Cold bleak winter, long and drcar
How fiercely bIOWs your chilly blasts ;
Hearts with grief are heavy ladcd, _
Beauty from the earth has paged!-

N ) shade or green is left to cheer uv,
‘ Busy life has gone away, '
And our hearts are weary, waiting
For one vivifying ray.

Oh! ho'w'chauged‘the scenes of nature,
Time has marked them with his hard; -.
Where of late the birds were sirging
In a happy, joyous band.

Now‘the woodland seems deserted,
Naught of beauty holds the sway,

Niturc’s fl n lest, dearest treasures,
Swept from tlunce‘with swift (kcay.

Wacrc thc'willo'y spreads its branch :3
By the clear and rippling :tream,

And the moss rose shed its fragrancr,
Naught a sprouting bud is seen.

But the bleak winds deeply sighing '
Sweeps along the ice.bound brook,
And the last of verdure dying,
In some quiet, secluded nook.

Thus through lifethe scenes are changing,
As we travel on our way;

Golden beams around us shining,
Then a faint and glimmering ray.

Time at last will-make no'ch‘anges,
When we reachthe land of song;
In the merry spring-time, ever ' ‘
Mingling with the blissful throng.

Obituary.

The following were the remarks jnade by
Rev. J amcs Kilbourn at the funeral of Mrs.
Charlotte Lockwood last Saturday morning :

On the twelfth day of October, in the year
of our Lord 1791, in Norwalk, Connecticut,
in a family of the name of Fairweather, a
child was born whom they called Charlotte.

Being left an orphan by the death of her;
parents in early childhood, she was adopted"
into the family of Dr.‘ Jonathan Knight, of;
Norwalk. Henceforth, as a maiden she was“
knownas Charlotte Knight. In process of
time, by marriage with “Asa Lockwood, she
took the name of this mother-in Israel whOse'fi
mortal part here sleeps that “ blessed sleep:
from which none ever wake to weep"—-an’
everlasting name, we doubt‘notfin the Lamb’s
book of life.

By adoption intotlie family of Dr. Knight, ‘~
she became the foster-sister of Dr Jonathan
Knight, J r., of Yale College, one of the fore-
most medical professors and practitioners of
his generation. She was a niece of Richard:
Fairweather, of New Canaan, Connecticut,
the father-in-law of President J. M. Sturtc-
vant of Illinois College (at Jacksonville, 11].)?
Her life of eighty-seven years and four months
stretches more than one third the distance;
backward from this hour to the landing from ..
the May Flower. She may ave conversed;

 

in childhood with some perso who had seen :1

a passenger of that histbric ship. Between '
the cradle of that infant by Long Island
Sound, and the casket of this great-grand-
mother, how .much of humane history and di-
vine providence ha's been unfolded. In her
day, well nigh three generations of men'have
lived and died. When she was born. George
Washington was in the third year of'his ad- .
ministration. Louis XVI. and Marie . Antoi-

equally simple appliance he shows the

a way as to produce a magnetic metor, thus
opening up a bewildering prospect of the
possibilities‘before us in revolutionizing the

. present methods of motive poWer through

the substitution of a wonderfully cheap and
safe agent. By this achievement Mr. Wesley
W. Gary has quite upset the theories of
magnetic philosophy hitherto prevailing, and
lifted magnetism out from among the static
forces where science has placed it, to the
position of: adynhmic power. The Gary
Magnetic Motor, the result 'of Mr. Gary's
long yearsof study is. in a word, a simple
cOntrivance which furnishes its own power,
and will run until worn out by the force of
friction, coming dangerously near to that
awful bugbear, perpetual motion.

At Huntingdon, Pennsylvania, Mr. Gary
made his first practical demonstration, and
allowed his discove'ry to be examinedand the
fact publishfi. He had‘ long been satisfied,
from his experiments, that if he could devise
a “cutoff,” the means of neutralizing the-
attractive power of a stationary magnet on
another raised above it and adjusted on a
pivot, unlike poles opposite, and so arrange.

was "only. about four years ago that he made
the discovery, the key to his problem, which
is the basis of his present motor, and upsets
our philosophy. In experimenting one day
with a piece of soft iron upon a magnet he
made the discovery of the neutral line and.
the change of polarity. At first he gave
little attention to the discovery of the change.
of polarity, not then recognizing its signifi-
cance, being absorbed entirely by the discov-
ery of the neutral line opened up to him.
Here was the point for his cut-off. Fora
while he experimented entirely with butter-
ies, but in September, 1874, he succeeded in
obtaining a m0vement independent of the
battery. In‘ June, the following year, Mr.
Gary cxhibitedhis continuous movementto a
number of gentlemen, protecting himself by
covering the cut-off with copper, so as to

any one from robbing him Of'his discovery.
The publication in the local newspaper of
the performance of the little machine, which
was copied ”far and wide, excited much
interest. But the inventor was by no means
satisfied. He had succeeded in securing a
continuous motion, but not a pratical métor.
‘He had invented a unique plaything, but not
a machine that would do a man’s work. So
he made further experiments in one direction
and another, using for ,a long time the
battery ; and it was not until some time after
he moved to Boston (which was about two

points in the change of polarity, with which
he was so little impressed when he first hit
upon them along with his discovery of the
neutral line, were the .true ones to werk
upon. Thereafter his progress was most
rapid,and in a little while he had constructed
working models, not only to his own satisfac-
tion,.but to that of those experts who had
the‘fairness to' give them a ' 'tical and

She -Wanted to Whisper a. Word
OITCaution. -

There isn’t a day in the year but what one
can see just such a parting as yesterday morn.
ing took place at the Union depot: Man and
wife had come down to the train vvhich’was
to bcar‘hcr to her mother's. The husband
had fully persuaded her that her health was
failing, and that she ought to go home on a
six weeks’ visit. She thought she felt even
better than usual, but husbands know better
about these things, of course. This wife
seemed'to have made her preparations quick—
ly, and had not yet said what was on her
mind to say. It lacked thirty-five minutes of
train time, and as they sat down in the wait-
ing room she. said: “Now, Henry, the last
time Iwent away—” “Just wait; I want
to see if that’s our train,” interrupted the
husband, as he rose up: Going out, he was,
absent seven minutes. When he returned,
she was ready to say: “I only wanted to;
say to you that the neighbors—” "Did'I-
give you the check for your trunk?” he.
suddenly inquired. She found it in her
pocket, restored it and began again: “Of
course I have cenfidenee in you, but—”
“You remember that you mus not change
meat the junction,” he said, heinoked
at his watch. “When you reach there you
will hear men yelling fchange cars' for this
and that place, but .- youE»',sit'-;.; right still.”
“Haven’t I been over the road fourdifferent
times, and don’t, I, knovualli' the" stations?
Now, Henry,although there ill be no; one-in
the house but”y0u,'v~1, ;have_.'—.”, “1)id you

soon as she had ' ' edghimfmf its safety,
she said: “You no I; come from the office
every evening at six; and, ‘of= coursc,;31_ shall
expect—” “That’s our'trlil'n‘!”'he'exclaimed,
as he leaped up and grabbed for the satchel.
f‘Dear me, but I wanted to say to you—" she
replied, as she followed him out. He rushed
down to the train and. put-her aboard the
coach as fast as possible, but while arranging
the seat she said; "Now, Henry, I am going
away for six weeks, butI...want to say that
—” “There goes the bell—I’ll be left—let
me kiss you—good by, dear!” and he was
out of sight in an instant. A man across the
aisle,who seemed to know how matters stood,
looked at his watch and then called out : “It
lacks just twenty minutes of train time!”
The wife rose up and walked to the door,but
Henry was clear of the depot, and all she
could do was to give one ,of the bandboxes
a kick and muttered: “I‘ll pay him for this
—I’ll return unexpectedly!"

A corset maker out of work thus vented
her complaint: “Shame that I should be

“Don’t tell me that times are getting 'bet-.
ter," growled an old lady in the post ofllcc
yesterday. “Here they are asking just as
much for stamps to send a letter to my son
in Virginia as they did during the war.”
The clerk explained that the price was not
raised when everything also went up, which

Discovered that a straight piece of iron
;placed across the poles of a magnet, and near
éto their end, changes its polarity while in the
magnetic field and before it comes in contact
with the magnet, the fact being, however,
that actual Contact is guarded against. The
conditions are that the thickness Of the iron
must be proportioned to the power of the
magnet, and that the neutral line, or line of
change in the polarity of the iron, is nearer
or more distant from the magnet according
to the power of the latter and the thickness
Of the former. My whole discovery is based
upon this change of polarity in the iron. with
Or without a battery.” Power can be in-
creased to any extent, or diminished, by the
addition or withdrawal of magnets.
'V Mr. Gary is forty-one years old, having
been born in 1837. During the years devoted
tp working out this problem he has sustained
himself by the sale of a few useful inven-
tions made from time to‘time when he was
forced to turn aside from his experiments to
raise funds. From the sale of one of these
inventions—a simple little thing—he realized
something like ten thousand dollars—E. M.

ENGLISH AND AMERICAN LOCOMOTIVES.—

.The Englishman seems never to be able to

escape the influence of his surroundings.
Though he occupies a part of every conti-
nfent, his methods are seldom continental.
This is aptly illustrated in his railroad
building. His island is small and densely
populated, his roads short, and the traflic
heavy. Naturally the roads are of the best.
Every vally is spanned by viaducls'or bridg-
es, every hill pierced with deep cuts or
costly tunnels. The early railroad men had
an impression that a railroad must be as
nearly straight as possible, and as level as
labor and money could make it. Later En-
glish builders followed these ideas closely
.‘and the final result is magnificent in every
:sense. The roads are the best known, and
make tit ways for the splendid enginesude-
signed to run upon them. But all this is
insular. When ;,the Englishman tried con-
tinental railroading, as in Canada, and in

result has been not wholly happy, - ,

It is to the American we must turn to
learn what are the requirements of the mod-
e‘rn railway, and to get some suggestion of
its future. More than this, ‘the moment the
English locomotive is taken from its island
line it exhibits defects and a certain want
of pliability that completely unfit it for a
continental railway. But if the English road
and the ,anlisb engine are the best‘in the
world, why are they not the best for the
world? Simply because they do not pay.
There can?» no higher rerson than this. Any-
thing that docs not pay is useless, because
itdoes dot meet a human want. The excuse
of the railroad and its train is that it moves
men and things cheaply. The cost of any
operation is the measures of its value to
human begins, and if the road does not-pay,
of what good is it? Now a railway, to be
cheap, must follow the face of the country.
That is, the line, must go up and down hill,

lay of land, and without much attempt at
a straight line or le$el bed.
idea that American railroads have been
built,and all continental lines arc‘_likely to be
built in the future. If a railroad can thus
follow the face of the country, it will not
cost so much, there being no high bridges,
deepcuts, and tunnels. Of course there is
a limit in this direction, and even the Amer-
ican engine cannot climb up the side of a
house to ram arigbt angle on its own length;
but within certain broad limits it may be
said that the future locomotive must follow
lines that run up hill and down dale, and get
round very remarkable corners. i,‘ 1 ' .
This being the case, "what at the English
locomotive? Can it.travcl"lhlsafety over
crooked lines that'wander in astonishing

sinuous line of a winding river valley ?
There is no need to say itzought, or it may,
for it never did. It has been tried again and
.again, and the end of it all is, the engine is
in the ditch, and the unhappy stockholders
are clamoring for American engines built on

Their-scent death of :Mr‘sAani‘nmaane].
logs. OfiFairfield, Conn., inane ability-third
year of her age,recalls an unrecorded incident
of the war of the revolution. Mrs. Kellogg
was the daughter of Captain Elisha Hinman
of the United States navy, and her mother
was the only American who remained in
New London when the town was destroyed
by the traitor, Benedict Arnold, in 1781. At
that time'Captain Hinman’s ship was hourly
expected to arrive at New London, and it
was ‘hoped that he might come in time to
save the tawn. Mrs. Hinman. was well
acquainted' with Arnold, as he had often
dined at her house, and had been a friend of
her husband. Induced by anxiety for her
husband’s safety, she remained after all others
had fled,and_ watched the entry of the British
from the doorway of her house. As Arnold
rode up he‘saw and saluted ber,and said that
if she would point out her own property it
should be spared. She pointed out the houses
of several of her neighbors as her own, and
thus saved them from destruction. Arnold
remained on horseback near her house nearly
all day, noting the battle that was raging at
Fort Griswold on the Groton side of the
river, where the tall monumenhcommcmora—
ting the event now stands. Three times were
the British driven down the bill by the
deadly.fire from the fort. Then the ammuni-
tion of the defenders became exhausted and
they were obliged to surrender. The British
officer in command of the storming party was
so enraged at the desperate defense of the fort
that, as he entered, he asked, “Who com-
mands here 7” Col. Ledyard replied, “I did,
but you do now.” at the same time surrend-

sword‘and instantly pungent: into the heart
of the gallant colonel. An American ofilcer
standing beside his colonel, snatched his own
sword from its scabbard, and in a moment
the cowardly Briton lay dead beside his
victim. An indiscriminate massacre of all
within the fort followed, .and thirty of
the wounded Americans were piled into a
wagon that was rolled down a steep hillside

against a tree. Then hurried preparations
were made to evacuate their position by the
British, Arnold having learned of the expect-
ed arrival of Captain Hinman.

Mrs. Hinman, having witnessed these out-
rages from her housetop, became so incensed
against the traitor that she hurriedly descend-
ed from the roof, took a musket from a closet
where it had been left the day before by an
American soldier, and leveled it at Arnold as
he sat on his horse in. front of the house.
Taking a long, steady aim, she pulled the
trigger, but the piece missed fire. Hearing
the snap of the lock, Arnold turned and
asked her what that noise was. With great
presence of mind she had dropped. the gun
so that he did not see it, and she answered
that it was the breaking of a chair.

This incident formed the subject of a paint-
ing. by Huntington the artist, whose wife is
a grand—niece of Mrs. Hinman. This paint-
ing is now'in the possession of Mr. Thomas
Day, of Bergen Point,. N. .1. In it Mrs.
Hinman is represented as leveling a‘musket
at Arnold from a window of her house, and-
the burning foam is seen in the background.
The remains of both Captain and Mrs. Hin-
man now lie in the Cedar Grove Cemetery in
New London, where their monument is one

Six Bogus Widows.

 

srox BUREAU.
- [Worcester Spy.)

The manner in which the Pension Office
is sometimes defrauded is illustrated by the
case, of Capt. George Prince, sentenced last

ucsday in the United States District Court'
at Portland, Maine, to ten years’ imprison—
ment at hard labor, upon conviction of
obtaining fraudulent pensions to the amount'
of $16,000. Capt. Prince, it—seems, had
been employed in the Pension Office at
Washington as. examiner of widows’ claims,
and observing while there what he thought
and rightly as the event proved, the loose
manner of doing business, be conceived
the plan of getting his living out of the
government more easily than he could by
clerical work. He resigned his office, there-
fore, and became a widow, or to speak more
accurately, six widows, and as such drew six
pensions fer no less than twelve years with—
out detectiOu or. suspicion. The six’appli-
cations were made out in proper form with
all the necessary evidence and vouchers;
the papers passed 'muster at the pension of-'
free, the certificates were obtained and the
periodical payments made and vouchers
returned regularly. , By these means Capt.
Prince reached a yearly income of $1.200,
with but little trouble to himself beyond the
frightful amount of false swearing and forg-

his scheme. He might have‘continucd, to
draw his pensions indefinitely, he says, if he
had not been sick of the business, and wish-
cd to close up. \Vhethcr he really intended
to rcllrc from the dangerous business or not,
lie was at any rate but by excessive con-
fidence in his own cleverness, And in the
easy crcdulily of the pension burcau into
needless ventures. He killed off one of his
imaginary widows and substituted another
by the name of Sabina R. Mudge, whom
be stationed at Portsmouth, New Hamp-
shirc,and' if he had been content toleave
her there suppositituous Mrs. Mudge might
have been drawing a pension for him to
this day. But he moved her to Bath,Maine,
and after a short residence there closed her
earthly career, and wrote a notice of her
death for a Boston newspaper. This at-
tracted attention in Bath, and people began
to inquire about .this Mrs. Madge, whom
nobody had heard of before. “The bright
sunlight of publicity” was fatal to Capt.
He is sixty-two years
old, does not expect to survive his term of
He objects to being called
a forger, for, he says,‘ “all the names I have
ever signed to pension .papers except my
own name have been purely imaginary ones,
and how can that be forgery 1’"

 

Wood Staining.

As the pastime ..of fancy wood working is
very popular at present,‘ a few hints in the
artificial coloring of woods will .no doubt
prove of‘interest to hundreds. the following
simple recipes are given : .

To stain wood a golden yellow—Put a
quarter of an ounce of powdered tumcric
with five ounces of 'rectified spirits of wine
(alcohol) in a stopped bottle; allow it to
stand for about a week in a warm place,
during which time it must be occasionally
shaken; then filter the clear solution.‘
When this fluid is painted over the surfaCe
of. new pine wood it produces a deep 3e1-
low stain. It,the color is deeper than de-
sired, it may be made lighter by the addition
of more spirits of wine to the tincture.

Purple—In one quart of soft (rain) water
boil one ounce of logwood chips and two,
drums of Brazil wood till the fluid is re-
duc'cd to a pint, then strain. In another
bottle dissolve a dram of pearl-ash in one
pint of water. Use the colored wash first,
and when dry, apply. the clear wash, doing
this repeatedly, until the desired shade is
secured. . .

Black—In a quart of water dissolve a box
of “extract'of logwood,” wash the wood
with this, usinga piece of sponge ifastened
can handle. When drypaint with vinegar

been steeping for two days.
Black walnut—'Scald a quarter of a pound

beer, and strain. Apply with a sponge
or soft brush, and when dry, rub hard, and
repeat the staining until sufficiently dark.

In using the above receipts it should be
remembed that the wood must be dried after
each successive application of the'stain, and
they should be applied hot. Dye woods must
,sbe rasped into fine shreds. After staining‘

A bright little girl
Giving a twirl
On her skates.
A great bearded man
Right into her ran.

He was stout,

And—Wasn’t it nice ?—

Newspaper Wit.

There is much genuine wit floating in the
neWspapers, and much that is bogus to the.
last degree. A few specimens of the former
are here noted. When the Camden Post says
“a man's character is like a fence—you
cannot strengthen it by whitewash,” it gives
us a genuine epigram. Quite as felicitous,
too, is Mr. Otis in the Cincinnati Breakfast
Table: “A tack points heavenward When it
.means the must mischief; it has many hu-
man imitators? A bright turn to a familiar
.quotation is given by the Biddeford Miniature
thus: “I am thy father’s spirit, as the pint
flask said to the inquisitive urchin who had
been investigating the cupboard.” Mr. Tal-
madge having claimed that hell has four
gates, the Buffalo Express hopes they open
outward, so as to give egress in case of fire.
The Hackcnsack Republican gives a witty
conceit when it said last fall: “The leaves of
trees, like summer boarders with bills unpaid,
take their departure, leaving their trunks be-
hind them.” The following is from the
English: “At dinner the host introduces to
the favorable notice of the company a splen-
did trufllcd pheasant amid murmurs of ad-
miration." “Isn’t it a beauty I” he says; “Dr.
So—and-So gave it to me—killed it himself."
“Aw, what was he treating it for ?” says one
of the guests. This, which is going the
rounds without credit, bears evidence of ori-
ginqin the New York World: “A thorn in
the bush is worth a dozen in the hand.'—
Kansas City Times.

Owing to the custom of dyeing the hair

There is a letter in the Williamsburgh

has dared to claim it through fear of being
arrested“ The postmaster might know that
it was meant for us, if he would only stop
to think—Eschangc.

A Bride Made Insane by the Dis-
Sipation of Her Husband.

About four weeks ago there wasa wedding
in the house of a respected resident of this
city who is comfortably provided with this
world’s goods and had a handsome and cul-
tivated daughter about twenty years of age.
This daughter was married to a young
man who left his school abouts—year ago
and “began the world." The wedding was
attended by many friends, all of whom
join wishing the pair all the happiness
and prosperi'possible. , Little did they
realize the change that would take place
within so short a time, as they saw the bride
confident and happy start with the husband
for their new home. Last Saturday night
the husband did not come home from his
work. The bride waited anxiously until
midnight without learning of his where-
abouts, and, despite the advice of friends,
would not go to bed but sat up all night
anxiously waiting. Without sleep and
scarcely eating anything she started for her
husband’s oflice in the morning, but on the
way down the street learned that he left
_thc city Saturday in company with a woman
of doubttul character; . that he remained
away until Sunday evening, when he re-
turned very drunk and at that time was lying
at a hotel trying to recover from the effects
of his dissipation. Save a few unavoida-
ble evidences of grief and surprise the bride
controlled herself, and, accompamed by her
father, visited the hotel where her husband
was stopping. and there, half stupefied, her
recreant partner was seen lying on a bed
groaning; with pain and tortured with re-
morse. He admitted his guilt, begged for-
giveness and the wife , granted it. By
the advice of her father and a physician
she returned to her home, but she was very
much exhausted by the experience. The
husband was able to go home Monday mom-
ing, and when he .arrived found his bride-
wife a: raving maniac. She grew more
violent about midnight Sunday, and in her
delirium she tore down window curtains,
snlifashed the furniture andtried to injure her-
se by throwing herself headlon a ' the
walls of her bedroom. E gm”
