Under the Snow.

Under the snow, the drifting snow.
The muflcd rill is creeping;
Under the snow, the drifting snow,
A weary world lies sleeping
Under tho snow, the drifting snow.
No weeping, groaning signing;
Under the snow, the drifting snow,
The dead, but not the dying.
Under the snow the grasses rest.
For summers bloom preparing;
Under the snow, their vcrdurs blest,
The cYergreens are wearing.
Under the snow, no cunning art.
Its tempting snares cOncealing.
Under the snow, the broken heart,
No bitter pang is feeling.
Under the snow are frozen "a ars,
Upon the pale check lying;
Under the snow, the dear one wears
The smile she gave when dying.
Under the snow, the ivory brow
With silver locks il beaming,
Under the snow are hidden now
The golden ringlots cleaning.
Under the snow, unfelt the thrill
OF friendships kindly greeting:
Under the snow the heart is still
That once with love was boating.
Under the snow, the sacred trust,
BY angel care defended
Under the snow the guarded dust
VIII sleep till time is ended.
Under the snow, is hushcd the cry
or hearts with sorrow teamng;
Under the snow we all shall lie.
When We have done with dreaming.

Iatter was living at Monroe, in the
State of Michigan, at very advanced
age, but few months since. Mr..
Hutchins resided in Georgia a few
years after leaving St Adams. He
removed from that State to st, Law
renee county, N Y, where he died a
few years ago. He was part mer
chant and part lawyer while in st.
Adams, and not greatly distinguished
IN either profession.
LEVI HOUSE,
Probably the most conspicuous and
noted attorney that was here in those
early times, came into st. Adams
about the time the county was or
gained; perhaps little before. He
first resided in Georgia, and there
married the daughter of Nathaniel b.
Tracy. After his removal to st. Al
bans he became quite noted as an adj
vocate OF the law For n considerable
time he was successful in business
and before the year 1902 he was re-
puted to be the first attorney in the
county. He seems to have been a
man of brilliant talents, but not a
learned lawyer. His legal qualifca-
tons were such as pleased the MAORI
ty of the people of those times. He
was bold, positive and abusive. He
had great run of business, and at
one time was supposed to be quite
wealthy. 1t has been said that he
kept no books of account, but made
his charges on loose strips of paper
He was negligent in collecting his
debts, and consequently lost consid-
cradle portion of his earnings. He
built house on the spot where now,
1866, stands the dwelling of H. r.
Beardsly, Esq This house was the
largest and most costly of any before
erected in the county of Franklin. 1t
was Of wood but elegant and showey
1t was burned to ashes in 1921, while
owned by Orange Ferris Mr. House
was man ofindependent feelings, fear
ing and caring for no one. He was
profane and abusive in relation to
those whom he considered hostile to
him. He was federahst in his poll
/ ties, and deemed all those of the OPP
posite party his political adversaries.
The writer has in his possession a copy
of memorandum written by the late
Seth Wetmore, detailing the CONVEX
sation or rather the language, held
by House towards Judge james at a
public inn, in st. Adams, August Z,
1905. 1t was profane and abusive in
the extreme. James was then chief
Judge OF the county court, and re-
/ quested Mr. Wetmore to note down
the language used by House, with a
view, probably, of commencing an ac-
ton Of SANDER against House. The
language was undoubtedly actionable;
but it does not appear that James ever
brought an action of the kind against
House for this slanderous language.
He probably considered that Houses
abusive language was harmless as to
any injury to reputation. House by
this time had become Incorporate, and
people had lost confidence in him as
a lawyer, and as man of business.
He became involved in debt, and was
unable to pay. He not long after
previous to 1Sl0-remoyed to Canada,
and, of course, did no more business
in St Adams. He afterwards return
ed here, when he died in 1913 He
LETT no property. The spacious house
which he had built had sometime pre-
vious become the property of another
proprietor.

The worsted stockiug-A True Story

''Father Will have done the chimney
to night, won't he, mother p said little
Tom Howard, as he stood waiting for
his fathers breakfast, which he carried
to his work every morning a9"
+ He said he hoped all the scaffolding
would be down tonight" answered his
mother, "and that'll be fine sight
for | never like the ending of those
great chimneys-it'ss so risky-tby faith
er's to be the last up 3!
"Eh, then, I'll 90 and see him, and
help 'em to give a shout afore he comes
down." said Tom. '-a g. --s .. go
"And then,''' continued his mother,
''if all goes right we are to have frolic
tomorrow, and take our dinner and
spend all the day amongst the woods" /"
"Hurrah,' y cried Tom, as he ran off
to his place of work, with can of milk
in one hand, and some bread and butter
in the other. His mother stood at the
door watching him as he went whistle
ling down the street, and then she
thought Of the dear father he was going
to, and the dangerous work he was en-
gagged in, and then her heart found its
sure refuge, and she prayed to God to
protect and bless her dear treasures
Tom, with light heart, pursued his
way to his father, and, leaving his
breakfast, went to his own work, which
was some distance In the,evening, on
his way home, he went around to see
how his father was getting on. James
Howard, the father, aud number of
other workmen, had been building one
of those lofty chimneys, which, in our
great manufacturing towns, almost sup
ply the place of all other architectural
beauty.
This chimney was one of the highest
and most tapering that had ever been
erected and as Tom, shading his eyes
from, the rays of the slanting SUI, looked
up to the top in search of his father,
his heart almost sank within him at the
appalling hight. The scaffolding was
almost down the men at the bottom
were removing the last beams and poles.
Toms father stood alone on the top
He looked all around to see that every
thing was right, and then, waving bis
hat in the air, the men below answered
him with long, loud cheer, little Tom
shouting as heartily as any of them.
: As their voices died away, however,
they heard different sound-a cry of
alarm and horror from above: The
rope y The men looked round, and
coiled upon the ground lay the rope,
which, before the scafolding was re-
move should have been fastened to
the chimney for Toms father to come
down by. The scaffolding had been
taken down without their remembering
to take up the rope There was dead
silence. They all knew it was impossi-
BILE to throw the rope high enough to
reach the top of the chimney; or if
they could it would hardly have been
safe. They Stood ia silence and dis
may, unable to give any help or think
of anv means Of safety.
