DESPISED AND REJECTED OF MEN.

After all, it is not easy to be sympa-
theticailv interested i'll boy to whom
you have explained fifty times that two
and two can't mako five, and then to
say fog the fifty-iirst time, that it docs:
or, if he catches the warming shake Of
your aching head, rs he is droning out
FL" To have him droop, in his dull
way, and say, Il d'n know" Then, too
when his clothes arc so dirty that per
sons with delicate stomachs turn away
from him with il shuddcring ugh I"
now can any one think Of him, Tom
Dolan and his like, all over the world,
rs any portion of those the Master
meant when he said, Feed my lambs%
Dear, no. Itsccms almost irrcvcrcnt
to think of lambs in such Il connection.
One might think of a cur. or whelp, or
brute, but never lamb.
So it's not to be wondered ut that
Miss Wilton, the teacher, did not love
Tom; especially, rs studying being a
thing utterly beyond his comprchcn-
sion, and playing something he did
measurably understand, he was a
troublesome boy.
Don't YOU see that when boy has no
idea what you mean when You say
''stndy," and yet has Il very definite
idea Of the manufacture and use Of
paper wads, he is much more likely to
neglect the studying, while ne make the
boys in front hop lively cxhilarat.
ing process to him?
As bad name sticks, when once it Is
fastened on IL boy or man, all the mis-
chief that could not be directly traced
to some other scholar, was laid to Toms
charge. So he was punished many
time when he had only been asleep, or
stupidity drawing pictures on his desk
with forcfnger dampened with saliva.
One day James White scattered snuff
around SO that the occupants of half
dozen benches were set to sncezing yio-
iently.
Nothing could exceed tho falsely ac-
cused, martyr-likc expression Of Jims
face, when asked if he knew anything
about it. He never said Tom did it.
He was above telling tales of school
mate. But he glanced at Tom, who sat
near by, as much us to say, Poor Tom!
He don't know any better than to do
such things
So Miss Wilton asked Joe Smith, who
didn't know nothin' about it, and Tim
Benton, Jim Whites crony, who didn't
know, but guessed Tom done it. She
went back to Tom, and finding q paper
Of snuff il his desk, She whipped him
9eyerely-frst for bringing tho snuff 70
school, and then for telling Il lie.
After the punishment, vcariously yet
unwillingly borne, Tom rubbed into his
face still more dirt from his filthy Jacket
sleeve, to which he always transferred
his tears.
Perhaps this made him look more ag-
yravating than usual when, school being
dismissed, lie doomed his very dilapida-
ted straw hat At any rate Joe Smith
thought it would be rare sport to set on
fire .he loose straw sticking up from
Toms frowzy head % AZ to lot some
light into his skull" he said.
When Tom found where the smell Of
smoke came from, he snatched off his
nat with wild scream Of terror, and
ran into the woods, where flowed a noisy
brook. The idea that the silly creature

This is the question on everybody's
tongue and this community ought not
to rest, day nor night, until that ques-
ton IS answered If there is any POSSIBLE
ity of ferreting out the. culprit. The
wretch who could deliberately destroy
public building in which the Whole
town has an interest; put every other
building in the place in jeopardy; de-
stroy 4 newspaper office and valuable
library; put the stock Of goods belong
ing to 4 widow lady in imminent peril
and intiict severe loss upon her, and in
volve innocent non residents IN a loss
Of several thousands of dollars, ought
to have term at Saltwater if ever a
rascal deserved such a fate.
It is the duty of every citizen to help
ferret out the guilty party, without fear
or favor. If any one has possession of
any fact tending to definitely fix the
guilt, it is the duty Of such person to
come forward with the fact. If Wor-
thington allows this outrage to pass
without a thorough investigation and
Il determined effort to probe it to the
bottom, we deserve to he called the
weakest set of imbeciles in the State
and should ask the commonwealth to
appoint US a guardian.

TRAGIC END or 4 BACHELOR
BY A GIRL.

After listening to a few words of
warning and solicitation by the oftici-
ating clergyman, who was to admins
ter spiritual consolation t. the doomed
man, our sympathies were aroused, and
we were prepared to forgive the GRIM
inal (?) When the doors opened wide
and the advance guard appeared, show
ing plainly by their unconcerned way
that they had been there before. Tie
sentenced man then came walking hesi-
tating!y and solemnly, bearing the
weight of conviction, with his comp IN
ion in grief leaning upon his arm. One
would not judge 10y his countell.l,ce
that his act WAS inspired by malice, hut
more Ivy love. AS they ascended the
platform and the executioner produced
the document, giving evidence that no
clenlency would be exercised III his be-
half, his cheek blanched, his frame
shook, and he looked as though lie
might be taking it much to heart. But
his conscious il nOcence, which had all
along kept him up prevailed, and he
became calm, rs was his companion.
AS the solemn words, Il pronounce
you husband and wife; those whom God
lnat!, joined together let not man put
asumtler," were uttered. they swung off
into the matrimonial vo ID without a
struggle. So ended the days of bach
elor. Farewell! Your friends will
meet you 10 more in the haunts of bach
elordom. Though you may never re-
turn to them, they lave the consolation
Of knowing that if they do their duty
they MAY go to you. AvRE REA.
