At democratic caucus, held last Satur. day evening, Cyrus E. Prindle. Edwin Leavensworth and Bruce Hodge were nominated for selectmen. g-r The Republicans put the following ticket in the field on Monday For se- lectmen. Charles Beardsley. Minot Beard. sley and Bruce Hodge, the two former be ing democrats, the latter a republican. The vote boiled was as follovs:-Cyrus E. Prindle. IT; Edwin Leavensworth, 13 Bruce Hodge. 106 Charles Beardsiey, si Minot L. Beardsley. s4. Thus i, seems that for once during lifetime the nomination of ticket for selectmen by the republican party proved to be more popular than that made in regular denl- ocratic caucus.
 Excepting upon the ticket for select men there was no further cutting the caucas nominations of the democratic party. Lyman P. Eastman was chosen assessor Myron Downs, clerk Chas. Beardsley. Treasurer. On constitutional amendment the vote stood, No. 1, 60 afr, and 5 neg. No. 2. 40 aff., 20neg. There was no vote upon the Licensea question, which I suppose is equal to a no licence vote for the ensuing year,

LITTLE MARGIE.
BR. r. BRYNBURG PORTER.

BR. p. BRYNBURG PORTER.
Little Margie sat by the avenue,
And all the gay steeds quick past her few,
With their merry bells and flashing sleigh
Four-in. hands, tar dems, sorreis and grays.
Margie watched the great folks but envied not: -
She sold buttons and pins, nor sighed at her lot.
Grand ladies swept by in their silks and fnrs,
But none had blither heart than hers.
swells sauntered along with ogrg grns,-
Not one so content as the child who sold pins.
And as she sat on, and the sun shone bright,
She sang a wee song, her heart was so light;
For the sparrows chrped overhead in The trees,
And why shosld she be less gay than these?
And when the ladies would purchase her wares,
II was pleased little face that smiled in theirs.
One day she sat there when it was not SO bright,
And the snow fl axes came flying all chill and hite,
The wind howlcd around her, cruel and cold,
And few were the buttons and pins she sold.
A. she tried in vain to sing her wee song,
There came poor limpng dog along,
And he looked in her face with such wstful eye,
She took from her basket her one piece of bread,
And shared 1t with him when had he been fed?
Now lady looked out from great house near
IRON her wealth and her warmth and pleasant
cheer,
Saw the child in the snow all shiveriGg and wan,
And thought of her own darling, dead and gone.
And she took her forthwith to her home and heart
From thence never more, while she lived, to de-
part.
To-day Margic rides in velvet and fars,
And none are more costly or fine than hers,
She IL seen at the ball in jewels rare
And pleased eyes follow her everywhere
But is she much happier now, think you,
Than when she sold pins on the avenue?
