L g Helping Hand.

1t was more than fifty years ago that a
beggar named Anthony stationed himself
regularly at the Barrier de Passy, soliciting
aims from every passer-by with an astonish-
ing degree of pertinacity This spot was
not far from Paris; and nearly every Sun
day young man walked from that city to
take the diligence here, which conveyed
him to his mothers house in Versailles.
Anthony's opportunities were very annoy
ing. and to rid himself of these. rather than
with desire to help the beggar, he always
bestowed trifie in charity.
One day in the summer. on reaching the
barrier, he found Anthony, as usual. exer-
cising his lungs to the utmost, vociferating
loudly, sFor the love of heaven, bestow
your aims on poor man, messieurs ct
mesdames; the smallest trifie will be CRATE
fully received" In the midst of his out
cries a mlddle-aged gentleman stopped and
looked at him. The gentleman had pleas
ant face and was handsomely attired, and
the beggar instantly continued louder than
ever his proclamation of poverty and need
of help.
s'Mon Dieu." exclaimed the stranger,
''what are you making such noise for !;
there is no need of begging unless you
choose"
''Monsieur is pleased to Jest" replied
Anthony.
'.By no means: was nevermore serious,
returned the other. ''You lead an idle life,
and it is wrong"
s'But have no other means Of getting
my living" said Anthony.
"Are YOU lameln

''Are you blindi'

not dumb, as any one half a mile off can
testify. Now listen to lesson from my

exclamation point, in the shape of an en-
phatic forefinger, on the nose OF Anthony,
''my success came through honesty. All
can add is go thou and do likewise Here
is crown to begin with, it is more than
had; but if you prefer your present life, and
/ find you here next week, | shall report
you to the police
With this threat the stranger departed,
leaving the youth and the beggar in a state
of amazement Indeed the latter was sc
bewildered that he stood with the crown In
his hand, his eyes and mouth wide open,

gazing iE;ently at nothing. Suddenly he
darted away and was never again seen in
the guise of beggar
Many years after this the young man had
business in town, and strolling through the
city, he entered booksellers shop To pur-
chase book that had called forth consider
able criticism. Three or four young men
were busily engaged, while stout, well-ap-
pearing young man, was giving orders, with
the air of proprietorship.
His face was very familiar to the new
conner, but il was not until he spoke that
Anthony and the bookseller were discovered
to be identical. The recognition was
mutual. Anthony grasped the young mans
hand and led him back into a well-furnished
parlor, and then gave him his history, from
the time they parted at the barrier.
He said he had followed the strangers
advice, bought RACES with the crown, and
was prosperous. He finally became the
partner of paper manufacturer, and mar
ried his daughter, and could now count his
ten thousand a wear

was the only answer. Espartero then or
dered the regiment to be numbered off from
the right, and every twentieth nan to be
brought To the front and be prepared for
immediate execution. At this Il sergeant
stepped forward and named ten men as the
actual murderers of Escalera- These were
marched and placed in line with their
backs TO a broken wall, one only protesting
his innocence as he was dragged to the end
Of the line. Before the fatal volley was
fired he darted nimbly round the corner of
the wall and ran along the front of the
troops, but was recaptured, and taken back
to his allotted place. A voice from the
ranks cried out that they had the wrong
man, the real criminal being a soldier of the
same name in a hospital at Burgos. Espar-
tero ordered the man to be removed. while
the rest received their deserts. Upon in
quiry being made at Burgos, the guilty one
was found there, taken from the hospital
and shot, his namesake of course being set
free.

The Boy Shepherds of Nebraska

One pleasant day we rode 20 niles over
the Laramie plains. from Laramie City TO
the Little Laramie river, where we found a
prosperous sheep-raiser from Nebraska,
named Edward Farrell. We bade them
goodbye late in the afternoon, turned off
TO the right of Sheep mountain, and, enter
ing a narrow plain between high ranges of
hills, spurred forward our jaded animals,
until the gathering shadows warned US that
we could proceed no further with safety.
At daybrcak we spied large flock of sheep
in a corral close by rude cabin or dug out,
in which were two boys, sons Of Mr. Far
rell Here, ten miles OF more from home,
they had been tending flock of ,, 800 sheep
during the entire season They shot their
game with an old rifle, did their own cook
ing and lived entirely alone with their dogs
and two ponies employed in herding the
sheep. They alternated in watching the
sheep, which were driven into the corral
every night, as a protection against bears,
wolves and other wild animals. An ante
lope which one of them had shot the day
previous was suspended near the door of
the cabin. There was good range here,
and the father had in the springtime sent
the sheep and the boys to possess it. You
will be surprised when | tell you that these
lads, entrusted with the care Of over ?, 800
sheep, and living here in this remote, Sc
cluded spot, were only ii and Is years of
age 1t is astonishing, the early self-reli-
ance which these frontier children display,
and the skill which, as mere urchins, they
attain in herding sheep

Madison on the 23d instant. This
week We publish the proceedings of

ated and no better ticket could have
been made. It now remains to secure
the election Of the candidates.
