The latc'Senator Chandler was born in Bedford, N. H., in 1813, and passed his boyhood in that State, where hejrcceived an academic education. While still a youth he left his home to make a fortune, and drifting to Michigan settled in Detroit, then an insignificant city, and engaged in busi~ ness asa store-keeper and dealer in miscel- laneous merchandise. He as prosperous almost from the commencement. He worked hard for success, deserved to succeed, and succeeded. By his honesty in trade and great affability of manner he won hosts of friends and customers, and made money rapidly. In real estate speculation, too, he was very fortunate, and in one way or-an- other, but always in an honorable way, he made for himself a very large fortune. In 1851, while he was still actively engaged in \business pursuits, the people of Detroit, tired of political hunks, determined to elect as their mayor a man new to politics. With much unanimity Mr. Chandler was named in that connection, and because of his well- known generosity, public spirit, and great energy in well-doing, was warmlysupport- ed. His election followed almost as a mat— ter of course, and from that;time forward until his death he was prominently identi- ged with thejpolitics of, his party and of the country. ' ' A year after his election as mayor of De- troit in 1852, Mr. Chandler was nominated by the whigs to be governor of Michigan, but despite a gallant struggle he was defeat- ed. At this time, Michigan being-in the hands of the democrats, General Cass was practically; the dictator of its politics. In time, however, a change came, the long dominant party was disposed from power, and General Cass lost his place in‘the United States Senate. ‘In his stead Mr. Chandler was elected. He took his seat during the session of the Thirty-fifth congress, and fully justified the choice of his constituents by hard work and the utmost attention to the duties of the position. While-in the senate he was made the chairman of the committee on commerce, a most responsible place, and also undertook the always thankless task of serving on the committees on the District of Columbia. In both places he was noted for his untiring zeal,- hard work and unlimited energy. He was twice elected to the‘senste, serving unin- terruptedly from March 4; 1857, to March 3, 1875. - The Michigan house of representatives was captured, in 1874, by a coalition of democrats and liberals, and Mr. Chandler was not re-elected. Soon after his retire— ment, however, he was appointed by Presi- dent Grant to the position of secretaryr of the interior, and in that place gav the lie to the detraction of his enemies by econom— ical and business like management of the de- partment, During the national campaign of 1876, Mr. Chandler was the chairman of the republican national committee. ’ His great executive ability made'his services in— valuable in this capacity, and it is perhaps more to him than to any other man that the republican party owes its success in the-last natibnal campaign. When many of the journals and many of the'leaders of the par - ty in the fall of 1876, immediately after the presidential electidn, gave up the contest and conceded the election, of the democratic ticket Mr. Chandler assumed control and refused to give up the presidential battle until the returning boards of Florida and Louisiana had been heard from. Mr. Christiancy having resigned his seat in the senate the opportunity again presented itself for Mr. Chandler to return to the senate. He took his seat in February of the present year. Again he found the senate chamber in possession of the‘ south and him- self in the minority where‘ he stood nearlya quarter of a century before. His speech on Jeff Davis, who had just been eulogized in the senate, made Senator Chandler famous throughout the north, and is so characteristic of the man that we give an extract from it: “Twenty years ago," said he, “I, in company with Mr. Jefferson Davis, stood up in this chamber and, with him, swore by Almighty God that I would support the constitution of the United States, Jefferson Davis came from the cab- inet of Franklin Pierce into the senate of the United States and .took the oath with me to be faithful to this government. Dur— ing four years I sat in this body with Jeffer- erson Davis and saw the preparations going on from day to day for the overthrow of this government. With treason in his heart and perjury upon his lips, he toOk the oath to sustain the government that he meant to overthrow.” And he added, "-1 little thought at the time that I should live to bear in the senate of the Uited States eulogies upon Jefferson Davis living—311v- ing rebel—on the floor of the senate of the United States. Sir, I am amazed to hear it, and;I can tell the gentleman on the other side that they little know the spirit of the north when they ceme here at this day with bravado on their lips, uttering culogies upon him whom every man, woman and child in the north believes to have dcena double- dyed-traitor.” ’ GENERAL onsn'r’s rmnurn. A representative of the Chicago Tribune, with General Grant, had a talk with the gen- eral Saturday afternoon regarding the death of Senator Chandler. The news of the death was received by the party at Columbus,Neb. General Grant said: It is the saddest piece of news I have heard yet. I have known him a long time, and he was a man for whem I had a person- al regard. I look upon his services ttflhe country as having been great in a'political field, and I think his loss will be very se- verely felt, not only by his state but by the country at large. I was much shocked to hear of his death. I regarded him as a man of very great integrity,,and bold and fear— less in the enunciation of his views. Isaw him the last I saw of any of my American friends at home. He Went with me down the Delaware river as far. as I was accom- panied by any of my friends. I received a letter from hima short time ago, a personal letter, Which.1'eached me before I .left San Francisco, and which I was going to answer tomorrow at Fort Omaha. I knew him slightly a good many years ago, and I have been intimate with him ever since 1864, when I went geast to take command of the army. He was a member of my cabinet secretary of the interior during my second term, and it was then that I was possibly more intimate with him than before and learned to know him better. His death is a loss to the whole country, and its suddenness adds greatly to the shock. asrurarnn BY A FELLOW STATESMAN. The New York Tribune of to—day pub; lisbes a report of an interview with Mr. E. B. Washburne, ex~minister to France, who has long enjoyed intimate acquaintance with the deceased. He said that Mr. Chandler took his seat in the senate as the successor of General Cass, in 1857. He was then com. paratively unknown, as he had not before occupied a prominent position in public life, although he had been a candidate for gov- ernor of Michigan in 1852. From 1867 un- til 1869, when Mr. Washburne left this country, his relations with Mr. Chandler were always confidential and intimate. He had occasion to see a great deal of him dur- ing the war, as Mr. Chandler was on the com- mittee on the conduct of the war, which made a most remarkable and enduring record in regard to our military campaigns. He entered into the spirit of the war for the . Union with zeal and devotion, rendering services to the cpuntry which should never be forgotten. ’ He was a man of great bold— ness and indomitable will. To the. great qualities he added great zeal and industry, devoting his whole time to the service of the country. He never lost his faith in the ultimate triumph of the holy cause of the Union. His experience in the senate gave him a trueinsightinto the character and designs of the leading rebels, and that fact had made him always distrustful of them. He never believed their professions of loyalty and was outspoken in a warning to the country of their designs to get possession of the government and practically change that government into a confederacy. He ha stubornly to-these opinions while some others were eager to shake hands over the bloody chasm, and, like many others of the same way of thinking, was denounced aslvan implacable, unwilling to see the fires of civil war extinguished. - As a senator no state had a more faithful one than did Michigan in Mr. Chandler. ’He was active, faithful and vigilant, fully com- prehending the subjects upon which he leg- islated, and always making his influence felt. There was never a more. incorruptible man in the halls of congress. There was never a taint or smell upon his garments. He was never mixed up in any jobs, but al— ways opposed all schemes to get money out of the treasury. Such, indeed,was his well. known character for integrity that no lobby- ist or corruptionist ever dared to approach him,’ and he has left a senatorial record of his probity, his patriotism and hisintelli— gencc. ‘ In the cabinet with Prpsident Grant, as secretary of the interior, Secretary Chandler showed his great executive ability. Devoted to the duties of his office he soon made himself familiar with all the details, and wherever he found incapacity, interference or disloyalty, he struck at it without hesita- tion. The death of hardly any man in the coun~ try would create a more profound impres- sion than did that of the late senator of Michigan. A Strange.Co—rner of the World. It may be some time yet before the full significance of the daring voyage of the Vega along the north coast of Asia, with refer— ence to navigation, is fully known. Pro- fessor Nordenskjold has not yet reported his views upon that point. He has merely told us a few facts. For instance, he says he has discovered that the coast of Siberia west of the Lena is a vast plain, devoid of trees, in the navigation to which an en-- counter with impenetrable ice floss is generally to be feared. There are no great islands out to sea there to prevent the wind from driving the ice down toward the land; and there are vast distances where few rivers empty into the Polar Ocean, and. by their warm current, preserve a space of open water along the shore. For several hundred miles in the vicinity of the Lens, however, great rivers pour into the ocean, and large islands lie off to the northwest, and there is almost no ice along shore. East of the Kolima toward Behring Strait, there are no great riverp, and although the climate is milder and the woodlands creep down al- most to the sea, the frozen fioes crowd closer to the shore, and in tho Fall and Winter they, are liable to bar the way to shipping. They gave Nordeuskjold great trouble,and on the 27th of September they left him enchained in sold ice a few miles from the open water north of Behring Strait and only 130miles from the strait itself. They kept him there eight weary months. When communicating these facts, the daring Swede has not yet published his conclusions thereupon. If he has left us in the dark in regard to the commercial navigation of the Siberian coast, however, he has at "least taken pains to reveal the interesting nature of the region he has just passed through. ‘When the ice closed in “55:11 the Vega, and left the stout ship ensla in those northern solitudcs, Professor Nordenskjold wrote a letter to Dr. Ocar Dickson, the main contributor toward the fitting out of the expedition. describing the scenes along the coast. The letter dispatched on the" 20th of February, has at last reached its destination, and is now published in the London Standard. The letter calls attention, in the first place, toa group of Islands which are very re— markable from a scientific point of view. There; islands, the New Siberian, open the book of the history of the world ata new place. The ground there is strewn with wonderful fossils. Whole hills are covered with the bones of mammoth rhinoceros, horses, uri, bison,‘ oxen, sheep, etc. The scawashes up ivory, upon the shores. In this group is possibly to be found the solu- tioupf the question of the ancestry of the Indian elephant, and important facts with regard to the vertebrates which existed at the time of man’s first appearance upon earth. How came horses and sheep in a region now locked in the fetters of an eternal Winter, uninhabited by man, not now supporting animal life in any form, almost impossible of access? Professor Nordenskjold was unable to solve the ques— tion himself, and he suggests that it is of the utmost importance to science to send a light draught steel steamer to those islands for a thorough exploration. . At Cape Scholagoskofi', the Vega passed the point where the Siberian merchant Schalawrofi ended his persistent and intrep- id attempts to reach Behring Slrait from the river Lena, by a lonely death with his whole company ‘of men in abut on the snow-clad shore. Upon rounding this cape, Nordenskjold met the first natives seen along that whole coast. They spoke a tongue utterly unknown Not a compre- hensible sentence could they utter in any European language. They lived intents, pitched on the sand banks separating the lagoons peculiar to this coast from the sea. A hardy, jovial, handsome race, fur-clad, keen at barter, ignorant of the value of money, and preferring a red flannel shirt, a few brass buttons, and the piece of tin-foil on a cake of soap to golden roubles and sil- ver coins, they live an active and healthy life, use stone and bone implemen is, and are without a trace of religion in their customs. Their tents are double, one within the other. The children are totally naked within' the inner tent, and were often seen outside, running about on the ground, with the tem- perature down below 32°. The women wear nothing when within the tents except a girdle, and the men have shaven heads. A remarkable similarity was noticed he— ‘ l‘he next Tuesday they rode towards Grand _ ‘best clothes, with plumes in their and fur casually tried the experiment. , NORWALK, CONNECTICUT, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1879. tween the implements, dresses and customs of these people and those of the Esquimaux and North American Indians. These peo- ple are the Tschuktschres. Though armed with stone and bone weapons, and though wild and and itineran , they evidently have a history. They drove off the original in- habitants of the region 200 years ago, the Onkilons, whose houses, places of sacrifice circles of moss grown bear skulls and weap- - ons are still to be found almost everywhere on the coast. Lieutenant Nordquist devoted himself to learning their language. These Indians are on the original highway be— tween the cradle of the human race and the home of. the aborigines of .the northern part of North America, and it is not thought that the resemblencc between them and the Greenlanders is accidental. The arrival of the Vega 9n the Tschuktscher coast was an event like the landing of Columbus in the New World. It. was an unprecedented oc— currance, and made a sensation throughout the region. East of the Lena Professor Nordenskjold found on shore no scattered blocks of stone such as are distributed over a continent by glaciers, and such as are found elsewhere in Liberia. This fact was held to point to the absence of land out to sea north of that coast, and it excites, anticipations as to the possible discoveries which are to be made by the Jeannette. Not the least of the pe- culiaritics of this strange region is the fact that the coast appears to be rising slowly out Of the sea. The inhabitants have to shift their villages at times nearer to the edge of the water, which is gradually recoding from' them. Professor .Nordenskjold’s letter is full of facts like these, and the scientific world will wait with impatience the further' publication of the results of his discoveries. Tribune. , Miercekcr’s Story. _ The story told by Miss Josephine Meeker of her experience, .and that of the other cap- tives in the hands of the Utes, is intensely interesting and reads like some of the tales in the early history 0? New England. Her quick wit and stoutness of heart in such a trying situation as she was placed in will command admiration, and her whole conduct while in captivity shows that real heroines are not yet extinct. Miss Meeker is described as a blOnde, tall in statute and vivacious in manner and conversation. When the fighting commenced at the agency she, her mother, Mrs. Price and two children ran into the inilk room, locked the door and hid under a shelf. They staid there until almost sun- 'down and then made a dash for a field of sage brush, hoping to escape the notice of the Utes But they were seen and the bul- lets whizzed around them “as thick as grasshoppers. Mrs. Meeker was hit by one of the bullets, which made a flesh wound. They gave themselves up and Miss Meeker fell into the hands of an In— dian named Pursune, who seems to have been quite a decent Indian as Indians go. Chief Joseph wanted herbut Pursune would not give her up. Both these Indians were drunk, which added to the horror of the situation. At dark 9. start was made for the wildera ness. Miss Meeker hada horse with a saddle but no bridle. One of the children was lashed behind her, and her mother sixty— four years old, in feeble health and wound— ed, followed, riding bareback behind Chief Douglass, both on one horse. In this manner they traveled, with a halt or two, until after midnight. At the first half Chief Douglass walked up to Miss Meeker, placed his loaded gun three times to her forehead and asked her if she was going to run away. She boldly replied that she was not afraid of him or of death, and'that she should not run away, and when the other Indians saw he could not frighten her they derided him and he sneaked oil to frighten Mrs. Meek- er, whom her daughter encouraged by shouting to' her that they were only trying to scare her. After this performance a drink was taken and the march resumed. At the next stopping place squaws came and sang and danced fantastically around, and after having receiveda newly stolen Government blanket apiece went away. This was Monday night. Tuesday and Wednesday were spent in camp, and on Wednesday Miss Meeker was‘visited by a squaw who cried all the time because her Own little child had died and her heart was sore. She put her hand on Miss Meéker's shoulder and said: “Poor little girl, I 'feel so sorry. You have no father and, you are away off with the Utes so far from home. ” Another tender-hearted squaw took little Johnnie Price into her arms wept over him, and said in Ute that she felt very sorry‘for the captives. Thursday the camp. was moved about twelve miles. river all day without dinner or water, and Mrs. Meeker suffered dreadfully. They camped in the sage brush that'night, and the next morning moved five miles down the river. Saturday and Sunday they trav- eled, and on Saturday Mrs. Price and Miss Meeker were threatened with death by a young buck. The rest of the journey was uneventful until General Adams came to take them away. Miss Meeker gives thanks to Chief Ouray, his wife,and General Adams for their escape: ' In the course of her recital Miss Meeker‘ reveals the lndian as he doubtless is in the majority of cases. Rum drinking and squaw beating occupy much of his time, Pulling the hair of the squaws seems to be a favorite pastime of their owners, some of whom are as fantastic as they are brutal. Chief Douglass one night paraded before Miss Meeker, in imitation of the sen- tries at the agency, sueering and calling him- self “a heap big Indian." Then he sang English songs which he had learned at the agency and the negro melody, "Swing low, sweet chariot.” One of the favorite amuse- ments of the Utes was to put on a negro soldier’s cap, a short coat and blue pants- loons, and imitate the hegroes in. speech and walk, which goes to show that negro minstrelsy is not confined to the whites. Miss Meeker admits that she could not help laughing at their antics, in spite of their troubles. One Sunday they made a pile of' sage brush “as large as a washstand” and put soldiers’ clothes and' a hat on the pile. Then they danced a war dance and sang as they waltzed around it. They were in their dancing caps, made of skunk skins and grizzly bear skins, with ornaments of eagle feathers. At intervals they would charge the pile of coats with their knives and pre- tend that they would burn the brush. This performance lasted from two o’clock till surr- down. a ‘ Although Miss Meeker and her companions came out of their" captivity safely, and were less brutally treated by the Indians than many. other unfortunates have been, their experience at the agency and afterwards was a terrible one. It would be pleasant to think that the outbreak of the Utes and its dread- ful consequence close the and list of such horrors, but it is not likely that such is the case. ‘ ‘ An order has been issued by the postmas- ter General forbidding letter carriers and other postal employees to circulate any “ad- dress” calculated to induce the public to make them gifts or. presents, as he regards the practice as objectionable. Dr. Brown Sequard, in a late letter to the French Biological Society, states thatmilk moderately warmed. if injected slowly inloa human artery, will revive a dying patient quite as much as injections of blood. He cites a number of cases in which he has suc- ’know the circumstances unde ‘ o Facts About Eggs. [Familiar Science and Faucler’s J onrnal.] The relative wei hts of the portions of the eggas given by r. Thompson are: Shell and membrane, 106 0; albumen, 604.2; yolk 288.0. About one-half of the entire weight may be regarded as nitrogenous and nutritous matter. This is a greater proportion than that of meat, which is rated at twenty-five to twentyeight per cent., showing that, as a food, apound of egg is worth nearly two pounds of meat. The white of the egg,'from its tendency to coagulate l a hard, indi- gestible substance, is apt 'to disagree with the stomachs of invalids, when the yolk may be harmless. Raw eggs are more wholesome than boiled. . The longer an egg. is kept the more indigestible it mecomes, and hence the desire for new laid eggs. The largest-sized egg of which any accounts are given were found in 1850 in Madigascar. They belonged to a bird now extinct, and to which M. Saint Hilaire has given the name of Epornis maximus. Two of these eggs ar‘rescrved by the Frency Academy. One of them is thirteen and one-half inches in its shortest. Its capacity is eight and One-half quarts—six times that of an ostrich’s egg, add equal to 148 hens’ eggs, or 500‘- 000 of those of the humming-bird. The chicken which laid these eggs was twelve feet high. No sale could be found for such eggs, and the fowls producing them were wisely allowed to become extinct. The specific gravity of a nsw-laid hen’s egg is from 1.08 to 1.09. By keeping, the weight diminishes from evaporation of the water and the substitution of air through the pores of the shell. This diminution has been observed to cOntinue until an egg weighing originally 907.25 grains has fallen to 303.2. The weight depends, of course, more upon the size of the egg than its age; and there is such variation that it is a wonder they are not sold by weight. “An egg is an egg" everybody says; and 'the facility of counting any given number at twelve cents per dozen will probably always ren der it impossible to make a change in the matter of selling. A dozen of eggs from a Brama fowl will weigh sometimes twenty-five ounces, while the same number from acom- mon dunghill fowl will not exceed twenty ounces; and in some cases eggs in the mar- ket will not weigh over fifteen ounces to the dozen. _No law can be made to reach the fowls and compel them to lay eggs of a uni- form size; and if the attempt were made, there is no security but that a hen conven— tion would adopt resolutions not to lay any more eggs until the obnoxious bill was re- pealed. But the State regulates the weight of a bushel of grain and a loaf of bread, why not say how much a dozen of eggs shall weigh—say twentytwo ounces? Such alaw would protect customers, and at the same time do agreat deal toward improving the stock of poultry in the country. The poultrymen would not allow it to be said that they had to give fourteen eggs for a dozen, when by the substitution of choice breeds eleven would suffice. While their may be, and undoubtedly is, a difference in the flavor of eggs of different breeds of fowls, and also in those of the same fowls at various seasons of the year, there are really two kinds of eggs the good and bad. These terms admit a qualification . An egg is good as long as it remains in a state fit to use for cooking purposes; but the egg which baker will often use is often wholly unfit for the table. The better the condition of the fowl laying the eggs and the nearer ' she approaches maturity, the better the eggs will keep and' the more valuable they will prove as source of nour— ishment. Any method that will hermetically seal the pores of the shell will serve to keep the egg fit for using at certain time. Eggs may be kept good in racks in a.cool, clean place for half a year. While it. is, without doubt, economy for the city house-keeper to “put up" eggs in the season of plenty, it is better econbmy for the farmer’s wife to ar- range with lier poultry that some of them shall be ready to furnish a supply when eggs are scarce and high. Give America the Parisian Sunday from sea to sea, and in 200 years feather-heads and roughs would be in the ascendency. Many men still alive have slept in-homes with unbolted doors in the country side of New England fifty years ago. If we wish to, restore to public and private life that security, and to industrial life that peace which filled New England when she had a Sabbath worthy of the name, we must im— itate the hallowed Sundays of our fathers. I look back to the moonlight dropping through the open door of New England country houses in the midnights of fifty or eighty years ago. I find in that unsuspic- ious radiance and in the religious culture the united citizenship, the theoratic brother- hood, Which lay beneath it, the pillar of fire, and the only pillar of fire that can lead us out of communism and socialism and the political dangers of universal suffrage— Joseph 0007:. AGEM FROM Wntr'rtnn.—To appreciate the truth and beauty of the following lines from the, pen of Whittier, it is necessary to which they were written. A friend 0 Whittier’s youth, who had spent most of his life on the Illinois prairies, called on the bachelor poet, at his home in Amesbury, and togeth— er they recalled the scenes of their child- hood, and briefly recounted the course of their after lifc. Whittier seemed much af- fected by the allusions of his friend to his prarie home, where a wife, children. and a- grandchild, (“Constance”) awaited his re~ turn: "Call on your way to the cars, and I will hand it to you.” He called, and re- ceived the following gem. The lines show the? delicate texture of the poets heart, the tendrils of which were evidently stretCh- ing after something beyond the reachofa bachelor :— The years, that since we met have flown, Leave, as they found me, still alone, Nor wife, nor child, nor grandchild dear Are mine, the heart of age to cheer. More favored thou; With hair less gray . Than mine, canst let the fancy stray 'I‘o where thy little Constance sees The prairie ripple in the breeze. For one like her to lisp thy name Is better than the voice of Fame. Some interesting questions are raised by the action of a dentist in Wayland, N. Y. Miss Rosa Roberts, who had bought some false teeth of the dentist, was called upon by him while she was visiting a friend. He in— quired,as in duty bound, how her teeth were lasting, and she took them out and handed them to him that he might see. He calmly placed them in his pocket and told the wretched young lady that she might have them when she paid for them, and the mon- ey not being forthcoming he relentlessly took the teeth away with him. Love comes into the tale here, in the shape of a young man who was engaged to Miss Roberts, and who called _to see her that evening. Of course she could not see him before mar- riage without her elegant false teeth, and he forced an explanation of the cause of her refusal, thereby evidently learning someth- ing he had not known, for the next day he w ote that however it might pain him and her he could never marry a woman who could not craclrWalnuts with her own teeth, or words to that effect: The interesting ques- tions are whether Miss Roberts can recover $5,000 from the heartless dentist who lost her ‘a husband,and whether she can also make something out of her ex-lover for refusing to marry a woman whom he had supposed to be whole. ,, NORWALK GAZETTE, PIIILIIIIEII EVE" TUESDAY IOIIIII, The Second Oldest Paper in the State.

Important Announcement. v If the experience of the present season has shown anything, it has couclusively shown that the Bottom Prices on nearly all kinds of Building Materials have been reached, and that the tendency of prices, from this time forward, will be upward. Especially in this the case with all- grades of Lumber. From the prices of mid— summer, there is already an advance of at least ten per cent. with every With an advance of three to four dollars per thousand indication of a much greater one. in lake and canal freights, and an unpre- cedented demand in the West (justified by the enormous crops) whence our supply comes it is easy to see the cause and predict the per- manence of the increase in price. For the past few years it has been my unfortunate privilege to follow the market doum ! DOWN! DOWNI but my faith in the increasing de- mand and the decreasing supply of good Pine Lumber in this country, is at length justified and this advance finds me with the largest stock of Pine, Spruce & Hemlock Lumber, and Shingles, on hand, and in process 'of ship- ment, that was ever placed in this markotby any one. , After the continual shrinkage of the past few years, I feel that I am now entitled to the advance, in addition to a fair profit upon present prices. But believing that quick sales, even with small‘profits, is better than stagnation, I have concluded toput this Lum- ber on. the Market at the present Wholesale Prices, adding simply the actual expenses of transacting business. ' This Lumber, purchased in June and July, comprises nearly two million feet of the best manufactures of Michigan pine,Northern and Eastern Spruce, two million Shingles, and nearly one million Bangor Laths. With this as abtfsis I think I may justly claim to be able to furnish the largest and best assortment of lumber in this county during the present Fall and coming Winter, and with unequal— led storage and shipping facilities, am pre- pared to fill all orders with a guarantee of satisfaction surpassed by no other dealer. I keep Only 0. G. Stenrns & Co.’s Bangor tim- ber; which is worth mono and costs more at wholesale than the Calais timber. I sell it at same price. It is clean, bright and free from grit, not being tufted either here or in Maine. I sell only Bangor Lathe which are worth more and cost more at wholesale, than any other kind. I sell them as low as the lowest. I sell only the best brands of Shingle manu- factured by the men whose names are stamp ed updn each bunch, and whose reputation, with my own, are a sufficient guarantee of the quality. I desire above all things to furnish a good articlg, and endeavor to secure that by per- sonal examination at the place of manufac- ture, before purchasing, and am always ready to warrant every thing as represented. All my I}, 1%, and 2 inch lumber,in upper grades will be surfaced twh sides to full thickness, for which no extra charge is made. I am now closing out the last invoice of the Oscar Fenn Parallel Planed Shingle—and during the coming season my stock will be of the following kinds : S. K. &. Co., rived. John MoGraw & Co., sawed, Foster, Blackman do 00., sawed, W. C. Cummings, sawed, I with Southern Rived Cedar .and California Red wood. to order.

My Lovers. BY JULIA R. O. DORE. I have four noble lovers, Young and gallant, blithe and guy, And in all the land no maiden Hath a goodlier troupe than they! And never princess, guarded By knights of high degree, Knew sweeter, purer homage Than my lovers pay to me! One of my noble lovers Is a self-poised, thoughtful man, Gravely gay. serenely earnest, Strong to do, and hold to plan! And one is sweet and sunny, Pure as crystal, true as steel, With a soul responding ever When the truth makes high appeal! And another of my lovers, Bright and (16er is he, Brave and ardent, strong and tender, And the flower of courtesie! Last of all, an eager student, Upon lofty aims intent! ' Manly force and gentle sweetness In his nature rarely blent !. But when of noble lovers All alike are dear and true, And her heart to choose refuses, Pray, what can a womun do? Ah, my sons! For this I bless ye, Even as I myself am blest, That I know not which is dearest, That 1 care not which is best! The City of Rest. Today I have been to the City of Rest, Where my loved and once living ones sleep; I went there alone, an unbidden guest, O'er the graves of my treasures to weep. No person I saw, I heard not a sound, Save the low solemn rustling of trees As they thoughtlessly waved Over many a mound, ' In the soft, gentle summer-time breeze. There are avenues wide in the Cilycf Rest, Bestrewn with the rarest flowere— In answer to many a dying request— And there, there are beautiful bowers. The inhabitants walk not those fiower-bedeck- ed ways, ,They are motionless, silent and still; Each one has if home of his own where he stays, _ ' And they tread not the city at will. The apartments are small in the City of Best, They are narrow, and short, but deep; They are large enough though, for the heart that, distress’d, , Wants room enough only to sleep. Here the earth—wearied one finds a rest that is sweet, . Undiaturbed by the dwellers there, In their silence profound, in their dark re- treat, . They are free from all sorrow and care. My mother now sleeps in the City of Best, And my father is‘sleeping there too; Oh, how fondly they loved me ere over their breast The greensward and flow’rets grew. They see not the ferm.they hear not the voice Of their wandering, sorrowing boy; But with them hereafter I hope to rejoice When grief shall be turned into joy. 0 The time, will soon come when the City 0 - Rest . Must yield up its treasures and trust, And ready to enter the Home of the Blest Shall.spring forth the forms of the just. And then, in that city which hands have not made, In all ages to come they shall dwell, Ne’er again in the cold, narrow tomb to be - laid, . Ne’er again to breathe out a “farewell." - Em. A. M. B. GRAHAM. When lhe-Song’s Gong out of Your Life. When the song's gone out of your life, That you thought would last to the end— That first sweet song of the heart, That no after days can lend— The song of the birds to the trees, The song of the wind to the flowers, The song that the heart sings low to itself When it wakes in life’s morning hours: “You can start no other song,” Not eve? tremulous note Will utter orth on the empty air, From within your aching throat. It is all in vein that you try, For the spirit of song has fled— The nightingale sings no more to the rose When lhebeautiful flowers are dead. So let silence softly fall On the bruised heart’s quivering strings. Perhaps from the loss of all you may learn 'The song that the seraph sings; A grand and glorious psalm That will tremble, and rise, and thrill And fill your breast with its grateful rest, And its lonely yearnings still. —Tranem’pt. - . Irlslr Love Song. [um “run umn nun Lm."] Ah! swan of slenderness, dove of tenderness, Jewel of joys, arise! The little red lark, like a rosy spark, Of song, to hfi sun-burst flies; But till you are risen, earth is a prison, Full of my ,captive sighs. ' Then wake pad discover to your fond lover The morn of your matchless eyes. The dawn is dark to me; hark, oh! hark to me, * Pulse of my heart, I pray, And gently gliding out of thy hiding, Dazzle me with thy day! And oh! I’ll to thee, singing, and sigh to thee, ' Passion so sweet and gay, The lark shall listen, and dewdrops glisten, Laughing on every lpray. Amen PEROIVAL GRAVEL The Tomb and the Rose.

The tomb asked of the rose: “What dost thou with the tearawhich dawn Sheds on thee every Summer morn, Thou sweetest flower that blows P" The rose asked of the tomb: “What dost thou with the treasures rare, Thou hidest deep from light and air, Until the day of doom?"
