there was, and little bag was soon packed.
Tom thought he'd go up to Fitchburg too
and see the thing out; and he and Wendell
went together. They went over to Wallace
street, and hit the house after three trials.
Tom would wait in tho hall, he thought.
Tom heard one scream, two kisses, n rush
and several other things "too numerous to

out the front door when the heavy hand of
Wendell was laid on his shoulder.

The Montpelier Journal says the grang-
ers and tho farmers have done very un.
wise thing in voting for Mr.. Denison. Per-
haps they have, but no one can tell. The
awakened farmers voted for Mr.. Denison be-
cause they knew of no better way to break
down the ring the ring is broken. They
believed in voting independently of the par
ties, and voting for man who would not
work for office; they voted for and elected
just such a man. 1t was the farmers vote
that elected Denison, aud now, having
learned their strength, they will be quite
likely next time to vote for farmer or me.
Chanic,-uot because professional men should
DO excluded from office, but because work.
isgmen have also right to be represented
there.

In the democratic camp there is loud
jubilation over the rasult of the elections
but it is useless to pretent that this result is
due to any increased affection of the people
for that party, as such, or to any positive
principles or policy Of its own. The plat
forms that won in Ohio and Indiana are
equally opposed to the platform that won in
New York. What the elections evidence is
a powerful reaction against republican mis-
agement-against official corruption,
salary grabbing, misrule in the South, fnan-
cial laundering, and toying with the "third-
term" question. The democrats owe their
victory, not to any intrinsic excellence
in their platforms, but to the merited unpop-
ularity Of their opponents. The war issues
are now settled, and with the new issues
concerning labor and capital, the currency,
the tariff, etc, that will inevitably come to
the front in the near future, general break
iug-down of party lines may be confidently

VISIONARY.
ny ABBrE y. ALLY.

sat within the garden,
Upon rustic seat,
Sheltered by the willow boughs
That DER my head did meet.
A thousand flowers Of summer,
Rich, gaudy, modest. fair,
Exhaling sweetest perfume,
With fragrance filled the air.
The summer breeze was blowing,
The flowers IL gently swayed,
And with the graceful branches
1t ever softly played.
I'd read a tale Of beauty,
0fnymphs and fairy land,
OF beings clothed with power,
A loving, helping band.
laid my book beside me
To muse what had read
And watch the lovely flowers
In silence bow each head.
Long there | sat thus idly
Thinking of the fairy queen,
When tones Of distant music
Came DER the air serene.
Eager, intent, listened,
The music nearer drew
And soon tho fairy minstrels
Were full within my view.
Next came Queen Nab, so lovely
! almost thought her vain
And close behind her followed
A numerous gaudy train.
They stopped within the garden
And had a gleeful time,
Sweet joy rang out upon the air
As rings the merry chime.
They hid in half blown lilies,
Thoy danced DER flowers fair,
But (for watched them closely
They only danced on air.
They sported in the arbor
And through the arbor few,
Or, fthey wished a mansion,
Forthwith a mansion grew.
And there, within the garden,
They spent an hour or more,
Engaged in merry frolic
And feats unheard before.
At last the bugle sounded
A signal they we'll knew,
And in another instant
Around their queen they drew.
To each she gave a mission
To do ere morn awOko,
And thus in accents kindly
She to her subjects spoke.
'rNow let us sing together
Before the twilight close"
Then borne by evening zephyrs,
Enchanting music rose.
MY SOul WAS Whlteu upNuTu
To gates OF heavenly bliss,
Wondering If angel songs
Could be more sweet than this.
| listened there enchanted
Till the last strain was done,
And then looked for fairies,
But fairies there were mono.
The silent stars above me
Had peeped out, one by one,
And now the moon in splendor
Her silvery radiance flung.
In vain | searched for fairies.
| could not make it seem
That all this pleasant vision
Was but twilight dream.
Thus thoughtless youth will idly DIRE
0fpleasures richer far
Than lovely "Mab," the fairy queen,
And her lllustrious car.
But soon the storm Of life comes on,
Their mirth is quickly hushed
And brightest hopes and fond desires
Are in a moment crushed.
There's naught can yield US lasting |
Save God who rules on high;
Then may we lay our treasures up
Who're pleasures never die.

"Canteen Bradley"

MEN OF real bravery make mistakes
about their danger sometimes, and sue
cumb to mere imagination. 1t must NOR
tlfy them terribly, though, to be caught
so A writer in the Louisville Courier
Journal tells the following amusing in
stance:
A single shot, followed by a loud
shrek, told US that one of my best men.
Bradley, was wounded. He proclaimed
his agony in loud voice, turned over on
| his back, and commenced kicking so Wig
orOuSly that the surgeon had difficulty in
getting in reach Of him.
"Poor fellow!" said the doctor, "I'm
afraid it's fatal"
And he commenced opening his coat.

kindly over him.

tell her that I died bravely, doing NV

with an indignant voice, added
"Why, confound it, man, you are not

Get up, will yOu?"
Bradley raised up slowly, felt himself
all over, and, with an exceedingly foolish
cast of countenance, crawled back to his
position, amid the uproarious laughter of
| the whole regiment
For months after that, on the march or
in the camp, and sometimes in the still
ness of the night, you would hear a voice
in one direction demanding, "What shall

dozen responses would be heard, "Tell

then "Canteen Bradley" would come out
and angrily hunt for the man that said it.

4 Heroic Woman-The Best Bear Story
OF the Season.

a CORRESPONDENT writing from Canyon
vile sends US the following interesting
Incident, which occurred near that place
About ten days since Henry Bland and
his wife, of Canyonville Precinct, went
out into the mountains to look after their
sheep. When about two miles from home
his two dogs got after bear, and after a
severe chase succeeded in compelling the
bear to climb tree About the time that
Mr. Bland and his wife reached the foot
of the tree, another ferocious bear put in
an appearance, and attacked the dogs in
the immediate presence of Mr.. and Mrs.
Bland.
The fight now became animated and
furious, dogs and bear rolling over each
other in the death struggle down a steep
mountain into the canyon below Bland
was armed with a Henry rifle, but dared
not shoot for fear of killing his dogs.
Now came the question how to rescue the
dogs. Only two cartridges were in the
rifle, and these had to be use1 to the best
advantage. Mrs. Bland urged her hus-
band 70 go to the assistance of the dogs,
while she, alone and unarmed, under
took to keep the ferOcious monster up the
tree. He started down into the canyon
to where the conflict was raging, guided
by the growls and yelps of the dogs and
bear. He arrived not moment too soon,
for Bruin was evidently getting the best
Of it and would only be pacified by the
last shot from the now empty rife.
It was dark when Bland returned to
his wife at the foot of the tree. The stu
alton was anything but fattering. The
empty rife was of little use, and upon
the determination of Mrs. Bland to sit up
with the bear, he started for home for
more ammunition. The lady being rein-
forced by the bleeding dogs now felt that
she was mistress Of the situation. With
no fire, far from home, in the midst of
craggy mountains, this indomitable lady
dared to hold at bay one Of the most Zero
cioUs monsters of the forest The bear,
not liking his new home, determined to
descend the tree, but our heroine, with a
stick and the barking Of the dogs, com
PEELED Bruin to take a second sober
thought and, taking up a position on a
lower limb, with eyeballs of fire he stared
at the scene below; but our huntress was
not dismayed by the presence of her hor-
rible companion, but stood guard until
about 10 o'clock, when her husband and
another man came to her assistance. She
then started for home through the deep
canyons and gorges of the mountains en-
tirely alone, and it was midnight when
she safely arrived at her own dwelling.
The next morning, as soon as it was
sufficiently light, the bear was shot. He
proved to be one of the largest of those
known as the cinnamon variety.-ROSe

The Laughter-Cure.

A SHORT time since two individuals were
lying in one room, very sick, one with
brain fever and the other with an aggra-
waited case of the mumps. They were SO
low that watchers were needed every
night, and it was thought doubtful if the
one sick Of fever would recover. a gen.
tleman was engaged to watch over night,
his duty being to wake the nurse when
ever it became necessary to administer
medicine. In the course of the night
both watcher and nurse fell asleep. The
man with the mumps lay watching the
clock, and saw that it was time to give
the fever patient mis- potion. He was un-
able to speak aloud, or to move any por-
ton Of his body except his arms; but,
selling a pillow, he managed to strike the
watcher in the face with it. Thus sud-
denly awakened, the watcher sprang from
his seat, falling to the floor, and awak-
ened both the nurse and fever patient.
The incident struck the sick men as very
ludicrous, and they laughed heartily at it
for some fifteen or twenty minutes When
the doctor came in the morning he
found his patients vastly improved; said
he never knew so sudden turn for the
better; and now both are up and WE'LL
