There was widow laly Of ittmptrative
youth and many personal ATTRACTIONS resid-
Ing at Canton, Conn, who Ind, for some Time
llnsllcrcssfuly endnH vored to induces the local
dentist to accept the rank and TmpunlnntS OF
her late husband The dentist. however, was
n cautious man. md although he greatly MI
mired tho widow declined tp commit himself.
About a month ago E9quire Smedloy. OF
Canton. Ravn party. which was altogntheT
the most brilliant ail lr Of the kind within
the memory Of the oldest inhnbttant. Tho
parlor of the Smedey mansion was crowded
with guests, who overlooked into the hal,
and rose gradually to tn" top OF tn" stair
case In the course OF tho evening the widow
b~came somewhat faint. IN consequence OF
the hc.t and requested the dentist to coil
duct her into the garden, where the fresh air
might revive her. 1t did rovfve her to an I'M
mcnso extent. and tho dentist found tho
garden such pleasant place that he decided
to remain with his companion and smoke n
cigar
When tho pair returned To the parlor O GU
rtous phenomenon attracted unusual alton
ton. Che widow wore wide belt beautifully
ornamented with painted vine Of some un-
determined botanical species. The dentist
wore q black coat, and, To the amazement OF
the public, one side OF his right sleeve was
seen to be decorated with the green stem and
leaves and the brilliant white and yellow
flowers OF the vine that ornamented the
Widows belt. The conclusion drawn by
wicked and heartless people was Inevitable
There was no possible defense to be made.
The widow wisely slipped out and went home,
and tho dentist followed her example, burn
Ing with rage and wishing that ail Canton
had hut one back tooth, that he might draw
it with nh oId-fashoned turnkey and without
the use of anie5thetlcs or course, the widow
lost no time In pointing out TO him that there
was but one way In which he could repair his
indIscretion and undo the injury which he
had done her, and accordingly he was within
a week brought to the altar, where he eypt-
ated his fault with much fortttude. and fur
nished an awful example OF the wickedness
OF painted belts.

DEAR FRIEND.
FAREWELL. oh cruel word. so hard 10 speak
That with some fond device. we vainly strive
The bitter utterance TO postpone, and break
Into strange jest and laughter; SO TO drive
Farther away, the moment that comes ever
Nearer and surer, spite of our brave enoea'or-
Long time ago We minded not FAREWELL,
SO soon twas followed by a joyous greeting,
Rnt now the word sounds like a mournful knel,
And DINNER seems anticipated meeting.
SO often tits recorded in the past
some lightly spoken farewell proved to be The LAST
And now, beloved one, thou too, hast gone,
And l no more can see thee, nor caress thee,
Nv love is powerless to help thee. God alone
Omnipotent to shield, defend and bles thee!
oh may He grant to thee His benediction
While / bestov my fearful ralediction.
All earth and sky are bathed in sunset splendor,
Crimson and golden clouds float i'll the West,
The freshening evening wind, pure, soft and tender
Awakens sweetest memories in my breast,
Till all nv heart and soul are flooded DER
With thoughts of days that can return no more.
The flowers from their chahces are finging
Rich odorous incense on the evening breeze,
And as they Westward fy-the birds are singing
Their good night anthem; velvet humming bees,
Their lazy droning wings are slowly swinging
over the honied clover; soft and clear.
The lowing cattle coming home, We hear.
All sights and sounds and Odors bring again
Thoughts of blest days, that give delicious pain.
oh Time, pass quickly, bring the bright Tomorrow
When she will come again who left to-day,
And put to flight our sentimental sorrow
With her pure heathful presence. So-away
With lamentations for the days of yore,
Who knows, but even for us there may be more
Than heart dare wish, or mind conceive, in store.
Amid our life's mutations strange, we know
That rapture once enjoyed, we still possess;
MEMORY gives to us an ETERNAL NOW
And pleasures of the past, have power to bless,
"A THING OF BEAUTY is A JOY FORGIVEN
And SO our best delights will leave us NEVER.

THE USEFUL SNOW OF NORWAY.

1t is always with a slight feeling of
anxiety that we read about heavy snow
storms in this country, for we know
that they mean, or may mean, the stop
ping of traffic at this point or that. So
much more curious it is, when opening
a Norwegian newspaper, to meet with
passages like this
fortunately we have had much snow
in this part Of the country, and there
is good hope that it will now remain
solid on the ground for the season"
But in Norway the snow is itself
means of traffic, and that an important
one. When snow fails, the lumber
trade, for instance, one of the most im-
portant branches of the industry of the
country, is seriously embarrassed. The
trees are felled during the fall and VIM
ter, and those huge, giant trunks which
it would be next to impossible to trans
port in the summer time over the steep,
rugged ground, where horses cannot be
employed, are in winter time drawn
easily along on the smooth, solid sur
face of the frozen snow. Tied together
in immense bundles, they are thrown
down in the dry river-bed, and when
spring comes and the snow melts, the
bundles are carried down by the
stream to the very gates Of the lum-
Der yard. Thus the snow, which to
us is an impediment, is to the Norwe-
gians an aid. and it is even something
much more, for it is, indeed, one of
the great national poets Of the coun-
try. 1t makes the houses so warm and

for it brings them together. Neighbors
who in summer time cannot visit each
other because of the journey along the
bad roads-which creep in zigzag
through the glens, along the clefts, over
the peaks-takes two or three days,
can now reach each other in a few
hours, setting out on their snow-shoes
or in the light sledges drawn by rein

buried under the snow or bridged over
