Thcy Won't Trouble You Long.

Children grow up-nothing on earth
grow so fast as children. II was but
yesterday, and that lad was playing with
tons. Il buoyant boy. He Is man, and
gone now. There is no more childhood
for him and for us. Life has claimed
him. When a beginning is made, it is
like ravelling Il stocking; stitch by
stitch gives way till all are gone. The
house has not child in it. There is no
more noise in the hall-boys rushing in
pellmcil it is very orderly now. There
is no more skates or sleds, bats, balls or
strings left scattered about. Things are
neat enough now.
There is no delay for breakfast for
sleepy folks there is no longer any task
before you of looking for anybody, and
tucking up the bodclothes. There are
no disputes to settle, nobody to get off to
school, no complaints, no opportunities
for impossible things, no rips TO mend,
no fingers to tie up, 10 faces to be wash
ed, or collars to be arranged? There
never was such peace in the house! 1t
would sound like music to hear some
feet clattcr down the front stairs On,
for some childrcn's noise.
What used to all us that we were
hushing theirloud laugh. checking their
noisy frolic, and reproving their slam
ming and banging the doors? We wish
our neighbors would lend us an urchin
or two to make little noise in these
premises. A home without children !!
1t is like lantern and 10 candles a
garden and no flowers; Il vine and no
grapes a brook and no water gurglng
and rushing in its channels. We want
to be tired. TO be vcXcd, to be run over,
to hear child-lfe at work with all its
varieties.
During the secular days this is
enough marked. But it is Sunday that
puts our home to the proof. That is the
Christian family day. The intervals of
public worship are long spaces OF peace.
The family seems made up on that day,
The children are ut home. You can lay
your hands on their heads. They seem
to recognize the greater and lesser love
to God and to friends. The house is
peaceful but not still. There is low
and melodiOus thrill of children in it.
But Sunday comes too still now. There
is Il silence that aches in the ear. There
is too much room at the table, TOO much
ut the hearth. The bedrooms are 8
world too orderly. There is too much
leisure and too little.
Alas! what mean these things ? l.
somebody growing old? Are these signs
and tokens? Is life wearing

TO THE DEMOCRATS /!
THE ARGUS
For Is Cents a Month

If the Democracy of this County
intend to make an effort to carry the
County, CT to aid in carrying the
State and the Nation, they must see
to it that no family, disposed to read,
is unprovided with some Democratic
Paper during the campaign. The
County Committee tone member of
which resides in each Township in
the County and should act for his
Township should see that Demo-
cratic Associations or Clubs are
formed in every Township and that
every School District has its Com
mittees, and every family in each
District is supplied with something
to read.
For the purpose of doing our
share in this work, we will send the
WEEKLY ARGUS in clubs of ten
copies or more, all sent to one man,
and for distribution among people
who are not now subscribers, at Is
cents month to each person, which
would be so cents to each subscriber
for four months, or As cents for
three months. Remember that we
take no single subscribers at this
rate-and no clubs of less than ten,
all in each club of ten or more to
pay in advance, and all commence
and end at the same time, and all
sent to one man. This offer is not
made to persons who are now SUBJ
scribers, for we cannot afford to
furnish the paper at these rates. 1t
Is made with a view of inducing
the Democrats of each Township
to raise fund for supplying such
persons as might be benefited by
reading our side of the political
questions at issue. The money
must always accompany the order,
as no papers will be sent until the
money is received. Direct letters
to DANFoRTH & JONES,
