CHANCE.

word unspoken, a hand impressed,
look unseen or thought unguessed,
And souls that were kindred may live apart,
Never to meet or know the truth,
Never TO know how heart beat with heart
In the din past days Of wasted youth.
She shall not know how his pulses leapt
When over his temples her tresses swept;
As she leaned 10 give him the jasmine wreath
She felt his breath, and her face flushed red
with the passionate love that choked her breath,
And saddens her life now her youth Ia dead
A faded woman who waits for death
Aud murmurs name beneath her breath;
cynical man who SCOTS and jeers
At women and love in the open day.
And nt night time Kisses with bitter tears,
A faded fragment OF jasmine spray

Off to Heaven.


1t is the coward" exclaimed DR.. Johns
ton. "who wants to<oe on to heaven" u is
pleasant 10 see an aged Christian patiently
waiting till the change comes. His whole
life has been spent in the service of his Sa-
viour and now he can do nothing more.
He can only wait until summoned up higher ;
and it is easy to forgive him if he casts eager
wistful glances toward the summer land,
knowing that he must be almost home. The
Christian in the prime of life ought to be
thinking of something else. He ought to
be about his fathers business, which is the
salvation of the world. Our children ought
to be educated up to standard which
means something more than going to heaven
when they die. "Is he converted ?" in
quired child as young man arose from an
altar of prayer, whose countenance told of
Joy and peace within. Yes, dear . was
the answer. "Then he might as well die p
was the sober comment of the little one,
whose sole idea of being converted was a
for heaven. Is it not rather a
for earth a preparation for
living-for anoble, glorious, holy, earthly life.

ANOTHER FLAG The Boys in Blue had
a flag raising Friday evening at the Hyde
building on south Main street. A procession
with Lieut. j B. Morse as marshal marched
from the club room headed by the band
to the Hyde building when the flag was
swung across Main street amid cheers
Capt. Lul spoke briefly and Mr.. Huse in

on national issues and Geo. w. Wing,
Esq, who addressed himself more par
ticularly to the state issues, replying to
| to the attacks made on the administration
of affairs in Vermont. Both speakers
were enthusiastically applauded. The
procession formed after the speaking and
went up Main street to the Union House
bridge where they crossed to Elm street
and returned to State street. While on Elm
street they learned that Gen. Woodford was
at the Pavilion. They went there and called
him out when he made most eloquent
speech of five minutes that called out

THAT OUTRAGE.-A great handle has
been made of an affair that happened on
the Berlin side Friday evening and Satur-
day morning, which has been made to
appear as republican outrage on the
rights of democrat and an insult to the
flag.
The facts as we learn them are that Z
F. Hutchins rents the lower front rooms OF
his house to L. r. Meader. The front hall
and porch Mr. Hutchins claims equal
control of with Meader. Mr.. Hutchins
daughter about Il week ago wanted to put
up Garfield and Arthur flag, but her
father told her Mr.. Meader was a demo
crat and while she might put up as many
Union flags as she pleased he wanted no
party flags up under the circumstances.
Mr.. Meader Friday evening put Han.
cock and English flag on the front porch
Mr. Hutchins who was in his rooms in the
house, having been in bed all day with
rheumatism, got up and went down and
took down the flag. Saturday morning
the flag was up again, and Mr.. Hutchins
went and tore off the names leaving the
flag where ii was.
He was complained of for destroying
property, plead guilty Monday before
Justice Livingston, and was fined IS and
appealed. Mr. IIutchins doubtless has
strong feelings in political matters as he
lost two brothers by the horrors of Auder-
sonvile, but had he attempted to interfere
with Meader's expression of opirion by
flying flag on premises which he,
Hutchins, had surrendered control of to
Meader, republican Vermonters would
condemn him. as they condemn those out
RACES in the south that, to say the least
go beyond tearing names off a toy flag
| As the matter stands it is merely one OF
those disputed questions of the right of
control that are frequently happening
where property is rented and two families
live in the same house with their respect
i've rights not always clearly defined by the
verbal lease.

A GOOD STORY ABOUT GARFIELD
Years ago, when it was necessary to raise
money to pay the interest on the war
debt incurred by the democratic rebellion,
coal oil was taxed for revenue. 1t was a
very high tax. Coal oil, unlike whisky
and tobacco, was an indispensable article,
and the tax was burden to the poor and
people of moderate means. General Gar
field introduced into congress. and had
passed. bill reducing this tax to NOM
inal sum. This, as General Garfield
expected and intended, was great relief
TO the mass of our population. 1t hap
pened, also, to operate in favor of the
princely merchants and spectators in oil
of Pennsylvania and New York, who had
literally their " millions in it," by lessen
ing the amount of capital required to
handle oil. and allowing better per cent
of profit. 1t was a very small matter for
these dealers to make up purse of ten
thousand dollars as present to General
Garfield, which they did, and asked him
to accept it. The general replied that he
could not accept the gift; he had done
simply what he thought was his duty to
consumers of oil, with no thought or ref
erence to them or their interests. If, Incl
dentally, the net was a benefit to them b.
was gratified, but he had no claim on
them. Permission was then asked tc
present the purse to Mrs. Garfield, ant
this was declined. -EIcbange.
