On Monday last Il little four
ycar-old girl, the step grandchild of
Mr., George Brewer of the town of
Linden, while playing in the door
yard, where II horse was running
loose, received u very severe injury
of the head. II is supposed that
the horse must have struck the
child with one of its fore feet, as il
was not shod on its hind feet. Mr..
Brewer was the first to discover the
child lying upon the ground, and
the horse near by evidently intend
ing further mischief. We are in
formed that the physicians in atton-
dance, Doctors Vivian and Van
nusen, found on examination n
large cut of three or more inches
in length through the scalp down to
the bone and an opening through
both tables of the bone, thereby
exposing the brain. On further cx-
animation, we are informed, that
two small pieces of bone, and one
the size of n quarter of n dollar had



been driven through the membra-
neous covering Of the brain into its
very substance, tho largest portion
requiring considerable force to de
tach il from its firm and resisting
connection with the surrounding
parts. We are further informed
that the child, Notwithstanding the

BY JOHN BOYLE O'REILLY.
Where the foot fthe rainbow meets the field
And the grass respondent grow,
The earth will splendid treasure yield,
As the olden story goes. .,,
In a crystal cup are the diamonds plleo
For him who can swiftly chase
Over torrent and precipice wild,
To find the rainbOW's wandering base.
here were two in the field at work one day,
Two brothers, who blithely sung,
When across their valleys deep, winding way,
The glorious arch was flung,
And one saw naught but sign OF rain,
And one feared for his sheaves unbound;
And one is away, over mountain and plain,
Till the mystical treasure is found.
Through forest and stream, in blissful


dream


The rainbow lured him on;
With SIRENS guile it loitered awhile,
Then leagues away was gone.
Over brake and brier he followed fleet;
The people scoffed as he passed;
But in thirst and heat, and with wounded feet
he closed on the prize at last.
It is closer and closer-he wins the race
One strain for the goal in sight,.
Its radiance falls on his yearning face
The blended colOrs unite
He laves his brow in the iris beam
He reaehes-Ah, woe! The sound
From the misty gulf here he ends his dream,
And the crystal cup is found!
IT'S the old, old story. One man will read
His lesson of toll in the sky;
While another is blind to the present need,
But sees with the spirits eye.
You may grind their souls in the self-same


mill,


You NAV bind them heart and brow;
But the poet will follow the rainbow still,
And his brother will follow the plow.

suferings. Sixty years have now passed
since the day when their land was de-
stroyed and their temple ruined, and still
they had not forgotten for one moment
their holy mountain and their divine
sanctuary. The Romans have degraded


prosecuted and maltreated them; they
have trodden upon them as upon dust
and although upon the streets they
seemed quite calm and subdued, as pla-
cid as marble, in their hearts they bore
intense hatred and burning desire fo1
revenge, and here in their miniature
sanctuary they gave vent to their grief
and their tears flowed. They read the
Book of Lamentations, whose words
burn like fire, and whose sentences can
melt even heart of stone.


When they had finished reading the
scroll, a deep silence reigned in the
house of prayer, and an aged man upon
whose countenance was inscribed sanctity,
solemnity and grief, rose from amid the
congregation and ascended the steps of
the pulpit to address the assembled wor-
shippers. That man was Rabbi Eliezer
Hamodai, man honored by even the
highest aristocracy Of the Roman empire
and respected at the palace Of the mighty
emperor Adrian. He opened his mouth
with wisdom, and began to speak words
of consolation as we'll as of mourning to
the hearts of his brethren. He spoke
in this manner: ALAS, my brethren and
my nation, we have sinned and trans
gressed again and again, and for this we
have received punishment from the
hand of God, for it is now the second
time that our country has been laid
waste and our temple burned on this very
day. Alas! on this day our city was de-
stroyed and the glory of our sanctuary
departed. On this day our crown fell
from our head, the diadem of Israel came
down, it fell from the height of the stars
to the depths Of the earth; it fell, and
has not yet arose again. The children
of the strangers who worship polluted
idols now rule over our holy land, and
have placed their denominations upon the
mountain consecrated to our God.
Through their hands the Daily Sacrifices
have been abolished, the house of God
has been ruined, and the incense Of the
burnt-offering no more ascends to the
throne of God. In the place whence
chants of hallelujahs ascended to the
God of glory, there now ascend shouts of
lust to the honor of idols and deaf ima-
ges, and in the Holy of Holes, the holy
resting place of the most High, there
now stand idols and molten images. Woe
unto us, the God of our fathers has be-
come wrath with us for we have disobeyed
his commands and rebelled against his
laws. Even now, when we have returned
to Him with all our hearts, He has de-
parted from us. His spirit has become
displeased with the congregation Of Is
rael. Salvation is not wrought in the
land; our wonderful redemption is far,
far away; there is no longer any prophet,

no visions are seen, and no one Of us
knoweth how long this is to continue.
When will God become appeased from
his anger, and have mercy again with
his people; when will God pardon the
remnant of Judah, and be reconciled to
the remainder of the flock which is de-
livered unto slaughter? But let us not
despair my friends and brethren; let us
not complain against God who is just
and righteous; let not our hearts fail us
nor our spirits grow faint. Behold God
is near to all the broken-h hearted who
call upon Him from the depths Of aff1ic-
ton, and return unto Him with all their
heart and soul. God who neither slum-
bers nor sleeps is guarding us, His eye
constantly watches us, even though he
may appear to have forgotten us. Can a
woman forget him whom she loved from
the womb, her only son? Even so can
we be forgotten. The Lord our God will
neither leave nor forsake us; the eternal
mountains may move, and the everlast-
ing hills may quake, but the covenant Of
His protection will not depart from us,
and the promise which He has given to
our ancestors in days of old, will never
be broken. The heaven with all it's hosts
may fade like leaf; the earth with all
it's productions may disappear like
smoke, but the word of our God will
stand forever. Therefore come and let
us return to God; let the prayers of our
lips replace the rams; let us sacrifice to
God the evil passions of our hearts in
stead of oxen, and the sinful desires Of
our souls instead Of sheep and goats.
Let us erect an altar to God in the re-
cesses of our hearts, and let us conse-
crate sanctuary to the Rock of Jacob
in the privacy of our souls. Let us lift
up our prayers to the living God for the
peace of our king the Caesar Adrian,
who was made king by God the King Of
kings; let us pray for the prosperity Of
his large and powerful country, for
through the welfare of our king and his
country we also will have peace, and will
remain unmolested and undisturbed."


That holy man had not yet finished
his words of wisdom, when murmuring
voices could be heard in all the corners
of the house. The words of the speaker
could no longer be heard for the confu-
sion became greater and deeper every
moment, when finally some impudent
man arose and exclaimed loudly: "This
man desires not the prosperity of Israel,
for he is beloved friend of the Romans,
our enemies. and the destroyers of our
land. He has sold himself to them, and
has become traitor towards his breth-
rem and the land of his birth, and there
fore he advises us to humble ourselves
before the blasphemers of God, and to
bear the iron yoke which that tyrannical
nation has put upon our necks."


Words like these stirred the depths of
the heart of Rabbi Eliezer Hamodai,
and he wanted to answer his abusers; he
wanted to show them the great reward

man Is taken to the contrary those who win

should fully inform themselves of the facts.
We have no disposition to arraign the patri-
otism or honesty of any man uniustly, but
observation goes far to establish the fact
that such zeal as attends this new measure
of reform, as it is claimed, is not purely q
child of unselfshness. Patriotism, pure and
simple, does not usually incite to q wild ro-
mancing with facts and figures for the nc

We have no idea, little respect rs we have
for the political principles and policies OF
the Democrats in Congress, that they will
openly become accomplices in an attempt
TO give the Government Printing Office
away, to shut ii up, or to farm it out to the
breaking up of an established economy and
convenience to the Government to crafty
the cupidity of ring of plunderers. That
is all there is of this new measure. 1t seeks
personal aggrandizement at the public ex-
pense It seeks TO upset system that has
served the Government better and cheaper
for the same class of work than ever before
under contract. Experience is good tutor
in life's affairs and should be needed in
forming judgments and arriving at conclu-
siOns If the present system Is vast i'm
proyement on that of contracting, as form
erly, and those in the Departments who
have had to do with both bear strong tes-
timOny of that fact then why should the
Government take step backward


The unanimous testimony Of those who
have long served the Government in its
several Departments where large
amount of printing and binding are
required, and who have had much expe-
rience in such matters, is that the print
ing and binding for the Government is much
better and moro promptly done, and, as the
records show, for much less cost for the
same amount of work than formerly. This
testimony is available now in the expert

piece was a dish of ripe English gooseberries
aud French cherries, and opposite the melon
a dish of white grapes. Between the dishes
of fruit stood a small vase of cut flowers On
the top of each dish of fruit was laid some

dressing heated discussion for minute at

4 TEXAS CAVE TowN.-A correspondent of
the Chicago Tribune, writing from Texas


says: I'VE passed through n town some
ninety miles northwest of Fort Worth called
Oregon City, whose inhabitants live in caves,
not particularly because they are savages, or
know nothing of the comforts of civilized
life, but merely on account of scarcity of
lumber and the distance from market. I'm
comfortable as this may sound, the inhabit-
ants Of these caves live most comfortably


the atmosphere is cool during the summer,
aud they tell us that, during the coldest
weather of last winter, they actually suffered
from the heat in what they call their adobe
houses These caves are not natural forma-
tous, but are dug out of side hill, are about
the size of a moderately large room, and at
the side farthest from the entrance have a
fireplace, and hue running up to the surface
of the ground, farther up the hill than the
entrance. Good ventilation is thus secured,
and, with good drainage above, the cave is
quite dry. The idea is good one for frontier
settlers who have not the wherewith to buy
material for better habitations. This little
town was begun last fall by a colony from
Oregon, and contains about twenty families" "
