Don't Let Mother do it.


Friten.by lea; Father to Daisy Terry1l, fro
Crookston, Mimi, June lS, 1885. - -,
Daughter, doh't let mother do it;
Do not let her slave and toll
While you sit. a useless id1er,
Fearing your soft hands to soil,
Don't you see the heavy burdens,
Daily she is wont to bear,
Bring the lines upon her forehead,
Sprinkle silver in her hair?
Daughter, don't let mother do it;
Do not let her bake or broil;
Through the long, bright SUMMER hours,
Share with her the heavy toll
See, her eye has lost its brightness,
Faded from her cheek the glow;
And the step that once was bouyant
Now is feeble, tired and slow.
Daughter don t let mother do it,
She has cared for you so long,.
is it right the weak and feeble
Should be toiling for the young?
Waken from your listless languor;
Seek her side to cheer and bless;
And your grief will be less bitter
When the sods above her press.
Daughter, don't let mother do it;
You iu.neter, never know
What were home without mother,
Till that mother lieth low;
Low beneath the budding daises,
Flee from earthly care and pain;
To the home, so sad without her,
Never to return again,

A fight occurred in the District Court room
at Fort Worth, Texas, on Friday night last
which came near resulting fatally. The trial
of young Stephens, charged with the murder
of DR.. W Walace, at Mansfield, had Just opened,
the entire day having been spent in lmPannel-
ling a Jury. The attorneys were tired and pet
ulent. Henry Furman, the leading counsel for
the defense, became embroilsd in n controversy
with County Attorney Bowln, and they finally
came to blows. Every one expected TO see ii
double tragedy. The court room was quickly
emptied. Both men were undoubtedly armed,
and each only waiting for the other TO draw,
In the midst of this confusion Judge Beckmsn
leaped from the bench into the arena. As he
did so, Lawyer " care, no is associated with
Bowln in the prosecution, exCitediy struck the
Judge very severe blow under the ear. The
court was duZed for an instant, but, being a
powerful man, instantly recovered bis balance
and let fall sled ge-hammer blow that prostra-
ted Lawyer Weare. Turang his attention 10
the principal ComhatantS who, by this time,
had clinchei and were committing mayhem
upon one another ears aud cheeks, the Jud.e
commanded the jury 10 arise and que.l the mot.
At the same Time the court seized one OF the
cOmbatan,s and TWO jlry men the Other thuS
separating them. Furman aud Bow.jn were
hued $50 each Tor contempt, after which The
court Immediately adjourned, as all the coia-
batauts were bleeding profuscly. The court
did not fine Lawyer Neage, feeling satisfied
with the nom Judicial punishment already in
ficted. II is feared the feeling epgendervd ~

Delegates Chosen.

The. school board met in their office here
on Tuesday for the purpose of appointing three
teachers to attend the next annual meeting OF
the State Teachers Association which meets
a Deer Park on July 7th to 9th, whtn the fol-
lowing were selected as delegates to the meet
ing: Messrs John W. HALEY, of Pomonkey,
John E. Higdon, of Bryantown, and VIM. l..
Padgett, of. La Plata. The examiner Will also
go as he is er o6feo member of the association.
Mr. HALEY attended the last meeting at Ocean
City, and perhaps it may be thoughta little too
partial by the rest of the teachers in ihe county
in his being again chosen, but the reason of it
was because the board had been requested 10
send delegate " bo would prepare paper on
Compulsory Eiucation' to be read before the
association, and ss Mr.. HALEY bad prepared
very able paper on this subject he was again
selected. This paper will be read 10 the asso-

these gentleman during the trip will be borne
by tie school board
