It was Ben's filth. er ; the son recognized him at the first glance, the wretched man was scarcely able to stand and several rude boys were teasing him by pul- ling his coat-tail, seizing his hat, pushing him first one way then another. A quick flush arose on Ben's cheek as ho glanced at his friends, there was amusement written on some of their counten- ances, as they took in the scene. unmistakeable disgust on one and that the face of his special friend, Keith Weswiok. "Faugh" he ex- claimed, "why will men make such beasts of themselves? let us go on the other side" Come Ben, be put a constraining hand on his com- panion's arm, Keith was vain enough to be flattered by the look of adoration Ben gave him as they crossed the street, but there was a fierce struggle going on in the lad's breast. Should he leave his miser- able father to his fate or acknow- ledge him? His friends took up the conversation where it had drop- ped, but it had lost its charm for one of the company, Ben could not listen ; he glanced uneasily over his shoulder. Ah, the man stumb- led, was falling, Ben's arm was hastily withdrawn from his friends as he sprang across the road. Keith shrugged his shoulders with a comical grimace. -Hiltz is troubled with an overdose of heart, I take it" he said laughingly, but he stop- ped good naturedly to wait for his return. Not so bad a thing either, only a little uncomfortable," as- sented another as they drew up on the curb to watch the affair. Ben was stooping over the poor wretch, who claimed his allegiance, trying to lift him, when one of the raga- muffins, recognizing him, cried : My eyes, it isn't the gentleman hisseif come to rescue his daddy !" which remarks was greeted with might imp organize 4. was the• link asw shame felt tha" he had.' of his:11, to see awhile reluctently scattered.

To obviate the tendency to dis- courage energy' and improvement is exaotlyitbe intent of the propos- ed chatnge in the Assessment AO, granting powers to municipalities. to fix a, lower rate upon the business and improvement values than upon the land values. Over 200 municipalities have already returned it favorably. Returns are coming by every mail. The stars were glimmering over- head when. the farmer rose from his drowsy bed ; he yelled as lie rapped at the bedroom door : "Get up, boys, ttp ! It is nearby four ! When I was as young and as spry as you, I always got out of bed at two ! Boys nowadays aren't worth a hang ; I never saw such lazy gang it's four o'clock and you're still .in bed, and the cows not milked and the hogs not fed! I reckon you'd sleets all day more, if I didn't break down the bedroom door ! Get up. get up ! It will soon be dawn, and the best of the morning then is gone !" The boys obeyed him and quit their snores, and donned their raimene and went outdoors. The farmer sat by the kitchen range, where his wife was working, and said : "It's strange how the boys are crazy to qnit the farm—the city life has a wondrous charm. They have lots to eat and a place to sleep, and they're always sure of their board and keep, and why they're anxious to quit the land, is something I .cannot understand" The good wife said, in an undertone as she placed in the skillet a piece of bone, and stuck her fork in some tbingumyjigs : "It's maybe because they are not pigs.

The Egyptian trees led to the cutting A Hint to Ministers—A clergy- man in a neighboring town had been much annoyed by the way members of the congregation had of looking around to take stock of late comers. After enduring it for some time he said on entering the reading desk one Sunday—"Breth- ren, I regret to see that your at- tention is called away from your religious duties by your natural desire to see who comes in behind you, I propose henceforth to save you the trouble by naming each person who may enter, and hope that the services will then be al- lowed to proceed without inter- ruption." He then began—Dearly beloved" but paused half way to interlope -'Mr. Stubbins with his wife and daughter" Mr. Stebbins looked rather surprised, but the minister with perfect gravity. re- sumed his exhoration. Presently he again paused -"Mr. Curtiss and Wm. Diggle" The abashed con- gregation kept their eyes studious- ly bent on their books. The service ccntinued in the most orderly manner, the .parson interrupting himself every now and then to name some new comer. At last he said with the most perfect gra- vity—"Mrs. Symons in a new bon- net" In a moment he felt his mis- take. but it was too late.

One might find two or three plau- sible reasons for choosing cotton as the symbol for the first anniver- sary, but why paper should sym- bolize the second, or leather the third, is as much a mystery as why the fourth has been skipped, alto- gether. Some ingenious person hassuggested that paper is given theSeconcl year because by that time the bride and groom have got over their oblivion to outsiders, and are ready to renew neglected correspondence. Anyone interested can study out reasons to suit him- self or herself—they are Iikely to be right as any others.

In our opinion he is a drag on the wheels of pro- gress. The man who becomes e. citizen to get the educational, re- ligious and other advantages the town affords paying only what the law demands from him towards the maintenance of its public in- stitutions and utilities should not become a "grouch" and every opportunity denounce all and sun- dry who week to aid in the up - building, up keep atnd progress of the town. They know its good points and should exploit them and leave the complaints unexpressed. The grumbler who knows all the bad features of a town and men- tions them at every opportunity, is not only a poor citizen, but he is one who does nothing to improve the town in which he lives. It is good enough. to provide a home for him and perhaps a place for busi- ness or an occupation, but that is forgotten in the general flow of complaint.—Exeter times. 83 20.00 22 00 22.00 35 36 Hoarseness in a child' subject to croup is a sure indication of the approach of the disease.
