EE Hon. David Atwood, OF the
State Journal, writes letter to his
paper from Washington, in which is
this liberal paragraph: "The Liber.
al Republicans are, perhaps, the
mcst subdued portion Of the MEM
bers of Congress. They are hanging
around loose The Republicans don't
claim them the Democrats don't
banker after them and they hardly
know where they do belong. Ia the
Senate, The ma ority treated them as
outside the Republican organization
in making up committees, and left
them to the tender mercies of the
opposition. This was doubtless
proper. In the late campaign they
united their forts with the Demo-
cracy, and did their best to defeat
their old party the party that had
done so much for the country and
for them the party they had profess
cd to love. In these efforts they
were not successful but the Repub..
licans are certainly under no oblga-
tions to the Liberals for their
triumph"

A KENrUCKIAN and a Yankee were
once riding through the woods. the former
on fine black horse, and the Yankee on
an inferior animal. The latter wanted to
make "swap," but he did not see how
he was to do it. At last he thought of a
plan. His horse had been tanght to sit
down like dog whenever he was touched
by the spurs Seeing a wild turkey. the
Yankee made his horse perform his trick,
and asserted that be was pointing game,
as was his custom. The Kentuckian rode
in the direction indicated by the horses
nose, and up rose turkey. That settled
the matter the trade was made, and sad
dies and horses were changed. After a
time they came to deep and rapid stream
over which the black horse carried his ri
der with ease. Bnt the Kentuckian, on
the yankees old beast, found great diff
Guilty in getting over, and when he had
reached the middle of the stream be was
afraid the horse would allow himself to
be carried away, so he endeavored to spur
him up to more vigorous action. Down
sat the old horse on his launches. "Look
. here A" Shouted the enraged and par
tally submerged Kentuckian to the Yam
kee on the other side of the stream,
"What does all this mean q
Il want you to know. stranger" cried
the Yankee. preparing to ride away,
"that that there hoss ,eiU pint fish jist as

this the infuriated brother compelled the
poor man to do. and then quietly awaited
the end. Day BY day the partner grew
weaker and the brother gloated over his
misery, often reading to hin the letter
from his mother
The poor man promised to marry the
girl and make all the reparation in his
power to the family, but the brother was
deaf to entreaties. At last the partner
-dwindled to a skeleton-died, and the
brother, after burying his victims ema
ciated corpse in the sand, resumed his
journey to St. Louis. There he gave out
that his partner had died while on his
way through the Rocky Mountains, and
in proof of his assertion delivered his
letters. The will was also proved. and
the girl became the dead mans heir
Two years afterward the brother was
shot by indians. and before he died con
fessed what he had done. Some hunters
visited the place and dug up the skele

From the n. Y letter to tho ST. Louis Re

Over in Brooklyn there ID a young
girl, who, seven years ago, was thrown
from a horse. Her back, if not seri-
ously broken, had at leasted ceased to
perform its functions, her heart ceased to
beat, and she was dressed for the grave
but about her face there fingered SO much

to allow her burial. After few days,

this day she lies. her body perfectly help

able this unhappy creature to remain on
earth. One hand is tightly closed. and
the other she uses with an almost natural
freedom. She is partially blind. and can
only family utter a few broken words -
Her body is wasted until it is the size of
a child OF six or seven, but her face is
still pretty. and bears no signs of her
fearful experience. She inserts knife
in the closed hand. and cuts sheets of
wax into proper shape, and moulds it, and
colors it, and makes very beautiful wax

has taken no food in the natural way
since her injury. and is the most wonder

her parents left her well of, and she has
an aunt whose devotion admits no merce-
nary thought, this young lady is CON-
paratively unknown. But what fate
has befallen her-a living death Who
can tell what may be the action of her
mind. for she lie incapable Of writing
much or speaking but few words, and
withal seems to have developed an un-
known sense, for when her aunt enters
the room with a letter she herself cannot

away from the letter. utters a strange
noise. and family speaks the name of

COURAGE TO DO RIGHT.

We may have courage, all Of rs,
To start at honor's call,
To meet a foe, protect . friend.
Or face . oannon-ball!
To show the world one hero lives,
The foremos; in the fight
But do We always manifest
The courage to do right!
To answer "No :" with steady breath,
And quick unfaltering tongue,
When fierce temptation, ever near,
Her siren song has sung!
To care not for the bantering tone,
The jest, or studied slight;
Con,snt if we can only have
The courage to do right!
To step aside from fashions course,
Or customs favored plan;
To pluck an outcast from the street,
Or help q fellow-ran!
II not, then let US nobly try.
Henceforth, with all our might,
In every case to muster up
The courage to do right.
