SATURDAY MORNING. DEC. i
FROM WANT OF BREAD.
••At the close of a bitter cold day
When the snow on the frozen "round lay,
A noor woman’s chil l
With a fate wan and mild.
In. a garret was passing away.
Gaunt hunger, 4
T)read hunger.
Had stolen the bloom from his cheek.
And his mother sat there.
With a look of despair.
To catch what her darling might speak.
“Come closer, dear mother. - ’ lie said.
“And lay your soft hand on my head,
And tell me once more,
Of that other bright shore.
Where we never shall hunger for bread.”
'Hush darling:
Peace, darling.”
Shu raised him to lull him to r st.
And she brushed the soft hair
From Ids forehead so fair.
But he died as he lay on iter breas\
The morning broke joyous and elear;
’Twas the Hi st of the opening year;
But the shouts of gay boys.
_ And the cannon’s rude noise.
Fell tttiheard on thf poor mother’s ear.
o,‘i !. h6ar 11 1
Oh 1 heed It 1
Ye wealthy, well clothed and well fed,
Iu that season of joy,
A mother and her boy,
Had perished for the want of bread,”
An Indian in a Police Court.
[From the Detroit Free Press.]
An Indian bad boon picked up
drunk, and, although it was proposed
to let bim go over the river, if was
desirable to have bim understand that,
no Indian has any more rights than a
white man.
“Child of the whispering forest, son
of the grassy plains, it grieves my
spirit to see yon here,” said his honor.
“Only a few more moons will come
and go before you will be gathered to
the happy hunting-grounds of your
brothers gone before. You are an
aged tree. Time has shorn you of
your strength. You can no longer
chase the wild condnrango and follow
the doe-bnek. The buffalo grazes in
front of your lodge, and your arm is
not strong enough to draw the bow.
The rumbling thunder and the sharp
lightning make you afraid. Once you
could not count the camp-fires of
your tribe, so many did they number;
now there is nothing left of the tribe
but yourself, two old army-blankets
and a shot-gun with the lock out of
repair. Son of the forest, why is this
thing thus, and what do you mean
by coming into my trapping-grounds
and getting drunk ?”
“The white chief has spoken many
wise words,” replied the Indian in
measured tones, resting one foot on
the edge of a spittoon. “My race has
fallen like the leaves —been washed
away as water washes out the marks
of chalk. I stand alone. My camp
fire has gone out, and my lodge is
cold and has no mat. Kawnec-kekick
has tears in his eyes when he looks to
the west and no longer sees the smoke
of many camp fires. Our great chief
tains have fallen, our warriors are
dust, and the wolf utters his lonesome
howl on the spot where stood our big
village. lam sad.”
“The red man may go,” said his
Honor. “I cannot give you back
your dead; I cannot cover the hill
and meadows with forest again; the
wild fox and the deer have sought
the deeper glens, and no power can
awake the warriors whose whoops
rang from hill to river. Go back to
your lodge; beware of fire-water; keep
in nights; vote early and often, and
be virtuous and you’ll be happy.”
A Prophecy. —But a little more
than a score of years ago a cabin or
two, nestling among bleak sand-bills,
were the only signs of civilization
where San Francisco now stands.
To-day the streets, alleys, etc., of the
Bay City number 984, and their united
length is about IGS miles. Another
decade, and these figures will be
doubled, without a doubt. We never
contemplate or read of San Francis
co’s rapidly enlarging proportions
without being reminded of the old |
English reer’s prophecy, made more l
than a hundred years ngo, that in the j
latitude and longitude of San Fran- i
cisco a city would spring up doting
the nineteenth century, that would
eclipse all other cities in the world;
that it would prosper as no other city
ever prospered; but that, when it bad
reached the very acme of greatness,
an earthquake would destroy it as
completely os though it had never
had an existance. We only note the
prophecy because there is every indi
cation of the fulfillment of its first
division; and as to the rest of it, we
may as well commit it to the mercy
of the Power that rules over the uni
verse.—Golden Era.
The Marietta Journal says:
“There is a man that now resides in
this county who removed from North
Carolina in 1815, with only two chil
dren, and was the only man by that
name in the State at that time. The
oldest one of those two children is the
grandfather of forty-two children.
He was never drunk, never used to
bacco, never carried a pocket-knife,
never had a fight, in his life. He has
been a preacher for fifty years, also a
blacksmith seventy years. He is now
eighty odd years old, and can do
pretty good work. He is the great
grandfather of the young Sampson of
Cobb county. His name is Hugh
Griggs, and he votes the Democratic
ticket”

key the nose, and tight boots the toes.
