THIS road is now completed to West Baldwin
and trains running to that point. SO miles from
Portland. Beyond West Baldwin the road is graded
to Fryeburg, 80 miles from Portland, and the rails
will be laid to that point as early IN the spring az
the weather will permit. From Fryeburg the road
is under contract to Conway, N. H.. to which point
trains will run in July. 1871,
The road has thus far been built and eouipped
from cash subscriptions TO the Capital Stock: but TO
complete it to Bartlett N. H., and to provide addi-
tional equipment for its incI cIeasng business, the
Company has issued bonds to the amount OF $780,
QUO, secured by mortgage OF its entire property to
the following Trustees:
WOODBURY. DAVIS,
SAMUEL f. SPRING,
WESTON +. MILL1KEN.
We now offer these Bonds for sale and confidently
recommend them as safe and profitable invest
ment for these reasons:
1. Low Price. Atthe present value of
is. Bonds, these Bonds payl one per cent,
more interest in gold on the investment
2. Ample Security. The ehtire mort
gage upon the road when completed to!Bart-
lett will be only $12 500 per mile, a smaller
incumbrance than upon any other railroad
than the value of its rails and eouinment n t'''

STILL ANOTHER CANCER REMEDY.-"A

cases of cancer, and have failed in none. L
Will venture the assertion that by means

cured some fifteen cases of cancer that nv
brother physicians had abandoned as incura-

the superior to 'cundurango' in its wondrous

the red clover, all that is necessary is to rem

PHGBE CARY, who died at Newport, Mon
day night, has always been associated in lit
erary fame with her sister Alice, who was
summoned hence few months before. She
was born on a farm in the Miami Valley, near
Cincinnati, in 1924. Like her sister, she ear
ly devoted herself to literary pursuits, and
in 1850 appeared the "Poems of Alice and
Phoebe Cary" the result of their joint labors.
Two volumes of her own poems have since
been published, and her frequent contribu-
tions to the periodical press have kept her
name familiar to the reading public. One OF
her hymns has become standard fayorite in
Christian worship. The following are three
of the stanZas:
One sweetly solemn thought
Comes to me o'er and Ger:
I'm nearer my home to day
Than l ever have been before;
Nearer nv Fathers house,
Where the many mansions be;
Nearer the great white throne,
Nearer the crystal sea;
Nearer the bound OF life,
Where we lay our burdens down,
Nearer leaving the cross,
Nearer gaining the crown.

BAD TAsTE.-Why are houses, and more
especially farm-houses in the United States
so universally painted white? A neat white
house, half hidden by the foliage of surround
ing trees, is often pretty object, and in per-
feet good taste: but grim rectangular struct-
ure, standing unrelieved, as too many houses
do. receives but an addition to its uglines by
the coat of glazing paint which covers it. A
ride through the farming districts of our
Western States is too suggestive of passage
through one vast graveyard, with tombstones
set at stated intervals. These whited sepul'
chres could be made more slightly if painted
in any other color. Neutral colors are rarely
offensive and are easily obtained; only the
inclination to conventionality causes the
present style, and in this matter good taste
Should not be influenced by the many ex-
isting bad examples, save as they show what

ARRANGEMENT OF RooMs.-Give your
apartments xpression-character Rooms
which mean nothing are cheerless indeed.
Study light and shade, and the combination
and arrangement of drapery, furniture and
pictures. Allow nothing to look isolated, but
let everything present an air of sociability.
Observe room Immediately after a number
of people have left it, and then, as you ar.
range the furniture, disturb as little las possi-
BILE the relative positions of chairs in a con-
versational attitude, ottomans and sofas.
Place two or three chairs in a conversational
attitude in some CHEEKY corner, an ottoman
within easy distance of Isofa, a chair near
your stand OF stereoscopic views or engrav-
ings, and one where a good light will fall on
the book which you may reach from ta-
BILE near. Make little studies of effect which
shall repay the more than usual observer and
do not leave it possible for one to make the
criticism which applies to so many homes,
even of wealth and elegance-"Fine carpets,
handsome furniture, few pictures and ee-
CANT nothings-but how drearyw The chill
ing atmosphere is felt at once, and we cannot
divest ourselves of the idea that we must
maintain stiff and severe demeanor, to ac-
cord with the spirit of the place. Make your
homes, then, so easy and cheerful that il we
visit you, We may be joyous and unrestrained,
and not feel ourselves out of harmony with
our surroundings.-Art Reriel1.
