DON'T GET DISCOURAGED.
BY MRS. F. D. GAGE.

"Oh. George, don't get discouraged, y
said sweet Carrie Linton, as she stood by
her husbands side, one bright moonlight
summer evening. 81 know the season hss
been hard, and we have had trial upon tri-
al; but we have had many blessings, too. "
81 should like TO know what you call
blessings" said the moody husband, his
head upon his hand, and his chair tilted
back against the log cabin. ....s.
'Here we have been toiing and moiling
for the last year and half, on this bleak,
miserable prairie. not hill in sight, and
the winds sweeping by US ten months in the
year, like tornadoes. Last year l must
have the ague, SO that could not tend my
crops, and this year the spring frost must
kill all my corn, and then the drouth spoil
ed all my wheat" t..
aOh, well, George, these things may new
er happen again" ..-
81 know, that's the way you always rea-
son. So you said last year, that luck
would change, and so kept saying, Don't
get discouraged Ifit hadn't been for you,
I'd have quit last fall, and gone back to
old Oneida" ..4.
sand what would you have done there,
Georger' .,... .-,-'.f. --..-s
"Done darned sight better than I'll ev-
er do here, in this heather country was
the petish and almost profane reply of the
young farmer who had sought home for
himself and his wife on the prairies of Hi
nois, in the year ls-.
Carrie was hurt and tear sprang to her
eve and quicker throb to her heart: but
she knew his mood might be changed, and
she knew too, that were she to speak one
desponding word, he would give up utter
ly, and insist upon returning again to the
haunts of childhood, where his situation
would only be that ofa common laborer.-
So she checked the rising emotion, and
again answered with tone of cheerful en-
couragement and mild reproof. "Oh, don't
speak SO, George. l know we have not
been very successful, but then we are set
ting in new country, and beginning a
new life. We must struggle on and not
give up. After few years, our locust
trees will break the wind, and the loss Of
one planting of corn or wheat, l hope will
not PROSTATE us as it does now."
"But how am / ever to get where | can
help myself? Corn spoiled, wheat blight
ed, and the cow lost in the prairies; the
wolves have killed my sheep, and now my
best cow must die. You may talk of bles-
sings, but don't, and Pm determined to
sell out to the first white man that will
take it. and then quit the country"
"Is not this a blessing?" she asked. Law.
ing a growing baby boy, the very image Of
his father, into his arms. r.
The father smiled family; his heart wa:
really sad. The hardships, trials, and de
privations of a new country were NOR
than he could bear; but with his fain
smile came low acknowledgements
"Yes, Carrie, Dick is a blessing"
"And is not Carrie blessingT she nd
ded, as she left the warm kiss of affection
upon his brow. .--..-.- .,
"Aye, and Carrie is blessing" was hi
response in ightened tone.
"And is not good health blessing2"
ayes, ] suppose so," said he, almos
laughing. ssA se-esasg 4-,s-s-

A Horrible Confession.

John Burns, executed, for the murder
of Mary Ann Montony, an abandoned
woman, confessed the deed, which was one
of the most brutal on record. The parties
were on a hill near Wheeling, with other
degraded persons. The deceased had for
merly been a mistress of Burns The fol-
lowing is his confession:
They were all sitting around in place
and another. 1t had rained some. Invent
off some distance with Mary Montony. She
came back first, believe. When we came
back, several of them were lying down,
around the fire. l was not standing up
when l stabbed her with the knife, as was
testified. / suppose l stabbed her about
thirty times. ! carried my pocket knife
1t was a large sized one. She didn't move
or say word as stabbed her. 1t didn't
appear to hurt her. She didn't try to get
away. Last time hit her against her RIB.
1t made my blood run cold. Myers and /
went to the mill to dry our selves. We
talked the matter o.er there. Myers said
that we would get into scrspe, and that
we had better go back and kill her. He
proposed that we should take a shovel
along. This last refused to do. About
five o'clock Myers and started up the bill.
We found her standing up beside the fire
she seemed 10 be trying to dry her
clothes.
1 commenced talking with her. She
said that she was in misery, and wished
that she could get down to the river so
that she might drown herself. I asked her
if she would ike to get rid of her miseryi
She said she would. Says ], if 1 had q
pistol I'd put her out. When was talk
Ing with her, Myers was sitting down
He spoke up and said / was id fool
for talking with her. Said he, "kill her at
once aud let's 60 down." | still kept on
talking TO her-say about fifteen minutes.
Myers kept on urging me. Said il would
be- too late, and somebody would come
along. / then picked up stone and hit
her. She saw me pick up the stone, and
mt her hands around her head. I stun
ned her that could kill her at one blow
She fell at the fourth throw. ] then took
up heavy sharp-pointed stone. Hit her
twice with it. Didn't say word while
was killing her. Myers was sitting back
laughing, and telling me to hurry.

FREE LOVE INsTITUr1oNs.-These in
stitutions, it is said, are rapidly increasing
in the city of New York. At present
there are two on Thirteen street, one on
Stuyvesant, four on Broadway, one very
large one on Second avenue, one at York
vile under the supervision of Lola Montez,
who indoctrinated the good Barbarians
long ago: one on Leight street; one on Un
ion square, palatial residence-besides a
number of smaller ones. The Stuyvesant
street house has about forty inmates.
We fiud the above in an inocent country
paper. From the accounts given in the
New York papers Of the Five Points and
Mercer street, lis generally presumed that
those localities are most prolific of free-love
domicils.

re- 1t is common 10 say that liaf will
not be believed although he speak the
truth. The converse of this proposition
MS equally true, but more unfortunate-that
man who has gained a reputation forve
racity will not be discredited though he
utter what is false; but he that would
make use of a reputation for veracity to es-
tablish a lie, would set fire to the tenn
pie oftruth with faggot stolen from her
altar.

T A strong verdict was rendered

w A strong verdict was rendered by
a coroner's jury and is now on file in the
clerks office in one of the counties of Iowa.
II is in these words:
"We find the diseased came to his death
by visitation of God, and not by the
hands of violence. We find upon the
body pocket-book, containing So, a check
on Fletcher's Bank for $25, and two horses,
a wagon, and some butter, eggs, and .feath-
ers."
The inquiring mind imagines the size Of
the pocket-book, and the capacity of the
pocket in which the horses were stabbed.

STUMP CANDIDATE FOR CONGRESS-

pains to ascertain how he stands on the
