York, Sept. THE Herald of to-day
says 1.-THE telegraphic dispatches
from different points in New England
this morning inform US that something
like plague of darkness fell upon
many parts of that unhappy section
yesterday. In Providence the sun al
most refused to shed ray Of light even
at midday, and the gas had to be turned
on. 1t was discovered, however, that
even this had given out, and the old-
fashioned tallow "dip" came into req
uisition. Boston witnessed some Curl
GUS atmospherical phenomena. The
green Of the famous common changed
its color to a hue never before seen at
the Hub" The gas jets became mag
nified into small electric lights and the
whole sky assumed yellowish tinge.-
No one can tell what it all means. One
theory is that the Canadian forest fires
are responsible. Another is that there
is something wrong with the shorter
and longer waves of light, and that the
yellow and green have dissolved part
nership. If it were the orange and
green that had fallen out we could easi-
ly account for the situation"

is fact not to be forgotten by the peo-
pie of Virginia that Malone, and CAM

servative. Democrats up to the State
Convention of 1877, when General Ma
hone was himself a candidate for Gov
ernor. and was defeated.
1t is fact also not to be forgotten that,
up to that time, they were "bottom.dol
lar' men, and, like Shylock, demanded
the "quivering flesh" and last drop of
blood in discharge of the State debt.
Why, then, do they occupy the unen-
viable position they now mold? SIM
ply because Malone failed to get the
nomination at the hands of the Demo-

Sweet is the babbling water

And dark are the boughs, and darker

AS they sang in spring;
Their flight in rapture winging
While glad notes ring,
Brooklet and brown sweet water

Leaflets DER leaflets hanging
Sunbeams that stray;
Flower-bells on moss that sparkle
Sweet as the spray;
Rocks where the waters darkle,
Eddy, and play.
What heed the green trees waving,
Shadowy sweet;
What need the waters laving
Rocks at my feet;
What need the birds sweet singing,
Note upon note;
What need the echoes thrilling,
Far as they float?
Only kindred echo,
Sweeter than they;
Only voice to answer
My voice to-day;
Only the eyes of lover
To gaze in mine,
Here where the shadows hover,
In shade divine.

KISS ME SWEET.

BY MRS. G. H. SCRANTON.
Put your arms around me. darling,
Little arms SO dimpled. fair;
Lift your little face SO char ming,
Framed in rings of golden hair.
Kiss me sweet, my precious treasure,
Look love from your eyes SO true
Stolen rays they are, azure,
Bits of heavens own cloudless blue.
Cherry lips. that oft caress me,
Give me one sweet kiss to- might;
You are an on earth that's let me.
Do not loves own prayer light.
Only just two years, my darling,
Since with folded wings you came;
Years thought would be so charming,
But instead were full OF pain
Yea, and utter desolatior.
Save for you, my fair-hair, boy;
Give me, then. in salutation,
Kisses sw Get, without alloy.
You will never know, my dear one.
How that mild September day
Left my heart SO sad and Ion. some,
AS winged angels bore away,
Far beyond our earthly vision,
Far up through the ether blue,
Tsok to bask in fields elysian,
Papa's spirit, tried and true.
But. my darling, he was ready,
Waiting for the summons, TOO
Oft he laid, in voice unsteady.
"Why dost bind me so to you?
Don't long to be with Jesus,
Free from earthly care and pain,
And you know. If Him it pleases,
Very soon we'll meet again."
And the angels ope'd the gateway.
Pearly gates, with bars of gold,
And in arms OF love they strMghtway
Bore him to the heavenly fold.
Kiss me. then, my baby trea ure;
Drive the sadness from my brow;
Give me always, without measure,
Love signs just as you do now.
And when the baby loves outgrown,
And you're strong and sturdy youth,
Or, later yet. bronze-faced man,
o! love me still, in very truth.

TALMAGE'S MOTHER.
One of the most affecting reminiscent
ces Of my mother is my remembrance
of her as a Christian housekeeper. She
worked very hard, and when we would
come in from summer play and sit
down at the table at noon I remember
how she used to come in with beads of
perspiration along the gray hair, and
how she would sometimes sit down at the
table and put her head against her
wrinkled hand and say: "WeIl, the fact
is I am too tired to eat" Long after she
might have delegated this duty to others
she would not be satisfied unless she at
tended to this matter herself. In fact,
we all preferred to have her to do SO, for
somehow things tasted better when she
prepared them. Long afterward in the
express train shot past that old home
stead. I looked out of the window and
tried to peer through the darkness.
While was doing so one of my old
schoolmates, whom had not seen for
many years. tapped me on the shoulder
and said DE Witt, see you are look-
ing out at the scenes of your boyhood. "
"Oh, yes," I replied, II was looking

and died." That night in the cars the

To do this, arbitrary control must be

its acts is thrown 10 a greater or less
extent upon the child. The mother
must show him good and evil, set be-
fore him the benefits to be derived
from one course of action, the evils or
disadvantages resulting from another,
and let him occasionally choose for him
self. OF course judgment must be eX-
ercised in reference TO what the choice
is between, and nothing of great mo-
ment left TO the option of the very
young, or one entirely unaccustomed

One of the most prominent public

This testimony is the more valuable
as it comes from man who probably
possesses more personal popularity
than anv living American, and who
owes it to the magnetic charm of his
sincerity and courtesy Of manner.

There is no personal quality which
young people are SO apt to neglect as
this, OF an attractive, magnetic manner,
which is so much more potent and en-
during charm than the beauty of
face and figure which they prize so
highly Ii is not like the art of dane

attractive when artificial. All the

stinct hen the suavity, the genial smile,
the friendly word, are assumed.
The basis, the absolute essential, in
thoroughly well-bred manner is
that total lack of self-consciousness
which not the most expert actor can
assume. Hence all the awkwardness,
the diifidence, the social mistakes OF
boys and girls. They are usually in

how insignificant they arc, they will

Founder in Horses.

Founder, a disease that is far too
common in horses, is caused most fire.

NAL till it is overheated, and more or
less exhausted, and then allowing him
to cool off suddenly without rubbing
dry horse is driven hard for sew
eral miles and then hitched to post
in the open air in cold winter weather,
and perhaps forgotten by the driver,
who NAV be telling stories, or smoking
cigar by warm fire. The next
morn Nc. if not sooner, it is noticed
that the animal has not eaten well, and
can scarcely move from the stall. The
lameness may be chiefly in one limb, or
in more than one. DIR. Cressy, in his
recent lecture before the Connecticut
Board of Agriculture, said that any ease
of founder can be cured if taken within
thirty hours of the attack.
The first thing 10 do is to place the
horses feet in tubs of warm water,
then blanket heavily, and get the ami
NAL thoroughly warm all over. The
lameness is caused by a stagnation of
the blood in the feet, caused by being
cooled too rapidly after exhausting la

extends and softens the blood vessels.
and favors increased circulation. In
very bad cases, bleeding in the foot
NAV be necessary, though ordinarily ii
may be dispensed with
Knowing the cause of founder, it will
be seen that it is much easier TO pre-
vent than to cure this disease after it
becomes established. In the first place
avoid very severe driving and over ex-
haustion, but if abuse OF this kind is
unavoidable, see to it that the horse
who has risked his life in the service OF
his master is not neglected at the end
OF his journey. Drive into a warm
shed or barn, free from cold draughts.
and rub vigorously till the animal Is
