Nursery BusSn ess.-We are vefy glad to learn that MT. W. T. Saunders of Lakeville has engaged in tue nursery business on his own responsibility, having made arrange ments with Steven Hoyt & Sons, New Ca naan, Ct, to get of them his fruit trees, etc., etc., at the lowest living prices. The people of this region, 50 we'll acquainted with MT. Saunders as they are, will be glad to give him their patronage, and make his enterprise among us success. Why don't our cemetery people accept of his exceed ingly liberal offer of furnishing trees, shrubs, etc. :? It would seem as though they could not expect to do better.
 Housatonic Ratzrvad Items.-The Hou- sstonic Railroad Company have built in their shops in Bridgeport since the first of last January, nine,yfour freight cars. They build all their own passenger coaches, and in this department their cars are ample evidence of their success, as we have many times heard it remarked concerning them, that no more elegant coaches can be found on any road than on the Housatonic road. The company make no pretensions to building locomotives, yet they make practice of having one in the works, and when repairing is not very driving, some of the hands are employed on the new ma chine. The first locomotive ever actually built by the company was completed few months since and is called the Useful" It is small machine and is doing service on the Danbury Branch of the H. R. R. Last Saturday the company shipped boil CT of their own construction, to the loco motive works in Patterson, N. J., to be put into another new locomotive for their road. Thus it is, slowly but surely the company is becoming every year more and more ln- dependant in the construction of their own rolling stock, and when located in their ex tensive works in Falls Village, We shall look before many years for the entire con- structicn of all their locomotives. MT. Charles Booth, who was an engineer on one of their evening passenger trains, has just left the road to take position in the Draughting room department of the Rog- CTS locomotive works in Patterson, N. J. as draughtsman. Mr. Booth always had leaning toward being 6raughtsman and is naturally an adept at the business. This is regarded as quite promotion. He was considered very skillful engineer by the the company, and they regret the necessity of parting with him. but talent. skill and ingenuity, constantly calls on its votary to Ego up higher"

it are held entirely clear of it by huge iron braces and plates. The boiler for SUD- plying the tweir pipes with water weighs about four tons. The buildings about the stack are very large and roomy, and built in the most substantial manner, much at tention being given in their construction to the arrangement for ample room for the workmen. which is certainly very desir- able feature in the construction of fur mace. Some idea of the magnitude of the works will be obtained by those conversant with furnaces and their construction, when we tell them the height of the top or stack 1 house, which is about 70 feet. In the con- struction of this furnace, there seems to have been nothing left undone to make it the best finished as well as the most sub stantial furnace in the country. Near these new works are being built two large store houses for charcoal, which will hold about 45, ,O0O bushels of charcoal leach. These with the three old ones with capacity of ,000 or 90,000 each, are thought sufficient accommodations in that line for the pres ent. As this work appears every way to be 50 well done, it is no more than right that people should know to whom sense of the credit is due. Mir. l. N. Bartram of Shar- on is the man who has superlntended the masonry and Mir. H. c. Stevens has the charge of the wood work. As we are get ting slightly personal in this item, we might as we'll say with the rest, that Mr. John Fry, the veteran founder, appears as much pleased with the new furnace, over which in connection with the others, he is to have charge, as boy with new pair of red-top boots.

Nazareth.

Rev. j. B. Dunn, writing to the Bos.
ton Traveller, gives the following de-
scription of Nazareth:
The situation of Nazareth is very
pleasant, the people are dressed better,
and the women handsomer than any we
have yet seen in the East. What pity
we must add the streets are the dirtiest,
an open sewer running through many of
them. We of course visited the house
where it is said Jesus and his parents
lived; also, Joseph's workshop, where
we saw pictures Of Mary and her son,
dressed in modern costume, and Joseph
at work before a carpenters bench, on
which lay tools of modern invention.
Toward sunset we ascended the hill, from
the top of which are to be had the finest
views Of any in Palestine. On reach.
ing our tent we found our favorite mule
teer, Safada, and his brother Francis
both of whom are Mohsmmedans, had
given an Arab severe thrashing be-
cause the Arab cursed the Christians
and our party.
One of the most interesting sights to
be seen at Nazareth is the crowd of
young women and girls that between the
hours of FIVE and eight in the evening
flock to the public fountain, with their
pitchers on their heads, to draw water.
The night speEt here was memorable
one, for scarce had we retired to our
tents when a small army of big mesqui-

THE HARBoR LIGHTS.
n. WHITMORE,
Publisher and Proprietor.
BY JOHN W. CHADWICK.


Just at the harbor's mouth she stood;
Behind her was the beacon white,
Which sends its kindly warning forth
From evening shade till morning light
Above her was the golden sun;
More golden shone her tossing hair;
The oceans azure, at her feet.
With her blue eyes could not compare.
Full sheer the cliff whereon she stood,
And, though her eyes were downward cast,
] still could row my boat anear
And sec her glory as passed.
Patiently there she watched her line,
That sank among the golden weed,
"WhO would not be fish? I" thought /, =.
by such sweet hands, if doomed to bleed. =.
Sweet hands. but browner than the rock
Whoreon her pretty feet had place;
Which, browner yet, laid hold Of IL
With naked purity and grace.
One day dared to speak to her;
What have you caught to-day, my dear? "
Nothing but just a thought or two;
More thoughts than fish come swimming
here"
I" And have you caught the thought, my dear,
That love you and you love me?
| dared not speak the question out;
Such joys as that might never be.
SO every day pass her by
But cannot bring my lips to say:
" My heart is caught upon your hook.
And cannot tear itself away.
Why should sneak? She would not slip
From off the rocks into my boat,
And say, "As thus foreverermOre
Let us together sit and float"
She would not love-'tis not her time;
But naught that she can do or say
Can rob me of my right divine
To loyRand worship her alway.
o, maiden at the harbor's mouth
By day, and with their distracting light.
Your eyes will wreck more venturous hearts
Than ever beacon saved by night.

"A CRUEL JUSTIFICATION"
The Daughter of Holland House
and the Romance of Her Birth.

The Daughter of Holland House,
and the Romance of Her Birth.
From an occasional Paris correspondent
Your correspondents in London have
no doubt long since furnished you with
accounts of the young lady known in
that city as Miss Fox, the daughter of
Holland House." and Prince Louis Of
Lichtenstein-a wedding celebrated with
unusual magnifcence in the presence of
many members of England's royal fami-
ly and of the creme de la creme of the
aristocracy Of Great Britain and Of the
Continent. But apropos, or rather NAL
apropos, of this notable event, / find in
the Figaro the following amazing story,
which | copy under all reserve"
although the writer in the Figaro guar
antees the absolute truth of it, He says
Twenty years ago young wife, ten
derly loved by her husband, Nine. the
Marquise of Montaign, died in giving
birth to daughter The Marquis, dis
tracted, full of grief for the loss of his
wife, free from all paternal affection, so
at least goes the legend, refused to ac-
cept the infant, the indirect cause of his
chagrin, and baDished it to Brittany, in
hospital for foundlings. AkAA-A 2
while these events were passing, an
English lady, Lady Holland, who passed
through Brittany at this moment, learn
ed this history, and wished to rear this
poor orphan so cruelty deserted by its
father. "a
"The birth of this infant, the strange
ness of its reputation, as blameworthy
as thoughtless, moved the heart of this
benefactress, who came to reclaim the
child, engaging herself to provide for
her education and for her establishment
in harmony with her name and origin
when the moment for that should ar
rive.
Lady Holland has kept her word, for
to day the infant, abandoned in hos
pital of the province, has become a
young lady of the world and Of the first
rank, and has come to espouse, thanks
to her birth, the young Prince Of Lieh-
tenstein, under the name, well contriYed,
of Mile. de Montaign.
However to arrive at the realization
of this marriage, it was necessary to
prove the act of birth and the act of
baptism of the infant. I.
but IL mas arrived Jbdb lne news VI
this union is new to the ears Of Monsieur
the Marquis Of Montaign, and that he
remains stunned by learning this his
tory, of which he and Lady Holland are
the absolute dupes.
"In fine, Monsieur the Marquis of
Montaign, far from repulsing the infant
of whom the birth was to him 50 dear,
has been, on the contrary, particularly
attached to her, and has never been
separated from her. His daughter, his
real daughter, has come herself to be
married a few months since, to NJ. de
Lamotte; and God knows il her father
be not astonished TO learn that singular
history, Of which he cannot see either
the source or the aim. In any case, NJ.
de Montaign appears determined to find
the authors OF this cruel mystifcation
and insult to his dignity and his paternal
affections" r "a.
This is very droIl. but is it not, most
probably, a canard most unsubstantial9 ?

toes came down upon US and laid siege
TO our persons, nor could we drive them
away till morning called US forth to begin
another days journey--a day during
which we rode through part Of the valley
of Esdraelon, crossed the Kishon, where
Baars prophets were slain, ascended
Carmel to the supposed point of sacri-
flee, where we spent some time in trying
to reconcile the Bible and our guide
books, but failed, when, putting the lat
ter in our saddle-bags and taking the
former in our hands, we continued our
explorations. Here we met Prof. Mead,
of Andoyer engaged in the same work
Of exploration. Leaving Carmel we
rode across the plain to Haifa, where,
after bathing in the Mediterranean, we
passed the night under wet tents, and on
borrowed beds, as our baggage mules, on
crossing the Kishon, had their feet taken
from under them and the baggage upset
and thoroughly soaked, as some Of the
things to day testify.
