Dime Novels.

The influence of dime novel literature
is very apparent in the city of New
York. Every once in while the police
run across nest of boys who have
banded together for the purpose of COM
hitting crimes of one kind or another.
Lately, band Of these young criminals,
who had their headquarters about the
Grand Central depot, was captured.
The leader is about fifteen years of age,
and the ages of the boys who make up
this band range between seven and nine
years. They amused themselves in
picking pockets and in robbing school
children. This band had bound itself
together by most horrible oath, the
form of which they found in one of these
pernicious dime novels. There is law
against the sale of impure and obscene
literature, and there ought certainly to
be a law prohibiting the sale of dime
novels, and Of all literature of the dime
novel class. These pernicious stories
which raise thieves, robbers and muir
derers to the dignity of heroes, and
which make crime more attractive than
virtue are powerful agents in increasing
the number of our criminals. Certainly,
something ought to be done to keep the
minds of our boys from being poisoned.

Several old crones were assembled in
Grace McDonagh's kitchen, drinking
her health and that of her newborn
daughter. who had just been dressed,
and was laid down 10 sleep at the foot
of the bed. 4 tribe of brothers and
sisters were packed into the large bed in
the inner room; but poor Grace was as
well pleased with the ugly, red-faced
newcomer as if she had been her only
child.
A kind mother. excellent wife, and

chimney-eorner drank her health very
heartily, and wished Joseph McDonagh

An EPISODE OF WAR.

In his wind skaken tent the soldier sits.
Beside him flares an oil-lamp srnokily,
Whose dim light glooms and fiickers on the
sheets
OF rustIing paper that with eager eyes
And heart. inten, he reads. Now with a smile
The fiaxen- bearded ssnburnt face lights up
4 smile that IN the smiling breeds pain
Within his warming heart: the gentle hand
That thos'. sweet, loving words hath traced,
will he
Ever again IN his protecting clasp
Enfold IL; Who can tell He can but kiss
With WILD intensity the page that hand
Hath touched. Each line. each word read and
re-read.
At last there Is no more With swimming eyes
He looks, and drinks her name into his soul.
Yet see those lines with pencil widely ruled.
Where largely sprawl big letters helplessly;
What do they say those baby characters,
when will You come home agains
MY own dear papa
His stronger hand trenbes. and the hot tears
burn
In his blue eyes. and blur the struggling
words.
What need 10 see? The words are stamped
upon
His heart, and his whole soul doth feel them
there.
The wind On gusty wings sweeps by, and 10,
With its wild voice, his child's sweet treble
minRles
In accents family clear:
Loved Papa,
"When will you come home again?
My own dear papa"
And now his head is bowed into his hands,
His brave heart for moment seems to climb
Into his throat and choke him. Harki what
sound
Thus sharply leaps among, and slays the sad
Wind voices of the autumn night, with shrill
And sudden blas;s The bugle- call ''To arms :"
And startled sleepers ut its fierce appeal,
Half dreaming clutch their swords, and gasp
ing wake,
How many soon TO sleep again in death,
And onthat fathers heart the pealing cry
Strikes cold IS ice. though soldier there's none
drawer,
For still above the bugle's thrilling breath
That pleading child voice sweetly calls:
Loved Papa,
When will YOU come home again?
My own dear papap'
Across rough hillside the light of dawn
Doth coldiy creep, with ruthless torch reveal

All that by darkness had been hid, and there
Amongst the stalwaTt forms that stiffenng lie
Upon TIE blood soaked ground, where they
lie thickest
There j. one found. the flaxen hair and beard
Dark dyed with gore, n bullet in his heart
A crumpled paper in his hand was clutched
Some childish writing by his life blood
stained.

them now:
