Ned, do YOU think Letitia was very fond

But this is very different from the spu-
rious thing, the incipient love of admira-
ton, which transforms the shy, sweet,
shamefaced pair of child-lovers into a couple
of halfgrown firts.
Whatever goes out of fashion, let US get
the little girls back again. Let them romp.
let them be somewhat rude and boisterous );
it will wear off SOON enough under the at
tribution of later years; let them play out
doors with their brothers. let the age Of
pinafores and roundabouts come back. A
healthy, happy truthful, obedient child,
may sometimes sit at the foot of the class,
may sometimes offend the conventionalists,
but, brought up in the fear of God, and in
the love of Christ, with plenty of earnest,
thoughtful, unselfsh household love it is
on the way to that most glorious thing
thoroughly Christian man or womanhood.

\ MOCKING-BIRD AND A SNvKE.-A
correspondent, Bruce, relates the follow
ing incident, which occurred on his place &:
One beautiful Sunday morning, in early
spring of last year, while walking with my
little daughter in a field near our house,
we observed butcher-bird flying to and
fro amongst the bushes near spring of
water, and evidently in great fear. Alter
watching its motion for some time, we con-
cluded to 90 up nearer, and see what was
the cause of all its troubles. We had hardly
reached the spot, when moeking-bird
swooped down as quick as a fash, and
struck large spreading adder, which was
on the ground near the bushes, and which
no doubt, would soon have had the butch
er bird in its fangs. Again and again
did this game bird light on the snakes
back, and strike deep into it with its beak.
The battle was a long one and thinking it
might be lost to the bird, [ sent my little
daughter for the hoe, and quickly dispatch
ed the reptile. 1t will attack any bird that
flies. Often have [ seen 1t sally out
against the hawk, and make that chicken
stealer leave the vicinity very fast. Let
a mocking bird build near your house, and
your chickens have a good protector. 1t
will disperse an army Of crows, and should
your dog 90 near its nest, he is pounced
upon and ordered to leave They are not
afraid of man, and seem to know that he
will not harm them. A pair of these birds
build every year in peach tree near to
the house, and from early morn till late at
night, you hear the notes of this matchless
soDgster. Its favorite position when sing
ing Is, on the point of a small tree. There,
resting, and apparently transfxed by the
shoot, it MARBLES that splendid medley,
that art sometimes initiates, but never
equals Hearth and Home.

If any one has the western fever. and still
wants to find some bills that will remind him
of home, here is a country hilly enough and
poor enough to suit any one.
Hitherto no bridge has been built across
the river at this point, but one is building
and will be completed in a few months The
cost is immense, and the ifficulty of building
a bridge half a mile in length is increased by
the necessity of making draw so that boats
can pass. There IL considerable danger in
working upon such bridges. Yesterday one
poor fellow fell into the water and was res
cued just as be was going down for the last
time. Those that complain of high fare up

4 JUDGE SENTENCES HIS SCHooLMATE
To BE misunderstanding to the Mem
phis Sun, Judge Flippin of Tennessee, was
lately placed in a very trying position
that of passing the death sentence on the
playmate of his youth Judge Flippin
spoke as follows
Samuel Il. PSston, this is one of the
saddest eras in my life. Our parents and
their children knew each other We
grew up together, went to the same school,
the same church, and played on hill and
valley the same innocent games in boyhood.
Years have passed since then. Our roads
in life have diverged. You now stand
convicted of great capital crime, and l,
as a minister of the law, have imposed on
me the painful duty of passing upon you
the sentence of death, Were it consistent
with my official duties, | would that this
cup could pass from me- But [ cannot
now shrink from the performance of this
sad official requirement, and must not, and
will not in the future, though other victims
may fail to avenge violated law 1t is,
therefore, the sentence of the Court that
you be remanded to the county Jail of
Shelby county, the place from whence you
came, to be there securely kept until Fri
day, the 10th day of May next, when you
will be taken by the sheriff of Shelby
county, between the hours of 10 A. NJ.
and 3 ?. NJ, within one mile and half
of the court house of said county, and there
be hanged by the neck until you are dead
and may God have mercy on your soul "

LATEST FROM WASHINGTON.
Rumorcd Reorganization OF the Cabinet-De
bate on the Test. Oath-Speech from
Congressman Platt, &c.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH, I

lSrEClAL TELEGhAA tn THE DlSPATCd'J
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-There Is report
in circulation that President Grant will re-
organize his Cabinet after the adjournment
Of the present Congress, and events which
have recently come to light give abundant
credit to the assertion. The object is for
the purpose of strengthening the Admins
tration.
The debate in the House to-day previous
to the passage of the bill to repeal the test
oath was extremely exciting. Platt, of
Virginia, made an earnest speech in oppo-
sitioE to all DISTINGUISHING clauses, and there
is no doubt but that his support helped the
measure exceedingly. Farnsworth treated
with ridcule the proposition to keep the
southern people "sw swearing" forever.
A large number of witnesses, principally
from North and South Carolina, are here to
testify before the Outrage Committee.

in different parts Of the country, out Of
sums ranging from 50, O00t to $4,000. Their
plan was to purchase United States certiti-
Gates of deposit and bank checks, certified
