A Young Hero.

In the Madison (Ind.) Daily Argus.
Dec. l, we find the following account of
the martyrLom Of an American boy-a
youth Of whom our nation may be proud
who died because he would not tell a
lie. The editor states that the facts in
the case were established by judicial in :
vestigation, and were related to him by
Judge Larrabee, who presided at the trI
al.
A beautiful. fair haired, blue-eyed boy,
about nine years of age, was taken from
the Orphan Asylum in Milwaukee, and
adopted by respectable farmer of Mar
Quette. a professor of religion, and a
member of the Baptist PcrsuatOn. A
girl! little older than the boy, was alsu
adopted into the same family. Soon af-
ter these children were installed into their
new home, the boy discovered criminal
conduct on the part Of his new mother,
which he mentioned to the little girl, and
it thereby came to the ears of the woman
she Indignantly denied the story to the
satisfaction of her husband, and insisted
that the boy should be whipped until he
confessed the falsehoud. The man
poor, weak bigot--impelled by a sense OF
reli 5ious duty, proceeded to the task as
signed him, by procuring bundle oi
rods, stripping the child naked and sus-
pending him by cord to the ratters OF
the house, and whipped him at intervals
for over Two hours. till the blood ran
through the floor, making a poo! upon
the floor below stopping onI to rest and
intcrroyate the boy, and getting no other
reply than PA, [ told the truth can,
not tell IL lie - the woman all the time
urging him to do his duty" The pool
little hero at length released from his tor.
ture, threw his arms around the neck Of
his tormcntor, kissed him and said, "Pa,
am so cold" and died. 1t appeared in
evidence, upon the trial of this man and
woman for murder, that the child did tel
the truth, and suffered death by slow
torture, rather than tell a lie. The age
Of heroism and martyrdom will not have
passed till mothers cease to instil holy
precepts into the minds of their infant off
spring. The man and woman who muir.
dcred this angel child are now in the pc
nitentiary AT Waupun, to which they were
sentenced for ten years.

BY RACHAEL HARTER. s -s=
Will you ever think of me, my friend
OF the vows SO often breathed
And the bond we thought could never rend
When our hands the fetters wreathed ?
We neer shall mingIe our songs again,
Or meet in the haunts of gIee; [chuin
When you count the links of friendships
Will you think ofme
Will you think of me when the early ray
Is cleaning aslant the fields,
And the heart is glad and the earth is gay
With the music that nature Yields
When the mornings PearIy fingers twino
Fresh flowers for her altar free;
And you bow at the dew besprangled shrine.
Will you ever think of me
Or, when You wander alone my friend
Where the twilight shadows throug,
And the fairy tones of the woodlands blend
With the night winds !nurmuring song.
When the moonbeam bends O'er the water
Her enchanted smile to see; breach,
And you kiss the folded flowers at rest,
Will you ever think oC me
When the eager echoes gaily start
AtPeusures bewitching call,
A I'D the words thatspeak the flatterers part,
On tine cars in music fall.
Orwhcu thcS have ,:.rOYed as false and fair
AS the VOW of the lips eau hes .
And left thee wounded heart TO bear,
Viii you ever think of me ?
