such in fact was their origin, although the
correspondent of the GAZETTE from “Pemi-

are now able to state that one of the Reading

tiously, at work for some two years.

January did not go without giving us one
snow storm, the like of which we have not'

it was not serviceable for sleighing.
February was ushered in with beautiful

before the storm. About 320 tons were ta-

a manner that the young lady who caused
the situation to be brought about, has the
outlines of a certain‘young man’scounte-
nance indelibly, but perhaps not favorably
impressed on her memory,_and the‘ young
man willbelikely to sing infancy as well
as, in reality. “Teach, O. teach me to for-
get." The story, as .told by one of the
knowing ones, is nearly as follows. A'young
gentleman from Greenfield Hill, being de-
sirious of obtaining a wife, turned his steps
towards Westport which boasts a goodly
list of available candidates. Possessed of
plenty of this world’s goods, the young man
was vain enough to fancy that all he had to
do was to make a bid, and the girl of his se-
lection would jbyfully fly right into the cage
and rest on the perch he had in waiting for.
her. In some way the Westport girl’s
learned of his weakness, and they résolved
to teach him a lesson. The opportunity oc-
curred during a recent pleasant night when
the Greenfield Hill adorer hitched his horse
in front of a well known village residence.
On entering lie was received by the young
lady who'sbowed him into the parlor and in-
vited him to spend theevening. Somehow
during that day the lady scented mischief
brewing in the air, and she had prevailed on
afew lady friends to visit her house and
take part in what might transpire. Each of
these were introduced to the visitor, who
soon began to feel that he had got into a nest
of pretty birds from among whom he could
select just such a Warbler as would grace
the cage and perch alluded to. As might be
expected-the conversation set towards love,
or subjects aiken to it. The ladies were told
of the horrors of living singly.—of the desir-
ability of the. conjugal relation,—tbat they
should’nt neglect first class chances to better
their worldly condition, hinting at the same
time how admirably be was fixed. The la-
dies'smiled as be poured his tender passion,
shedding tears in their efforts to smother the
laughter which his words provoked. To
their ears what he said fell as do mashed
turnips to the taste, inspdily and without
force of meaning. They replied to all he had
to say, and buzzed him like a swarm of busy
bees. He was bewildered with the ir, flattery,
and amidst it {all _he dropped asleep on the
sofa. Taking advantage of the circumstance
the ladies held a sort of Wake over the slum-
bering lover, playing franks and cracking
jokes at his expense. At eleven they retired
for the night leaving him in the parlor
without lampligb t, and an expiring coal fire,
to sleep hissleep out. At four o’clock next
morning he awoke to a realization of his
predicament, and of the need of his immedi-
ately getting out of that house. For a time
he could not tell'wbetber he was in a dwell-
ing or some deserted saw-mill. Groping
about the room for an exit be found every
door securely locked, and as he inwardly
cursed the hour he came to woo, be thought
he heard the giggle of females above the
This cut him to the quick, for it
pointed the game of which he was the victim.
At last he shoved the bolt of the hall door,
grabbed his overcoat and hat and stalked
into the street. There stood his poor horse
shivering with cold and patiently waiting
his coming, and as he was about to drive
away, the sash .of an upper window was
raised and a musical voice exclaimed “How
did you like your nap,” not deigning to re-
ply or wait to hear more, he gave his horse
a smart cut with his whip, and made {nasty
tracks for Greenfield, and has not showed

“Now, your Honor, I wish to say, that all
that I have done in this case has been’under
the influence of a pure motive. If they
prove that my means are wrong, they cannot
prove that my motive was wrong. But I
must be permitted to call attention to the
most astonishing thing I have ever seen. Who
are the guardians of the church and the pul-
pit of this town? Who stand up today for
moralit ? Well, Mr. Barbour of Norwalk,
Fesseu en of Stamford, and the cohort of
rum-sellers behind them, hold up their hands
in horror at me, because they say that I have
connived at deception. Your Honor, they
are right as to. the fact—they are wrong as
to the crime. Deception! Why, the name
of John Riordon_ is in this complaint.
John Riordon, your Honor, built a fancy
piece of work in that 'brick- building of his
and tried to sell ruin behind it for a little
while' and it did not work, and then he em-
ployed mechanics to build up a covered door-
way, in the rear, by which his poor, deluded
victims—the relatives .of some of whom
came to me with tears in their eyes and be-
sought me to bring him to grief—could enter
and drink in peace. When‘I said to those
relatives “Will your husband andbrothcr
swear?” they said, “Oh, don’t bring such
discord‘ into ourfamily! It, will break up
the family.” And‘I said to them, “we will
catch him in some other way.” Then John
Riordan, after building his tunnel and selling
$3290 worth of liquor. by the glass, in one
nig t.
in
I say John Riordon, after that comes in
here and charges me, with, deception. I
stand here to say that I justify the employ-
ment of deception squarely and fairly :—‘-lst.
To detect horse thieves; 2d. I bel eve in
deception, to detect counterfeiting; 8d. I be-
lieve in detectives to detect the proprietors
of houses of ill fame; 4th. I believe in de-
tectives of this kind and deception with it, to
detect gambling saloons and lastly, I believe
in deception of this kind—to detect a busi-
ness these men themselves had hidden away
in dark places. They dig their holes and
go in there and have their signs, grips and
tokens. They will not let a manih if he is
not properly vouched for and I would justify
anywhere and under all circumstances his
getting vouched for. As to the people that
wanted this list brought into court, they are
hypocrites.“ They don’t want it. A man
stopped me in the street the other day and
said be. “Why don't you bring. in cases of
Stamford peeplc ?" “Very well,” says I. “I
know that your wife bought a pint of brandy
on a certain day and you paid the money.”
I gave him the name of the place. “Now,”
says I, “I will bring you into court.” Says
be, “for God’s sake don't do it, my wife is a
sick woman and if she is dragged into court
it will be the dcathof her,” And yet that
man stopped me on the street and wanted to
know why I hired detectives. I did so, your
Honor, in the interest of the town of Stam-
ford. I did not wish toga before a justice
and swear that a certain woman bought wine
for a dinner, and a certain grocer sold wine
upon prescriptions for private entertainments,
but_I have to say that this thing of bounding
me will have to stop pretty soon or I will
show some one, something, which they don't
think possible, _I fancy.” ,

I read your amusing letter with somelaugli-
ter and much pity, my friend; not for those
girls, bless them, but for you. In the first
place the cause of your failure in rcgardto
the “Reading Circle”-was owing, largely, to
yourself for—like most men—you went the
wrong way to work. 'I would not ask bet-
ter material for a literary .societythan those
same bright, merry girls you appear to hold
so lightly. Before I proceed I would really
like to wonder what history it could have
been you used with such poor success, and
wherein love scenes and Weddings were de-
scribed, andj mention made of the .fine arms
of princesses. , Sounds very much like one
of' Louisa Mulbach’s’sensational, historical
novels, I declare, and no wonder the girls
were disgusted and that you“ have so many

was almost as bad, and I should have cried

might prepare beforehand. Questions should

to find the places along the route, another
with an- encyclopedia, etc. Then, if you
.want to read history don’t begin at the-be-
ginning of the book, that would be enough to
discourage anybody, but take it by install-
ments. Now, to illustrate, I am going to
tell you about my small literary society, com-
posed of two girls just as fond "of dancing
dud fun as your girls were and with no air;
natural leaning towards study either. One
evening we have a dictation. exercise of a
short selection frbm seine good book or mag-
azine,‘ we dive into dictionaries, histories,
biographies, etc. Again we read up the
reign of Henry VIII for instance, and touch
upOn the livesof the celebrated men of his
day, ending with selectionsfrom Shakspeare’s
play, written of thecdoingsjpf that precious
monarch. I never observe the sliglitcst lack
of interest in those two girls. I even spent a
day ingreadiug King Lear t9 tbcm'and they
were as énthusimtic over itas one could wish
I have 'seena person, with a knack’of telling
stories from history well, teach a flock of
Daisy children in an how -more than they
could learn at Schoolin a week. .
I sympathize with the girls you speak of
because I am fond of dancing. myself and
pretty dresses, and hate dullness just asmuch
as they do. It was not long ago that I‘ was a-
school-g'lrl, but in spite_,of your discouraging.
words, Iexpect (as what girl does not now
days) to know a world of wise things by the
time I am forty. There was a literary socie-
ty maintained in this town with lively inter-
est all of one winter. That it was given up
est failed. Fl'i'volity is not agreeable, neither
is pcdantry. I think pride of learning is
just as insuficra’ble as pride of money and
almost as vulgar. No, I‘wont tell you that it
would have been the same with a class of
young men; I never knew -of a party 'of
young men in a country place organizing a
literary society among themselves.
Now, I don’t want to be spiteful, oh, inost
gentle Thwaek,becausc then you will call
me an old maid, but I want to say to you
confidentially that when a youth talks as you
leaves school and exhibiting the “same menta1_
status at forty” that she does at eighteen—in
these days, too, when so many thoughtful,
earnest women are doing noble work in the
way of culture and improvement—it always
looks as if his own'lady friends were not of a.
very high order of intellect or education, ’
and one smiles at him in pity. It must have
been the misfortune, of both you, and the
“celebrated writer” you quote, to have been;
thrown with women of very ordinary minds
and aspirations.
should regret, for the man who has never felt
with a noble, high-minded, highly-educated
woman,is indeed poverty-stricken. I know
personal acquaintances who are brilliant ex-
amples of educated ,womanh’ood, who have
had the care and trouble of families to hinder
their advancement too.
Now, you know '
average youth is no better off in point of
mind and education than the average girl.
And women of forty are not insipid from
choice, many of them; it is the ceaseless
drudgery of mending, cooking and other fam;
ily cares, that prevent them from keeping
pace with their‘ husbands. For how many
years back'bave women been educated to be-
lievcthat their sole aim is to become good
wives and housekeepers, good servants—not
onlytoo ready to revile “blue-stockings” and
strong-minded women. _ You are a little be;
hind the age, my friend, these times are full
'sicians, scholars, and the coming. 'ageaprom-‘
ises still more glorious things forthcln. Some
of the finest writers, painters, and musicians
of the day, are women, and the" greatestand
noblest men are holding out encouraging,
cheering, helping hands to them, with rcl‘ldy
words of reverence and admiration. U Go their

Dear Bin-.1 feel it my duty to say a word in
praise of VEGETINE. My wife has been troubled
with a bad humor 10): several years, which she
inherited from her parents. We have tried scvci-
al physicians and a great many diflcrent kinds of
medicine with but little benefit. She was so
emaciated that we had almost despalrcd of her
ever being anybctter. Hearing of the; VEGn'riNE
we resolved to try once more,an<l she commenced
using it last March, and has been improving in
health ever since. From 104 pounds she has ad-
vanced to 135 pounds, having gained 31 pounds in
seven montlis,;anil is now able to be about her
work. In short, she believesth Vnonriivn has
been the means of saving her life, and that she
cannot say too much in its praise. If it pleases
you to make use of this slatemcntyou are at lib-'
crty to do so. She has taken fifteen-bottles and is
still using it, and I’_‘caii safely recommend it as a.
great blood purifier. Yours respectfully,

was very weak, and I don’t think there is any one"
physicians all said itwas no use for me to take
medicine, I could not live through the month of
May. I trulythink the VEGETINE has saved my
life, and my, neighbors say that the VEGETINE has

a hard. dry cough for about forty y cars, and dur-
ill" tllistinic I tried many skillful physicians. but
did not liiid any relief or benefit “11le I applied to
illr. Fiskc- Ills medicines worked like magic, for
my cough disappeared entirely in a very few
weeks. and has not troubled me since, and my gen-
eral health is greatly improved. I cannot speak
in terms of too great praise of the virtues of his
medicines. I am desirous that everybody should
know what they have done for me, and will be
glad to direct any one to the remedies that will
cure that fell destroycroi the human race—con-
