THE CHILDREN.


lBy "The Village School Master."l
When the lessons and tasks are all ended,
And the school for the day is dismissed,
When the little ones gather around me
To bid me good night and be kissed;
The little white arms that encircle
My neck in a tender embrace,
Those smiles that are halos of heaven
Shedding sunshine of love in my face
And when they are gone sit dreaming
OF my childhood too lovely to last
OF love that my heart will remember,
When it wakes to the pulse of the past,
Ere the world and its wickedness made me
A partner of sorrow and sin,
When the glory Of God was about me,
And the glory Of gladness within.
Oh, my heart grows weak as woman's
And the fountains of feeling will flow
When think Of the paths, steep and stony,
Where the feet of the dear ones must go;
OF the mountains of sin hanging DER them,
OF the tempest of fate blowing Wild
Oh, there's nothing on earth half so holy
As the innocent heart of child
They are idols of hearts and Of households /
They are angels of God in disguise;
His sunlight still sleeps in their tresses
His glory still CLEANS in their eyes.
Those truants from home and from heaven,
They have made me more manly and mild;
And know how Jesus could liken
The kingdom of God to a child
ask not life for the dear ones,
All radiant, as others have done,
But that life may have just enough shadow
To temper the glare of the sun;
would pray God to guard them from evil,
But my prayer would bound back to myself
All, a seraph may pray for sinner,
But a sinner must pray for himself
The twig is so easily bended
have banished the rule and the rod
| / have taught them the goodness Of knowledge
They have taught me the goodness of God;
My heart is a dungeon of darkness,
| Where 1 shut them from breaking rule
My frown is sufficient correction,
| Ny love Is the law Of the school.
shall leave the old house in the autumn,
To traverse its threshold no more;
All, how shall sigh for the dear ones,
That meet me each morn at the door!
/ shall miss the "good nights" and the kisses
And the gush of their innocent glee,
The groups on the green, and the flowers
That are brought every morning to me.
/ shall miss them at morn and at even,
Their song in the school and the street;
| shall miss the low hum of their voices,
And the tap Of their delicate feet,
When the lessons and tasks are all ended,
And death says the school is dismissed"
May the little ones gather around me,
To bid me good night and be kissed

HE TOOK THE CHILDREN.

Mrs. John Little, 1906 Bank street, is
in sore straits because of the absence OF
her husband. About six months ago the
family came here from wanyesburg, this
county, and Mr.. Little obtained employ
ment at the Aultman works. The story
related by Mrs. Little is to the effect that
she and her husband entertain different
beliefs as to religion, and have had
number Of controversies on that account.
The creed that should be taught the chill
dren, one aged seven and the other three,
was the subject OF numerous more or less
heated confsbs, and the elimination is
that the husband went away last week
and took the children with him. He told
his wife he was going to picnio and
would take the children with him. She
readily consented, but Instead OF going to
picnic she reports that he went to the
Ft. Wayne station and took a train for
the east. She believes he has taken the
children to Reading, Pa, for the purpose
of having them placed in an orphanage
Little is a steady man and had about
$3.50 in the bank, which he took with
him. The wife is left In destitute
circumstances but she has hoEe that after
the children are placed in an institution
her husband will return. She may make
some arrangements to get her children
back, as she feels that the custody of such
young children should remain with the
mother. Neighbors have rendered assis
tance to her in her great misfortune.
