The ways of New York justice-or
iustices-are past finding out, especial
lv those of that police justice-his
name is Bankson Morgan-ef New

a young man charged with the abduc-
ton and ruin of young woman, be-
causc-we give the Justices own
words-"of your family connections,
and for that reason only;"*** "The
respectablity of your family is the
only thing that now protects YOU"
If there are many such justices as this
fellow Morgan in New York city, So

Somehow you forget your mcthcr-that is,

But Oh there's difference, Dolly, when your

That tcepting the ache that is in 'em) there's

Remember how nice it fee .. Dolly, to have

Ache? Why, ache all over, and the bed Is rs

And the daisies and buttcrcups growing-I
never half loved them before.
And mothcr-lct's see! she is standing in that
very door, no doubt
She loves to look out in the morning and see
what the world is about
In pale-blue something or Othcr-a loose sort
OF wrapper, guess
AS If a few yards of sky had been taken to
make a dress.
And up from the pine woods yonder comes q
beautiful wOOdsy smell,
And the breeze keeps limiting of Maytiowers
the real pink arbutus.bell:
And think most likely the robins have built
And by and by therc'!l be birdies-and shall
not be there to see!
Did you hear any noise, Dolly? Speak, Dolly,
you little witch!
As If somebody was laughing-or crying! l
couldn't tell which.
We've kept from crying, so far; wc'v chOked.
but we wouldn't cry
I've just talked it out to you, dear; l had to. or
else I'd die.
But II that IS you. mother land know by your
lips that it Isl.
I'll just squeeze your head oH You think that
all want Is kiss?

But you know it was inconsistencies almost killed
your poor little Kit!

TO the ground, trying to get the trail,
Presently he gave quick, sharp bark:
ran up to papa, then back again to
where Charles little whip lay on the
grass. 1t was near the tiny brook that
ran through the field. and. in the soft
soil, could be plainl y seen the print OF y
pair of little feet Jack, who had al
ready caught the trail, was bounding
ahead, and papa, with a Quick step and
beating heart, followed. Along the
brook, over the fence, and on into the
wood they went for what must have
been a long distance for ss;ch short lit
tie legs to have Travelled; and. finally, i'll
a sheltered nook formed by the up
turned roots Of tree that had fallen
across the brook, they found the Little
Boy. Blue fast asleep. The gay sailor
suit was sadly smeared with mud, as if
he had slipped down in it somewhere;
the brave little boots were stiff with it,
and his sailor-cap was missing alto
gcther: but, held firmly in one dirty
little hand were the flowers he had
promised to bring for mamma; beau
tiful, but wilted lady slipper. a cur!ed
up and dropping fern, and q gay bunch
of cardinal flowers. There seemed to
be mist before papa's eyes rs he
stopped down and took the tired little
sleeper in his arms, while Jack could
not refrain from kissing his hand in an
ecstacy of Joy. The blue eyes opened
wide, and, without mauiiesting any sur
prise at seeing his papa, Little Boy Blue
only murmured: Use so tired; carry
me home, papa, please"
"Just let papa fire off his gun first,
dcarie,' said papa, as he let the gun go
of with ma gniticent bang that was
sweeter than any music in the cars OF
poor mamma listening for it soaHxious-
" at home. Then he took the little
boy in his strong arms, and off they
marched toward home, Jack capering
ahead, quite beside himself for joy.
Then mamma fell on Little Boy Blue,
and nearly smothcred him with kisses,
and couldn't help smiling when he
looked up at her wonderingly and
asked, lis you hurt. mamma? What
makes you cry:?''
"Mamma thought her little boy was
lost, and it made her feel bad. You
will not 60 off SO, again, will you,
dear?"
mo, mamma, / didn't mean to" he
answered with ready penitence, though
truth TO tell, I don't believe that he
had any idea he was doing wrong.
"What mule you 60 so lar, darling"
II wanted to see where the brook
came from, an l went ever never so
far, and couldn't find the place at all;
but did find desc beautiful flowers for
you, mamma. See dis pity fern-you
mus press dat, mamma. An then l
did get so tired. and wanted you, and
tried to come back, but Iguess l forgot
and went to sleep, want my dinner
now-rse hungry lots-lots."
And that was why, when Uncle
Bates's family came, they found them
all sitting down with thankful hearts,
to a cold dinner. Mrs. N. X. Buck, III,
