THU REASON.

“Mr. Desker,” remarked the head of the firm of Grahhius and Co., “just raise young Wilkins a couple of .shillings week. I happened to go into tho ■clerks’ room when there was a. circus procession passing the office, with two hands playing, and lie was the only man in the place who sat .steadily at his work. Every other man In the place rii-hed to Hie window.”

Accordingly on Hie next pay-day AAhTkins was advanced his florin, and a few kindly wordi-i from Mr. Desker revealed tiie source of its origin.

“Bands!” reiterated Hie youth “■Music! AATiat, did a hand go by?”

“Of course it did. Didn’t you hoar the music and Hie cheering?” “No,” said AVilkin.s regret fully, “I’m blest, if I did. That, cold I had a week or Iwo ago lias left me as deaf as a pert.”

Tho only time some people got busy is when they meddle with things that don't oorcern them.
