EDITOR DEMOCRAT: The business men
on Second South street, west, are glad to
see improvements going on in that quar-
ter, and do not complain if they are put
to some inconvenience and annoyance in
consequence of the use of a portion of the
street as Il dumping ground for rock, sand,
lime and other materials, provided due
diligence is used by contractors and others
engaged in making such improvements,
but the thing becomes monotonus, when
month after month comes and goes, and
still the nuisances continue to be long
drawn out and likely to become perman-
ent.
Therefore, what says the Street Com
missioner to removing long-continued
one between West Temple and Main
streets? QUERY.

dangerous Literature.
BY SALLY ANN JONES.

AT the schOOlhOuse, on last Thursday
evening, Rev. Larkin Smith delivered a
lecture 20 the parents of this vicinity.
Subject-"Evils arising from allowing
children to read yellOw-back literature"
Now, don't believe, that the contents
OF a book with yellow cover will have
any worse effect upon the reader, than il
the back were of any other color. /
think that idea is like great many
other superstitiOus notions. | don't adj
mire yellow, bat l think it is just as
lucky a color as any other, and when l
choose book for child, am great
deal more particular about the kind Of
reading it contains than am about the
color OF the back. Yet agree with Rev.
l.. Smith, that people ought to be a great
deal more particular about the kind of
books their children read than most of
them are. And / will point a moral
and adOrn tale" by relating little
experience OF my OWE.
When my Jacob and David were little
boys aud going TO school the teacher
sent me word that Jacob needed new
book, and also sent me word what kind
of a one to get for him. supposed that
the teacher knew what kind OF book
the child needed, 80 got the book with
out examining it myself to see whether
il was book for child to read or not.
Well, the next Saturday, when there
was no school, and was busy doing my
Saturdays baking, David came in and
says he, Jake is playing George Wash
ington."
"What kind Of q play is that" says l.
"Why," says he, that tree that YOU and
dad think 10 much OF, don't you known
that Mayduke cherry tree, that dad got
of that tree peddlsrp Well, Jake he's
got dads ak and he's ehopping it,"
looked out of the window. aad sure
enough there was jacob just finishing
Northern tribune. [volume] (Cheboygan, Mich.) 1875-1885, 1885-06-04

cutting down the cherry tree, then ha
went off whistling and put the axe back
on the wood pile.
As soon as could leave my baking
went around there, and says /, Jacob,
do you know who cut down that cherry
tree?"
"Yss," says lac, II did it,"
"YOu good for nothing little scrub -
says what did you do That f0r?"
Because L wanted to be like Washing
ton" says he IL read all about him in
my new book, and the school teacher
says that every time his birthday comes
round, people fire eahnOns and talk about
what a good boy he was, never to tell a
lie. and about what great man he got
to be, and that he was the first President
and she said il wanted people to like
me, and make me President, must do
like Washington"
"Pll let you know" says I,rthat you're
not Washington. and that I'm not an old
bl0ckhead like his father, and I'll not
have any such maneuvers around me.
young man."
SO, broke switch off that cherry
tree, and | gave his jacket a good warm
ing.
"I'didn't tell lie about it," says he.
mo, my lad" says l, "and its a good
thing you didn't, for saw you through
the window, and il you had told me a
lie, I'd have given you five times as much
and if ever know of you doing such
another trick, I'll give you such whip
ping as you'll remember the last day
you live
When jeremiah heard Of the occur
renee, he scOlded around considerably,
and said that the boy didn't understand
what he read, and the school teacher
hadn't made it plain to him, ought to
have explained the story to him instead
of whipping him and that it wasn't right
to whip the boy when he didn't know
that he was doing wrong.
Maybe he didn't know that he was do
ing wrong, but know that he never cut
down another cherry tree.
/ hunted up that book and tore out
that cherry tree story, and l tremble yet
to think of the mischief the reading of
that one story might have caused the
boy to do, if his mother hadn't been wise
enough 10 counteract its bad effect.
