Green shores stretch away in the distance

In the balmy suD3pt air

Green shores stretch away in the distance:
Near at hand, an island fair,
That is smiling for very glsdness,
In the balmy sunset air
The sky bends lovingly downward,
As to hold IN a fond embrace,
The image down In the water,
A glimpse of It's own sweet face.
The sun, looking vn in rapture,
Fe.t in leaving, II vain regret
His parting glance was so tealer,
that bushes are lingering yet.
Hall wishing to hide its beauty,
From the gaze Of mortals Hfar,
Mid tiny clouds bright fribges,
Nestles the evening star.
ON the waves boat is f1oatlng,
And the two who are watching there,
Have banished all pain and sadness,
Have dropped ev'ry burden OF care
The witching moments are hitting,
Yet Huheeded they come and go,
While shadow OF upper glory,
They seek IN the waters below.
There, the star shines with soften'd brightness,
For rosy clouds seek to enfnlL:-
These mystic depths will they ever
Again, 30 rare vision hold?
Tie shadows begin to gather,
Az the boat drifts peacefully on;
Softly voice breaks the stiffness -
"Let us sing Of the days that are gone"
The song stealing o'er the waters,
Giveth story TO the deep,
Aud the strain SO sweet aud restful,
Hushes wearlsome thoughts to sleep.
Now silence Is Kept unbroken
And descending from above
Over each heart IL folded,
The wings OF the 'snowy dove"

The Snwdust nrandy.

We are sorry to learn that German chemist
has succeeded in making first rate brandy out
Of sawdust. We are friend Of the temperance
movement. and we want it to succeed, but what
chance will it have when man can take q rip
saw and go out and get drunk with fence rail2
What is the use Of prohibitory liquor law il a
man ia able to make brandy smashes out of the
shingles on his roof, or il he can get delirium
tremens by drinking the legs Of his kitchen
chairs? You may shut an inebriate out of a gin
shop, and keep him away from taverns but if
he eau become uproaross on boiled sawdust
and dessioated window sills any effort at reform
must necessarily be failure. It will be wise,
therefore, il temperance societies will butcher
the German chemist before he goos any further.

4 Boston Herald representative on Wednesday
evening had All opportunity OF exchanging q few
words with the Vice President. Mr.. Wilson ap-
peared to be rather depressed, but not dsheart-
ened by the losses which the Republicans have
this year sustained. While admitting that the
record was an extremely unpleasant one fol
him to contemplate, he said that the re-
suit was one not unforeseen or I'M
predicted. As far back as last June, the
catastrophe WAS apparent, aud at that time, in
consultation with leading members OF his organ.
ization, he announced bis belief that control of
the new House OF Representatives could only be
retained by small majority. Mr.. Wilson de.
clared that even If his fears should be realized
he was disincllned to believe that the defeat wst
other than temporary. and tlatit would not de.
termine the issue of the next Presidential cam
paign. He did not he said, welcome disaster
but il it came, he could not but think its effec
on the Republican party would be beneficial, ant
that under the chastening they would rise tt
victory again.

DWELLING.

An EFFORT TO SHOOT II u. SMITH, IN HIS OWN
DWELLING.
On Thursday night last. deliberate attempt
was made upon the life of Mr.. r. f. Smith,
depot restaurateur at Middletown. Mr.. Smith
occupies the second story Of the depot
building as his residence, and just before re
tiring for tho night went to a table, which stands
in front of window, to get a drink of water.
The blinds were turned at the time so that IL
was possible to see into the room. Whilst drink
ing the contents of the glass, pistol shot WAS
fired, and a bullet crashed through pane Of
glass in the window, broke piece from the blind
and passing about two inches above Mr.. Smith 's
head, struck against walnut wardrobe on the
other side OF the room, but did not enter the
wood and fell upon the floor.
A comparison OF the angle at which the bullet
passed through the window and indented the
wardrobe shows that the direction WAS horizon
tai, and that the shot fired from the roof OF
the tank house a few yards away, and Immediately
IN front of this window. The Il. T. company
keep ladder inclined against the tank house,
and IL ~ supposed the would be murderer
reached his position on the roof by means OF it.
Mr. Smith Is unable to explain why any one
should attempt to take his life III this manner.

When he went to pay his tax, however, his name
was not on the duplicate, and thus, notwith-
standing his citizenship, his legal right to vote,

They were on the error list. But, though
thus returned, they are nevertheless, on this
