And now the Republicans, in the councils

She hired two common soldiers, who,
after the fashion of that disturbed period,
had sought lodging at her house, to kill
Spooner; and she persuaded Ross, much
against his will, to assist in the DISPOSE
ton which she proposed to make of the
body.
They clumsily knocked the poor fellow
on the head, and threw him down well
-"by which process" said one of her
frugal neighbors, "she lost a husband and
spoiled a good well of water"
After the murder, she divided poor
Joshua's effects between his murderers.
His watch, silver buckles, coats, waist
coats, shirts, etc, were soon discovered at
the nearest tavern, where the soldiers
went to get drunk. They were easily
traced and soon captured.
When Bathsheba heard that the dead
body of her husband had been taken from
the well, she approached, put her white
hand on his forehead and said, "Poor lit
tie man. She was arrested and convicted
as an accessory before the deed" Nor
did her history end here. We might dis
miss her simply as a monster; but, from
the moment of being found out and con-
demned to die, she begins to behave with
such courage, fortitude, and picturesque
magniticence, that we must follow her
puzzling story.
She made strange, bold, affecting
plea for her life. She claimed that an
other and an innocent life would go with
hers. But the judge and the jury, and,
worst of all, jury Of matrons, who, after
the old fashion, had been convened to
treat of this question, all disbelieved her
story.
Then she gave up hope and summoned
courage. She dressed her handsome per-
son in richest brocade and lace, put on all
her jewelry, and looked like a Copley
picture as she stepped out of the country
Jail. Her health was feeble, so that she
could not walk, so she was driven in her
own chaise.
Her friends and neighbors had all come
to see her hanged, and she bowed to them
smilingly, acknowledging the attention.
They even hanged her poor lover, Ross,
first; but she did not blench AS her
turn came, violent thunder storm broke
over the scene. She crawled on her hands
and knees up the fatal ladder, too feeble
to mount otherwise. The thunder and
lightning increased in intensity. The
prince of the powers of darkness had come
to claim his daughter, the people thought.
She did not blench, but died with smile
on her lips.
After her body was cut down and ex-
amined by the surgeons, her statement
was found to be true; and, as her histo-
rian, Chandler, says, ''the annals of Mass
achusetts jurisprudence were stained with
a barbarity which they never learned from
ancient Rome
All this happened in 1888, a troublous,
unsettled and dark period in our history.
recommend to any reader who wants
the most extraordinary history in crimi-
nal jurisprudence to read it, at length, in
Chambers Criminal Trials" The point
that derive from it is, that women do
their wicked work with the left hand awk
wardly and in the most bungling man
ner; but that, when they come to die,
they proceed to do that part Of the bust

FARM AND GARDEN
Poultry for Farmers Tables

Farmers do not use enough noultrv on
their tables. 1t is too much fine COCO ~ va :.
the staple is pork the year round '''I IT,
would be well If poultry were substituted
in great part. In proportion to tbe mn
triment they afford, fowls furnish cb e no
diet than swine. Ifas much pains wpre
bestowed in housing and feeding fnu,s
as hogs, there would be a large,r " 20
creased production of the former and a
very appetizing. nutritious diet mioht h"
afforded to the farmers family. Poultrv
furnishes food suited to the demands -
the hard working laborer in the field and
it is adapted to the women and children
1t is a crying shame that in 40 manv
farmers families even well to don neo
pie, the growing children have so little
set before them that is not too GROSS an5
coarse for their needs. The farmer and
his sons frequently feel above anv such
bother as attending to chickens. thouob
it is not considered above their dignity to
take care of litter of pigs. Yet the
fowls that are despised as "small pota.
toes" may bring in more money in pro-
portion to the outlay than the pigs In
deed, from careful experiments, we are
satisfied that If attention and a fair degree
of skill are used, lot of poultry may be
marketed with double the profit that
would be derived from raising the same
value of pork. Fowls digest grain more
thoroughly than what swine do; no por
ton capable of being assimilatedi is wasted.
If it will pay to produce poultry for the
market, it will pay the farmer to raise it
for use upon his own table.

The silken thread has missed the eye
A dozen times or more.

The same thing said to me,
Sad as ! felt you must not feel
Because cannot see;
For remembered years gone by,
Just so grandmother said,
Now mothers sight was failing her
And grandmother was dead. ..
SO one by one we all grow old,
And each in turn must ask
The younger, brighter eyes
To help us see our task.
All! well, dear child, It's well to know
h. That somewhere, by and-by,
A strong, new sight shall be restored
To every failing eye.

And grandmother's before;

Famine in Turkey.

A correspondent of the Springfield
Union states that the famine in Turkey is
really distressing, and in his letter gives
some accounts of the famine. He says:
Would that l could give you a more
encouraging report, but, alas! l can say
nothing encouraging. The harvest came
in we'll, so far as there was fields of grain
to harvest, but thousands of poor farmers
had neither grain to SOW nor cattle to
pillow their fields, so that for them there
was no harvest. Vast tracts of territory
from which ordinarily immense quantities
of grain have been exported, have failed
to furnish half support for their own pop
ulation. l have recently made journey
to Lamsoon, passing through portion of
the country blighted by the famine, and
found the people in very, very sad con-
dition. In one village ofseventy families,
now only thirty are left, and OF these only
about twenty have any means OF support.
In another large village, forty-tive per-
sons had died of starvation, and so little
seed was sown in the autumn that half the
population are utterly destitute, yet in
this condition the Government officers are
collecting by force the scanty supplies OF
wheat which the poor people had laid up
for winter. In another village of Prot
estant community, of twelve families,
only four have any means of subsistence
for the winter, while in the same village,
out of an Armenian population of seventy
families only about fifteen have supplies
for the eight months until next harvest
In still another village of about sixty
families, only about five or six have any
supplies for the future, and some are even
now fast declining, compelled to subsis'
on carrots, acorns, and dried herbs. But
these are by no means exceptional cases
"Want, want, hunger, hunger" is the cry
that meets us from every quarter"
