was to pass through the tailor's, climb the

passed the goods up through the slylight

Heartbreak Hill.
BY CELIA THAXTER. 4.

In Ipswich town, not far from the sea,
Rises a hill which the people call
Hearbreak HILL and its history
Is an Old, old legend, known to all.
The Selfsamc dreary, WORKOUT tale
Told by all peoples in every cline,
Still to be tod till the ages fall
And there comes pause in the march Of
time.
IT WAS sailor who won the heart
OF an Indian maiden, 1.-the and young;
And She saw him over the sea depart,
While sweet in her ear his promise rung
For he cried as he kissed her wei eyes dry.
"l'll come back sweetheart. keep your talth
She said, I'm watch while the moons 90 by.
Her love was stronger than HE or dealh
SO this poor dusk Aradne kept
Her watch from the hilltop rugged and steep
Slowly the empty moments crept
While she studied the changing face OF the
deep.
Fastening her eyes upon every speck
That crossed the ocean within her ken
Might not her lover be walking the deck,
Surely and swiftly returning again:
The Isles of Shoals doomed, lonely and dim,
In the northwest distance, far and gray.
And on the horizons uttermost rim
The low rock-heap of Boon Island lay
And north and south. and west and east,
Stretched sea and land in the binding light,
Till Evening fell and her vigil ceased
And many a heart-glow lit the night.
To mock those set and Oh terins eyes
Fast growing wild as her hope went out.
Hateful seemed earth, and the hollow skies,
Like her own heart, empty OF aught but
doubt.
Oh, but the weary, mercess days,
With The sun above, with the sea Affair."
No change in her fixed and wistful gaze
From the morning red to the evening star
Oh, the winds that blew, and the birds that
sang.
The Gains that smiled and the storms that
rolled
The bells from the town beneath that rang
Through the summers heat and the winter
cold
The flash of the plnngng surges white,
The soaring gulls wild, bodng cry
She was weary of all there was no delight
IN heaven or earth and she longed to die.
What was it to her though the Dawn should
paint
With delicate beauty skies and seas?
But the sweet sad, sunset splendors FAINT
Made her soul sick with memories.
Drowning in sorrowful purple IA sail
In distant east, where shadows grew.
Till twilight shrouded it cold and pale
And the tide of her anguish rose anew.
Like slender statue carved of store,
She sat, with hardly motion or breath.
She Wept no tears and she made no moan,
But her love was stronger than life or death.
He never came back! Yet faithful still
She watched from The hilltop her life away.
And the t0wnsfok christened it Heartbreak Hill.
And it bears that name to this very day.

MONUMENT TO HANNAH DUSTIN A
| special despatch to the Boston Herald says
| that proposal is on foot to build a monu-
inent 70 the memory OF Hannah Dustin on
| the island in Baskerville at the junction of
the Contoocook and Merrimac rivers the
same spot ON which she killed nine
Indians in old frontier times, and made
her escape from captivity; and that gen
| tlemen who have interested themselves in
the matter have procured q deed of that
! portion OF the island east of the Northern
Railroad, from which a good view of the
rising ground on which it is proposed to
erect the monument is seen.
| Hannah, the wife of Thomas Dustin as
the story goes was captured by the lndi-
ans at Haverhill, Mass, on the 18th of
| March, 1897, and carried off with her
infant child only seven days old and its
nurse. The babes brains were dashed
out against tree. She was taken to the
island at the mouth of the Contoocook
river being forced to travel on foot
through the wilderness III her weak state
and at a most incienent season. There
| were twelve Indians and with them an
English boy named Lanardson, who had
been prisoner year. Learning that the
| IHttlluS NUlli soon ueDall ZOE Il u!SldHl
| settlement, taking her with them and that
! she would be made to submit to Indian
customs, Mrs. Dustin plotted the dcstguc-
ton OF all her ptors--takin@ the nurse
and the boy into her council While the
Indians were fast asleep, the ttmahaWES
OF the red men were taken from them and
every one Of them killed rs they lay
| around their fire. Mrs Dustin took away
the gun and tomahawk of her captor and
owner, and She and her fellow fugitives
gathered up what provisions they could
find, and scuttled AL the canoes but one,
in which they left the island She went
back, however and sealped her victims,
and with the bloody trophies OF their feat
| they ~2t out and in due time reached
Iiaverh,il in safety Mrs Dustin's extra
ordinary decd hes forncd material for
historian, poet and roluancist 4nd il is
well and proper that her name and accom-
pishment should be perpemated in the
way proposed.

Leaviti Alleys Acquittal.
BOSTON, Feb !.

DUBLIN, rep. 10.
In commenting upon the Alley trial the
Boston Advertiser says: ''Ten DAYS ago
no statement could have appeared more
incredible than that Leavitt Alley would
escape the conviction Of murder. From
the day when the mangled remains of the
murdered man in their ignominious pack
ing We're found, the case attracted a de
gree of attention not accorded to ordinary
homicides. The singular analogies to the
famous Parkman murder, which were
eloquently dwelt upon by the attorney
general in his closing argument, and were
vividly presented at almost every stage Of
the pursuit and trial, gave il extraordinary
interest. The community becoming "a
miliar with the important links in the
chain OF circumstantial evidence against
the accused, felt pretty thoroughly per
suaded OF his guilt in advance, and more
inclined to regard his trial rather as an
unnecessary formal preliminary to his
execution, than rs an ordeal which might
possibly prevent that result Nor did this
belief lose strength as the case for the
prosecution was put smoothly and clearly
in. But when the lips OF the witness for
the defence were unsealed a rapid change
of opinion ensued. By Saturday night
people were as well convinced that Alley
would escape as they had previously been
that he would be hanged. His counsel
had prepared their case with great care
aud cleverness and managed it with rare
skill and judgment.'
The particulars Of the deliberations of
the jury during the four hours they were
out, it is impossible to ascertain, though
newspaper reporters endeayored to learn
them. 1t was remarked by one of the
panel that the gentlemen had pledged
themselves not to divulge their proceed
ings. Enough was said, however, to in
dictate that six or eight ballots We're had,
there being a large majority for acquittal
on each ballot. The jury had been in the
custody OF the sheriff since O'Clock on
the morning on the Sd inst. ten days.

There comes a hideous story from
California of fight to the death be
tween two butchers with knives, which
is no less remarkable for the insignifi-
cance of its cause than the formal and
busincss-like manner in which the affair
was managed. Failing to settle II trifing
disagreement concerning their work by
means of fisticutfs and hard words, an
adjournment was taken to the neighbor-
ing meadow, where, with their compan-
ions of the slaughter-hou forming the
traditional ring, they sought a definite
and effective settlement with the
weapons of their calling. A scene more
homogeneous with our boasted civiliza-
ton could not be conceived than that
presented on this soggy, mosquito-r rid
den meadow, where two American citi-
zens were flashing long and sharp knives,
making vicious slashcs at such portions
of each others anatomy rs their training
in the abattoir told them were the most
vulnerable and acknowledging the ap-
plause of the spectators bya more lively
delivery of their blows. When the ter
rible blade sank to the hilt in the body
of one of the combatants, and the other
fled, gashed and bleeding, the momcn-
tous question on which the tw, in had
disagreed was doubtless considered set
tied.

will wager a suit of Sunday clothes
against a silk dress, with any gentleman
in the State, that she can do just what
we say, both parties to go into the same
Office, and one in which they are both
unacquainted, and to receive from the
hands of the foreman of the Office copy
of which neitherhad any previous knowl-
edge. Any gentleman who has the money
to spare and wishes to invest it III the
purchase of a silk dress, is solicited to
accept the above challenge"
