Assembly will marshal their forces on Thurs
day next for the last session of that turbulent
body. Our Paris letter, on another page, ex-
hibits the Republicans as full of hope, being
sustained by the consciousness of good cause
and popular approval. The Royalists, on the
other hand, are divided, and lack the ardor
which is essential to success.

The Herzcgovinian rebellion is again as
suming grave aspect. The defeat of the
Turks at Zubei, and the report of the Con-
sular Commission that the Porte cannot restore
order, attest the strength and vitality OF the
insunrection. The significant attitude of Rus
sia calls forth from The london Times dcclara-
ton that England is not prepared to engage IN
armed Intervention. 1t seems probable that
Turkey will be obliged to grant to the dis
affected province something more substantial
than the promised reforms.

Duran Way traded their farms in Lyme,
Ct, to MIR. Elisha Tracy for lands lying in
No. Nine, Third Range of the Western Re
serve. Without knowing what they should
find it to be, they soon started on horse
back for the new country. After tedious
journey, they found the place. Mr.. Joel
Owen had been living some six years in the
western part of the section, with only
family of women. His nearest neighbors,
except the Indians, were in Morgan, Rome
and Wayne, They viewed the land and
returned. When they got back, Mr.. Way
got released from his bargain-Mr. Peck
was pleased with his bargain. In Februa-
~, 1911, he and his son Josiah, and Dan
Peck and his son -Ansel, with one pack
horse, started for the New Connecticut, as
it was then called, and after long and
weary journey, they reached the place OF
destination. They built a cabin near where
Brownville now is, and went to work cledr-
ing an old pigeon-roost. The timber was
all cleared for raising a crop.of corn. Their
provision had toeOme from Kinsman. Some
time in March, Vinton B. Way and John
and Salmon Gee Joined them, and cleared
up another piece of the pigeon-roost. In
the course of the summer, Mr.. Joshua
Strickland and Adanijah Chapman Joined
the company, making nine men, to live in a
house about 10 feet square. In July,
Messrs. Joseph Miller, Dean Huntly, Peter
Chapman, with their families, came from
Lyme, Ct, and settled in different parts of
the town. In August, the two Mr.. Pecks
went back for their families; Mr.. Way
went back to marry his wife. When they
were ready to start for the West it was as
late as the Goth of September. P.

The Pint oFAIe.


once heard John Ross Dix relate
an anecdote illustrative of the ele-
ments of ease and comfort which
workingmen are SO apt to cast
thoughtlessly away, and of the ma
ny helps to independence which. they
neglect.
/ IA Manchester calico printer was,
on his wedding day, asked by his
wife to allow her tWo-half-pintsI of
ole day for her share of ''extra
comforts" He made the bargain but
not cheerfully, for, though drink
er himself (fancying, no doubt, that
he could not very well do without),
he would have preferred a perfectly
sober wife. They both worked hard,
John loved his wife, but he could
not break away from his old asso-
Citations of the ale house, and when
not in the factory, OF at his meals,
he was with boon companions.
His wife made the small allowance
meet her housekeeping expenses,
keeping her cot neat and tidy, and
he could not complain that she in
sisted on her daily pint of ale, iwhile
he, very likely, drank two or three
quarts. Once in a while the wife
succeeded by gentle, loving artifice,
in drawing her husband home an
hour or two earlier than usual, and
very rarely she persuaded him to
spend a whole evening in her COM
pany.
They had been married year,
and on the morning of their wedding
anniversary John looked with real
pride upon the neat and comely per-
son of his wife, and with a touch of
remorse in his look and tone, he
said:
"Mary, wen had no holiday SIM
we were wed, an only that l haven't
a penny i tn world we'd take jant
to tn village to see the mither."
"Would'st like to go John?" she
asked. There was a tear with the
smile for it touched her heart to
hear him speak tenderly as in the
old times. "If thee like to go, John,
I'll stand treat"
"Thou stand treat, Mary! Hast
got fortun' left thee?"
"Nay," said she, but Pm gotten
the pint O. ale."
"Gotten what, wife?"
"The pint O. ale" she repeated.
And thereupon she went to the
hearth, and from beneath one of the
stone flags drew forth a stocking
from which she poured upon the ia
BILE the sum OF three hundred and
sixty-fve threepences-84 lis, 3d.
exclaimirig:
''See John, thee can have a holi-
day"
"What is this?" he asked in
maze.
'It's my daily pint O. ale, ] ohn.''
He was conscious stricken as well
as charmed.
"Mary, hasn't thee had thy shareP
Then Pll ha' no more fro this day!"
And he was as good as his word.
They had their holiday with their
old mother; and Mary's little capi-
tai, saved from the "pints o. ale,"
was the seed from which, as the years
rolled on, grew shop, factory, ware
house, country seat and carriage,
with health, happiness, peace, honor,
and renoWn,
