THE HOUSE OLE DEATH.
By LOUISE CHANDLER MoULroN


(Col. John Hay, in his 'sCastilion Days.
tells the story of . noble duke who shut VI
his stately mansion when his dead wife wa
carried out of it, and left it to fall into deca,
in the midst Of surrounding life.
Not hand has lifted the latchet
Since she went out OF the door;
No footstep shall CT oss the threshold,
Since she can come in no more.
There is rust upon locks and hinges,
And mold and blight on the walls,
And silence fAints in the chambers,
And darkness waits in the halls;
Waits as all things have been waiting,
Since she went, that day of spring;
Borne in her paid sRlendor
To dwell in the courts OF the King;
With lilies on brow and bosom,
With robes of silken sheen,
And her wonderful frozen beauty
The lilies and silk between.
Red roses she left behind her,
But they died long, long ago;
Twas the odeFous ghost of the blossom
That seemed through the dusk to glow.
The garments she left mock the shadows
With hints Of womanly grace,
And her image swims in the mirror
That was SO used to her face.
The birds make insolent music
Where the sunshine riots outside,
And the winds are merry and wanton,
With the summers pomp and pride.
But into this desolate mansion
Where love has clOsed the door,
Nor sunshine nor summer shall enter,
Since she can come In no more.

Deaih of Sanford Howard.

Many of our readers will be panied to
hear of the death of the Hon. Sanford
Howard, Secretary of the Michigan State
Board of Agriculture. He died of par
alysis at Lansing Mich, on the 8, Of this
month.
Mr.. Howard was born at Easton, Mass.
August 9TH 1905, and has been constant
ly engaged in agricultural pursuits or in
the dissemination of information for the ad-
vancement of improvement in agriculture,
since his youth.
Especially as judge, and improver
of farm stock did Mr.. Howard excel.
Probably in a general sense, Of all kinds
and breeds no man in this country was
his equal. Vermont has always been un-
der obligations to Mr.. Howard, for the
earnest manner in which he has advocat-
ed the claims of her Morgan horses upon
the public,a not little of the popular
ity of Vermont horses abroad, is due to
his interest in them. To Mr.. Towards
Judgment and information in the selection
of cattle abroad for importation, is this
country most deeply indebted, as all ac-
cord to him the credit of the selection
and purchase of the herd Of Ayshires inn
ported by Mr.. Peters of Southboro Mass,
in 1853, and still regarded by all breed
ers as by far the best importation ever
made from Scotland.
Mr.. Howard was well known in Ner-
mont by his connection "Editorally" with
the Maine Farmer, the Albany Cultivator
and Country Gentleman, and the Boston
Cultivater. Also as contributor of
valuable papers to the Report of the Ag-
ricultural Departments at Washington,
and the editor Of the first Volume Of the
Devon Herd Book.
In 1857 he was employed by the Mass
achusetts Society for the Promotion of
Agriculture, and several wealthy gentle
men of that State, to go to England, Scot
land, ireland, and France, for the purpose
of selecting and importing the best speci-
mems of cattle and horses of several
breeds. On this trip he had the oppor-
tunity Of examining the best stock in the
old world, and, from this time to the close
of his life, became standard authority
on blooded stock.
AS q man Mr.. Howard was honest
earnest, and true, earnest in the advocacy
of his convictions of right, true in his
friendships, true in his relations to the
world, and most true in his relations to
his family, they alone will know what a
kind and affectionate Husband and Faith.
er they have lost.
We fear that while others may have
realized fortunes through his judgement
and knowledge, his was of too public
spirited and unselfsh a nature to perpet-
uate his memory by large estate.
