On the first day of April last there were
in the city five thousand nine hundred and
forty-four youths between the ages of 4 and
81. In the duty of educating these children
we must not falter. The day and the duty
cannot be divorced. We cannot postpone
and resume this duty at pleasure. The in
tellect must be educated as it natures, as the
lost opportunity cannot be reclaimed. What
is put into the first of life goes
into the whole of life. Education is the
foundation of all the moral virtues and
the social graces. In an uneducated
community, property has no value, social
order no stability, and religion dwindles into
superstition. Here l may be allowed to

SABBATH MORN IN THE COUNTRY.


How still the morning Of the hallowed dayl
Mute is the voice Of rural labor, hushed
The plowboy's whistle and the milkmads song,
And the wish Is general that they might stay hushed
The scythe lies gllttering in the dewy wreath
OF tedded grass, with faded flowers,
That yestermorn bloom'd waving in the breeze;
And when the old man comes along
And finds 1t there, he will startle the quiet
or the hallOwed day with shouts and rOars
And takings on of one kind and another
That will make hired man sink Into his boots.
Sounds the most faint attract the ear-the hum
or early bee looking for some one to sting,
The trlckling of the (mountaln) dew glug, glug,
Glug, gluggerty, guggerty, glug, glugl
The distant bleatng, midway up the hill,
OF the heart-broken goat when he first discovers
That he cannot climb tree
To him that wanders DER the upland leas,
With bis shotgun on his shoulder,
The backbird's note comes meower from the dale
And sweeter from the sky the gladsome lark
Marbles his heav'n tuned song; the lulllng brook
Murmurs more gently down the deep.worn glen,
While from yon roof whose curling smoke
oermounts the mist, is heard, at intervals,
The voice OF psalms, the simple song Of praise,
And the hired girl swearing at the cook-stovel

THE CRIME OF A '' LITTLE BOY ''
IN OHIO.

1t has remained for small boy In Ohio to COM
NIT the monumental crime Of the year-one
which places, we may say, the civilization of Ohio
far below that of Texas. At Waynesvile, Warren
county, small town about fifty miles north of
Cincinnati, lived q Mrs. HATTIE, widow thirty.
five years of age, She had been divorced from a
former husband named Anderson and had living
with her son named Willie, the product of her
first marriage. On the Goth Of August hel sister,
Mrs Weeks, Of Cincinnati, came up to visit her,
bringing with her young daughter, The boy
Willie was bright, dutful fellow and the money
he earned In the village printing Office was the
main support Of Mrs. HATTIE After the arrival of
the visitors from Cincinnati the house of Mrs.
HATTIE was closed and Willie gave out that the
folks had gone to Cincinnati, After the lapse of
week people passing the house observed hor.
rible smell. Finally the Town Marshal broke
open the door and discovered the dead bodies Of
two women and the little girl lying there In an
advanced stage OF decomposition. Mrs, Hates
skull had been crushed In, apparently with q
blow from hatchet, and her body was found ly.
ing under the bed with much Of her face eaten
away by the rats; Mrs. Weekss throat had been
cut while she was lying on the bed and the little
girl stabbed In the breast while lying on pallet
on the floor, where she slept. The house was in
the utmost disorder, blood being smeared over
the beds and hoor, though bag Of lime had been
brought in, evidently since the commission of the
crime and emptied on the floor, to act as q disin.
fectant ard absorb the odOr of the decsying flesh.
The boy Willie the undoubted author OF the
crime, went to Cincinnati Just before this discOV.
cry hunted up his father. slept with him all night
at hotel without referring to anything unusual
In connection with the family at Waynesville.
Next morning he went to the Little Miami Rail.

into water tank.
