PARADY ON BEAUTIFUL SNoW.

Oh, the steer, the beautiful steer,
Kicking the Aeas from the Iints of his
ear,
Fluppng his tail in its frolicsome glee,
Hopping about like a snake river flea,
Believing!
Roaring
laundering along!
Filling the air with its steeridal song.
'Till the rumble from its Inn .-lat en- pits
Scares t:mid iackrabbits and wolves into
fits,
To me there is nothing on earth half so
dear
AS the loug horned, slim bodied Texican
steer.
How often l wish that was steer,
With a long, shiny horn at the butt of
each ear,
With clear fearless eye, and taper in
tail
That would snap like whip in the mad
denlng gale.
How I'd beller
And roar
And paw up the ground !!
And lope over the hill with laundering
sound,
And snort like terror and hump up my
back
When saw the wild COW boy pursuing
my track,
And I'd laugh at his oaths as he fell to
Oh! I'd be a Jo-dandy if was a steer!
once rOped a beautiful steer-but 1 fell.
Fell from nay pony with ear piercing yell,
Fell with my lariat fast to my wrist
Fell to be dragged through the grass
wet with mist,
Dumping!
Rolling!
Grunting went.
A full mile a minute, or don't want a
cent,
Tho gravel and grass yanksd the hide
from my nose,
And rnined a PAIR of forty cent hose;
Aye. even my hustle was thrown out of
gear
BY the trolicsome freaks of that beautiful
steer.

DR.. HALLS voice faltered as re
spoke, and the tears were in Mrs.
Richards eyes, while Louise ex-
claimed impulsively:

no Gertrude"
"And | will 90 with you," SAID
her mother. "You can can take

show her that we are really nei gh-

TO think how many more there are
who need this nelghboring and may

When Nelly opened the door for
her callers that sunny afternoon
her sad face brightenened, but the
quiet dignity that sorrow gives
brought fresh impulse of alfec-
tionate warmth to Louise's greet
ing, and Mrs. Richards earnest
sympathy as she spoke of the i'll
ness Of her mother won the young
girls heart at once.
Mrs. Jaynes at first refused to see
her caller, but finally consented to
please her daughter, and though
she ielt after the call that better
days might be in store for her, she
felt, TOO, that never again could the
hopetulness and ready faith that
were hers before this dreary expe-
rience come back to her.
But the need she had felt she re-.
allied deeply that others might
feel, and DR.. Hall had a very eff

The Press and wrOng-dOers

Rev. Napoleon B. Thompson, a
near neighbor, preached a stern
sermon upon the life and death OF
the great arch briber at the Free
Baptist Church, New York. One
point made is of universal interest.
We quote
"Iti said this man was bounded
to death by the newspapers. Not
so. Every man is publicly account
able Tor the influence he exerts. If
he puts himself IN a position to be
pursued by the press, the public's
moral custodian, tn IN he must not
expect lightness of treatment. Evil
and wickedness can not be hound
ed too much, nor the evildOer held
to a too strict public accountable
ty. Throttle The press and You
make pow erless one of any COM
munity's strongest agents for good.
The press, like the pulpit, is the
enemy of evil. Were it not for
thsse moral defenses wickedness
and evil would rule. When the
strong arm of public opinion thus
lays hold upon the shoulder Of the.
wrongdOer, be he old or young in
crime, and says, Thou art the
man 7 such are not hoVRding influ-
ences. On the contrary, let these
watch dogs Of public safety be un-
chained, ferret cat evih and spare
no man who is guilty. Were it not
for the press much of crime IN all
grades of life wonl1 not only be uus.
known but 60 uRpunished. When
il reaches ITS long arm into pigeon
holed evil no wonder evildoers
tremble and thiRk they are hound

The Germans in America.

An article in the Independent
Pulpit, conce rning Germans in
America, reads as follows:
Perhaps the following lines, writ.
ten by German American, may
not be considered as an untimeIy
undertaking: By The "German ele-
ment" of The American people
those inhabitants OF the United
States are meant who were born in
Germany and speak German as
their mother tongue. On the whole,
the Germans in America are law
abiding, withdrawing and indus
trious people, who largely help to
develop the resources and TO pro-
mole the prosperity of This country.
They speak German among them.
selves, because it is their vernacu-
lar and easiest to them, but they
also learn English as we'll and fast
as possible.
The German nation in Europe,
from which they have come, is no
more responsible Tor the diversity
OF languages than the English ma
lion, whose tongue is and forever
will be the legal language of this
country. Moreover, the German
nation from which they have come
is morally, socially and intellectu-
ally as highly civilized and edu-
Gated, and has as rich and noble a
literature as any other nation in
the world. Aside from our own
American nation, the English,
French and German nations of
Europe stand abreast in the front
rank of civilization. From this
fact it will be seen that the Ger
mans of this country, having re-
ceiyed a good schooling in Germa-
ny, are as intelligent men as any
other class of citizens.
The majority of them are skilled
mechanics or practical farmers,
and do not exhibit a great anxiety
for filling public offices. Yet they
are as patriotic and as faithful in
the performance of the public du-
ties as their Anglo-American fell
low-cltizens, and have chiefly
proved this by their large repre-
sentation IN the Union army dur
ing our American civil war.
Many Germans in America are
freethinkerS and oppose Sunday
laws as violating the Constitution

Gently and sensibly drink wine and
beer, particularly on festive occa-
'ions. They oppose prohibitory
avs as violating the principles
in the Declaration of In
of the United States
md as not being in harmony with
sense.
The Germans of this country
hink that life has not only a busi-
less side, but also social side, de-
serving to be cultivated. This is
he reason for the numerous Ger
nan shooting societies (schuetzen-
German gymnastics So
ieties (turnvereine), and German
'ocal societies (Gesangvereine),
\ the United States.
As to song, as a social enjoyment,
lottfried Seume, a famous German
uthor, says:
''Wo man singt, da lass
Dich rnhig nieder,
Boese Menschsn haben
Keine Lieder."
Translated these lines read:
Where'er they sing, tranquil
canst thou remain,
For wicked men attempt
to sing in vain.

The OkolOna Lancet says: "Gum

power Of endurance in her jaws, but
did not dream of an effort on her
part to establish perpetual motion. >

What a Free Press Means.

DR.. Lyman Abbot.
"The things which form the
strength and stability of this coun-
try with hopes tor the future are
free schools, free ballot, a Chris
tian Church, and a free press. AS
to free press, there are some who
wish that it did not exist. If they
want TO know what a free press
really means, they have only 10
find out what a Russian, a Roman
or a Greek of century ago would
have given for one. In a free
press we possess a precious jewel.
70 be sure, 1T may present di-
vorce case, which you all read and
then complain that it was present
ed. But the press is simply pre-
senting a picture of the life of the
people. If the people dislike the
picture they have only to change
their lives, and the picture will
disappear. 1t is only the wicked
who love the protection of dark
ness. The press that spreads the
electric light of publicity over the
is the greatest protector
Of the home and morals ofthe peo-
pie.

Over four hundred years ago
Strawberries ~ was cry of the
London streets; and the garden OF
the Bishop of Ely, at HOlborn, was
famous for its fine growth of the
lucious berry. Its name is an An
glo Saxon one, supposed to be de-
rived from its straw-like stem, but
quite as possibly it is derived from
the circumstance of IFS growing
amid what was called straw, or
from the custom OF stringing and
braiding the long-stemmed berries
into a bunch of straws, as some of
the country folks do to-day. Be-
side our own numberless varieties
of the same wild berry, cultivated
out of all acquaintance with its
parent stock, there Is an East In
dian variety, with snowy yellow
flowers, valuable only for orna-
ment, as the fruit is worthless, and
a charming Chilian species with
thick, dark leaves, and a berry
of a pale rose-color and
of a rich creamy tint,
and often as large as hens egg.
