The Doctors do not think it wise for weary
men 1; 1 cat ;‘
Therefore it is that I ‘ arise these honored
guests to steet- . '
In other words to “ hold the fort," and give
the boys a rest,
; That Indigestion may not come their slum—
bers to molest. -
I would, my fiien'dr,.1’had a voice like him
you see today, _
Ex-Foreman of old “Number Five"; silk
merchant on Broadway; :
His name—I will not mention here,—-I
might awake his ire;
I’ll only say he never used a trumpet at a fire!
There was no need of trumpet. When he
raised his voice and cried
“Men ! man the brakes! ” the whole bri-
gade could hear him far and wide i
And when he took the trumpet once to give
a louder sound,
His shouting broke the window-glass for
half a mile around !
Yes! if I had Jams Huanaurr‘s voice,
there'd be no cause for fear
But what this while assembly. yes, all th
town would hear! -
Had I his voice I'd call on you your hats in
air to fling,
With three times three I'd lead your cheers
and make the welkin ring!
But since my voice “is limited," of course I
cannot do it.
Come then, John Hurlhutt ! be a mdn ! stand
up, and help me through it!
Call for three cheers for all our guests in ac-
cents loud and shrill,
And let each Westport fireman help give
them with a will.
Believe me, friends, our Firemen are worth
more than they cost! _
This is not “fuss and feathers"-——the money
is not lost .
Which this display has eaten up : there‘s not
a man but feels
His heart expand, wheue’er he hears the rum-
bling of those wheels!
There‘s something in a Fireman's shirt that
makes a men more noble !
The man who does not care to help a neigh -
bor in his trouble, .
Who is not moved by pity to soothe a bro-
ther's hurt,
That man, thank God! is never seen inside
a fireman’s shirt.
Hark! to the sullen boom on the dull air 1* .
See! on..the sky you black column arise!
Run! Firemen, for lives may he perisbing
there! .
Ring, bells! and shout, Foreman! till echo
replies !
All eyes are watching the smoke mounting
higher3—h
Who knows the rageof untnmable fire ?
The engines are rattling o'er sidewalk and.
road!
Heaving lungs press to the far-signalled"
goal!
Both driver and horse have forgotten their
load— \
The women leave house-work, school~boys
spuru control. .
Efiorts are mighty—men may not tire—
All hands are united to conquer the fire !
The red flames are bursting from window
and roof—
The gathering crowd shade their eyes from
the heat— .
Questions rain on all sides—conjecture is
proof—
Camwisdom control where distractions thus
meet 2’
Men are but captives who how to its ire ;
Bewildered slaves to terrible fire!
Look now! It is spreading! Now men to the
brake!
Pump on till a dimness envelopes the eyes !
Each fiame’s forked tongue has a thirst it
must slake:
For water it rages—by water it dies !
Work! work! then, unceasing, while cis-
terns grow drier:
Work! conquer the mastcr, tyrannical fire!
But what is that thought which has blanched
every face r -
"Pia—some one is missing, who may be in
there! -
Yes! yes! in that silent, enkindling space
A form that was human has choked in deo
spair !
Yes! souls unprepared, on this funeral pyre,
Fall slain by the monster, the demi-god fire!
Search! search ’mid the gaze of a horrified
, crowd :
Find ! find the charred piece of mortality
sought:
Take! take it up carefully, speak not aloud :
Bear ! bear it to friends that with grief arc
distraught.
Pray only that you may shun death so dire,
Calling for grace on unmerciful fire!
on men! while you shudder at visits of
fate.
Men who have fellows to keep by your care
These, these are but warnings, potent with
weight. ,

We‘ '
Heed then—'tis a duty that God will require,
Lest on your souls rest a life lost by fire!
It may be that some will consider it queer .
For a man of my cloth to presume to be here;
And some may be shocked when they hear
me assert ‘ .
That not many years since I wore and
Yes! I once was a fireman. I'm proud to dc

So I feel quite at home among firemen today;
Your trumpets, and hose carts, and banners
‘0 gay, .
Bring back the “ old times," the clatter and
noise.
When I ran to the fire with the rest of the
boys.
How often at mid-night I’ve left a warm bed,
Thrown my shirt on my arm, clapped my hat
on my head,
And ran for the engine in scanty attire.
In hopes “Number Two" would be first at
the fire !»
I can hear (in my mind,) the ' fire3bell’s ding-
dong;
I can see “Number One” as she thunders
along;
I can hear Foreman Goodwin shout, cheery
and shrill,
f‘Altogethel'i Down with her! Now, boys,
say you will !"
How well I remember the annual parade!
The march , thro’ the city,-éthe stream that
we played ; .
How the girls waved their kerchlefs! how
the shouts rent the air!
And how we all passed in review 'fore the
Mayor!
. ' ‘ Play sway, Number Two 1” How the words
thrill myoheart!
I can never forget, until life shall depart.
The contests we had, and the races we run.
And how Number Two could flood Number
One !
And so, brother Firemen, it isn’t so queer,
"I‘hess lines describe an incident witnessed by

Sounds out for a fire, {fit isn’t too light,
When an engine goes past me, I can't play

And so, e'er I know it, my hand ’s on the
rope.
Here does any one say, with an air quite im-
perial, ,
“ To run with an engine is unministerial !”
I beg of my wiseacrc friend to inquire
If the mission of parsons is not to fight fire?
The World is on fire with Evil and Sin; ‘
There's a Hell to avoid and a Heaven to win.
“ The tongue is a fire," (so the Scripture doth
tell,
And the file that it burns with is kindled of
Hell!
So our mission, dear Brethren, is one and the
same.
Both firemen and parsons are called to fight
flame.
The flames that you war with,cold water will
drench:
But the fire that we fight no mortal can
quench !
A truce now to “preachmcnt.” I know what
you're thinking—
’Tis time, yes, high time, to be eating and

And yet I am here, (so the Fates do deter-
mine),
To deliver my speech, song, poem or semen.
Brother Firemen, 1 greet you! Iwelcome

II ousatonic Railroad.
We learn that during July of this year
the Housatonlc railroad carried over their
road 10,000 more passengers than the cor-
responding month last year. The ordinary
travel over this road is on the steady in—
crease, and the Parlor Rock pic-pic grounds
are in great demand. In addition to this
quite a large number of excursions are car-
ried over all or portions Iof the road. The
passenger receipts are thus showing hande
some gains, which must encourage and grat<
ify the popular and energetic acting superin-
tendant, L. B. Stillson, Esq., who seems
ever on the alert to secure all possible busi-
H928.
Wives, Husbands and Horse
. . Doctors.
About a year and a half ago Superintend—
ent. Jackson, of Castle Garden, received an
amusing letter from a lonely widower in the
West in search of a wife. This letter found
. its way into print, and resulting in one of
the female immigrants finding a good hus-
band and a farmer’s house to take care of.
Mr. Jackson has been in receipt of letters
almost daily from “worthy" maids, widows,
bachelors, widowers, etc., until he has a col—
lection weighing nearly twenty pounds, of
applications for husbands and wives, each
one describing him or herself most minutely,
andgiving special instructions as to what
kind and character of a partner is wanted.
Some of these letters are very affectionate,
and as Mr. Jackson is a devoted husband and
father, it becomes necessary to sometimes
explainthe nature ofjthese letters, when they
chance to fall from his coat pocket in his
wife's lap while sewing on a button. Mr.
Jackson says there seems to be no end of
these letters asking and even pleading for a
husband or wife, and yesterday when be re.
ceived a letter from an ofilcial in Fremont,
Ohio, of an entirely different character, he
hesitated about making known its contents.
This was asking whether Mr. Jackson knew
of any veterinary surgeon, “either German or
English, of good character, and temperate
in habits,” who wanted to "go West." Such
a man. it was claimed, could make from $5
to $10 a day, as there was none in the place.
Mr. Jackson did not know of any,but.tbought
that the experience of a “matrimonial bu-
reau" could not well be repeated.
One of the “ex riences" given at a re-
cent Sunday schoo convention in Missouri,
was by the superintendent of the Whitefield
Sunday school. He said: “A missionary
of the American Sunday School Unlon or—
ganized our Sunday school a year ago. It
was for us to keep it up, as we didn’t know
much about Sunday 'school. We didnt
know tunes to sing our him in. I knew
one on page 51 of our book about ‘Little
drops of wster,’ and we sang that. We tried
others, but failed. The scholars used to
laugh when I called out ‘No 51.’ for the
know what was coming. They had sung t
every'Sunday for three months. Well. we
kept on singing‘that hymns. It showed us
God could make big things out [of little. and
, at the preaching last spring sixteen out of our
Sunday school joined the church—all the
' young men but one."
. ..-_ an».-.
Amateur Heathen.
The small-boy who has been well and
piously brought up hates the heathen though
policy compels him to conceal-,his'ifeelings.
He envies the heathen smalbbtly, and at the
Samezlime looks upon him as a selfish and
remorseless absorber of Christian pennies.
This is n'atui‘ and inevitable. The small-
boy is told that his heathen contemporary
goes constantly barefooted, wears very lit-
tle clothing, is never washed, never goes to
school, and is never taught anything that is
good and useful. Moreover, the heathen
" small-boy lives in a county where tigers and
other delightful wild beasts abound, and
where the exciting spectacle of a widow
burning to death in company with her hus-
band’s corpse—an attraction which no circus
in this country has had the enterprise to of-
fer—is frequently exhibited free. Of course
the small-boy of Christian lands envies the
blessed lot of his heathen brother, and would
‘ give worlds 'had he too been born a heathen.
Now, when this envious small-boy is com-
pelled to give 50 per cent. of his pennies to
the heathen, he feels that it is both unrea-
sonable and unjust, and his anger burns
‘agai t the heathen small~boy who, although
rolling in every kind of heathen luxury,
meanly absorbs the scant wealth of small—
boys who have had the misfortune to be
born in Christian countries. He cannot avoid
noticing that the grown-up folks who think
that he should give one-half of his pennies
to the heathen, do not divide their own
property in that way, and he never drops a
copper in the collector’s box without feel-
ing that he is the victim of moral black—-
mailing.
Now and then there arises a small-boy
with a gigantic intellect, and a degree of
courage which marks him as a born leader
of his race. It is the exceptional small-boy
of his variety who heads expeditions against
the Indians and organizes gangs of juvenile
highwaymcn. That these enterprises do
not meet with success is due to forces be—
yond his control,but they show the greatness
"of his‘intellect and the boldness of his charac.
rter. '- Of this type shaman-boy is Master
Joggers, of North Mcriden, Conn.,who lately
devised an ingenious and entirely novel
scheme for arresting the flow of American
copper coins toward the heathen pockets of
juvenile India.
Some two months since Master Jaggars
who had painfully accumulated the sum of
twenty-five cents, with. a--view to an ex-
pectedzcircus, was compelled to consecrate
fifteen cents to the” hated small-boys of In-
dia. It was this last of a long series of pe-
cuniary outrages that determined him to
take a bold stand against missionary assess-
ments, and he, therefore, summoned a mass—
meeting of small-boys on Saturday after-
noonaat Deacon Pratt'srLbai-necstensibly with
pose a plan of defense against heathen en'—
croachlnent. ' ‘ '
Masters Joggers made a moving speech in
which he glowingly described the luxury
in which the heathen smnll-boy wallows.
“He ain’t washed, and he can wear just as
little cloze ss‘heseriil'ineter. There ain't no
school for him, nor no Sunday, you bet.
He can go swimmin’ every day, and can
just lay off on the bank and see the croco-
diles scoop in' washerwomen and such.
Then his back yard i'is’bhuck‘full of tigers
and hipopomusses, and no end of snakes,
and he can steal his dad’s gun and shoot
’em out of the back window. ..This is the
chap that rakes in all the money, and I say
its mor‘n we ought. to stars. Now, I move
that we all turn heathen ourselves. The
- folks can't make us wash and go to school
if We're heathen, and all the other boys
will have to put up their money for us." It
is needless to say "the! ‘ this speech was re—
ceived with tumultuous applause. Hewls
of execration went up as the luxuries of the
hated heathen-were” described, and the pro-
. was unanimously supported.
porary opposition was manifested by Master
put out—a theory which was based upon a
misinterpretation of the hymn which speaks
of “heathen in his blindness." The objector,
however, was soon convinced of his error,
and expressed thereupon a hearty desire to
become a heathen.
The details of the scheme were all ar-
ranged by ZMaster Jaggars. A plaster bust
enough to serve as- an idol, and the amateur
heathen placed it on an empty barrel in the
barn, and bowed down to it with much
gravity. ’ They discarded all their clothing
except a towel twisted around the waist, and
blackened their entire bodies with burnt
were very successful heathen “in appear,—
ance, and; as it was late in the afternoon,
they resolved to spend the night in the barn ;
to beakfast on the spoils of Deacon Pratt‘s
orchard, and to attend Sunday school in a
body, in order to collect tribute from the
Christian boys. The Sunday school opened
as usual the next morning, although the ab-
sence of eleven boys created a good deal of
remark. Soon after the exercises had begun
the teachers were astounded at the entrance
of Masters Jaggers and his ten associate
heathen. It is only fair to say that the
heathen behaved themselves with as much
propriety as their professional duties would
permit. Master Jaggars advanced to the
Superintendent and remarked,“lf you please
Sir, we've all turned heathen. There ain't
no fooiiu’ about it.
old idol, and we don't believe in nothing no
more. So if you please, Sir, will you-please
tell them Christian boys to fork over half of
all the money they've got, and to remember
how blessed it is to consecrate it to real gen—
uine heathen."
There is no instance on record in which a
heathen has been converted asqulckly as
was Master Jaggers. The Superintendent
held him by one ear, and at the tenth stroke
of the cane Master Jaggers announced his
heathenism and promised to smash his idol
and return to the Christian faith without a
moment’s delay. The other heathen, alarm—
ed by the fate of their leader, fled to the
barn, washed themselves, resumed their
clothing, and went homeward with sober
countenances, singing missionary , hymns.
was a disastrous failure, but nevertheless the
boldness and originality of the scheme devis.
ed by' Master Jaggers must command our
wonder and admiration—Times.
The Connecticut Corn-Bug.
A Connecticut paper says that M. H. F.
Bassett, of Waterbury, whom it regards as an
authority on entomologica'l subjects, has ex-
amined specimens of the corn-bug. and finds
that it is not a new insect, by any means. It
is a beetle known as Euryomia Inda. He
says: “0f one thing the farmer may rest as
sured—tbe beetle in question will not eat his
corn after it gets hard. It is not a new in—
sect, and even if its ravages are as great as
represented there is very little reason to fear
that it will be troublesome in the future, as
its habits as a destructive insect have, till
now, failed to attract much attention. Every
entomologist knows that occasionally a rare
and obscure insect will appear in prodigious
numbers for one season, and then almost or
quite disappear for many years. When such
swarms appear, they are often forced by hun-
ger to' feed upon what in ordinary cases they
would not touch. If the new food plant
happens to be a cultivated one, the ",agricul.
turist naturally looks'upOn the inscct as a
new and destructive pest. The poor insect
has in such cases to bear the sins of the whole
insect world and even more. All the smut,
mildew, rot, blight, or whatever may touch
the farmer's crops, are the work of the one
mentioned by the Burlington correspondent

our many species of click or spring beetles,
or by the grub or worm which in its perfect
state is known as a tipula—a long-leggedrslen-
der, two-winlged fiy, which is often called
‘daddy long- egs.’ Of. the tipula there are
many species, and they often do great dam-

Celebrated Safes, .
In purchasing a Safe, we wish to call your
attention to some of the important advantages
our Safes possess over all others, and which
:39 them the cheapest and best Safes now

1st. Our “Paras-r Issrna Bom- WORK"
nonsmts in placing the bolts and locks on the
inside of the door (as shown in the cut above
where they are at all tilnes accessible, an
can be cleaned and kept in order, and thus
prevent them from unexpectedly locking you
out. In all other Safes the bolts are placed
next the cu‘tsidapl‘ate of iron, being covered
com lately by the filling, consequently im.
blo topil or clean them without digging
out the filling, which is expensive, besides
losin the useofthe Safeseversl da s. As
the. ‘ g in our Safes is between t 9 looks
and bolts and the outside plate of the door,
in‘most'csses we can unlock our safes on the
oombinstiou‘aftcr» they have passed through a
severe fire. which saves-Min them open.
_ 2d. ' Our “Psuu'erean AP" consists
of the back plate of the deer being hung on
hin . ,snd fastened by a,thumhserew.which

50th by. sigply moving the thumb-screw.
8d. W _ " other nfemnkers use three
wheel locks on their,.firs-proof safes (reserv-
ing the best four-wheel locks for bank safes),
we put on our £01111;sz LOOKS .011 on
safes..from_ the sum lest to the largest, and for'
simplicity and durability cannot be excelled.
4th. Allour Safeim mots .1.ng main),
inst of wood-linedi’asin other safes, which
enables us to use the the grentest amount of
water-in our filling without, of tho
Safg's being damp. All corners o the Safes
are secund with angle iron, which. together
with the «algal nature of our, filling, pre—
Yflllllthml‘ injury from falling, or fall-
ingwallsimtimhen. Our szesrhave mu
nelson Instead of single or doubla as in
others, guild are made with and withbut inside
doors. . In the'greatBoston fire ourSafesliad
- the chafnpionrecbrd,” wasfully proved it
the time, to .these important improvements
do we owe our succem and'the great popular-
ityour safes have attained throughout the
country. After that t fire we published
a complete list of our $2:- exposod,those that
failed to preserve their contents, besides those
that were an
longed our competitors-to follow our example
which they would not do, as they knew that
by so doing they would only assist us in dem-
onstratin t9 the. yaridthmretiority of our
Safes, all our clailn’to the {>113pr record.
Although! “that Great Fire ‘so conclusively
provsddhe, superiorityofouESafesto resist
sutensc baht, we believed that we could~ im.
prove their, ‘i‘nid we "have, therefore, since
that time, increased the thickness of the walls,
added to the number of flanges, and strength-
ened themin .rarious ways, until we' now
manufacture a Safe better than ever before,
‘ and unequalltilitfor its excellence. It has been -
our constant rim to make the mask SAFE that
can be produced, believing that, especially in
purchasing a safe to keep that which may
have cost a li {films to accumulate, the best is
decidedly tlu cheapest. In these dull times
it is the custom ofvmany'safe-makers forman-
ufsctnre several grades of cheap sofas, and
recommend that which, can be sold the cheap-
est, without regard to 'quality, and many
safes are now in use that are painted finely
outside, but are worthless to preserve their
contents from fire. We make but one class
of Safes, which is the best we know how to
produce. Send for descriptive catalogue. ‘

A HERO 0F BENNINGTON.
“MY gmn’iherfit at Bennington,”
The old man feebly said:
The teal-s streamed down his furrowed checks
.He bowed his aged head,
“He fought at Bennington you say 9"
Asked plucky Joe Hawlee;
“We're going thereto celebrate 1
01d hero, come with me !”
“Thy grandsirc fought at Bennington ?"
Exclaimed the president;
“Take thou the head—thou seemest as one
Whom Providence has sent !”
“Sit on thcstand! Ride in the ’hus !”
Said grateful General Banks;
“0 patriot sire! go marshal us,
Thou leader of our ranks 1’”
He in crimson carriage grand
The gay procession led;
He sat conspicuous on the stand 3.
He in the tent was fed.
When the Mock Hessians charged on am“
He raised a battle-cry;
With wrath his furrowed face grew dark,
And fire was in his eye.
Then Conner said : “Thou hero hale.
‘T is freedom’s jubilee
I prithee tell us now the tale
The veteran’s told to thee."
The old man slowly rose and said,
“I've heard iny gran’ther tell
How gallant Baum his redcoats led
And give the rebels H—alifax!
“The rebel force was two to one!
Baum knocked ’em in a heap!
0, how the Yankees broke and run!
Yes—cut an’ run like sheep.
“My gran'ther fit at Bennington,
Fit in the Tory ranks—
And"—-then he was escorted down
By stalwart General Banks. '
As he was hustled off the stand,
They heard the hero say,
“ ‘Taint so! We whaled the rebel aband!
01d,Stark was licked that day!”

The Wrong Chandler.
A MISTAKE THAT WAS NOT DISCOVERED UNTIL
AFTER THE CHAMPAGNE.
William E. Chandler, the Secretary of the
National Republican Committee,arrived here
last Wednesday, and the next morning W. E.
Chandler an eastern acrobat and juggler,also
reached this city from Chicago to fill an en—
gagement at Woodward’s Gardens. Last
evening our State Central Republican Com-
mittee, assisted by many prominent Repub-
licans, tendered the former distinguished
politician a dinner atfthe Palace Hotel, at
which there was grepreseuted an imposing
array of political ’and financial big bugs of
the party. After the steak-wrestling and
knife-swallowing had in a measure subsided,
the company braced back in their chairs,
closed their eyes in the attitude of earnest
attention, and the speeches began. Fourteen
welLknown politicians said that never in the
whole course of their career had they been
called upon to do justice to an occasion more
fraught with, &c., &c. Eleven heavy cap-
italists felt proud of the opportunity of ex-
tending a characteristic California welcome
to one whose eminent services, &.c., &c.
Eight editors remarked that as what had al-
ready been said had been on the whole so
well said,they felt that nothing remained for
them but to join in extending the right
hand of fellowship to one whose signal abili-
ties, &c.
The occasion of all this oratorical tafiy en-
cased the edibles and surrounded the Food-
erer with a heartiness that did the souls of
his entertainers good and when the toast of
the evening, “ Our distinguished guest" was
drunk, he steadied himself by placing one
hand on the Websterian forehead of Super—
intendent Dodge and the other on Senator
Sharon’s virgin dome of thought,and respond-
ed as follows :
“Gentlemen—my dear boys: I really am-
er—knocked endways by this way up blow—
out. You do me proud. I’ve—er hearn tell .
that you California fellers treated Booth and
Jefferson and them big bugs of their pro-
fesshun hang up, but I didn’t know you
came out so allfired strong on us variety
people. However, I claim to be “The Only
Chandler,” and I can get away with any man
in my line of business that walks on legs
There aint one of ’em kin keep four cannon
balls in the air at the same time—not one, I
know. There’s that little Dutchman—Klop-
,heimer—who bills to do my hoop contortion
act, but he’s a fraud, gents—a perfect fraud.
The hoop he crawls through with a- glass of
water balanced on his nose is just the same
size as mine, I admit; but then it’s a rubber
hoop, and I cari prove it. I am going to
have a benefit next Saturday evening and I
hope you’ll all come. Only six bits for re-
served seats. I will now pass round the table
with the tickets.”
But before “The Great Senagambian J ug-
gler"could consummate his frugal intentions
he felt like one who trod alone a banquet
hall deserted. His guests had quietly, but
firmly lit out, and as we go to press the
miserable committee, who had captured the
wrong Chandler, are still hiding in the fool-
hilis until the thing blows oven—Sim Fran-
. circa Post.
A Midnight Vigil.
The night is dark, the air is raw' and chill
and damp, the storm is raging. An old and
eminently respectable citizen, out on North,
Hill, is sleeping the sleep of the just with
the snore of the wicked, and the private
clocks throughout the city, for Burlington
has no town clock, are tolling, as well as
they know how to to]! it, the hour of one
thirty a. m. .
A violent jangling of the door bell awakes
the eminently respectable citizen.
Shuddering, he crawls out of bed, mutter—
ing he gropes across the floor.
Swearing under his breath, he falls over a
rocking chair.
At last he finds a match,1ights a lamp, and
descending the stairs opens the hall door,and
admits a gust of wind that blows out the
lamp and a torrent of rain that drenches him
to the skin.
“What is wanted 2" the respectable citizen
asks.
“Are you the resident owner of this prop-
erty ‘3” promptly inquiries the caller.
“I am," wonderingly replies the eminently
respectable citizen.
“Were you in bed when I rang ?"
“I was," replied the eminently respect—
able. .
“That was right,” cheerfully exclaims the
caller, “that is the place for a man of your
age at this time of night. I am surprised to
see you out of it. Get back to it,and pleasant
Steam! 1’
All is silence after the crash that ensues,
save a mocking smile that dies away in the
distance. The fragments of the lamp that
are revealed on the sidewalk by the coming
of the dawn, indicate that either the lamp
fell out of a balloon at a height of about
twenty-nine miles, or was hurled at some ob-
ject with great force. When will the rays“?!
be solved ?
The telephone war has broke out in Hart.
0rd. The Western Union company, since .
the Bell telephone passed into the control of
the new American Union company, has been
quietly stretching telephone wires over the
city, and has n ow begun to put in the Edi-
son instruments, and to canvas for subscrib-
ers: The result is that the other company.
which had the field clear, has a lively compe-
tition to meet. '
