THE EVERYDAY DARLING.

she Is neither a beauty nor genius,
And no one would call her wise;
In crowd of other women
She would draw no strangers eyes;
Even we who love her are puzzled
To say where her preCiOusness lies;
She is just an everyday darling:
In that her preciousness lies.
She is sorry when others are sorry,
SO 5weetly. one likes TO be sad;
And if people around her are merry,
She is almost gladden. than glad.
Her sympathy i the swiftest,
The truest heart ever had:
She Is just an everyday darling.
The dearest that hearts ever had.
Her hands are so white and little
1t seems as If it were wrong
They should ever work for a moment,
And yet they are quick and strong.
If any dear one needs helping,
She will work the whole day long,
The precious everyday darling.
Every day and all day long
She Is loyal as knights were LOYAL.
In the days when no knight lied,
And tor sake OF love or of honor,
it need be, a true knight died;
But she dreams not she is Drawer
Than the woman by her side,
ms precious everyday darling.
W no makes sunshine at our side.
All, envy her, Beauty and Genius,
And women the world calls wise;
The utmost Of all your triumphs
Would be empty in her eyes.
10 love and be loved is her kingdom;
In this her happiness lies.
God bless her. the everyday darlingi
In this her p-eCi0usuess lies.

THE COMING WINTER.

We are having, just now, in this part of
New England, very beautiful autumn
weather every way appreciable to the man
of work or leisure. But soon the scene
will change. Already the forest leaves be-
gin to redden and fall. Ere many moons
shall wax and wane, the streams will be
bound in icy letters and the warm, rich
garniture of the emerald will fade to
frosty carpets of ice and snow. A long
winter is before us, and will soon be upon
rs.
Unhappily, the business of the whole
country, from causes which it is here use
less to name, has been greatly depressed,
and as whole improbable, for the past
year. Few have made money. Capt.
tai Invested in business has returned TO
owners little or no profit. Labor has not
been in urgent demand, nor have its re-
wards been so ample as in times gone by
Many of the necessities of life-such as
food and fuel-still remain at high prices,
But little work, especially in such a region
as ours, can be done in the winter. Winter,
with most laboring people, spends what
the summer earns, even when the sum-
mcr leaves the toiler full handed as
recompense for his work. He is not full
handed now. In many of our cities, the
prospect for the laborcr is far from invit-
ing. Laborcrs are often improvident in
times of plenty. But they SILVER with the
cold, beg or starve, when out of work and
out of money. Strikes have been the
curse Of many laborng man. And no
man is 30 big fool as the one who will
not earn dollar day when he can
unless he can be the master of his
employer, and dictate terms to him, and
earn two dollars or none And so they
spend the little they have and earn moth
ing to take its place or provide for the fu-
ture. The approaching winter will find
many such-an unusual number-al over
the land. And many persons and families
ordinarily well to do must encounter the
coming winter with less than the usual
provision to meet its demands.
Who can best advise the people under
these circumstances We hesitate to give
our suggestions, and yet we feel in duty
bound to offer them, hoping If others lave
better ones, to give the world the benefit
of their superior wisdom.
Let the rich, we would say then, and
the business men of the country, open and
keep open all the business and opportuni-
ties for work they possibly can, even if
not specially source of profit. 1t is a
truer philanthropy to open opportunities
for people to earn their own bread than to
dole 1t out to them as beggars by even the
willing hand of charity.
Let the poor, or those who work daily to
earn their daily bread, be content to serve
their employers faithfully and well at
moderate wages, if better pay is not of
fercd or cannot be got Laborers are often
unjust to their employers. They claim to
know just how much their employers can
afford to pay them, when in fact their EN-.
ployers often work harder than they do.

ness from becoming their ruin. Many a

his capital, has earned more clear and

We published card yesterday from the
engineer and conductor of the train of cars
which uDhappily caused the death of Mr..
Hyde, III which they claim, in opposition
to other statements that the usual signals
of warning were sounded at the Hubbard
ton crossing We, of course, in this case,
know nothing of the facts, but we do know
from careful observation, that these signals
are occasionally omitted by engineers, and
we know that conductors omit occasion
ally to call out the names of stations as
they approach or stop at them, sometimes
to the great Inconvenience of passengers,
when they, doubtless, would be willing to
swear they did not omit to do this, and
perhaps, honestly so. Not long ago, a no.
table case was heard in our own county
court, where the evidence of the railroad
employees IN respect to the giving Of sig
nails of warning, was fatty contradic,cd by
good witnesses, who were merely lockers
There is one efficient way to dispose Of all
this conflicting testimony, litigation and
hard feeling, and that is to dispose of all
occasion for it. Let railroads make their
crossings safe for all, young, old, infrm,
deaf and blind,--in word, do their duty.

One of these, proceeding from his party

bound to say word in his behalf. This is
thc NuiiSc VI COWHTulCc Ill lnc particular
act of his abandonment of the state house
before an advancing army of 10000 cit

fugacious and mendacious personages,

is quite neat answer of Kellogg to all
