Particular.


,z- every town should contain lands equivalent tC
six miles square, or 90 ,O40 acres. The grantee.
ipaid for that quantity of land But it some
= tines happened that when a number of town
lot charters had been granted in particular locali-
rs ", there remained a tract of land not large
y enough for town but more than half large
! enough. The deficiency was made up by tract,
s or BY tracts Of land anywhere else in the State,
nd that could be made available for that purpose.
~ ~ These complementary tracts were called CORES.
For example; the town Of Goshen in Adli-
son County is much less than six miles square,
as Is apparent by comparing it on the map with
a neighboring town Of full size,-with Lincoln
for example. In fact, it originally contained no
. more than thirteen thousand acres, Though its
boundaries have been materially enlarged by the
! addition TO it Of considerable part of the old
\ town Of Philadelphia. When the charter Of
=, Goshen was originally granted, lin 1872, it
was granted as if the town were six miles square
% in one body but that proving not to be the
case, there was granted tract Of land adjoining
Wheelock, containing 1883 acres and another adj
joining Plainfeld, and containing 2S2Sa acres. The
former was called Goshen Gore bv Wheelock.
and the latter Goshen Gore bv Painfeli In
= 1854, these Cores were severed from the
T. town Of Goshen by an act Of the legislature.
and in 1867 it was discovered that the harm
q less word '' sever was # power sufficient to
create new town, upon whi.h was worthily
bestowed the name Of Stsuuari.
There are three Avery's Cores in the State,
one each in Addison. Essez. and Franklin Conn

others, and perhaps more, but they have ceased

RApIcALrSM AND THE LABoFER.-A Ia
boring man writes the following to the
Bangor Democrat;
"For four DAYS work in 1899 could
buy barrel of excellent -four. For an
equally good barrel now l have to work
eight days:
For one days work in 1850 could
buy five pounds of tea. For the same
days work l can now buy but two pounds.
For on. days work then l could buy
thirty ponds of sugar. For day work
now | can get but fifteen pounds.
For days work in 1899 | could buy
eight pounds Of tobacco. For a day 5
work now | can buy but three pounds.
For days work in 1889 | could buy
fifteen pounds Of coffee. For day work
now can buy but five pounds.
For one months work in 1899 | could
clothe myself and family for one year
To do the same now | am obliged to work
two months and a half.
I might thus 90 through the whole list
of articles that laboring man and his
family consume The fact is that we are
permitted to enjoy but one-half Of the
fruits Of our labor the other half goes TO
the public treasury.
Is it not time for me and my fellow
laborcrs to look around Us, ascertain the
cause of this robbery Of labor, ana apply
the remedy!
The laboring man IS right when he says
that the people are permitted to enjoy but
one-half Of the fruits of their labor, but
he makes an error in stating that the
other half goes to the public treasury"
If this were 50, the public debt would al
ready be paid, but it is not SO 1t goes
to the support of the Southern negroes in
likeness and to keep the whites under the
hayoncts Of a huge standing army and to
enrich set Of rascal plundercrs

Speech without Words--Or How n
Burglar was Caught.

/ will tell You story of how / once
saved my life entirely through having
learned the deaf and dumb alphabet.
There were two little boys who used TO
come to stay with Frank and me, when
we were first married, and they could
neither hear nor speak.
They were deaf and dumb they could
not talk except with their fingers so
only ever so much quicker.
Frank and learned this foreign al
phabet on purpose that we might under
stand what they said They were quick
and clever; they could read and write,
draw and sew, and do many other things
which most boys would make very bad
hand at.
They could play at draughts and back
CANNON and chess, and at fox and geese
as well as any boys. They could almost
see what we said, although they could
not hear, with such quick, eager eyes did
they watch every movement of our lips.
We soon, however, got to talk as easily
with our fingers as.with our tongues and
sometimes when the lads were not with
us, Frank and | used TO converse in that
manner when were alone for practice.
1t happened upon one occasion that
he had to 90 TO London on important bus
mess; he was to have gone on an after
noon train but something delayed him,s
that he was not able to leave before the
night express.
l was not in very good health and re-
tired to my bedroom about two hours be
fore his departure; he promised, however
to come up and wish me good-by before
he started which was between twelve ano
one o'clock in the morning. The matter
which had called him away was connect
ed with the bank here, which had just
been burned and my husband, it seems
although / did not know it at the time
so great a secret had he endeavored tt
keep it-had many thousand pounds be
longing 10 the concern in his temporar,
possession, locked up in the iron safe il
our bedroom, where the plate was kept
Hey bank manager and responsible TO
it. 1t was cold time, and there was .
fire in the room, so bright and comfort
able that | was in no hurry to leave it t
get into bed, but sat up looking into tn
frey Goals, and thinking about all sort
Of things; upon the long journey Franl
had to take that night, and of how drear.
the davs would seem until he returned
and, in particular, how lonely shoul
feel in that great room all by mysel
when he should be away-for | was
dreadful coward. 1t was little afte
eleven o'clock when got into bed, but
did not feel the least inclined TO siee
even then. / knew that Frank would b

Poetry,
A Literary Curiosity.

The following remarkable little poem
is q contribution to the San Francisco
Times, from the pen Of Mr.. II. a. Dem
ing. The readers will notice that each
line is quotation from some one Of the
standard authors of England and Amer
lea. This is the result Of years labo-
rious search among the voluminous writ
ings of thirty-eight leading poets of the
past and present. The number of each
line refers to the author below -
Life.
l--Why all this toll for triumphs of an hour?
2-Liie's short summer, man iower;s
BY turns We catch the vital breath and die
A-Ihe cradle and the tomb, alas! SO nigh,
5--To be is better far than not to be-
e-Though all mans life may seem tragedy;
7-But Light cares speak when mighty griefs are
dumb,
s--Thc bottom is but shallow whence they come.
e--Your fate is but the common fate Of all;
10 unmngled joys, here, to no man befal!.
11-Nature to each allots his proper sphere,
l2-Forune makes folly her peculiar care;
ls-And throw a cruel sunshine on a fool;
l5-Live well, how long or short permit, to heaven,
l6-fhey who forget most shall be most forgiven.
l7-Sin may be elasped SO close we cannot see his
face
1s-Yile intercourse where virtue has not place;
la-Then keep each passion down, however dear,
20-Thou Pendulum betwixt smile and tear;
21-Her sensual sneers let aithless pleasure lay,
22- With craft and skill to ruin and betraY;
23- Soar not to high to fill, but stoop to rise,
24-We masters grow Of all We most despise.
25- O, then renounce that impious self-esteem;
26- Riches have wings and grandeur is q dream
a. Think not ambition wise because ts brave,
2S-The paths Of glory lead but TO the grave.
2e-what is ambition? tits glorious cheat
36-0nly destructive to the brave and great.
S1-What's all the gaudy glitters Of crown?
32-The way to bliss lies not on beds Of down.
33-How long we live not years but actions tell;
34-1hat live twice who live the first life well.
| s5-Make then, while yet ye may, your God you
friend,
8G-Whom Christians worship, yet not comprehend
S7--The trust that's given guard; and to yoursel
