and to secure thorough organization
wherever there is the slightest chance of

they have little chance, they uniformly

ness OF Judgment and vigor of rule rare
ly excelled by the best of prison wardens


At one time desperate confined in one
of the cells attempted to escape by making
man of straw, reclining upon his couch
as usual, while tho flesh and blood prisoner
secreted himself in an empty cell and
awaited the advent of Mrs. Latty, who in
the absence Of her husband, entered the
Jail room to lock up the prisoners for the
night. When she came to the cell con-
tanning the man of straw, very clever
imitation of a man asleep, she called his
name, and, hearing no response, entered
and detected the cheat. Instead of calling
for help in an emergency which plainly in
dicated plot and determination upon
the part of one or more prisoners to break
Jail, Mrs. Latty quietly proceeded to the
other cell and marched the prospective fu-
gitive back to his cell and locked him up.
As he was heavy, muscular man, and
the deputy sheriff u slender, light built wo-
man, it is evident that nerve triumphed
over muscle. Womanly courage was more
than match for brutal force and the des-
peration of the criminal seeking to fee
from the hands Of justice.


On another occasion, two young men in
q cell refusing to cease their prcfane and
boistsrous language, the deputy entered the
cell and gave them sound fogging with
a whip, until, with tears in their eyes, the
rascals promised better behavior.


The last exploit of our deputy, and one
which recalled to our mind the preceding
incidents, was the taking of prisoner to
the penitentiary few days ago. A man
who had been arrested for stealing car
pet bag at the Union depot in this city,
last January, was sentenced at the last
term of the District court to two years. i'm
prisonment in the penitentiary, and was
taken to Fort Madison by Mrs. Latty alone
without any assistance from others, and
duly delivered to Warden Kelsey. The
astonishment of tho Warden and the Fort
Madisonians knew no bounds. -Burliagfn

Generally speaking, woman's mission is
to fill the relations of wife and mother.
Nor do we undervalue the Joy which a
maiden must feel when she can at once
love and respect. There are calmer and
deeper, but no more ecstatic, earthly
pleasures than the thrill of the hearts of
two who mutually love, and, believing
themselves to be made for each other, look
forward to the hour which shall consum.
mate their union, and from which their
blended lives shall fow in one groove, un-
til death has effected separation which
is only temporary, inasmuch a. beyond
fashionable society, where not to shine is
to remain unnoticed, and the consequent
attempt to display qualities which attract
attention, are not very favorable to the
the grave they anticipate q joyful reunion.
And not much cause for wonder is there
in the fact that women court such pleasure
for themselves, and, so far as modesty al
lows, seek to attract the attention which
may make it theirs. But not the less is it
to be deprecated that the means adopted
to secure it are such as, while appearing
to secure, do in reality interfere with the
end in view. Early introductions to
formation of those mutual attachments
where increasing acquaintance leads to
love and respect. The accomplishments
which cut figure in ballroom are not
those which sensible men desire in their
wives; and indiscriminate dancing, in
which members Of the different sexes pair
of, although mutually unacquainted, often
brings young women into contact with
men to whom they should be ashamed to
speak, and from whose touch they should
be taught to shrink as from vipers fangs.
And when marriages spring from such in
Productions and acquaintanceships, what
is to be expected but that they win
prove as unhappy as they were ipjudi-
ciously formed? The man whose love 10
worth having will not seek his wife
there, but in the quiet of home, where
he can observe her domestic habits and
become acquainted with her qualities Of

tion and P0rer.

l. Be always telling, from her earliest
childhood, what beautiful creature she
is. 1t is capital way of initiating the
vanity of little girl, to be constantly.ex-
claiming: "How pretty' Children un-
derstand such fattery even when in the
nurses arms, and the evil is done to the
character in its earliest formation.


2. Begin as soon as she can toddle, to
dress her out in fashionable clothes and
rich dresses. Put hoop upon her at
once, with. all the artificial adornments
of founces and feathers, and flowers and
curls. Fondness for dress will become a
prominent characteristic, and will usurp
the whole attention Of the young mortal, ,
and be long step toward spelling her.


3. Let her visit so much that she finds
no happiness at home, and therefore will
not be apt to stay there and learn home
duties. 1t is capital thing for spoiled
daughter to seek all her happiness in Wis
iting and change of place and associates.
She will thus become as useless as mod
ern fashionable parents delight that their
children should be.


4. Be careful that her education gives
her smattering of all the accomplish
ments, without the slightest knowledge of
the things really useful in life. If her
mind and time are occupied in modern
mplishments, there will be no thought
of the necessity and virtue of being of
some real use to somebody pervading her
heart, and she will soon be ready as a
spoiled daughter.


5. AS consequence, keep her in pro-
found ignorance of all the useful arts of
housekeeping, impressing upon her mind
that it is vulgar to do anything for your
self, or learn how anything is done. A
spelled daughter should never be taught
the mysteries of the kitchen such things
lady alway, leaves to her servants. 1t
would be "vulgar" for her to know how to
dress a salad or make pudding.


6. To complete the happiness of your
spoiled daughter, marry her to bearded
youth with soft hands, who knows as little
how to earn money as she does to save it.
Her happiness will then be furnished for
her lifetime.

SOOSAAnsS = I'd memo TONI Shf
An old wife sat by her bright fireside,


Swaying thoughtfully to and fro
In an ancient chair, whose creaky crow
Told tale of Long Ago:
While down by her side on the kitchen floor
| Stood basket Of worsted balls-a score.
The good man dozed o'er the latest news.


Till the light of his pipe went out;
And unheeded the kittens, with cunning paw


Rolled and tangled the balls aksat
Yet still sat the wife in the ancient chair,
Swaying to and fro in the freight glare.
Bat anon misty tear-drop came
In her eyes of faded blue,
Then trickled down in furrow deel,


Like simple drop of dew;
So deep was the channel-so silent the stream
The good man saw naught but the dimmec
eye beam.


Yetmarveled he much that the cheerful light


OF her eyes had weary grown.
And marveled he more at the tangled ball


So he said in gentle tone,
"l have shared thy joys since thy marriage


vow,


Conceal not from me thy sorrow now"
Then she spoke Of the time when the basket


there


Was filed to the very brim,
And now there remained Of the goodly pile
But single pair--for him;
Then wonder not at the dimmed eye light
There's but one pair of stockings to mend to-


night.


cannot but think Of the busy feet,


Whose wrappings were wont to lay
In the basket, awaiting the needle fleet


Now wandered so far away; !.
How the sprightly step to mother dear,
Unheeded fall on careless ear.
For each empty nook in the basket old.


By the hearth there's an empty seat
And miss the shadow from the wall,


And the patter Of many feet
''Iis for this that tear gathered over my


sight


Atthe one pair OF OfstOekings to mend tonight
Twas said that far through the forest wild
and DER the mountains bold,
Was land whose rivers and darkening caves
Were gemmed with the rarest gold;
There my irst-born turned from the oper


door,


And knew the shadows were only four.
Another went forth on the foaming waves
And diminished the baskets store
But his feet grew cold-so weary and cold
. They'll never be warm any moro
And this nook, in its emptiness, ,seemeth to me
To give me no voice but the moan of the sea
woothers have gone toward the setting sun,
And made their homes in its light,
And fairy fingers have taken their share


To mend by the fireside bright
Some other basket their garments fill
But mine oh ! mine is emptier still.
Another the desrest-the fairest-the best
Was -aken by the angels away,
And laid in a garment that waxeth not old,
In land of continual day.
Obi wonder no more at the dimmed eye light
While | mend the one pair of stockings to-


night.

loved and honored and venerated him SO pro-

South will feel that the country has lost its
pride and glory, and that the citizens of that
country have lost father / dare not VEN

the English language is spoken, but wherever
civilization extends, the sorrow-a part. at
least, Of the sorrow we feel--wilI be felt. and
more eloquent tongues than mine will tell the
fame, and recount the virtues, of Robert L.
Lee. We need not come to praise him. We
come only to express our sympthy, our grief,
our bereavement. We come not to mourn

We come only to extend our sympathy to
those who are bercaved.


Now that he is fallen, may mention what

him i'll the duty to which his beloved country
men called him, but what noble sentiments
inspired him, when he saw the cause for
which he had been fighting so long about to
perish. Just before the surrender, after n
