One day recently, q respectfully
dressed man carried a well grown
child muffled up and apparently
sick, into French's hotel, New
York. He placed the child on the
stairs and began to talk to ii in q
very rough, unkind way. The at
tention of the guests was attracted
and they gathered around. "You
are able to walk up stairs by your
SELF" said the man, "and / won't
carry you"
"Oh, no." the child sobbed, "do
carry me up; please pa, do. You
know ever since l was run over by
the cars and lost both my feet /

"That's all stuff" the man said ;
"get up at once or I'll make you"
The poor child began to sob
worse than before, and the brutal
man gave it a severe thump on the
side of the head. The child moan
ed piteously. The indignation OF
the by-standers was excited, and
one of them said to the man:

The man doubled his fist and
made as if he was about to give !
the child a savage blow. One OF
the by-standers interfered and
said:
"Say;, if you don't stop this I'll
call a policeman. I never saw
such a brutal father in all my life."
The man began to tumble in his
pockets and the child cried out
"Take care, he's got a knife.

About SenutOr.

The Farmers at their Convention al
New Richmond, raised strictly local
issue on which to nominate and elect a
state senator. What this convention
will amount to We shall not presume to
predict, though We are of the opinion
that it foreshadows big fight.
Whether the Hudson convection will
nominate o candidate, or whether it
will adjourn is a matter which time
alone can settle.
Whether Judge Barron is in the
field, we know not, but predict the
negative. That Hans b. Warner is in
the field, and quite confident Of sue
cess, we understand TO be fact
In view OF this fact few questions
may be pertinent.
Is onr County Clerk going to resign
lucrative Office TO take his chances
for one less lucrative, but Of higher re
pute! Or,does he ask us TO support
him for Senator while he still holds q
responsible positionY
Again, at whose suggestion, or at
whose request, does Mr.. Warner take
the feld' BY whom is he assured that
the delegates from the north will sup
port him in convention? If he has such
assurance, by what necromancy havS
they been made to see aud believe tina.
Pierce county is entitled TO the honor
Of fifth representative, ahcn St. Croix
county has had but three, aud the
northern district noneY
tits not our purpose to be captious
in this matter, but We confess that
there is something amusing abont il,
aud there may be something instructive
about il. We admire a laudable ambi-
ton, but il is not always good policy 10
fly ones kite so high as TO lot il soar
above the clouds, since they obscure
the sight.
In speaking with reference 10 this
matter, the Star & Times assures Us
that a candidate nominated from Pierce
county will receive rousiug majority
in St. CroiI county.
We make thus free with the senatori
al question for the purpose Of arousiug
spirit Of inquiry throughout the eutirc
county. Let the whole matter b
thoroughly siilod, and thoroughly vcutil
lated, 50 that the County Convention
may be prepared to act iutclligeutly

To One Loved and Lost.
The air is laden with sweets, Mary,
Tat follow the feet OF spring;
And the echoing tones of gladness doas
Refund every living thing;
The violets on the meadow land,
Have opened their eyes Of blue,
Aud the lily-cups you loved so we'll,
Are brimming Ger with dew.
The willow by the well, Mary,
Is swaying 10 and fro,
The same as when beneath We sat
Together long ago.
Two little birds have hung their home
Upon the swinging limb,
Aud every morn, at early dawn,
hear their matin hymn.
I'm sitting here alone, Mary,
Under the Linden tree;
came to hear the brooklet's vsicc,
In mild, sweet harmony.
| mind the time when first wo came,
Its babbling tones to greet,
With footsteps light, and hearts csre-free;
Our days with joy replete.
The grass is Just as green, Nary,
The wild-bird's song as dear,
The brook goes ripping just the same
As when you last we're here.
But now it tells of blightel hopes,
Ofjoys no moro to be,
And its sweet voice chants in my ear,
A mournful melody.
Ny heart is filled with pain, Mary.
Too deep for words or tears,
And gloom tipped clouds now seem TO hang
Ger all the coming year;
But when look with Ion ging eyes
Up through the ether tlue
! think. that when the Master comes.
He'll take ne up TO you.

THE BURIAL or THE SWITCH.



PARODY on Tue BURIAL OF SIR JOHN MOORE.
Not a sound was heard, and our mother was cut
when the switch from the corner we hurried:
And we all three vowed We would tell it not
Der thegrave where our terror was buried
We buried him boldly in broad daylight,
The clods with our chubby hands turning;
Aud we smiled to think Of the fun 10 night
AMI the mischief planned for the morrow.
No useless coffin enclosed his breast,
Not in sheet or in shroud we wound him.
But he lay like warrior taking his rest,
With his old brown coat around him.
Few and short the prayers we said,
And we spoke not a word Of sorrow;
But steadfastly gazed on the young sprout dead
And chuckled to think Of the morrow,
We thought as We followed his narrow bed
How boy who gets whipped always bel.
lows
How father and mother would tread Ger his
head
Aud never suspicion US fellows.
WOnl'ring they'll talk of tie switch that is
gone,
Aud wish they had never mislaid him;
But little well reck if they'll lei him sleep on
In the grave we so silly have made him.
But half our cheerful task was done
When the clock struck the hour for dinner;
And we heard them calling, one by one,
For each trembling, little sinner.
As quick as lightning we had him down,
From the field ofhis fame fresh and CORY;
We carved not line, but we stamped the dirt
round,
And left'him alone in his gloryI
