"PAPA GOESTHBRE."
"Main't I go with you, papa??Please i
nay I may, won't you?
The words were uttered in a plaintive
and sadly entreating tone, the hands of!
the speaker cla&pitig the knees of the listener
It was a boy of seven years who lisped ,
theua; a beautiful boy, with fair, high
brow, around which there clustered a glorious
wreath of auburn curls; with dark, .
flashing eyes; cheeks rosy with health; lip* '
like the cherries of summer, and a voice
like the birds that tasto theiu.?There j
were. Imp* in ?li<w? ?"? -* 4,-:~
? ... ?..n/wv vjuv luin nine,
though, and the dimpled uiouth was quivering.
It was a man ofsonao five and thirty ;
who listened to this pirn; a man who had
beon of noble looks and princely bearing,'
Ay. had been ! for the blighting truth j
written over form and faoe. Hia looks
were matted, hia forehead soowling, Ins
eyes?red, but not with team, there were :
furrows on hia cheeks, too; and a btutish J
look to the expression of his lips. Twice
did the little boy address him ere ho awwwcreu.
Then pushing the child rudely
from him, he said, in a stern voice, No, no
?It's no place for you "
Again those fair small hands encircled
the knees,
You go, papa. Why can't I too? Do
let me go,'*
For a moment the heart of the inebri-1
ate aceuied to wake from its aUep. He 1
shuddored as he thought of the character
of the place his pure aoulad boy would en- j
ter. He took the child tendoriy in his '
arms, and kissed him as of old; then putting
him down, he Mid kindlj: ?
'You must not ask me again to take
you there. It is no place for little boys,"
and selling his hst hurried from the room
murmuring to himself, as he paced tho way
to the brilliant bar room, ''and no place
for men either. Would to god I had never
gone."
For a long time Wiliie stood where hie
father had left him; turning to the few oin<
S* bera that faintly glowed upon the hearth,
t & he sat down in hia littkebair, and resting j
" hia head upon hia mother's lap, Mid carneatly:
' Mamma, why isn't that pretly atom n
good plaoe for little boya!?Pa pi lore* to
go there."
It vu * trying queation for the poor,
heartbroken woman. She had co far kept
from her eon the knowledge ot hie father'*
eld. She ooutd not bear that he ahoold
look with shame upon him or tbatbia pare
end gentle heart abould thus ooromune
with bo iateeae e grief. Kindly she toy 4
with his long ringlet# for awhile, then
Mid endearingly, "Papa knows better than
jott what ia bee' for his little boy. When
yon grow older joe will learn why he does
not wish to teke joe."
Then rising, abc carefully pet down
her bnbe npen bis little bed, and tied on
her hood aed cloak.
"Mind the eradle. now. Willie: I'll come

his father always wont at ev*n?n?; and j<
his brain was busy with eager wondering*. 11
H? know his father loved to go, and knew i
thero tunst be something there he liked, '
for he never cauie homo again till long ef- |
ter Willie was asleep. What lay behind '
these scarlet curtain* was a mystery he | i
sought in vain to unravel. ! 1
At length he whispered eagerly, as if to 1
encourage a longer wish "P*r>? i"?'f 1 1
tell toe if I wanted to know anything very (
bad, to persevere, and I would find it out.
Now 1 do want lo know what makes him I
love to 30 there so. I know that tbero t
must ho prutty thiols behind those win- t
dows. 1 shouldn't wonder"?and his I
cheeks were glowing?"if it was like a t
fairy house. Why can't I go?"
Poor WiNie ! The temptation to know ; ]
was too strong be resisted ; co he hunted
through the cIokcI for a candle, for he
was a thoughtful little fellow, and would
not leavo his little sister to the only dan t
gor that could menace her. He found a J L
bit o''a tallow dip, and lighted it, drew the e
stand close to tier, that the frame might e
scare away the rats and mice, should they
sally out ere his return. c
"I won't stay long, pretty dear," said 0
hp, pressing a tender kiss on hor sleeping c
lids, and drawing tho blanket oloec over s
her fair nrma.?4*No I'll eornn back soon, f
but I do so want to take one peep " , I
Hwtflly his little feet bore him over j n
the pavement, and in a trice ho stood be- < u
side the curtain door. 1 n
"IIow light it is, and how they laugh I
and talk It must all be very funny ,
there." p
A cold November blasi .swept around the i,
corner as he spoke, penetrating his worn,
summer clothes, causing his flesh to quiver | y
and his tenth to chatter. e
?I don't bolievo they'd hurt mc if I 5
should go in 1 while; 1 om such a little n
boy, and I. am so cold out We," he said |j
as he pushed tho door caiefully from him, c
flipping in and olosing it without a breach t|
of ooise.?For a moment ha w?* hrtwi(rl<?r
ed with the light and ciat'.er, ?..<i huifw:sh- : y
ed hi were away. Hut the warm air was J
grateful to Ilia chilled limbs, and finding ? &
that no cue scciUo.l to notice hiui, he stole j ft
tuw.'rdt the glowing grate, and spread ont 1
liia purple palms before the bla*e. The j n
grwiip uf men that enr.ircled the bar were j ),
drinking when h? entered. Soon, bower- 'm
er. they set down their glasses, and diaap- b
pea red about the room. ti
"Halloo," said one, in aloud tone, as t|
going to the firo he apied little Willie.
What are j?u doing bere, my little fellow)' ?
Who are you? and what do yon want?" n
"I don't want anything, only to see c
what you do here. My name is Willie M- j },
My paps loves to coiut-ahcre, and it looked ' d
so pleasant through the window, I thought t
I'd like to.?But I must not stay long, for
I've left the baby alone." fc
The man's tones wore softened us he n
spoke again to him. I
"And where's your mother, boy?" n
"O, she's gone to take home the wash, v
sir, Papa don't bare as much work as he n
used to once, and we're very poor now,and j
she has to help hint."
"And does it look as pleasant in here as p
you thought it would, my child?" e
"Q, yes, it does, air. 1 don't wonde * %

and ho earnestly seised the rough bends of
the fistenor' "pleaao, sir teil'aie why little f
boys can't come here with their fathers?"
"For God's sake do not tell hita, Ben- e
croft!" said a deep anguished voice. "lie t

id unanimously that Mra. K. ahould be *

A^er the meeting adjourned, tbc guar- ' '
lian, who knew the inquisitive character

Morning came, and with it Madame K., Pc
rith her broom, brushes, pails, tubs, Ao., :
repared and armed fur the job, and found i
ho guardian waiting for her.
4 wow, nindame,' said ha, 4I'll tell you

No sooner had she heard the sound of

SOUTHERN "LITERATURE.
We havo often been struck with the
tiridial policy of the South. Having at
pr command men of genius and talent,
?u sis oiiu miiiu^ hi norvo 1110 invest
iT the community in which they ?ivc,
ic set 1115 content, to drivel away her in- 1
llectuai cxutooco over the ranoourous I
txiuctions of northern thought. Having '
her d?spos.il an abundnnco of wealth
ith which to build up and sustain an in pendant
literary press, she accrus blind
her uwti interest, and suffers every enter- j
iae to wither and die for the want of
icuniary means to sustain itself, when a t
w paltry dollars from each reader would !
ake a press, from which would issue lea- !
us worthy tho study of our children.
In the nineteenth ceotury people will j
ad, and if they dont get Southern literuro,
they will have what, is worse?the j
luaire slang to be met with in Northern
iriodicats.
If the fact did not meet our view every
ij, v-fi woniu De tnJiapceeU to behove,
at a paper devoted to the defence of j
tuthero rights, indtntificd with us and
ir institutions, and filled with purity and 1
wrality, could appeal in vain fur Southern 1
pport.
Wo giro oor money freely lor brother I

ir scions and aar institutions, if we e.r* i
zht let us aay so, and say so through the 1
gniffed channels of learning and elolenoo.
