BRISTOL pulled off her coat on
Tuesday and worked as she never
worked before. Never before did
we see her put so good an element
in the field. Each one seemed to
think success depended solely on
his individual excrtione, and when
the guns had ceased TO boom and
the tired boys blew from their muz-
zles the smoke Of battle, they sent
a good account to headquarters
Perhaps no other precinct in the
district worked under greater dis
advantages. The patronage Of the
administration is no where more
efficiently worked than in Bristol.
Conway and Warren worked like
heroes for their friends, and, in any
other cause, would have deserved
success.

MAX ADELER in the Danbury
Conn. News, puts forth the follow
ing case of a local magistrate at
tempting to apply the Judgment OF
Solomon: Two women came before
AID, rman DJbbs, in our village, the
other day, to settle a dispute about
a child. Mrs. Murphy claimed the
boy as hers, while Mrs, Doolan in
sisted that it was hers. As the Al
derman could not obtain any decisive
evidence bearing upon the case, it
occurred to him to try the plan once
u ed in similar case By Solomon.
He sent out TO the kitchen and got a
carving Aniye, and then placing the
boy Oh the desk, he said to the wo-
men, while he sharpened his knife on
his boot, I'm goin to cut this
youngistcr in half, and let Mrs Mar,
ply take the body, while Mrs Doc
Ian goes home with the legs" Ii
was a clever idea but it failed. Mrs.
Murphy stepped up to him, and doub-
ling up fist that resembied an UNI
done leg of mutton, she shook it close
to his nose and said, ''Ef We do, We
shpa!peen, DILL murtherye with me
own hand" and Mrs, Doolan seized
him by the hair, threw him to the
ground and exclaimed, while she
brandished the knife ever his pros
trate body. "Gimme the legs! Be me
sowl, olive mind to kill We and ate
Sc" Then Squire Dobbs adjourned
The case, and while Mrs, DOoian re-
tired with the boy, he went out tc
hunt mp Bible commentary, in or

POETRY.
Charles Sumner.

Charles Sumner.
BY II. W. LoNGFELLow.
Garlands upon his grave,
And flowers upon his hearse,
And to the tender heart and brave
The tribute of this verse.
His was the troubled life,
The conflict and the pain,
The grief, the bitterness of strife,
The honor without stain.
Like Winkleried, he took
Into his manly breast
The sheaf of hostile spears, and broke
A path for the oppressed;
Then from the fatal field
Upon nations heart
Borne like warrior on his shield!
So should the brave depart.
Death takes us by surprise,
And stays our hurrying feet;
The great design unfinished lies,
Our lives are incomplete.
But in the dark unknown
Perfect their circles seem,
Even as bridges arch of stone
Is rounded in the stream.
Alike are life and death,
When life in death survives,
And the uninterrupted breath
Inspires thousand lives.
Were star quenched on high,
For ages would its light,
Still travelling downward from the sky,
Shine on our mortal sight.
So when great man dies,
For years beyond our ken,
The light he leaves behind him lies
Upon the paths Of men.

THE CRoouEr QUEEN.

You may talk about skating, and slsighing, and
procla aDi tie B delights of the rod and gun;
OF the ride through the park upon steed gaily
The row on The lake until daylight is done;
Praise the sports of the land and the water, each
The bath by the beach, or the yacht on the
But of all the sweet pleasures known to the sun,
"good" game OF eroquet's the sweetest for
me
To make it good one there needs good ground
The grass closely cut and the turf smoothly
The mallets well balanced; the balls thoroughly
And the bridges set square with true distances
The players close matched-about four to side
-Four sweet girls for partners or not less than
three;
All playing In earnest--no trifing aside
In the croquet arena no flirting should be.
For nowhere is n rting with such peril fraught,
Not even.in dancing Is danger like this,
ALL well l remember myself getting caught
they csed her he cro ust o@es ne
QuOi:
There we're in the arena good players as she,
But something about her-a look that gave law.
Ere the game was half ended she ''queened" it
o'erme.
Her figure was faultless-nor TALL nor petite
Her skirt barely touched the top lace of her
boot;
I've seen III Time eOiue IeLuAIAdOle tcels
But never one equaling that little foot.
Its t0urnure was perfect, ON ankle II toe
Praxiteles, ne'er had such model for art
No arrow so sharp ever shot Cupid's bow;
When poised on the ball 1t seemed pressing
your heart.
1t crushed more than one, as sadly remember
A dozen at asst in the sweet month of way
And long ere the season had reached to Septem-
Der,
II mum bered of victims a dozen day.
As one on the list you won't wonder, ween,
That warn you gainst flirting while playing
this game,
You may meet, as did, some fair croquein

Who will croquet your heart, till it feels al

FEAR NOT FORTUNE.

Trust not fortune. She will be
Everything but true to thee;
False and tickle all her life,
The old dame has been the wife
OF thousand bridegrooms-none
Mourned day when he was gone!
She delights to desolate;
Very bitter is her hate;
And she hates most when she knows
There are those who scorn her-those
Who rejoice in better things
Than the baubles that she brings
ConQueror's laurel, crown of kings!
To reject these and be wise
Is folly in her eyes;
To be good is worse than this,
Since it shows her what she is,
And that she is baffied, too;
For what is there she can do
To the coed and to the wise,
Who her earthly dross despise,
For their hearts are in the skies,
Where their heavenly treasure lies.

AN ANSWER.
independently
BY ROSE TERRY COOKE.

independently
You ask me if love you still
With such a ferver and good will
As chung to you In years before,
Ny little saint! love you more.
You light your candle at the flame
That warns your hearth-'tis still the same
a thousand tapers share its light,
But leave the radiance just as bright.
For love with loving is not spent,
Not such loves divine intent;
What, year on year, the sun shall dim?
What WORSHIP tire seraphim?
Like some sweet bloomless plant that grows
Beside the rel and lavish rose,
That sees those blossoms blaze and die,
Brief darlings Of the summer sky.
But holds it's own most odorous leaves
To every hand that plucks their sheaves,
And where one branch for guerdon goes
Another and another grows.
so, daring though my heart be filled
With newer love, IL is not stilled,
But daily prays for daily bread,
Forever hungering, ever fed.
AS in the dew drop stars may shine,
30 love itself august, divine,
kindles our finite lives with fire
That cannot shoulder nor expire;
Elates our souls with boundless strength
Till lovers are lost in love at length,
. Our mortal lights grow far and dim
And love and loving merge in him.
