Thrse little ones, not loug ago,
We're blessed With parents mili.
Who watched them with parental care,
And loved each happy child.
But sad the tale have to tell
To death ws all must bow
And bitterly they've learned this truth,
For ths y are orphans now.
The father Of these children lay
Upon a bed Of pain;
But hope grew brighter every day,
That he'd revive again,
Bur, at. the hostile ssvages
Came with s.eal,hy troad,
And more like demons than like men.
They murdered him in bed.
Their mother saw her husband slain.
Ard bravely faced the toe.
And with an instrument of de.th,
She laid the murderer low
Their weapons then were turned on her.
Mid many a savage yell.
Aud, wounded by fatal ball.
The mother, bleeding. fell.
This noble boy who stands by me.
Then barred his youthful breast,
And said. "You have my parents slain.
Pray, kill me with the rest"
Three times the chief bis rife tried
To kill him on the spot.
Then said, "Brave boy. you'll have 10
For kill you can not"
The chief told him that ne might 60,
Aud from the others hide:
Instead Of this. he nobly sought
His dying mothers side.
Said he. Dear mother. ere you die,
Pray let me hear from you.
Whatever you would have me try
And with the children do"
The mother blessed her noble boy.
And said, IL soon shall die;
These little ones leave to you.
To save them will you try ?"
'If 'tis your wish my mother dear,
I'll Try and find some plan;
If you will bid them go with me.
III save them if can"
Ills >lster, nUu ms DiOtntI, too,
From house to house he led.
In hopes to find some neighbor; but.
Alasl they all had fled;
But taking hold the hand OF each,
He every danger braved;
Aud by his forti'ude alone,
Thank heaven, they all are saved.
He's proved that through his youthful
veins.
4 noble current runs:
America may we'll be proud
OF such courageous sons.
Go on, brave boy, fame waits for thee;
Go on. be not afraid.
For It's of such brave hearted lads
Onr gre>t,st men are made.
Dear friends. have 3 word with yon:
Behold this NOBLE youth!
OF him and Of these little ones.
I've told you but the truth
They've Glanced to come among you
nov.
Aud in the time OF need.
And you, dear friends, in aiding them.
Have done noble deed.

Wages and Cost Of Living.

A table OF wages and cost OF living, with
the price of staple articles Of commerce, &C
ing back as far as the year 1900 has been
published lately. It shows that wages dur
ing the thirteenth century were about 20
cents e week. In the next century they ad-
vaneed some fifteen cents, and continued to
advance Owly until, in the last century,
they had resched 81 81. The average for
farm labor at present ia 50 so. per week.
Wheat in the thirteenth century averaged IL
cen.s, or eIghtand half days labor bushel.
Now wheat. is worth " holesale, about 81 .46
bushel. or two snd hslt days labor. In
six centuries meat hiss nearly trebed in price;
but wages have increased more than seven
told, Thus it will be perceived that the Inn
provoment in pay for labor, while 1t may bet-
ter the l4borer's condition, does not tend to
increase his contentment. Subsistence Is
certainly easier than OF old, though the la
borer is not satisfied to live as bis ancestors
lived, II iswith him as it is with all OF us
bis desires have augmented more rapidly
than the means to crafty them. Oar wants
are innumersble. and, to large extent, arti-
fetal. Luxuries, as they were once consider
ei haYe grown to be necessities. We think
sometimes that we can dispense with nee g.
stiles, but Injuries are essential not only TO
our conlentment, but to any tolersbls de-
gree of well, being.

A New View of Immigration.

White migration has generally been
regarded in the United States as a good
thing for the country, even when it con
sisted of class possessing little or no
capital beside their strength and willing
ness to employ it in honest work. But
recently quite different view OF the
subject appears to have developed itself
in certain quarters.
Paterson On. j. is thriving manu-
featuring city, Astounding in extensive
paper mills, silk mills and other indus
tries, for the carrying on of which the
magnificent water power furnished by
the Passaic river can be made available.
1t maintains very large manufacturing
population, which finds employment in
these mills. Within the last three
months that population has been aug
mented by the arrival of some 1000
English immigrants, many Of them
weavers seeking employment in the silk
mills 1t appears from the New Jersey
papers that the new corners are re-
garded with hostility by the resident
weavers, who fear that they will reduce
the rate of wages to the English stand
ard, result which most certainly they
are not likely to desire, inasmuch as
their object in seeking a new home was
to better their condition. Nevertheless
we note that several journals in com
menting upon this influx of skilled la
Dor express the same fear, and speak of
Surplus immigration" as an evil to be
guarded against.
Such fears are, however, idle. The
time is yet far distant when this class Of
immigrants can be regarded as an evil
The local department of Paterson jour
nal, which editorially expresses this
kind of apprehension, records the fact
that the arrival of these English work
ingmen las already given a great i'm
petus to building in the town and its
suburbs, and that small dwelling houses
for their accommodation are going up in
every direction. This fact is proof that
there is room for the newcomers in Pat
erson, otherwise they would scarcely
prepare to make the place their home. -

Connecticut Country Towns.

A correspondent of the Troy Times
has been visiting town in Connecticut
and writes The editor has shown me
over the place, and as we came to the
end of No of the five streets, the
conundrdm of it all grew too much for
me to hold. "Will you Just explain
this riddle of burgh 2 | cried 81 ook
at it. Here are 1900 people, alive-at
least measurably alive-good for three
meals day, and now, all in sound
houses with spacious gardens or lawns
and the lawns kept UP, too-and gen
orally a barn and stable; and every
house, and barn and stable, and fence and
pump, and hoe handle painted so white
it makes you ache to look at it, Now
meals, and houses, and repairs, and
lawns, and horse feed, and tons of white
paint, cost money. And the butcher
and the baker and the mechanics are
paid, too-otherwise they couldn't afford
white paint, and would die of shame.
Connecticut is full of these sleepy
towns, and they all pay their way.
Now, how do they do it These folks
can't all be retired wooden nutmeg mer

money by looking at each other, any
more than kept-in-school boys can get

Solomon in all his glory never had
three coats of white paint on his front

how the mischief do they do itF Here

lucid explanation. There was slight
pause instead. well. | don't know
myself said the editor. Lets ask the
statesman and find out" The statesman
stood on the Bacon House porch as We
came home, and we asked him, and
brsced our brains for the rush of in
formation to come. The statesman
stopped minute, and let the question
soak slowly through his short Roman
curls; then a luminous theory rose,
cleaned and died in his deliberate gray
eye, and then lifting the antique cameo
known as his head, and looking even
more like the twelve Cssars than usual
'f-dont -quite-know-myself," said
the statesman.

Returned to its owner.

Since the DAYS of Ben Franklin and
the generation Immediately following,
it has been supposed that az umbrella is
common property. Within the memory
of the oldest man living, these has been
found no exception to the rule until last
week, when Dr. Warren Frazier. was on
his way to st. Louis, and, CHANGING to
put his umbrella down in the depot Of the
Ohio and Mississippi Railroad at Gin
cinnati for moment, returned and found
it gone He made diligent search, but
left without finding it. To his astonish-
ment, when he returned home he found
awaiting him letter from p. W. Viii
iiams, of Aurora, Ind, stating that he
had taken it for his own, and had not
discovered the mistake until he reached
home, where he CHANGED to open i. and
found the Doctors name in it. He asked
what should be done with it, and when
advised sent it per express, prepaid.
This is an extraordinary variation of the
prevailing umbrella ethics Of the country,
and deserves commentator. the

He Knew it All.

A politician who had been on terms
of intimacy with actors and artists, is

"Why, don't you know met I'm"

the official. "You have come to-
