II was aSummer evening
Old Kasper's work was done,
And he before his cottage door
Was sitting in the sun:
And by him sp0rted on the green
His little grandchild Wllhelminc.
She saw her brother Peterlxin
Roll something large and round,
Which he beside the rivulet
IL playing there had found;
lie came to ask what he had found
That was SO large, and smooth and round.
Old Kasper took 1t from the boy,
Who stood expectant by;
And with natural sigh
And then the old man shook his head,

For theirs many hereabout;
And often when go TO plough,
The ploughshare turns them out;
For many thousand men," said he,

Young Peterkin he cries;
And little Wilhelminc looks up
With wonder waiting eyes
Now tell us all about the war,
And what they killed ench other for"
cit was the English Kasper cried
"Who put the French TO rout;
But what they killed each other for,
could not well make out;
But every body said," quoth he,
"That twas famous victory.
MY father lived at Blenheim then,
That little stream hard by;
They burned his dwelling to the ground
And he was forced to tiyi
SO with his wife and child he fled,
Nor had he where TO rest his head.
"With fire and sword the country round,
Was wasted far and wide;
And many child and mother therc

has doubtless occurred to many persons
within the past few weeks, who will be glad
to see 1t repeated. The future KNsper, how
ever, will be able to tell what the great war
of 1870 was about, when he recalls the wasted
country by tho many thousand bodies that
lay rOttlng in the sun after the great victory.
The little Peterkin of that periord will learn
that 1t was because the Prussian King spoke

Importance ola Public Libra


To the Editors Of the Dallas Herald;
The idea has occurred TO my mind
that this would be y propitious soa-
SON to again urge the Importance of
comlntncins, OF! small Bt&lc; the
founding Of Publ, Library III this
inchoatc city. -
will state briefly one plan We
will first make it a joint stock con,
Germ, each share be worth, say, two
dollars and half in specie. This
of itself will cntitlc each stock hold
err to participate in the management
and government. Of the institution /;
as soon as we get forty subscribers,
we will proceed to elect IL President,
Board of Directory, Secretary and
librarian. Wo will next rent a
suitable room for temporary purpo.
scs, next we will solicit a subscrip-
ton of second. lland books. They
will each be appraised, by the Board,
and every two dollars and n halls
worth Of books will constitute Il
share. Tho Librarian will be au-
thorized to let members take out
for the space Of one month, books
to an amount equal to rs per cont.
of tho stock subscribed. After we
become organized, we can then build
q Library room, and so on and in
crease the Library just as wc can.
I think this is the shortest. way to
ret the thing on foot, and | believe
once on foot, it will become per
manent institution, and may lead to
the building of a City Hall. Then
if we have nico comfortable room,
and some good lecturers, it will have
quite salutary influence in divert
ing the attention otyoung men from
liquor saloons and other novels Of
vico. 1t will tend much to tho
amclioration of our community, and
add abundantly to the character OF
our city, both at home and abroad,
especially in an educational point OF
view. The library room will be
our resort to while away tho even
ing hours to profit and advantage
1t will be the place to interchange
views upon scientific topics, anu
thereby crown our intellectual store
house with useful knowledge. This
done it will certainly have an in.
flucnce upon neighborhooos and
ncighboring towns TO follow our OK
ample, and this done we will have
less use for jails and penitcntiarios
II We become "learncd and virtuous
we will be happy" 1t is said that
"knowletge is power, and that an
enlightened and virtuous people
can never BIO cnslaved." Tlren lei
us try the experiment, thereis moth
ing needs more constantcu1ture than
the mind, and nothing needs our
more special attention than The
"rcaring of the tender plants" and
in "learning the young idea how TO
shoot" Dollars and cents spent BY
us in this direction, like the bread
cast upon the watcrs" will surely
come back to US. Who is it that
would not like 10 educate bis son o.
daugter in place where they would
be accessible to a good Library
Indeed there is nothing Of 90 small
a cost, that would yield SO great .
dividend
