youngest pupil at the boys school,
and now his mother was expecting
him every day, and she went about,
proud and happy, telling her friends
Of his improvement in his studies,
and always ending with his being such
a good boy. Then came a telegram
from Willie himself, the first real mes
sage he had ever sent how funny it
seemed, from that baby-and there
was just this simple form, "Meet me
in the morning" His mother went
about all day with il in her hand,
reading it over as il il had been in
the child's own handwriting. Then
she smiled to herself as she pasted il
carefully in a scrap book, while some
body suggested framing it, to hang
over the mantel.
But all the friends loved Willie; he
was the only son Of his mother and
she was a widow-and he did not come
that morning. There came instead.

his mother hurried to her darling boy,
but it was too late! The despoiler

out his little life in the sleep from
which he never would fully awaken

Our County Court System.


The magistrates should have nothing
to do either with the election of school
commissioners or with any fiscal mat
ter. Our county court system is de-
fective 10 this respect. The fiscal
matters of a county should be manag
ed by the county judge, and two or
four county commissioners elected by
the people for that purpose alone. who
should manage the disbursements, see
to the roads and all such details as
comes before the court Of claims. The
magistrates should have no other du'
ties than to dispense justice, and should
be selected with sole reference to their
capacity for this high function. As
for the school commissioner, we see
no reason why the county judge should
not perform all his duties for which
he could be compensated by an in
crease in his salary. Frankfort Voc

1t is possible that the democrats
may fnd somebody who can carry
the necessary 203 votes in 1884, but
we must confess it looks very strongly
against it. With New York torn in
to pieces by the desertion of Tammany,
aud the solid South broken, with In
diana and Ohio in the hands Of the
republicans, aud no democratic leader,
or brains, of distinct issue, democratic
prospects for 1884 look dark indeed

Poor Eeuss

The grourd upon which certain
Southern Senators, calling themselves
Democrats, voted to give Gen. Grant
ten thousand dollars annually for the
rest of his natural life is indeiensible
from any point Of view. They said
il became them to be magnanimous.
Magnanimous with whatY With the
public money raised by taxationl That
money does not belong to members Of
Congress. They have no right TO give
it away. They are solemnly sworn to
appropriate it only TO certain specified
purposes; and they are trustees for
those purposes alone. To pay it out
for the qualification of sentiment,
whether that sentiment be charity or
admiration, is almost as bad as to APP
propriate it corruptly. Nothing can
be worse, nothing more hagrantly Op.
posed to the true principles Of FEEDER
al legislation, than this misappropria-
ton Of the means provided by law

A Stirling Incident

An English actress, passing along IA
street one day, heard singing. She
looked in an open door upon little
prayer.meeting and caught the words;
depth ofmercyl can It be,
Mercy still reserved for NEE"
She entered, listened awhile, then
went away, but the hymn went with
her. She became II christian, and de-
termined TO leave the stage, but the
manager would not release her from
fulfilling her engagement. The last
night she played with unusual brillian-
cy, and, at the close, was called before
the curtain. Her contract was dis
charged; she had no master now but
Christ. Standing there, with clasped
hands and streaming eyes, she sang:
Depth Of mercy can 1.-THE,
Mercy still reserved for me-
Can my God his wrath forbear,
Me, the chief Of sinners, spare9"
The audience was melted by the pa
thetic confession and plea, and many
sought the same plea.
