THE MOTHERS DREAM

had filled the house with DUST Charley was
imperiously demanding the accustomed aid in

and lost his cap Mary, in her fear lest she
should be late at school, had upset her bottle
of ink over her blue muslin dress, and little

moaning sadly in the little cradle. A woman
of clear head and strong nerves might well be
perplexed by these demands upon her time.
Peer Mrs. Arnold she had been kept awake
through the night by her childs illness, and it
was very difficult, when her aching head 30
needed quiet and rest, to find the patience and

were not very gentle, as she hastily pointed out

At last, the three children started for school
and after giving Catherine some directions
concerning the dinner, and making hurried

Wiihout-the young moon, pale as shroud,
Climbs through the fringes of the cloud,
That sivers in its light;
And underneath the purple sky,
The sourd of small waves creeping by
Goes whispering through the night
Wilma brooding sense ofill
Hangs DER the room so strangely still,
Like shadows DER tomb.
Where heavy curtains, fold on fold,
Shut in the silence weird snd cold,
And two hearts in the gloom
Iico hearts, but one hath found release,
One face hath caught the lock ofpeace
They wear beneath the pail;
And one, with heavy throbs of dread,
Keeps watch above the shiouded dead,
And Prays, "God keep us ALL"
Two waxen limbs in quiet rest,
Two meek hands folded OH the breast,
As if they clasped prayer;
All, better thus, than day by day,
Along weary sunless way,
A heavy cross 10 bear.

Dumb lips too cold for love TO kiss,
Young heart! of wealth untold,
Sweet eyes that shone with changeless ray
How can we hide you all away
Beneath the staining mould.

The song we loved so much,
Will not your fingers, light as air,

REPUBLICAN CAuoUs.-A Republican meeting

REPUBLICAN CAuous.-A Republican meeting
was held at Brinley Hall, last evening, for tn,
choice of delegates to the Senatorial Convention
TO be held in this city, tomorrow, and to the
Councillor Convention, to be held in Greenfield
on Friday, Oct. 10. W. w. Rice, Esq, pre-
sided and S. Z. Twiss, Esq, was chosen Secre
tary. A committee of two from each ward, chos
en- for the purpose, retired and reported list oil
delegates to each Convention
While the nominating committee were in con-
sultation, Mr.. Dexter F. Parker. in brief ad
dress, communicated variety of important sta
tistics relative the State finances showing, in
the course of his remarks, that the pledges OF
the Republicans to effect reform in the expend-
itures Of the Commonwealth had been most sue,
cessfully accomplished without in the least de-
gree imparing the efficiency of the State govern
ment or the welfare Of her public institutions
In reply to interrogatories from Mr.. Thomas
Drew, Mr.. Parker acknowledged the authorship
of the Cayenne Letters" re affirming the truth
of their statements, but decidedly disclaiming all
vindictive feeling in their utterance, and al
though he had disapproyed of some of the execu.
tive appointments, he was nevertheless a warm
supporter of the State government, and should
heartily and cheerfully stand pledged to sustain
any and all nominations OF the Republican party.
In response to frequent calls from the meeting
Messrs, Drew and Parker occupied some time in
humorous rehearsal of various personal and po-
litical "reminiscences which were listened to with
repeated and enthusiastic applause.
Aresolution offered by Mr.. Thomas Earle, in
structing the delegates to vote for no man op-
posed to the State government or to the Chief
Magistrate of the Commonwealth, was laid upon
the table without discussion.
The committee having completed its business,
Mr.. Alexander Thayer submitted majority re-
port of delegates for the Senatorial Convention,
as follows
AT Large-Geo. NJ. Rice, E. Collier, H. G.

I The SUFFOLK BANK-Imlportant Opinion
An elaborate opinion has been given by Judge
Curtis, Caleb Cushing, and Benz. F. Butler, on
statement Of facts in several which have re-
Gently occurred between the Suffolk Bank and
certain country banks. After a review of the
facs,t and an examination Of the purposes for
which the banks are chartered, and of the law and
public policy pertaining thereto, Judge Curtis
and his associates say
"And the question is. whether a confederacy Of
the managers of the Suffolk Bank, to the cap
ital of that bank and the control which it now
possesses over the bills Of the country banks, to
compel them to elect not to employ this agency,
using the bills of the Tecusaut banks, not merely
to obtain payment thereof but to disorder and
embarrass their affairs and then force them into
subordnston to the will of the managers of the
Suffolk Bank, is, or is not, criminal conspiracy
In OUR OPINION IT Is -"
This opinion is further elaborated, and the wri.
tiers conclude by saying:
"But this case contains elements OF public mis-
chief and CONFIRMATION of public policy which
seem to us entitled to great weight The CD
pressiVe and unjust intent is to be executed not
on single person, affecting his private affairs
and interests, but operating on one of the agents.
created and regulated by the State, in pursuance
of its public policy to maintain a sound curTen.
cy. The means proposed to be used are to en-
barrass and derange the affairs Of such an agent
and thus to discrcdit and disorder the currency
which such agent issues.
And the ultimate purpose is, to restrain that
agent and all Others, from employing the Bank
of Mutual Redemption, TO do what il was created
to do, and what the general public policy of the
State requires it should be lett tree to do accord
ing to the public wants and interests, when
brought under the test ef free competition, unre
"trlcted by private confederacies of individuals
having adverse aud partir ular interests.
And our opinion is, that if the managers Of the
Suffolk Bank, confederate together to the
bills of country banks, OF which under the pres.
ent course of business they have the control, not
merely in good faith 10 obtain payment OF those
bills, but to needlessly embarrass the business
aud disorder the affairs and discredit the crcula
ton of the country banks and by such means to
force the country usnks to employ the Suffolk
Bank and consequently not to employ the Bank
OF Mutual Redemption, TO redeem their bills in
Boston, this is a confederacy which is criminal
and subjects those engaged in It 10 an indictment
which may be found in any county, and, there is
reason TO believe in any state, where overt act
is done in pursuance of the conedetacy.

WONDERFUL LoNGEyITY.-We record the
most wonderful case of longevity that has
come to our notice. On the morning of Sun
day, the Sd inst, there died in East Corinth,
in this county, maiden lady named Edger.
ly, whose age, as shown by the written rec
ord, was one hundred and seOenteea gears. Il
is said that she was five years old when the
record was made, so that her real age is one
hundred and twenty- t'co years. She perfectly
retained her faculties until within two years.

her to thread needle as readily as any young
person. She was born on Cape Cod in 1896.
