suspicion and no need of any ceremony
let us take him home"


And. then Joe took Willie in llls arm:
and held him closely with the little face
against his own, as if he were still living
and started for the cottage. Some Of thu
people followed in picturesque process
sion, through the pasture lot and dow1
the bank and along by the shore of tht
pond When Walters house was reached
a few of the women went in to sootht
Mary; and Joe and the doctor went
in also, and the people clustered about
the door.


In the course of an hour it seemed thai
all had been done that could be done fol
Walter and Mary, and the people, except
a few who remained as watchers and help
ers, dispersed to their homes.


The three days that followed were
bright, sunny days. A strange stiffness
borhood of the cottage. The harsh
heard as at other times, for the mill was
stopped in token of respect for the great
sorrow. Only the softly flowing stream
was heard, mingling it's s,su1rus with the
hum of the bees in the garden

dressed in their Sunday attire, would
come down the bank, and with hushed
voices and fearful looks steal up toward
the cottage door. Then kind Joe would
see them and would come out and take
| them in to see Willie; and after few
moments they would issue forth again
and walk sadly homeward, and as they
went the sunlight dried their tears.


And farmers and hunters came from
many miles away g to see the little boy
that was killed by sheep" Some of
the rough men manifested their sympa-
thy 10y exhibiting vindictivc feelings
toward the ram. After going in and
viewing the bruised corpse they would
come out with dark, determined looks,
and grasping again the long rifles which
they had brought with them and "stood
up" by the door they would inquire of
any bystander, with fierce emphasis,
whether the ram that "did that was
dead. On being informed of his cxecu-
tion, they would say THAT will do,'
with an air that implied how much they
would have enjoyed it to have had a
shot at him. Indeed, it appeared that if
the poor brute had been possessed of
| fifty or a hundred lives, so that each irate
hunter might have taken one, it would
have been a great relief and satisfac-
ton.


On the fourth day Willie was buried
Mary continued inconsolable. All of the
social influences which the ncighborhood
could command were put in operation
from the time of the funeral onward, in
order to cheer her and bind up her
wounded spirit. Social meetings were
held and pleasant little gatherings made
for her. Wherever there was enjoyment
Mary must be. She gratefully submit
ted herself to all their kindness and
tried to please her friends. But it seemed
to do her little good. She remained pale,
weak and dispirited.


After a few months Walter and Mary
discovered that somehow they were not
suited with their farm. They sold the
place at the first opportunity and re-
turned to their former home in New
England, the remains of little Willie hav-
ing been forwarded in advance to cem-
etery there with which they in their
early days had been familiar.-Atlantic

IT is now decisively demonstrated in
physiological science that colds are the
effect of arrangements of the stomach
and the blood. When" says a writer
on the subject, "the human body is at
its prime, with youth, vigor, purity, and a
good constitution on its side, no degree
Of ordinary exposure to cold gives rise to
any unpleasant effects. All the ordinary
precautions against colds, coughs, and
rheumatic pains may be disregarded, and
no i'll effects ensue. But let the blood
become impure, let the body become de-
ranged from any acquired disorder, or let
the vigor begin to wane, and the intirmi-
ties of the age be felt by occasional de-
rangements in some vital part, either from
inherited or acquired abuses, and the
action Of cold will excite more or less
disorder of some kind, and the form of
this disorder, or the disease which will
ensue, will be determined by the kind of
pre.existing blood impurity or the pre-.
existing fault Of the organic processes" }"

There is a chance now for portionless
young orphans to effect marriages and give
to the lucky husbands, in addition to them
selves, the sum of $1,000 as a dowry. A
society has been formed for this purpose, in
imitation of the many in existence in Eu-
rope. In the old country, however,
the benefits of such a society are
not limited to orphans, but are
extended to poor Jewish girls in gen.
eral, and probably, if the new society
attain any sncceSs here, its scope will be
similarly enlarged. Its present object is
certainly prsiseworthy. It offers induce
ments TO good girls to enter the married
state without any fear that their poverty
will degrade them in the sight Of their hus-
bands. We have extensive organizations
in which $1,000 are paid to the widow and
next Of kin on the decrease of a member,
and the law is vastly popular. Why may
not an equal popularity be accorded 20 this

A large body of the more sensible
Republicans are dissatisfied with the
address issued by the Congressional
Committee. 1t is not wonderful that
this class of Republicans regard it as a
very feeble affair. There is nothing
remarkable in this dissatisfaction. for
the same class of Republicans have
been and now are dissatisfied with a
great many things.


This sort Of Republicans were dissat-
isfied with the manner IN which their
Congress disposed Of the Credit Mobil-
ier frauds by turning the investigation
into a mere Job for whitewashing GER
tain Grant leaders.


They were dissatisfied with the sal
ary-grab law, and especially that fea-
ture OF it which gave Grant an extra
SleO, coo, and with the skulking way in
which the law was repealed, leaving
Grant to pocket his 100000, while
every Congressional grabster was left
TO be called a "thief'' because, under
the same law, he took $1,000, less a lit
tie mileage.


They were dissatisfied because the
committee which investigated the dis
trict ring swindles shrank from calling
Babcock before them on the measuring
frauds, and because the committee did
not in their report denounce the rascals
engaged in this branch of the swindle,
and who seemed to be spared solely for
the reason that their Head Centre was
the Presidents illegal private secre-
taTy.


They were dissatisfied with the in
famous conduct of Grant in openly de-
flying public opinion by the nomination
of Shepherd, the Boss of Washington,
as head of the new Commission.


They were dissatisfied with the course
of the Republicans at the recent ses-
sion In leaving the currency and the
transportation questions unsettled, 50
that they will distract and divide the
party In the coming elections both at
the East and the West.


They were dissatisfied with the truck
ling subserviency Of their Senator's and
Representatives in the passage of the
Poland Frelinghuysen gag law, where
by it was intended to destroy the free
dom of the press In order to shield
FROM criticism set Of villains who
plunder the people under the protect
ing shadow of the White House.


They are dissatisfied not merely be-
cause so large a proportion of Grants
benehciaries are servile and corrupt,
but for the additional reason that the
more servile and corrupt they are the
better be likes them and the closer he
clings to them.


They are dissatisfied because so many
Of these parasites are using the patron
age of the Government to advance
Grants aspirations for third term.


They are dissatisfied at seeing Grant
trying to make a scapegoat of Moses
and get some credit for pretending to
.frOwn upon plunderer, when he has
gone all lengths with the purse and the
bayOnet to serve Casey, a meaner ras-
Year: 1874

cal, for no better reason than that he
is his brother-in-law


They are dissatisfied because so
small proportion of the Republican
press has the courage to speak out
manfully in denuneiation of the evils
and the errors and the wrongs we have
mentioned.


In short, there is no end tc the dis
satisfaction of these more sensible Re
publicans; and they are especially dis
satisfied with the Congressional ad-
dress because IT presents so weak an
apology for the Republican party un-
der the administration of Grant.

Many who have made what are termed
love matches, in seeming disregard of ma-
terial interests, appear to think that they
are entitled to take large amount Of credit
to themselves for having done so They
are evidently fully persuaded that in act
ing as they did they conferred most
valuable service upon the world at large,
for which they deserve unspeakable
thanks. They seem to forget that they
merely consulted their own iuclinations,
and that they are sufficiently repaid for
having allowed themselves to be ruled by
their hearts by the happiness which they
make point of ostentatiously showing
they enjoy To use slang term, they

years the affectionate demeanor aud
sprightly gush of their youth, or some
thing to the same effect. To induce you
to do this, they interlard their speech
with the adjectives of the "love," the
dear" the pet, and the darling" type,
aud they make a point of occasionally
caressng each other in manner which
is, though perhaps a trAe awkward, Ger
tainly calculated to strongly impress
eholders-whether in manner upon
which the causes of it have reason to

Butlerism was bad enough, but Butierphobia II
not SO morally Objectionable, Is practically as much
OF a nuisance. There are not a few people and
newspapers in this State that, whenever they

uttered by the voices Of the night, and heard in
