A Subject for the Reform School.

For the past week or two boy about
twelve years of age, who gave his name
as Brown, has been loafng about Shop
herdstown. He didn't appear to be
the sort of boy you read of in Sunday
school books and who invariably dies
young-quite the contrary. Kindly
disposed persons gave him shelter, but
efforts to provide him comfortable
home on the part of several families
met with failure. Mr.. John H. Show
took him in, but he stole several of Mrs.
Shows pies, plates and all, and put out.
Last Sunday he turned up at Mr.. John
Mitchell's, below town, where he told
a tale of woe and said he wanted TO
hire out by the year and be a good
boy. Mr.. Mitchell had conscientious
scruples against making a business bar
gain on Sunday, but gave him a bed
and said they would fix it up next day,
as he was just looking for a real good
boy. Next morning the boy turned
up missing, and Mr.. Mitchells watch
had likewise disappeared Mr.. Mitch
ell came to town, picking up Constable
Hofmaster on the way, and search was
made for the boy. The constable found
him up the railroad. He acknowledged
to the name of Brown, but said he had
never heard Of man named Mitchell
As for the watch, he didn't know any
thing about it at all, and professed
great establishment when the watch was
found in his pocket He was taken
before Magistrate Rentch and his ia
Their, ]. w. Brown, Of the vicinity Of
Halltown, was sent for. He said the
boy was incorrigible and entirely be-
yond his control. The fact that Mr.
Brown has but one leg, and the boy is
quite agile, made efforts to catch him
and properly punish him futile. His
father expressed a desire that he be
sent to the Reform School, and Magis
trate Rentch sent him to Jail at Charles
town, and from there he will be sent
on 10 Prnntutown- He's daisy.

about 5 years of age and seemed per-
fectly happy and cOntented as he sat
in the baggage room at the depot wait
ing for the train which should take him
to his new home. Quite a crowd of
railroad men gathered around the tiny
traveller, to whom he was an object of
great interest. One of the men had
gone out and purchased for him, pa
per sack full Of little cakes cut in the
forms of animals, which little Clarence
seemed much pleased with, and he de-
voured cats, dogs, elephants, camels,
ETC., with a great relish.
Clarence is one Of the many little

HALF WAY.

The years that stole our youth away
Come drifting on-come drifting on
Like snowflakes that endure a day
And they are gone.
Upon the hearth is blazing bright
An open fire--T sit and dream,
And think how far into the night
And storm its ruddy glow doth
CLEAN.
And then, within my heart tonight
The flame of youth flares up once
more ~
To shed a CLEAN of pickering light
And all the lost come back once
Through all the dark that lies before
more
And all the dead things live again.
And footsteps echo on the floor
And faces press against the pane,
And now l try so hard to catch
A whisper from the forms that pass
To touch the hands that lift the
latch
And lips that tremble on the glass,
And seek to check the rising tears
For sweet dead joys and rising ones
gone,
For memories that like the years
Come drifting on-come drifting on.
My fire burns low, but through the
gloom 81,
Comes stealing in the gray of dawn
The shadow scurry from the room,
Till all are gone.
The moon is here-the storm is past,
The room is filled with rudy day;
But on my head is drifting fast
The snow that never melts away.

ity are liberal. Bruce was elected
United States senator as soon as Mis-
sissippi was readmitted into the union,
and served the regulation term of six
years. Previously he had been sergeant
alarms of the state senate, and before
that had been collected of Bolivar
county. This was during the admins
tration of Adelbert Ames.
The legislature that elected him in.
1876 was republican by AN overwhelm-
ing majority. There were not more
than a dozen white men in the lower
branch. When he went to Washington
and presented his credentials and took
his seat he had the distinction of being
the first negro TO have voice and vote
in the upper branch of congress. He
was the first, and he has had no sue
cessor. Bruce served his term without
putting on any airs. He rarely ever
made a speech, and when he did it was
of the mild type. He did not inveigh
against his white countrymen, nor did
he believe that ''black heels should be
put on white necks" because his race
had once been shackled. He COM
manded the respect of his colleagues,
and when, after serving his term, he
was appointed register of the treasury
his nomination met with practically no
opposition by the southern senators.
Bruce never returned to Mississippi to
live after he waselected senator.
Bruce, Lynch, Quincy, Montgomery,
Hill and Washington are the represent
ative colored men of the nation; that
is, in political sense. Lynch will
sooner or later be taken care of by the
present administration; Hill has been
appointed register of the land Office at
Jackson, Miss; Washington is presi-
dent of the colored school at Tuskegee.
Ala, and does not care for any political
Office; Montgomery, the only colored
member of the late constitutional con-
vention of Mississippi, has returned to
his farm in the delta, and says that he
will advise with his party in the future,
but that he will not be candidate any
more. and Quincy is dying in Texas.
Quincy has been the republican leader in
Texas politics for the past decade. He
has had various factions to fight, but
he has always come off victorious. He
is the best educated one of the lot. He
has mastered Greek and Latin and
speaks two or three languages with
fuency. He was port collector of Gal
weston under Arthur and again under
Harrison. As debater ne has but few
equals. He is profound student and
and is naturally leader of
men. He is respected by ali classes in
Texas, and his illness is regretted by
the whites and blacks alike.
