HELP THE OLD VETERANS.

A battle-Scarreu Old veteran
One who had worn the SlTtN
And fought beneath the Southern flag
With glory as his pay, -
Now bent with age and wornvby time,
stands waiting at the door.
And asks his State for shelter
He's homeless, old aud poor.
Each scar upon his battered frame
Will cloquently tell
How, answering his States behests,
He fought where fOemen fell.
No ~straggler in the line was he,
But like the knight OF old.
The crash of arms for s4cred cause
Was music to his soul.
This veteran stood to duty,
Like the needle to the pole,
And went wherever duty led.
Through hardsllips never told.
He comes now with a shamblSig step,
OF health, of all bere'k, :
And asks the State TO hslp hi'S
Der the few short years thas's left.
But HE men who make the laws,
And crowd our halls OF State.
Have failed to offer him a home,
And SO he'll have to wait
Until some kindly hand
Shall lead him from the storm
That breaks above his hOary head,
And racks his tired form.
The State is poor they teal us
All! she must be poor iadeed-
To see such heroes suffer
And not supply their need.
Hard is the fate of the infifm and pdv,r,
Sad to be thus denied,
But short the passage to the friendly tomb,
Where the burden is laid aside.
Old veteran! you must stand aside
You're thirty years too late,
Wath q pittance for q pension,
We leave you to your fate.
Yet history. IN coming years,
Lhese truthful words shall a
God never chastened drawer men
Than those who wore the gray.
On Chickamauga's bloody field,
at Malvern Hill as well,
Intact, upon a undred fields,
These heroes fought and fell.
Full many sleep in unmarked graves
And will till Judgment day,
But God, the giver OF all good
VIII not o'erlook the gray.

Don't Be Cynical.
N. Q. States

N. O. States.
The States is not given to moralizipg
or preaching sermons on subjects either
human or divine, yet ventures a re-
mark on the training of children, sug-
gested by an article in a recent number
of the Arena. In this connection, a
great and good man once said that he
would not exchange his faith in his fell
low man for any good that life could
bring. It is safe to say that the parents
OF this man had been careful not to des-
troy the illusions natural to childhood ;
faith in the beautiful and good. The
to their child to warn it against the
evils and trickery Of its fellow creatures,
and thus are soWn the seeds Of suspicion
and distrnst, certainly not calculated to
promote happiness or mould a lovable
character, but, on the contrary, to rude
ly destroy its beautiful illusions, if,
indeed, they be illusions. This extract
from the article in question will suffice
to enforce the lesson wished to be con-
veyed
"Children believe in the goodness Of
others until they have had reason to
doubt it they believe that the world
is beautiful until they have been shown
the sadness, the misery or the sin Of it,
and l think that many a conversation
would be guarded, and many q light
and probably cynical remark from
older lips would be hushed il a more
reverent understanding were arrived at
as to the effect of such a conversation
on a child's mind. Why not leave as
long as possible unimpaired that beauti-
full faith of youth, and foster, as far rs
in us lies, the belief that all the cbild's
eyes rest on is what it seems? But so
often bad motives are ascribed to
others hastily, and criticisms are pass
ed that awaken children all too early to
q sense that, however much good may
be apparent, underneath ma lie the
which they have not dis
covered. Let US leave children their
in humanity, their faith in good
ness. for too often on the ono hand we
cultivate it dogmatically and on the
other destroy it converSatlonally.
"And SO | believe that ii with chill
dren, instead Of showing them, too
through sheer thoughtlessness,
tho seamy side of life, we built up in
them that reverence for humanity,
expansion toward what is great
and good ; il we permitted them to
breathe the atmosphere only of that
air that is to be found on NOR
Il heights, they would learn to live to
see the best in all, and face the evil of
tho world, by and by, not only in order

What Dubois Thinks.

WASuINGToN, Dec. Ex-senator Du-
bois said to-day that the friends of
silver did not look for favorable legis-
lation at the present session of Con
gress and, in view of the hostile atti-
tude Of the President, he did not be.
hieve any special effort would be
made in that direction. The silver
men, he believed, would so far control
the committees that they could at n
time bring up Il FREQ coinage bill and
it was very likely that speeches III adj
vocacy Of such a measure would be
made during the session. The wisdom
of making Il prolonged fight with the
full knowledge of it's hopelessness, he
said, was much doubted by the silver
mon, and it was altogether likely they
would content themselves with re.
affirming their allegiance to the cause
rather than prOlOng the session when
no substantial good could possibly re.
suit. Tho Senator, however, was very
positive Ill asserting that no issue of
bonds would be authorized or other
financial legislation permitted with
out some substantial recognition given
to silver; nor, he continued, would
any measure providing for the retire
ing the greonback pass the Senate
except silver be given an important
place in any scheme for preventing a
contraction Of the currency, which
necessarily would be caused by such
a retirement. He, therefore, did not
look for any financial legislation at
the present session.

COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER.
Rurrant's sentence.

SAN Francisco, Dec. 6.--Judge
Murphy this morning denied Theo-
dore D%urrant's motion for a new trial
and ordered the prisoner back to the
county Jail. In ten days he will be
taken to San Quentin Prison, there to
await sentence. Durrant will appeal
to the Supreme court.
A large force Of deputy sheritfs
was necessary to aid the police in
guarding the entrance to the court
room. The crowd was as large as
during the trial.
Judge Murphy briefly overruled the
motion for a new trial. He said he
had twice reviewed all the testimony
IL the case and every ruling he had
made during the trial. He had ex
amined all the affidavits submitted
and all the authorities cited. He said
if he thought any injustice had been
done the prisoner OF any error made
which affected his rights, he would
not hesitate to grant a new trial,
whatever the consequences or what
eve the criticism might be. But the
court was satisfied no error had been
made and that Durrant's trial had
been fair and impartial; that no right
accorded him had been invaded, and
that the jury's verdict had been made
in accordance with the law and the
evidence.
Durrant was then told to stand up.
The prisoner rose, pale and scowling,
but rs impressive as ever. The Judge
briefly reviewed the crime of which
Durrant had been proven guilty, and
expressed his entire concurrence with
the verdict. He advised Durrant to
seek repentance and forgiveness in a
divine source, now his only refuge.
The court then pronounced sentence,
which was that Durrant be kept in
close confinement by the Sheriff in
the county Jail, and within ten days
be delivered to the Warden of the
San Quentin State Prison, there to be
kept III close confinement until snch
day to be afterward fixed, when he
should be hanged in San Quentin
until dead.
Durrant heard his sentence without
the twitchlng of a muscle, staring at
the Judge %defiantly. Then he sat
down and made some remark to his
father and smiled.
Dickinson, for the defendant. took
a formal exception to the remarks of
the court on the merits Of the case,
and said he would this afternoon give
formal notice of appeal to the Su-
preme Court. The courtroom was
then cleared.

FIVE YEARS IN THE PEN
Is the punishment Assessed Against Jim
Clayton for a fieinous Crime.

Nose Arrant, the chum of Jim
himself that he jumped his bond, and
fed from Jefferson county before he
was tried for the same offense that
will cause Clayton to spend the next
seven years of his life behind prison
bars. 1t will be remembered that
Clayton and Arrant were arrested
on the charge of enticing two negro
girls from their homes. Both men
were found guilty in the magistrates
court and sentenced to one ears
Imprisonment and fined $500, each.
Their cases were appealed to the
Circuit Court. Arrant gave bond and
was released. Clayton was not SO
fortunate. Through some error
the appeal case of Clayton was called
first and it resulted in his conviction
and the jury assessed his punish
ment at one years Imprisonment
and fine of $500. AS soon as Arrant
learned of Clayton's conviction he
fed the country and left his bonds
men in the hole.
Clayton, notwithstanding the pun
ishment given him for the first Of
tense against the laws of morality,
the last Grand Jury found true
bill against him, charging him with
carnally knowing a female under the
age of Is years. Saturday he ap-
peared before the Circuit Court and
entered a plea of guilt to the charge
Judge Elliott sentenced him to five
years at hard labor in the Peniten-
tiary for this crime.
