Stanton, before the District Court, day or

it, none struck us so forcbly, both matter o
beauty and utility, As the inside finishing wood fol

thought to answer; and this grew scarce anc

neither plugs nor putty, and takes better polish

workmen will do we'll to examine this beautiful
work for themselves, where they will always find
Mr.. Perce attentive and happy to show them

AS to the outside, we had our residence at Sears
port, cap-boarded dozen years ago, with No.
satisfaction. Some predicted they would rot on
the shady and warp to death on the sunny side.
On all sides they are as perfect as when put On

paint-we think the clear spruce free from gun
has stronger affinity for it than the pine and dmost
woods have, and so is more durable. Such ut least

My story is over, gentlemen. There is no

was found guilty and that he died by the

soothe his last moments in this world by
taking on myself the arrangement of some
of his private affairs, which, while they re-

him, he thought of the young man whose
humble fortunes he helped to build whose
heartfelt gratitude he had fairly won; whose

A WIDOW "YOUNG IN HER WEEDS.

Her shawl was as sable as night,
And her gloves were as dark as her shawl;
And her jewels, that flashed in the night,
Were black as funeral pail
Her robe had the hue of the rest
(IIow nicely it fitted her shaped,
And the grief that was heaving her breast
Boiled over the pillows of Grape,
I couldn't help thinking the beauty,
In mourning the loved and the lost
Was doing her conjugal duty
Entirely regardless of cost.

In constructing a new street in Paris, a
cemetery used in the days of the first revolu-
ton has been uncovered. Among other hui
man remains was found a remarkably beau
tiful head OF woman, in a wonderful state
of preservation. The fair hair still adhering g
to the skull bears the coiffure in fashion in
1894 with twisted and powdered tresses.
There is no doubt that the head belonged to
one of the victims of the revolutionary tri-
bunal, but it is singular circumstance that
the eyes are covered with black frontlet.
AS no mention is made in the chronicles of
the time of any one among those executed
being blindfolded before mounting the scaf-
fold, this discovery has given rise to much
speculation and conjecture.
