His only treasure maiden child.
Ronny and brave was she,
And she kept his hearth ali warm and bright
And welcomed him home with Il kiss al

Three robbers passed through the lonely
wood.
They stopped at the colt age door.
My fur little maid, now give Us icod"
Said she Il have no more
Than cup Of tea and an oattn cake,
And father his supper of that must make.
"tio bring us quickly the oaten cake,
And bring rs the cup oftca
We're W. ary and hungry" they spale,
Twill be little enough for three.
But father" she said, "has toiled all day
cannot give his supper away"
The robbers laughed both loud AMI long;
"A pIucky las" they said.
But give MS a kiss, and w.'li be gonc.
And leave you the eaten bread
Nay lhat," She said, q cannot 90,

And carry you of, arryou not afraid?

H. T. Spoerry, as justice Of the
peace had a case before him which
was carried up to the district court,
and the case disappesredsfrom view.
We think Henry is right in demand
ing that some one should pay the
fees of the justice and the jury.
Those that dance should pay the
fiddlers, is a time-honored maxim,
very applicable in this case. We
don't know who the parties are, nor
what the merits of their cause, but
we do know that those who are COM
PEELED to be present and testify /;
those who must sit for weary hours
and listen, TO decide what is right
between man and man and he who
presides over all, should be paid
for their services, fully and fairly,
if not freely. If the proper author
tiles, whoever they sre. cannot be
induced by the gentle drawings of
the silken cord of reason, to see
that these fees are forthcoming, per-
haps it would be well enough for
friend Henry to try the persuasive
influence of a writ of mandamus, or
something of the sort. Anyhow the
fees should be paid, because the la
bOrer is worthy of his hire.

To show our appreciation of the

decided to give one admission ticket
free to every person purchasing $500

that you may not fail to see what
immense bargains we are giving in

immense stock from New York, and

Little feet that travelled lightly
On this weary world below
Little hands that banished nightly
Trouble from the fathers brow.
Little fingers, waXen fingers.
Lightly clssped, Sc unlike death
That the mothers gaze still fingers,
Fain TO catch the fainting breath.
Little lips, still smiling sweetly
As if to still the parents woes
Cheeks all tinged and bIushing meekly
At the praise the Lord bestows.
But the little feet will journey
In this world of sin no more.
Now they press the sand banks lightly
By the golden rivers shore.
Father, grieve not; mother, weep not.
Try to smooth your trouble DER;
Think of her as only sleeping
Not as dead, but gone before.
