THANKFUL

Though December's days had come,
While the maple leaves were falling,
And the singing birds were dumb.
But within. the heart was heavy,
And the spirit III at ease.

Bright black eyes and shining forehead,
Rosy cheeks and clustering hair,
Thin, and patched, and faded garments,
Little brown feet, cold and bare;
And the red lips smiled greeting,

A Deep Question.

There is farmer down in Maine who
found when he recently offered some two
years-old cattle for sale that he could not
get so much as he had been offered for them
as yearlings, although he had fed large
amount of hay to them and they were in
fine condition. He also bought fine yoke
of steers in 1875 for 500, which was thought
a great bargain. He was proud of them and
took great pains to fit them for the state fair
two years later. He took the first pre-
MUM, then tried to sell them, but the best
offer he could get was S92. Now he wants
to know where the value of all the feed and
care given to these cattle has gone to, and
who has got it? Many farmers have had a
like experience in Vermont, and really we
should like to know if they can throw any
light on the question that so puzzles that
man in Maine.

SINGULAR.-We have noticed for some
time that there is class of editors (and
some of them agricultural y whose COM
ments upon agricultural colleges are always
tinged with sarcasm against those institu-
tons which are really using their funds to
educate, at least, few young men to be
farmers while they are ever ready with
soft sawder for one that has never educated
any. You cannot always tell by the looks
of toad which way he will jump, nor what
he is jumping at but it is not very difficult
to guess the attitude and purpose of this
class of writers. They manifestly show
themselves to be unfriendly to the farming
interest, and to the social and intellectual
advancement of the very class to which
some of them belong-when they can't get
anything else to do.

for arson, and that the detectives had
further promised him share of the re-
ward offered for the conviction of the
murderer. A motion was thereupon
made before the Supreme Court to set
aside the verdict. From some ineSpii-
cable cause it seems that the Court re-
fused to interfere, as it is now an
nounced that Buzzell is doomed to swing
on Thursday.
Efforts are being made to have this
sentence commuted to imprisonment for
life. Two questions arise in this case
that seem difficult of solution on any
lust grounds. After Il fair trial and ac-
quittal, how could Buzzell be put in jeo-
pardy by a second trial for the same
otfense? Does the justice of the latter
concoction lie in the distinction between
being tried as a principal in the first case
and an accessory in the second? And how
in the name of law and reason could d
jury find him guilty on the mere testi'
mony of boy who confessed to being
the principal in the commission of the
crime? There seems to be something i'll

That evening, through the shady lanes,
C1eoffrey Chetwynd walked back with
thoughtful brow to his lodgings. He had
refused to stay to dinner from latent hope

iug Mrs. Elton sing once more, and Captain
Lee had volunteered to walk part OF the way
with him. As soon us they were we'll out OF

The Great London.

London, said Lord Carnarvon, had, in
many great patriotic struggles always
been on the winning side-so that if, as
Marshal Butcher has said, it was the
finest city in the world TO pIunder, it had
never had to undergo that uncomfort-
able process, but had become instead not
only the great shop but the great count
ing-hOuse Of the world. In the eigh-
teenth century, Hume, the philosopher,
had conjectured that no great city would
ever have a population Of more than
seven hundred thousand-a speculation
which he tried to demonstrate from cit
ing the cases of London and Paris. In
fact, London has now a population of
four millions, "a population approaching
that Of Scotland" [surely Lord Carnar-
Won should have said exceeding it, "and
| venture to say, with all respect for
Scotland, almost as intelligent"
France is afraid to seat her Parliament
in Paris. The United States are averse
to seat theirs at Washington. England
feels no anxiety about seating hers in
London. In spite of great Professionally

fever. In Constantinople, you wake up
and find that third Of the city has been
burned down while you slept.

way, not, of course, without great blum

is right. London is great marve
among cities. And her strength consist:
not in intensity of social feeling, like
Paris, nor in splendor of historic memo

A STRANGE CASE.

The case of James B. Buzzell, who is
under sentence of death at Concord, n.
e., is exciting an intense local interest.
In several respects the case is one calcu-
lated to attract general attention. Ruz-
zell was tried for the murder of a Miss
Hanson, who was mysteri0usly shot
while sitting in her house one evening
and the suspicion of her murder by Buz-
zell grew out of the fact that
be had had quarrel with the
woman. He was tried and acquitted,
A heavy reward had been offered for
the arrest and conviction of the muir
derer. Some time after the acquittal Of
Buzzell boy by the name Of Cook came
forward and swore that Buzzell hired
him to commit the crime, and that he
(Cook) shot Miss Hanson. Cook was
under arrest on charge of arson when
he made this confession of the Hanson
murder, and was promised immunity if
he would testify against Buzzell. The
latter was rearrested, indicted as an ac.
cessory, and, under Cooks testimony
was convicted and is now under sentence
to be hung on the 10th inst.
Parties who had had their suspicious
aroused by theconduct of certain private
detectives, who were working up the case
on the hopes of the reward, ascertained
by close questioning Cook that he had
periured himself on the trial of Buzzel
on the promise of escaping prosecution

IT appears that the bill repeating the
duty on manufactured quinine was writ
ten in ignorance of the fact that there is
duty of ten per cent. on the bark from
East India. The repeal does not affect
this tariff, and loop-hoe is thus left for
manufacturers to make fortunes out of
their monopoly. There is no tariff in
Great Britain on East India bark, and it
was principally from this source that the
people of this country hoped to profit by
competition. 1t is claimed that the re-
peal thus becomes in effect a dead let
ter, and that the shaking victims of the
Rgue are in as deplorable condition as
before.
