A Visit to Plainheld.

Judge 0verman, of Upton, one day last
week, made pilgrimage to the Reformatory
at Plainfeld. At Kokomo, a few weeks
previous, the kind-hearted Judge, while
holding Court in the city of KokOmo, SEN
fenced a boy to this Institution, under
rather peculiar circumstances. A terrible
feud between the father and mother of the
youth, TO which the bitter feelings or
arrangement that result in the average
divorce are tame, made living with either
for him out of the question.
The fact that there is home for homeless
boys is glorious commentary upon the
Christianity of the State The little fellow
was guilty OF no crime, but the Court
thought proper to restrain him from the
unwise indulgcnces of an imprudent neither
or the temptations that are liable TO beset
one at his time of life. The parting between
the mother and son was very affecting, and,
in addition to this, the boys absolute fright
made the scene painful. Between the wo-
man, child, and venerable gentleman in
ermine, there must have been something of
camp meeting. However, the Judge par
TALLY recpnciled the boy by assuring him of
what the law contemplated in the Institu-
ton; and further, that in this particular
| case, his purse and person would be devoted
| to what was best for him Further than
! this, he covenanted to visit tire boy at the
Institution, and carefully examine into lis
workings After arriving in the city Judge
Overman found that the train did not stop
at the village of Plainfeld. Unwilling to
break an appointment, especially with a
boy, he made the trip in livery rig. The
little fellow frightened up when he saw the
Judge, but said, with tears, that he wanted
to live with his mother
"If your mother had allowed you to live
with your father, there would have been nc
necessity for sending you here" replied the
Judge.
"My father never did anything for me, y
sobbed the boy.

him, my son; of my own positive knowl

by repeated questions that the boys wer

beauty of mathematics, and that there wa
