Grief For The nead.

U hearts that never cease to yearn,
 o brinlming tears that ne'er are dried. The dead, though they depart, return
 As though they had not died. The living are the only dead;
 The dead live-nevermore to die. And often when we mourn them fled,
 They never were so nigh. And though they lie beneath the waves. Or sleep within the churchyard dim, (Ah! through how many different graves Gods children go to Him.l Yet every grave gives up it's dead
 Ere it is overgrown with grass, Then why should hopeless tears be shed, Or need we cry "Alas?" Or why should memory, yelled with gloom, And like sorrowing mourner draped, Sit weeping OCT an empty tomb
 Whose captives have escaped? 'Tis but a mound, and will be messed
 Whene'er the summer grass appears; The loved. though wept, are never lost,
 We only lose our tears. Nay, hope may whisper with the dead
 By bending forward where they are, But memory, with 8 backward tread,
 Communes with them afar, The joys we lose are but forecast,
 And we shall find them all once more We look behind us for the past,
 But To, 'tis all before.

ssThe Puritan Maiden PrfscilRa.s .ss


 ED. NEWS Some time since the question was asked in your paper, "What was the sur name of the Puritan Maiden Priscilla?" her history, etc. I thought at the time 1 would reply, but it slipped from my mind until a short time since. Perhaps the one that wish- ed for the information has found it ere this I will give them as far as I can learn:
 William Mullins, the father of the fair Priscilla, was born in England about 1875; :; became Puritan; settled with his family at Leyden, Holland, was one of the promoters of the colonization of Plymouth by the Pill grims; came over in the "Mayfower;" was one of the signers of the compact" drawn up on board that vessel in Cape Cod harbor, Nov llth, 1920. Mullins was man of consider able wealth and influence, and was expected to take prominent part in the affairs of the colony, but he died in the spring of 1921, al- so his wife and all the family except his daughter Priscilla, celebrated for her beauty, whose refusal of the hand of Miles Standish and her marriage with John Alden forms the subject q Longfellow's poem, "The Court ship of Miles Standish." The poet is a de scendant of the ''Fair Priscilla" as were also Presidents John and John Quincy Adams.

 The reception and ball given by MT. J. A. Macdonald, at the Stevens House last Friday night, merited much larger attend ance than it called out. No pains or expense had been spared to make it pleasant and el; joyable, and those who attended will not hes itate to testify to the excellence of the affair in all it's details. The music by Becker's or chestra Of Pittsfeld, was such as we seldom have the privilege christening to in Canaan ball room, this band having sterling reputa- tion throughout Berkshire County. The ball room was under the direction of Prof G. W. Wright, the accomplished dancing master, of Winsted, who executed some fine round dancing, waltzing, etc. The supper was all that could,be desired, and was gotten up at great expense. Quite number of couples attended from Winsted and New Hartford. If the disposition to please the public, mani fested in the management of this reception is a sample of what MT. Macdonald intends to display in the future management of his hotel, there can be no doubt that he will receive a liberal share of the public patronage.

We'll Deserved.

The wonderful immunity from accident and death, and the absolute freedom from danger ot either upon the railroads of this country demonstrate that railroad management here has practically reached perfection. It may be truly said that a passenger whirled through space at the rate of forty miles an hour iE one of the coaches of the North western Railway Company is in less hazard and less liable to accident than he would be in walking the streets of Chicago, and as safe from possible injury as he would be if seated at his own 6reside. For the first twenty years of railroad travel in the United States, as we learn from the report of the Rhode Island Railroad Commissioner, there was on an average one passenger killed of every two millions carried while in the succeeding twen- ty years there was but one killed of more than six millions carried. If we recognize the further fact that more than ninety per cent. of the passengers killed, meet their death by their own recklessness or by their disregard of the rules of the railrord compan- ies, we might say that number of the passen- gers equaling the country's population are annually transported over our roads without fatal accident that can be attributed to the fault of the railroad officials.

We are led to these reflections from an in timate acquaintance with the workings of one of the best managed roads in the United States-the Chicago and Northwestern, whose operations extend from Chicago to the British Possessions, and whose branches permeate every considerable point of traffic throughout the great Northwest, and even to the Pacific coast No ordinary mind can master the de tails of operating huge corporation like this whose hundreds of trains, passenger ano | freight arrive and depart with the regularity of the clock whose millions of passenger are transported, each with the self-assuranct of speedy, a safe and comfortable transit whose officials without exception are men o long experience and excellent judgment in al things pertaining to the business in hand There is not in all this country 8 compan, which maintains better corps of conductors many of whom, the travelling public have me for twenty years past and all of them gentle men in the strictest sense of the term.

 The Japanese are making great prepara- tion for the reception of General Grant, who is expected here about the 2O.h of this month. They are furnishing large fine house for him in an elegant manner; it will be furnish ed with cooks and servants, so that the Gen. eral and his suit will be as much at home 1m- mediately on their arrival, as if they had lived here year. They seem to know how to make person comfortable here Instead of taking him to some of the large hotels as we would, where all is confusion and excitement. he will go to his own house, as much his own as though he had furnished it himself. After Gen, Grant, we are to be visited by one of Queen Victoria's grandsons. The English will make grand fuss, without doubt.
