o'clock the next morning the snow be-
gan to fall. I never saw it snow faster,
for by daylight the ground was
covered more than five inches
deep, and we had not found the
child. We kept up the search, and be-
fore noon more than fifty persons were
engaged in it, but we found no trace of
him, and at last it was given up. Then
knew that must return to my home
alone and tell my wife the truth.
What passed after I reached the
house do not know, for the next two
days were as hideous dream. I only
remember that my wife met me at the
door and said to me, g If you had only
told me the worst, would have tried to
be brave for your sake, my dear hus-
band;" and then-well, sir, I knew
nothing more for forty-eight hours.
When I awoke to consciousness rose
from the bed, partially dressed myself,
and went out and stood bareheaded be-
meath the leaden-gray November sky !;
and when felt the wintry wind, and
saw the ground white with snow, and
realized that it was the winding-sheet Of
our darling boy, felt that I could al
most follow the advice of Jobs wife,
course God, and die.
Standing there in the yard, I noticed
large flock Of crows had gathered in
the fields yonder, nearly half a mile
from the house. I watched them for
some time without seeming to heed
them. I saw them flying swiftly athwart
the heavens; then, when they appeared
to have reached some particular spot,
they would soar high in the air for an

THE CLOSING YEAR.

Faster than petals fall on windy days
From ruined roses,
Hope after hope falls luttering, and decays,
Ere the year closes.
For little hopes, that open but to die,
And little pleasures,
Divide the long sad year, that labors by
Into short measures.
Yea, let them gol our day-lived hopes are not
The life we cherish:
Love lives, till disappointments are forgot,
And sorrows perish.
On withered bows, where still the old leaf clingf
New leaves come never;
And in the heart, where hope hangs faded
springs
No new endeaVOr.

while they we're making q road near
COlberg, in Pomerania. Twenty urns

DR. S. D. HOWE:
DEAR SIR-Permt me to add my grateful tegti-
tim0ny to the army of witnesses to the virtues Of
your Justly celebrated Arabian remedies. For a
long time my wife was seriously afflicted with a
hacking cough, an oppressed breathing, soreness
of the chest and constant acute pain in the lower
portion OF the right lung and under the shoulder
blade. Her suferings were intense, and she be-
came extremely nervous and prOstrated. Her dis
ease was pronounced consumption by the physi-
clans of Chicago and other cities whose presCrip-
tiOns had been taken without benefit. When you
visited Chicago June, 1879 we called on you, hay
ing very little hope Of deriving help from your
treatment We were inspired with hope by the
skillful manner in which your thorough examina-
ton was conducted and the satisfactory eXplana-
tiOn with which you closed your diagnosis. My
wife determined to take your medicines in accord
anCe with your plain and practical directions
She began to use the Arabian Milk Cure and Ara
bian Tonic; their beneficial effects at enCe became
manifest-the cough lOOsened and soon ceased,
respiration became easy, the soreness of the chest
was relieved and all pain removed, she began to
gain in flesh and improve in strength and appear
anCe. l fully believe that your medicines and
skillful advice have saved the life of my wife.
She unites with me in this grateful tribute TO the
merits of your remedies.
Very respectfully yours -.

sands received from all parts of the United States

Artist and EmDerOr.

An interesting story of the artist
Couture is told by Mrs Hooper. When
he was painting historical picture of
Napoleon III. the Emperor summoned
him to the palace and found fault with
his original sketch, objecting to the re-
lative positions of some of the person
ages. "Such a person must be
placed here" he said, "and such anoth-
er here" and so on. "Sire," said the
artist civilly, but firmly, ''the changes
that you propose would be fatal to my
picture as work of art, since they
would totally destroy the harmony of
the composition. On all questions of
government | should of course give way
to your Majesty, but in respect to art
matters you must suffer meto main
tain my own opinions" The Emperor,
unused to opposition in any form, and
accustomed to the suave acquiesence
in all his whims of the artists of the
court circle, was highly indignant. He
literally turned his back upon the au-
dacious painter who was officially in
formed a few days later that he need
not proceed with his picture.

Discomfort is on the increase among the

due to the weakness of European concert

Democratic Fraud in Maine Last
Year.
New York Times.

The supreme court of the state of Maine
has Just decided what is known as the
'Cumberland county case" the details of
which are instructive They illustrate
very forcibly the democratic methods pur-
sued in Maine and elsewhere At the
September elections in 1879 VIM. l..
Prince was the republican candidate for
commissioner of the county of Cumber-
land, and VIM. B. Skillin was the demo-
cratic candidate for that office. In max
ing up the returns Coy. Garcelon and his
democratic associates threw out the entire
vote of the city of Portland the return
being rejected as illegal because two votes
were returned as scattering, when the re-
turn should have given the names Of all
the candidates voted for This rejection
of 6,313 votes cast in the city of Portland
defeated the republican candidate on the
face of the returns But ii SO happened
that there were cast in the whole county
], Jos votes for ''SkilIings," who was not
candidate. Obviously, these votes were
meant for Skillin, but if the rule which
had already been applied to republican
candidates were applied in this case, the
votes cast for SHILLING" did not belong TO
Skillin, and he was defeated. The demo
cratic canvassers were equal to the Occa-
sion Going over the returns, they erased
the terminal ''g" from the name of the
democratic candidate in some instances,
and in others they drew line through
the letters to indicate that they did not
belong there Then they gave the certifi-
cate to SkilIin, who entered upon the
duties of his office. Prince brought legal
proceedings to GUST him. The supreme
court has just decided in favor of Prince.

Democratic Burglars.

When the fusion legislature of Maine
adjourned" last winter it was to meet on
August s. The date has come and gone,
but the men whom Garcelon and his gang
of burglars counted in have made no at
tempt to reassemble as a legislature. If
they are still proud of that exploit for a
free count it is strange they should have
allowed so good an opportunity to slip by
unimproved of bringing their case freshly
before the people on the opening, of the
campaign. Perhaps they concluded that
the republicans can be depended upon to
keep it fresh enough.
