Go Home. Bows.

Boys, don't hang round the cor
ners of the streets. If you have
anything to do, do it promptly right
off, then 60 home. Home is the
place for boys. About the street
corners, and at the stables they learn
| to talk slang, and they learn to
swear, to smoke tobacco and to do
many other things which they ought
not to do. Do your business; then
lgo home. If your business is play,
Iplay and make a business of it. 1
like to see boys play good, earnest,
Ihealthy games. If l were the town,
1 would give the boys 2 good, spa
Icious playground. II should have
plenty of soft green grass, and trees,
and fountains, and broad space to
run, and jump, and 10 play suitable
plays. I would make it as pleasant,
as lovely, as it could be, and would
/ give it to the boys to play in, and
when the play was ended, would
tell them to go home.
For when boys hang round the
street corners, and the stables, they
get slouchy and listless. Of all
things I dislike a listless boy or girl.
/ l would have a hundred boys, like q
hundred yachts, with every spar
straight, and every rope taut, the
decks and side clean, the rigging all
| in order, and everything ready to
slip the cable, and fly before the
wind, when the word comes to so.
But this cannot be, if you loaf
about the streets, and lounge about
the corners, and idle away your time
at the stables, and the salOons.-S.

Contents of an ohio Mound.

The Cincinnati Gazette says: "A1r.
S. A. Bell, of Plainville, brought TO
our Office on Saturday some pieces
Of wood almost carbonized into char
coal, anumber Of fragments Of bones,
evidently those Of young children,
and fragments Of teeth, back and
front, which must have belonged 70
the mouth Of 3 child; and also ro-
dent animals tooth, which had ob-
viously been worn as neck orns-
ment. They were found LAST week
under an ancient mound, which vas
removed for the purpose Of building
the approaches to theEeHton bridges.
They lay in large bed OF coal and
ashes, which already indicated that
the FIRE had covered a space Of TWEEN
ty-fve feet in diameter That it
must have been a very hot and long
continued conharagatioR vas evident
by the hardness and color Of the
ground snd remains Which had been
affected by the heat. When the IRE
had burned out, the coal and ashes
had been raked together IN heap
from four to ten inches in depth
From this heap the pieces OF bOnein
the collection shown to rs have been
picked out Among the discoveries
were q skull which had escaped
complete combustion, but had been
fattened down by the weight Of the
dirt above it, leaving its character
plain and distinct, however. Close
beside it lay three front and four
jaw teeth, seemingly unaffected by
the fire. Most Of the other bones
lay promisculously among the ashes
The number of victims was evident
ly large, and were all those of chill
dren. It seems quite certain that
the little ones we're the victims of
some superstitious rite akin to those
practieed by the ancient Cauaanites
in honor of their god Moloch. Tbs
mound beneath which the remains
lay buried was Of medium size, and
was composed Of materials trans
ported from considerable distance,
and from very many points and To-
calities. Each variety was carefully
deposited by itself, and the differ
ence between the materials Fas 90
great that their respective characters
were clearly distinguishable."

/
| I believe, if I should die
And you should kiss my eyelids when lie
! Cold, dead, and dumb TO all the world contains
! The folded orbs would open at thy breath,
And from its exile in the Isles of Death
Life would come gladly back along my veins,
believe, if were dead,
And you upon my lifeless heart should tread,
Not knowing what the poor clod CHANGED to be
It would find sudden pulse beneath the touch
OF him it ever loved in life so much,
And throb again, warm, tender, true to thee.
believe, if on my grave,
Hidden in woody deeps, or by the wave,
Your eyes should drop some warm tears of regret
From every salt seed of your dear grief
Some fair, sweet blossom would leap into leaf
= To prove. death could not make my love forget.
I believe, if I should fade
Into those mystic realms where light is made,
And should long once more my face to see,
would come forth on the hills of night,
And gather stars like fagots till thy sight
Led by their beacon blaze, fell full on me.
1 believe my faith in thee,
Strong asmy life, so nobly placed to be,
would as soon expect to see the sun
Fall like dead king from his height sublime,
His glory stricken from the throne of time,
As thee unworth the worship thou hast won.
believe who hast not loved
Hath half the treasure of his life improved;
Like one who, with the grape within his grasp,
Drops it, with all its crimson juice impressed,
And all its lucious sweetness left unguessed,
Out from his careless and unheeding clasp.
1 believe love, pure and true,
Is to the soul a sweet, immortal dew,
That gems life's petals in its hours of dust;
The waiting angels see and recognize
Thu rich crown-jewel, Love, of Paradise,
When life falls from US like withered husk.

The Romanoe Of a Restaurant


A Chicago correspondent of the
Troy Times says: "a bit of romance
recently came to my notice which
has not before appeared in print.
Some time in December last, q girl
about seventeen years Of age, who
at that time was serving as table
waiter in a large dining restaurant,
was arrested for stealing package
of money from the pocket of a gen
Itleman's overcoat which was hanging
in the room while he was eating his
dinner. Atthe preliminary examin
alton a party sWore to having seen
her take the coat and hang it up
quickly again; that she soon left
the room fog q short time; and, as
the money was not to be found, she
was held for trial. In vain she pro-
tested that she merely moved the
coat to avoid its getting soiled; in
vain with fearful eyes she offered to
be searched. The circumstances
were suspicious, and the officers in
exorable. In the meantime the gen.
tleman who had lost the money be-
came interested in her history, found
she was an orphan girl, and, though
comparatively friendless, bearing an
excellent character. Further than
this, he ascertained she was Of Eng
ilish parentage, that her name was
the same as his own, and, to make
the story short could not disbelieve
that she was the daughter of his
own brother, whom he supposed tc
have died chHdless in Australia sev.
eral years ego OF course he de-
lclined prosecuting her, and, as he is
wealthy and without near kin, he at
once arranged to take her home with
him, on his return from the West
whittier he was then en- route. The
other day he, with his newly adept
ed child so strangely brought tC
him, started for New York, whence
they will soon sail for England.

) he should do when they got t,
: Green's, and she wondering why b.
! did not say something nice to he
as well as squeeze her hand, and why
his coat was buttoned up so tightly
on such warm evening, and what
made his face and hat so dirty, un-
til as they were going down a little
hill one Of the traces came unhitched
and they had to stop.
90, murder!" said Bill; "what
| next2"
"What is the matter, Mr.. SmileyY''
said the widow, with 4 start that
came near jerking the robe off his
knees.
Zone of the traces is of, said he.
We'll, why don't you get out and
put it on?"
Il can't said Bill; I've got-that
! is, l haven't got-oh, dear, I'm so
| sick What shall 1 do?"
"Why, Willie" said she tenderly,
what is the matter? do tell me"
she gave his hand q little squeeze,
and looking into his pale face she
thought he was going to faint, so
she got out her smelling bottle with
her left hand, and pulling the stop
iper out with her teeth, she stuck it
to his nose.
Bill was just taking in breath for
a mighty Sigh, and the pungent odor
made him throw back his head so
far that he lost his balance and went
over the low backed buggy. The
little woman gave a little scream as
his bare feet few past her head; and
covering her face with her hands
gave way to tears or smiles-it is
hard to tell which. Bill was 'right
side up" in q moment, and was lean
ing over the back of the seat hum
bly, apologizing and explaining, when
Ed. Wilbur with his wife and baby, |
drove up behind and stopped. Poor
Bill felt that he would rather have
been shot than have Ed Wilbur
catch him in such q scrape, hut there
was no help for it now, so he called
Ed. to him and whispered it in his
ear. Ed. was like to burst with
suppressed laughter, but he beck
oned to his wife to draw up, and, |
after saying something to her, he
helped the widow out of BilPs buggy
and into his, and the two women
went on, leaving the men behind. !
Bill lost no time in arranging his
toilet as well as he could, and then !
with great persuasion Ed. got him to |
go home with him, and hunting up
slippers and socks, and getting him
washed and combed, had him quite |
preseutable when the ladies arrived. |
I need not tell how the story was
all wormed out Of bashful Bill, and |
how they all laughed as they sat
around the tea table that night, but !
will conclude by saying that theys
went to the show together, and Bill
has no fear of Gus. Sockrider now.
This is the story about Bill and the |
widow just as I had it from Ed. Will
bur, and if there is anything unsatis-
factory about it, ask him.

Mr.. Higgins informs us that about
the time be had arrived at his thir-
teenth year, his father was addicted
to little habit of private drinking.
His mother who wore the inexpress-
ibles in a rather rigid and tyrannieal
manner had positively forbidden the
introduction of any spirits into the
house, and his father, standing in
extreme awe Of her, had led her to
believe that he had dropped the hab-
| it. Under cover of her faith in this,
ne managed to conceal sundry bot
ties in various localities convenient
of access. One day at the dinner
table his mother quietly produced g
bottle from her pocket and holding
it up asked with the gentleness of
gathering simoom where that came
from. A sudden inspiration seized
the father. He st once grasped Mr..
Higgins by the ear, exclaiming:
misguided young man!-is it possi-
BILE tkat you have commenced that
fearful habit already? And without
allowing Mr.. II. time to utter a word
of denial he proceeded to kick him
violently out into the back kitchen
where he was locked in by his infu-
rated parent until after dinner.
''You cannot imagine" said Mr..
Higgins senior, "what a comfort it is
to an old fathers heart, to know
that he has a son he can depend up
on on such occasions. Gracious
