Your petitioners farther represent that within the said portion of said district there is sufficient population and persons subject to militia duty to authorize the eg ablishing anew district as provided by law. Wherefore your petititiooers pray that Your Honor appoint three commis sioners, citizens of said 827th district, to lay out and define the bnes and boundary of said Txew District, and such other order and proceedings as are necessary and. law ful to cary out the objects petitioned for, and your petitioners will ever pray, &c.

A licai taehe ttrst, an hot and keen As that a dro’aght must br.ng to earth. While "this and that” of treasures stored I lift, and muse on vanished worth. And wish for luxury of tears To come, and cool and ease the pain. *Ti* Baby’s little satin shoes That tail the clouds und bring the rain And looking at the dainty things I wonder if her pretty feet Have grown too large for these “wee shoon’’ Since they have walked “the golden street”; Or keep they still their wondrous charm* Of rosy hue and fairy size. That as I held them in my palm, Woke gleams of wonder in her eyes? I live once more in that far time When she. in crowing, witching glee, Looked down upon her untried feet, These satin shoes, jut laced, to see. And then I prayed, with wisdom’s dower She might the better pathway choose. For all her steps I longed to keep The sheen and ease—of satin shoes. And then—there came dark days in June, Of months, till then, the fairest one, And she—her sister angels joined. And eeased the stepping scarce begun. No shadows ciitne to her sweet Lice, Nor heart, nor hand, nor foot had bruise When I gave back the treasure loaned And kept—her little satin shoes. —.4.

Ktlloyg Xetrtpaper Co.] CHAPTER Xl.— Continued. “But, Judge,” said the sheriff, re spect fully, for he seemed aware of tho fact that his re-election depended, in a great measure, upon the efforts of the man before him. “what am I to do with the child? I can’t put it in prison.” “Send it to the poor-house.” “Humph! I can’t do that without an order from the court.” said the sheriff, with a frown. “I could.” “Well, I can not,” said the puzzled sheriff. “The court will have to de clare it a pauper first.” “Well, then leave the child here with me; I can take it there, and Bill Jones will keep it for me until the court sets. He owes his position as proprietor of the poor-house to me.” ■ “Yes,you can probably manage it that way. The child is sick.” “Yes, but not dangerous. “1 kind o’hate to part them.” “O poll! they’ll forget each other in less than three days. They are more brute than human, with no feeling save that of hunger, cold or heat, just as any other animal.” Was James Arnold speaking his real opinion ? Certainly not, though there are many others of his like who advance the* same argument. Oh, if it should only-be carried home, that he might feel the bitter pangs of tearing heart strings asunder, would he not turn missionary for the cause of the poor, depressed, and oft times wronged crim inals ? “Take her away, Belcher, take hei away at once,” said Judge Arnold, his chin so high that mercy was over looked. “Well, but Judge, tills is a matter I’d not like to be hasty in; 1 can hardly bring myself to tear that girl from her brother. Good Heavens ! if she should be innocent after all.” “Do you think I am a fool and a per jurer?” cried Arnold, angrily. “No, no,” answered the sheriff, apol ogetically, “1 did not know but what there might be a mistake.” “Well, sir, I think there is no mistake about it, unless you make one in not doing your duty.” “1 think I will do my duty as an official, Judge, if 1 know it,” said Belcher, hotly. “It is very clear; I don’t see how you can help seeing it.” The utter heartlessness of Arnold vexed the sheriff, hut he was forced to perform his duty as an officer, -painful as it might be. He went up to the girl, who, know ing what was coming, had been school ing herself to recover her self-posses sion, und said: “Come, Miss Helen, get ready; I must take you to Newton.” “Can my little brother go?” she asked, pleadingly. “He is so small, so infirm, and so foud of me that he can hardly live without my care.” “Oh, he will be treated with the most tender care, I assure you,” said the sheriff, “I can not take him to-day, but 1 hope you may soon return.” “Will you answer me a question or two?” asked Helen, now almost calm again. . “Yes.” ‘What will be done with me?” “I will take you to Newton.” “What then?” “You will be taken before the magis trate, Squire Bluffers.” “Well, what then? I know little of law and its processes.” “Well, you will he arraigned and your case set for trial. If you can give bond you can return here or go wherever you please; but if you fail”—then the “why don’t you take iiek away?” sheriff failed, he found it almost im possiblc to inform that ]x>oi\ proud spirited girl of the result of a failure. But she w:is determined to know the worst. “What if I fail?” site asked. “Committed,” wai the answer. “Do you mean sent to jail?” The sheriff podded. The prosjieet of entering a jail for one moment is horrible. To forever blight the fair name of which she was so proud; that name which neither her parents or any of her ancestors had al lowed a blot upon, and now to blacken it as a criminal. Wo cau scarcely uu- derstand the feelings of Helen at that moment. She imagined herself in af'er years, even if she was proved in noeent. a hlaekened, blighted creature, shunned by all and pointed to as a thief. Notwithstanding all this, Helen wn.l gloriously conscious of her own inno cence. She had done no wrong, and the certainty of bad consequences to her little brother, should their parting be violent, made her assume a cheer fulness .she was far from feeling. She donned her hat and put a light shawl ai>out her should* rs, then, kissing her little crippled brother, said: “Little Amos must be a good boy until sister comes back. lam going to Newton and hope to come back soon. Do not be afraid, little darling, God will watch over and care for you while 1 am gone.” The little fellow was silent, but large tears rolled down his pale cheeks. Helen had reached the kitchen door, when a sudden impulse seized her; she ran back to.tlio child and clasped him in her arms for the last time. But she did not weep, those great silent tears of the child told how he was affected, and she dared not let him know her own feelings. “That's all for effect,” said Arnold, haughtily, as she passed out at the door with the sheriff at her side. The farmer sent his hired man, John, with the roekawav to take them to the village of Newton. Helen bore up until they were on the road, and then, wringing her hands, she cried : “Oh, farewell, farewell, my poor unfortunate little brother, I know I will never see you again.” CIIAPTKR XII. ~ ’W* LITTLE AMOS AT THE POOR-HOUSE. Little Amos witnessed the departure of his sister in silence. Mrs. Arnold, with her face convulsed with strange emotions, tame into the kitchen, but she dare not speak. The silent grief dropping in great tears from those blue eyes was enough to awe her. The child began to sob timidly. He was afraid to make any outcry. Mrs. Arnold and her daughter were now busying themselves with preparing dinner and grumbling that Maggie had gone away. The child sat by the win dow in his chair, unnoticed. His face was llushed and pale by turns. His breathing was short and quick, and it was evident that the soaking rain of tlu* day before had brought on a cold, which might prove dangerous. But no one noticed him. The dinner was prepared almost in silence, with an occasional spell of grumbling on the part of Mrs. Arnold. When the meal was ready the family gathered about the table, giving no thought to little Amos. Poor child —lie hail no appe tite for dinner, ami could have eaten but little had it been offered to him. When dinner was over, the dogs had been fed and a few nice lid-bit.s given to the eat. and crumbs gathered up for the pig, Mrs. Arnold thought it would be well to see if “that child” wanted any thing. She found him gazing ab stractedly from the window, and his little face wonderfully white just now. “Don’t you want nothin’ to eat?” asked Mrs. Arnold, standing by the boy, her head high in the air. “If you please, ma'am,” said the child, in a low frightened tone. She then wheeled his chair about to a kitchen table, and placed a jijate be fore him, on which were some potatoes, bread, and cold boiled meat. The little fellow took a potato and nibbled the end of it, then took a bite or two of bread but his appetite was gone. lie seemed sinking, sinking down to death. “I don’t see why you dpn't j?ot rid of that brat,” said ilallie to her father, whom she met in the sitting-room. “I will as soon as the hired man comes back with the roekaway,” was the answer. The hired man came back about the middle of the afternoon, and Judge Arnold went into the kitchen where the boy was. “Come, Amos,” he said, in tones intended to be cheerful, “we must go.” “Where ?” asked tin 1 boy, fixing his large, wondering eyes upon the man. “To Bill Jones’, our friend, my boy, who keeps all such boys as you.” “All such boys jus you !” Need Judge Arnold have insulted the poor afflicted child? Were not his suffering's great enough without further wounding his feelings? But the feelings of the boy were deadened by pain and suffering. We can be tortured until the nerves become destroyed and senseless to pain, and the bewildered child was in that condition. The hoy, complaining of his back, which had been hurt by his fall in the morning, got from the chair. Placing his hands upon his knees, he hobbled along to bis crutches, which stood against the wall. Taking them under Uis arms, he found his little faded cap and put it on his head. “There is a shawl they brought,” said Mrs. Arnold. “Put it around him,” commanded Judge Arnold. The woman obeyed, trembling vio lently, she coyl j not tell why. “Now, father, the carpet bag, take that along.” Arnold seized the plain old carpet bag containing a few clothes for the child, as though it were a contemptible thing, and then, followed by the little cripple, left the house. “Come on, come on!” said the impa tient man at the gate, holding it open for the child, who w%s slowly and pain fully coming toward it; “you can go faster than that, and I know it,” The poor lit tle fellow tried to increaso his speed, and stumbling, fell. He ut tered a cry of pain, and Mr. Arnold, with an oath, commanded John to carry him to tin* carriage. The kind-hearted John took up the little beggar for was lie not a beggar now?—and carrying him to the vehicle places! him in as comfortably as he could. The child bore his suffering with scarcely a murmur. As James Arnold sat in his easy car riage, which was whirling away toward the poor-house,he had no thought for the little occupant. He did not see the an gelic expression of that sweet little face, or appreciate his great trust in an Almighty Father. Amos Lakemau Was young, not to exceed six years of age, and no larger than many ehiklren at four, yet he was educated in misery far beyond his years. He was always a cripple, possessing that sweet, patient disposition which God so frequently gives the unfortunate, lie had always been loved by every one who knew him, though none took sufficient interest in his welfare to provide a good home for him. Charitable institutions were not known on Sandy Fork—unless one meant the poor-house, and it was no charity to lie sent there. The carriage rolled up to the door of the poor-house, which was simply a row of long, miserable buildings, some jf logs and some of frame, while one for the hopelessly Insane was made of •'tone. The proprietor, a large, Jookingman, with uncombed hair, com ing out bare-headed, and in his shirt sleeves, his hands in his pockets and yawning lazily, said: “llello, Judge, that you? Well, who in the name o' tarnation ve irot there, anyway?” “Anew charge.” “Why, there's no court.” “That makes no difference, rill; 1 11 make it all right when court does set.” “Wall, ef ye say it's all right, Judge, I'll take him; v r know.-’ THE POOR-HOUSE KEEPER AND THE NEW CHARGE. “I know this case will be all right, Bill. Take this boy and I will have you fixed up as soon as county court sets.” John, the hired hand, offered to carry the little cripple in. “Can't he walk?” asked Bill Jones. “Not very well,” answered John. “lie can walk a great deal better than he pretends,” said Arnold, in his merciless manner. “Wall, I'll bring him out o’ his lazi ness,” chuckled Bill Jones. “I’ll find work for him to do. He kin pick up chips, or weed the onion beds.” John, who had more humanity in his soul than either of his superiors, took the child in his arms. “Oh, ya’as ! ye jest take him to that second log house an’ set "im down there sum’ars.” Little Amos was carried in the strong arms of the kind-hearted John to the house indicated. The room into which the sick boy was ushered was miserable, indeed ; the floor was uncarpeted, the walls of bare logs were black with smoke, the cracks between the logs had been closed up with’ filthy rags, and at the rear of the room were two miserable looking beds. Gathered around the fire-place, in which were a few coals, were half a dozen wretched creatures, live women and one man. They were clothed in filth and rags, and their long, uncombed hair hung about their shoulders, or was tied in knots with strings. The day was slightly cool, and the poor mortals were doing all in their power to instill some warmth into their bodies. They were growling, pushing and snarling, more like ani mals than human beings. Long suffer ing had filled them with selfishness. Little Amos was placed on a hard c-liaie near the door. He did not dare go too near those creatures, they seemed so much like wild animals. Occasionally they turned their sallow faces upon him. One was blind, two were crippled, the man was partially insane, one woman had the rickets, and the other was too old and feeble to help herself. These objects were disgusting and frightful to look upon, and Amos expected from the glances they cast upon him that he would be soon torn to pieces. “Oil, Helen ! Helen ! where is sister Helen?” he cried, weeping bitterly. CHAPTER XIIL IN JAIL. Mr. Belcher, the sheriff, had a kind heart and did Jill lie could to cheer Helen. “I hope, Miss Lakemau, it'll not be as bad as you think. I hope you will come out all right.” “No, no !” said Helen, her face groiv ing more calm and pale, “I know that shame, ruin and death will come out of this ; I am in the power of persons bent upon my ruin, and nothing on earth can save me.” “Who do you think is bent on your ruin ?” “Mr. Arnold and family.” “Why, groat goodness! why would they want to ruin a poor girl like you?” Helen was silent. She could not answer this question, though she knew the answer to it. She could not tell him that the Arnolds Lad determined to have the educated and accomplished Warren Stuart a member of their fam ily, and that the pretty face of the hired girl Was in the way. That Helen Lake man, arrested and disgraced, would lose her beauty even in the eyes of her infatuated lover. She dare not tell the sheriff what her honest convictions said were the living truths, for they would not be believed. The sheriff waited for her to speak. Belcher had been an officer long enough to regard every person arrested as a criminal. Of course, this girl was guilty, He felt very sorry for her. She was young, beautiful and intelligent, and she was often tempted. He resolved, in his own mind, to intercede with the court and prosecuting attorney and have her pun ishment ;is light as possible. It would go much lighter with her, he knew, it she would own the thing right up and make a clean breast of it all. lie re garded it as his duty to advise tho girl to do so. “Helen,” he said, in as kind and fatherly a tone its he could command, “you are a young girl, and perhaps know nothing about law.” She box Aid her head to receive the advice, which site knew would come. “I feel sorry for you on account of this trouble you have got into,” the sheriff said, “and I want to talk to you jis if you were my own daughter.” The carriage was rolling along over a smooth piece of wood, and the sheriff knew every word the girl said by way of confession could be heard by the driver, provided she denied it after ward. The sheriff determined to work up the ease if possible. Helen was still silent, and he continued : “You are. young, thrown upon the world without an adviser or friend, and now if I can help you any 1 would be glad to do so. Your crime is a serious one, to b?gin with, and, what is more, you will be convicted of it. The proof against you is overwhelming, and there is no power —no lawyer on earth—that can make a jury believe you art inno cent.” [to be continued.] —Boarder (just entered) —“ Why, Indio, Oscar, thought 1 heard you talk ng to some one as I came in?” Oscar —“So 1 was talking, just saving good morning to these lish-balls; had the same ones every mornim* for a week.” — l'hiluddpkia 1 'run.
