common revenge, but the regular dime
novel sort. This is how 1t happened.
Tompklns' boy had scalped Browns
cat, and wore the feline trophy in trl-
umph In his belt. He bad been reading
fractional currency literature and this
was the result. Last week lie was a pi-
rate, and hung thirteen cats to the yard
arms. This week he careers as an Indian
scout by cutting up his fathers perfOra-

suit, trimming 1t with beads from his
mothers velvet cloak, while her new
bonnet was demolished 10 secure the
ostrich feathers for his head-dress.
This was perilous week for the chill =

unguarded by his father, ventnred out,
Tompkins' boy, skulking behind some
tree. whizzed an arrow at his head while
dogs were mercilessly treated as wolves,
and cats as panthers. 1t Is astonishing
how lively boy of an aspiring mind can
make neighborhood. But ali these no.
BILE aspirations were lost upon Brown;
he was man who read the Bible and
taught a c.ass in Sunday School; and
how could he could be expected to ap-

Brown was standing at his wood pile

boy in Indian suit and red paint, draw

fine Brahma rooster; and just as the
chicken popped over. Brown got over
on tths other side and got Tompkins'
boy by the ear. Now Brown was not

sesses great pRtien oe, and he just qui-
etly lifted Tompkins' boy up by the
ear and stood him on tho end of bis
toes, while that ear stretched out like
a piece OF India rubber that had been
warmed by the tire, and he talked
with him quietly about his depravity
and pleaded with him 10 abandon his
blooutbirsty life, and let his am bitions
in future years lead HIM to The honest
walk of politics. Brown then changed
off and took fresh lift on tho ear with
his left hand, while he drew out
Bible from his coat pocket and read
the sermon on the Mount to Tomp-
klns' boy. This reading did not in

his supper was ready, and his mother
wanted him to pick up chips ior her;

some tracts, and let him down slowly

Not long ago there was published In

have appeared in connection with that

In 1855 gentleman of high birth and
great wealth in England came to this
