"Come comel this will never dc -
said the doctor, as he hurriedly mixed
some horrid decoction in glass. "Here,
my dear, drink this; and nurse take the

but pray don't take my baby from me -
"Will you promise not to talk any

So, fearing the effect Of opposition |
suppose, they did as | desired them, and,
with my lips pressed upon the face of my
infant, who, with the instinct Of young
animals, seemed to understand ! was her
mother, and to be quite contented to lie
where She was, sank Off into a sleep as
placid as her own.

DEATHS REVENGE.

DEATHS REVENGE.
Wandering aimlessly on through the disma
street,
All needless OF snow and the icy sleet
Beating down on her shelterless head;
Hopeless, starving, dying tor bread
Drifting helplessly on, with vacant stare,
No one asking or caring where;
Hands clasped wildly over her reast,
Teeth close set, and lips,tiShtly pressed,
As i to keep back the sitting moan,
stu too proud for cry or groaI
That would reach the ears of the heartless
crowd
That once, long ago had before hel bowed,
Rapt, entranced, Ivy her beautiful face,
In which even now you can plainly trace,
Despite all the marks Of grief and sin,
The lovellness that must have been
When innocence shed tender glow
Ger those palid cheeks, and brow of snow
When purity shone through those hopeless
eyes;
Gentle as heaven then, blue as the skies,
Now, standing there in the lamplights glow
Locking wildly up at the falling snow,
Covering her there like still, W hite pail,
Her thoughts wander back to Ler tempter and
fall
Where was he now, on this wild, stormy
night?
Out in the darkness, FOR under the light
OF some peerless beauty's stately homeY
The hands clanched flphter. the Wild aves
shone;
And muttering low through her stifled cries,
"lf knew it I'd kill him before her eyes :
"With the words OF love on his lips, I'd take
The life he wasswearing, that for her sake,
'Should be hereafter devoted to good;
would seal the vow with his hearts warm
bloodp
She raised her eyes, full OF wild, fierce hate;
Revenge, come soon, or twill be too late ~
The wind still howled, and the snow Tell fast,
Whitening the form OF man going past,
With head bent low to avoid the sleet,
The ice and snow, sweeping through the street,
Not needing or seeing the woman there,
Now standing just out Of the lsmplight's glare;
Not seeing the eyes that, full on him turned,
Had he met their glance, must surely have
burned
Down through his soul, though calloused by
sin,
Down to the guilty heart within.
Such look might have shown in Lucifer's
eyes
When avenging might hurled him down from
the skies.
Her breath comes struggling hot and fast;
so God my revenge, has it come at last
A shrill cry rang on the midnight-air.
The man stopped. Full in the lamplght's
glare,
White as the snowfakes filling the street,
The woman was lying dead at his iset.

MISCELLANY.
THE BELL OF ST. JOHNS.
BY RUFUS SARGENT.

In huge and smoky foundry close by
the wharyes in the town of B gang
of workmen were getting ready to cast
the largest bell of st. Johns Cathedral
chime. Only an hour more, and they
flow from the huge furnace into the
mould which was barred deep in the
black earth close by.
1t was Just at evening, and in the gath.
ering twilight the lurid blue flames that
burst from the top Of the tall chimney
flashed unearthly CLEANS upon the neigh.
boring windows and house tops.
The scene within the foundry was
weired and almost awful. The swarthy
forms Of the workmen, partly lighted by
the yellow glare, moved about like Tar.
tartan shades, and the sooty beams aud
ponderous chains crossing half black,
half golden, under the golden roof, recall.
cd the engines of Cyclops under Mt.
Etna.
The town clock struck six. 1t was time
for supper. Ali the men threw down their
tools, and ran and put on their outer
clothing.
"Be back in half an hour, sharpl" cried
the forgemaster. ave shall make tho
cast at quarter OF seven"
"Al right, sir - cried the men in re-
Spouse.
81 hear some Of the town folks are
coming down to see the work., said one.
In a moment more only one workman
and the master were left in the foundry
The former was to stay and watch the
"blast." He had brought double al
lowance of dinner, and he would make O
supper Of what remained.
"perhaps we can get the inventor tC

laughing as he prepared to go.
"Yes, where is he ?" returned the mar
in the same jesting tone.
"He's been around the works Ions

4 FARMING TO THIEVES.
Virginia City Nov Enterprise. ]

v uHtAid NAtg AANoF,j
We wish to speak word of caution to
a large minority in this community. We
refer to thieves and inccndiaries. We
wish to say to them that they are gener-
ally much better known than they
believe themselvs to be. People are not
in good humor nowadays. A thousand
men could be called together in three
minutes on G street, at any hour Of the
day, who would rather enjoy the hanging
of thief or two. There is also an
organization here whose members are
perpetual septinels, and when they once
start on a mission Of mercy to the public
at large, Virginia City is liable to be filled
with an equidemic fatal to those who live
directly on the earnings Of other men.
We assure the gentleman who have de.
termined that the world owes them a
living without any honest effort on their
part that there might come about a
state of affairs which to change they
would be willing to give all their earthly
possessions for permission to walk to
Reno Should that time ever come,
permission might then be denied; So we
recon mended these gentlemen to not
delay the journey until the roads-for
them at least-close up. We commend
them to think how kind California was
20 them in former visits. Many will re.
member that so much was California
interested in them that they were made
the guests OF the State for term OF
years. lfthey return there now, with
the knowledge Of tho disaster which has
fallen upon Virginia, they will be renewed
objects ofattention. But they are not
all Caliiornians. Many are graduate,
of well.patronized institutions in the Older
States, and are so warmly remembered
that their pictures are carefully preserved
at the various county seats. To all such
We will say that when Virginia
City arouses itself to pay such
visitors proper attention, very lively
scene ensues. No attention ever paid
them in other States approaches that o
Virginia in intensity. The display il
wont to close with a ball, and no on,
who has yet danced at that tort Of a bal
has ever felt again any interest in th,
/ lighter amusements Of the oldest States
There are good many men in town /,
whom these words are directed in kind
ness, for VIC honestly believe that
change Of climate will prolong thei
lives.

10 the Travelling Public

1t Is the duty of all persons before start
ing on a Journey, 10 ascertain by what route
they can reach their destination with the

roads leading 10 the same point, TO decide
which is the safest and pleasantest TO trav-
el.
We take pleasure in stating that the Chi
cago x Northwestern Railway is the Oldest,
and several miles the shortest, between
Omaha and Chicago. Within the past two
years the road bed has been put in admira-
bic condition, and almost the entire line has
been relaid with steel rails.
The depot in Chicago iscentrally located,
and a their trains arrive there thirty min
utes in advance of all other lines, pasSen-
gers can always tie sure OF making eastern
connections. For all points in northern
and northeastern Iowa, you should purchase
tickets via Marshall, Cedar Rapids, or
Clinton. For points In northern Illinois or
Wisconsin, via Fulton; and if you are GO
ing To Chicago, or east YOU should, by all
means, purchase your tickets by the Old
Pioneer Route
The CHICAGO & NoRTHwEsTERS.
You will find on all through trains Pull
man sleepers, new and magnificent day
coaches, and the best smoking and second
class cars now ON any road in the United
States.

FROM OSBORNE COUNTY.
OSBORNE CITY, June 9, 1875.

OSBORNE CIrY, June y, 1879.
EDITOR TINES: The following is going
the rounds of the papers: at has been
stated on good authority, that the prospects
are flattering for some more lively times
with the Indians in Kansas. 1t is said that
several families have been frightened away
from their homes in Osborne county, Kan
sas, by the appearance in the neighbornood
OF large band Of Indians, who had en-
camped at the fork of the Solomon. Many
of the residents were engaged, on Tuesday,
in throwing up breastworks behind which
TO defend themselves. Asy yet, no blood has
been shed, but a tragedy is imminent at any
moment. Bulls City is being barricaded
by the citizens, and feeling OF general
alarm has spread through the community"
The above was evidently written with one
OF the following objects. First, either to
perpetrate a joke, or, second. to manufac-
ture a sensational story out of whole cloth.
Ii for the first, We are at a loss to imagine
how low in the scale of depravity man
must fall to enjoy such amusement. But
we are forced to the conclusion that it was
for some other purpose.
Did the writer ever think of the amount
of heart suferings caused by such state
ments? In this county reside about one
thousand families, and it is fair to presume
that each family has friends in other parts
of this State, and in other States, and what
must be their feelings to hear that their
loved ones are thus menaced by q treacher
Gus foe. To-day We are enjoying peace and
cheerful prospects of an abundant har-
vest. No sound of the war-whoop has been
heard in our midst. Our valley presents
the appearance of a country long subjected
to the hand of civilization. School houses
here and there present themselves to view !;
large fields of corn meet the eye on every
hand, while the grass has attained a larger
growth than it did last year. Many an
anxious heart awaits the approaching har-
vest, hoping for the day when they shall no
longer he stinted for food. PEACE.

Mr.. A. Haas keeps his horse in stable at
the head of the alley between Shawnee and
Seneca streets, just west of Broadway. On
the day mentioned, about the hour OF
eleven in the morning, Denmore went to the
stable, and succeeding in making an en-
trance through the door in the loft, took the
bride from the peg, and was in the act Of
putting il upon the animal, when the ar
rival OF the man in charge frightened
him away. Mr. Haas was informed OF the
occurrence upon his return at noon, and
Immediately hastened ont in search Of the
man, and found him near the corner Of
Usage street and Broadway. He informed
him that he was wanted, and sliced him
by the collar to prevent his escape. The
fellow made no resistance until he reached
Miami street, when he suddenly broke
from the grasp of Haas and started to run
Finding that pursuit was useless, Haa:
