The Burlington Gazette pronounces
Williams and Dean, two of the rob-
hers of the Anamosa post-office, who
We're sentenced to the penitentiary at
the recent term of the United States
District Court, held in Dubuque the
''hardest cases" ever seen. These
two prisoners, en- route to Fort Mad
ison, were lodged during one night,
in the Burlington Jail by the officers
in charge. Dean made display of
his ingenuity in picking locks and
relieving himself of his shackles for
the benefit of visitors to the jail
With pin, broomstraw or splinter
of wood, he can pick any handcuff
or shackled lock. He was securely
shackled and locked in his cell. but
scarcely had the rnkey closed the
door when Dean called him back,
and laughingly said: "You have
put this leg-iron around that door bar
instead Of my leg" Sure enough,
upon examination, the turnkey dis
covered that in a short time Dean
had removed the iron from his .eg
and locked them around the door
bar. He was then chained to the
floor of the cell, but succeeded in re-
moving the irons from his person
several times. On his way down,
while in the ears, he removed his
shackles, no doubt contemplating
escape, but Marshal Mclendy, who
was seated just behind the prisoner,
discovered the trick in time to pre-
vent the rascal's game.

JOHN q. WHITTIER,

JOHN G. WHITTIER,
God called the nearest angels who dwell with him
above;
The tenderest one was Pity, the dearest one was
Love.
"Arfse,, T., he said "my angels' wall of woe and
Steals through the gates Of heaven, and saddens
all within.
my harps take up the mournful strain that from
a lost world swels,
The smoke OF torment clouds the light and bliyhts
the asphOdels
Fly downward to that under world, and on its
souls of pain
Let Love drop smiles Of sunshine, and Pity tears
like rain!''
Two faces bowed before the throne, yelled in their
golden hair;
Four white wings lessened swiftly down the dark
abyss Uf air.
The way was strange. the flight was long; at last
the angels came
Where swung the lost and neither world red wrap
ped in rayless fame.
There Pity, shaddering. wept; but Love, with faith
Took heat from Gods almightiness and smiled a
emile Of cheer.
And lol that tear Of Pity Quenched the flame
WhereOn it fell
And. with the sunshine Of that smile. hope enter
ed into hellt
Two unveiled faces full of Joy looked upward to
the throne
Four white wings folded at the feet of Him who
sat thereon!
And deeper than the sound of seas more soft
than failing fake.
Amidst the hush of wing and song the Voice
Eternal sDake
Welcome. my angels! ye have brought 3 hoer
Joy to ht taven:
Henceforth its sweetest song shall he the song Of
sin forgiven!''

The moment an editor becomes
thoroughly conscientious, and recog
nizes the importance and dignity Of
his position, he drops his SCI sational
headings with disgust. If he has
news from Zanzibar, the heading of
his item states the fact; and if the
reader is interested in Zanzibar he
reads the item. If he has important
news from Zanzibar his heading
states the fact, and if very important
news from Zanzibar, that fact; and

by sensational headings. 1t is !
good ncwspape- rule to hit every
subordinate, sensational head wArc.-.
er the editor sees il. Al news ~
more than one head is guilt, OF II
crime against editor and reader alike,
and deserves decapit;,,ion.
Shall we mention another sin :?
Have we to-day any such thing in
America us priya'e life! Is II pr
vate man, or even a mans family
safe from public mention? Alas!
that the press has M apology for its
familiar handling Of private names
and private affairs! Alas! that there
are so many in private life who re-
joice in the public airing Of their per-
sonalilies and their personal move
ments! Alas! that the details of pri-
vate life are dcvoured SO greedily by
so many who do not seem to know
that the love OF notoriety is vulgar,
and that thci, desire to pry into the
life Of others compromises their dig
nifty and their neighborly goodwill.
After all, is it Il diynitied business
for the press to minister to this low
and unhealthy creed? Is the world
so barren of great topics that the press
perf"yrc, must transform itself into a
neighberhood taller and II public
gossip? Are valuable opinions and
valuable intelligence SO scarce that it
must send its prying interviewers
out among the ranks of private men,
to worm out their secrets, on pain of
misrepresentation and abuse, and
spred them before curious public?
The American press of the future will
not do It, unless civilization shall ret
rograde, and our nation remain y
nation of children.

Philip could stand no more. The
tears that had come to his eyes twenty
times during the day and as many
times had been forced back now over
flowed his eyelids and ran down his
cheeks. He stammered:
"You are too kind to me, father
l do not deserve this"
"Don't deserve it, Philip" ex-
claimed Mr.. Raymond with much
apparent surprise. ~ think you'd
better leave that to my Judgment. I
should like to know what boy does
deserve kindness from his father, if
you don't? If had a dozen sons l
could not ask them to be more faith
full and industrious than you have
been. There, there! don't shed any
tears over it-you're tired-better 60
to bed as soon as you can, so as to
feel fresh in the morning. If it's q
good day tomorrow &c must secure
that rowen."
'Thank You, father" Philip said,
with a quivcri1g voice, and went i'm
mediately up stairs. If he had been
little less overcome himself he
would have noticed that his fathers
voice was slightly shaky, and if he
had looked back as he passed out of
the door he would have seen his
father brush 4 tear or two from his
own eyes.
IIenceforth there WAS no lack of
confidence, sympathy and affection
between MIR. Raymond and Philip;
and by reason Of a private interview
that Mr.. Raymond had with Clinton
Dcxtcr's father, Clintoh's home life
WAS much more agreeable than here
toiore.
Philip has always looked back TO
his fifteenth birthday as a remarkable
epoch in his life; and he never ceased
until his aged father recently Wis
tied him and heard him speak rather
harshly to his own little son II to
marvel at the wonderful change that
came over his father, himself, or both.
at that time. Then his father took
him aside and told him the whole
story, and cautioned him against
growing into the habit of speaking
in that way to his children.
"Always remember, Philip" he
said, 'that crustiness or harshness
are no more agreeable to a child's
feelings than they are to a grown
persons; and that they are more
likely to lead any one out of the right
path than into it; and that they never
will forget love-"

A Slew Horse.

Ifyou have any sympathy on hand
for which you have no particular use
you may rs we'll bestow it upon 4
certain clergyman of New Haven,
Conn. This clergyman has long
wanted horse, but being afflicted
with want not entirely unknown in
his profession, the want of money,
has been unable to purchose the de-
sired qnadruped. Recently, however,
he came into possession of a fine
horse without paying for it. The
clergyman has friend, Il sporting
gentleman, who remarked to him one
day that he had a horse totally use
less to him, rs it WAS too SLOW on the
road, and that he should receive the
animal as gift. To say that the
reverend gentleman was elated would
be to express in the most absurdly
inefficient manner his satisfaction and
a>tonishment. TO get n good horse
for nothing was a wonderful stroke
of fortune, and to get 4 kind, slow
horse, one with deliberate clerical
Gait, was best of all. The horse WAS
sen; to him soon atterward, and its
fine appearance but added to the
clergyman's qualification. As soon
as possible Il carriage was obtained
aud then the minister took She reins
and drove out upon apopular avenue
to give the st,.il horse an airing
Once upon the avenue where fast
horses were carecrium by the clergy
