Five Persons Drowned.

On Saturday, July B, 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 its 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. II. 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 wagon
box was detached and turned over, and
the occupants were plunged into the
torrent. Mrs. Thomas Montgomery,
with her little babe III her arms, went
under and was not seen afterwards. Mr..
Montgomery chung to the horses with a
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 afterwaId.
In the meantime Mr.. Baker was swim
ming for the opposite shore, with another
little boy in his arms, but became ey-
hausted and was drowned within four
feet of the bank. Mrs. A. Montgomery
chung to the wagon-box, and was finally
rescued by man who was standing ON
the bank. Miss Ella Montgomery, with
one of the little boys, had got hold of a
seat that fioated away from the box, and,
a pole being thrown in, she and the little
boy caught it, and were saved by some
paties who had got to the stream. An
other, an older boy, swan to the shore,
and was pulled out by his two little
brothers, who had come down to the
bank of the stream. Out of load OF
nine who entered the stream only foui
were rescued. Out of Mr.. Montgomery

The Way to be Beautiful.

Master Frank was in brown study.
He had been taken up stairs into the
drawing-room to see his aunt-that is to
say, the wife of his uncle William, who
was only recently married and this
was her first visit after the wedding
tour.
Master Frank had behaved with great
propriety during the interview, but had
gone away so grave and thoughtful that
his nurse was little disturbed by such
an unusual state of affairs.
"Why, Frank, what are you thinking
about" said she "don't you like your
new auntie {"
"Not much," replied the matter-of-
fact Frank.
"And why not, frankie Z"
Because she is not pretty, like man.

slider herself included in this command,
so every poor bewildered puppy was
housed and fed, and, when good mas
ter was found, was sent on his way re-
joicing. One lank yellow dog in particu-
lar she was very fond of-Charley had
named him Gen. Grant, because he was
such splendid warrior. He would rush
out and fight Jemima Ann every day,
making the fur thy, until sister would
implore Charley to climb over the fence
to the field of battle, which was Sister
Snitfen's back garden, and bring him
home, when she bound up his wounds
and talked seriously to him about his
conduct.
The General died on the field of bat
tie ut last, for the butchers dog and
Jemima Ann set on him Mt once. and
poor sister sincerely mourned his loss,
while the rest of the family were very
much relieved.
One day the dear little thing ventured
herself on the battle-f field. She crept
through hole in the fence and trotted
away, singing to herself this pretty little
song:

THE YOUNG FOLKS.
Three Little Nest-BIrds.

We meant 20 be very kind;
hut ii ever VIZ find
Another SOFT graygrean, no@s-costed feather-linod
most in the hedge.
We have taken u pledge
Susan. Jenny, and with remorseful tarS, at thil
very minute,
That II there arc eggs OF l.ttlo birds In IL,
Robin or wren, thrush. ch2ilinch az lnn.t,
Won leave thsm thoro
To their mothers caro-.
There were three of Ms-Kate, and Susan, and
I don't know thss~ names. for they couldn't speak
Except with little imperative squeak
Exactly like Poll,
snsan's squeaking doll,
But squoaking dolls will lilo on the shelves
For years, and never squeak OF themselves.
The reason We like little birds much better than
tcys
Is because they are really alive and know how to
make u noise
There was three Of US and three of them;
kate-that is land Susan and Jop.
Our mother was busy making pie,
And theirs, We think, Was mp in tho sky;
But for all Susan, Jenny. or | can tell,
She may have been getting their dinner we'll
They were left to themselves (and so we're we)
In "A nest in the hedge by the willow tree,
And when caught sight of three red little
fuf-trfted. hszel-eysd open-inouthed, pink
throated heads, we all shouted for glee.
The way we really did wrong was this
We took them for mother to kiss.
And she told nv 10 put them back,
While out ON the weeping willow their mother was
crying, Alack ~
We really heard
Both what mother told us TO do and the voice Of the
mOther-bird.
But three-that is Susan and and Jem-
Thought we knew better than either of them;
And in spite of our mothers command and the poor
birds cry,
We determined to bring up her three little nestlings
ourselves on the sly.
We each took one,
1t 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, l thought, ''Poor darling pet"
Why shouldn't il have roast beef to cat?r
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 terrible thing to have heartache,
/ thought mine would break
As heard he mother-bird's moan,
And looked at the gray-green, moss-coated,
feather-lined nest she had taken such pains to
make,
And her three little children dead and cold as
stone.
Mother said, and it's sadly true,
There are some wrong things ono never
undo"
And nothing that We could do or say
Would bring life back TO the birds that day.
The btterest tears that we could weep
Wouldn't wake them out of their stifI cold sleep.
But them
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, moss-coverod, hower-lined grave
at the foot Of the willow-tree;
And all the leaves which its branches shed
We think are tears because they dead.

years stood playing on the wharf yester-
DAY, when one of them yelled "Throw
yonr hat in and I'll fetch it TO you."
No yon don't, Dutchy that's too
thin Eyes / 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
a passing steamer threw a swell on him
which cast him crashing against pile,
knocking the breath from him, and down
sank the limp and helpless BODY. A
brave fellow standing by saw all and
without a moments hesitation plunged
down and rescued the boy, but immedi
ately left before any one could learn his
name. Dutchy soon recovered, and his
first words were "Where's your hat,
Johnny ?"-DetroH Free Press.

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 no. boast of it, America
leads the world. In no other country
do the employers show such reckless
ness in trusting their affairs entirely to
subordinates, or subordinates such au-
dacity and teachery in profiting 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 III 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 so, 900 each in another month
he charged himself with a 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 500, 900, and calmly draw the
money on it. Whenever the muscles of
his hand became fiaccid from inertness,
he would stir them up by issuing these
notes. Mr.. Morris cleared 81, 000,0
the first three years of his business, and
Mr.. Erwin cleared with more than n
million during the next three.

THE American team of riilemen in lro-
land seem To bo the special favorites OF
victory. They not only carried OIL the
honors at the original match for the
championship, but one OF them won tho
Spencer cup, subsequently in match
at Thousand yards. The feeling in
spired even among the Irish people
seems 10 be that of generous enthusiasm,
though we 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.
