THE AY 'UOULM ASTER'S BAB 1", We all remember the story of the boy who wan promised, if ho relinquished bis ehnnee of going to the circus, visit lo his grandmother's grave. A Pittsburgh correspondent mentions an incident in that city of a somewhat similar character One day Master of 11JO Central school, promised his scholars, if they behaved well, the privilege of seeing a card picturo of his baby, of which he was very proud, andofwliieh ho was constantly talking. In an instant the most perfect behavior was lo be observed, and the studies were tin to the full measure of exeellcnco. The next day lie picturo was produced, and before lie handed it to the head boy, he made a brief sneech, descanting on (he merits of this baby and its wondorXul promise. The head boy received flic picture and apparently* passeir it through the class, whereat they all seemed highly delighted, passing it

iaek

to the teacher with grateful' acknowledgments, who probably does not know this day that the boy slyly exchanged thenicture for that of a little fifteenth amenamont, as black as coal with which ho had purposely provided himself."

Mlt. DlCKKNS ANI» Til (^VKKX.—It is not perhaps generally known that tho long estrangement In'tween Charles IMckens and the Court, only concluded mid set at rest just before his death, dated from the amateur performance at Windsor, many years ago, in which Mr. Dickens tixk* Ao prominent a part. While the novelist-was waiting for his cue. and working himself up into extrome excitability. Her Majesty and I'rincc Albert sent a messenger to graeiouslv invite Mr. Dickens to be presented to them. The nervous actor requested the gentleman to "boar his duty to his Queen," and pray her to excuse him till the performance was over. This was, of course, a breach of etiquette, and it caused tho subsequent coolness which attracted so much notiee. On Inking invited, just before his death, to an audience with Iler Majesty, Mr. IMckens. speaking to a friend, adverted to the old grudge, and hoped that bvgones would now be bygones, and the memory of the estrangement blotted out forever.

Hl.t'txioon, August 31, 1N70

How wundwful few on us ar capable uv properly keering fur a wito. .J low remarkably prone wo are to fall back on the ojd man, Now there's my friend Sykos, he was a sympathetic critter lie wooed and won llellen Mctlulre Hellen bed the heft of the money they started off on thor bridle tower with a great blast uv trumpets. The old man McGulro and tho old woman Met Julie stood a weopin and a wailin oil the front piazza. "Our daughter is a gwino away forovor," said Mr. MctJuire.

Korever," echoed Mrs. McOuire. Hellen wept copiously. My friends eyes were wet with a moistness, in fact thorc were a fust class iuneral about what they wits all a gwino to do. "I don't think I shel like Illinoy," blurted Hellen. "Them agers are terrilie," added Mis. Mc(iuire. "Here with my rille and my bay lioss," quoth my friend.

This last quotation soothed the hull irty like a dose of inorphy. U:iy bosses was tho delight of llellen. She doted on bay. Her hair was bay, and she used Bay rum on it. Sho dctnrmincd to take tho Bey route to Illinoy. When my friend Sykes mentioned the bay boss further, McGuire and his wife was reconciled. They knowed their son was a man uv property, fur wasn't a boss property, and hadn't bespoke uv a boss.

Well they parted, the young uns from the old uns, and sot out fur tho Sucker State, with high hopes. Just three weeks bed elapsed and McGuire wits rcgcrlv makin three trips a day to the post orfus, looking fur a letter from Hellen. He wus a sittin on the piazza, a fanin ov hisself, when he saw some 'one, or rather two, a comin up the lane. Come here mother, and see who conies."

Mrs. McGuire was a bakin doughnuts in the kitchen l'ur Sunday, She moved to the front, and carefull sliadin her eyes with a turkey fan, she exclaimed:

Why father, I do believe it is Hellen and her man." Can't be possible mother, they is in the Illinoy."

Can't help it, those is them." Tho couple approached, and suie enough it my friend Sykes and Ins bride. Sykes advanced and threw his self on Mr. McGuire's neck. llellen did as much for her mother. ..

Opinions of the Press.

From the crowds of eager buyers that All this house, we must Judge that the proprietors offer extra inducements to tlielr customers, as the accommodating dorks were busy n.s bees in cutting off and putting up all kinds of merchandise. We say success to the New York Store and the one pripe system.—Paris Beacon.

The one price system as adopted by this house, works like a charm, lliere is no overcharging, no trying to maka an extra dime. The dealings at the New York Store are fair and square, and every attention is shown to all their patrons. It is the constant duty of the proprietors to place before their customers any and all goods at the lowest rates and by charging the lowest percentage upon the cost of the goods, the customer receives the direct benent of purchases made under the market value. It is a. well known fact that the New York Store has been offering unusual inducements to buyers since it wa-s opened. The recent, heavy declines In all kinds of dry goods, however, enables them to sell goods still cheaper, as their facilities for buying are unequaled.—Journal.
