"BE JUST AND FEAR NOTi RICHMOND, MY DARLING'S SHOES. God bless the little feet that can never go astrav. For the little shoes are empty, in my closet laid away, sometimes take one in till I see my hand, forgetting 1 is a little, half-worn small for me : shoe, and much too And all at once 1 feel a sense of bitter loss and pain. And sharp aa when, two years ago, it cut my Heart in twain. Ob, little feet, that weary cot, I wait for them no more. For I am drifting on the tide, and they have reached the shore : And while the blinding tear-drops wet these little shoes so old. ' - I try to think my darling's feet are treading ' streets of gold ; And then I lay them down again, but always turn and say, God bless the little feet that now so surely cannot stray. And while I thus am standing I almost seem to see The little form beside me, just as it used to be; The little face uplifted, with its soft and tea oer eyes Ah, me II might have known that look was born lor faradise. I reach my arms out fondly, but they clasp the empty air, For there is nothin of my darling but the shoes he used to wear. Oh t the bitterness of parting cannot be done away Until 1 meet my darling where his feet can never strav : When I no moi e am drifted upon the surging tide, But with him safely tacded upon the river side. Be patient, heart I while waiting to see the s Dining way, -For the little feet in the shining street can never go astray. . l&tcta. - TURN" THE CARPETS. . As at their work tw weavers sat, Beeuilinir time with friendly chat, They touched upon the price of meat So nigh a weaver scarce couia eat. "What with my babes and sickly wife Quoth Dick, I'm almost tired of life ; So hard my work, so poor my fare, lis more than mortal man can bear. 'How clorious is the rich man's state I His bonse so fine I his wealth so great I Heav n is unjust, you must agree : Why all to him T Why none to me T "In spite of what the Scripture teaches, In BDite of all tho parson preaches. This world (indeed, I've thought so long) Is ruled, methinks, extremely wrong. Where'er I look, howo'er I range, 'lis all confused, and bard and strange ; The good are troubled and oppressed, And all tho wicke t are the bless'd." Quoth John, "Our ignoranco is the can so Why thus we blame our Maker's laws Parts of His ways alone we know Tis all that men can see below. "Seest thou that carpet, not half done, W hich tiiou, dear Dick, hast well begun ! Behold the wild confusion there ; So rude the mass, it makes one stare. "A stranger, ignorant of (rado, Would say, no meanin's there conveyed ; For where'a the middle, Where's the border f The carpet now is all disorder." Quoth Dick, "My work is yet in bits, But still in every part it fits ; Besides, tou reason like a loutWhy, man, that carpet's inside out P Says !ohn,"Thou sayst the thing I mean, And now I hope to cure thy Bpleen 5 This world which clouds thy sonl in donbt Is but a carpet inside out. "As when we view these shreds and ends, We knew not what the whole intends ; So when on earth things look so odd, They're working out sume scheme of God. 'No plan, no pattern can we traceAll want proportion, truth and grace ; The motley mixture we deride. Nor see the beauteous upper side. "But when w reach that world of light. And view those works of God aright, Then shall we See the whole design. And own the workman is divine. , - "What now seem random strokes, will there All order and design appear. Then shall we praise what here we spurn'd For then the carpet shall be turned." "Thou'rt right," quoth Dick "no more 111 grumble That this sad world's so strange a jumble j , , My impious doubts are put to flight, For my own carpet sots me right." OUR SATURDAY NIGHT. Waiting to be Called For. We saw her there this Saturday afternoon, as so often bofore, sitting on ono of the stone steps leadtog into the house, corner or tuteenth street and Fourth avenue. A poor old blind woman, with eyebrows white as snow, from pain long-felt and suffered. As did others, we burned on where busi ness led the way, engrossd ia thought. Returning about 5 o'clock thero she eat, wrapped in on old woolen shawl, long and thread-bare worn, with a little hood on her head. In her lap a little market-basket, with a few small boxes of matches in the bottom; obe hand at times feeling about as she counted the boxes to know how was her stock in trade. Sitting thero in the chill; looking so poor and neglected we could not help stopping to ask ''How do jou sell your matches, good auntie?" "Two boxes for, five cents, sir." I want two boxes.' 'Thank you, sir.' ' , Now I want two more. Thank you very much,' sir.' Now 1 want two more boxes.' Her Hps began to quiver, her nervous haud felt in the basket aa she handed them out, with an 4Oh! sir, I thank you, very much. You have four boxes more auntie I want them also Somehow it seemed so nioe to stand there and keeping matches till the basket was empty and onr pockets filled. As the old lady, who had seen her childhood days more than sixty years ago, real ized that her eoods were all sold and paid for, she turned her weathi er-beaten face and sightless eyes nn with a thankful look and said: Yon are very kind, sir' and I thank you I do, indeed, air.' Never mind the thanks they

are all gone and you can go borne now and rest.' 'I wish 1 could.eir, bat I can't go yet.'. ... wny not? All your matencs are sold ' - 'Because, sir, I most wait till somebody conies to lead me.' Yes. yes! How stuped not to think of that. How little do busi ness-men thins of things little to them bat great to others. Who comes for yon?' 'My little grand-child who works n a corset-factory down-town. 'When does she come?' About 6 o'clock. What time is it now, sir?' Seventeen minutes past 5. , 'She'll be here pretty soon, and can rest here till she comes, now that my matches are nil sold. Then wo bade the old lady good afternoon, and walked briskly to the sanctum and its never-eend work. Waitingttill somebody comes to lead me home?' For hours we have been tbi nking of these words so full o( food for thought. Think ing of that poor blind woman and of the poor everywhere . It must be terrible!. No light! ISo look ing upon men, and nature, and art, and fields, and houses, and beauti ful things . Shut your eyes half an hour and see how it sezms think how it would seem to be thus deprired of sight all one's life. Tninkini of toe old lady, we have been looking at . many thing3 a3 never beforo. At the desk and its beauties. At the furniture ot tho room at the pa- 1 per before us, the cnt-glasa inkstand the well used pen in enr hand; tho shape of our hand and fingers; at so many things we have not time nor room to mention them all. And she can see nothing. W by do you know one's eyes alone arc worth more than diamonds, all tho gold in tho world! Not for money beyond measure would wo part wi-.h ours, for dow we see a never ending picture, wnu us sights end shades; here a- bit of shadow, there a broad piaiu of sun shine, joy, and sorrow, rest and labor, friend and enemies, helpers and hinderers, as we work and wait for some one to call for ns! Some one to call for us!' Thank God for that. And how little we all see, after all. Many there are who have eyes, yet never see. But we do to night. We see shadowy forms all about us. We see visitors who would be invisible to tl03e not able to see beyond the narrow limits of human vision. Friends in our room smiling friends, who whisper sweet words to our heart who smile approv ingly and nod happily to each other as they come and go, finding ns at work for others. Sometimes they como often. They see us whether we do them or not. They come to us some times when tho clouds are low, the winds cold, tho walks of life are Oiled by those who crowd, and jostle, and trample down, and spatter those who are in their way. They come as we came to the poor blind woman, with good pence, good tnouguts, good ideas and good snggestions. i hey come and tell us to turn this way, or that way, or to sit still and work and wait while they go some where, explore the way and look down into the hearts of the people, then return to tell us what they saw there and whut they know They come to ns with bits of life of experience. With ideas gath ered on distant shores. Tellies: us which words will drop best in to this heart and which best into thatone. Oh! we are good friends. They who so often visit ns tell ns where we can walk where we can runwhere we can rest. They tell us that before long they will come and lead ns home, where we can see more plainly than now, and where we can with, them, all workins for mm who is never seen but felt in hearts, speak to others, help those who are blind, whisper kind words to the disheartened and help sow over the land good seeds of kind thoughts, which ripen into good deeds. Sometimes we go with our friends to other scenes ana oiLer places, rney snow us bow .they work, even with those who ate b'.ind, but who some day win see as we do. x ney suow us how they do good. They whisper good thoughts and worthy ideas to students, thinkers, writers and workers. They lift hearts ' above 6torms and point to the rest after life's final Saturday Night shall be ended and we can go home. They show oa how they whisper to work era how to succeed. How they di rect the ideas of inventors to this plan, that working and that appli cation all to be followed toy that result. They tako us with them on ihort visits to show us how they encourage workers, and build in their hearts bowers of hope how they visit this one and that one, sometimes to be received and sometimes not, as men are blind or deaf, or stnbborly walking Diinaiy in tne old wars and tane led labyrinths leading only to dark gropings and dreadful . forebo dings. - - They tell ns to work here, aa by so doing we fit ourselves the bet ter for the work Over There.

So we work, content to know, for they have told ns, that before long some one will call for ' us to take ns Homo. The poor blind, woman has faith. She believes. She bides her time, listens to the kind words of those who come and "go, passing her day after day, waits for familiar footsteps which tell of the looked-for coming, and i happier as draws nigh the hour when she can be taken home to her comfort and rest, when comes the faithful guide and the bles3od Saturday night " V :,4BmCK" PoilKIlOY. Another Word abont Dv", ' This from CnarJie Phillip?, the boy-editor of the Kokomo Junior. Being a boy he ought to know a thing or two about it. We are not out with all boys, nor do wo desire to be meddlesome, but it is a fact that the . conduct of many of the boys of this city as well as of all other places deserve severe criticism. The trouble is we can't reach them directly, for, they don't read,, many of them can't.. The Sunday School does not reach them for there are not enough of persons r, willing to go oat in the highways, the alleys and lanes to gather thero ia. The only proper instructors for them are their parents, but we actually believe what we say when wo state that thero are plenty of little boys in this city who are not seen by their parents from morning till night, a few ho are only seen in the summer once in two or three days, sometimes only once a week. It is a fact that many parents do not take half as much interest in their boys as they do in their pigs and cows. They put bells on tho cows and go in search of them if they remain away ono day, while they pay no attention to tne aosenoe of their boys if they are absent the same length of time. These little candidates for jails and penitentiaries, are seen at the door of every show, begging soma one to take them in, they are here and there, everywhere except doing something useful. Why is it that parents are so very careless? Can anybody tell. The free schools are now In session, and every yontn Detween the ages of five and twenty one is entitled to instructions. wny should one child be absent from school? If there is to be a great day of Judgment, in tho future, a day when parent and child shall each have to give an account 01 their employment of time, surely he will point to his father and say 'it is his fault be never made me work he never gave me employ ment to keep me out of mischief." This is a matter of small impor tance. . Let parents think or their duty and then do it. No boy should be allowed to ran at large like a wild animal. He should be in school or at home, unless when sent away on errands. It is the duty ot parents to see that their boys do not grow up to be nrstclass loafers. Romance of a Brown Blown Boy. In the ve r 1840 a erand barbecue and public meeting was held at the Tippecanoe battle ; ground, w at which some or the most famous orators in the country,UcEr Clay, we believe, among the number, were announced to speak. I he occasion was one of great interest and people from every section of the State found, their way uiere to participate in the meeting. Among the number was araggej boy from Brownstown Jackson county -t There being but one picca of rail road in the Mate at the time, trav el on foot or by - delay -of stages was the only means of transpor tation. This boy determined to go to tho meeting and having no money to pay tare on staei, iett his home on foot, iic traveled until he reached a point near whero Gosport now stands, when he was overtaken on the road by a gentle man from Terre Haute on horse back . : The name of thid gentle man our informant ha3 forgotten, but knows that he was a merchant in that plaoe, then a small vil lage. A conversation ensued be tween tne boy and tne merenant, the latter inquiring whither he was going. The ragged urchin replied, "uoiog to tne meeting at A tppe canoe." "Do yon know how far it is, niy boy?" No," replied the boy, "but I am going." The boy was invited to get up behind and ride awhile with the' merchant, which invitation he irladlv accept ed. . While riding along, tho merchant discovered that his compans ion had energy and determination that would one day make a man of him. He told the boy that if he would eo to Terre Haute with him he would give him employ ment in his store- The boy re luctantly gave up the idea of go ing to Tippecanoe, and : accepted the offer. - . , . Beaching Terre Haute, the boy was put in the merchant's store as an errand boy; which pasition ho filled with promptness and en rK7 gaining the confidence and respect of hie employer. He was

This ragged boy is now President of the TerreHaute and New Albany Railroad, and his name is Win. B. Tuell. Sensible" ward abont adve Mining. The Pittsburgh Post says that a gentleman when negotiating' for additional space in that paper, remarked, "I might as well quit business as quit advertising." The New York , Times says a wholesale grocer in that oity who became rich in his business, aaya his rule always was, when be sold a bill of goods on credit, to immediately subscribe for the local paper of bis debtor. So long as his customer advertised liberally and vigorously, he rested, but as soon he began to conttact his advertising space, he took the .fact as evidence thero was trouble ahead, and Invariably went for his debt SAid ho. the man who feels too poor to make his business known is too poor to do business." The New York Journal of Com merce savs: People who nervous ly sit in counting-honses,or behind their goods, waiting tor customers to tako them by storm, and making no effort to let the world know the bargains they have to offer, will find the season very uo propitious. Many of those who .have spent arse sums in luring drammers ana paying for other well known appli ances to trade, nave effected targe sales but swallowed up too large a share of the receipts In sucn enor mous attendant expenses, ine bost remuneration has been found by those who have returned to - - . A. l more legitimate, old lasnionea methods of pushing their business. We sav it. not simply because we are interested in this line of oxpen diture, but as our best advice to all who wish to be enterprising and secure a lareer custom, there is nothing so effective to this end as judicious advertising. A little advertising may bo like a gentle touch of the whip to poor Dobbin's is?, 'a mercy thrown away, nut a liberal outlay is almost certain to bring it in a largo return, and this will last even beyond the current season . We do not believe that any who have valuable service or desirable property to offer can fail of reaping a rich harvest by continuous advertising on a large scale. Lot the people know where you are what you have to sell how cheap you sell and that you want to sell. Let them know all this, and tho way to do it is to adver tise. It will bring you trade; it will bring you money. If a man wants to buy anything; he goes where the most men are buying it, and he goes to tho men who ad vertise, becaushe knows where to and teem, lnis 13 tne great se cret of success Sorrow. Sorrow sobers us and makes the mind genial. And in sorrow we love and " trust our friends more tenderly, and the dead becomes dearer to us. And just as the stars shine out in the nisht so there are blessed faces that look at ns in our grief, though before their features were fading from our recollection, buffering! Let no man dread it too much, be cause it is good for him. and it will help to make him sure of his beinar immortal. And it is in sor row that night of tho soul that boo farthest, und know our4vcs natives or ianoity, ana d&Ughters of the Most High. The Germans" are beginning -to J understand at what price they have purchased . their national ascend ency in Europe,and to see that while they compel France to in demnify them for the financial cost 01 the war, they can not escaoe their own full share of the evil reulting from the contest When the Prussian Diet recently indulgeu in some criticisms of the budget t was asked to pass, and showed a disposition to reject some of the items as unnecesarv in the meal vas or extravagant in amount, tne .a official representatives of the Gov - ernm ant reminded the members that on the unimpaired strength of the army alone could Prussia rely for security, stating it as a wellanderstood fact that France cher ishes an imp'.acablc hatred for her conqueror, and will seek a terrible vengence as soon as the in doa nity shall be paid. The warning given by the ministry is doubtless a needed one. The peace made at Versailles is unquestion ably hallow. The - French sur rendered when they could fight no more, only to prepare tor a re sumption of hostilities under more favorable auspices. The peace is a trace to be ended whenever rap-idly-reouiting Franco shall feel herself . competent to meet her enemy again on the battle-field, and that France is oapable of speedily becoming, a first-class power again, appears to bo evident even to wermany, wnose peace mast be maintained by an army constantly on a war footing, with tne possibility ok actual war when ever the French shall feel suffi oiently strong to undertake a con teat Peace even on each terms ia better doubtless than wan bat national greatness at such a price ia uaruiy no uuuiiurtauie hi se iuoigumwouvo.

The following is an abstract of the annual report of the Secretary of the Interior, for the year ending October 31. 1871: The humane and peaceful policy which has been inaugurated by the Government in the conduct of Indian affairs for the past two years has been productive of grati fying results. The board of com missioners authorized by the law of April 10, ,1869, oomposed of citizens distinguished : for intcllgence and philanthrophy, and se;vlng without pay. has assisted tn wuuarawiug : iron. . wa inuian service much that has been here tofore regarded as the source of evil and injustice, and which is supposed to have preveuted the success of public measures intend - ed as a means of civilization. The services of that board have exercised a wholesome influence in establishing the now . policy, and its active aid and co-operation in carrying out the measures of the Government in that behalf have been valuable to this department. The most noticeable effect of the new policy thus far has been to suppress Indian wars and dep redations, to unite tribs upon reservations designated for them by Government authority, to improve their education in letters, in the practice of agriculture and other industrias, in the reformation of prevailing vices, and the gener ally gratifying evidences of a degree of progress which offers good reason to hope for the gradual social elevation and christainization of the rase . 1 The Indian population now number tho jurisdiction of the United States, according to the most reliable date to be obtained, is about 321.000. This number includes '75,000, the estimated Indian population ot Alaska, and 3,663 scattered throughout tho Stales of Florida, North Carolina, Indiana, Iowa and Texas, not maintaining tribal relations Excluding thoso in Alaska and those scattered throughout the States just named, as not practically withan tho scope of the new policy, and the remaining Indian population is 242.371. located as fol lows: Washington Territory,. .15.487 .24,503 Oregon California . . . . .7,383 .....5.066 .....6,000 ....12,800 ....18.640 .....7,300 ...27,815 4,469 . .1 . 18,835 ,....2,400 6,410 .....6,052 63,476 ..... ,677 .....6.355 Arizona.
