why Children are Punished.

First Mother. "Now that baby is
getting old enough to understand; you
ought to punish her when she is
naughty" o fss sTg gsa' -,
Second Mother. Sc In what wayi"
"By slapping her hands or spanking
her" =,
"strike my darling! II would kill
mo to do such q thing 10
"But if you don't punish her she viii
ride over you rough-shod." -.
CT think not; at any rate, wait and
see. Still, I would rather she should
be spoiled child than I should do as
you suggest. It don't do children any
good to whip them"
"Well, at least IL is q relief TO Us
when they are willful and aggravating.'
"That's just my idea. It is because
mothers cannot control their anger that
they become incensed against their little
ones and treat them so. Whipping is
sort of safety valve to their feelings. A
true mother should restrain herself,
even when provoked. An angry woman
cannot act Justly, but may often do cruel
things, which she will afterwards keenly
regret" 4. 49,.

A Load Of Hay.

The innocence and childlike simplicity
of some people is shown by the story
described in an Anoka (Minn. paper, as
follows: As William Mogle, of this
city, was on his way to Minneapolis he
overlook man from Hennepin county
with load OF hay on which were two
large sized women. A short distance
this side of Minneapolis the hay man
stopped his team, and Mr.. Mogle OBJ
served that he was vigorously digging
hole in the hay. Mr.. Mogle drove on
and passed him, and on looking back
the women were no longer visible. The
two teams entered Minneapolis about
the same time, the load of hay was
driven at once on the scales and weigh
cd, and as the driver had turned cor
ner the women emerged from their re-
treat. Somebody paid for those women
at the rate of $40 per ton.

A Question Of Brains.

A laughable occurrence took place at
a session of court not long ago. Two
lawyers were opposing each other in
the conduct of suit, one OF whom was
decidedly large, physically, and the
other was q little fellow, but very sharp.
During one Of the sparring engagements
of the learned counsel, the large man
looked contemptuously upon the small
one, and with majestic voice & SAID ID: {;
"Why, I could swallow ,. 20, !, without n,;ss
greasing you and not hall ery. Yaaea
as thought his antagonist replied +:
"Well, i you should, you would have
more brains in your stomach than you
ever had in your head" The mirth in
the courtroom was somewhat e1trava-
CANT about this time, and after that the
large man was not 50 much disposed to
efforts for the taking down OF the little
fellow. ".

mansion was to be sold. He had taken
great pride in his home thousand
tender associations were connected with
every room. Now, with heavy heart,
he wandered through the deserted apart
ments. Here was Margaret's piano !;
the harp he had given her the pictures
and statues they had chosen together !;
every article appeared like anold friend.
Then q feeling of intense desolation
crept over him-he was 30 utterly lonely.
The strong spirit was almost crushed.
He threw himself upon the bed and
wept like child. A quiet step upon
the stairs, q rustic of silken robes, a
glad cry, then clinging arms were twined
about his neck, soft cheek was pressed
to his, tangled golden curls mingled
with his dark locks. Was it dream 7
He pressed her close to make sure of
the reality, and kissed her with such
passionate fervor that Margaret wept for
Margaret, my wife-Margaret !"
he sobbed.
"Oh, John, how cruel you were to
send me away! I'll never leave you
again, darling"
When they had both regained calm.
uess, John Graham explained to his wife
that the next day the house was to be
sold-he could not take her into lodg-
iugs-perhaps she had better return to
her mother. But Margaret firmly re-
fused.
"Any place that is good enough for
you, John, is good enough for me. My
place Is with you. I can assist you
more than you think, she said.
Then Margaret commenced the battle
of life in earnest. 1t is not easy to turn
from life of pleasure and luxury to one
of comparative poverty. Margaret at
first did not find her path strewn with
roses; there We're difficulties to be en-
Q ,untered; sights to be endured, ease
to be sacrificed; but she had brave
heart, and love had changed the gay,
careless girl into the tender, self-sacri-
ficing woman. She became her hus-
bands closest friend, his best adviser,
the sympathizing confdant OF all his
plans, ever ready to cheer in moments
of depression-the first to rejoice in his
success.
John Graham is wealthy man again
now; success has crowned his efforts /;
but he ever blesses the adversity which
taught him to know the real value OF
his wife.
So Margaret found her mission as q
devoted wife and mother, much to her
mothers amazement; and John Graham
found he had married not q pretty but
terhy of fashion, but en- earnest, loving
woman.

THROUGH long ages the Jewish peo-
Pile were objects of persecution, cs.
teemed to possess no rights which
others were bound to respect. Under
the free constitution of the United
States they find all this changed. They
are the peers in the exercise of social
and political rights of the best of their
fellow citizens, with the privilege to
claim and the intelligence to fill the
highest Offices in the government.
They arc not unmindful of these bless
ings, and to commemorate their apprc-
citation are having colossal statue
prepared of Religious Liberty" in
tended as gift to the nation, and the
formal presentation of which will be-
fore long take place in Washington.
The sculptor of this splendid statue is
Mr.. Ezekiel. 1t is described in an
eastern journal as follows: The figure
is that of America; her right arm is
outstretched as sign of shelter and
protection to a youth, typifying Reli
gion, who stands close by her side,
holding in uplifted hand cup con-
tanning the sacred fire. The left hand
of America rests upon the Laws of the
United States, which give religious
liberty to all her SONS. The expression
of the face, which is turned toward the
youth, is benign and sympathetic.
Around the brow is circlct of golden
stars representing the thirteen origi-
nal States, while ut the feet of the
statue the American eagle, with it's
talons on the throat of Intolerance.
stands watchful, ready to swoop down
op.~any new foe that may menace
the Republic.

cured the Mormon vote. Qrery:
Haw did he secure II? Did they

him? but the sequel proved that he
had not secured it, as he claimed, for
they voted for Haily.
Now, if they sold the Major out it
is no wonder he hates low vulgarity

FRoM THE BLACK HILLS Mr. John

for publication. tits dated Sept. 28d
/ arrived in Deadwood on the first
of May The best ground has been
lgobbled up by Montana men. Three
hundred feet is allowed i'll each dis
trict. There are many paying dig,
gings in Deadwood, a few in Black
Tail, Bob Tail and in Gold Run.
These four districts constitute the
good diggings in the Black Hills. |
believe / am safe in saying that there
are not seventy-fve good claims all
told, although claims paying small
wages are quite plentiful, the owners
of which, if asked to sell, wanting two or
three prices. They value their claims
too highly for anyone to buy at pres
emf. There are no bar diggings or
hill diggings, and one might as well
say no creek diggings-nothing IN
fact but gulch diggings, and the best
of them worked out, although times
will be pretty lively next summer
Wages are four and FIVE dollars per
day. This climate appears to be an
unhealthy one, at least there has been
much sickness, and nearly everybody
is complaining.
With regards to coming to this
country, my advice would be, taking
everything into conslderation-the
danger of getting in here and now 50
late in the fall--to not think of COM
ing until next spring, as there will be
nothing whatever doing this winter.
Tow Savage is doing very we'll.
Bill Kelly is here and has bought into
a claim, but is not doing very well.
Willie Nelson has also bought into a
claim, and is doing tolerably we'll.
