took out q well-flled pocket-book and

lifting up his own hat with the So hat
inside, he said


"Say, young man, give me some pa

The shopman said, Certainly. and
handed him newspaper. The young
man wrapped up the parcel, and the
two young men left.


As soon as they were gone the shop
man put on his hat and followed them
several blocks, until at the corner OF
Chambers street he saw policeman.
Then tapping the young man with the
parcel on the arm, the shopman said:


Excuse me. sir, but I think you did

"Why, of course did," replied the
young man, taking the hat of his head
and looking at it.

A few evenings ago d citizen of Oswe-

The child was taken in and tenderly
cared for. A few days afterwards the
captain of the night watch traced out the
mother and took her into custody, the
offence of abandoning q child being a
serious one. The mother is from Vol
ney, about twenty-four years old, re-
spectacle and respectfully connected, but
obliged to leave her husband on account
of his drunkenness. She visited Oswe-

tie girl on Mr.. Aliens doorstep in fit
of desperation. Ouly an idle Curiosity
could be satisfied by giving her name,
and it was withheld. Mr.. Allen, the
gentleman with whom the babe was left,
received from her the following touch

my husband, left with only one dollar to
take care of baby and 1, without a single

pleasant face through crevice, and the
blind impulse to leave my baby took

Poor little one, deserted by both father
and mother. Oh. how my heart aches
to see you. I walked by your dwelling
this evening to try and obtain glimpse
of her, but could not. Oh. if you have
ever lost any dear little child, you will
know how to pity me. I wish you
would just write one word, and let me
know what has been done with her, as 1
ran away so would not be discovered. l
did not know whether you cared for her
or not. You need not be afraid to keep
her on account OF her birth, for it is
honorable. Her parents are of good
family and were legally married four
years ago last September. This little
one, our only child, was born August
14,s1S70. Her name is Lnnette. As
God is my judge this is the truth. Oh,
if you will only care for MY darling you
will surely be rewarded, if not in this
world, you will in the world to come.
Please just write one word to the address
given below, and relieve the suspense of
mothers aching heart. If she should
live to be of age and you keep her, 1
would like to have her have this letter,
if you think best, that she may forgive
her mother for deserting her. Heaven
bless and keep her. My health is very
delicate and the doctors say cannot
live long. Oh, my baby, good-by, Oh,
good-by? Here followed the address.


All who read the above will be glad
to know that while the little one is well
cared for at the Oswego Orphan Asylum,
benevolent persons are arranging to pro-
vide shelter and employment for the
mother, either at the Asylum or else.

The INDIANS AND THE FoURTEENr,,
AMENDMENT.-A New York journal says
that it is still an open question in tho
Indian Territory whether the Fourteenth
Amendment applies as well to the red
men as to the white, and adds


The Greek Indians still hold the ne.
groes in bondage, although the amends
ment alluded to was supposed to abolish
slavery in all the States and Territories
of the United States. The District At.
torney of the Western District Of Arkan,
sas is in quandary, and has written to
Washington for instructions. Ofcoursa
the Constitution is the supreme law of
the land, but the difficulty is that in our
treaty with the Indians we have recog,
nized them as distinct and separate ma.
tions, with the right to manage their
domestic affairs in their own way. To
get entirely rid of slavery it may become
necessary to abandon the traditional
policy of the Government in treating
with Indians.

The American Rural Home
publishes q communication from
F. P. Root, one of the best farm
ers of the country, on the subject
of manures, in which he makes
the following statement, showing
the superiority of raising and
blowing 10 heavy crops of manure
over a system of negligence call.
ed msnuring in q natural way {:
Two adjoining fields, divided by a
rail fence, have been long under
cultivation, and clover was often
plowed in as manure for a suc-
ceeding wheat crop. The fence
was taken away, and the whole,
as one field, summer followed and
sown with wheat. The strip
where the fence had stood, and
where the grass had so long
grown and decayed on the surface,
did not produce near the crop
which grew on the other side
where the clover had been plowed
under.


There were strong reasons for
this difference. The grass which
grew and decayed on the surface of.
forded little else than vegetable
mould. This could not enrich the
soil several inches down, and did not
possess in itself the fertilizing char
acter of clover. The clover was
plowed in, and was intimately
mixed and diffused all through
the soil, where the roots of grow
ing plants were to penetrate. The
vegetable mould remained only
on the surface, and could only op,
crate as a mulch.


We have heard such facts as
this cited in proof of the folly ot
the practice of spreading yard
manure on the surface, and never
plowing in. The truth is, this
mode of manuring would be OF
little use if it were practicable on
cultivated fields. But fortunate.
ly, the very act of cuItivating
works in the manure, and it can.
not, as a matter of course, remain
at the surface. which the plow is
throwing under. 1t is an excel
lent practice to allow spread ma
nure to remain on the surface for
time, especially through autumn
and winter, until the water OF
rains and melting SHOWS, diffnse
the soluable parts intimately with
the earth. When this is done.
then is the time to plOw under
this enriched top stratum, and it
will be worth double the same
manure in Jumps unmixed with
the soil.


Top.dressing without plowing
under tie manure is an exception,
because the fibrous character OF
the roots serve to carry down the
manure in solution, which could
not penetrate the compact layers
of bare soil. But turning under
the manure is often Of great bene
tit even on grass-more especially
on thin upland. Surface manur-
ing on such land, although bene
fetal to a certain degree, will no,
give it the power to grow heavy
grass and Withstand severe
droughts. Men are apt to run to
extremes, and having discovered
the successful results of surface
applications in certain cases, they
may carry the practice too far,
and omit the deep, thorough plow.

which can alone supply a rich and
