There is growing tendency to do
away with dooryard fences. Last
spring the fence around the park, in
front of the Mansion House was taken
away, and now the fence around the
First Church has just been removed.
During the past simmer, several own
ers of houses in different parts of the
town have taken away the fences
around their lots, instead of repairing
them. Possibly, in time, the fashion
will become universal, and we shall
have no dooryard fence at all. 1t is
quite an item of expense to maintain a
good fence around ones house, and if
the practice were to become general,
probably people would like the plan of
an open space as well. But it would
require some time to get accustomed
to it, especially for the elderly portion
of the community Northampton Ga
zette.

A car containing about so Norwe-
gians bound for Minnesota went through
here last evening. They came over in
the Allan steamship Polynesian and

Charles Robinson, promising young
man of South Reading, son of Charles
Robinson, Esq, merchant and postmas-
ter, was driven to desperation by a
sudden fit of jealousy and attempted to
commit suicide last Sunday evening by
shooting himself with revolver. The
ball entered just below the region of
the heart. He was living at last ac-
counts, though in critical condition.
Jacob Estey, of Brattleboro, Law
renee Barnes, of Burlington, and Allen,
of Fairhaven, visited Middlebury few
days since to counsel with the young
Baptist church in that place in respect
of lot for, and building a house of
worship. These men, we understand,
were unanimous in their conviction of
the need of such house in Middlebury.
Learning by the experience of other
weak churches, the Middlebury people
do not propose to find themselves bur
dened with great debt. A moderate
house costing some $4,000 is their pres
ent purpose.

THE PITTsBURG Snow FLAKE.-Did
you ever see Pittsburger get fake
of SCOT off his face? He never rubs it
off. To rub off flake of SCOT discloses
the stranger. 1t also leaves streak of
black, half an inch wide, in place of the
flake of SCOT as big as a three-cent
piece. This is not an improvement.
The Pittsburger, to the manner born,
blows it off. He is an adopt in the art.
If the flake nestles on his nose he pro-
trudes his under lip, gives one vigorous
Whit, and the obnoxious PittsbuIg
snowflake leaves his face without a
mark. If it lights on either cheek, the
mouth is puckered and stretched around
in the direction of the smut, with the
unerring accuracy of garden hoe. 1t
is astonishing what almost inaccessible
portions of the face and head can be
reached by a native burgher in this
way. l have seen one who could puff
a black flake off the back of his neck.
Sometimes the beauty spot will nestle
close behind the left ear, where it is
apparently secured from blow as
calm centre. But the native simply
gives it puff clear around his head,
from left to right; the current passes
over the left ear, carrOms on the right
and comes back and picks up the wan
derer and blows him away. They blow
these sable flakes in any position, as
easily as weekly paper puffs the sum-
mer circus.-BurIingtO HdaDkeye.

Saved.
BY ROSE TERRY COOKE.

Oh how shall abide the day,
The day of doom and dread,
When God shall roll the skies away,
And call the sleeping deada
When all my sins unveiled shall stand,
And on his Judgement book
The t1ibes OF men, on every hand,
With eager eyes shall look -
Drawn out in lines of living fire,
Or strokes as black as night,
By God . divine and righteous ire,
Arrayed to blast my sight
Across that page thy bleeding hand.
Ny Lord and Savior, drawl
Thy blood is Gilead's sacred balm,
Thy death fulfils the law.
That food of anguish and of love
Shall cover all my shame;
And all my life in heaven above
Be glory to thy namel

Bergh on Gush for Criminals.

Mr.. Henry Bergh, the friend of
abused animals, is Il man who doesn't
hesitate to speak out his mind. At a
meeting held III the Cooper Institute
by 1.-THE Gilbert Library and Prisoners
Aid Society,"" Mr.. Bergh, having been
spied out among the audience, was re-
make a few remarks. This he did,
after fashion that must have astonish-
ed those who had asked him. He said
that he had come with not the least in
tentiOn of speaking but, having been
asked he felt constrained to say that he
had not the least faith in the purpose of
the society. He did not believe in this
sentimental condonng of crime, which
surrounded the criminal with luxuries,
| and made the murderer think, by the
flowers and dollhouse fruits that were
sent to him, that he was a hero. He
would like to revive the whipping post,
and use it, instead of Imprisonment, for
all minor crimes and have the rod APP
piled by steam machine, so that no
sentimental consideration should inter
fere with an effective fogging. Mr..
Bergh carried the audience with him,
and, after his speech, the meeting adj
jOurned without stopping to make the
contributions for which it was called.
There was, no doubt, much truth in
what Mr.. Burgh said, and yet it is quite
as easy to be radically anti-sentimenta
as to be radically sentimental. That
great deal of good can be accomplished
by watching over the welfare of those
who have been released from prison,
experience has abundantly shown. If
an ex-cOnvict can be provided with
work after he has been discharged, the
chances of his remaining honest are
much too good, even though there are
many and painful exceptions, to make it
advisable to wholly forego this means of
reformation.-BOSt Herald.
