For the Sunday Appeal
ny FATHERS LOVE.


My Chi dhood's days were motherless.
And lone, and strange, beyond compare,
But for my fathers teuder love
Too hard for little child to bear.
Whence r took my good night kiss
always made this childish plea,
''Ohl father, when you lie awake,
beg you'll turn your face to me?''
He never laughed, but grave and calm,
Bent down his eyes OF softest blue.
And answered thus, my little lamb,
always turn my face TO ycu.h
This my type of heavenly love,
drew the childish inference then;
'if thus my 'rthly father feels,
How must God love the sons of men,"
No after faith, nor Learned lore
Could shake my trust SO firm aud free,
Though oft my heart was sick and sore,
felt Gods love was turned'to me.
Though long, long years their race have run,
Ny firm, unwavering trust in Thee,
Stil bids me pray as l have done,
"oh! Father, turn thy face to me-"

ital commission has manifested itself
and it is revolving rapidly in the midst
of the intricate mechanism of that organ
lzation. 1t is the executive committee
of five, consisting of Alex Mckenzie,
Alex Hughes, J. P. Belding,

A telegram from Yankton to the Sioux

days Press and Dakotaian and charged
to the regular correspondent of the Jour-

But it appears from subsequent develop.
ments that the governor has usurped the
functions Of his private secretary and is
himself Corresponding" The following,
which is literal copy of the Journal
telegram, was printed in the st. Paul

with the name of its author attached:
Yenktons Dakota, April ga delegation of
YanktOn county repudiators, headed BY Newton
Edmunds, held meeting to-day with the Petit
grew ring, at Sioux Falls, to put forth an at
tack upon the governor and legislative assem-
bly, on account of the passage of the capital re-
moval bill. The executive and legislature ac-
cept the issue, and will meet these and all
other rings before the people of the territory
and vindicate their action, N. G. ORDwAY.
Itwas cruel in those newspapers to thus
give publicity to an act of the governor of
Dakota, when his name was supposed,
under the usual rules, to have been given
only for the information of the editors.
But it lets johnson out.
