SPEND OR SPARE.
The old man said, and he spoke tho truth,
sorry sight is a spendthrift youth.
Who seeks iris ease,and who loves display,
And has no thought for a rainy day I”
The old man said* and his video was
hushed:
.‘Ah! many a ono in guilt lias rushed,
Because with a reckless hand ho da.ed
To spend the gold that ho should mi' c
spared.
"And many a rich man’s son T meet,
In my daily rambles along the street,
W.io hns his dwelling among tlie poor,
And a hungry wolf is beside his door,
"The other day l teceived a call
From a prodi gal son wlin'd sju nt his all;
II js days of frolic and feasting o’er,
Lie le gged a pdtance from out my store.
•‘Spend or spare! it. is yours „o choose
It iis time you w.ist : or money y-u lost ;
And yoer future depend* very much in
truth,
On how you have managed in days of
youth.
"If yon spi nd in you go, you may depen
You’! 1 soon huv. nothing at all .u -pinuf
Bu to p aident ways if you give good
hee I,
You'll tuv r lack ill a hue of uied.
H« who has never been taught to spare,
Will have an m l ago full of want and
* rale;
While he who earns and is “low lo ,>eud
May I've in comfort until Ido’s end."

more ado about
than was proposed by the family.
Accordingly, a few days before
attaining hia majority, ho announc
ed to him astonished parents that
he contemplated making a “bridal
tower.”
“A what. Zc!;o?” exclaimed Mr
Spalding.
“A bridal tower!” repeated
proud of his superior knowledge
of tho English language.
“And what in the land is that,
Zekial ? ’
“Its a journey that folks take
just after they uro married. It’s
what all stylish people do.”
Well, suppose they do, you
ain’t stylish, Zeke,”
Well, I’m going to bo,” said
Zekial. jJR,
“Where’ll you go to, Zoke? To
Wood -took ?’’
“ l o Woodstock!” repeated Zeke,
in a lotto of sovereign contempt.
“That would be a tower, I should
think. It’s only ten mUes of.'. No,
dad, I'm gj*ng further than that.
I'm going fust to Merit a, and down
tho road to Atlanta, from there to
Macon.”
“Oh, the land! Why, Zoke, it’ll
co«t a mint of money ”
“-Veil, dud, suppose it does, I
want some fun one* in a wnilo,
oven it it docs cost something,”
‘ Where do you expect to got
your money ?”
“Why, dad, you know you pro
mised me $53 when I come to he
twenty one.”
“You ain’t going to spend all
th«ti’u trapse ing round, aud seeing
things? Why, Zeke, it would bo
enough to buy tsvo heifers, aud
maybe a cull besides.”
“ i he heifers may go to grass 1”
s dd Zeke.
“So they will iu the spring,”
said Mr. Spdding senior, slyly.
Perhaps it was his owu wit that
mado him tool more resigned to
Z’kos plan, at any rate be made
no more objection to the “tower.”
which henceforth become a fie.tied
thing.
Accordingly, no sooner had Zeke
Spalding and Pliebe Jane Bryant
been united by the Rev. Noah
Raich, than they set out for f lie
nearest railroad depot, and arrived
in duo time at Allauta.
They were to proceed to Macon
by the day train, which started
at about half past 7 o’clock in the
morning, ane arrived in Macon
sometime iu the afternoon.
About half an hour beforehand
the twain arrived on hand, and
were looking about .hem with ihe
liveliest curiosity, when it occur
red to them to inquire of one of the
employes ou the cars at what time
they should arrive at their destina
tion.
Not finding one of the employes
at liberty, however, Zeke accos.ed
one of the passengers—a well-
dross gentleman, who stood apart
from the crowd, quietly nursing a
sore hand which ho had suspended
iu a sling.
“'Pears lute you got a pretty sore
band, stranges?” said Zeke.
“Very/ answered the traveller.
“Ivin you tell mo what time this
car reaches Macon ?” was tho next
qaes. ion.
“About 4 o’clock,” was the re-
ph«y.
“-Wit'll-ber aU-ttved hungry by
O'i.t t'ine,” said Zeke, in alarm.
“>>/appcuiiec >mi8 ou reg’iar at

“Oh, wo have dinner on trains

“llow much :!•> they charge any

“ t hey charge sevo by fi o ct*.”

Zrko, “that's a power'ul juice.

makes thii.y-seven cents apiece.''
“Noi it don't 1 mean seventy-

“Oh, niu det*! I sliaii t have a ly

.“Wo can wait till wo get to Ma

“No, we can't. My upper,to
comes on reg’lnr at noon."
‘•Couldn't you go out and buy a
hunk of gingerbread, Zoko. Yru
kin get a whole loaf tor a dime,
and l guess two or three would bo
enough.”
“Just the thing, Phebo .Tuno,
you've hit it. I say, mister, how
soon are you going to start ? ’
“Not under twenty minutes.
“ rhnt'll be time enough for mo
to go and got some. Just you stay
here, Pliebe Jane, and I'll go and
got the gingerbread.’’
{‘Yes, Zeke, y6”'ll fiud naelier^.
^ Accordingly Z.sko aeti
’foraging expedition, and walked
somo way expecting to find a ba*
ker’s shop. At lengili ho came to
one, but. not till ho bad expended a
greater amount of t/irao than he
was aware of. Ho succeeded
making a satisfactory purchase,
and with three loavos of ginger
bread done up in brown paper,
and, for additional security, tied
up in a red bandanna handkerchief
Zoke set out on his return. Bui
on coming out of the baker's shop,
bin head was quite turned round, so
that ho took precisely the wrong
road, and every stop that ho took
carried him farther away from the
cars and his adored Pliebe Jane.
Ho wondered why he didn't
come to tho carshed. At longth he
asked a passer-by in regard to its
situation.
“You’re walking away from it (
was tho answer. “It's'about a mile
and a quarter from here.”
“By hokey 1' exclaimed our ltoro,
desperately. “They will carry off
Pheba Jane. That chap said they
wero going in about twenty min-
utos..
“With this direful apprehension
to stimulate him, Zeke began to run
as fast as his long legs would allow,
and thut was pretty fast. He pivs-
ented a queer spectacle as lie rushed
along at the rate of ten miles an
hour, with his blue coat tails straight
out behind und an expression of
anguish on his features.”
“Go it, old hoes!" exclaimed a
couple of school boys.
“What have you stolen?" demand
ed another.
“Stop thief!” exclaimed a third,
on suspicion, and straightway a
policeman joined in the chase. But
there was no use in tryi-lg to catch
Z; ke.
At last he got to the railroad, and
there was the train tea rods from
the car shed. Pbebe Jana was
wringing her hands in dismay.
Zeke increased his speed, lie soon
xana/a nst a policeman.
Well, my man, I’ve caught you
last. You couldn't quite fetc :i
What I exclaimed Z Ue, for n mom
ent forgetting 1-is lost Phebo, what
do you mean?
] mean that you have stolen
something, and must go to jail.
Unfortunate Zeke! llis protesta
tion availed nothing. lie was carried
away, but only confined an hour or
two. But it was sugge t d that lie
could telegraph to Pliebe Jane. A-
vailing himself of this, he direoted
her to (Mine right hack,which she did
on Ihe next train. They at once
ntotvided homewards, quite disgust
ed with their liKIDAt,inw*u, which
they had no disposition to extend.
