A Painted Boy.

The denizens of Hartwell, village
| flfteen miles north of Cincinnati, are
much incensed over an outrage commit
ted by a man named Zeibe, who in fit
| of passion perpetrated an act that came
near resulting in the death of little bcy.
The tarring and feathering of Zeibe was
| seriously talked of, and the excitement
IN the community has not yet subsidized.
MIR. j. Burgess, who is collector Of in
ternal revenue, has little son about
seven years old. The lad has been a
playmate of a son of the man Zeibe. On
Friday last the two boys We're PLAYING
together, and during the afternoon they
found their way into Zeibe's carriage
house, where they discovered pot of
mixed paint. 1t occurred to the young
sters that it would be grand sport to
paint something, and one of the wheels
of Zeibe's buggy was soon pretty
thoroughly smeared. The wheel was
thus covered with a coat of an entirely
different color from that of the other
three. When Mr.. Zeibe became aware
of the transformation he flew into a ter
rible rage and proceeded to mete out
such punishment as in his opinion was
commensurate with the enormity of the
offense. Catching the little Burgess boy
he stripped him of his clothing and
painted him from head to foot with the
same mixture that had been used in
daubing the buggy wheel. The poor
boys hair was filled with the stuff, and
his body completely covered with it.
The paint closed up the pores of the skin
and came near killing the lad before he
reached home, and it was removed with
great difficulty. The shock to the boys
nervous system was nearly fatal and the
danger-line has not yet been passed.
Mr.. Burgess, the father of the painted
boy, went over to Mr.. Zeibe's with the
righteous intention of whipping him for
the outrage. Unfortunately he depend
ed upon his fists for weapons, and, being
small man and Zeibe a big fellow, Mr..
Burgess got much the worst of the en-
counter. An effort was made to organ
ize a crowd to tar and feather Zeibe, but
the matter was postponed in order to
give Mr. Burgess further opportunity
of meeting Mr.. Zeibe on more equal
terms. Cincinnati Special TO Chicago

THE HAY FIELD.

rsany season so blitho ana merry,
So CAV with flowers, or so sweet with song
.s that of the rose and the ripened cherry
When nights are tranquil and days are i0np2
The earth has forgotten her time of sadness,
The silence AMI shadows have passed away.
Fhere is nothing but universal glalness
Among the hay.
This is the season when lads AMI lasses
Are up betimes in the sunny field;
When the swish of the scythe LAYS low the
grasses.
And the passing hours new pleasures WELD
The time of the festive. sweet hay-making,
When the sporting laugh and the ioVous
word,
And the song of grateful love partakiny
Are all day heard.
Why should we squdnder the hours in siphino
That things which are lovely do not stay,
That the dancing grasses so soon are dying3
Let us be merry amid the hay.
There is time enough for the coming sorrow.
There is wealth of beauty around us vet.
Let us use to-day and leave tomorrow,
Nor God forget.
Blue and bright is the sky above us,
Sweet with flowers is the scented air:
All things whisper that God doth love us,
All sounds WOO us to happy PRAYER;
The forest gladeS are with Joy songs ringing
From morn TO night of the happy day;
Let human voices to Him be singing
From fields of hay.
Though far away are the days of childhood
OF glad light-heartedness, careless mirth.
There is pleasure still in the field and wild
wood,
And joy for all dwellers in Gods fair earth
What does ii matter thas we grow older?
The best shall come when We pass away:
And We learn lesson that makes faith bolder
From fields OF hay
Nothing is coming that need oppress us:
Let US raise in triumph a truStfut song.
God is our father, and He will bless us.
sHis love makes summer th whole wear long
Though skies should darken and flowers be
falling,
Though life be stormy and days grows dim,
Gods powerand mercy are aye prevailing;
We trust i'll Him.

Juvenile Mortality,

One of the most mysterious phenom-
ena of human existence is the large per
centage of mortality among young chill
dren. A fearful proportion Of the deaths
everywhere are those of persons who
have just begun to live. Even when
due allowance is made for faults of nurs-
ing and training, it appears hardly possi-
BILE that any improvement can Offset
the inherited weakness from which so
many children suffer, and, as yet, science
has taught little concerning those epi-
denies which find the majority of their
victims among the little ones. Still, in
telligent care and favorable surroundings
can do much. The English statistics,
much more full and accurate than those
of our own country, show that IN the
rural counties the mortality of children
under five years of age does not exceed,
and often falls below, forty in the thou
sand. In the cities and towns the aver
age is much greater, ranging from about
fifty-nine in the thousand, in Portsmouth,
to over ninety-fve in Birmingham and
Sheffield, and to over one hundred and
three in Liverpool. In nineteen large
towns, containing an aggregate of mil
lion and nearly twenty-four thousand
children, the deaths for a year from their
number were $3.50. This is fearful
number, and no doubt the figures were
increased through causes which might
have been avoided. Still, had every
thing been done, the little victims must
have been counted by myriads. As
things are, it is probable that in very
many cases continued life would not have
been blessing, but the quaint old cpl
taph,
| $50 soon was done for,
| Iwonder what was begun for,
will nevertheless suggest itself.-Cfncia.

New England Churches.

About the year 100, the meeting
houses in New England were plain
wooden structures, in most cases without
steeples. The windows were glazed with
diamond-shaped glass, the walls un-
plastered, and the interior without any
means of heating. Through the storms
of winter the congregation shivered in
the cold during public worship. About
hundred and fifty years ago, in the in
terior of one of these rough edifices
could be seen the families of New Eng
land. The men were dressed in the
fashion of the age. They wore broad
brimmed hats, turned up into three
corners, with loops at the side; long
coats, with large pockets and cuffs, and
without collars; the buttons either plated
or pure silver, and of the size of half a
dollar; shirts with bosom and wrist ruff
fies, and with gold and silver buckles at
the wrist united by link; the neck
cloths of fine linen, or figured stuff, en-
broidered with the ends hanging loosely.
Small clothes were in fashion, and only
reached to the knee, where they were
ornamented with silver buckles of large
size: the legs were covered with long
gray stockings; the boots had broad
tops, with tassels shoes were some
worn. ornamented with straps and silver
buckles. The women had black silk OF
satin bonnets, gowns extremely short
wasted, with tight sleeves, or else very
short sleeves, with an immense frill q
the elbow. The ministers wore larg'
gowns and powdered wigs.

Feeding Horses Straw Bats.

In clearing away the debris of o FIRE
at st. Louis, it was noticed straw hats
that had been damaged by water and
leather were thrown from the windows
and promptly confscated by men and
old women, on the street, before they
scarcely had time to reach the ground.
One old man was especially active In
dodging about and collecting mutilated
and charred straw hats. When asked
what he proposed to do with the hats,
he promptly replied:
I" intend to feed ''em to my horse, Of
course"
"Don't you think they will make your
horse sick 2" inquired bystander.
"Of course not. Why should q straw
hat make horse sick? Straw doesn't
cease to be straw when it is put into q
bed or hat any more than plant ceases
to be a plant when taken from the
garden and put in flower pot. My
horse will eat straw hats. I've tried him.
Hay and feed are very dear now, and
all I save in feeding my horse is cleal
gain" .z.sfs5 -.
At this point he discovered several
! large broad -brimmed hats floating from
the third-story windows above his head
and brought the conversation to sud
den close by placing himself in position
to catch them ON the fy.-.H Louis Re
publican.
