NEW YORK, November l3.-Judge DAVIS
this morning rendered an elaborate decision
in the case Of Kenward Philip. The ac-
cused, his Honor says, is charged with two
offences. First, that he wrote the so-called
MOrey letter, ccunterfeiling the signature
OF Garfield thereto; and second, that after
Garfield made public the denial OF having
written the letter the accused wrote an edi-
torial headed Lying and Sticking to It,"
and asserted that Gal field was liar in de-
nying the authorship.

no such person as Henry l.. Morey ever ex.
listed at Lynn, Mass" The letter, he also
holds, is uoquesti0Dably forgery and not
in the handwriting OF Garfield. The cues

NUT be left to the jury to determine. The
defendant is held to answer the charge oil

In his decision Judge Davis il very severe
on Hewitt. He says: "Mr. Hewit's con.
nection with the letter and the transactions
that have grown out OF il are, to say the
least, OF the most extraordinary character.

he received the letter the very singular

A MOTHERS LETTER FROM HOME,
My Darling Mamma:

My Darling Mamma:
PAPA says I may write and tell you
that we are all well and you must enjoy
yourself and not worry about us for we
are getting along splendidly.
That's Just what he told me to write,
and he has directed an envelope all
ready for me to put the letter in. But
l don't see what he means by saving
we are "all well, for there's lot of
things the matter with us. There S
measles, and mumps, and malaria, and
If there were any more sicknesses that
began with NJ, guess we would have
them, too.
Grandma-she's got the malaria;
that's the prettiest name, and l think
it's the Notwithstanding sickness. 1t
makes her face yellow, but it don't puff
her out like humps. Edith and me
think it makes her cross. Do grown
folks get cross when they are sick just
like children? She takes Queeneen to
break up chills, she says, but [ am
afraid she will break up herself, for she
shakes as if she would fly to pieces
some days. think she's got all the
malaria there is in the house for none
of the rest of us have had any; but
there was measles enough to 90 round,
and we've all had 'em except me.
suppose 1 should have had some of
them, too, but grandma says 1 had 'em
nine years ago when was only year
old.
Billy, the boy that carries news
papers, brought us the mumps, and we
amt much obliged to him. l asked him
what he wore his face in worsted COM
ferable for, an he said caused he'd
got a corn behind his ears, and then he
asked me if l saw anything green, but
of course l couldn't through his big
comfortable. Anyhow, | don't believe
it was green corn in the middle of
winter Hannah said, the next to-
morrow, when she saw him, that twas
humps, an he had no business to come
here, and she said, you'll catch it,
Miss, for talking to that naughty boy
in the hall when you was told not tor
l did catch it, too, and l wish l hadn't
talked to him, for my mumps was awful,
but they are most better now. Once |
sneezed while had them, and l thought
had torn off both ears and turned my
nose wrong side out, it hurt so; but l
hadn't.
This is picture of Edith, with both
her mumps.

THE SONGBLRDS' DEPARTURE,

AROUND the cedars on the lawn
The evening mists are early drawn.
On each its cobwebs' glittering bells
At noon of autumns cold breath tells;
The woods their golden mantle wear
10 grace the passing of the year;
Saddest OF all, resounds no trill
from Dl1thesome warblers-all are still
The cuckoo long ago has fled,
me Dlackcap dulled his sable head,
Inc wh1tethrOat sought more sunny chimes
The fearful swallow left betimes;
Ger barren moor or stubble bright
me wood wren wings her silent flight,
W ME many whistle from the skies
Marks where the plover southwark flies
What guides these birds to warmer lands?
Doth chance impose such strict commands
Did myriad races die before
Survivors sought Il foreign shore?
Not so; Creative Love impressed
Upon their natures His behest,
And still, obedient, they observe
The charge, nor from His purpose swerye.
We grieve, but lasting song would cloy
Capacities of sober joy;
And though we mourn the silent bands
OF birds which fit to stranger lands,
Brighter the welcome we extend
Next April to each well known friend,
And more we long mid winters snow
TO hear new songs when lilies blow.

EDITH AND HER MUMPS.

She took them from me, grandma
says, but l don't see how she could, for
l kept 'em till long after hers began.
They said she was only going to have
'em on one side, but she was most
through with the measles so she had
room enough to have 'em on both sides
just like me.
You know I can't draw as we'll as
papa, because he is celebrated artist,
but l thought it would be comfort to
you to see how she looks.
Jimmy and Josey have each got a
mump apiece, and they are dreadfully
measled too. Their faces are as red as
red can be, and the little spots on them
are redder still, and their mumps are
all red and speckled too. Isn't it fun
ny? Perhaps it's because they are
twins. I've drawed a portrait of them,
and if 1 had time L d paint it, too, so you
could see how bright their measles is.

The Help Yourself Society.

| COULD not help stopping in the
midst OF my writing just now, to watch
some little sparrows on the porch roof
just outside my window. 1t is a regu-
lar feeding place for them, for we scat
ter crumbs there every day, just for
the pleasure of their company. Even
the baby has caught the spirit. He is
something like
"That bad little girl of Ounce
Who never would finish her crust"
So he saves his for the sparrows. 1t is
raining and Louie's last crust is beau
tifully soaked, just on the edge of the
roof. Down came an old mother-spar-
row and four great baby-sparrows. !
never should have known they were
her babies only for their actions, for
they were as big as she was and a great
deal fatter. They never offered to touch
the bread, but all sat in a row scream
ing at their mother to wait upon them,
with their mouths wide open.
There was no reason in the world
why they should not help themselves,
only that they always had been fed by
her. They were not patient children,
but each seemed to be crying out "Me
first, mother, me firstr' in such a dis
tracing way, that the poor mother
seemed quite confused in her efforts TO
satisfy them. They would hop before
one another, and catch the crumbs
from each others mouths in very
greedy way; and if the mother tried to
eat a bite; most likely they snatched
that up, too. No wonder she was very
hi nd lND -nI AL To- II
so. She flew off with bite of bread to
tamarack tree near by, to eat it in
peace, but three greedy children pur-
sued her. The fourth stayed by the
bread, and it was funny to see his at
tempts at helping himself. He would
dive his bill into the bread and then
jump back as if it had burned him.
l have seen some great children about
as helpless and exacting, and their poor
mothers usually looked thin and weary
and troubled. From morning till night
you will hear such questions as ''Mother,
where is my history?" Mother, won't
you sew on my shoe buttons?" Mother,
won't you sew button on my jacket?''
Cant you put up my luncheon, l am
in such hurry?" Every one of these
things the boys and girls could have
done quite as well for themselves if
they had only thought so. There is ne
reason why boy should not learn to
sew on a jacket button as well as his
sister, 1t is not half so hard as learn
ing to skate or white. Boys and girls,
if you wish your beloved mother to
live long and happily with you, join at
once the "Help Yourself Society"
Baptist Weekly.

Betrayed by the Truth.

The very amiable and worthy occu.
pant of the position of British Vice Con-
sui at port in the far East had often ex-
pressed to his American fellow-residents
his desire to visit their country, and
make himself acquainted with their in
situations. His ideas of the West had
been formed by perusal of the works
of Cooper, and it is to be feared that his
interlocutors had purposely abstained
from disturbing his somewhat highly
colored expectations. Finally fur
Tough came to him, and he made ready
to carry out his cherished plan of trip
home by way of the Pacific Ocean and
the United States. Introductions We're
given him to trusty practical jokers in
San Francisco, which he presented, on
arrival, with expressions of vehement
desire to encounter Indians and hunt
buffaloeS. This, he was told, would be
easy, as both abounded in the neighbour
hood of the Cliff House, and the peace
full and prosaic suburb of Oakland. An
expedition was planned and carried out,
and the British brother, armed to the
teeth, performed great deeds in the en-
counter with practicable Indians and
buffaloes-furnished, it was whispered,
by theater and circus menagerie.
Exulting in the praise of his American
friends, and covered with glory, he de-
parted for New York and England. His
fame stood him in good stead at dinners
and other social gatherings during his
entire vacation, and preceded him on his
return to his post, and made him quite
hero among his fellow exiles
No American could find it
have gone well to this day had he only
confined himself to his character of am
ateur Misunderstanding. One day, how
ever, a countryman of his came to a
Yankee" and denounced this hero.
Just think of that M" said he,
trying to sell us. By Jove! l never
heard in all my life, you know, such
atrocious stories as he has been telling
us. What do you think he tried to make
us believer 1t is all very fine to have
shot no end of Indians and buffaloes.
Of course, you know, where there are
20 many as there are in San Francisco
and New Hampshire and Niagara, and
III those places, plucky fellow might
10 that. But he has actually tried to
make us believe the most extraordinary
tory that you have ever heard about
YOUR country, you know. He says that
he went to place called Chicago, and
he went to draw some money from
oank, and found that they had raised it
Up and were moving it, with all the fell
lows inside, you know, going on with
their work! l say! just fancy the cheek
# the fellow, supposing he could make

proved his undoing.-A. a. Hayes, IT.,

How Skillful Swimmer May Easily
be Drowned.

We read frequently of the drowning
of good swimmers, who suddenly sink
in the water without any apparent
cause. The common explanation of
such an accident is that the swimmer is
seized with cramp; but an English
naval officer offers different solution
of the phenomenon. He bases his
theory on his own experience. His
ship was lying for long time off Alden
Harbor, and it was the practice for
cricketing parties to swim from the
vessel to the shore every evening, hav-
ing their clothes sent in small boat.
OF course there was a race to see who
would get to the beach first The
writer in the course of sharp struggle
for the lead opened his mouth to
breathe, and some of the spray flying
in the wind got into his throat and took
the passage down the trachea. 81
could NEITHER he says, "get any breath
in nor any out, and soon began to
feel l was dying on the top of the
water. There must have been dozen
men close to me, but could not speak,
much less call to them. kept SWIM
ming on for the shore. In about thirty
seconds my senses began to leave me.
| ceased swimming, and my legs went
down, when luckily for me they touched
the bottom; violent jump helped me
to cough up the drop OF water. 1 stag
gered on shore and fell quite exhausted
on the beach, much to the surprise of
all the men with me-" 1t is the opin-
ion of this gentleman that many fatal
accidents tn swimmers are dup Simnlv
to a drop of water in the windpipe. A
conclusive proof that they are not due
to cramp is the fact that a man rescued
within two minutes of sinking in this
mysterious manner is always found to
be beyond all hope Of resuscitation.-

Our Young Folks.
SWEET sUMMERs GONE.

THERE'S purple tint on the woodland leaves
And the winds are up all day;
There's a rustling heard in the yellow sheaves
And it seems to sadly say:
sweet summers gone awayr'
In the wrinkled brook no roses peep;
And the bees no longer stray;
And the butterflies have gone to SLEEP;
And the locust trills all day
sweet summers gone away!
On the browning fields the spider spins
Where the lambs no longer play;
And the cricket now his ehirp begins;
And the quail is whistling gay.
sweet summers gone away!
Ihere are loving arms for baby dear,
Though the skies are chill and gray,
And a coy home-nest all the year,
And sweet kisses every day,
Though summers gone away.

The Republicans of East Guilford raised
handsome flag last Saturday evening Ayith
appropriate ceremonies. The Brattleboro
torchlight procession and drum corps were
present, arriving shortly after o'clock Upon
their arrival the boys formed in double line,
and then, amid the burning of colored lights,
followed by three hearty cheers, the flag was
raised across the street between the post Of
fee and the residence of S. A. Smith. The
company then adjourned to the church, where
Hon. j. NJ. Tyler delivered short but efTec-
tive speech touching on the leading issues of
the present campaign. Other speakers from
Brdttleboro were promised, but imperative
business engagements prevented their attend
ance. The time given to the speaking was
very limited, owing to the necessity for the
early return of the torchlight company to
Brattleboro. A good degree of enthusiasm
was manifested on the occasion, and several
residences were handsomely illuminated, in
