uA0 VOuE pOlGry very HuCu-
 l read it every word;
 But now l think your argemints,
 The slimmest have heard.
 S'posin' you have flirted raound,
 With a score or two of girls;
 And thought you loved ones pretty face,
 And some ones's silky curls.
 Naow don't you see, that if 'tis true,
 That one, you dassant wed.
 Because the rest would sllghted be.
 That 'twasn't them instead. That naow you're doin' jest as bad,
 In lovin' all around; Cause some may think you ain't in fun,
 Until the truth they've found9 Another pint I'll mention here. |
 b'Ieve sed to you, 'To look around for some smart gal,
 And make her happy too." didn't say, to git doll.
 All curls, and bows, and paint; Whose dress is jest the latest style
 And can't wear one that amt. But git wife with common sense,
 And see iftyou don't find. -f That you are thankful to Aunt Jane,
 For helping change your mind
 And jest word about that child,
 That seems to make you fret:- . - NaON hain't you hurd about those grapes, , That Rennard couldn't getf
 If he was Maurice. Vernier, Jun,
 Ihain't the smallest doubt, He'd be the ''dGrlSng geSt IittIe pet" oa -.
 That could be found about. g.. I'm sure shall be glad to know, # .s
 My talk haln't been in vain:
 I'm awful anxious for those ''cards'-
 And so goodbye,
 AUNT JANE.
 Conn. Western Scenery.-A ride over the Conn. Western road at this season of the year is very pleasant indeed. From Winsted all the way to Millerton. the ever changing scenery affords the traveller 8 constant source of delight. To climb the mountains of Norfolk and feast the eye upon the almost panoramic views of hillside and dale. descending seven hundred feet from Norfolk to this station, and on over Ashley Mountain" and across those beautiful Twin Lakes, sheets of water more beautiful than which can scarcely be found in the New England or Middle states; through Salisbury, around Lake Wononscopomoe in Lakeville and over the iron mines at Ore Hill. is route worth travelling ..for the scenery alone. No reason can probably be assi signed for there being large summer house not already built at some convenient point near the Twin Lakes. except the depressed condition of business. For 8 new enter prise, It is openly and frankly acknowl- edged that few places present 80 fair a prospect of profitable investment, as the erection of 8 large summer house near these beautiful lakes. The season would open bv June 1st. if not earller, and would not be considered closed till very nearly the first of November. the painting of the foliage. which around these lakes is always very beautiful in the Autumn, and the balmy atmosphere and clear skies | which characterlZe so many days ir October. would hold very many till the | latest period of the season. The drives about these lakes are delightful. Ascend ing the hlll at the south. to perhaps half o1 three fourths of a mile from the station the view is quite extended and very charming. Altogether the attractions about the lakes would bring to 8 wei ordered hotel large amount of profitable patronage, and it is presumed the erection of such place of resort will in the not fa distant future be consummated.
 Fine Strawberries.-Last Monday morning MT. P. Jacobs of this villag called upon us, and as soon as he appeared we felt sure by the kink Tn his eye that h. was up to some sort of prank peculiar t himself, and surely enough he was, for he in stantly stepped forward and placed be fore us dish of some of the largest an firest favored strawb rries we ever saw The s'Wilson" appeared to take precedenc in point ol siz. and their flavor was certain ly delicious. Scarcely had MT. Jacobs be come seated before Judge Granger appear ed at our sanctum door and at once entert, into negotiations with him for some o thosc berries. MT. J. has our thanks fo thus kindly remembering ''ye poor editor.
 We won't say that Friend Foote, Ga naan's Harness maker, ''got wind' of tn strawberries brought in by MT. Jacobs, an determined to ''laY him right out straight in this strawberry business, but Tuesda morning he brought in large platter o Col. Cheney straw wberries, and for sig they were-well, they were just whoppers As to their flavor we cannot now speal from personal experience, for they wer brought in SO soon after breakfast that W didn't wish to cut a berry till ourself an friends were likely to relish the whole of i all at one meal. We understand howeye that the flavor is very fine indeed. MI Foote is this season picking from his vine great quantities of this delicious fruit, som days in fact as many as bushel, and a the production is far beyond the require ments of his family, he is having quite a . extensive call for them from his neighbor and friends, who are glad to get them g the very moderate price he puts upon then We feel indebted to MT. F. for this sampl of his berries, also for the beautiful bt . quet accompanying them.
