Just within the broad veranda.
In a shady, cool retreat,
Lay our hero, Dick, reclining,‘
Ennuied, o’er come with heat.
Hark! a step upon the carpet,
“Coming here? By Jove, it’s Lu !
~Happy thought! I’ll feign a slumber,
V Just to see what she will do."
' And his eyelids then descended
O’er his laughing hazel eyes,
And with blissful expectation
There he waited for the prize.
Nearer, nearer came the footsteps,
Lightly as a fairy’s tend,
While within his wicked ambush
Richard waited for the end.
Softly they approached the sofa——
Surely he it is they seek—
And, surprised and joyed, he felt a .
Timed kiss upon his check!

Pressed him fondly to his breast,
Then, with madness gazed upo n him-—

A Piece of' Wedding Cake.
“Do you edit in here P”
The several occupants ‘of the room looked
around and discovered a young lady stand-
ing in the doorway. She nodded slightly
to the horse reporter and that individual 3e-
turned the salutation with a placid mile—and-
a-half over eight hurdles smile, whose grand-
eur of expense would alone have made it
noticeable. , _
“You are right this time, madame, he
said. “This is the exact spot where the
seething brain of the trained journalist pro-
ceeds to bubble and the lances of Thought
that pierce with uuerriug aim the brazen hel-
mets of Wrong are ever held' in couchant
poise by strong arms ready to launch them
forth at the slightest‘ signal of danger.”
“Papa doesn’t know I am up here,” said
the vision of loveliness, “but mamma does.
The very minute I told her that I was going
to see an editor she said it was the best thing
to do, but when I got right to the door I just
thought I should die." '
" “You don’t appear to be in danger of im-
mediate dissolutiou," remarked the horse re-
porter. 4
“0b, of dourse I don’t mean exactly that,”
said the young lady, “but I was awfully
'uervous, you know—I always was that way
—and when I was a- little girl papa used to
say that the only way to govern me was by
kindness.” ' _.
“Well, we’ll be gentle with you,” replied
the personal friend of Rarus. “Would you
like to read the Hawkiusvile Clarion or the
Cohoes rim... .9" pointing to a pile of ex-
changes.
“No, don’t care about it, thank you,”
was the reply,‘ ‘-You editors must‘ have a
hard time managing all the people who come
up here.” ' ‘
“There is a managing editor for that pur-
pose,” said the horse reporter.
“How nice! And do all these gentlemen
edit ?" ~ . > .
“Yes.” .
“I’m going to be married mm?” said
the young lady. _ .
“Quito ludicrous,»no doubt,” was the re-
ply. '
"And I came up here,”} she continued, “to
see if you would put a nice notice of the af-
fair iu the paper. Will you do it ?" _
“Certainly, " said the horse , reporter.
“Would you like to have it rgerred to as
“another one of those delightful events in
which the happiness of a trusting love finds
glad fruition in wedded bliss,’ or ‘the mar-
riage bells rang out merrily last- evening,
telling to the star-lit skies atoyful tale of
'love’s finaltriumph? Both these sentences
are ‘kept in type and you can have your
choice.”
“I rather like the last one best,” said the
young lady. “It is more tenderly beautiful
Don’t you think so ?”
“Yes,” replied the horse reporter, “there
is a sort of curfew-Will-not-ring-to—night tinge
to it that lays over the other one.”
“Well, then, I will take that.. And will
an editor begrouud to write it up ?”
“Certainly."
“I will send you a piece of the wedding
cake," continued the young lady.
“Do," said the horse reporter.. “There is

The Disappointed Candidate.
The candidate who got left at the County
Convention can be told by the way he grasps
your hand, embraces himself against his
gurgling emotion, and whisperingly inquir-
es:
“Did you ever hear of a case like it?”
You never did. You tell him that you
never did, and he pulls you into the doorway
and cohtinues: ‘ ‘ ‘
“I am done with politics forever 1”
“N0 1”
"Yes, I am, and with the party, too !"
“You don’t say!” ,
“Oh, but I am. This thing has satisfied
me that there is no such thing as honesty in
politics, and that a politician has no more
word than a dog. I was sold out.”
“Possible 1”
“Sold out and lied out! They used
money to beat me. They lied about me.
They played hypocrite and kuave. Here I
have served the party for nineteen long years I
and never asked for an oflice, and the minute
I decide to accept the nomination for a little
fifteen-cent position they go to work and
beat me in cOnve‘ution with a wooden-head
who doesn’t know enough to make a barrel
of pork. Corruption, sir—cor—rup-shun—and
the whole ticket will be defeated on account
of it.”
And the best of it is he takes you fora

you have the slightest idea that be packed
three or four caucuses, bought a dozen dele-
gates, told three lies to the other man's one,
and was beaten because his delegates sold
out. He takes you for an inuoceut,'aud he
grasps your hand again at parting and chok-
inglyways:

‘ giggled Mrs. Spoopeudyke,
Wanted His Waterproof.
“My dear,” said Mr. Spoopeudyke,'pulliug
_ the shams off the bed, “where is? my—my,
where is my—you know what I mean. What
did you do with it?
“Your shawl strap i” asked Mrs. Spoopen-
dyke, dropping the-baby into the crib. "Oh,
I know; your dumb bells. Is that what you
want ?" ' - ,
“ Has that shawl strap got sleeves to it ?”
demanded Mr. Sooopeudyke, rausacking the
sewing machine. “Are those dumb bells
split up-the back and torn around the collar?
You know what I want, my rubber overcoat.
Where did you put it ?" and-Mr. Spoopendyke
pulled a pile of letters out of the pigeon hole
to his wife’s desk and spilled them on the
floor. '
"Where did you have it last ?" murmured
Mrs. Spoopendyke, with her finger in her
mouth and consternation in her eye.
"Had it on i” growled Mr. Spoopendyke
“Where’d'ye s’posc I had it! Think I had it
for lunch ? Don’t you know where the mess-
ly thing's - gone to? Spry around now - and
find it ! Take your finger out'of your mouth;
I don't suppose it's in there! Get that coat
before it clears up, will we ?” and Mr. Spoop-
eudyke shook the clock and then pecped into
the mantel vases. -
“I don’t believe it’s going to rain much
anyway,” faltered Mrs. Spoopeudyke, who i
couldn’t remember having seen the coat for
a month. “When it looks like this it’s al-
ways going to sunshine,” and she followed
him around the,room in a flutter of appre-
hension.
“Of course it is !” snorted Mr. Spoopen-
dyke. “Things are going to do just. what
you tell ’em to. If you had a lot of tin fig-
ures iu frout and a streak of mercury up
your spine, you’d only need a sheet iron-
case and awire-haudle to be a barometer!
-If you’ll look along your measlyinformation
sheet the weather, p’raps you’ll find that
overcoat at the other e‘nd of it? Where’o
that coat ? Going tolet me stand here and
soak while the maths pic-hie that coat into
a shad net? Take me by the elbow and
lead me to the coat 1” and Mr. Spoopeudyke
tipped the sofa over so that he could see
under it, and then slapped a plaster bust of
Minerva against the ‘wall, under the impres-
sion that the coat might have crawled into
her car.
“It’s the strangest thing in the w rld !"
hysterically.
“Are-you sure you were it home l’”
“If I didn’t how.’d it get home,”roared Mr.
Spoopendyke, putting his hands on his knees
and grinning in his wife's face. “S’pose it
hired a hack and drove home? Oh, no!
I didn’t wear it home. The last I saw of it
it had its hat over its ear and a female
waterproof on its arm, piking up Fulton“
street as happy as an. alderman's funeral!
What’rc ye standing there for? Got ‘ some
indistinct notion that the dad gasted cost has
gone to get shaved. havn’t ye ? Who’d ye
give it to ? Been endowing a meta-physical
chair in some kind of an old woman’s home
with it, havn't ye? Where’s the coat P
Develop the coat before I vitiatc the insur-
ance!” and Mr. Spoopeudyke, kicked his
wife’s work-basket across the room and
rammed his arm to the shoulder up the chim-
uey.
“Do you remember where you were it
last i” asked Mrs. _Spoopendyke, suddenly
becoming calm and analytical. '
“I wore it bu my back!” protested Mr.
Spoopendyke, who didn’t remember whether
he had taken it to church or to a hospital.
“Maybe you’re under the impressio that I
tied it to a stick and wheeled it along on the
buttons! On my back, I tellye! On this
particular back i" . an r. Spoopeudyke
almost broke his arm porn ing out the at-
traction rcferred to: “Most folks fit up their
rubber overcoats with. a bent wire and a
focus, and wear 'em for spectacles, but I
hadn’t time; so I wore it on my back!
Bring forth the coat ?" yelled Mr. Spoopen-
dyke, spinning arouqd like a top. “Fetch
out the measly coat before the proprietor of
these premises makes up his mind whether
he’ll build a new house here or mortgage the
lot i" . ’ r .
“You were it the last day it rained, and
when it cleared off in the afternoon-I noticed
that you had on your spring overcoat,” said
Mrs. Spoopeudyke quiety. - .
“Great head!” gruuted Mr. Spoopendyke,
beginning to feel uncomfortable, and won-
dering how it was coming out. “With your
perceptive faculties and metersldgical edu-
cation, you only need on more leg and a clear
night to be a dod gasted street telescope at ten
cents a peep! What of it! ’Spose I did
wears spring iovercoat! It's 'spring ain’t
it 1”
"And I don’t know," continued Mrs.
Spoepeudyke, “but I think you had it'ou over
your waterproof. If you’ll look, you may
fludithe rubber coat inside of the other one'
new." . -
Mr. Spoopendyke growled and snorted the
way to the closet, like a foghorn, and found
things as his wife had predicted. -
“Smart, ain't yel” he grumbled, as be
hauled out the waterproof. "Great powers
of inductive reasoning! Someday I’m going
to fit you up with a stiff neck and a pot of
beans and start a Concord School of Phioso-
phy with you.” ' ’ '
And with this threat Mr. Spoopendyke
threw the coat over the arm, and all the way
to Coney Island entertained his friend Speck-
lewottle with a description of his habits of
order, “which are so perfect, air, that I could
put myvthumb on anything I wanted, sir—if
my wife would only let things alone!”—

on the 7th inst., Frederick Bennett was
tried at Greenfield Hill, Fairfleld' county, 'fog
violating the 'game law. The case grew out
of the shooting of a tame crow owned by
Robbert Wilson, of Fairfleld. Mr. Bennett.
while shooting, saw a crow'flyiug overhim
and it not having any marks to designate it'
from other crows, he’did what all sportsmen
dag—if tney can—shot and killed it. Mr.
Wilson cailed_on Mr. Bennett the next day
and demand the sum of $25 for the‘ luxury
of {shooting crow. Mr. Bennett declined
to pay, Whereupon Mr. Wilson placed the
matter in the hands of‘ a. lawyer, who noti-
fied Bennett that he must settle. The latter
again refused, by advice of counsel, and
hence the prosecution for violation of law.
The celirt dismissed the ' case and held that
the state had failed to make out any satis-
factory case against the accused, and that it
appeared the work of’ malice rather than a,
desire to 'protect the game." That crews
are game is an idea peculiar to Fairfield
county.

Senator Piatt’s Mountain Re-
treat.
ers. Piatt herself, who does everything
well that she undertakes, is a fine rower,
and goes out every fair day in her best for
miles on the beautiful lake. From afar you
can discern her natty little craft, in whose
center she sits industriously wielding the
bright, cherry-wood cars, with a big red bow
on her mountain hat' like an oriflamme. and
a dark blue flannel dress,-with short kilted
skirt, best of all costumes for camping and
climbing. As for the Senator, he judiciously
says‘that a colored flannel shirt and a pair
ofgcool pautaloous are the only proper wear
for anAmericau citizen in hot weather, and
the Senate half so much if‘they would let
a mah attend them dressed in that sensible
fashion; particularly if, furthermore, he
might go down stairs to the restaurant and
cook his own lunch in true camp fashion
during the dull speeches. The Senator is an
epicure in game cooking, and demonstrated
hisculinary skill by preparing the family
breakfast one morning of my visit, when
the guides had started out at daylight deer-
huntiug. Every dish, from broiled chicken
to griddle cakes, was his own concocting,
and each was delicious. The Senator’s wife
was Miss Bull, of Towauds, Pa., and he
found her while he was; teaching school
there in his youth. Her mother has resided,
with them during the later years of her?
widowhood, and brightens their yearly so-
jouru in the mountains with an unwanted
element in camp life—the presence of genial.
and vigorous age. Few campers-out bring
female servants with them. Besides other
incompatibilities, it would be a drawback to.
that simplicity which is the ’soul of wilder-
ness life. ‘The Senator’s camp is eleven
miles from the head of - the lake, and is situ-
ated with equalrefereuce to beauty, health.-
fuluess, and accessibility to good hunting.
and fishing. For .five seasons they have
camped on this spot, having previously
tried several locations during the seven-
teen summers they have spent in the moun-
tains. ,
Their two story log-cottage is as pretty a
wilderness home as one could desire. It
stands close by tho lakeside, and in the edge
of a pine foresbrich in balsamic odors. It
is of round sprucelogs, chiuked in with
mass, audits balcony railings vital wood;
The upright posts are painted white, as are
also the window casings. There are three
’grouud rooms and two chambers. The din-
ing room is in a broad tent in the rear, the
kitchen is in another, the guides’ quarters’
in a third, while the “bedroom,” of Mr.
James Platt, the Senator’s son, is .a low.
sloping roofed “shanty” tent, strewn, as to
its floor, with hemlock boughs, and the guest
chamber for male visitors is another similar
tents few rods distant. The sitting-room
and its two adjacent bedrooms are furnished
with simplicity, but great comfort, and
marks of Mrs. Platt’s artistic, taste are cv-
erywhere visible in draperies and rustic
conveniences. An ample wood stove is in
the sitting-room, and there are few evenings
even in midsummer, when a little fire is not
comfortable. A [stuffed desr’s head and
neck occupy a commanding position against
the wall. The Senator patronize; the sit-
ting-room at intervals, but he luxuriates 'ou
the piazza, and to see him seated in his easy
chair, with a cigar in his mouth and his eyes
ranging over the beauties ineflable of lake
and mountain, or leisurely reading up home
papers which come to him by mail in pla-.
toons four times a week, you would not soon
tire looking at such a.picture of royal con-
tent. _ .Hislake and mountain view is one.
of the finest in all this great park, and he
enjoys it with a keen artistic appreciation.
His health, which was so precarious
last year and part of the year. previous,
owing to a fall from a bridge which had
injured some of his ribs, leaving abscesses
in the healing, is now fully recovered and
he attributes it in a large measure to the
mountain air. He goes on trout fishing
tramps in the season, and deer-hunting dur-
iugthe favorite mouth of September. The
campfire at night, is his especial delight.
With one of the guides to roll the huge logs
into place, he himself kindles it in front of
one of the slapping tents above mentioned,
and the family and guests gather around it
and talk till bed time—Letter to the Philg-

A Humor: Mvsrnar.—0n.Sunday last,
Levi Beers discovered a human skeleton ly-
ing in the mud: The skull was severed-from
the body and lying at little distance from it.
Laced shoes enclosed the feet or rather bones
of the feet,for their was no flesh whatever
on the skeleton. and portions of a cost,
,much rotten, as if exposed for along time to
the weather, covered", the chest, shoulders
and arms. Near by was. found the remnant
ofastraw hat, about twenty-five cents in
money, and arazor. An inquest was held
yesterday, and the verdict rendered was that
the unknown man probably come to his
death by suicide. Dr. Hazard, who exams
iued the case, said that the skeleton was
that of a man about thirty years of age and
nearly six feet in height, and that it had
- probably been exposed to- the. action of the,
weather and the ravages of animals and
birds ‘from two to three years. The rem-I
ments of the cost, but suspenders and shoes
are now in the possession of the undertaker,
and yxton, William Birden, Senior, .and
will be held by him for identification.
There are all sorts of rumors afloat, :ss‘is
usual in such cases, but even the most plau-
sible of them is a mere matter of speculation.
At first it was thought that it was the re-
mains of the boy, Cornelius Baldwin, who
suddenly disappeared from town on the 0th
of July last; but the size of the skeleton
and the clothes found, put it beyond cou-
trovorsy that it could be him. Both the boy's
father and the gentleman with whom he lived
at the time of his disappearance, said that it
was not Cornelius. The aflair remains a
mystery. ' ,

Woman's Dress—The Corset.
The temptation to tight-lacing is not so.
great as formerly, now that corsets are fitted
by measure, and then fastened in front with:
steel hooks. But almost every cersct-wearer
would find herth expanding in size,
should she leave off the corset, and wear
really loose clothing. The corset-steel is one
of the worst features. The pressure upon
the stomach, results in weakness and general
invalidism. Many corset-wearers imagine
that the corset is a ~real support to-the
strength, because they feel ‘ “all . gone’
without it. This only'shows how much
mischief the corset has already done. Their
feelings are all unnatural. The muscles of
the waist audebdomeu have lost their native
power through confinement. If the toggery
worn in the shape of basques and skirts,
with bands and weights, oppresses and tor-
ments her when the corsets is removed, the
toggery‘shOuld certainlybe reformed, and
the muscles givena chance to recover their
lost :power. Physicians have always can.
damned the corset as prejudice! to health;
and the best-artists have condemned it as
distorting womans natural form,snd detri-
mental to real grace and beauty. But there
is little hepe 'of woman’s emancipation in
large number, ”from these bonds, so long as
closely fitted waists, and especially basques

The Indians of Alaska.
The number of aborigines in Alaska is
variously estimated from 80,000 to 50,000.
'With regard to those in the -interi0r there is
very meagre accurate knowledge, The ob-
stacles in the way of a thorough understood-

American possessions, ‘audthe number and

from the cost of outfitting an exploring party

incident to such an undertaking. In their
handiwork, especially as exhibited by carv-
ings in wood, stone and slate, their ornaments
and shapely canoes, they display unlocked

or hideously besmearei faces, were to be
seen. From a condition offensive to the
nostrils and this scanty mode of dress there
are various stages of approach to cleanliness

deed, makea very presentable appearance.
Sometimes Indians were observed affection-
ately fondling their children, and the men
often carrying their offspring: in their arms

brethren. The 'women generally do the.

but less honest white trafilker. These ludi-
aus are industrious, willingly embracing op

reason of liquor-sud contact with depraved
whites preventing their.reclamation from

Alsrhetfcs in the Kitchen.
In these days when we hear so much
twaddle about the aesthetic — a good deal of
it by people who have but a faint idea of-tho
meaning of matheticism --we read cou-
stautly of msthetie dresses, hats, homes and
house furniture,‘of aesthetic parlors and las-
thetlc bedrooms, but I never yet read of an
aesthetic kitchen, although I really saw such
an one the other day. can a kitchen be
really aesthetic? you \ssk, with visions of
heated ranges, grease, griddies, iron pots
and dish-pans dancing before your eyes.
Listen. and you shall judge for yourself.
Calling the other day upon a lady friend
who lives in a charming suite of rooms, cen-
trally located, I was invited to look into her
kitchen, which she has just furnished as a
comfortable addition to her pleasant quar-
ters. .
“ You see,” said the lady, as she ushered
emulate the apartments, “ we have tried all
ways of living, and until now we were never.
satisfied. Boarding in the ordinary wayia
monotonous and unsatisfactory; going out
to oue’s meals, particularly in bad weather,
is unhomsllke and , dreary as possible ;
while caterers — whom I have tried without
number — have a vile habit of bringing the
meals half cold, audthey are also unpuuc-
tual to a degree that is exasperating. House-
keeping iu your own heme is pleasant of
course. but as one never feels settled in a
rented house. I resolved to go to light house-
keeping until I could move uuder my own
In the meantime I believe I have
solved the problem of how to live comfort-
ably with little work and no worry of ser-
vants. Within a stone's throw of the best
markets, groceries, dairies, etc., it is easy to
have supplies sent often and marketing is
little trouble; my rooms aie kept in order
by the maid servant, who will also for a
small compensation wash dishes for me when
I desire it. The cooking I do myselffiaud
my husband is delighted.’ Say. is not my
kitchen pretty !" . . '
It was, indeed, prettier than I ever imag-
ined a kitchen could be made. Pretty chins
was displayed on shelves. brackets, and in a
tiny corner cupboard; Japanese scrolls, fans
and plates hung upon the walls, and there
was nothing about the room suggestive 'of
cooking except an innocent-looking little
kerosene oil stove,. which stood by itself
on a box curtaiued with chintz, bearing-
printed figures from the opera of “ Pa-
tience" in soft, alsthetic colors. A break-
fast table stood at one-side of the room—
whlch was little larger thong hall bedroom
—a pretty dressing case occupied one corner,
a washstaud stood in the other, and the only
remaining corner was filled by a small ward-
robe. , . _
“ But where do you keep things ? Where
are your kitchen utensils—your kettles, tins
and broilers?" . '
With a smile my friend pulled aside the
curtain which hung below the oil stove, and
there in a box were all the utensils necessary
in cooking. Further investigation revealed
the fact that the dressng case was only used
to hold groceries, while thewashstsud cou-
ce'sled the tin dishbasin, soap, etc. Market,
baskets, tea towels, work aprons, and the
like were stowed away in the wardrobe.

She beckoned me to the window, where a
basket hung by a long rope, reaching clear

' Whiskey Democracy.
The‘ strength of the liquor. interest has
been' shown in Ohio! But the strength of
the opposition to that interest has not been
shown. In the midst of the rejoiciugs with
which the liquor sellers and dealers hail
their tremenduous victory, the thought
arises, “ Why this joy, if there was no
“reason to fear that the opposition, if ever
“concentrated. prove‘ tons a‘ majority?
“Why were $300,000. spent. more or less;
“ why were exertions beyond all precedent
“ made, in an election at which nothing was
“directly at stake, unless to frighten the
“politicians of both parties into n refusal to
“ permit the people to vote upon the liquor
“ question directly ?" _ Senator Sherman was
right in this; nothing could be accomplished
directly,either for or against theliquor interest
by the election or defeat of any one of the
candidates this year., The State ofllcers to
be chosen had no power to afi'ect the result,
nor the members of Congress ; there was no
Legislature elected this year, and the ulti-'
mate decision of the question could not be
affected in any way by any vote cast this
year, except by the moral influence of a dis-
play of power. Was there real need to
spend so much and work so hard in order to
alarm the politicians? If men know that
they can win when the real struggle comes,
do they ever waste so much force in a more
noisy! demonstration ? '
There is but one possible conclusion. if we
think of action in the State of Ohio only.
That conclusion is that the liquor interest
knows it is in a minority, and would be out-
voted one straight. vote for or against it.
Therefore this readiness to spend heavily in
order to prevent such a vote. ‘
The Prohibitionists, reason from the same
couvictiOu. They want to force the-Repub-
lican part to submit a prohibitory amend-
ment to people. This they want be-
cause they believe such an amendment
would prevail. They refuse to give any aid
to the Republican party until itls ready to
submit the question to the people. Because
it was not united in opinion, nor ready for
that course,- their strength was not shown.‘
A shrewd leaderls reported as saying that
this defeatlwould put back any reform’teu
years. Probably he reasoned that politicians
would now be. afraid of the liquor intérest,
and that the Republican leaders would be"
indignant because the Prohibitionists had re-
fused aid. But the Republican-’politiciaua
do not seem to hare anything lefttolose.
They have aroused all the opposition that
they 'could'have aroused by any course.
H There is nothing left for them, except com-
plete surrender'to the demands of the liquor
interest, or such a course as will enlist the
hearty and united approval of temperance
voters. " , --
Perhaps they may reach a conclusion more
easily, if *they reflect upon .two or thme facts.
After the victory, the liquor_associat'.ou of
Ohio telegraphed to New York to do like-
wise. Why? Have we any immediate ex-
thia State? Again the liquor associatiouls-
bored mightily for the election of Demo-
cratic Congressmen, as well'as for Demo-
cratic State ofiicers. What have Congress.
men to do with prohibitory action in'tlle
States? But the Democraticg'ainon mem-
bers of Congress appears to be quite as g.eat
as on tho Stote‘ ticket. One more fact ;\ the.
Democrats pioposed. at the last session of
Congress, to repeal all taxes on whisky and
beer. They almost unitedly supported
the movement, while the Republicans de-
fasted it. Has the liquor interest made an.
alliance with the Democratic party for Na-
tional purposes? A‘ few concerns have on
hand 80,000,000 gallons of whiskey. The
profit, if the tax could be repealed, would
enable them 'to pay a lvcryg large sum ton. _
campaign fund. _ p . ,
Tho first step in such a rebound would be to
secure the election of Congressmgn favorable
to a ‘ repeal of the taxes or; liquor. That
done, 'by defeating the Republicon party in
afew great-States, everything will be ready

"The Little Womgil; a . n.
Don’t talk to me of Olympus’ maids. ,,
“Diviuely tall and fair”-
Of Cleopatra’s imperial form,’
0r J uno’s stately air.
Those mighty domes, with redoubled names,
May crst_havc held their sway;
'Tis the little woman—bless her heart!
Who rules the world to day:
Willi her willful, wiusomc way,
Her artful, artlcss smiles——
Her hairy grace, and her fairy face—
Her wisdom, wit and wiles,
I She mocks the pride and she sways the
strength,
She bonds the will of man,
S As only such a despotic elf—
A little woman—can.
‘ Though her pathway may lead thro’ the
' darkest ways, _.
She always finds a light:
Though her eyes be dazzled by Fortune's
rays, .
She’s sure‘to see aright: .
Though her wisdom be of ' no special school,
Her logic, “just because"— -
The first has settled? a kingdom’s fate,
The last has made its laws.
I ’Tis the little wbhlku that goes ahead I
When men would lag behind,
i The little woman who sees her chance
And always knows her mind—
Who can slyly smile as she takes the oath
To honor, love, obey, I ' \
I And mentally add the saving clause!|
In a little woman's way!
Would the diamond seem such a perfect gem
If it measured one foot round 1’
Would the rose-leaf yield such a sweet per-
fume ‘
If it covered yards of ground?
WOuld the dew-drops seem so clear and pure
If dew like rain should fall?
Or the little woman be half so great
If she were six feet tall ?
o
’Tis the hand assoft as the nestling bird ,
That grips the grip of steel:
’Tis the voice as low as the _summer wind
That rules without appeal;
And the warrior, scholar, the saint and sage,
May fight and plan and pray, ’
The world will wag till the end of time
In the little woman’s way.
The Grave-Yard At Sippican,
Come to this spot among the rocks and pines
This hidden acre . thou hadst ne’er beheld
Unless persuaded by a poet’s lines, . . -
Or by the circumstance of deathcompell-
ed.
The summer suns pour down their fervid
h'eat ' '
On stunted herbage and a sterile soil;
Thea terms of winter hual their'stiuging sleet
And the hurt trees in agony recoil.
These modest monuments no great names
bear ; .
Thoutread'st not, traveler, on a hero here;
Yet these were strong to do and brave to'
dare, ‘
And filled their places on the busy sphere.
~
They and the sea were surely kith and kin
And o’er these graves, although they never
stop,
j Marauding sea-fogs that come driving in,
A tribute from their salty plunder drop.
Near this lone nook their labor was not
done: '
Through calms {and’ storms, from port to
port they ran;
-Or"fio'ii’the tropic to the frozen zone
They sought and slaughtered the leyiathau.
Their virtues or their vices who shall tell, ‘~
Or. what their harbor since life’s/sails are
furled!
Remote from strife and tumult they sleep
well '
“Here at the quaint limit of the world."
Such simple histori'es deep lessons teach,—
Who seeketh wisdom let him pause and
learn—
That in His plan God hath remembered each
And each He satisfieth in his turn:
That death, relentless, still is not unkind,
The vexed, and weary to compel to rest;
Nor mother earth in her afiectlon blind
To call her crying Ehildren to her breas’t.
—Edward ”N. Pomroy, m‘ the November
Contour.

death, wealth and family avail not; but his
good deeds have gone beforehim to make his
pathway peace. ‘
Decision and promptitude, and the
sometimes a man may err for want of no
dehbratlon, will in the long run more often
couduce to success than a slow judgment
that comes too late. "
_ Scott’s Wrecking Company of New Lon-
don took to Bridgeport, Monday, about
eighty-five tons of iron taken. from gthe
schooner Houghtou, which ran ashore a few
days ago off Stamford, while on her trip to
Bridgeport from New York. .
Mind is progressive ever grasping new
thoughts and searching out the mysteries
which other made have failed to solve. Each
,succeediug‘geueratiou thus shares its store of
knowledge with those following, which, with
‘the benefit of others, search on a higherplain
and discover new laws and relations hitherto
unknown.
A Washingtoncorrespondeut of the Hart-
ford Times relates the following: “I was
going through the basement of a public build-
ing several days since when an ofiicial di-
rected my attention {0 an old man who is
employed looking after the engine that runs
the elevator. “That man," said he,"‘once
was prominent as a member of tho house of
representatives. Afterward he was-lieuten- .
ant governor of his state. Then hewas re-
turned to Congress. During th'ecwar no
member did. more to get large appropria-
tions for soldiers, and he had probably'more
connection than any other one mau'with the
present internal revenue laws and? ihe re-
pealed income tax laws. ..He could'have
made millions when the tax was putupon
whisky, but he did not, for he wasiu the
secret. To shorten the thing up, hel'drank
himself out of Congress and all thé‘way
down to this cellar. Here hereceiva $18
per month as a substitute for the regular en-
gineer. He is allowed to helpin thebase-
ment herei” ‘ ‘
Rev. Hugh Montgomery, of Norwich,
talking on “The Quickest Way to Prohibi-
tion,” says that there is no need of a new
party and that the greatest temperance re-
sults will be achieved if the prohibitiouists
will stay in their own parties and work for
clean men.
TheAdepartmeut of agriculture estimates
the out crop at 480,000,000 bushels; the rye
.crop at 20,000,000 bushels; the barley crop
at 45,000,000 bushels. There is a good pm
act for buckwheat; and a yield of about
$0,000,000 bushels of potatoes is anticipat-

A peat bed luis been discovered in Ston-
iugtonharbor while dredging, and on Mon-
day last large limbs of walnut trees full of
walnuts in an excellent state of preservation
were brought up by the buckets. It is sup-
posed that the trees were blown into the

“And now,-in conclusion," said William
Penn, "for time flies and money is twelve
pu' ce:;t., I’ll tell thee what I’ll do with thee.
We did‘nt come here to rob thee, but if thee '
has any land thee wants to sell, I’ll make thee
an offer as square as a horse trade. I don't
care to buy anyhow, and don't want to beat
thee out of a foot of ground. but ifthee is aux-
ious to sell, I’ll give, right here, cash and
goods right down on the counter, 8500 for
the state of Pennsylvania, with all the dips,
spurs, angles, leads, sinncsities, stock, good-
will, fixtures, subscription and mailing list,
