HOW BEAUTIFUL rs THE SNOW.

low BEAUTIFUL Is THE SNOW.
BY MTGNoNETTE
DreamlIy falls the feathery snow;
Ihe light and the shadow are one:
only the Frightening fire on the hearth
Tells that the night is begun.
over the pictured wall it filings
Its fame-light, bright and bold,
And tnts her hair who stands at the pane,
With its touch of warmer gold.
About her the window d1apery falls
Like sra-foam woven to lace.
The wedding ring is bright a star
On her hands uplifted grace.
Watching the twilight's dreamy descent
The twilight brings him, you know
Softly the words from her happy lips:
''How beautiful is the snow :"
Out in the twilight, away from the hearths,
The light and the shadow are one,
Only the chill at her wavering heart
Tells that the Night has begun.
A shadow, not of the night on her face;
light not of day, in her eyei [wear
That smile on her lips which they sometimes
Whom the world thrusts aside to die.
Far and afar fades the life she has led,
The city, the small behind;
Around her the silent darkness falls
With touches so cold, so kind.
Over her creeps the dainty shroud;
blessing it is, to know Tlast-
That something so pure has found her at
Chow beautiful is the snowl''

tween her hands, and was found in this po-
sition by her parents on their return, burn
ed to death.

Improved Match-Making.

An improvement in the process of match
making between men and women is pro-
posed by the Revolution, founded upon
the custom of certain countries in the North
of Europe This custom is for the mar
riageable youth of both sexes to be be call
ed together at stated seasons, when each
one writes on paper the name of the indi-
vidual of the opposite sex whom she or he
desires to marry. The papers are then
committed in confidence to committee of
two discreet persons, and if, on looking
over the names, any two are found to have
declared a mutual regard, the fact is an
nounced, and the marriage follows; while
in every other case, where no reci procal at
taohment appears, the papers ale destroyed
without divulging the secret intrusted to
them. It is to be questioned whether there
is any need of this expedient in American
society. Our boys and girls, we appre-
hend, know how to let their preferences
appear plainly enough, and there is sell
dom any mistake as to what they are.

Amos Kendall is dead.

DEATH OF A MGsER.-An old mar,
Lyman Allen, was found dead in his
bed at Taylor's Hotel, Jersey City, on
Thursday. Very little was known a
bout him, and though troubled with a
complication ofphy steal infirmities, he
never had any body to attend him.
1t was generally believed he was very
poor, as he always dressed shabby, and
lived at the cheapest rate. On exam
alton OF the property in his room,
however, 100000 in money was dis
covered, with securities for large sums
elsewhere. A will was also found dated
fifteen years ago, bequeathing his entire
property to his sister and her children.
His sister and two nephews came from
Newton, Conn, to claim the property.
They said he was born in Connecticut
in 1871, and had many years ago been
a commission merchant in New York,
amassing a large fortune, which he had
always kept to himself. His reputa-
tion was that of a miser, evidences of
which were abundant enough in his
bedroom. The sight of the ragged
garments in which he had clothed
himself brought tears to the eyes of
his sister.

spring of 1867 an attempt to assassin

HUNTINGDON AND BROAD TOP
RAILRoAD.-The Llq,tirer of last week
has the following article on the above
road and the advantage of an extension
of the same TO this place, which we
heartily endorse, and lay it before
our readers:
The present and increasing prosperi-
ty Of the Huntingdon and Broad Top
Railroad is no doubt largely promoted
by the present good management OF
its President, 3. Andrews Knight, but
its most promising prospective source
of prosperity Is in the development OF
the mining interests on the line OF the
road, and its extension to the ore re-
gions of Bedford and beyond. The
recent development of rich and almost
inexhaustible beds of iron ore in this
vicinity present great inducements for
the extension of the road. We know
of nothing that would contribute more
to the permanent prosperity of this
road. 1t would at once develop large
manufacturing interests and greatly
increase both freights and travel over
the whole length of the road. We
trust the President and Directors will
give this subject their early attention.
