Going into the room, II few days after his

A wind went wandering fitfully about, as

the lakes from beyond the Northern forests

thence it came to spy out the land and to
prepare for renewed campaign.
For, let II be understood once for all, there
has existed for innumerabe ages fierce war
between the Equator and the North Pole.
| These great potentates have never met each

territorial. There is a wide breadth of land

distributed that an annual he is the only

Barre Granite.

The granite business in Barre is fast approach
ing the position it should occupy. There are two
hills, comprising several hundred acres, of almost
solid granite Cobble Hill granite, on account OF
its cleavage, is well adapted to building purposes,
and is used largely as underpinnng throughout
the state. The handsome blocks which make the
Capitol thing of beauty to all who visit it, we're
quarried largely from this hill. Emery c. Smith
owns the principal quarry and is an expert in the
business He employs from ten to fifteen men.
Pliny o. Wheaton also has a quarry and furnishes
building material. Milestone Hill is said TO have
the Oldest quarry. Ira p. Harrington has for
many years sent stones from here for curbng and
monumental purposes. He has employed from
ten to twenty men. The Parker ledge was
bought in the spring Of 1877 by new firm, Wet
more and Morse, and under their business en-
ergy has developed astonishing success. The
stones from here furnish the very best substance
for monuments. They can be split Of any size
and are free from iron, which, in many kinds OF
granite soon stains the monument, destroying it
beauty. split recently made at this ledge
two hundred feet long and six feet wide varying
in thickness from two to eight feet. From here a
supply is taken to furnish the shops OF the York
proprietors in Hudson, N. Y, the Barre Granite

Friendship.

What is it? Do smiles, words of cheer
and kind actions constitute ii ? Are those
who never upbraid, but meet all our deeds
with words of praise, who fatter us on every
possible, occasion to be considered true
friends Their attentions may be pleas
ant to our vanity and conceit, and keep us
in the best of humor with ourselves, and
we may think their company very desirable,
yet they will not do to put faith in, for their
amiable behavior is often the cloak for self
interest. The person who will tell us our
faults-kindly of course-who will try to
teach us to see ourselves as others see us,
who will show by acts rather than words
that he kindly regards us, is more worthy of
trust than one who agrees with all our SEN
timents, right or wrong, and who is equally
ready to coincide with some one else, even
if the subject should happen to be our short
comings. Give me the friend who has the
same love for me always who is ready to
"speak up }" for me in the midst of my enc
mics, and repeat what he considers my vir-
tues as an offset to the failings they may re-
hearse, who will hold fast to his faith in my
truth and goodness in spite of defamation.
Such friends may be scarce, but when found
are priceless treasures.

Hayden's Statement.

The Boston journal Of Thursday contains nearly
four closely printed columns Of the statement Of
Edwin G. Hayden, formerly OF this village, whosb
recent petition for new trial for wife murder
has just been denied by the Supreme Court.
Hayden always bore the reputation Of being a
bright boy, Of attractive manners and comely ap-
pearance but to his most intimate friends has
been known from boy, as n most wayward and
reckless character. Whatever stood between him
and his desires must be overcome In some manner;
and his desires were not OF the highest or
best order
In December, 1871, Hayden was married, despite
the opposition Of the family OF the bride, to Miss
Gertrude Spaulding, youngest daughter Of Hon.
Levi Spaulding, of Derby, at the house of her
cousin, Charles c. Spauldng, Montpelier boy,
in Boston. It seems, from his statement, that
his wife portion OF her fathers estate was forty
two thousand dollars, which was duly paid over.
The hostility Of the family to the match con-
tinued. Hayden went into business in Boston,
and lost the larger share Of his wife's property
He drank heavily, and his relations with other
women at that time were scandalous. Through
the Intervention of her family a separation ulti-
mately took place. she going to her sisters, then
living in Boston. Hayden, despite the protests
OF the sister, managed to see his wife clandes-
timely, and, as he AYERS, she retained all the af-
lection for him which she originally had
Things went on with Hayden from bad o.
worse, until finally, as he says his wife advised
him to go to St Leon Spring in Canada, as clerk
in hotel there, and promised that IL, for six
months he should lead an upright lfe then she
would live with him again. He states that the

PHANTAsIA.



The day was damp and cold and dreary,
The rain came pattering overhead;
And long watched and waited, weary,
Till hope with dropping wings had fed.
Yes, watched and waited for token,
or for sign In coming years;
For one fair day with clouds unbroken,
For one sweet flower unwct with tears.
There came no answer on the light breeze,
No prophecy the clouds foretold;
The weeping foliage Of the elm trees
OF shine or shadow never told.
still, all alone ! sat and pondered,
Pondcred DER the ways Of life;
Then down the distant past wandered,
The ieetlng past Of joy ind strife.
Then DER and DER the landscape viewing,
In search Of clouds still painted there,
Like tabled clay the myths pursuing,
The clouds had vanished into air.
Twas all q field Of blooming flowers,
OF singing birds and fountains rare;
where sweetly passed the golden hours,
To lover bold or maiden fair.
Then ever thus the past will brighten
And fading flowers more fragrance lend;
Tins ere we launch our burdens tighten,
And cloud and sunshine softly blend.

Storm Casualties in wisconsin.

MILWAUKEE, May PA special from Nal
lison, Wis, to-day says: The cyclone which
prevailed here last evening came from the
southwest and probably was a continuation
OF the storm at Mineral Point. Fifteen or
twenty barns are reported destroyed. The
storm between Mount Vernon and Oregon was
very severe. A Norwegian living mile and
O. half south Of Mount Vernon lost his father
in-law, an old man named Narve Bergh, and
brother-in-aw named Herbrand Bergh
His mother-in-law and himself were in the
house when the storm struck it, coming
with frightful roar, crushing in the windows
on all sides, lifting the house from It's founda-
tion, carrying it several rods, and smashing
1t to pieces, which disappeared in the air.
The man, named Herth, saved himself by
jumping down into the cellar, but his father
in-law and brother-in-law were both killed,
while the old lady was seriously injured. He
