THE PUBLrC DOMAN

The National Capitol is now bursting
with bills granting public lands to private
corporations, in tracts of from one to fifty
millions of acres, to build railroads, to run
steamships, to lay cables, to construct har-
bo1s, 10 furnish water to cities, and, gener-
ally, to do anything not otherwise provided
for. From the earliest days, the public
lands were regarded as the property Of the
nation, to be held for the common benefit
Of all, and as d heritage for those who would
subdue and cultivate them. The govern
ment, representing the people, occupied the
position of large landed proprietor. The
public land was surveyed in al the organ
lied States and offered for sale, OF at phi
vate entry, Mt SLa5 per acre. In 1850 there
we're several millions of acres of land in L.
Gnois which had been in market without
purchasers over. thirty years, and Congress
adopted the policy Of opening these
to settlement by a donation of
small portion to the State, to be
used IN building 3 railroad on a pre-
scribed line, the government advancing the
price oothe remainder, so that the reve-
nus from the whole {should be unimpajred
The result Was that the government got rid
of these hitherto unsalable lands at par.
In time, the same policy was extended to
Iowa, Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota,
the government IN every case, receiving the |
statutory value Of the land Then follow
ed the policy of giving land to actual |
Settlers Hee'ef cost, thereby encouraging
other settlements and bringing the whole
under cultivation and. production Here |
the land-grantiug system ought to have
stopped. With free land to MI who would /
take it for purposes Of cultivation, the gov
ernment offered all the Inducements which
d healthy and prosperous extension of set
t1ement required. But this was not enough,
The policy of creating a mnrlet for lands
actually surveyed and offered to SETTLERS a
time without being taken, was
changed, and new policyf-thst of forcing
n sspite Of enrgraton- n-was
adopted. Beyond the organized States and

Of his face indicrously alternating

In the meantime Bellefield Eas
found behind the counter, with the
money on him. He had, of course
intended to secrete in, ana TO make
oath that he had handed it over to
the son in charge for the father.
The sudden springing of the mine,
however had disconnected all his
plans. The unhappy young man
had over calculated the strength of
his nervous system, which was as
easily shattered as a spiders web
Taxed with not ony finding The pock-
ct book, but with removing there
from its contents, and with endeav-
oring to fasten suspicion on another
his white, quivering lips refused to
utter the lying statement he bad SO
carefully arranged. Old Massett's
fierce face and rough hand were too
much for him. He gave in with
little shrek, like the death cry of a
wounded hare: and was carried to
the lookup between two strong
men, doubled up in an unrecogniza-
bic heap In what way a revolution
was effected in Stephen Massett's
ideas, / cannot say, but revolution
there was from that day. He took
a violent fancy to Kate Hines, per-
haps because she had saved his
family from the only shame he could
blush at, and the day after Belle
fields trial backed his sons suit
with one of the finest farms in Wis
consin, and twenty thousand dollars
down. "- b. .r
That change should be perceiv-
ell thencefor.h in Johns manner
will not be thought strange. He
lost all his sullenness, and much of
his reserve he became quite gra-
cious, and brimful of happy self
confidence All it was q fortunate
day that gave him ever so small a
glimpse of his own value-that
provid him. in the eyes of Kate
Hines, at least, a hero and a gentle

CHAPTER III.

Old Massett entered the cottage
grimlv defiant of public opinione
and ready to take up the frs,
gage that was thrown down. Tit
farme.s whom Kitty had brought
in gradually dispersed and the yard
was deserted.
As John stood wiping his face
at the window of the steble, he
saw Bellefeld coming down the
pteps, stop as if he had caught
sight of something singular on the
ground, walk forward PAGES,
stoop hurriedly down, and pick
up old Massett's pocketbook con
tanning the price of Tinsley's lot,
nsinus Johns wages.
Now, our hero, although he had
placed himself in the breach to save
the clerk from beating, de>i'ed,
above all things, to avoid him
thenceforth, not that he nourished
ill-feeling toward him, but he could
not bear to look on the happiness
lie supposed him to possess; further
moeA, John had no wish to see his
| parent again, before shaking the
dust of Shankville from his boots
i so it came about that he did not
speak of the pocket-book when
Bellefield entered the stable. He
supposed, poor, simple fellow that
Herbert, kGowing whose it was,
would return it as soon as possible
and even the fact that his rival never
spoke of it, failed to strike, him as
singular.
.'I'm very sorry that / should
have been the cause of this, Mr..
Massett," said the clerk, with what
he thought suitable expression oil
countenancc.

"Indeed, well / regret that i;

! Young Massett muttered an OBJ
Ijection, but Herbert caught up o
wisp of straw, and commenced
brushing him down, whistling the
while, in defiance of it and it was
not until John turned round, hall
angrily, that he desisted.

Similar remark A novel lately
published illustrates the saying,
whoever originated it. 1t is called
by variety of names, and is fami-
liar to every novel reader.
Their principal speeches are as
follows:
He Adorable creature will

inducements for accepting the same,

first class securities"
.Sie-"Ohject of my affections I.

These are plagiarisms more or
less direct from the sane old story,
published at any time during the
worlds history between this and the
invention of letters, which is not
due to Professor Cadmus, by the
by. but to Aam-Ah- Kimbo, twenty
thousand years before mis- time. He
published the FIRST edition of the
story in China, even then venera-
/ BILE tradition. .-r...
In the edition of 1,500 it appears
as follows: r.. .-.
He-"'Sweet lady! prithee re-
ward with thy love thy lover true,
who pledges thee his hand and heart.
Certes | offer thee no unequal dow

broad domains shall call thee mis-
tress, and gold shall fill thy Golfers" "
.She-"My bosom's lord, thy no
bleness is well deserving my poor
love, and well / trow will win my
sire's consent. Good faith, in heav-
cn's name, seek him" (Lets down
her back hair and swoons.
Similarly in A. ID. 1000, they
cour;ed thus:
Hee-"Fayre ladye. bend thyme
eye on thy true knight and reward
his dtvoir with thy love. By'r la
dye! he layes at thy feete guerdon

And in like manner through the
early Saxon and ancient British dia-
lects which would be more intelli
gible than lovers speeches generally
are, the Latin and Greek, up to the
original Chinese as Aforesaid.
The Irish version is:
