Judge Douglas ably and warmly supported

THE LITTLE GRAVE

ssIt's only little gr ,ve," they said,
s.Only just a child that's dead"
And so they carelessly turned away
From the mtund the spade had made that day.
All, they did not know how deepa shade
That little grave in our home had made.
1 know the coffin was narrow and small,
One yard would have served for an ample pail;
One man in his arms could have borne away
The rosebud and its freight of clay,
But know that darling hopes were hid
Beneath that little coffin lid.
I know that a mother stood that day
With folded hands by that form of clay;
I know that burning tears were hid.
Meath the dropping lash and aching lid"
And know her lip. and cheek and brow,
We're almost as white as her baby's now.
know that some things were hid away,
The crimson frock, and wrsppings gay;
The little sock and the half worn shoe,-
The cap. with its plumes and tassels blue;
And an empty crib with its covers spread,
As white as the face of the sinless dead.
IT'S a little grave. but, oh, bewarei
For world wide hopes are buried there,
And ye, perhaps, in coming years,
May see, like her, through binding tears,
How much of light. how much of joy,
Is buried up with an only boy.

A RoBrER FRIGHTENED BY DREAMER.
On Saturday, a midnight robber went to a
blacksmith's shop, at Rochester, Mass, and
stole two crowbars and bit, and with them
attempted to force an entrance into Mr.. Wis
wells tailor's store. He had succeeded in
forcing the door, when the servant girl in the
house opposite dreamed that burglars were
breaking in the houss, and gave a loud scream,
which woke up the people in the house, and
their mo vefnents frightened the burglar at the
store SO that he fed. This is the second or
third time that an attempt has been made upon
the same store.

top. Not the officers, still less The Generals
but the privstes have every soldierly quality.
The Turk is strong, he is docile, he is sober,
he is intelligent, he has contempt for life which
is both fatalistic and fanatic, and can live on
nothing. When their military organization
was at its best, two centuries ago, no European
armies could stand against them. But their
officers are detestable, ignorant, cohceited, idle
and corrupt. The very best people Iknow are

worst people that know are Turks in Office.
Power is gained and preserved there by bribery,
treachery and extortion. Every man in au-

WoMAN'b DEvoT1oN-A STRANGE ScENE,
Ten years ago two young. men in Mentor.
Lake county, got into an afray while under the
influence of liquor. A. stabbed B. with
knife The wound was dangerous one and
for several weeks the merest thread bound B.
to earth. A. was arrested, tried and sentenced
to the Penitentiary at Columbus for ten years.
B. recovered in the course of time and made
every effort to secure AS pardon, but was un-
successful. The young men had been warm
friends up to the night of the afray. They
were farmers and near neighbors and both were
married. This morning when A. arrived he
found awaiting him at the depot, his wife, who,
through all the dreary years of his ignomini-
Gus absence, had been true as steel, and B.
and his wife. A. had not seen his wife since
he received his sentence. Their meeting was
affecting in the extreme. Our informant, who
knows the parties well, says he never saw SO
touching scene and may never expect to see
its like again. The twofarmers met each other
with great cordiality and resolved that the de-
mon drink should never again cause them mis-

Gbe family Cirfle,
COUNTRY Us.

COUNTRY LADS often feel that their lot is a.
hard one; they see city bred youngsters, on
their travels and their sprees, at the age of
fourteen veritable young gentleman, with a
finished exterior, cigar and cane.
The young farmer, at the same age, finds
himself with hoe in his hand, and cheap
straw hat on his head, sweating among the rows
of corn. He is frequently envious of his city
brotherl whisking past him in the cars, with
kid gloves, delicate rinSlets and plentyof mon
ey in his pockets.
Mind your corn, boy-hoe it out clean; keep
stead ly to the labor you have in hand, do it
well, and in time your good days will come, too.
If you find farming is not suited to your taste,
or your strength, or your circumstances, if you
like mechanism better or have capacity for
business, whatever eventually you may engage
in it is all the same, you have begun right
The city blades have begun Oroug; and in due
time you will see it. Their fathers and moth
ers will see it, too.
Do not feel envious of the Measures that a
hot house man enjoys; but remember, not in
malicious manner, but sober spirit, that such
plants wither early. By the time you have
acquired fixed habits of industry, and acquir-
ed corresponding perfection of mind and
body, your Gelicately reared cotemporary of
the town begins to feel the debiitating effects
of idleness and of dissipation. He is not alone
to blame for weak body and pro6tless mind /;
it is the result of system but he Cannot es-
cape from its effects-these he must endure for
himself, in his own person. His father may
be professional man, or a merchant, or may
be merely rich the chances are fifty against
one that the sor will not replace his father.
Such is the result of well settled experience
business falls into the hands of those who are
most competent, it does not descend to heirs.
1t is the country boys, after all, who do the
city business, Observing men have often stated
this fact sn.a any one who will take direc-
tory, and inquire into the origin of the busi-
ness men in Cleveland, or Boston, or New York,
will find it to be so. All external circurnstan-
ces are in favor of the son the clerk succeed
ing to the trade. the old firm; but the son
seldom, almost never, dies il the position of a
! partner of the house. Why is it Simply be-
cause habituala 6dustry is wanting, and habitual
indulgence is not wanting With all the ex-
ternal odds against it the country furnishes the
cities their principal business men.
If intelligent, faithful, and persevering, and
above all, cheerful and contented, the chances
are that the lad with the hoe will eventually
do the business of the father of the lad in
gloves, who is now luxuriating in his travels
