Thursday he returned, wishing to purchase
pair of pants. which being offered him

cured his arrest. The young man declared
that he had given them good SO bill, ON

examination, each had approved, and that
he never owned the bill in court, also that
they told him there was 10 per cent dis

antecedents were examined and found un-
exceptionable. his appearance CO contradicted
the charge against him. the circumstances
that he freely returned soon after the

his favor. After cautious scrutiny of the
case. his honor very properly dismissed it.

Last May as We lay upon bed of sickness
in our Illinois home, slittie Jimmy was brought
to the bedside, and we gazed upon him as
lovely flower. Health bloomed on the soft
cheek of the laughing, innocent babe, and it
promised fair to smile at the return of many
springs.
| We we're restored to health and again saw
| him, farther West playing with the wild flowers
of the prairie in his Kansas home. But in a
| few month with them he withered, and now he
sleeps where they bloomed.
Thus We sec our cherished hopes blasted, and
our dearest objects perish, till our hearts are
chilled, and We are weary Of earth and long
for that better world where all is happiness.-
But we will not mnrmur, for God & doeth ali
| things we'll"
Slowly, sadly we saw JIMMY fade,
And prayed the angel of death be stayed!
But he was needed in that fairy land,
Towatch and guide its happiness white robed
band. - ...5-.5. ,,fzt
Sweetly his hands were folded on his breast
AS the wings of weared dove at rest;
Knd !leistfi " f,tss casIc we wrpt
AS we laid him where the wild flowersislept.
Oh! it was hard for us to say, s' 'farewell,''
But the hearts arguish-moTHEs alone can
telli 80
Well grieve not! for he is an angel on high
With his sister smiling in the starry sky.
Bereaved parent murmnr not, God is just,
| In kindness returned your lovely babe to dust
Though severe the warning he has given,
- is to lead you and yours to heaven.
