TRE LAST NEGIsE OF TEE YEAR,

'Tis desolate out on field and mere,
and all about the moOrlands drcar;
The winds weird voices come and 20
" ith = murmureG sObbiag, faint and low,
Like tbs mOurner5 in 3 burial-crowd;
Zach wild-w uOd creature is in its lair,
For the cold il sharp in the freezing air,
And the earth is wrapped IL snowy shrOud-
Family shimmers the frozen stream,
And the hoGr-frOst shines witb ghostIy gleelIl,
For the depths of the vast uncloUded skies
Are filed with numberlcss starry eyes;
Through the b6ech-treeS' leafiess brauchery
Downward spGrk!cs the solemn light:
In the shadow and loneliness OF night
They are watching to see the old year die.
Into the dim realm of the Past
The gray old year is jOurneyIng fast:
WithOut-the nOO1DesIn s paiIid glow
Quiyers above his icy brow;
Within-the fire burns low ana red,
And the hanging hOily-bOUEhs and bays
Throw shadows strange III the HIckerIug blaze
On the pauclled walls and overhead
And now from the crypt-like gloom
And stiffness of the quiet room,
Across the red, uncertain light
Dim shapes are waVering to my sight
IN long procession: they speak no word;
There is no sound of echOing feet;
But cold and low my pulses beat,
BY the airy sense of their presence stirred.
They are the ghosts OF joys long dead,
or bright hours vanished, and fair scenes fed
OF hopes that sprung with the sprln8lnS year,
Only to fall when the leaf fell SerG;
And s0rrowfUl memories. pale and van,
With the cIiGgiHK dust OF departed Years
And my eyes are filled with regretful teaTs,
And my heart cries out for the days Ihat are
gone! Catholic Record.

There are women with hair that comes on,
And teeth that they have to put in,

Women who live by abusing each other,

BY AUGUSTA LARNED.

Mrs. Fairman was proud woman, #
she did enjoy misery, and she had no in
tention Of letting Miss Henslow know
that the family lived on cansilIe bread.
Obed had beon kicked in the chest by
Black Bill, who WAS trying to run with
the cart, and now he lay on the bed in
Ihe family bedroom, and Salome was with
lin. Mrs. Fairman had told the men
folI 8, more than q hundred times, that
they ought to sell Black Bill bat she
wasn't anybody to be considered, and no
heed was paid to what she said. There
WAS one satisfaction though; things had
turned out exactly as she predicted they
would, and that was the worst possible.
Now as Fhe stepped away from the
stove where she had been carefully cover
ing up the little gray loves with crash
towel, she glanced out Of the window ct
the spring pastures that were perlshlng
for the want of rain, and where the cattle
could scarcely nibble mouthfuE; and
beyond to the hard looking plowed fields
that showed only the faintest simmer OF
the biue green oats. The wells were Civ
ing out, and springs that never had been
known to fail.
Mrs Fairman's face had cut water
outline. 1t was rheumy aud pinchcd in
at the nostrils, snd tucked down at tie
corners of the mouth. Now, as she look
ed at the cold, bleak, brown fields taken
in connection with the canailie loayss be-
hind the stove. it seemed plain to her
mind that there was judgment upon
them and in somewhat vague way she
connected the judgment with Obed, "who
never had been under conviction since she
married him." and who had seldom
stepped his foot into the meeting house at
the Corners. She had read in the news,
paper that the drouth extended over the
whole of New England, and large por-
ton of the Western States but 1t did not
occur to her that Providence was going
considerably out of It's way to punish
Obed for his obstinacy and spiritual blind
ness.

NermOnts War OHM.

On the first day Of April, 1870, the bal
ance Of the war claim of this State against
the general government, which had been dis
allowed and suspended, was, according to the
report Of the Auditor of Accounts, $685.
s2l II. OF this sum about $50 900 was for
extra State pay Isl per month"; which had
enormously been presented to the govern
ment, and which cannot be reimbursed under
the present law $4,000 was for equipments
and horses furnished by Gov. Fairbanks to
commissioned officers, which cannot and should
not be reimbursed the State. Since April /
1870, Mr.. Ferrin the State Auditor of Ac-
counts, has presented supplementary install.
ment of Indebtedness against the government
amounting to $4,000 OF the whole claim
amounting to 1927 S2l II, something more
than $50 900 has been allowed the State dur
ing the past winter Mr. Ferrin having been
in Washington and presented the claim at
the departments in person.
Excluding the $4,000, which was erronc-
ously presented for state pay, and for officers
equipments, and about $4,000, which the
state has already received for the soldiers
barracks at St. Adams, and other places, the
total amount unadjusted at Washington at
the present time is s26, s2l.l7, no part OF
which can be allowed under the present rul-
ings of the departments and the present law
This balance is very much less than that of
any other state in the Union against the gov.
ernment, and this fact is due to the earnest
aud persistent efforts of Mr.. Ferrin, who has
made this claim subject of his especial
care, and has pressed it with great judgment
and yigor Mr.. Ferrin has been greatly as.
sisted in this matter by Maj. H. b. Bradley,
of Woodstock whose experience in matters
of this kind and personal knowledge of the
history of the accounts has been of great
benefit 10 him.
