In Memory of Louisa Cable.
BY CARRIE M. WHITNEY.

The summer has departed,
 The flowers are dying now, And We are stricken hearted,
 For death has kissed her brow. The days so full of beauty,
 Of sunshine and of flowers, Brought us such painful duty,
 And her-such anguished hours. That, naught but sadness fingers In lonely hearts and home, Since death with icy fingers,
 Has plucked her for the tomb.. The May flowers that she gathered Have faded long ago; Like them ear flower has withered. To bloom no more below. Hush there's a whisper stealings Through this our darkest night. To our sad hearts revealing
 The truth, that love and lisht,- Beyond the dreary portal
 Th~% sfea to 'sln nnnmer Land" Is found by our Louisa
 Upon the Heavenly strand. Sweet hope, thy voice is cheering To weary gpieving souls. And as that home we're nearing That our dear one infolds,- O, may we trust in Jesus.
 As she. did while we wait, And fnd her watching tor us> Close by the pearly gate. lth Adams, Mass, Sept. 10th, 1s78..

We can safely state that we have
had our equinoctial blow, fully ten
days ahead of Almanac time, and we
can as safely state that it has been
the old father Of rains. Commenc-
ing with early Friday night, the ele-
ments started in real earnest on a big
tramp, wind, hail and a flood of rain.
The rain, or rather old Noah's mod
ern sample deluge, continued with
out cessation until dark Saturday
evening. The whole face of the
earth In this Town and back coun-
try, save the three front streets, were
overfowed, and remained 80 until
Sunday morning. Bridges in most
localities were floated of, and even
the fine and new tie-road, on Wash.
ington street, was torn from its firm
foundation and is a sad wreck. New
er before have we experienced SO
much damage from food. The
damage alone to the bridges and the
tie road of the Corporation will not
fall short OF three hundred dollars
but before this reaches our readers,
the Town authorities will have re-
paired all this damage.

THE carriage department Of the
Excelsior Stable, under the special
charge and workmanship of G.. W.
Glynn and John Harris, has just
turned out, fully and neatly repaired
and painted, the bestjob of work ever
done here. The buggy of DR.. Fish,
as he has just received it from the
carriage shop, shows plainly to all
experienced men, that what we are
now writing is true. Look at it, ex-
anime it carefully, all you who send
your work to the City, instead of pa
tronizing home, and our word for it
you will repent, and ever hereafter
have it done here.

CHARLIE GoLDENBERG, Manager
of Levin's Sample Room" has hung
out rather plain and emphatic sign
at his establishment, and rumor has
it that the cap fits many of the smi-
lers, and forgetting their purses at
home were not allowed, as Of yore, to
smile on tick, and that actually some
of them became miffed at what they
call Charles DIN foolishness.-
Well, we for one think that the old
tramp, "CRED1T," is dead as far as
smiling is concerned, and that Char.
lie has as much right as any one else
to have his funeral cards printed and
hung up in public.
