THE YOUNG FOLKS.
Three Little NeM Birds.

IAFee 1lLJ1e IN6E9~ASlT0Ss
we meant to be very kind;
But if ever we find
Another soft gray-green, moEsccaSed feathep-lfa87
nest in the hedge,
We have taken pledge :.
Susan, Jenny, and with renaorsefu tears at this
very minute,
That if there are eggs or little birds IN it,
Robin wren, thrush chafaneh on hrrnet
We'll leave them there
To their mothers care.
There ware shree of us-Kase, and Susan, and
I don't know their names for they couydn't speak
Except with little imperative squeak
Exactly like Poll,
Susa1l's squeaking DOLL
But sGueaking dolls will lie on the shelves
For years, and never squeak OF themselves
The reason we like little birds so much better than
Is because they are really alive, and know how TO
make noise.
There was three of Jls and three Of them:
Kate-that is land Susan and Jem
Our mother was busy making pie
And theirs we think, was up in the sky:
But for all Susan, Jenny, or can tell
She may have been getting their dinner as well
They were left to th emselyes (and so were WEI
In q nest in the hedge by the willow tree,
And when we caught sight Of three red Htklc
huff-tufted. hazel-eyed, open-1nouthed, pink
thpoated heads, we all shouted for glee
The way we really did wrong was this:
We took them for mother to kiss
And she told us to put Thorn back,
While out on the weeping willow their mother was
crying, {. AIack ~
We really heard
Both what mother told to do and the voice of the
motherhood.
But we three-that is, Susan and and Jen--
Thought we knew beSter than either Of them;
And in spite of our mothers command and the poor
birds cry,
We determined to bring up her three little nestngs
ourselves on the sly.
We each took one,
It did seem such excellent fun!
Susan fed hers on milk and bread;
Jem got wriggling worms for his instead.
gave mine meat,
For, you know, [ thought g Poor darling pet!o
Why shouldn't it have roast beef to eat 2"
But, oh DEAR oh DEAR how cried
When, in spite of milk and bread and worms and
roast beef, the little birds died
It's a terrible thing to have heartache,
I thought mine would break
AS heard the mother-birds moan,
And looked at the gray-green, moss-coated,
feather-lined nest she had taken such pains 10
make,
And her three little children dead and cold as
stone.
Mother said, and it's sadly true,
s. There are some wrong things one can never
undo"
And nothing that we could do or say
Would bring life back 60 the birds that day.
The bitterest tears that we could weep
Wouldn't wake them out of their stiff cold sleep.
But then,
We-Susan and Jem and I-mean never to be so
selfish and willful and cruel again.
And we three have buried that other three
In soft, green, undiscovered, noWer-lined grave
at the foot Of the wilow-tree;
And all the leaves which its branches shed l
We think are tears because they arc dead,

Milwaukee, for non-payment of assess
ments made against them last month for
tax out of which the government had
been defrauded by irregular practices,
| for which the distillers are now being
prosecuted. The distilleries will be sold
under the hammer to satisfy the demands
of the government.
JUDGE DYER, of the United States
District Court for the Milwaukee Dis
trict, has delivered an opinion denying
the motion to vacate an order upon one
Shanfeld, rectifer, requiring him to
produce his books and papers. 1t was
argued by ex-senator Carpenter in sup
port of the motion, that man could not
be compelled to furnish evidence that
would criminate himself. Elk Chief
Justice Dixon represented the govern
ment in the argument of the motion.
JOHN L. KUBE, of WATERFOWL, Justice
of the Peace, became engaged in dis
graceful fight with Mrs. Dora Borgamas-
ter, the other day. During the fight
Kube fired at the woman with shot
gun, but fortunately missed his mark.
The irate Amazon pummeled Kube's
maltreated her in such manner that she
is confined to her bed and said to bel
critical condition. Mrs. Borgamaster is
SO years of age.
Hon. HENRY STEVENS, prominent
and highly resp ected citizen of Racine,
committed suicide last week by hanging
himself. Mr.. Stevens was twice Repub-
lican State Senator from Racine county
and honored and respected by both po
litical parties, as gentleman of strict
integrity. He had just returned from a
visit to New York city, his former resi-
dence, and retired to rest in the best of
spirits but, not appearing in the morn
ing, search was made, and he was found
hanging to tree. He had made sys-
tematic preparations for the deed but,
as his relations, both monetary and fam
lily are without flaw, no cause can be as
signed but temporary insanity, superin-
duced by retiring from active life.
WILLIAM BUCKINGHAM, GAINESVILLE
saloon-keeper, became enraged over an
article which appeared in the GAINESVILLE
Gazette, and essayed to revenge himself
by inficting personal chastisement on
Mr.. Colyin, the business manager of the
paper. But Colyin wouldn't chastise
worth cent. He just sailed into 6 the
noble Buckingham in manner any
thing but childlike and bland, and when
he had gotten through the vender of
cocktails looked like the victim of
first-class threshing machine accident.
So much for Buckingham. He will
probably think twice before he tackles a
newspaper man again.
A CORRESPONDENT sends the following
from Brodhead go. B. Kimberly, of
the house of Titus & Kimberly, of Chi
cago, has bought back the Independent,
of this village, and taken possession of
the Office this week. Charley Moore,
who has been one of the proprietors for
about two years, is going to Annapolis
to the Naval School, while Mr.. stone
will go to Chicago. They were both
minors. The change is satisfactory to the
people. We have been having splendid
rains, which it is believed will prove de
structive to the chinch-bugs, and will be
the very thing needed for the crops.
Farmers, and of course others, are hope
full. General health here is very good.
Our factories are running up to their full
apacity."

Five Persons Drowned.

On Saturday, July 3, large party
from the vicinity of Middle River, Iowa,
went to Greenfield, Adair county, TO cele-
brate the Fourth. About dark they
started for home, and, reaching Middle
River, found it's banks full. In one of
the wagons were Mr.. A. Montgomery,
his wife, daughter, and son also Mrs.
Thomas Montgomery and her three chill.
dren, and Mr.. J. r. Bates. Mr.. Mont
gomery, who lived just across the stream,
thought it was safe, and concluded to
ford it. They accordingly ventured in,
but the water was so deep that the wagons
box was detached and turned over, and
the occupants were plunged into the
torrent. Mrs. Thomas Montgomery,
with her little babe in her arms, went
under and was not seen afterwards Mr..
Montgomery chung to the horses with q
little boy in his arms, but the horses got
frightened, and he was compelled to let
go and cry for help but no one could
reach him, and he and the little boy went
down also, and were not seen afterWard.
In the meantime Mr.. Baker was swim
ming for the opposite shore. with another
little boy In his arms, but became en-
hausted and was drowned within four
feet of the bank. Mrs. A. Montgomery
chung to the wagon-box, and was finally

The American teamof ridemen IN Ire
land seem to be the special favorites OF
victory. They not only carried off the
honors at the original match for the
championship, but one OF them won the
Spencer cup, subsequently, II match
at Thousand yards. The feeling IN
spired even among the Irish people
seems to be that of generous enthusiasm,
though ne suspect that any victors but
Americans would hardly have been SO
acceptable. 1t is never easy TO submit to
defeat with grace; but the earlier history
of the United States for independence
was so crowded with heroes of Hibernian
birth, that their descendants do not re-
gard us as strangers, and certainly not
possible foes. These pleasant inter
changes of courtesies, therefore, are
gratifying to witness.
The most obvious if not the most I'M
portant of the crimes peculiar to this
age is called embezzlement, and In this,
though we may not boast of it, America
leads the world. In no other country
do the employers show such reckless
ness in trusting their affairs entirely to
lNxo aaf0 c11aI
dacity and teachery in profting by the
confidence. The champion example of
the year has just come to light in Phila-
delphia. A young financial agent and
bookkeeper runs away with 81, 200, 900,
involving the total ruin of his employer,
Mr.. Henry G. Morris. The embezzler
Alexander Erwin, was In charge OF Mr..
Morris foundry business, and all OF
his personal drafts on the treasury have
been within the last two years. In one
month he charged himself with three
notes of $4,000 each in another month
he charged himself with deposit of
$50, 900, which he failed to credit /; then,
to while away the time, and for the sake
of light gymnastic exercise, he would
every little while utter his employers
note for 300, 900, and calmly draw the
money on it. Whenever the muscles of
his hand became faced from inertness,
he would stir them up by issuing these
notes Mr.. Morris cleared 81, 100000
the first three years of his business, and
Mr.. Erwin cleared with more than a
million during the next three.

Two little fellows of perhaps and 10
years stood playing on the wharf yester-
day, when one of them yelled ssThrow

thin. !" Yes I will, pom my honor. "
No sooner said than DONE The hat had
scarcely struck the water when splash
went Dutchy, and with the hat in his
mouth had nearly reached the dock when

which cast him crashing against pile,
knocking the breath from him, and down

ately left before any one could learn his
