Speaking of the Japanese wares exhibited

''The exquisite workmanship so much sur
passes the taste in design, that one wonders if

the rope too short, and when he stepped from

THE SETTLERS OF THE VALLEY.
BY C. F. oRNE.

The waters of Connecticut go swiftly flowing down,
Through many a noble mountain gorge, By many
pleasant town.
Through fertile plains that stretch away from the
green hills broadening base,
And where the scattered giant trees mark the old
forests place.
There's boat and barge and sail of ships wind-waft-
ed or steam-droye,
And all that trade and traffic brings where industry
has throve;
And on the tributary streams the busy mill-wheel
dloAes,
And the hum of labor everywhere comes up in hap
Ply tones.
TWAS not so, long, long ago when first our fathers
stood,
Ere their little band of sturdy men the wilderness
subdued;
When the Fequot war had drained their strength,
their crops been left 10 die,
And the pitiless cold winter hung frowning in tie
sky
There was famine in Connecticut; and Mason and
his men
Went up as far Pocontuck in search of any gain
10 save the feeble settlements from failing quite
away,
And keep the prosperous advance made by the good
old Bay.
Our annals beart the record still how friendly Indians
heard
And generOus-heared made response to the beseech-
ing word,
And how their ripe and golden grain they joyfully
displayed,
And said the sapling should rejoice beneath the
strong oaks shade.
Ta,rs D;,.o,, L~,,a
Before nor since has ever passed adown its flowing
tide.
There were fifty birch canoes with corn all laden
gunwale deep,
And bright the living waters leaped beneaththe oars
light sweep.
There were swarthy faces looking out with mild and
sweet content,
AS they marked the lines of silver light that still be-
hId them went,
So passed they down the silent stream now crouch
ing 10 the car,
Now pausing for trusttul word to anxious ones ON
shore.
They glided past the dis old woods that hung in
stiffness lone
Or lost themselves in shadows dark, by mountain
masses thrown.
In graceful curying line they swept the juttng point
around,
Or closer ranged where bay like spread the waters
wider bound.
And all the river towns rejoice when looking up The
stream,
They grateful saw the cleaning in the wan
SUMS pale beam.
They feared more the binding frost or winters
bowling blast
Or dark air thick with driving snow;-tbcir farpine
fear was past.
And we, at least, while keeping count of saYage
deeds of old,
When all the tales of cruelty fierce and shudder-
ing told,
May well remember honestly, when, but for Indian
hands,
The Settlers of the Valley had famiahed on their
lands

month Of January

The excessive cold of two or three days in
the month had disastrous effect upon the at
tendancei in the primary schools, which mater
tally reduced the average for the month"; The
number of teachers is 72-now employed. The
inhabitants of the North Pond district present
ed petition, signed by John II. Brooks, Jr.,
and twenty Others, asking that steps might be
taken for the purchase of a lot and the cree.
ton of new school house suitable for the
wants Of the district. The petition was refer
red to the Committee on School Houses. The
portion of the Mayors inaugural address re-
lating to the subject of instruction in writing
in the schools was referred to a special COM
mittee, DIR. Workman, Chairman. The pro-
curing of medals for distribution at the High
School was referred to the Committee of the
High School. 1t was voted, upon the sugges-
ton of the Superintendent, to place the Provi-
dence street (suburhan) school upon the same
basis with the schools i'll the center district
and the assistants department was established
as permanent primary school. After the
transaction of some routine business the Board
adjourned for one month.

dress-one that makes him tue envy of every
dandy of Pennsylvania avenue for its diStingue
pertection-is black dress coat, with velvet
collar, and light gray trowsers, tapering down
to the small, shiny boots. His hands are en-
cased in perfectly fitting kid gloves of some
dark color, v hich he constantly wears, even
in his seat. This habit has given rise to
pershtious rumor that they are worn to con
ceal the deep blood stains which he fancies
are still crimsonng his hands. He lounges in
sort of nonchalant way upon his seat, seldom
accosted by his fellow members, and appar-
emily quite unaware that he is the center for

Mr.. PENNINGTON AND HENRY CLAY.-A
letter to the Cincinnati Commercial, dated at
Lexington, Ky, says :-"Perhaps it would in.
terest some of your readers to know why the
election of Pennington of New Jersey, as
Speaker, gave such satisfaction in Lexington
l think it was in either 1845 or 1916 that Hen.
ry Clay became embarrassed to such an extent
that he had to mortgage Ashland In the
meantime movement had been started in
New Orleans by some of Mr.. Clays friends,
that they wouldpay his debts and relieve him
| from his embarrassments, and Mr.. A. ii. Trot-
ter, the agent of the Northern Bank in New
Orleans, was sent east to confer with Claws
friends.
The consequence was that about $4,000
were subscribed, and Hon. Wm. Pennington
was sent to Kentucky with the money and
came to Lexington without aIcelv any person
unowing him. He walked into the Northern
Bank, asked for Mr.. Scott, the cashier of the
bank, and upon being shown that gentleman,
asked if there were not several notes of Mr..
Clay that were due in few days, and was
answered that there Were. Mr.. Scott was re.
duested to give the whole amount of Mr..
Cay's Indebtedness which was done and a
draft on one of the New York banks was hand.
ed him, and Mr.. Pennington left the bank with
all Mr.. Clay's notes paid. In few days Mr..
Clay came to town to arrange for a renewal OF
the notes ifpossible, and was shown into the side
room of the bank. After sittnga few minutes
he asked Mr.. Scott if there could be any ar
rangeinent to run the notes for longer time
Mr.. Scott looked at Mr.. Clay TO see if he wss
not jesting, and finding that he was not, told
him that gentleman from New Jersey had
called yesterday and paid off his Indebtedness
Mr.. Clay started when Mr. Scott spoke, look
ed at him a few seconds, burst into tears, and
left the bank overwhelmed. No man ever had
such friends Such, sir, is a brief narrative, o.
