gimcn tTimbcv ANNUAL SUBSCRIPTION $2 5< 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” JSrWater reddens the rose, whis key the nose, and tight boots the toes. J. A. AT WO Oil & BROTHERS, BROAD STREET, DARIEN, RA..
