THE BABES IN THE WOODS.

In Norfolkshire there did reside
A fond and virtuous pair,
Who both grew sick and like TO died,
Which filed their minds with care.
Their babes, a pretty boy and girl,
They grieved to leave behind,
And TO an only uncle's care
These children were consigned.
''Now, brether," said the dying man,
"LoOk TO my children dear,
And be parent kind to them,
And God your life will spare"
The uncle promised he would love
And bring them up with care,
He took the will and clasped the babes,
Which pleased the dying pair.
"My lands and wealth do bequeath
To these my children dear,
Should God not please TO spare their lives
Then yon shall be the heir"
The dying mother raised herself,
"Protect my babes" she cried,
"And Providence will you reward
Then kissed them both and died.
He only kept these little ones
A twelve month and eight days,
When in his breast he formed q scheme
To take their lives away.
He bargained with two rulfians vile,
Who were of furious mood,
To take away these little babes,
And kill them in the woods.
Behind the rogues the babes were placed,
And set out side by side,
Delighted as they went along
On horseback thus TO ride.
Their pretty prattle by the way
Made one of them relent-
That ever he undertook the deed
He sorely did repent.
The other being hard of heart
Was not at all aggrieved,
But vowed that he would do his part
For what he had received,
To save their lives the milder rogue
Did fight the other there;
He killed him before the babes,
Who quaking stood with fear.
He took the children by the hand
H.. While tears stood in their eyes,
And for the scheme which he had plarned
lie stifed all their cries.
For two long miles he did them lead,
Of hunger they complain,
"Stay here" says he, ''l'll go for bread,
And soon return again."
When he was gone they, hand in hand,
Did wander up and down,
But never more did they behold
The rufiian come from town.
These pretty babes thus wandered long
Without the last relief,
Among the woods and thOrny briars,
Till death did end their grief.
No burial nor covering
Was given to the pair,
Till robin redbreast with bay leaves,
Did cover them with care.
But now the heavy wrath of God
Upon their uncle fell,
The furies haunt his dark abode,
His pangs no tongue could tell.
His house and barn were burned with fire |
His lands were barren made,
His cattle in the field expire,
And nothing with him staid.
The william who did take in hand
These pretty babes to kill,
To die was judged by the law,
For murder, by Gods will.
The guilty secret in his breast
No longer could contain,
So all the truth he then confessed,
TO free his heart from pain.
The uncle did in prison die,
Unpitied was his cry;
Come all We guardians of such babes
And warning take hereby.

The average life of a farmer
is 66 years, and if he wasn't O.
bliged to run, and yell SO much,
getting his neighbors' cows out
of his coln-ield, he'd probably
bring it up to 81.

while Cochran's discharge, which oc-
CURED on account Of subsequent
events, took place about the 1stof De-
cembor. The letter book was pro-
duced, in which appears letter dated
October 30, to a bank in Little Rock,
Withdrawing the credit of the firm
from Mr.. Cochran. AS soon as Bob
heard Of this he came over and said,
suppose you fellows don't want me
any longer" That is exactly what
We mean; VIC cannot do business this
way" said Mr.. Wcllford.
Previous to Mr.. Furstenheim S lot-
ter he had run short with the firm,
but had patched up a settlement by
drawing a draft on his brother, w. d.
Cochran, at 372 Broadway. This
come back protested. The brother
represented as wholesale shoe mcr-
chant was not to be found. and the
note vent to protest. Yellow fever
interrupted communication some
what, and Cochran continued to col
lect money and at the same time to
draw drafts on Mr.. Furstenheim in
St. Louis. His ability in
this respect is unQuestioned. He is
also a plausible, good looking
young man.
Without going into details, it is suf-
fcient to say that his conduct did not
give satisfaction. He left two notes
with the firm in settlement of his ac-
count, which although not due, they
say they will sell at twenty-five cents
on the dollar. Here is chance for
speculation.
The circular of December 3Oth,
issued by Furstenheim & Well
ford was never noticed by
Cochran until recently. The firm is
wiser than it was, but claims to be
loser by him.
Cochran, being under no direct
charges, soon obtsined situation as
travelling salesman for billiard, Coffin

anything was wrong until he suddenly
jumped the city Of Little Rock. The,
are satisfied now that they are out
