That Awful Tom.
BY JENNIE K. LUDLUM.
"Now, Tom, do, like a good fellOW.
come up and direct this card for my
trunk!" said Nell Rivers to her brother.
One morning in early summer. “9 she a!“
in the midst of a pile of dainty 15009 “mi
muslins, drawing material and novels;
her brown hair curling in wild disorder
low down on her white forehead which
forehead was all puckered in a frown.
“Bother the girls I" exclaimed Tom, en-
tering the room with Ilis hat pushed on
the extreme end of his head, his cravat-
bow under one ear; one cuff off, the other
wrong side before. “\Vhat do you want
now, Nell f” -
“Don't be cross, Tom! And please
take off your hat entirely, pull your cru-
vat around, and—where is your other
cuff?" and Nell dropped her hands in her
lap, her hazel eyes wide open in pretended
horror while the dimples deepened ill her
cheeks.
“Practice what yen preach, Nell; and
go comb your hair, for it is on end all
over!" and Tom began to whistle, thrust-
ing hands deep in his pockets.
“But do direct that card, Tom. I’m in
an awful hurry! Thlit trunk over there
by you is.all ready but the card; but this
one I mun pick sometime within half-an-
hour. How it's to be done is more than I
know, for the train starts at two, and its
almost twelvc now. Dear, dear! I wish
you were going to Seaview with me, Torn,
even if you are an awful fellow for care-
lcssness!” and. Neil’s eyes were earnest
though her lips were smiling.
" How complimentary you are, s‘sl
But then I'm used to being snubbed by
my own family ! No prophet is honored
ill his native country, you know; so I’m
growing resigned I” and with a deep sign
Tom took a cigar from his pocket and
fumbled around for a match.
“For goodness sake, Tom, don’t smoke
in here! You will have my dress full of
it!"
“Then they’ll know you’ve got a big
brother to protect you, my dear. So
don’t fret, Nell; but hand over the card
and I’ll wade into the ink ?"
“0h, Tom I” cried Nell, tumbling a lot
of books out of her lap to find the card.
“Why will you use such expressions?”
“Because I’m only Tom, I suppose!“
he answered rather bitterly.
“Oh, my big brother!” and repentant
Nell was on her feet with her arms around
his neck, in an instant. “Forgive me,
Tom! I know I’m cross, but its such a
bother to get ready to go on my usual va-
cation trip to some unheard of and un.
known place in a wilderness by the sea,
that—" . .
“For pity's sake, hold on, Neil, or you’ll
bust!" cried Tom, laughing and putting
his arm around her. “Come, give me the
card and we’ll be‘ready in no time !" The
carriage wil be at the door at one o'clock,
and you are not yet nearly ready. I
never allow lazy girls around me. Hurry,
Nell!"
Two hours afterwards the brother and
sister stood on the depot platform of the
bustling little city of Bolton, watching
the swift train rushing towards them.
“Don’t forget your promise to write me
all about your journey, Nell," said Tom,
pushing his way through a crowd of por-
ters and passengers also waiting for the
train.
“Of course I’ll not forget. Good bye,
Tom, dear. Take good care of yourself;
and if you get tired of studying those
dreadful books on medicine, just come out
to the seashore and see me! Will you?
Did you write the address on my trunk
all right? There must be nice fishing
there, Tom. I wish you were going!"
Tom laughed.
“Its well you're only talking to me,
Nell! Did you mean there is good fishing
in your trunk? Nice place that is to keep
fish, that is. Your invitation is very
tempting, but I’ll stick to the medics
books, thank you! Yes, the address is
all right. Hurry, dcar, or you will be
left! Goodbye: and come back rosy as >
can be I"
"Good-bye. Go and sec Lil Rodney, if
you got a chance, and tell her I want her
to write—3’ ‘
But the rest was lost in the shrill Whis-
tle of the locomotive; and Tom Rivers
stood on the platform of the station,
watching the flutter of her handkerchief.
"Now for a steady settling down to
study!” he said to himself, as he turned
the horses towards home again. “I’m
glad Nell went away, for she-was getting
thin and pale. But the salt sea air will
bring her around all (right, and make her
forget there ever was such a thing as
teaching stupid girls to drum on the pi-
ano.”
Nell and Tom Rivers Were orphans-
Their parents had left them quite well off
in regard to money matters; but Nell was
independent, and insisted on using her
musical talent for some good. So she had
found several girls who were anxious to
be taught that art, and were willing to pay
well for it, too. Every summer, howev-
er, she went awsy to the seaside or moun-
tains, she was not strong, and the change
always agreed with her so well as to send
her home with bright eyes, and dimpled,
rosy, sun—browned cheeks. and lips run-
ning over with laughter which seemed to
have stolen from the winds and waves.
Tom had a taste for medicine, so he
cr’s; and really learned very quickly for
all his reckless, idle looks.
“But you’ll have to be more careful,-
my boy," the old doctor often told him ;
“or some of these fine days, you will be
killing off your patients fast.”
Now, while I have been introducing
these two young people to my readers, the
train which borc Nell away from her
homc,had been rushing on throughval;
leys, between hills and over bridges; the
shrill whistle giving forth its warning
every now and then.
On it went, for two hours, Nell lost in
admiration for the beautiful sceneryi
through which they sped. It was a’
strange place to which she was going; she-
and Tom had gone there only the weeki
before and engaged three pretty rooms in
a cottage close by the shore, where she
could hear the waves roar and tumble over
the rocks and funds.
It Was a small place. but she liked
small, quiet places where she could just
rest and enjoy the beautiful, changeable
world spread out around her. In Sea
view. where she was going, there was but
one small hotelsi'swhere not more than a
dozen boarders had been engaged—so
Neil‘s new landlady had told them when
when they went to see her rooms.
On rushed the train. And at last, just
as Nell was beginning to yawn and feel it
was a tiresome trip, they thundered into
the station. ' '
Only two passengers alighted. They
were our heroine and a gentleman, who
descended from the smoking car. Then
the whistle blew, brakes were let go, and
the long train curved on like a serpent.
Nell went up to a man who appeared to
be a porter. “Will you have my trunks
sent to Waverley Cottage as soon as possi-
ble, please ‘1" she asked.
“Yes, miss. What’s the name 7'? look-
ing curiously at her. ‘ '
“Nell Rivers,” she answered; her eyes
Volume LXXXIII.
The gentleman who had alighted, also
came up at that minute, an amused look
in his blue eyes. “Please send my trunks,
marked—" she did not catch the name—
“up to Scaview House directly." -
Then they left the depot, she going up
the dusty white road, towards the pretty
cottage by the sea; he across the broad
stretch of sand, between the station and
hotel.
“She’s a pretty little girl, anyway I" he
thought, biting his fair moustache, absent-
ly. ondcr if she’ll stay all summer?
I'll get somebody to introduce us."
The introduction came in a way he did
not expect. - -
His trunks were sent to the hotel, and
taken to his rooms, when he immediately
proceeded to open and unpack them.
Suddenly he paused with an exclamation
of astonishment.
“Hello! What the deuce! These are
not my things, or else Rose has been play.
ing ll trick on me! Incvcr put in this
portfolio of sketches, nor yet this volume
of Longfellow’s poems. And, by Jove!
here’s a photograph of Tom Rivers, as
true as I'm alive! Hurrah! I have it!
This trunk must belong to the girl with
tke brown eyes, who ordered her trunks
sent to ‘Nell Rivers.’ 1 was amused at
the time, because our names and initials
were tlle same. That stupid porter has
sent me her trunk. Let's see! No, that's
‘Ncll Rivers’ as plain as the nose on my
face. But its Tom's handwriting, and he
was always horribly careless at college.
He must have made the mistake ; but I’ll
wait and sec !"
And the very dishonorable gentleman
sat flat on the floor, the sketches from the
portfolio spread out on his knees.
“J ove I she draws prettily if they‘re
hcl’s. But how did my name come on the
trunk? That’s what puzzles me.”
’While in one of the rooms in Waverly
Cottage, Nell stood staring blankly at a
pair of decidedly masculine slippers she
held in her hands.
“For mercy’s sake! where did these
come from? And, oh, my goodness!
Here are pants and coats. What on earth
does it mean? Has that awful Tom been
playing a trick on me? Have I got
somebody else’strunk? No,—‘N, Rivers'
is on it plain enough. though I declare it
don’t look like Tom’s handwriting!
What shall I do? Write or telegraph to
Tom, I suppose. and find out in that way.
He’s awful. I know ; but I don’t belich
he’d do such a mean thing as that."
So, putting the articles carefully back
in the trunk, she donned her hat and went
down stairs. ,
“Mrs. Black, is there anyone in this
place, with a name like mine?” she asked,
pausing at the kitchen door.
“Bless me, Miss Rivers! I don’t know
of anyone. Why 7" eager for any sort of
news. ,
“I was seized with a curiosity to know.
Thank you. No, I won’t go in, for I’ve
just started out for a walk. Isn't it beau—
tiful down by the sea f”
And having warded off the landlady’s
curiosity, Nell went slowly out of sight,
when she hurried ahead to the depot.
Soon afterwards Tom Rivers deep in
the mysteries of one of his books, was
startled by receiving a telegram.
Tearing it open quickly, he read:
“Where’s my smallest trunk ? Have
someone clsc’s. How did you direct
mine iJ NEm. ”
"Great ducks! What have I done
now ? I’m sure I addresrxed them all
right.” And bewildered Tom threw
down his book, rang the bell impatiently,
and when it was answered, ordered his
horse saddled directly. Teen, cramming
the telegram into his pocket, and snatch—
ing a hat jrom the stand, was soon flying
down the street tOWards the telegraph of.
flee. ,
Nell had waited at the depot, for she
knew her brother would reply immediate-
ly. So, when the answer was flashed
back over the wires——
“Both. trunks directed ‘Nell Rivers,”—
She sent back the message that—-
“Some mistake. ‘N. Rivers’ on oneof
mine. Full of things for a gentleman."
Back came the reply in the form of a
question—
“Is Neil Rivers there?"
“'Neil Rivers,” Nell repeated in sun
prise. “Why, hc'was Tom’s chum at col-
lege. I wonder—”
The operator came to her aid.
“There is a Mr. Neil Rivers at the ho-
tel,” he said, gettinginterest-ed. “I knoyv.
because of some messages like these, not
long ago. ” '
“Oh, thank you I” Nell said.
answer went on to Tom :—
“Yes' Come and help me."
However, there was no train due until
four o’clock the next afternoon; so Nell
had to wait as patiently as possible.
The next morning when Nell went
down to the shore, she was met by the
gentleman 'who had come on the train
with her.
“Good morning," he said, politely, but
with such a gleam of fun and laughter on
his face that Nell blushed. “You are
Miss Nell Rivers, I believe; 'and I have
stolen your trunk, though it had my
name on it. Your brother telegraphed to
.me last night. to return your property
Without having any more trouble about
it."
“I give you my word, Miss .Rivers, I
didn't mean to steal your trunk; but if I
have—Where is mine ?”
Nell laughed merrily.
“0b, Mr. Rivers—you are Mr. Rivers,
aren’t you ?—it is all the fault of that aw-
ful brother of mine. You may have your
trunk when you like."
“And you will agree to forgive if not
forget I?” asked Mr. Rivers, holding out
his hand, with a smile.
“Oh, yes,” she said; “But I hope—'
and then she burst out laughing again. .
Mr. Rivers exerted himself to he pleas-
ant, and long before Tom arrived to set
things right, she decided she liked him
ever so much if he did tumble the things
upside down in her trunk.
It turned out that Tom had put an “i”
in place of the first "I" in her name ; and
it certainly was “Neil Rivers."
Tom was very sorry for all the trouble
his carelessness had caused, but Nell said
she would forgive him if it would break
him of his thoughtlessncss, and Neil said
he was glad it happened, for, otherwise
he would not have known her. And they
all laughed gaily. ‘
That was the way awful Tom began it.
He ended , it by going to their wedding a
year later. -

Simsbury.
Among the earlier towns settled in this
State was Simsbury, the center of which
is about eleven miles northwesterly, from
the City of Hartford. and 42 miles from
New Haven, with a present population
of rather more than 2,000.
The "New Haven & North Hampton"
and the “Hartford & Connecticut West-
ern” railroads have stations here. The
“Hartford 85 Connecticut Western" line-
being a loop, which was necessary in
consequence of the character of the sur-
face of the country, which necessity sc-
cured to the inhabitants railroad facilities
to the four principal points r-fé the com-
pass. The plot of land which now com-
prises all of Simsbury, and portions of the
towns of “Granby, Avon and Bloomfield”
was purchased from the “Massacoc”
Indians, and was first named by the pur-
chasers “Massacoc.” The purchase was
made ill 1636, but the land was not culti-
vated until the year 1653, and the perma-
nent settlement made in 1664, and in_
1667 the first grant or division of the
lands was recorded. Among the names
of those to whom grants were then and
soon after made, are found those of G“:
lette, Wilpqxson, Case, Pettibone, Phelps,
Bisscll', rind Holcombe, all of whom
settled here between 1669 and 1676. In
1675 during the Indian war. known as
the “King Philip war,” the inhabitants
wcrcobligcd to flee, and the day after
they left, cvcry habitation was burned.
Most of the exiles went to Windsor and
Hartford.
After the close of the war the
owners of the lands returned, rebuilt their
houses, and rccommcnccd the cultivation
of the soil. Among those who fled before
the burning of the sctllement,was the fath-
er of the “Governor Wolcott" of this State.
Simsbury Center lies in the valley through
which the ~Farmington River flows, the
hills on either sine of this valley are slop-
ing and nearly all portions are susceptible
of cultivation. These valley, lands, and
many of the slopes are rich in soil and
very productive, while the subsoil in both
valley and hills is of such a composition
as to effect perfect drainage. which
doubtlch is the Cause of the healthfulness
for which this and adjoining towns are
noted. Simsbury, is with the exception
of a small portion of the northeastcrly
part, knowu as “Tarriffville,” an agri-
cultural town, and its lands have yielded
bountiful harvests to those who have cul-
fivatcd them, and bid fair to increase
such bountiful yield. by 'the more sys-
tematic and scientific methods, now being
adopted in their cultivation.
In Granby, formerly a part of Sims-
bury, are the old “copper mines,” where
for many years the colony and State of
Connecticut prisoners were confined, and
these old prison vaults are often visited
by the curious, and those who desire to
investigate ’the methods of the early
rulers of the colony and State in prison
discipline. This prison was called "New-
gate,” and was used as aprison from Dec»
22, 1773, until 1827. '
There arc;five churches in the town,
Congregational and Methodistpin the cen-
ter, Episcopal, Baptist and Catholic, in
Tarriffville.
Like other of the early settled towns of
Connecticut, Simshury furnished her full
proportion of volunteers for the Indian
and Revolutionary wars, and records of
their names and deeds are to be found in
histories of the State; and in the published
records of the town; and like most or all
of the towns of the state, many of her
sons have gone forth from the town of
their birth, to other towns and cities in
this and other states to reside, and many
of them have been successful in their va-
rious pursuits.
Among those of the sons of Simshury
that have thus left their birth place and
been successful abroad, that are known
and remembered by the present genera-
tion, are the following named gentlemen:
Anson G. Phelps, Amos R. Eno, Nathan
C.Ely, Watson Wilcox, Dudley .P. Ely,
George D. Phelps, Guy It. Phelps, Rush
Taller. '
Anson G. Phelps went in early life to
New York city, and accumulated a large
fortune in mercantile business, and was
long at the head of the importing firm of
“Phclps,Dodgc & Co." Amos R. Eno
also went to New York. and has become
one of New York’s wealthy citizens, Mr.
Eno is the owuer of the Fifth'Avenue
Hotel, and other valuable real estate in
that city. Nathan C. Ely also made New
York his residence, has been successful
in business, and was atone time president
.of the heal-d of Aldermen of that city,
and for a time acting Mayor. This was .
at a time when the office of alderman in
that city was considered an honorable
one. Mr. Ely is now and has been for
many years president of the "Peter
Cooper Fire Insurance 00." Dudley P.
Ely, brother of Nathan 0.. went to New
York soon after his brother and
like him accumulated wealth. On the
decease of his wife, Mr. Ely removed to
South Norwalk, and now resides there.
Mr. Ely owns large parcels of real estate
in South Norwalk, including the “Ma-
hackemo Hotel.” He is President of the
First National and Savings Banks, presi-
dent of the Norwalk Gas Light company,
etc. Mr. Ely was for some years Mayor
of the city,‘ and many improvemenls in
the city are to be credited to his
administration. George D. Phelps made
his fortune in New York, and was buried
in Simsbury’a cemetery. Guy It. Phelps
removed to Hartford and became wealthy.
He is buried in this cemetery, as is noted
in another portion of this sketch.
. The principal residences in Simsbury
Center, like most of villages in the inte-
rier of the state, are on a main street,; and
all of them are pleasantly located, and
many of them with ample lawns on sides
and front, make most desirablerrcsidcnces,
especially during the warmer months of
the year. The residence of the late Geo.
D. Phelps, Sen. who removed from
Simsbury to New York in early life. and
became one of the millionaires of that
city, is the most extensive and beautiful,
the upward, sloping grounds in the rear,
with the well kept pine'forest, adding
much to the effect.
The residence formerly owned and oc-
cupiedflby the late Judge Jeffery 0. Phelps,
and now owned and occupied by the Hon.
Jeffery O. Phelps, son of the late J udgc,
is one of the land marks of Simsbury.
This house was built in,1777, and was for
many years kept as a tave'ru‘before being
purchased by Judge Phelps, which pur-
chase was made in 1820. The house. is
of good size, heavily timbercd, low
ceilings, with rooms on three levels on
first floor. intricate passage ways, and
many of the olden time cupboards, and in
the rooms and cupboards are to be seen
specimens'of “old and quaint,” that would
delight, and perhaps craze, persistent col-
lectors. Among the pewter specimens,
is a set of four genuine old time tankards.
which if to be sold, would bring their
weight in silver. Mr. Phelps, the present
owner, has recently erected a palace barn
with solid brick walls and slated roof. for
his large number of blooded cattle, and
his “Durhams” and ”Jerseys” live and
grow under its roofs in elegant (cattle)
luxury, and a visit to his herd would re-
pay a day’s journey.
The cemetery, in which the remains of
nearly or quite 10,000 bodies have been
laid to rest theuntil resurrection mom, is
and love during life, and whose memory
, to ofilciate. .Mr. McLean died March ,19
one of the, or the most beautiful plot of
ground in Simsbury; the early settlers
showing. their good taste and sense in.
their selection for the "city of the dead."
This cemetery, formerly one. now con.
tains nearly or quite seven acres, lies on
the westerly side of the main or village
street,thc ground gradually rising from
the entrance to a height of about fifty
feet. Upon the higher portion of the plot
are many beautiful in design, and some
expensive monuments; and all of this
cemetery is in full view of those passing
on trains of the two railroads running
through the town. .
Among the larger and more expensive
monuments are the following:
On the plot of the late Dr. Guy R.
Phelps, a native of Simshury, but long a
resident of Hartford, is a monument of
granite, beautiful in dcsign,thirty-two feet
in height. Dr. Phelps died March 18d),
1869, aged 67 years. On a lot near that
of Dr. Piiblps is a massive tomb erected
by the late John J. I‘Ilclps,fathcr of Wil-
liam Walter Philips, elf-member of Con-
gress from New J crsey.”
Another is that on the burial plot of
Hon. John Owen Pcttibone, ajgradnstc of
Yale in 1805, a mcmbcr of the Legislature
of Connecticut in 1823. Mr. Pcttibonc
'was the oldest member of the House in
1867, which he called to order on the
opening of session. Mr. Pettibono died
possessed of 1475 acres of land by actual
measurement.
The monumentof the late Judge ch-
fcry O. Phelps, catafalquc shaped, is of
mottled Westerly granite, finely polished,
and is massive in appearance. J udgc
Phelps was born February lot, 1791, died
March 21, 1879. .
A Scotch granite monument twenty or
more feet high, stands on the lot of the
late Henry Ely, brother of ex Mayor Ely
of South Norwalk, who died October 17th,
1849, in the forty-seventh year of his
a c.
EA brown stono monument, erected to
commemorate the and death of eight girls,
who were killed by an explosion in the
Fuse manufactoryol:1‘oy,Bickford & 00.,
on the 20th of December, 1859, bears this
inscription,
“They met, that happy hand, no thought of
ill
Clouded:a 'brow, or checked it heart’s glad
thrill,
Ere one brief hour on rapid wing had lied,
All, all with the silent dead.”
About seventy-five feet from the en-
trance of the cemetery stands a handsome
marble monument, which bears this'in-
scriplion “Erectcd to her memory by her
affectionate son,,Anson G. Phelps." By
the .side of the mother lies the body of
her{ husband, .the father of Anson G.
Phelps, his resting place being marked by
a moss grown, red sand head stone. Why
such distinctions ? is the question of all
who are aware of its existence.
On the main avenue, about half way
.‘up‘the slope adjoining. are the burial
plots with handsome monuments in each,
of Benjamin Ely and cx-Mayor Dudley
P. Ely, father and son. Benjamin Ely
died August, 1852, aged 85 years; his
wife Polly, died June, 1850, aged 73
years.
In the plot of ell-Mayor Ely lie the re-
mains of his wife, Charlotte)W., daughter
of the late Judge Jeffery O. Phelps, who
died, October 3d, 1858, aged thirty-three
years, and his daughters Hattie, Charlie
and the infant son of Hattie. Handsome
marble monuments now mark the resting
place of all but one, and that will soon be
in place. On the monument of Mrs. Ely
are these lines,
“Sleep soft in dust, wait the Almighty’s will,
Then rise unchanged, and be an angel still.”
Among the interments in this cemetery
is that of the Rev. Allen McLean, for fifty
seven years the minister of Simsbury
Congregational church, who was respected
is still cherished by all that know him.
For ten or more years before his dccease
Mr. McLean was totally blind, but con-
tinued his lninistrations until near the
close of his life, his wife leading him to
the foot of the pulpit stairs when he was
1861 in’the 81st year of his age.
The wife of Amos 1%. Eno of New York
city, was buried in this cemetery last No-
vember, and it is expected that a suitable
monument for ;Mr. Eno’s burial plot will
soon be erected.
It will be observed by what has been
recorded in‘thisfisketch, that very many of
the natives of this town, who have left
home in early life. and made residences
in other towns and states, have made
provision that they and their families
shallbc laid to rcstjn this cemetery.
A large and handsome monument marks
the lot of the late Geo. D; Phelps, Sen.
Near the summit of the cemetery stand
six head stones of uniform size. that mark
the burial place of six members of a family
that died within the short space of forty-
three days, the cause of death being a

Among the graves here is found that
of the Rev. Samuel Stebbins, a much
loved and respected minister of the gos-
pel, who died June 20th, 1821, aged 70
years, forty-four of which were spent in
the ministry in Simsbury’s Congregational
church.
John Bestor, M. D. who diedjn 1825, 60
years of age and who was highly respected
by the entire community, is also buried

place, and lived here until his death

The grave of Noah Amherst Phelps,
who was Secretary of State of Connecti
cut. isnear the summit of the cemetery.
The first recorded burial in this ceme-
tery that is to be found on the tomb-
stones, was iu the year 1668, but it is
probable that there may have been some
earlier. of which no record is known. The
oldest stone bears this inscription,
“Herc lyos the body of Mercy Baal

this life on July 4th, 1668, ag’d 22 years.”

NAME. I

[From filo Hartford Courant.]
A person driving along the old post road.
about three miles west of Windsor, Conp.‘
will notice a vow pretty little brown mt-
tage located near the roadside, guarded,
as it were, by two massive clms. Sur-
rounding this beautiful Ilomcstcad'arc
countless acres of well-tilled land and
beautiful orchards, all denoting a person
in charge of master mind and superior
taste. The ordinary observer would pass
along, not knowing this was the home of
one of the greatest healers of modqn
times. Yet, such is the case, and the few
Ifacts given below go to substantiate the
assertion. . '
Being in search of ”news,” our repor—
fer, who had often heard of the fame of
the occupant, on rapping at the door, was
promptly invited to enter by a‘matqunl V .
lady of medium age, possessing a ver
pleasant countenance and striking apps
once. on entering, in answer to mil
question, Is Mrs. Thrall at home? she an:
swered promptly, yes, I am the lady;
what can I do for you? 2;
Reporter—Hearing of your wonderful
success in caring long-standing and chron-
ic diseases Icallcd to get a short state-.-.
ment of‘some of your recent cases, and
the means you have adopted for their
cure. ~ '
Well, said Mrs. 'l‘., I have been prac.
tising medicine for thirty years, and in
that time have had some very difficult
cases. ‘
I have in'my mind one man who came
here from England. His was a severe
case of “kidney complaint.” He wast
great sufferer, and had almost given up
hopes of finding relief. Well, to make a
long story short, I took him in charge,
and would, you believc,'after he had used
four bottles of the medicine I gave him.
he was relieved through the natural chani
no! of a piece of oxalate of lime calculus
fully as large as a hazel nut, of a very ir.
regular shape, somewhat like a grain of
corn when popped ‘open. It Was a dark
brown color. Its passage was. of course,
accompanied by very severe and cutting
pains. _I am pleased to say he is now a
well man. And Mrs. T..added, a full ac:
'count of the matter appeared in the time,
and was much commuted on by the med,
ical fraternity. 1
I presume you have people come from
a distance sometimes it
Oh, yes; sometimes ll great distance.
Not long ago I had three or four cases of I
dropsy. One of them lived twenty miles
from here. In these cases, you' know,.
sometimes the persons swell to an enor-
mous size.
.Have you had many of these cases?
I could enumerate any number of per-
sons who, having despaired of getting,
well, have placed themselves under my
care, and I have cared them. ‘
What is your mode of trratment in
these cases? ’
Well, I prescribe a never-failing medi-
cine, one that I have used in all similar
cases for six years, namely, “Hunt’s Rem-
edy." . .
Are your patients awarc
are giving them ?
Oh , yes! I give it to them in the origi-
nal package, but somgtimcs give other
things in connection with it. '
Then your vast experience in the treat-
ment of the diseases mentioned has given
you abundant opportunity to test the cur—
ative qualities of Hunt’s Remedy. which
you'prize so highly?
Yes; and after the most thorough and ex-
haustive provings of Hunt‘s Remedy I am
fully convinced of its superior merits and
specific action upon the diseases for which
it is recommended. In short, it cures
when everything else fails.
Then you are willing to have your
name used in connection with the article
in question, are you ?
Yes. I make this statement voluntarily,
and will sign my name, which is given in
fall below.
Mus. FLAVIA A. THRALL, M. D.,
Poquonock,,Conn., May 31, 1883.
of what you
CONNECTICUT SOHOOL TEACH-
BBS.
When interviewad, recently. Mr. H. L.
Soper, principal of the High School at
Poquonock, Conn., said, in'rclstion toa
matter which had given him much anxie-
ty and pain: my was and I have both
used Hunt's Remedy, and find it really a
superior article. A year or' so ago my
kidneys became weak and sluggish, owing
too severe strain, and finding relief in
Hunt’s Remedy I continued its use until
I had used four bottles, when I became
well. Since my cure I have suggested its
use to a great number of people, who I
have been benefited by using it. And to
substantiate this statemenf, Mr. H. S.
Clark, assistant superintendent, came in
at this moment, and said: I can certify
to the value of Hunt’s Remedy. having
received great benefit from its use. My
trouble commenced thlvc years ago,
when my kidneys became afflicted with
inflsmafion of the passages, but the timely
use of so valuable a medicine arrested the
disease. I can now cheerfully recommend
it to all sufferingas I was.
THE BEST SATISFACTION.
Mr. Maurice Wescott of Poquonock,
Conn., recently remarked to a personal
friend: I take pleasure in saying or writ
ing anything relative to Hunt’s Remedy.
You will see I keep it on my shelves for
sale; alongside of it are a number of oth-
er articles put up forthe same purposes,
but I tell you Hunt’s ltemedy sells the
best and gives the best satisfaction. I
have been selling it now for six years: in
fact, ever since I have‘bccn in this store.
' I presume you have heard some good
reports from It ? .
Oh, yes, said Mr. W. 5 I could tell you
of a large number of persons who have
spoken to me in the ‘vhigbcst terms of
Hunt’s Remedy, saying it was the only
medicine they could find that would give
relief.
And, continued Mr. W., this is not all,
About a year ago]; member of my family
contracted heavy cold syhich settled on
the kidneys, causing severe suffering, and
boxing heard such good reports of Hunt's
Remedy, I advised its. use, and it proved
valuable indeed. one bottle effecting a. per-
foot care, with no returnof thosymptoms
or disease. It will at all times be a source
of pleasure Po me to recommend so valu-
able an article as Hunt’s Remedy. .
I was severely afflicted for eleven years with
Hay Fever. after trying almost over thing
without avail, I gave up all hopes-of being
cared, when I purchased ,a. bottle of Ely’s
Cream Balm. To my snrpriso,'aftor slow
applications, I was entirely relieved. B. Wat-
son Harris, letter carrier, Newark, N. J.
I recommend to those sufi‘ering (us Ishavc
with Ha Fever,) Ely’s .Crcam Balm. I
have trio nearly all the remedies, and give
this a decided preference over them all. It

Daisy Fields of Summer.
BY mm X. LUDLUM.
Daisy fields of summer I
Pure as drifted snow
Am the starry blossoms
Swaying to and fro.
Low the west wind’s laughter
Swsys the golden wheat,
Rocks the crimson clover
Full of perfume sweet.
Whispers to the roses
Nodding, blushing deep ;
Ilaffling up the river
Till its wavelets leap
O’cr the bending rushes,
Up the pebbly shore.
Leaving sparklingifoam-fleclrs '
‘ 0n the breezy moor. " n
, But. from all the rambles
Back the west wind comes ;
Trampling down the clover,
Through thel wheat-field hams.
Calls to Robert Lincoln
Full of gladncss born ;
Whistles to the blackbirds
Hiding in the com.
as snowdrifts.

1 Each deep heart revealed.
, They are fair and dainty,
Modest, too, and shy,
With bent heads they listened
As the wind passed by.
But when he had left them,
(Each deep heart revealed !)
Then they was up stately
In the summer field.
“What if he has left us?” I
Cried each daisy-heart,
“No one else must guess it!
No one know the smart!
"In each life the raindrops
Fall like drops of pearl,
Each drop in tho fern<cups
Helps them to uncurl !
“If the crimson rosobuds
Felt no drops of rain,
Then, to blushing roses
They could ne’er attain!
“Then, too, when the raindrops
And the clouds are past,
Come the blessed sunshine
And blue sky at last.
“If the ferns and roscbuds
Die without the rain.
Why, then, a poor daisy
Nothing else would gain!
“So, c’cn if the west wind——
Once our lover frue— ‘
Has strayed thro’ the wheat fields,
Kissed the roses, too,
“Still we will be faithful ;
Keep our henrts§of gold
Full of love and trusting
As they were of old!”
Crimson-hearted roses
Nodding o’er the wall ,-
Bob-o-link and blackbird
Echo back the call;
Wheat cars nod and tremble,
Glover’s blushing red,
For they hear the music
0f the west Wind’s tread,
Thro’ the fields of summer
Sounds a whistle clear;
And the daisies, starting,
Cry: “The wind is here 1”
While the west Wind’s laughter
Echoes thro’ the fields:
"Lo I in all my rambles
Naught such sweetness yields
“As this field of daisies,
Each with golden heart!
For no other beauties
Shall we ever part I”
Daisy fields of summer !
We this knowledge gain :
Golden gleams of sunshine
Follow after rain !
q We Are Not Missed.
If you or I
To-day should die,
The birds would sing the same to-morrow,
The vernal Spring
Her flowers would bring,
And few would think of us with sorrow.
Yes, he is dead,
Would then be said ;
The corn would floss, the grass yield bay,
The cattle low,
And Summer go,
And few would head us pass away.
How soon we pass I
How few, alas I
Remember those who turn to mold;
Whose faces fade
With Autumn’s shade
Beneath the sudden churchyard cold !
Yes, it is so—
Wo come and go!
They hail our birth, they mourn as dead ;
A day or more
The Winter o’er,
Another takes our place instead.

He stands upon the pavement
And wrestles with the breeze ;
He looks in through the window,
And this is what he sees;
Lights low, a combination
0f mustache and of curl—
Another fellow’s hugging
The other fellow’s girl.

“Progress” in America.
The great nation of jumpers ! The re-
public of hurry! Young men in the
prime of life jump into graves; middle-
aged men hurry into coffins! I live on a
type of retrogrossive Italy! Oh, progress,
progress! On thy altar arc the sacrifices
of millions of lives, millions of luxuries,
and millions of happiness! I am hurried
ofl the ferry boat and hurried into a cab;
I am hurried into a hotel, a bath, is dining
room wherea dinner is hurried into me,
and then told that this is progress ! I am
hurried into aml out of bed and down
Broadway the veriest gulf stream of all
hurry. Yes. it is progress! So is s loco-
motive on the Hudson River railroad at
eighty miles per hour. So is cabling
messages for the daily press under the
Atlantic, thn the messages are worth
cabling! So is lobbying at Albany on
appropriation bills! Progress here is to
me a paradox, because I have not yet lost
my Italian peculiarities. The American
girl is champagny. She is glittering,
foamy, bubbly, sweit. dry, fart—in a
word, fizzy! She has not that dreamy,
magical, murmurry lovcableness of our
Italian girl. And yet there is a cosmo-
polifsu combination in the American girl
that makes her a mini attractive coquetto
in her frankness, in her pardonnble frivol-
ity, in her being a phenomenon of verbal
intrigue! You may lose your head with
her easily in a week, and in the way of
recollecling what you had said to her
yesterday, for she is gifted with memory.
but your heart! It takes a longer time
for that! But besurc she will have both
sooner or later.
