A Child Attacked by Horses.

A child only seventeen months old,
the son of a family named Keister, living
about seven miles from Oshkosh, Wis,
was in the habit of running at liberty
about the house, barn and premises.
He was missed one morning for few
moments, and cry was heard from him
in the direction Of the pasture, only q
few rods from the house, in which was
q drove of several horses. His parents
found the child behind small stone
pile, in horribly nangled condition,
with the herses treading and stamping
upon him. He was carried bleeding and
almost insensible to the house. The
indications are that the child was kicked
and then paved and tread upon by the
horses. Nearly the whole of one side Of
the face was laid bare, and furrow was
left in the skull, probably from shoe
cork. The other cheek was badly mutt
lated, and deep and ghastly looking
cut appeared ON the top of the head.
A mutilation near the eyes showed how
near the ANIMALS hoofs came to knock
ing out those organs. Other parts OF
the body were more or less bruised, ns If
paved and stepped upon.

Thoughts for Saturday Night.

Glory is so enchanting that we love
whatever we associate with it, even
though it be death.
Gifts are as gold that adorns the
temple; grace is like the temple that
sanctifes the gold.
True gladness doth not always speak
Joy bred and born but in the tongue is
weak.
Nations and men are only the best
when they are the gladdest, and deserve
heaven Hhen they enjoy it.
He is the best gentleman that is the
son of his own deserts, and not the
degenerated heir of another's virtue.
When true genius appears in the
world you may know him by this sign
that the ounces are all in confederacy
against him.
He seldom lives frugally who lives by
chance. Hope is always liberal, and
they that trust her promises make little
scruple of reveling to-day upon the
profits of tomorrow.
Always win fools first. They talk
much; and what they have once uttered
they will stick to whereas there is
always time, up to the last moment, to
bring before wise man arguments which
may entirely change his opinion.
Darwin says that we are less dazzled
at the light at waking, if we have been
dreaming of visible objects. Happy are
those who have dreamt of higher
vision. They will the sooner be able to
endure the glories of the world to come.
Oh, poverty! or what is called a reverse
of fortune! Among the many bitter in
gradients thou hast in thy most bitter
cup, thou hast not one SO unexpectedly
bitter as that which brings as in close
and hourly contact with the earthenware
and huckaback beings of the neither
world. Even the vulgarity of inanimate
things it requires timeto get accustomed
to but living, breathing, bustling,
plotting, planning, human vulgarity is a
species of moral epecacuanna, enough
to destroy any comfort.

The Hero.

The cannons all were silent, the bugle ceased to
sound,
And many a valiant warrior lay ifeless on the
ground;
For night had forced an armistice upon the
eager foes,
And all around was quietness, save where the
cry arose
From wounded and from dying, or when the
war horse neighed,
For man and beast alike had felt the keenness
of the blade.
And now lonely maiden is searching DER the
plain,
For she would find her lover, to kiss if he be
slain;
To tend his wounds if wounded, to bath his
aching head;
And still she weeps, for much she fears he's
numbered with the dead.
For hours she wanders slowly, and looks at
every face,
TIL. weary, sad and foot-sore, she leaves the
horrid place.
But where, oh, where's her hero? For his
country has he died?
And was he foremost in the 6ght-the bravest
on his side?
She walked till nearly daybreak, in sad and
pensive mood,
When suddenly the lost one before the maiden
stood.
JOY! Joy he had not perished! Ere was the
fight begun,
The owner of that gallant form had turned
about and run

Biiah Soothes a Lost Child.

No human being in this big world can
equal Biiah in soothing lost child;
When the reporters got down they found
that some of the officers had been vainly
trying for an hour to quiet four-year-
old boy who was temporarily lost to his
distressed parents.
"Here, gimme that young 'un," de-
manded Bijah, as he finished sweeping.
"Now, my little cherry-blossom-angel-

cuddle close to this loving breast and let
me rock and sing. I'll have you asleep
in ten ticks of brass watch, and bime-
by your dear mother will come rushing
in and pallidly disclaim Where, on !
where is my lost darling Fitznoodie +!
Now let me sing"
And he sang:
"Peter, Peter, pumpkin eater,
The stars arc out tonight, love;
The pen il mightier than the sword,
And I'll bet on the Russian army"
The boy died-no, he fell asleep. He
had to fall asleep or die, and he slept:
It wasn't five minutes before he was laid
away on an old overcoat to dream OF

FEMALE EDUcATIoN.-Keep as much
as possible in the grand and comm N
road of life; patent educations or habits
seldom succeed. Depend upon 1t, men
set more value on the cultivated minds
than on the accomplishments of women,
which they are rarely able to appreciate.
1t is common error, but it is an error,
that literature units women for the every
day business of life. 1t is not so with
men. You see those of the most culti-
waited minds constantly devoting their
time and attention to the most homely
objects. Literature gives women a real
and proper weight in society, but they
must use it with discretion.
