The Little Xischlef.
Onlj- a -Rree little mortal.
Asleep on the nnrsery Soor,
3Ild a pile of neglected playthings
"Which litter the -whole room o'er.
Two little fat arms lylns
Over a enrly head.
And smiles which awaken the dimples
Parting the lips so red.
Kitty-cat Bits by the Are,
Too disgusted to purr.
For some one has spilled white powder
All over her glossy black for.
3Iy basket has gone from the table.
My work has been emptied out.
And spools, and cotton, and thimble
Are here and there scattered about.
Here's dolly with arms and legs broken,
And a terrible crack In her head.
And her cheeks washed white asa lilly.
That once were so rosy aad red
Poor Fldo the puppy is whining ;
Poor fellow I no wonder you wall !
I wonder what mischievous fingers
Fastened that cup to your tall !
It was only that wee little mortal.
Asleep on the nursery floor;
And nnrse stands aghast at the litter
Which covers the whole room o'er.
"Well, pick them up patiently, nurse,
Over and over again,
Een though that bundle of mischief
"Will make all your labor in vain.
Better a home with a baby.
And a floor all littered with toys.
Than one that Is empty forever
Of ehiidish prattle and notse.
So here's a kiss for the darling'
Ob forehead, and mouth, and chin,
And wherever I find a dimple,
I'll smuggle the kisses in.
Youth's Companfan.
EDITH'S BEOOCE.
"There, that's enough, young wo
man," said the harsh voice of Mr.
Garnet, the jeweler, as a young and
timid female still lingered near his
counter. "I have made yon the offer.
If you like to take it, well and good ;
if not, you had better be off at once.'
Still the girl hesitated.
"Can you not do any more for me ?
The brooch is so very valuable. It
has been prized as one which is ex
tremely rare," she pleaded.
"My good girl, do be reasonable. I
have given my ultimatum. I never
make two prices," said Mr. Garnet,
sharply. "I can waste no more time
on you."
And the jeweler turned frcra the
young lady and Jady she was, in all
her look a:-d attitude and tone to a
customer who had just entered the
shop.
"Is rny pin finished yet?" he in
quired. And Mr. Garnet turned off" to a
neighboring drawer to brlog the
trinket forth from its hiding-place.
"There it is, Mr. Tr&raus. I hope
it will prove all satisfactory, sir,' wa
the civil reply, as the jeweler brought
it to the counter. "It was a tiresome
job, and we will be obliged to charge
accordingly, it will be $40, sir."
Mr. Trevaus drew out his pnrse,
and paid the money without further
comment.
But as he did so his glance fell on
the splendid diamond and ruby
brooch that was still repciug on tbe
counter near its shrinking mistress.
! and then it turned on the young lady
btr?e!f wlih keen though not atten-
i tive observation.
Hers was a face and figure that
I could well bear inspection.
f
j Paul's gaze furtively rested on her
j winning charms, while the jeweler
j wrapped up the beautiful breast-pin
i that had been so costly in its repair.
The young man Jounced carelessly
about the shop, examining its prec
ious contents, and now ancthen ask
ing the price of the tempting articles,
while Edith Montrose once again
spoke to Mr. Garnet, In a low, eager
tone.
"The brooch is worth $500, I have
often beard. I will be content with
?30. Can you not give it to me?
Even then it is a great loss," she ad-
ded. plaintively.
Mr. Garnet hummed and hawed,
looked again at the jewel, and again
appeared to give way.
"Well, well, I always was rather
soft where youth and beauty were in
the case. I expect I shall lose; but it
cannot be helped. I will give you the
money. There, write this receipt and
your name and address, and it shall
be a bargain."
Edith sighed deeply, hut there was
no alternative ; a young sister and an
invalid brother depended on her for
support.
Was it for her to prefer a trinket,
however valuable, to their comfort
and welfare?
Ine thought emboldened her to
conquer feminine repugnance to such
a s&crifice.
The pen was seized and tbe acquit
tance gien during tbe brief absence
of the jeweler.
But as he returned to his post with
the bank-notes, another customer en
tered, followed by a large Newfound
land dog, who made up to Edith and
fawned upon her with singular marks
of affection, while his master began
to inquire for the articles that he re-
I quired from the store.
"Can I go? Will you please give
I me that sum?" faltered Edith in a

e customer.

BEOWNVILLE, NEBEASKA,
"What kind of a brooch were yon
wanting, Mr. St. Croix V asked the
jeweler of his remaining customer.
"I have not long since purchased one
of exceeding value and beauty, which
I should like to show you."
Mr. Garnet looked round to point
out the jewel in question ; hot jt was
not visible. He searched the jewel
cases, the papers, and the inkstand
from which Edith had taken the pen;
but in vain.
The brooch had vanished. 25b trace
of it conld be found, and Mr. Garnet's
Ire was both loud and deep.
"Theyoung minx! Yes, there can
be no doubt of it! I am seldom so
utterly befooled. But who conld have
believed such a thing? She really
looked like a lady. Well, she shall
suffer for it, cost what it will. I'll
have no mercy. Mr. St. Croix, now
am I not justified ? You are witness.
Xiook here at this receipt."
And he displayed the graceful
handwriting of his young client to
Mr. St. Croix's stern eyes.
"A trick, of course. You never can
be up to them; they have as many
disguises as a detective," he returned.
"However, I shall be very happy to
bear witness in the matter, Mr. Gar
net," he added, pocketing the jewels
which he bad just purchased from
Mr. Garnet's store, leaving the jewel
er to the indulgence of his wrath.
"Young woman, we have a war
rant against you. You must come
with us," said two ferocious-looking
individuals, or, at least, they had a
most formidable appearance in the
eyes of the poor girl and her invalid
brother, as"they entered their humble
apartment.
"For what? There must be some
mistake,' faltered the girl, shrink
ingly. "2Tot at all. We never make mis
takes. Ain't your name Edith Mon
trose?'' they asked, sharply.
The girl bowed her head.
"Ah! yes; It's all right. And
weren't you In the shop of Mr. Gar
net, yesterday, jeweler. In Old Bond
Street?" was the next query.
And again tbe assent was mutely
given.
"Very well. Thenyon're the right
person ; and if yon don't chooae to
give np the brooch you stole, we must
take you off at once to prison," was
the reply.
"I have no brooch. It Is fajse! I
sold it," exclaimed the girl, with
flashing indignation in her eyes and
face.
"Ha, ha ! Wt know -rrfaat all that f
means. We must search the house if
you are still obstinate, young lady,"
returned the elder man.
"There are but three rooms on this
floor that belong to me. I and my
brother and sl.-ter lodge here," she re
plied, sadly. "My brother is in one
of tbe rooms. He is ill. Please do
not shock him with such a dreadful
falsehood, " she went on, presently.
"That's your look out; not ours.
You should not have done it," the
nan answered, grufSy.
But tbe other whispered a few
words to him thatsomewhat mollified
bis hardness; atyd when they pur
sued their search to the invalid's
room, they so far softened their man
ner as to refrain from fully explaining
their errand to the astonished Cecil.
"Well well ; its very cleverly hid
den ; but you'll be made to turn it
out, young lady," said the official.
"You must come with us ; and if you
chooae to tell your sick lad there not
to expect you back. It will, perhaps,
save some trouble."
Poor Edith shivered ; but her love
for the suffering Cecil prevailed over
her woman's fears, and she quietly
told him she might have to give some
evidence about a lost brooch, and that
the younger sister Mable would take
her place in his room. And with this
last brave attempt to conceal her suf
fering, she departed with her rough
escort to the degrading destination of
the police court.
The ordeal there was brief enough.
There was no defence; but still only
presumptive proof of ber guilt. So a
remand and a humane permission to
ocenpy a room under surveillance in
stead of going to a common prison,
was given by the Indulgence of tbe
bewildered and doubting magistrate.
"Miss Montrose, I have obtained
leave to see you. I trust you will
pardon the liberty I am taking in this
self-introduction, and in obtaining
permission to take up your case," said
a gentleman, who had just been an
nounced to the young prisoner In the
rough and ready style of her jailor.
And Paul Trevaux stood before her,
with a frank yet respectful air that
was adapted to win at once her confi
dence and her respect.
"You are very kind, but I do not
know you." she said, timidly. "I
have no friends to help me prove my
innocence, and it is unfair to expect
a stranger to believe when proof is so
strong against me."
"Never mind whether it is fair or
not," he replied, smiling. "It i
enough that I do trnst you as I would
myself, and that, being a budding
barrister, I Intend to. win lanrels in
vindicating yon trinmnhantlv as an

presumption ?"'
Edith's eyes filled with tears for the
first time since her misfortunes.

the money, and left 'the jewel, while
he was engaged with another gentle
manthe one with a large dog, I
mean."
"And you are Eure the brooch was
on the counter then ?" he asked.
"Quite sure," she replied, and then
the subject dropped, and the conver
sation turned on other topics, and
Paul heard, with much difficulty, the
sad story of the young girl's early
troubles, how she and her brother and
sister had been left orphans, and that
all her energies had been taxed to tbe
ntmost to meet the demands on her
courage and her time by such a bur
den. And though she only distantly al
luded to any peculiar difficulties, the
very fact of parting with so valuable
a family jewel, was enough to prove
the straits in which they had fallen.
Paul lingered till the last moment
of bis time, and then departed, more
than before convinced of the Inno
cence of bis fair client, and equally
conscious that she appeared to him
most lovely and fascinating.

"Pray, Mr. Trevanx, what witness

"Simply Mr. St. Croixand his dog,"
replied the young man, calmly, "rmonw, to recoro everj Pouuu auu

I can extract no Information from
them, I can only plead absence of any
real proof for my client."
There was a general buzz as the

pide of hio master, and looked round
the crowded court with dienifipd in
quisitiveness. But when his eyes fell &" " " "" -""-on

"Mr. St Croix." said Paul, calmly, j
"may I ak if yon have examined

when the brooch was lost I mean,
so as to make it absolutely certain It

"Is is impossible. I have worn

St. Croix, gravely.
"And yonr dog? May I venture
or will you kindly undertake to pass

ed tbe barrister.
There was a general laugh in court;
but Paul was not to be turned from
his purpose.
He came forward, and passed the
large comb he held asain and again
through Nentune's thick coat of hair
without effect. But jast when a cry ,
of dernive contempt was uttered by
Mr. Garnet, there was a sharp, light
sound en tbe floor of tbe court.
The missing brooch had become en-1
tansled in the innermost recesses of!

broad leather collar, and Neptune
stood eonvieted of felony.

Milwaukee Beer.
Mr. Finch writes as follows to the
Beatrice Courisr, and, as it should in
terest beer drinkers everywhere, we
publish it:
May I talk to your readers on beer.
Beer drinking is the curse of America,
England and Germany. It is the
principal cause of drunkenness. Lager-beer
is popular with the ignorant
in most of our cities and towns, and
many of our most cultivated people
have thoughtlessly fallen into the
use of it. Perhaps this accursed bev
erage will not be so popular when
tho33 who now advocate it? use study
its effect and tendency, and its manu
facture and adulteration. Milwaukee
Lager-beer Is a fair sample of beer ev-
ery where. The Milwaukee JYctre, a
leading daily paper of that city, in a
I recent artiole says: "It has lately be-
gun to be a matter of remark among
beer-drinkers that they cannot drink
beer with a3 much impunity as here
tofore. Indulgence of three or four
glasses in the course of an evening or
even a less quantity is likely to be at
tended with violent headache the
next morning." A report was circu
lated that the brewers were adulterat
ing their beer, and in order to investi
gate the truth of thi3 report, "the
I lernai revenue aeparimeut, wuere
terna- revenue
every brewer is required by law each
bushel of material that he buys for
the manufacture of malt liquora, as
well as all malt manufactured, and all
sales of beer, purchase, stamp, etc"
The book containing the information j
was placed at the disposal of "the'
JYcuw man" and he reDorts the result
f of his Investigation as follows: "Tbe

porter sought and obtained an inter-
view with a gentleman whom he
knew to be well posted in the tricks
of the beer trade, because he had been-
for many years employed in a confi

one of tbe largest Milwkee brewers.
The reporter produced the above in
formation and desired an explanation I
of it. Thia authority, m,the coarse of
a long interview, gave tbe following
facts and suggestions. Not all those
brewers whomake no report of tb6
purchase of substitutes are to be cred-'
ited with using none. Several of ,
them buy large quantities of maltfrom
the malaster, Gerlack, who runs a;
rice malt mill for their special accom-
modation. 'The Best Co.,' said this
informant, 'buys a large stock ahead
of rice at the auction sales of broken,
unmerchantable rice, held in New Or
leans twice a year.' The reporters
asked, 'Are these substitutes harmful
in your opinion?' The reply was,

Beer is properly a liquor mde from

corn, rice, or wheat and drags is about
as much beer as batter made from
beef scraping is batter, orsngar made
from old rags is sugar. Expertdrink

The Musicians of Bremen.
A certain man had a donkey which
had served him faithfully for many
years, but whose strength was so far
gone that at last it was quite unfit for
work. So his master was thinking
how much he could make of the skin.
but the Donkey, perceiving that no
good wind wa3 bIowingt ran away
along the road to Bremen. "There,"
thought be, "I can be town musi
cian." When he bad run some wav
he found a Hound lying by tbe road-
side yawning like one who J3 very
tired. "What are you yawning for
now, you lazy fellow ?" asked the Ass.
"Ah," replied the Hound, "because
every day I grow older and weaker.
I cannot go any more to the hunt, and
my master has well nigh beaten me
to death, so that I took to flight, and
nQW j do nQt kmw bQ tQ TQ my
bread.' "Well, do you know," said
theA33,M am going to Bremen to
be town-musician there; sepposeyou
go with me and take a share in the
music. I will play on the late, and
you shall beat the kettle drum." The
dog was satisfied, and offthey set.
Presently they came to a Cat sitting
in the middle of the patS, with a face
like three rainy days. "Now, then,
old shaver, what has crossed you?"
asked the Ass. "How can one be
merry when one's neck has been
pinched like mine?" answered the
Cat. "Because I am growing old
and my teeth are all worn to stumps,
and because I would rather sit by tbe
fire and spin than run after mice, my
mistress wanted to drown me, and so
I ran away. But now, good advice is
dear, and I do not know what to do."
"Go with us to Bremen. You on-
(jer8tan j nocturnal music, so you can
i be a town musician." The Cat con
sented and went with them. The
three vagabonds soon came near a
farm-yard whereupon the barn door
tae CoCt was sitting crowing with all
n3 mjgb.i.
"You crow through mar-
i -
row- and bone." said the As3;
"what
d0y0U do that for?"
"That is the way I prophesy the fine
weather," said tbe Cock; "but because
grand goests are coming for the Sun -
day the housewife has no pity, and
has told the cook maid to make me in
tosoup for tbe morrow, and this even
ing my head will be cat off. Now I
am crowing with a full throat as long
as I can."
"Ah I but you red-comb," replied
tbe Ass, "rather come away with us,
for we are going to Bremen, it? find
! there something better than death.
You have a good voice, and if we
make music together it will have full
play."
The Cook consented to this plan and
so all four travelled on together. They
could not, however, reaeh Bremen in
one day, and at evening tbey came in
to a orest where tbev meant to pass
the night. The Ass and the Dog laid
themselves down under a large tree;!dw at the conference, that ka mem-

OFFICIAL PAPEE-.OF THECOrXTY
Ies3 that some spirits had come and
fled off in the forest. The four com
panions immediately sat down at tha
table and qsterJy ate up all that was
left as if they had been fasting for six
weeks. As poon as the four plsyera
bad finished they extinguished tha
light and each sought for himself a
sleeping place according to his nature
and custom. The Ass laid himself
iown upon some straw, tbe hound be
hind the door, the Catnpon the hearth,
near tie warm ashe and the Cock
flew np upon a beam which ran across
the room. Weary with their long
walk tbey fell asleep. At midnight
tbe robbers perceived from their re
treat that no light was bamlng in
their house and all appeared quiet; so
tbe Captain ssidr "We need not to
have been frightened into fits;" and
calling one of the band he seat him
forward to reconnoiter. The messen
ger, finding all still, went into the
kitchen to strike a light, artd taking
the glistening fiery eyes of the Cat for
hot coals he held a lucifer match to
them expecting it to take fire. Bat
the Cat, not understanding the joke,
flew in his face, spitting and scratch
ing, which dreadfully frightened hlna
so that he made for the back door ;
but the Dog, who lay there, sprang
up and hit his leg; and as he Hmped
upon the straw whereupon lay the
As3 it gave him a powerful kick with
his hind foot. This was not ail, for
' tbe Cock awaking at the noise stretch
ed himself and cried from the beam,
"Cock-a-doodle-doo, cock-a-dccIe-
-"
Then tbe robber ran back as well aa
he could to bis Captain, and said,,rAh
my master, there dwells a horrible
witch in the house who Bpat on me
j and scratched my face with her long
I nails; and there before the doorstands
a man with a knife who chopped at
my leg ; and in the yard there lies a
black monster, who beat me with a
great wooden dob ; and, besH5s all
upon the roof sits a judge, who called
out, 'Bring the knave np, do ; so I
ran away as fast as I coord."
After this tha robbers dared not
again go near the house, bnt every
thing prospered so well with the four
town-musicians of Bremen that tbey
did not forsake their situations. And
there they are to this day, for any
thing! know.
An Undismayed SoldJer.
Toward the close of the fight of
Inkermann, IiOrd Paglan, rejnrning
from taking leave of Geaeral Strang
ways, met a sergeant carrying water
for the wounded. The sergeant drew
himself np to salnte, when a round
shot came bonndfag over tbe hiH.and
knocked bis forage cap out of his
hand. The man pieked it ap. dusted
it on his knee, placed it carefully oa
his bead and" made the salnte. not a
muscle of his countenance moving
the while. "A neat thing that, my
man !" said IiOrd Beglan. "Yes, my
lord, returned the sergeant wKh an
other salute, "but a miss is as good a3
a mile' The commander was proba-
b?y cot surprised br such an exhibi-
j tion of sang-froid, befoc himself good
1 that way. He was bedly hurt at Wa-
terfoo,-and says the Prince of Orange,
who was in the hospKal : "I was not
