Robert Mcbride, Of the Eldora
Ledger. tells the following renlinis-
cense OF his early youth:
Little Bobby was naturally naugh-
ty. He was protane and devilish at
times. Those ccccntricities always
shone resplendent before company. =
Bobby's ma was a pretty, young wld-
ow. Capt, Gordon was a seaman,
got sweet on the brown>eycd widow,
aud came one evening to tea. She
was exceedingly anxious that Bobby
should behave vel, Land as bride told
the hoy il he would be very good he
might sit next to the Captain and
listen to his sea yarns. Bobby had
two weaknesses; one was TO listen to
the Captains sea tales, the other was
to caress q pet toad he had. So he
swore he'd he a good boy. Tea was
served. and Bobby with his toad
tucked under the end OF his little
shirt--tor his mother would not
trust him with pockets-occupied the
coveted place beside the Captain
The rosy widow looked love at the
Captain as she passed him a very
large cup OF scalding tea Bobby
was doing nobly. All at once the
boy became uneasy. Then he rolled
his eyes, wriggled and squirmed, and
was very unhappy. At last he
thrust his hand beneath his little
white shi,t, and by his hind legs
jerked out his old playlellow, the pet
toad, and doushed him into the Cap
tain's hot tea exclalming: "There!
you gol durned, doddrabbct bull
frog. Ill learn you TO tickle little
Bohby's belly when he's tryin' to be
a good boy!' The tea was not so
pleasant after that.

! A.N
4 Whic, wish to remark
And my language is plain
That for ways that are dark
And for tricks that are vain.
The hea,heu Chinee is peculiar,
Which the same would rise to explain
All Sin was his name;
And | shall not deny
In regard to the same
What that name might imply,
Bat his smile it was pensivc aad e.lilil;ke
As frequent remarked to Bill Nye.
It was August the third;
And quite soft was the skies;
Which it ight be inferred
That All Sin was likewise;
Ye. he played it that day upon William
And me in way despise;
Which We had a small game,
And All Sin took a hand;
It was Euchre. The same
lie did not understands;
But he s-liled rs he sat by the table,
With a smile that was child like and bland.
Yet the cards they were stocked
In a way tha. | grieve,
And my feelings were shocked
AT the state Of Nye's sleeve;
Which was stuffed full of aces and bowers,
And the same with intent to deceive.
But the hands that were played
BY that hea'hen Chinee;
s.n the points that he made
We're quite frighful to see
Till at last he put down right bower,
Which the same Nye had dealt unto M,
Tlen looked up at Nye.
And he gazed upon me;
And he rose with sigh,
Aud said, .scan this be?
We are ruined by Chinese cheap labor
And he went for that heather Chihce.
In the scene that en- uel
did not take hand,
But the floor it was strewcl
Like the leaves on the strand
With the cards that All Sin had been hidirC
In the game 'she did not understand
In his sleeves, which we're long,
lie had twenty-four jacks
Which was coming it strong.
Yet state but the facts
And we found on his nails, which was taper,
What is frequent in tapers-thats wax.
Which is why remark,
And my language is plain,
That for ways that are dark.
And for tricks that are vain,
The heathen Chinee is peculiar
Which the same am free 10 maintain.

A LIVELY time has been inaugural
ed in Chicago by little girl meeting
DsL. Moody, President OF the Young
Mems Christian Association, on the
street, and asking him to buy tick
ct to a dance to be held at Farwell
Hall place of meeting of the
Young Mems Christian Association.
1t appears that the hail had been
rented tor the holding of fair for
the benefit of the orphans of Chica-
go, and the lady managers had ar
ranged that the fair should close
with dance. This fact came to the
knowledge of brother Moody when
he was solicited to purchase ticket
that would ensitle him to chance to
trip the '.light fantastic toe" His
soul was in arms at once. lie called
upon the managers and protested
againet the preparation Of This fear
ful iniquity. The fair managers in
formed him in the b'andcst manner
possible that the evenings entertain
ment should be conducted in such
manner as to them should seem fit.
Moody then called together the di-
rectors Of the hall, and laid before
them the sad facts in the case. The
directors empowered him to act rs
the exigencics of the occasion might
demand. Moody called upon law
yer to serve an injunction upon the
wicked women; but discovered that
the ungodly legislature Of Illinois
had failed to frame statute against
that most shocking Of abominations
the dance. Whcreupon he for
warded note to the fair managers,
giving them iair warning that the in
slant dancing commenced in that
hall the gas would be turned Oft, and
they would be left to pursue their
sinful practices In utter darkness.
The ladies were inwardly thankful
for this-not for the darkness, but
for the warning-and came prepared
with candles enough to illuminate
a block. The first set was formed.
The gas was turned off, Darkness
rcigned. Every gentleman clung to
his partner for fear Of losing Grand
every lady clung to her partner-for
fear Of getting lost. Not sound
was heard-save by and by the
scratching Of match. Then = can.
die was lighted. Then y score Of
Others. Then the fddlers tuned
their instruments. Then the sacri-
li.ious cry, First pair right ana
left,s resounded through the hall.
And thus it was that the Young
Mea's Christian Association hall OF
Chicago Was dcsecrated by dance,
and brother Moody rendered unhap
py forcvcr-a prey to poignant grief
that he should live to see, by candles
dimly burning, vast concourse of
people ''capering nimbly" to delicious
strains of music in hall he had
fondly hoped was ever safe from such
pollution!

When you meet with onesuspected
or some secret deed of shame,
And for this by all rejected
As thing Of evil fame,
Guard thine every look and action,
Speak no word Of heartless blame,
For the slanderer's vile detract:on
Yet may soil thy gsodly name.
When you meet with one pursuing
Ways the lost have wandered in,
Worl ing out his own undoing
With his recklsssz ess aAd sin,
Think, if placed in his condition,
Would kind word be in vain?
Or look Of cold suspicion
Win nee back t, truth again?
There are spots that bear no flowers,
Not because the soil is bad,
Bat the summers genial showers
Never make their bosoms glad,
Better have an act that's kinlly
Treated Sometimes with disdain,
Than by judging others blindly,
Doom the innocent to pain.

THURSDAY, JANUARY l2, 1871.

Aaron Burr was born in Fair
field, Conn, in 17l5, graduated at
Yale College, in 1885, was licensed
to preached in 1886, was appointed
President Of New Jersey College in
l74S, married daughter Of Jonothan
Edwards, and died in 1857. Perhaps
it is unnecessary to add that this was
not the Aaron Burr who was once
Vice President OF the United States
and who murdered Alexander Ham
ilton.

other reasons exist, should defeat
him. He has no right to neglect his
duty lat least his sea,,) at Washing

General Prim, Tho has been the

attacked in the .treets 0! Madrid by

His wounds are not considered scri-

istaction of the country in his man
agement OF affairs, he has resigned
his office OF Minister of Foreign AZ
fairs and OF War. and will return to
private lite,-so it is reported.
Prim has since died OF his wounds.
The question of locality, in the
selection of officers, if worth any
thing, should apply to names as

the three commissioners to codify
the Iowa Laws had been appointed
from any one place, say Marshall

the Governor evaded the force o. he
objection to locality by making The
three commissioners out Of Williams?
Is to possible there is no person in the
State whose first name is not Will

the Laws? The Governor had best
look out or he will have some John
or Peter after him with a sharp
stick.
