided on it; but this
is hardly to be expected, because the
Importance, and sinister views of too
many characters will be affected by
the change.--Much will depend how
ever on literary abilities, and the rec
concentration Of it by good pens,
should it be openly, mean publicly
attacked in the Gazettes.-Go matters
however as they may, shall have the
consolation to reflect, that no objects
but the public good, and that peace
and harmony which / wished to see
prevail in the Convention, ever OBJ
truded, even for moment, in my
mind, during the whole session,
lengthy as it was.-What reception
this State will give to the proceedings
(thro' the great territorial extent Of
it) ! am unable to inform youth
these parts Of it, it is advocated be-
yond my expectation.-The great op-
position, 1t great is given, will come
from the Counties Southwark and
Westward; from whence ! have not,
as yet, heard much that can be de-
pended on.
AS | am beginning to look for you,
shall add no more at present, but
the best wishes Of the family, and the
affcctionatc regard Of your

from the horses started back down
the grade toward curve at which
no human hand could stay 1t from a
plunge into the vast depths below.
It was the violent swinging OF the
van that awoke Edith and springing
to window a glance told her or their
peril. Rousing Bert she told him Of
their plight and he sprang at once
to action.
Clasping Edith in his arms he drew
her to the top Of the van5 plunging
now at dizzying speed a dozen yards
from the curve Of death. Bert's clear
mind visioned their only chance OF
escape. At the spot where the van
must leave the road, a large tree
overhung and limb dropped almost
even with the van top.
Commanding Edith to clasp her
arms tightly, about his neck, he held
her to him with his left arm. He
swung his right arm up and caught
the limb as the careening wagon
swept from beneath them and disap-
peared into the chasm.
For an instant the two hung there
i'm space, then pain and weakness
overcame Bert, his~slasp slipped and
, the pair dropped to the fate it had
seemed they had missed by a mir
acle.
