You, go. papa. Why can'tI. too q? Do
let me go,''
For moment the heart of the inebriate
seemed to wake from it's sleep, and he took
the child tenderly in his arms and kissed
him as of old then putting him down, he
saiu in kind tone
''YOu must not ask me again to take
you there. It is no place for little boys"
and seizing his hat. he hurried from the
room, murmuring to himself as he paced
the way to the brilliant bar room, land no
place tor men either. Would to God 1
had never gone %
For long time Willie stood where his
few embers which family glowed upon the
hearth, and sat down 10 his little chair, and
resting his head upon his mothers lap,
said earnestly:
Mamma. why isn't that pretty store a
good place for little boys? Papa loves to
go there"
1t was a hard question for the poor heart
broken woman. She had so far kept from
her son the knowledge of his sin. She
could not bear tha. he should look with
shame upon him, or that his gentle and
pure heart should thus commune with so
intense a grief. Kindly she toyed with
his long ringlets for while, then said en-
dearingly:
G.PaDo kpovo bottar than Won vubot ;S
best for his little boy; when you are older
you will learn why he does not wish to take
you."
Then rising, she carefully put her baby
down upon its little bed and put on her
hood and cloak.
Mind the cradle now, Willie I'll be
back soon, and then you shall have some
supper, and a nice fire to cit by too.'' and
taking large basket of ironed clothes, she
went out.
A wealthy mother would have bee n
scared to death at the idea of leaving so
small boy at nightfall, all alone witk>. an
infant to care for, and an open fire to sit
beside. But poor Mrs. M. knew we'll she
could trust Willie with his sister, and as
for burning up, there were not Goals enough
to thaw his blue stiff fingers. No, she did
not fear to go and leave him. for he had thus
been left many time, and always carefully
obeyed her.
And he meant to now but poor little
fellow, his thoughts would wander to that

liked, for ne never came home till long af-
ter Willie was asleep. What lay behind
those scarlet curtains was a mystery be
sought in vain to unravel.
At length he whispered eagerly as if tc

HYenaS.

There are man-eaters among the South
African hyenas, and these hominivorous
animals are greatly dreaded on account of
the exceeding stealthiness and craft with
which they achieve their object. They
very seldom endeavor to destroy the adult
the young and defenceless children. On
dark nights the hyena is greatly to be fear
ed, for he can be guided to his prey by the
nocturnal fires, which do not daunt an an
imal that is possessed by this fearful spirit
of desructiVeness, and at the same time
can make his cautious approach unseen
As the family are lying at night buried in
sleep, the hyena prowls around the enclc-
sure, and finding a weak spot the animal
pushes aside the waffle bands of which
the fence is made, and quietly creeps
through the breach. Between the human
Inhabitants and the fence the cattle are pick
eted by night. and would form an easy
prey for the hyena if he chose TO attack
them. But he slips cautiously amid the
sleeping beasts. and makes his way to where

The great want of this age is men. Men
who are not for sale. Men who are honest,
sound from centre to circumference, true

wrong in friend or foe, in themselves as

are as steady as the needle to the pole. Men
who will stand for the right if the heavens

The Journal favors the issuing Of
bonds by Richardson County, 70 aid
in the construction Of the Trunk and
Nemaha Valley railroads through
that county. In our opinion, the
county would be the gamer by giving
100000, and thereby complete the
two roads rather than do without
them. Nemaha County, by her fndif-
ference and persistent opposition, is
bound to sink into q third or fourth
rate county. Itpains as to think that
this is the case, and much more to
publish Il; but facts, however un-
pleasant, may as well be confessed,
when they are too apparent to be lon
ger concealed. If we are too Grimm
ally Indifferent 70 avail ourselves OF
the advantages Of our position, then
the next best thing for US 10 do is to

terprising than we with as good grace
as beings Who arc but mortal may.

We see Gen. Thayer is one of the
champions for the repeal Of the Tenure
Of Office Act. He declares that "he
would not now vote upon an honest
President the manacIes he had helped
to forge for a dishonest one.D We
doubt the propriety Of It's repeal and
could barely be brought to vote for its
suspension for any indefinite length Of
time. If the law is good, as it mn
doubtedly is, to compel an unscrupu-
lOus man to do right It cannot chafe
the sensibilities Of one honestly dis
posed. Our criminal code is enacted
to prevent and punish wrong doing,
still every well disposed man does not
seek its sbrogatiOn. These checks up
on the wickedly inclined do not man
acIe the good and virtuous, and none
but those who are seeking an oppor-
tunity to do wrong need chafe under
there operations. We hope the law
may not be repealed, and only sus-
pended by virtue Of an imperative
necessity.
