AYoTHER CHARLEY ROSS CASE.

An abduction case has Just come TO light
which nearly parallels the famous oneoi
Charles Ross. 1t has been kept profound
secret both by the parents of the stolen child
and the Pinkerton detectives, who have been
on his trail.
Il seems that Mr.. w. w Dickinson, who
married daughter Of the Hon. Jay 4. Hub
bell. OF Michigan, and the chairman of the
National Republican Committee, r-sides
with his wife and family ct 4 small town IN
Wisconsin. They had a bright little SIX
year-old boy, Willie. Mr.. Dickinson had
some trouble with the roughe. element oi
the town. who sw0re that they would even
tually be reyenged upon him, but lie paid no
attention 10 their threats. About the lSt OF
November last his son Willie suddenly dis
appeared and up TO the presen; time not
glimpse have they had OF him. Mrs. plcS-
inson became almost crazed over The loss OF
her bov and for some time re!Esedto be com
ior,ed. At last she determined to make an
effort and undertake the search IN person.
notorious character named William Nor
ris was last seen in company with the child,
and As he did not return to the town for some
time the supposition was that he was the an
ductor. Mrs. Dickinson then commenced
prolonged pursuit that led across the nIted
States, following hcr child from one place to
another. at time, being only few hours be-
hind the IL .itivcs. She arrived atCuipeper.

had purchased tickets for this city. She at
once came on here, and is at present at w.

MAYBE.

She lcant across the stile.
WIKI her merry, golden smile
And her bonny brown eyes glancing
Through the green leaves ali the while
And he who loved her so
Watched from the path below;
But she tossed her head so daintily,
And laughed and babe him go.
Maybe maybe we cannot know
Maybe! maybe. twas better SO
When the winds of March were loud,
And the skies were dark with cloud,
lie had won her love forever;
And she trusted all he vowed.
But she wept against his heart
"Oh, my darling we must part;
For barrier lies between US,
Forever, sweetheart !!
Maybe maybe we cannot know.
Maybe! maybe twas better so
And the years have passed away.
And they both are old and gray
But the same sweet dream is in their heart
Forever and for aye.
Oh. sweet end sad the pain
OF the love that will not wanel
So sweet, so sweet. because so true
so sad because in vain
Maybe maybe we cannot know;
Maybe maybel it shall be better so!

ALWAYS MINE.

You say the Joy that has just come 10 me,
To crown my life with glory and with grace,
VIII perish, leaving but the agony
or loss in its dear place.
And that twere better to forego the bliss,
And so be spared the loss. tell you nay
Because the night is coming, must miss
The brightness Of the day.
But Yesterday the flowers and birds were here
To-day watch the whiring, drifting SHOWS,
Nor am saddcned thinking Of the dear
Departed bird and rose.
Give me the gorgeous skies, the sweet perfume
Of howers-aye, all the royal summer charms,
Though must see her, robbed of all her bloom,
Die in the Winters arms.
! would not take yorr little negative
Delights; have no petty fear of desth;
Life is not worth the living if to live
Means just to draw the breath.
No doubt my feet shall tread the valleys ways
Nv ewes shall dwell on lesser, lower sights;
But ali they cannot rob me-those drear days
OF this day on the nights.

The Good LiaIc Boy aud The Drum.

4 little boy wanted a drum. His mother,
wishing to give him an impressive lesson,
suggested that if he should pray for it he
might receive one. oat night when ready
for bed, he knclt down and prayed
"Now lay me down 70 sleep.
q want a drum
pray the Lord my soul % keep,
II want drun)
II | should die before ! wake,
Il want a drum
Ipray the Lord my soul 20 take,
II want drum.p
His father, who had been let into the SC
cret, had meanwhile quietly placed drum
on the bed. As the youngster rose, and his
eyes fell on tho drum, he exclaimed in an
emphatic manner, that bsnished all serious
thoughts from the minds Of bis listeners:
"Where the devil did that drum come from7"
The anticipated benefits from that lesson
may probably b Considered lott.
