Everything will go to ruin, accord
ing to Republican authority, if Han,
cock and English are elected this
Fall. So far as the general public
are concerned there is no foundation
for the statement whatever. That
ruin" will fellow that event we
have no doubt. 1t will be confined
entirely, however, to the ring plum
derers, and others who have fixed
themselves like barnacles upon the
Republican party and draw their
life blood from the public treasure.
They will be ruined beyond doubt,
many of them both in purse and rep
utation. When the books are final
iy passed over to the scrutiny and
criticism of their successors, doubt
less many fair regulations will be
blasted forever. This is the ruin
that many of the ruin shriekers are
most anxious to avert, and for the
very best of personal reasons.

CHEATING.

Possibly the Democrats are no
better than the Republicans in point
of honesty.
The Republicans say so.
But in experience in counting in
an unchosen candidate the Republi-
cans have the decided advantage of
the case of Hayes.
No cheating is our motto. 1t was
Mr.. TildOn's. Cheating was Hayes
motto.

VOL. VIII. ISLAND POND VERMONT, FRIDAY, FEBRUA

And you are really Miss Fairfax 7"
said Arthur to his black-eyed patient.
I'm so glad"
"And you're Mr.. Delancey," said
Fidelia; "I'm so glad" and then she
blushed.
"My dear Miss Fairfax" +" said Arthur,
then, bluntly, "may l hope that we
may both retain our hundred thousand
dollarsp"
"Do you mean retain it with honorP"
she asked, blushing again.
Eyes. Don't you think it would be
shame to destroy the calculations of
that good old soul, Queerby, who is
now no moreP Don't you think we
ought to do as he wished us toP"
"Ask pa, DOCTOR" said black-eyes.
Araminta," said Uriah, "this meet
ing is auspicious. II-will you-will
you-n
Il understand you, Uriah. Take
me-" returned the angular one, and
they again shook hands feebly.
Two months later, at Mr.. Fairfax's
cosy little house, the guests were assem-
bled to witness the wedding cere-
monies of two couples. They were
Arthur and Fidelia and Uriah and Ara
minta.
After they had been happily united
and congratulated, Mr.. Fairfax, who
was consoling Mrs. Delaney for the loss
of her son, said: " My dear Mrs. De-
lancey, you are a comfortable sort of
woman and am comfortable sort of
man. have been made tonight a
father to your son and you mother to
my daughter. Do you know of any just
cause and impediment in the way of our
becoming, ahem-"
1t appearing that she did not, the
services of the minister was again put
in requisition, and the old folks were
not the least happy of the party.

RaSe-RaII Oddities.

Here are some odd incidents of last
seasons games:
O'Rourke, of the Providence nine,
made the longest throw last season-l25
yards.
! A sixteen-inning game was played,
May "a, at Syracuse, between two anna
teur clubs. Score to 3.
Walker, of the Buffalos, while playing
against the Troys, June 20, struck out
FIVE times in succession.
The fielding of the Buffalos at Chi
cago, August 5. 6 and 7, was wonderful.
They had 1913 chances offered them and
took them all!
In a Boston Cincinnati game a foul
ball hit the umpire and made complete
wreck of valuable gold watch in his
vest pocket.
In the Troy-Boston game, August 90,
only three balls were pitched in one
inning TO put the Boston nine out; and
six balls put out the Troys in the same
inning.
In a game at Syracuse foul tip hit
Dorgon, the catcher, and bounded so
high that the pitcher caught it before it
touched the ground. Dorgon just
"headed it off.
Fifteen games were concluded last
season with the score tied, three being
PLAYED on September Is, and the Albanys
and Troys playing two tie games in sue
.cession in October.
The Springfelds and Troys seem to
have been the champion kickers" last
year. They each withdrew on account ol
the umpiring twice. Albany and New
Bedford made similar exhibitions Of
themselves once each.
Two boys died from being struck with
balls during 1879. And another boy
was leaning on his gun watching the
game at Evansville, Ind, when a fou
ball struck the hammer of his gun anC
discharged it, killing him instantly.

The Engine.


Into the gloom OF the deep, dark night,
With painting breath and startled scream
Swift as a bird in sudden flight
Darts this creature OF steel AMI steam.
Awful dangers are lurking nigh,
Rocks and chasms are near the track,
But straight by the light of its great white eye
1t speeds thro' the shadows, dense and black.
Terrible thoughts and fierce desires
Trouble its mad heart many an hour,
Where burn and smolder the hidden fires,
Coupled over with might and power.
1t hates as a wild horse hates the rein,
The narrow track by vale and hill;
And shrieks with cry OF startled pain,
And longs to follow its own wild will.
Oh, what am but an engnd shod
With muscle and flesh by the hand of God,
Speeding on thro' the dense, dark night,
Guided alone by the souls white light.
Often and often my mad heart tires,
And hates its way with bitter hate,
And longs to follow its own desires,
And leave the end in the hands OF fate.
Oh, ponderous engine of steel and steam;
Oh, human engine of flesh and bone
Follow the white lights certain beam
There lies safety, and there alone.
The narrow track OF fearless truth,
Lit by the souls great eye of light,
Oh, passionate heart OF restless youth,
Alone will carry you thro' the night.
Ella Wheeler, in Inter Ocean.

HOW SnectacIes are Made.

A writer in the Philadelphia Pres
says: The white lens in use in the
ordinary spectacle of commerce is made
of the common window pane glass rolled
in sheets; sometimes it is made into
balls. From these are cut pieces of
about one and quarter to one and a
half inches in size; they are then taken
into the grinding room and each piece
cemented separately upon what is called
lap of semi-circular shape. These
are made to fit into a corresponding
curve or saucer, into which fine emery
powder is introduced and subjected to a
swift rotary motion. The gradual curve
in the lap gives to the glass as it is
ground corresponding shape, until the
desired center is reached; the lap is then
taken out and subjected to warmth,
which melts the cement sufficiently to
permit the glass being removed and
turned upon the opposite side, when the
same process. is renewed. This being
completed, the lenses are detached again
from the lap and taken to another de-
partment, where they are shaped to fit
the frames. This is accomplished by a
machine of extreme delicacy. Each
piece of glass is put separately upon n
rest, when diamond is brought to bear
upon it, moving in the form of an oval.
thus cutting the desired size; but the
edges, of course, are rough and sharp,
and must be beveled. For this purpose
they are turned over into another set Of
hands, mostly girls, who have charge
of the grindstones, which are about six
inches in thickness. Each operator is
provided with a gauge; the glass is
taken between the foreiinger and thumb
and held sufficiently sideways to pro-
duce half the desired bevel; when this
is attained it is again turned and the
other side of the bevel completed.
During this process it is constantly
guaged in order to ascertain that the
frame will close upon it without too
much pressure, which would break the
lens.
The next process to which the lens
is subjected is that of " focusing" and
requires extreme care. The person hay.
ing this department. to attend to is placed
in u small room alone; across the en-
trance is hung curtain, which is only
drawn aside sufficiently to admit the
required amount of light from q window
several feet away, upon one of the top
panes of which is placed n piece of
heavy cardboard with small hole cut
in the center representing the bull's-eye
of target. Through this the rays of
light shine upon the lens in the hands
of workman and are reflected through
it to dark background. The lens is
then moved back and forth upon an
inch measure until the proper focus is
attained. Say, for instance, the extreme
end of the measure is sixty-two inches,
the lens is placed at that, but does not
focus; it is gradually moved along inch
by inch, until, perhaps, it is brought to
thirty-six inches. At this the proper
height of center or focus is attained,
and it is then numbered thirty six. The
same operation is of course necessary
with every lens. This accounts for the
numbers which are upon spectaclcs or
glasses of any kind when purchased.

In 1850.
In Seventeen -Hundred-Eighty
They sat by household fires,
And talked OF matters weighty,
Our grandams and our sires;
They talked of matters weighty,
While broad the blaze uprolled,
Beside their hearths in Eighty,
That time of awful cold.
The hard frost figured grimly
Along the window glass
How large the old-time chimney!
How wide the fireplace was!
The solid Goals dropped under,
The brazen andirons glowed,
The fore-stick fell asunGer,
Deep riffs the backlog showed.
They talked of wives and widows,
OF woes that war revealed,
While round the walls the shadows
OfBritish armies wheeled;
Ihey talked OF Earl CORVALLIS,
OF Britain and her might;
Their cause their only solace,
Their only strength the right.
They told of insults wanton,
And guessed with forward view,
At what Sir Henry Clinton,
With opening spring, would do.
They named each friendly nation
France, Holland, even Spain,
And gathered consolation
From Stony Point and Wayne.
With retrospective fervor,
They talked OF Charlestown Neck,
OF Gates by Hudson river,
And Arnold at Quebec.
Recalling men and places,
And battles lost or won,
They breathed with ardent faces
The name Of Washington.
They talked OF gloom impending,
They spoke OF doubtful stars,
OF shoeless men contending
With red-coat regulars.
And thus with matters weighty,
Things past or things to come,
Each household hearth in Eighty
Was stirred as by the drum.
The warrior cold stood sentry,
At windows and at doors;
The sitting snow found entry,
And streaked the sanded floors.
But ever with the knitting,
Or with the open book,
Went thought to Clinton fitting,
Or Howe off Sandy Hook.
