SOMERSET,
THE P LOWBOY".
I wonder what he is thinking
In the plowing fii'M to-dar;
He watches the heads of his oxon.
And never looks this way.
Ana the furrows grow longer ami longer
Around the base of the bill,
And the valley is bright with the sunwt.
Yet be plows and whiftles still.
I am tired of counting the ridges,
Where the oxen rome and go.
And of thinking of all the blossoms
That are trampled down below.
I wonder if ever he guesses
That under the ragged brim
Of hi torn straw hat I am peeping.
To te.il a look at him.
The spire of tin- churrh and the windows
Arc all ablaze in the sun:
He has left the plow in the furrow.
His summer (lay's work is done.
And I hear him carroling softly
A sweet anil simple lay.
That we have often sung together
While he turn the oxen away.
The buttercups in the josture
Twinkle ami gleam like stars;
He ho gathered a golden handful,
A leaning over the bars.
He has shaken the curls from hii forehead
And is looking upthis way.
, where is my sun-bonnet, mother '
He wxs thinking of me all day.
And I'm going down to the meadow.
For I know he is waiting there.
To wreath the sunshine blossoms
In the curls of my yellow hair.

"Oh, nioilier, mother, I am so
tired.''
"Cheer uj , my child, we have not
very far to go. Come closer; let me
brush the dew from your cheek.
Now take my hand."
Rut the child hung back, sobbing
with weariness and exhaustion, and
the pale young mother, bending over
her in the vain attempt to soothe
the hysterical excitement, did not
hear the rumble of advancing wheels
., . i i i & i. , j -
until t uey putri-a cio:c to tier aim a
rouph, hearty voice exclaimed:
"What ails the little girl? Ain't
sick, is she?"
Marv Ellsworth had never si-en
Farmer Raynerlbre before; yet the
moment her eyes rented on his wrin

brows overshadowing kind eves,

made answer promptly:
"Not hick, Mr, hut very tired. We
have walked a lone way."
' Out much farther to jro," asked
the fiiniKr, tickling the horse's ear
with the end of his whip
"To Rreckton."
Mr. Raynesford gave a low whis
tle. "That's four miles off, and the lit
tle girl is prettv nigh used up al
ready." "I know it." said the woman, with
a sigh, "but I have no money to hire
a Iodizing nearer. In Rreckton I
hope to obtain work in the factory."
Farmer Raynesford gave the seat
of his wagoM a thump with his w hip
handle tnat mane old Lonney drop
the mouthful of clover he wa nil
bling from the roadside and prick up
his ears in astonishment
"I won't hear no such thing !"'

child can't go twenty rods farther I
Here, gtt in along with me. You
won't lie none the worse for a bit of
supper and a good night's rest 1
know Hannah'll scold." he mutter
ed, as he lifted the little girl to his
Iside, and extended his hand to tne
mother; "but I can t see folks per
ishing by the wayside and never of

to hear; he was bupy lifting little
Marv out
i-Sct on them blackberries, Han -

their evening meal; "the little gal's
so tired out she can't eat nothing
solid' .
1 was calculating to keep the
bliickbernes for the donation oartv
to-morrow," said Mrs. Raynesford,
rising with rather an unwilling air.
"Nonsense," quoth the farmer,
with 'a broad laugh, "I'm having a
donation party of my own to-night
Here, little one, see if those berries
don't put some color into your
cheeks. '
All the evening little Mary sat by
the hearth with her hand in her
mother's and her large blue eyca
fixed earnestly upon the kind farm
ers face.
"What are you thinking about,
dearest?"' asked Mrs. Ellsworth once.
She drew a long siidi and whispered:
"Oh, mamma, he is so kind to
us!"
When Mary Ellsworth and her
little one set out next morning on
their long walk to Breckton, Job
Raynesford went with them to the
g.ite, fumbling uneasily in his pocket
and glancing guiltily around to make
sure that Hannah was not within
seeing distance. When Mary ex
tended her hand to sav good-bye, to
her astonishment a bank bill was
thrust into it.
"Don't say nothin'," mut'ered
Job, with a sheepish air. "Ten dol
lars ain't much tn me, and if you
don't chance to get work in the fac
tory right away it may ne a goon
deal of use to you. "Needn't thank
me you're a welcome as the flow
era in May."
He bent over to kiss the child's
fair forehead, and stood watching
them until the two slight figured dis
appeared, and only the golden sky
and moving cre.-ts of summer woods
remained.
"Ten dollars !" tjaculated Mrs.
Raynesford, who had witnessed this
little episode from behind the cur
t this of her milk room window.
Is Job Raynesford crazy? To sh'e
ten dollars to a poor, strolling va
grant ! If he don't get a piece of my
mind "'
And she hastened out, her cap
border faiily standing on end with
horror. Job waited the coming

lips parted in a good natured smile.
It was not the first piece of Han
nah's "mind" that hi.d been bestow
ed upon him, nor did he suppose it
was likely to Le the. last.
"She means well," he said to him
self, when tht volley of wrath had
been discharged on his luckless head,
and Mrs. Raynesford had returned to
her butter making, "but she's got
the greatest faculty for scolding of
any woman I ever saw."
The yeare flitted, sprinkling the
steep old farm house with crystal :
drops of April showers, and thatch- j
ing it with the dazzling ermine of
January snows, many and many ahow he had given them money and
time. (ray hairs crept in among
the raven locks of Farmer Raynes
ford, the care-worn wrinVles began
to gather around his mouth and
brow. Alas ! those swift-footed years
brought troubles innumerable to the
kind old man.
"Twenty years!" he mused, one
bright June morning, "it don't seem
possible, Hannah, that it was twenty
years aeo this very day that I caught
that ugly fall from the hay rack, and
got laiac for life."
He looked down at the crutches
by his side as he spoke, and sighed
from the very bottom of his heart.
Hannah stood in the doorway toss
ing corn to a lorloru little colon- of
chickens. Twenty years had not im
proved her in any respect she was
gauntier, bonier and more vinegar
faced than ever.
"Yes," said she slowly, "and per

was just twenty years ago to-day
that you threw 810 awav cn that

"I s'posed he was an honeot man,

lovelv woman in a while cashmere
ers in a bouquet She wore a spray 1
; of berries, carved of pink Neapoli-
j tan coral at her throat, and tiny
j pendants of the same rare stone in
j her shell-like ears, and the slender
: waist was tied around with a pink
j ribbon.
i "There, Walter, isn't that pretty?''
isne asked, nomine; up her completed
bouquet
" ery pretty," he answered, look
ing not at the roses and geraniums,
but directly at the blue eyes and
golden curls of his beautiful young
wife.
"You are not even noticing it,"
she said.
"Because I see something so much
better worth looking at," he said,
playfully.
"Do you really love me so very
much?" she asked, throwing down
the flowers and coming to his side.
He rose and drew her carelessly
toward him.
She let her head rest for a moment
on his shoulder, and when she rais
ed it there w;is a tear on one of her
eye lashes.
"Oh, Walter, if mamma could only
see how happy we are !"'
there was a knock at the door.
Mrs. Everleigh slipped from her
husband's arm and was very busy
with her flowers when the rich law
yer's "right hand man" put his griz
led head into the room.
"The old man wants to see you
about that Fairweather business."
"Show him in. Don't look sri dis
appointed, love," lie said, as the
grizzled head disappeared. "I shall
not be detained three minutes, and
the horses are at the door."
Mary Everleigh never troubled
her little head about business mat
ters, so she never looked up as the
halting sound of old Mr. Raynes
ford 'h crutch echoed on the carpet.
But the moment he spoke she start
ed bs if an adder had stung her, and
her slender hands clapped together,
listening ts intently as though her
life depended on hearing every
word. The old man was pleading
and sorrowful; her husband politely
inflexible. At length Job Raynes
ford turned to go.
'Well, sir," he said in a subdued
tone, "I don't know much about law
and law books, but it does seem hard
that an obi man should be turned
out of the home that has sheltered
iiiui for sixty years, and all for no
fault of his own. They say you are
a very rich gentleman, sir; that may
seem a very small sum to you. but
it is my all.
Mrs. Everleigh's soft voice broke
the momentary silence that succeed
ed this apjieal.
"Walter, come here one minute
I want to speak to you."
He obeyed somewhat surprised;
she drew him into a deep recess of
stained jdass window, and standing
there with the rosy and amber
shadow about her lovelv brow, like
some uur pictured sami, sne toia
him how, twenty vears ago, a wea
ried child and mother were fed and
heltered by a kind hearted stranger;
kind wishes, when thev were utterly
alone and desolate in the wide
world.
"But, my love, what has that to
do with uiv bu.-intw? matters?"
"Much, Walter. I am that little
child !"
"You, my dearest?"
"I, my husband, and the noble
man who I am persuaded saved my
life that night stands yonder, with
gray hair, bowed head, and sinking
heart."
"Marv, vou must surely he mis
taken."' 'I cannot be mistaken, Walter.
I should know him among a thou

"What is it, dearest?"
"Give me that note he spoke of." !
.Mr. fcverleisU silently went to a
small ebony cabinet, unlocked it,
and drew out a folded paper, which
he placed in her hands. She glided
up to the old man, who had been
gazing out of a window in a sort of
a reverie, and laid her soft hand on
his arm.

crookedness, just the same as the
owner of any other dangerous ani

Supposing a boy walks up and
throws a stone through your bay
window and shatters a tine callaaud
busts the stitue of the Sweet Singer
of Michigan, you do not go out and
chase him four blocks with an iron
rake and club him till he gets out
of reach, but you just get an old hoe
handle that swing3 e:isy, and you
search out that boy's parents, and
wear them out with that hoe handle
and mix them up wi h the sand.
Then if the boy don't behave him
self you can go to other relative? of
hi?, and gradually enlarge the circle
of your acquaintance, until you have
mauled the entire relationship, even
inc'uling the old grandparents of
the boy, and if any of these people
resist they are subject to imprison
ment This law, apparently stringent, is
a good one. It makes parents take
more interest in their children and
look out for them more accurately.
It encourages parents to know where
their boys are, and to keep their eyes
on them more than they do here in
Laramie, or in (Jreensburg either.
Why if that law were to go into
force here some men we know would
have to take an arnica bath twice a
da', and they wouldn'thave a whole
bone in their body. We like to see
a bright, nctive boy, with good
health and sound lungs, but the
thriving blossoms that will develop
into a -Jesse James, we h-;ve no use
for.
If the Chinese law could be en
forced here against those parents
who are breeding up a squad of
hoodlum
would be

a pretty active work for
the avenger and his hoe handle, but
it would institute a reform at least.
As it is now, a building cannot be
left unoccupied ever night before
every pane of glass is broken and
walls smashed in. Now, if the own
er had a right to climb the male pa
rent of these boys ami knock his
shoulder blades through his spleen
and tangle his works all up so that
hereafter his food wotildnt beany
benefit to him, it raight arouse an
interest in his children so that he
would make them an ornament to
society.
You can't do much with a strange
boy, anyhow. If yon spank him
with an old window shutter, he goes
home, tells his father, and the old
man tells him to go right back and
do the same thing and he will stand
by him. Then the boy returns and
repeats, and you start alter him with
the intention of killing him, but as
he turns the corner a quarter of a
mile away and puts hi.s thumb on
his nose and waves his fingers in the
air, you control your brutal temper
and go home.
That's the reason why in twenty
years from now it will be a bitter

meaning of the records that have
come down to us from Arabian

and desserts, the pages of which are
written in blood with a sword for a
pen. Let the old history lie upon
the shelf, and gather the mould and
du?t of ages, and be forgotten. Let
the memory of the old teacher whose
penalty was death 'for all oilWiists,
who awarded "an eye tor an eye, a
tooth for a tooth, and a life for a
life," let his name pass out of the
memory of mankind, like the name

jtiie carehss shepherd and thecon
j servative wok. The shepherd at
j close of day usually cantented him
1 sell by gathering his innocent lambs
into the fold and barring the gate,
j Then he resorted to his humt.le
'lodge at the gate and abandoned
nimsen to refreshing sleep. Now
there was an old ram, stricken with
years and dreadful Jv tough, and the
shepherd invariably left him to
shilt for himself without the fold.
The old ram generally spent the
night in patrolling on the outride of
the fold, pausing frequently to
peep longingly through the palings
where the peaceful tiot k slept the
sWp of the innocc it. But the pal
ings were high ami strong, and
proof against all assault. A con-
servative
wolf, powerfully mot-oil
by his affection for lambs regarded
the movement of the old ram with
lively concern. He also noted that
the shepherd slept at his post Af
ter many nights spent in sleepless
vigils, the wolf tipped at the door of
the shepherd's lodge. "Who
knocks?" said the shepherd. "It is
I, Lupus, the vigilant," responded
the wolf." and I would I iave srieee h
of thee."
The shepherd opened the
window.
- -
"What
dost
thou gwk
wim me
asked
the
shepherd.
I have noticed, replied the wolf.
"that a ravening old ram is prowl
ing about the fold seeking the harm
of these lambs of thy charge. I am
certain that he contemplates a
breach of the fold and the destruc
tion of thy flock whilst thou sleep
est." "Now may heaven preserve
us!" quoth the -hepherd. "since it
has come to this, that a keeper of
sheep is reminded of his duty by
one whose jaws are dripped with
the blood of innocent lambs."
The application of this beautiful
story is left to the Democratic man
agers who keep watch and ward
about the Independent fold. The
gentlemen who are in chafe of
t'nat fold in u-t feel highly compli
mented by the exhortations ad
dressed to them by these Democrat
ic managers. They are constantly
warned that the Stalwart ranis and
wethers who occasionally peep
through the palings of the fold are
licking their chops in anticipa
tion of a grand feast on spring Iamb.
Poor lamU ! If these Demo
cratic exhorters are to be be
lieved, they do not know enough
to take care of themselves. They
are asked to apply to the pack of
wolves who circle at a safe distance
around the stalwart rams and weth
ers for counsel. They are invited to
come out of the fold and place them
selves under the protection of the
conservative wolves, who have a
great regard for innocent lambs
Nothing .- edifying, nothing so
pregnant with the millennial period
has come to pass within a genera
tion. It bent the concern exhibi
ted by the Democratic leaders for
the men who led the anti-slaverv
movement. "Comeim rto us," said
those leaders to the frfe-soilers in
those days, "because we are the
true friends of freedom." Iiut the
invitation was neglected, probably
because the anti-slavery movement
was led by men of brains and com
mon sense, and the Democratic lead
ers were knaves and liars. Falsehood
and knaverv still remain the distinct
ive traits of Democratic leadership.
The leopard has not changed his
spots, and the wolf still retains his
inclination for spring lamb. Mean
