Our MITE. -tJhas. II. Mitchener.siisq i,
Of New Philadelphia, Ohio, is the demo-
cratic nominee for Congress in Bingham's
district, and Kitchener onght to be elected.
II name of the democratic nominee
brings to our mind memories Of Che past
Mr.. Kitchener was our first boss" When
a rere boy we remember him, and his good,
kind heart. Kindness to a poor boy, a
cub" in a printing Office, is generally en-.
scralled upon the tablets Of his memory,
which reflect upon his mind, until the final
trumpet sounds,
There was a ~famiIyIiving in New Phila-
delphia in 1874, u!on the same street apd
next door to the residence of Mr.. Mltche-
nsr That family were stricken with misfor-
tune, not to many families
that Of the loss of the aid Of the head Of
the housc-hol A mother and five help
less children felt the pangs of want, aud
~prile-they being unused to the position in
which they were then placed-prevented his
mother from making known her situation.
rather preterring to exc out a''pitiless subsis-
tence troui the scanty portion her needle
and industry would bring. Bat feeble
health, and the rack Of mind did not ac-
compIish the end, and many a meal was
was made upon the GHEENS cullcd ircm the
little garden in the rear of the house; now
and then Il peach or two being tossed over
the fence to the little ones by Mr.. Mitche-
ner's wife. God bless her.
The Oldest boy, then at home, sought
work, bnt alas! none wanted so small a boy.
At last his efforts were crowned with sue
cess. They wanted a boy in the Democrat
Office to fly sheets from the tympan of the
Old Ramage press. He had to work but a
few hours a weeE, for which he received a
york shilling" This was something. and
the. boy gazed upon the fruits of his first
earnings as u nlser would upon his ''heaps
of gold" His heart was lighter, for the
boy knew it would buy bread for his moth
er, and with Il velocity of thought ne rush
ed into a grocery then kept under the Dem
ocrat office, and purchased a shilling's worth
of crackers. This made a meal for those at
his home. A few days after, a-dray drove
up at the dooraUf this boy's home loaded
with all the nccessarles Of life. The boy
thought enough for a life time. o! it was
a God send, when the honest drayman in
sisted that tina, they We're to be left there.
We remember how that family upon Bonded
knee, thanked the Giver Of all goods, for
this blessed remembrance. Time wore on
apace, and accidentally the feeble mother
ascertainel that she, hal been the recipient
Ct the favors of Mr.. Chas. II. Kitchener
He had watched the fly boy and HIS shill-
ing and the truth of the situation of the
family flashed upon him; and keeping in
right hand should not know what the left
hand did, graaiously donated to the distress
ed family a dray load of provisions.
The 'tly-boy, after that, became at
tached to him, and be secretly loved his as
a father, Anon, the ''hy-boy' was ms
tailed as an apprentice, and the world seem
cd brighter aI-round. blessings flowed to
his family, bat the kind actions of Mr. NJ,
were indelible stamped upon his heart
AZ the termination OF eighteen months, the
fly boy wished to improve himself in his
business, aud sought to dose in the city Of
Buffalo. His h r In, t C oied him
when he informed Mr.. NJ, OF his intentions
but that gentleman advised lin we'll
warned him Of the bad company and treach-
cry of large city, urging him to deeds Of
noblenes'. His last words were,' "Remem-
Der to be honest, my boy, and the world
will take care of YOU He invited him to
his private room that evening and handed
him a note, saying that it was a letter of
recommendation. The boy with tears in
his eyes thanked him, but If his heart could
have uttered, the words thank you
would have been Insignificant beside the
gratitude he would. have poured out.
The stage arrived; the boy babe farewell
to the village, and has never seen it
since.
Boy like, he desired to know what ''the
boss said in the letter of recommendation.
II was unsealed, and the inscription read
80 all whom it may concern" He
opened it, and besides a good endorsement,
it contained FORTY DOLLARS in money, =
gift ffom that noble and generous heart
Tears of gratitude filled his eyes, and he
regretted leaving so good a man as Chas.
II. Kitchener.
Thank God the ''hy boy has lived to
thank Mr.. Mitcbener for his kind noble acts
toward him and his unfortunate family
The parents are gone, but tho children
some Of them-live and hold prominent
positions in life, gratefully remembering
Chas. Fl. Kitchener. :.
If any of the voters of the Ohio congress
sional district see this little sketch, let them
judge of the man, and compare him with
MIR. Bingham, the aristocrat. The ely
boy" remembers him too, and would like
no better fun than to make a few speeches
in his bingham s. favor. He'd be apt to
loose voters, very likely.
We've noticed ''much" nonsense by tho
opposition Ohio press in regard to Mr..
Mitchener's picture. Mr.. Ohio Demo
crat man, cant you send us one? The fly
boy would very much like to gaze upon the
