the sheet-anchor of the feeble and dehilitat-

it is superseding every other stimulant. In
all climates, tropical, temperate or frigid,
it acts as a specific in every species of dis
order which undermines the bodily strength

How Joe Lost His Dinner.

In the town of Newcastle, in England,
there was man who went by the name of
Patient Joe. He worked in a coal mine
He was called Patient Joe, because if grief
came to him, he would say, "It's all for
the best; those who love God shall find
that all things work together for good"
If all things went well with him, Joe
would praise God; and if things went ill
with him, he would praise God, still, and
say, "God knows best what is for my good.
We must not judge of things by this life
alone, there is a life to come after this; and
things that may not seem good for as here
may be good for us there"
In the coal pit where Joe worked some of
the men would jjeer and laugh at him when
he said cts all for the best" There was
man of the name of Tim, who would
miss no chance to laugh at Joe.
One day as Tim and Joe were getting
ready to go down into the deep pit, Joe,
who had brought his dinner of bacon and
bread with him, laid it on the ground for
moment. Before he could take it up,
hungry dog seized it, and ran off.

a lucky victim. From what can learn,
it will be a long time before he can get
about again. The modesty of that tele-
gram to his wife, "slightly hurt" was
equaled only by the chivalrous generosity
that prompted it. AS the major was
borne through our streets on stretcher,
crowds gathered about him, attesting an
anxious solicitude which few men in our
community would extort; and by the
time he arrived at his home, over hum
dred of our citizens had gathered there,
all anxious to lend hand to relieve the
sufferer While at the depot, we observed
with peculiar pleasure the gentle care and
attention of those connected with the
train while moving the injured man.
There was an absence OF all roughness and
Impotence of manner usually incident to
such delays and Inconvenience which was
refreshing to witness.

A Hcartless Woman at West
POint--Ruin of a COnfid-
ing Young Man.

I never come to West Point without be-
ing reminded of young officer "a sur
geon) whom L met some years ago on the
Mexican steamer plying between San
Francisco and Mazatlan. He told me this
singular story late one night on the hur-
ricane deck, off the coast of Lower Cali
fornia. He had been West Pointer and
graduated with honor. A year before his
graduation he fell recklessly in love with
girl about his own age, with whom he
corresponded for six months. At the end
of that time she promised to marry him.
The correspondence continued. During
the next annual examination when he
graduated) she visited West Point,
as usual, with her mother, remain
ing until after the distribution of
diplomas, and treating him on two occas-
ions when he was able to meet her with
all the signs of affection. She suffered
him to kiss her when they were alone,
walked with him, and, though evading
the special topic of their promised marri-
age, received his devotion as matter of
course and without an attempt to check
it. He met her the third time on one of
the public walks, within an hour or two
after receiving his diploma. She was
leaning on the arm of a gentleman con-
siderably older than herself, whom, bow
ing with her customary enchanting smile,
she introduced to her cadet lover as her
husband My steamer acquaintance, who
looked, when encountered him away off
there on the coast of Mexico, much the
worse for dissipation and rough wear,
told me that that was too much for
him. He merely paused to ask
whether she was deceiving him, and lost

Curious Fact in TeIe,graphy.

A very curious fact has been noticed by
the telegraphers on the ISLAND OF 81.
Pierre, Mivuelon, which is the terminus
of the ocean section of the French At
lantic Cable. There are two telegraph
stations there, one belonging to the
French Transatlantic Company, and emf
ploying exceedingly delicate Instruments /;
the other belongs to an American Com
pany, which receives messages from New
foundland and then transmits them TO
Sidney. This line uses the Morse
signals and powerful battery. The in
struments of the French Company, 1t was
found, were seriously disturbed by earth
currents, the cause of which was at first
mystery. 1t was afterwards found ont
that the great battery used by the Ameri-
can Company CHI arged and discharged the
whole island as if it were a Leyden Jar.
1t was further discovered that by proper
manipulation of the French instr ,'ments
every message sent by the American COLI
pany could be read in the Transatlantic
office, the only connection between the
lines being the earth.

Pursuant to u call for preliminary
meeting, made b,y number of the prom IL
nent citizens of Middletown, for the pur-
pose of considering and agreeing upo n
exercises for an appropriate celebration OF
the Tooth year since the settlement of the
town II large and highly respectable au-
dience assembled in the Congregational
church, on Saturday P. NJ, 2Sth of May.
On motion the Hon. Barnes Frisble
was called to the chair, and A c. Rogers
duly appointed Secretary of the meeting.
Mr.. Frisbie, on taking the chair, made
few appropriate remarks resp Getting the
settlement of Middletown and its subse-
quent history. He alluded to its beauti-
full location, the fame of its sanitive
springs which was more and more bring
ing it into public notice, and closed by
urging q hearty cooperation in the pro-
posed centennial which he believed Just
and proper for the present gear.
The sense of the meeting was then TAX
en- on the propriety of holding such cele-
bration, and it was unanimously deter
mined upon. 1t was further agreed that
the centennial ceremonies should take
place simultaneously with the formal
opening of the hotel now approaching
completion, and the 18th of August next
was settled upon as the day for these joint
celebrations.
A committee consisting of Lucius Cope
land, A. W. Gray and w. H. Poor, was
on motion, appointed by the chair to no
inmate suitable officers and committees to
carry out the arrangements and prepare
tions for the exercises of the day and the
entertainment of the visitors.
During the absence of the committee,
Henry Clark of Rutland, was called upon
and addressed the meeting in his accus-
toned felicitous style. He referred to his
attachment to Middletown, his native
place, and the home of his ancestors, and
many of his friends; and feelingly re-
called early associations, the familiar
faces, and honorable forms of those re-
posing in the neighboring cemetery. He
had always cherished lively interest in
the prosperity of Middletown and felt
proud of It's future, now far more promis-
ing than he had imagined only a few
months ago. He urged the people to sus.
tain and cooperate with the Spring Com
pany. He heartily endorsed the move
ment on foot, and predicted that this GEN.

/ full and increased faith in the springs,

FUNERAL OF FIREMAN HASKELL
The funeral of Mr.. Elisha Haskell, the
fireman on engineer Hardy's train, who
died on Sunday morning from the injur-
les received at the accident on the Rut-
land Railroad, on Wednesday last, was
attended from his late residence, on
Church street, yesterday afternoon, by a
large concourse of citizens.
The funeral services were conducted by
the Rev. J. G.. johnson, of the CoDgrega-
tional church, who made a few brief and
appropriate remarks, in which he referred
to the lessons taught by scenes similar to
the one we were then witnessing. He
said that if human happiness depended
upon what we do and what we can do
and see here we would none of us be sat-
isfed We all felt that we had no endur-
ing home on earth, and that we realize
that there must be great change. OR
life is but preparatory for this change
and we feel that we can trust God here
after There is hope, deep in the heart,
that there is great Joy in store for us
after we have passed from this life. This
is what sustains us to-day, and upon all
similar occasions. God gave us family,
love and everything that is dear to us,
and has He not the right, when it please
Him, to take it again. He closed by ap-
pealing to all to rest and trust in God,
that though His ways and dealings may
seem hard and strange to us, yet we
know and believe that He doeth all things
well.
After prayer, the body was removed
to Evergreen Cemetery, and was there in
tered near the graves of Mr.. Croker and
Hardy.

Hilda, Spinning.
BY MRS. j. G. R. DoRR.

Spinning, spinning, by the sea,
AL the night!
On stormy, rock-ribbed shore,
Where the north-winds downward pour,
And the tempest fiereely sweep,
From the mountains to the deep,
Hilda spins beside the sea,
All the night
Spinning, at her lonely window,
By the sea!
With her candle burning clear,
Every night of all the year,
And her sweet voice grooming low,
Quaint old songs of love and woe,
Spins she at her lonely window,
By the sea!
On bitter night in March,
Long ago,
Hilda, very young and fair,
With a crown of golden hair,
Watched the tempest raging wild,
Watched the roaring sea-and smiled
Through that woful night in March,
Long ago!
What, though all the winds were out,
In their might
Richards boat was tried and true;
Stanch and brave his hardy crew;
Strongest he to do or dare.
Said she, breathing forth a prayer:
He is safe, though winds are out
In their might"
But, at length, the morning dawned,
Still and clear;
Calm, in azure splender, lay
All the waters of the bay;
And the oceans angry means
Sank to solemn undertones,
As, at last, the morning dawne1
Still and clear
With her waves of golden hsir
Floating Free,
Hilda ran along the shore,
Gazing off the waters DER;
And the fishermen replied
g He will come in with the tide"
As they saw her golden hair
Floating freei
All, he came in with the tide,
Came alone
Tossed upon the shining sands
CHASTITY face and clutchina; hands
Seaweed tangled in his hair
Bruised and torn his forehead fair
Thus he came in with the tide,
All alone
Hilda watched beside her dead,
Day and night.
OF those hours of mortal woe,
Human ken may never know;
She was silent, and his ear
Kept the secret, close and dear,
OF her watch beside the dead,
Day and night!
What she promised in the darknsss,
Who can tell
But, upon that rock-ribbed sAora
Burns a beacon evermore
And, beside it, all the night,
Inlda guards the lonely light.
Though what vowed she in tbs darkness
None may tell!
Spinning, spinning by the Sc a,
All the night
While her candle, cleaning wide
Der the restless, rolling tit le,
Guides with steady, chang eless ray,
The lone fisher up the ba'J,
Hllda spins beside the ca,
Through the nig hit!
Fifty years of patient spinning
By the sea!
Old and worn, she slice ps to-day,
While the sunshine 81 Ids the bay:
But her candle, shinu lg clear,
Every night of all thu year,
Still is telling of her sninninp
BY the sea
