 Then he added, in lower tone. confi- dentially, ''They do say he poisoned 'em i; for, you see, hc it was that dressed the lobster salad at dinner, and made 'em both eat hearty of it, though they were unwilling and now they have him over Tn the office there, in custody"
 "But, my good man" said, as soon as could get my breath, 'I assure you they are not dead"

 followed him. We entered side room,-a sort of reception saLon,-where the two poor creatures were, indeed, lying extended on sofas. Several startled per sons were gazing at them, but the larger portion of the crowd were drawn off to the other side of the hotel, where the unhap- Py. stunned husband was listening to the fearful charges of murder,-murder of his wife and his friend
 I stepped up to the dead bodies,-one after the other. Their dresses had not even been changed. The stage finery looked very pitiful. A muslin mantle had been thrown over Madame C--'s bare shoulders and beautiful bosom; from it arose the same curious perfume I had noticed on the beach. It was as if that delicate, rare smell had been kept in a box of some kind of odoriferous resinous wood.

 I left the hotel, and walked to the cot tage, with my mind in sad, bewildered state. l entered the open door, and went to the sick-room. There stood Max and Ernestine, and she was weeping.
 ''It is all over !" he said ''and am glad she was not here."

Yes, that long. quiet sleep had, indeed, been a torerunner of life,-the true life All was truly over,-the long years of suffering. the blessed years of loving care, the com bat ard the struggle and on the battle field rested the dread shadows of Night and Death
 And I? I sank on tho poor body-shell with one low. long vail, and Nature kind. ly extended over me her blessed veil of fOrgetfulness.

DOC DAYS,

Mir. EDITOR While journeying lately mp the beautiful Shepaug Valley, as I rode along through Washington I thought, how much like Judea of old. Here dwell race of God-fearing men in the quiet of pastoral life; on these hills the focks feed and lie down in safety with no need of the shepherd to watch by night. or scarcely by day. While in this train of thought. suddenly Q sound broke the still ness of the air. the barking of dogs in an adjacent field, then came the scampering of feet, and away went fine flock of shoep and lambs, with two dogs in full pursuit. Down into the woods, up through the little brook and up again the steep hillside they 20, and there followed in that hot July sun a much reyered, old, in- firm and toll-worn man, too weak to drive off those dogs until three lovely lambs lay torn, bleeding. dying.
 ! rode homo quite ~agry ~t tf1v dvSs and at the men who raise and keep dogs. Thinking to calm my troubled spirits I took up my Bible and opened the sacred pages, but read of dogs only. When the Lord delivered the Hebrews from Egypt, "he suffered not a dog to move his tongue against them" What blessing The price of dog was not to be given to the Lord, but was chased with the hire of prostitute. Dogs were unclean, noth- ing was to be given them fit for anything else, it was ''nOt meet to take the child ren's bread and cast it to the dogs, much less to give them that which was holy" (and what is holier than the human affec- tiOns, which arc so often lavished on dogsO When the Lord would punish wicked Jezcbel for her lcwdness, idolatry, and bloodshed, he gave her to tho dogs and even they could not eat her hands and feet. The strongest expression of con- tempt was to call another ''dog," and to show the greatest horror of crime, Jam dog that l should do this thing. |" When the Psaimist would describe his worst enemy, he says, che makes a noise like dog," and when he prays for help it is to be delivered from the dogs" Sol OmOn in his wisdom saw ''the dog return. ing to his vomit again" Isaiah calls the unfaithful watchman dumb dogs" while Jeremiah calls the dogs to tear the wicked to pieces.
 What, not one good word for dogs ? Yes. they clicked old Lazarus sores, sores which might have been made by their own bites, while he hung around the rich mans gate. Finally. let us "beware of dogs" according to the Apostles iniunc- tion, resting assured that at the heavenly Jerusalem the ''dogs are without"

 Mir. EDToR Some of us, your fellow tOwnsnen and townswomen, are not so favored as to be able to live upon Litch- field Hill We would like to be polite, but have very little opportunity to learn tho conventional rules and practices of politeness, or the amenities of life as these are practiced in the higher circles. We arc accustomed to think that we may safely initiate the example of the people of the hill. But there is one practice there which staggers our credulity, and we wish to inquire. Some of us find it pleasant sometimes, just at night fall, to drive into town. But it has repeatedly happened to us, when passing the residen- eos of seemingly nice people, that the occupants have put their opera-glasses to their eyes and levelled them at us.
 Is that really the way? If so, we wish to reciprocate. In that case, our friend Mir. Wood may prepare for an active busi ness. RUsTIcus.

Every year increases the populari- ty of this valuable Hair Preparation; which is due to merit alone. We can assure our old patrons that it is kept fully up to it's high standard; and it is the only reliable and perfect ed preparation for restoring GRAY OR FADED HAIR to it's youthful color, making it soft, lustrous, and silken. The scalp, by it's use, becomes white and clean. It removes all eruptions and dandruff and, by its tonic prop critics, prevents the hair from falling out, as it stimulates and nourishes the hair-glands. By its use, the hair grows thicker and stronger. In badness, it restores the capillary glands to their normal vigor, and will create a new growth, except in extreme old age. It is the most eco nomical HAIR DRESSING ever used. as it requires fewer applications, and gives the hair a splendid, glossy appearance. A. A. Hayes, MD, State Assayer of Massachusetts, says, @The constituents are pure, and care- fully selected for excellent quality; and I consider it the BEST PREPA- RATION for its intended purposes"
