Lottle’s A
pril rool Bundle.
BY s. ANNIE FROST. .
It was the first day of April, clear, bright
and windy. The first of April, be it known,
was observed with all due pomp and cere-
mony in Hanover, the seeneof my. story.
That is to say, boys chalked each others’,
jackets, left bogus packages" of goods on
door-steps, mailed absurd letters, and played
all sorts of time-honored tricks upon each
other and, the community around them.
Donhtless there was“fuu" for the perpetra-
tors Of the jests, or they would have been
allowed to die a natural death, but whether
the fun was as entirely appreciated. by the
victims, may be reasonably questioned.
On the first day Of April, 1867, (I like to
be particular about dates) Miss Lottie Wil-
kinson was dcmurely Walking up the main
street Of Hanover with a little parcel in her
hands containing buttons for a new dress.
Dress and buttons were of great importance
to my little heroine, for money was byno
means bountifully supplied in her well-
worn portmonnaie, and a new dress was
rather an event in her daily life. She was
walking quietly along, thinking that if her
dress was chosen of a sober mouse color for
economy’s sake, at least the buttons and
braid were‘as blue as her own eyes. and
would match the blue ribbons of her but
very nicely. Then she wondered if Bert
Gilmore would see her on Sunday in her.
new suit, and if be admired the combination
of mouse color and blue in a walking-dress.
With such absorbing topics for meditation,
it was not wonderml that Lottie had forgot-
ten entirely the day of the month, and
stooped with surprise and thepleasure _of a
discoverer before a bundle lying across the
sidewalk, evidently dropped by some one in
advance of her. She looked up the street
and down, but no One was near enough "to
be questioned. so she stooped and lifted the
package, adding its weight to her own
bundle, and continued her way homeward.
hurrying a little that she might examine her
acquisition.
“Sec, mamma, what I found in the street 1”
It was not a very tempting looking bundle
that She held up ; not a neatly tied dry goods
package, or a White paper covered confec-
tioner’s store of sweets. It was a careless-
wrapped, newspaper covered package,
rather long and narrow, and not very large.
Still,'ihere was rather an exulting ring in
Louie’s tone, asnhe cried: “See, momma,
what I found in the. street.” ,
Her face fell as a shout came from her
brother Tom, a lad of ten. who looked up,
and, before her mother could answer, shout-
cd: “April F001! 0 Lottie, what a goose!
I’ll bet there’s nothing in it but straw, or
rags, or Old newspapers. .Open it, Lottie.
There l” he cried again, as his sister Opened
the parcel, “I told. you. so. Nothing but a
lot Of old papers.” _
Mrs. Wilkinson smiled at Lottie’s disap-
pointed face, as she hastily wrapped the pa-
pers up again, and thrust them on fioWer
Shelf of the sitting room closet, a sort Of gen-
eral receptacle for odds and ends of all
kinds, and—especially for waste paper.
The buttons were displayed next. and, by.-
the time Lottie had put away but and shawl,
and was sealed, putting the last stitches 'iu
the pretty walking suit, Toni had gone off
to a game Of foot ball, and the April Fool
parcel was forgotten.
Mrs. Wilkinson had been a’widow since
Tom had first opened his great saucy blue
eyes upon the World, and Lottie, then but
eight years old, had but little recollection Of'
a father who had spent most of his life
away from home. He had held the situa-.
lion of traveling clerk in a large commer-
cial house in New York city. and during his
life-lime his family had lived handsomely
in that city. Upon his death his widow
found that her means were sufficient to sup-
port her in comfort if used frugally, but
were far too small for the style Of living
warranted by his salary. A country houSe
was at once decided upon. a cottage pur-
chased iu Hanover, and furniture selected
from thefity mansion and sent there. Her
income was sufficient for every comfort, but
there was no margin for luxuries, and many
an article of dress was left unpurchased
that the fund laid aside for Tom’s education
might grow in bulk.
Lotiie’s education was her mother’s Own
charge, and . few boarding school misses
Were more thorougly taught, or could boast
of more general ' accomplishments than the
little home bred maiden. In addition. Miss
Lottie was a most expert housekeeper;
could make great varieties of bread, biscuit,
pies, and cakes; could prepare dainty dine
acre and savory suppers; was proficient in
needlework of all kinds, and quite dress-
maker and milliner enough for all known
demands. - .
- Mr. Herbert Gilmore was quite well aware
of all these varied excellencics Of Miss Lot-'
tie, and was also able to describe most ac.
carately the glossy brown hair, so'fl blue
eyes, creamy complexion, and- graceful lit-
tle figure of the young lady. He knew what
.Were her favorite songs, and could. bring a
clear, powerflil‘tenor to aid her sweet so-
prano. ' He knew that the pretty ornaments
in thepurlor. were the work of Lottie’s little
Whitefbandsgthat the flowers on the ~ stand
Were tended by her, and the light tea biscuits
were of her mixing.
,You guess. they were lovers. Well, so
they were, but, as “the course of true love
never did run smooth,” so there was a great
rock ahead in the channel of their love, and
the rock was named. Marlin Gilmore. Mar-
tin Gilmore was as tough an Old bachelor,
'as rich and hard hearted as ever figured in a
romance, and moreover uncle to the hand-
some young Herbert, _wbo had so long
studied Lottie Wilkinson’s blue eyes and
busy fingers.
Mrs. Wilkinson had been a kind friend to
the yOung man, whose only home was his
uncle‘s gloomy house, and when the love
s
stOry was confidedto 'her, gave a willing
‘whom She believed to be honorable and true,
a sincere Christian, and worthy of her con-
fidence. The question of money never oc-
curred to her, andher amazement was un-
feigned when she found Martin Gilmore en-
tirely Opposed to the match on 'ihe ground
of the bride elect’s want of fortune.
Herbert at once asserted his right to
choose for himself. He was a young lawyer
with a fair practice, without sufficient means
to Warrant matrimony at present, but hope-
ful and industrious, willing to wait for his
home-until he'earned‘it, and by 'no means
wailing 'fosi his unéle Martin’s fortune to fall
to him. In the spring-time Of which I am
writing, Herbertrwas a party'iu a lawsuit,
of which I must soon write more, and there
was some hOpe that a little home, over which
Lottie‘ was to preside, might be nearer than
was at first anticipated. 7;
April was a week Old when. one evening,
Herbert came into Mrs. Wilkinson’s pleasant
‘ parlor, evidently in ii. state of some excite-
ment. Lottie was alone, sewing (Oh, ye ro-
mantic!) a'patch on the elbow of Tom's
jacket. ». -
“Lottie, put doWn that sewinghdo, and
hear my news.” ' p ‘ .
Such sympathizing blue eyes are not al-
ways raised for news.
“I’ve had a windfall.”
“What is it, Bert ?” _
“I never would tell you about this law-
suit beforc Lottie, because I did not con-
sider my chance worth a pin; but it is'
different, now, and I want to tell you about
it.” .
“I am listening, Bert.”
“My father had two brothers and one sis-c
fer, my uncle. Martin, uncle Godfi'ey, and
Elise. Years ago unclc'Godfrey and Uncle
Martin accumulated 'large- fortunes, but
father was too liberal and open~hearted to
save much before he died, aunt Elise mar-
ried a man as poor as himself, but good and
true. Uncle”. Godfi'ey oppOsed this match
bitterly, and when She was left a widow
after six months‘cf married life, he refused
her any assistance. She was then very ill
with what has since developed into spine
disease, and father took her home. In bei-
one wrath, uncle Godfrey made a will leav-
ing his entire fortune to uncle Martin. I
was but a little child when all this happen-
ed, but I heard of it. Some five years ago,
uncle Godfrey sent for me to make him a
visit, and during that viSit we became at-
tached to each Other. NO longer the stern.
angry man who disinheriled my father, he
was softened and penitenl. and spoke most
kindly of poor aunt Elise. Before I left him
he promised me to revoke his unjust will.
giving me my father’s share, and aunt Elise
hers. DO I fire you with my long story i”
“NO, indeed.” ’ , '
“Two years ago uncle Godfrey died.
Uncle Martin, as the Oldest brother, took
out letters of administration, find claimed
the property under the old will. But be-
hold, neither old nor new will could be
found! I was not Of age, and my guardians
and aunt Elise at once claimed the division
according to law. SO commenced the suit,
and to morrow the decision will be given in
court. But a few days ago, Uncle Martin,
in turning over some deeds and mortgage
papers, found the will, leaving him the en--
tire property.”
“Oh, Bert 1”
“Wait, Lottie. Off started Uncle to his
lawyer’s with all the papers bundled up to-
gether, and on the way he lost the whole out
of-his overcoat pocket. He has advertised
in vain, Offering a large reward. Small as
Hanover is, uncle Martifi‘s papers are com-
pletely lost, to all appearance. So to-mor-
row the suit will probably be decided, as
uncle Godfrey would have wished, and Bert
Gilmore will have fifty thousand dollars to
offer Miss Lottie Wilkinson."
“But, Bert, if they are found 1’” t
“Then uncle Martin adds my share and
aunt Elise’s to his own. and we are left as
before.”
“It seems hard 1"
“True, but he has the law. 4 Of course, if
the will is found it would be only cheating
to hold it back; but it seems utterly lost, or
surely such tempting rewards as he adver-
iises would produce it.”
Then eame othentopics. Mrs. Wilkinson
came in, and more was no more said about
the lawsuit until the young man was leav-
ing, when he said to Lottie: ' ‘
“ To-morrow evening you may see the -
heir to a fortune if those papers don’t turn
up.” -
“_thn were they lost, Bert f”
“’(’)ne week ago today. Good-night, Lot-
tie.
One week ago. -Why, that was April

to think in words as. she sped across the en-
try to the sitting room, and tore Open the
closet door. Pulling out the papers in front,
there lay the parcel she _had found in the
street. With cold, trembling fingers she
Opened it again. There they lay, closely
written sheets, folded in legal shape, and
amongst them even her own inexperienced
eyes could detect the will.
.“Oh, dear! oh, dear i" That was all she
said as she wrapped up the parcel and went
to her room with it.
Martin Gilmore was at breakfast, and to
say that he was not in good humor gives
but a mild idea of the energy of his move-
ments and the scowl upon his face. Herbert
had hastily swallowed his coffee and toast.
and was away to his ofiice, but the old gen-
tleman, growling at everything, was still at
the table.
“A lady to see you, sir.”
“A what,” cried the old man, glaring at
his maid servant.
“A lady to see you, sir.”
“What does she want i”
“Wants to see you, sir.” . .
“Showher in. A beggar for some chari-
ty. She won’t get anything here. If there
is anything IdO hate it 'is a strong-minded
committee woman.” . - ‘

specimens of the sex hated by Martin Gil-
more. She was petite, fair and young, wore
a mouse-colored dress trimmed with blue,
and blue ribbons on her but. .
“Want 'to see me i” growled the gentle-
man.
“You lost a package Of papers a 'Week
ago, sir. Here they are.”
Eagerly he clutched them and opened one
afler another. “You Shall have the re-
ward,” hc said. “Yes, yes, they are all
here.”
“I did not bring them for a reward. They
were yours, and it was Only honest to return
them.” _ -
Little Could he goes by the clear, steady
blue eyes, what a wakeful. weeping night
the honesty had cost.
“Why did you keep them a week i"
“I did not know what they were until last
evening." ‘
‘:Can‘t you read l” _
“I did not examine the parcel. I found it
on the street on April Fool’s. Day, and :I
thought it was a trick parcel.” '
“Humph! Nico mes l Tomfoolcry l”
grumbled the Old man. “And pray,”. he
said, “how came you to uscertain last eve—

“I like you! I’m an old man worth half

“I don‘t know," was the frank reply.
“Will you try ? , You will be my niece,

to her unutlerable amusement, he Walked
across the room, and deliberately placed the
will upon a_ bank Of glowing coals in the
Open grate.” . '
Both watched the paper crackle, curl;
blaze, and finally float . _up the chimney in
little black flakes. Then Lottie came to the-
old man’s side. “I have done you injustice,”
she said, simply. “I have no father, ’but if
you will let me I will give you a daughter’s
love." .
“Thank you,my dear," he said, taking her
hand and drawing her to him, “I Will come

like to see a. small waist, certainly; but
there is a great difference between the waist
that is well formed, and in proportion to the '

ously and artificially compressed, to the de- ,
slnlction Of that easy and graceful carriage ,

importuned by his daughter to give to her
brother and herself permission to join a par-
fy of young companions with whom they
were not usually allowed to associate. The
father was obliged to withhold his consent.
“Dear father,” said the daughter, “you
must think us very childish, if yOu suppose
we could not go into this company without
being injured by it.”
The father did not immediately reply, but
taking a.dead coal from the grate, held it up
to his daughter, saying, as he did so.
“It will not hurt you, my child, take it.”
She obeyed him, and her hand was soiled
and blackened, and her white dress also.
“We cannot be to careful in handling
coals,” said the daughter, with a little vex-
afion in her tones. _
“Thai is true,” replied the father, “for you

Professor Gilman delivered on Monday
full of important and new information, and
having for its Object a statement of the pros-
important relation which it bears to the rest
Of the country. . Professor Gilmau divided
What the State grows on ; HOW it has growu ;
How it is growing; and How it is going to
grow ; and‘as illustrative of these points, the
physical characteristics of the State; the de-
velopment of its society; results of the cen-
sus; and general reflections. The attention
of the audience was first called to a diagram
which showed the physical charaéteristics Of
the whole of New England. It was a region
distinct and separate. It might be called
the Southern portion Of a great peninsula,
and had the depression near Albany been
still greater, the whole of_ New England
would have been an island bounded on the
east and south by the ocean, oil the north by
the St. Lawrence, and on the west by "lake
Chum-plain and George and the Hudson‘
river. This portion, then, of our Union is
naturallya distinctive one and made so by
natural features. The State Of Connecticut
presents physical characteristics no less
marked. The Statehas three natural valleys
the Connecticut river valley being the
largest, then the _Housulonic and the Thames
A diagram oftbe State showed that a large
portion of it lies lower than 800 feet above
the sea level. There are ridges which cross
these level parts whose height is greater
than 800feet, but as yet their real height
has not been determined with sufficient ac-
curacy. The valley of the Connecticut
river is the great central feature of the State. ,
In the-east, that of the Thames with its
tributaries, the Yanlic, Shetucket and
Quinnebaug, may be called the water course
which is separated from the central valley
by the range of hills known asdbe Bolton
valley with its branches, the NangStuck
and the Shepaug rivers, these make the three
natural water cOnrscs in the State. ’The
water course from the others, and should a
person cross 'the State from the Hudson
river going east, he would ascend first, then
descend intothe valley of the HousatOnic.
thenascend, then descend with the Connec-
ticut valley, then ascend Once more, and
again descend into the valley of the
Thames. — .
The Central or Connecticut valley once
marked the course ofa great estuary as the
sdndstone deposits clearly show, and it be-
longs to the geological age known as the
Mesozoic; The Connecticut river at some
time forced its way through the estuary bed
near Middletown, and emptied its waters at
its present outlet, whereas the natural coprse
' would have been for the river to have taken
the valley of the Quinn'ipiac, and emptied at
New Haven.
LONG ISLAND.
Long Island may once have been a part Of
'the State physically as it was politically, for
‘its physical structure shows points of great
similarity. As it is, it is a blessing to‘the
prosperity ofthe State, giving a water com-
munication to the ocean on the east, and
the metropolis on the w'esthvhile it presents
a barrier to the ocean on the south.
Such are the physical features in the State,
briefly stated. It presents nothing bold or
extraordinary—nothing specially to interest
the traveler or tourist; it has good iron
mines, expensive copper mines, granite

‘StateWOuld suffcr'severely. Having thus
touched on the physical aspects of the State,
Professor Gilman next spoke Of the
SOCIAL LIFE.
The original settlements were made at
Hartford, Windsor and Wcthersfield, where
the three vines were planted which now are
engraved on the State coat of arms. Our
ancestors erroneously supposing that at the
mouth of the Connecticut river a city must
spring up, marked Off the oulline of a city
which may now be seen at Saybrook Point.
Then and there followed the Shore line
settlements centering ‘ at New Haven and
extending as far west at Stamford and East
to Guilford. In fifty' years after the first
settlement in'Harlford, villages had sprung
Q) as far eastas Woodstock, and westward
as far as Waterbury. There seemed to be a
tendencyto go to the eastern and 'western
water—courses. To this day. the boundary
lines between this State and New York are
not accurately-defined, and this is owing to
the fact that the only surveys are those of
towns, the counties being composed of
certain towns. and the State of these conn-
ties. The-survéys Of the towns are looked
Over every three years by law, butiudefinile-
ly and unsatisfaclOI-ily. On the south the
question as to the jurisdiclion of Connecticut
over certain islands off her coast has been
seriously discussed and as yet unsettled.‘ It
is important as affecting-certain bone burn-
ing and fish Oil establishments established
uln'these islands, which have become quite a
business. _ . ' .
The area of the State is not yet fully
known. The best authorities differ .in their
estimates by hundreds of square miles.
‘ POPULATION. . .
The population of the State, which is
about 550,000, is not evenly distributed.
Looking at 'it by counties, we find that
Tolland county has the smallest population,
and then follow in the order of their pOpula-
tion, Litchfleld, Windham, Middlesex, New
London, Hartford, Fairfield and New Haven.
Fair-field thus stands ahead of Hartford
county, and New Haven county ahead Of all.
For the first time in thehistory of the State
we have a city of over 50,000 inhabitants—-
.New Haven. There are eight towns above
10,0007—Meriden, Middletown, Norwalk,
Waterbury, Norwich, Bridgeport, Hartford
and New Hayen. .
If weifollow the line of the New York and
New Haven railroad, beginning. at New
York, we shall find that every town has
increased in population to New Haven.
Following the line of the Naugatuck railroad
the some increase is seen. Danbury and
Bethe], on the borders of Lilcllfield and
Eairfield counties, also show an increase.
Towns east ofHartford, as Manchester and
Vernon, and all around N orwich—these all
Show all increase since the last census, and
most of them a great‘one. New London is
the only place. of any Size in” the State which
does not show any increase,.nudrth_is is, due

the State may be classed in groups. There
are the old town‘s With the town streets,
such as Lyme, Wethersfield, Litchfleld,
Woodstock—everything 'is quiet. There
’are places where they remember (the past,
and some of them are lonesome and forlorn
in the summer months. Then there are the
suburban towns, the spilling-over, so to
speak, of great cilies,.as the town of Preston
. near Norwich, those near New Haven and
Hartford, and notably those near New York
like Stamford and Greenwich. These may
be called the dormitory towns, where a
large number Of- clerks and merchants who
do business in New York city, live.
Then there are the cotton factory towns to
be found in the eastern part of the State.
They remind one of the feudal towns where
there was one large baronial castle and a
lar'genumberOf home of peasants. These
arelowns 'which the owners Of the mills do
nothinglo improve, and they are forlorn,
enough. Those who live them feel this, but
they belong to a classwhich cannot get
away all they depend upon the mill for their
living. This is largely due to Rhode Island
influence—a notable example being the
town of Sprague, named from the Rhode
Island capitalist and Senator. Another
class'of towns can be called by no better
name than the beehive. Such places are
Mcriden, New Britain, Waterbury and
Birmingham. These are the happiesi_
They possess all of the comforts and many
oftlle conveniences of large cities.' Their
interests are many and varied, and their
people intelligent and happy.
The immense Variety of these interests in
the Slate affords afruiiful theme for contem?
platiou. There is no portion of the Union
where this multiplicity is so great. Our
savings banks are a great indication of our
prosperity, and few parts of the globe -can
There are fifty-one million of dollars in our
savings banks, mostly accumulated in small
sums by mechanics and artisans.
AGRICULTURE.
The agricultural interests oflhe State are
diminishing in relative importance, as may
be Shown by the prosperity of Tolland
county more exclusively agricultural than
any other county. Only three towns in the -
county show an increase in proportion.
Lilchfield county may be. 'called the grass
county, hay, beef, butter and cheese being
their staples, while a river of milk pours
into New York every night from that coun-
iy.- In Hartford county tobacco is the
Windham, com; Fairfield
and New Haven, market gardenlvegetables;
and in New London county beans are the
staple.
scnOOLs AND CHURCHES.
If we make as a basis the number of dol-
lars per head expended for schools, New
Haven county stands at the head, but if we
take the number of. children attending
schools New Haven county comes last, and
Tolland county stands at the head. In
graded schools New Haven county leads.
followed closely by Hartford and New Lon-
don, and the other counties are aboutequal.
These towns with graded schools are just»
the busy thriving places called once the bee-
hivc~towns. Schools should be established
without respect to counties, but with regard
to facilities for reachinthhat is” a Nouga-
iuck Valley echool, a ThameS‘Yallgyschool,
etc. ~ ‘
Thechurcbcs are distributed almost uni-
formly throughout the State. The Baptist
church, however, predominates in the east-
ern part, due to the proximity of Rhode
Island, and the Episcopal church in the
southwestern part of the State. The other
churches are about eqhally‘ established, and
furnish one sitting to every two persons in
the Slate. -
. .CRIMINAIJTY.
The Tollaud county jail is without an in-
mate. Litcllfleld county stands but to Tol-
land in its freedom from criminals, and in
their order, Windham, New London, Mide
diesex, Hartford,Fairfield, and New Haven.
In the matter of
DIVORCES,
if the number should be reduced to square
miles, the record would be unfavorable to a
certain locality.
. . _ RAILROADS.
' The grand trunk railroad is the New York
and Nepraven. This has four tributaries
which do not touch. New Haven, viz: the
smpll one at Stamford, the Danbury and
Nor-walk, the Housatonic, and the Naugai
tuck. . All of the rest of State railroads and
almost all Of the New England roads must

New Haven, making thiscity a yer-y cen-
tral depot of communication. The first road
built in the'State was the Stoningtou and
Providence, the second the Hartford and
New Haven, then the Norwich and War--
cesier. It was sometime before a railroad
crossed the State as the New York and New
Haven and ShOreLine now do. This is the
‘only one, though the Hartford and Provi-
dence road, propose at some time to extend
to the ‘Hudson river. Litcbfield county
should have been made tributary to New
Haven, but Springfield proposes to tap the
Connecticut Western road.
CONCLUSIONS. - .
The extreme manifestation Of local au-
thority is a remarkable feature in our State.
The various towns are in their own matters
perfectly independent of-any power. Among
other conclusions to be drawn from the cen-
sus reports,are the decline of agriculture
and increase of manufactures in the State,.
and the decline of commerce and increase ‘
of railroad interests. The key to the pro-
sperity of the State lies in its brains. The
industry Of the State is Of no rude kind,
but is skilled and thoughtful labor. The
coming epoch is one of large towns and
manufacturing villages, with all their bene-
fits and evils. The question is how best to
preserve the good and remove the evil.
This must be done by good municipal laws,
such as those relating to streets, sewers and
water, horse railroads and frequent trains
On Steam roads, evening scho‘ols, libraries
for large regions, public parks, where out-
door life and recreation may be enjoyed.
The speaker in closing alluded to the Shef-
ficld Scientific School, and said that it
would make its influence felt for the good
and prosperity of the State. Such is a
summary of Prof. Gilman’s remarks. The
lecture was illustrated by maps and dia-
grams, maln'ng it especially difficult to re-
port clearly, but it was a lecture of rare in-
.iere'st and much value.
