OUR HOUSEHOLD DARLING.
From the Tazoo City Herald.1

Up and down the alley in the early morn
Waking up the sleepers with harp and drum
and horn,
Singing. Laughing, crying, fun of fun and joy,
" THAT jolly thing ii Is 10 be a little hoy
Out among the flowers, breaking OF their
stalks
Ger forbidden places fearIessly he walks.
Always in some mischief whether late or early,
Everybody scoids him yet loves him dearly,
Splinters IN his fingers bruises on his toes,
Digging. hopping, skipping, all day long he
goes.
Never seeming tired from days early peep
Till worn out with playing at last he falls
asleep.
Now l sit and listen, but listen all in vain,
His drum aud harp will never disturb my
sleep SgaIn-
The house and yard are silent, the flowers are
lett alone
The alley is all silent, our little boy is gone !
The Beautiful from this poor life is fed,
Our household pet, our darling boy, is dead I!
Brief was LIES journey for our little man,
Bat three short summers was his earthly
span,
And yet we all had learned to love him So
It broke our hearts 10 let the darling go.
What would give if ! could hear once more
His little teet come pattering to my door
lis said in Alpine regions cold
When shepherds wish to take their fold
Above the snow and glaciers sheen
Where pastures smile in living green,
They take the lambkins of the flock
And carry them Ger ice and rock,
Aud then the rest will follow where
Their little ones in safety are.
And thus the Heavenly Shepherd comes
And takes our dearest from our homes,
And bears them gently on his breast
To the bright fields of love and rest
The fairest flower the Spring has nursed,
Is born to pale and perish first,
And children whom the Lord loves best,
Are soonest gathered to his breast.
We try TO follow up the steep,
All Christ, as Thou didst once we weep.
Thy tears were shed for other woe,
While ours for our own sorrows flow
We sink beneath Affections rod
But we are mortal, Thou art God.
Our limbs are weak and travel sore,
The road is hard and tempests lower.
The spirit longs to scale the height
Where dwell our lambs in fields of light,
The flesh is weak, and day by day,
We faint and falter by the way,
But this we know to us is given
To always have a child in heaven.

A Widows Romance.

The has been a new sensation in St. Pc
tersburg. A young widow, left penniless,
tried her utmost to make a living, but
Stunning the name of her deceased husband,
she changed her dress for that OF a man,
procuring employment in a factory, and
worked there for years undiscovered and
contented. BY and by she met young
lady who was maltreated by her parents,
and, In order to save her from further per
seecution, proposed marriage, after having
informed her of her sex. The wedding was
duly performed in a church in st. Peters
burg, and the pair lived happily until the
facts were discovered and exposed. The
pair was arrested and committed for trial !;
but the Judges were puzzled by case which
had mot been forseen by Russian law, and
it has been sent to the Senate for decision.

REMEDIES FOR MONEY COLLECTED.
Sections 1899 and 1872 Code 1871, are so
amended as to authorize summary proceed

FROM JUSTICE COURT.


Appeals in civil cases are to be taken with
in five days from the rendition of judgment,
and as provided by 1882, Code 1871, except
that no affidavit is to be required.
1.-The party praying such appeal shall give
bond with security to be approved by said
justice, payable to the opposite party in the
penalty of double the amount of the Judgment
or double the value of the property involved,
and all costs accrued and likely to accrue in
the case, and in no case to be less than one
hundred dollars. 3 1852.
Under the present law, the appeal bond re-
quired is two hundred dollars in all cases If
the judgment appealed from is small. this
bond would be too large. On the other hand,
the judgment and costs might be more than
two hundred dollars. Hence the reason for
the amendment as to the amount of the
bond.
The strict requirement as to the oath Of the
appellant never served any beneficial purpose,
and was therefore wisely omitted.
Sections 1888 and 1884, Code 1871, as to the
proceedings and judgment in appeal cases in
the circuit court. are in substance re- enacted.
