THE TWO BROTHERS; AND WHAT
: ECHO SAID TO THEM.

Once on time, two little boys,
And naughty ones you'll say,
.. Resolved before tliey'dgo to school,
That they would 60 and play.
The spot they choose to liuger at,
Aud seat themselves to chat,
Re-cchocd, or sent bnck the voice.
But they did not know that.
Said William to his brother Dick,
ave shall not be found out"
Bat Echo Knocked the naughty boy,
And answered, "Be found out"
II fenr," said Dick to little Will,
"That somo one ovrrhears ;"
lie looked to see, and Echo then
Cried, '..Somc one orcrhcars"
"Oh! mover mind" said William, then,
"Come do not be afrai1"
So when they both began to play,
Said Eeho-"Be ajraiL"
"What can it bci' said William.
"Oh. let us US go to school,"
For he began TO be afraid;
Said Echo-"Go to school.
Then, softly whispering, they said.
"Oh. If our master knows;
But Echo. answering every word,
Said, softly-"Jlnstcr knous."
"Whnt sllnll We do 7" then Wil!ium saiI,
1--WE must not tell lie"
And then they heard Echo's voice
Say-"NuSt not tell iic."
So Dick began to cry, and raid,
WILLIAM, you brought mo here -
Said Echo, i'll mournful tone,
"IIIllia", you brought me hsre."
Il never will DO this again.
If master will forgive"
Said Will to Dick and then the voice
Said-"-Naster wiU. forgive"
"Then let us CO." said little Will;
"Conie, Dicky, do not cry"
And in the same tone Echo saiI-
Come, Diehy, do not e.'T"
I'VE shall moi he go very lute,
If we make haste away"
And Echo, with n warning voice,
Cried out-"Muke haste duny"
Then Dicky dried his tears, and said,
Il will j" 50 no more;
And Echo, in a chec:ful voice.
Then said-"Do SO no more"
''Then We'll be Off to school," 81 id they:
And on they quickly ran;
Aud. happily were just in time,
Before the school began.
Remember, then. my little fricndl,
Though Echo nothing knew.
There's One above who always kusws,
Both whit you s"y aud DO.

of our young mon, possessed of noble

country. They huntel and they

The transition was terrible, but it has
passed away forever. Whatever we

now that it is gone, wo would not de-
sire to see it restored, even if it were

Under tho present system, every

COURT HOUSE AT WINFIELD
BURNED BY the arrival of Mr..
j. NJ. Mccain, Clerk of the Dis
trict Court in Winn Parish, we
learn that on the night of the 18th

the Court House of that Parish
was consumed by fire, together
with all the records of tho Sherf3s,

TreaSurers Offices.
When the citizens of the town
first discovered the fire the build
ing was in a full blaze of light, the
fire issuing from the roof in sew,
eral places, and the heat so great
as to prevent them from entering
the building to save anything
from it. The citizens are satisfied
that it is the worl1sof an incendia-
ry, as the flames issued simulta.
neouSly from several parts of the
building when first discovered.
This is a great and irreparable
loss to the parish of Winn, and
it is sincerely to be hoped that
the perpetrators Of the diabOlical
act may be brought to summary
punishment. The object of the
incendiary is supposed to have
been the destruction of records in
which he had q private interest
