A TOUCHING SoENE.-We need not
seek among the select classes to discover
the finest poetry of sympathy. The Detroit
Free Press publishes this affecting instance
Of true feeling in the 'hearts of the lowly."
One day three or four weeks ago gamin
who seemed to have no friends in the world,
was run over by q vehicle on Gratiot Ave-
nue and, ,Gatally .ipjurcd.S After he had been
in the hospital for week, boy about his
own age and size, and looking US friondless
and forlorn, called to ask about him and to
leave an orange. He seemed much embar-
rassed, and would answer no questions.
After that he came daily, always bring
ing something, if DO more than an apple.
Last week when the nurse told him that
Billy had nochance to get well, the strange
boy waited around longer than usual, and
finally asked if he could go in. He had
been invjted to many times before but had
always refused. Billy, pale and weak, and
emaciatcd, opened his eyes in wonder at
the sightof the boy, and before he realized
who he was, tho stranger bent close to his
face and said, with moistened eyes:
"Billy can you forgive fellcr? We was
always fighting, and was allus too much
for ye,, but am sorry! 'Foro yc die won't
ye tell me ye haven't any grudge agin me ?"
Tho auQpg lad, thou utmost in, tho shad-
ow Of death, reached out his thir, white
arms, ;clasped them around the others neck,
and replied:
"Don't cry, Bob-don't feel bad ! was
ugly and mean, and was heaving q stone
at ye when the wagon hit me. If yell
forgive me I'll forgive you, and I'll pray for
both O us"
Bob was half an hour late the morning
Billy died when the nurse took him to the
shrouded corpse, he kissed the pale face
tenderly, and gasped:
"D-did he say anything about-about
me ?"
"He spoke of you justHRefore bsnlied-
asked if you were here, ~ piled the nurse
"And may go-go to the funeral?"
"You may"
And he did. He was the only mourner
His heart was the only one that ncbed.-
No tears were shed by. others, and they left
him sitting by the new made grave with
heart so big that he could not speak.
If, under the crust Of vice and Ignorance
) there are such springs of pure nobility, VIII,
should grow weary of doing good?

a Strange and rather solemn ceremony
took place few days ago at the Town of
Harrsonvillc, the county seat of Cass
County, Missouri. This was the burning of
large number of county bonds, known as
"thc bloody bonds" on account of the trag-
edy and crime. connected with them. They
were part Of a fraudulent issue made few
years ago, which. in the end, caused the
murder Of one of the county commissioners,
the suicide Of another, and state of t,r-
rorism which for.a time made the law pow
erlcss. Finally the county brought suit
for the recovery Of the fraudulent bonds,
the suit was successful and the bonds we're
ordered to be publicly burned. This was
done few days ago, in the presence of
concoursc of people, two persons, designated
for the purpose, calling off the numbers of
the bonds and the sheriff consigning them
to the flames As the last one was burned
the crowd sent up shout Of satisfaction
that justice had at last been done in the
matter of 'thc bloody bonds"

KEEP IN STEP 1!


["ThoSs who would walk together, must kecl
n step."-Oid Proverb.
Aye, the world keeps moving forward,
Like an army marching by;
Hear you'not its heavy football,
That resoundeth to the sky2
Some bold spirits bear tho banner
Souls of sweetness chant tho song
Lips OF energy and fervor ~
Make the mid-hearted strongl
Like brave soldiers we march forward,
If you linger Or turn back,
You must look to get q jostling
While you keep upon our track.
Keep in step!
Ny good neighbor, Master Standstill,
Gases ON it as it goes;
Not quite sure but he il dreaming,
In his afternoons repose!
"Nothing good" he says, lean issue
From this endless moving on;
Ancient laws or institutions
Are decaying or are gone.
We are rushing on to ruin,
With our mad, ncw-fangled ways
While he speaks, q thousand voices,
AS the heart of one man, says
"K,ep in step" !"
Gentle neighbor, will you join us,
Or return to .'good old ways?'
Take again the fig-leaf apron
or old Adams ancient days:
Or become O hardy freeman:
Beard the lion in his lair,
And lie down in dainty slumbsr,
Wrapped in skins of shaggy bear;
Rear the hut amid the forest,
Skim the wave in light canoe?
All see you do not like it.
Then, if these .'old ways" won't do,
Keep in step!
Be assured, good Master Standstill,
All wise Providence designed
Aspiration and progression
For the yearning human mind.
Generations left their blessings,
In the relics Of their skill
Generations yet are longing
For q greater glory still:
And the shades Of our forefathers
Are not jealous Of our deed
We but follow where they beckon,
We but 60 where they do lead
Keep in step!
One detachment of our army
May snenmp upon the hill,
While another, in the valley,
May enjoy its own sweet will
This may answer to one watch word,
That, may echo to another;
But in unity and concord
They discern that each is brother!
Breast to breast they're marching onward,
In good and peaceful way;
You'll be jostled, if you hinder,
So, don't offer let or stay
Keep in step!

RED OAK, March "a, 1873
EDITOR COURIER AS patron of
your enterprising journal ! am glad
to note the Independent manner in
which you give voice, through your
columns, to matters of local and gen.
eral import. Every locality has its
events of social, political, religious
and sensational natures and in these
several departments OF Mfe's phazes
Red Oak is blessed with its full share
Since the recent scandal that gave to
our city undue notoriety, her people
have put themselves on their good
behavior and the business and social
circles have resolved into that normal
condition which gives to enterprise
and morality that legitimate basis
which augurs q prosperous future for
our city. y 5N4
Among the notable events of q So
cial nature in this bailiwick, Of re-
cent occurrence, the most remarkable
came off at the residence of our es-
teemed fellow citizen, Capt. 9. L.
Manholtz, on Saturday evening last.
For the past eight years, Mr.. NJ. has
been an honored resident OF this city,
and for over twice that number of
years faithful employe of the Z. B.
u Q. Company. During this long
period of an eventful life he has
gathered around him many warm,
ardent friends, and a number of
them resolved to manifest their ap-
probation of his worth by some tam
gible token Of their high regard.
Pursuant to this resolve they
agreed to purchase one Of the best
fowling pieces that the genius and
skill Of the most expert gunsnfth
could create, hence they gave an or

paint Costs Nothing

Very few people realize the truth
of the Quaker proverb. Paint costs
nothing, was remark made to US by
q gentleman who had tried Gutta
Percha Paint and pronounced it to
be the best paint for all kinds Of work
inside or outside. II is composed
strictly of Pure White Lead, Linseed
oil, Zinc and Gutta Percha. The fact
that all of the Cable Telegraph wire
is coated with Gutta Percha, sufii.
GENTLY verifies the claims made of ita
tenacious and waterproof properties,
Those who use it will not fail to real.
ize the fact that they save more than
they expend on preserving whatever
they paint.
We desire to call the attention Of
our readers to the advertisement OF
the Gutta Percha Paint Co., to be
found in this paper, and refer them
to the we'll known and reliable firm

the second is to use thorough bred

A Fort Madison correspondent Of
the Keokuk Constitution says on Mon
day night prisoner by the name of
John Chancey, aged twenty-five, sent
here from Ottumwa in 1875 to serve
out twenty years sentence for the
crime of manslaughter, but whose
sentence was subsequently reduced
by the Supreme court to ten years
hard labor, sought to secure his re-
lease by taking his own life. He
tore his shirt in strips, and with this
bound his feet and hands, after hav-
ing fastened a strong cord about his
neck, secured to his cell door, then
throwing his body from the cot, took
a hanging position. It was some
time before his body was discovered
by the guard, but the cord was easily
cut from the outside, which done the
body fell to the cell floor. On his
being carried out, life was found not
to be extinct, but the man quite un.
conscious. On the laprel Of his coat
was found note which read as fol-
lows: ~.
"Christian friends, have pity on me
when am gone don't want to live
any more; am suffering too much
God forgive me- He was cared for
by Mr.. John Lyman, the hospital
steward, and in short time returned
to consciousness. Chancey made a
bold dash for liberty two years ago,
but was apprehended. Since thil
time he has been q hospital loafer'
His effort to go out first alive and se-
condly dead, being defeated, will
doubtless reconcile him to his fate
without further attempt TO defeat the
state out of his remaining years.
