Now what does this teach you It teaches that
slave labor was ruinous 10 you. That slave labor
was protected by law, while your labor was OPP
pressed without law, and you were nearly starved
upon the soil of your birth. This should stir mu-
tiny in your blood against those laws and lawgiy-
ers who sold you for their own gains, and pocketed
the price Of your sweat and blood both In peace and
war. Vs
Working nsn Your dearest interests sFe at
stake. Remember Che oppreasioEs Of the past-not
in vengeance, bot with a spirit 70 right your
wrongs for the hour approaches when you can
fling the shaekles from your limbs forever Re-
msmber, the Republican party Is your friend and

your children IN your day and generatien,
Labor ia honorable. Those who labor TO Improve

SELECTED STORY.
JCHN MORTON
OR THE
RUNAWAY son.

'John, give me back that book" These
words, spoken in harsh tone by his father,
caused John Morton to start in alright.

With fearful eyes md trembling hands john
passed the book TO his father. who Immediate

"NeS, sir, go and rnish chopping that brush,
and remember, if you quit it again. before it is
all done, Ill give you a whipping"
Mr.. Morton was a small farmer, who lived a
few miles from the village of NJ -, III
Massachusetts. \ man of no literary taste,
himself, he could not endure it in others ;tand
for this reason was an unkind and often unjust
father towards John, his second son, who loved
books better than anything else in the world
John was not q lazy boy, but as a farmer boy
knows no such thing as leisure, he was obliged
to do his reading at such times as he could
steal from his work. when his father was not

but the ddnSe@ at school. ea"I tell you what it
is, john he. would say,ll'I wouldn't give a
snap Of my fingers for oil your book learning
but if you like it, go in, if the old man will

John had been saving his money for some
time, to buy fine edition Of Cooper's works

at auction in ncighboring town, and not
caring much for it, had offered it to him for
half price.
The night before our story commences, John
Fad procured the long coveted treasure, and in
the morning had commenced to read as soon rs
it was light. From this he was soon called by
his father to chop a load of brush he had lust
brought in.
Reluctantly John left the book and went to
the task, but the departure Of his father after
another load was too much for him; he left the
brush heap, and was soon absorbed in his
book.
Mr.. Morton had gone buta short distance,
when he remembered some directions which he
had forgotten to give George, and returned
AS he ncared the house, he missed the sound
of the hatchet. When he entered the house,
there sat John comfortably before the fire,
completely lost in his book. 1t was this that
made him angrily burn the book With a
bursting heart John went to the brush heap
again and commenced his work. He worked
steadily all day, but spoke not a work to any
one.

A poor Irishman applied to ono of the over
sccrs of tho poor for relief, and upon some
doubt bcing expressed as to whether he was a
proper object for parochial relief, he enforced
his suit with much earnestness.
Och, yer honor" said he, ''sure I'd bo
starved long since but for my cat"
"But for whatf" asked tho astonished in
terrogator.
"My cat,". rcjoined the Irishman.
"Your cat how soP"
"Sure, yor honor, I souId her eleven times
for sixpcncc time, and she was always home

l'bed now, and George and will try and make
fsome provision for the future"
T. After the old man had left them, John said
he was rather fatigued, and believed that he
would retire also
"But," said George, "you have not inquired
nsto our, future prospects. Do you not wish
ito know?" "aH ''H '.3i'''' 3~'7'
Ir "No,"' said John, rather shortly, "not to
night; don't feel Interested" And taking
his light, with yawn, he left the room.
George felt hurt CATER ALL" thought he
"hc has changed. He don't seem to care what
becomes Of us. Never mind-poor fellow, no
doubt he has seen hard times, until they have
hardened even his heart"
The next morning found John Morton Gu
gagged in noisy romp with the whole of his
brothers children. Indeed so far did he car
ry it, that he received a cutting rebukc from
his father, for his heartlcssncss.
= III can't help it father" he replied, 'sovery-
thing reminds me so much of childhood, that I
cannot realize that am man."
At twelve o'clock the auctioner appeared, in
company with those who were disposed to bid
for the place. immediately upon their arrival,
John took the auctionccr aside and converscd
with him earnestly for few moments. Soon
after the c.auctioncer mounted upon the steps,
aud said
"Gcntlemcn, have been requested by the
celebrated author, Morton j. Hall, of Boston,
to bid upon this place for him as high as thirty
five hundred dollars. If any of you feel dis
posed to bid higher than that we will proceed
otherwise, there is no need"
AS no one seemed disposed to make any
advance upon that bid, the place was declared
Sold and soon the family was again left alone
"Well," said the old man at dinner "the
! worst is over; and 1 shouldn't wonder if VIC
could hire the place from this Mr.. Hall, who
seems to be a city man."
"Oh, yes said John, II know you can
He don't care anything about farming 1

"Don't say any L ore! p cried George; jump

| The old man cried for JOY.
81 sec now, John" said he, IL did not un
derstand you as a boy. thought books would
be your ruin; but, instead, they have saved
me from want"
"You are right, father" said John, II all

by my pen; while, had stayed by the farm,
