Thy mellow tone ] Iovo 10 hear,
was boy when first they fcll
I. relody upon my ear;
In those dear days long past and gone,
When sporting here in boyish glee,
The magic Of thy Sabbath tone,
Awoke emotions deep in me.
Lon, years have gone, and have strsyed
Out DER the world, far, far away,
But thy Fear tones have round me played
On every lovely Sabbath day.
when strolling DER the mighty plains
spr,sd widely in the uspeopled West,
Each Sabbath morn I've heard thy strains
Toiiipg the welcome day Of rest.
Upon the Rocky mountains crest
Where Christian feet have never trod,
In the dfep bosom OF The West
I've thought Of thee and worshiped God
Ring on, sweet belli I've come again
To hear thy cherished call 10 prayer.
There's less Of pleasure now than pain
In those dear tones which al my ear.
Ring on, ring on, dear beli ring oni
Once more I've come with whitened head
To hear thee toa The sounds are gonei
And ere this Sabbath day has sped
shall be gone, and may no more
Give ear to thee, sweet Sabbath beli!
Dear church and bell, 30 loved Of yore,
And childhood's happy home, farewell.

70 voices that arose
After the evenings close
And whispered TO my restless heart rspose! |!
Go, breathe II in the ear
OF 81 Who doubt and fesr,
And say 10 them, "Be of good cheer I"
Ye sounds 20 low and calm
That in the groves of balm
Seemed TO me like an angels psalm,
Go, mingle yet once more
With the perpetual roar
OF the pine forest dark and hosr.
Tongues Of the sad, not lost
But speaking from deaths frost,
Like fiery tongues at Peptecost,
Glimmer ~ funeral lamps
Amid the chills and damps
OF the vast plain where Death eneamps

Where Oh earth was it found, my

"It ItsNes never lost" said Marian,
quietly.T
And Chen she told them all.
"Old Mr.. Rushford knev of his
nephew's love Tor Miss ! Hpntley, and
did not approve Of il. m he feared
that to oppose it would a. fcon8rm the
fancy. He had great sonfdence in me,
gentlemen, and revealed to me his plans.
l knew the contents Of both the Wills.
During his last illness he gave the true
one into my care, with instructions to
conceal il six months. BY that time
my nephew will be thought Of as poor
man., said he, 'and the girl who fools
him with pretense of love will show
herself in her true colors.' This letter,
NJ. Rnshford, will confirm my words;
and il" she added, timidly, "if l have
sinned in parting You from your love,
oh, pardon me Perhaps she may yet
be won, now you are rich again, and l.
but obeyed the wishes of the dead"
And in SO doing earned my last
ing gratitude" cried Robert, warmly.
FLORENCE is not worth winning. / can
imagine no more miserable life than that
which must fall to the lot of her hus-
band. And it is worth more than the
fortune TO know that in you 1 find true
woman at last, whose heart and mind do
not belle her face, but. one is as lovely
as the other"
He stopped short, for wilde's hand
was on his arm.
Read your letter first" said that
gentleman, coolly, "and then Wen read
the will"
Robert obeyed him.
"The letter confirms Marian's state
ment," said he, "and contains the ex-
preston of wish. DO you know what
that wish is ?" he asked her.
"No," she answered, in surprise 81
do not"
"But you would advise me to endeav-
or to comply with it of course-you who
fulfilled his wishes SO religiously? and
this wish is also my own. Yes, my most
earnest DESIRE"
Marian laughed sweetly.
"It should be easy to comply with,
then, she said.
"It will be to me, but it depends upon
anothei-upon you T.
upon me 2"
"Yes, dearest Marian, upon you. Mr..
Wilde here is going to inform me, 1

upon one condition. Can you guess
what it is ?"
Her eyes fell beneath his--the con-
scious crimson dyed her fair soft cheeks.
"I will not guess" she said. "You
shall tell me-"
He caught her little futtering hand
and raised it to his lips.
"If take fortune from this precious
hand, give me the hand az WELL" he
said. Darling Marian, L love you I.

"With my whole heart? And you,

"Oh, have loved you long," she
whispered on his breast.
They were married, and the finding of

since they shared the fortune together.

cola.iFebruary.

Devol, new weather prophet OF
New Jersey, writing to the New
York Sun, gives the following prog
nostications for February:
February will be month long to
be remembered on acco ant of its
frequent and heavy snow storm 3
and sudden falls in temperature.
More snow viii fail during. that
month for this section than has fall
len for the past two years combined.
1t will enter warm and slushy ii
the 9Th, when it will change sud-
denly. Snow storms wilt occur
about the 9Th, 9th, 10th, 18th, ord,
and 9th. Rain will fall on the Sd,
18th, 18th, and 9th. The average
temperature will be lower than the
month previous. The winds will
be very high from northwest, shift
ing suddenly to northeast. Parties
having goods to ship West should
hurry them off before the snt w
bIockades set in. Shows will H.
crease in the Ohio Valley, and the
heavy rains will move to the South
Atlantic States, and the tempera-
ture in that section will be unusually
high and the prevailing winds will
be from southeast. In the Eastern
States the prevailing winds will be
from the north, with very cold
weather and heavy SHOWS.
In Canada the weather will be
very severe, and the temperature
will be lower than it has been for
many years, and railroad traffic
will be nearly suspended. The coal
dealers should hasten the transport
tation OF coal without delay.

The Benefit OF Laughter,

Nothing on earth can smile but
the race of man. Gems may flash
reflected light, but what is a dia-
moud flash compared with an eye
flash and mirth flash? Flowers can
not smile; this is charm which
even they cannot claim. Birds can
not smile nor can any living thing.
1t is the prerogative of man. 1t is
the color which love wears and
cheerfulness and joy-these three.
1t is the light in The window of the
face by which the heart signifies to
father, husband and friend that it il
at home and waiting. A face that
cannot smile is like bud that can
not blossom and dries upon the
stalk. Laughter is day and sobrie-
ty is night, and smile is the twi-
light that hovers gently between
both, and is more bewitching than
either.

The first vaccine Factory


Probably the first vaccine factory
established in this country is in a
barn on the property of Mr.. Law
renee, at Cos Cob. a number of
inverted saW-hOrSes, some straps, a
few razors, Il stool or two, quantities
of quilts, and calves in a pen, are
all that there is to- be seen. One
man does all the work, and yet
from this barn vaccine matter is
sent to Japan, Europe, California,
and all over the United States.
Fosters quilts are known to every
physician in this part of the country.
This is his factory. Business in
quilts has been very brisk this win
ter. 1t was not until DR.. Foster
had experimental and tried num-
Der of times that the vaccine at la t
took" The first calf innOculated
successfully was from vaccine inn
ported from Europe. From this
calf it was given to another, and SO
on for twelve years to the present
time. From one calf as many as
700 quilts have been taken it va
riCs, however, with different calves.
White animals are preferred, as
their skin is more tender. They
are in most cases hired from the far
mers around and then returned.
The operation on the calves is not a
difficult one, nor do they suffer and
afterward die as many suppose.
But on the contrary they are said
to he benefited by it. They do not
suffer any more pain than a person
who is vaccinated, for the process is
the same only that the calf has hum
dreds of missions instead of one.
There is COW in the village said to
be the animal which was first vac
cinated twelve years ago. 1t has
always been considered an excellent
COW,

The Troubles OF Lo,
Chicago Tribune.


"You have broken my heart,
Vivian"
1t was fair haired girl who spoke
these words, and as they came from
her lips Vivian Mahony, the young
man to whom they were addressed,
leaned tenderly over Ferida Peter
son and stroVe TO kiss away the
tears that were swelling up her
beautiful dreamy, dark brown
eyes.
~ do not blame yOu," she con-
tinued in a broken voice. tShe
whom you will one day wed is fair
to look upon, and when her warm
kisses melt upon your lips it is not
strange that you forget all else but
that she would gladly he your wife
and her father owns a coal yard.
"But l love you with IA mad,
deathless passion that will burn out
my life in the intensity of its flame.
You have won my scandinavian
affections unwittingly, but you have
won them all the same. In the
years that are to come Vivian, when
your children are playing at your
knee and life seems like fair
dream, you will sometimes think
of me-sometimes let a tender
thought lie in your heart for the
flaxen haired girl that knew no
happiness SO great as to hear your
voice and see the CLEAN of the mat
inee tickets in your vest pocket?
Tell me this, and when the leaves
have turned brown under the
blightning touch of autumn's chilly
hand, and | shall be put away for
ever in the little dell beyond the
meadow, you will lead to the altar
a happy bride and never know the
sorrow | have felt"
"By yOn bright moon / swear"
said Vivian, taking another kiss on
the fly, "that your memory shall
ever be enshrined in my heart.
Though my life be one of tempest
and storm, or succession Of sunny
days, shall always remember that
you were my first, my only love-"
He was about to impress another
kiss on the rosy lips upheld to his,
when a dull thud was heard at the
rear Of his pants, and Vivian lay
SenSeleSs on the sidewalk.
Old Mr.. Peterson had opened the
front door and adjourned the meet
ing.

in a shabby, time-worn dress,
Took her seat a half hour later
In the crowded night express.

As he held her dlmpled hand,
And sighed for the sad heart breaking
All over the troubled land.
He tenderly wiped the tear-dfops
From the blue eyes Drumming DER,
And guarded her footsteps safely
Till she reached the White House door

But the eyes were kind and mild
That turned with a look OF wonder

IT was a New England girl who
asked: "Why is it that two souls.
mated in the impenetrable mystery
Of their nativity, float by each other
on the ocean currents of existence
without being instinctively drawn
together, blended and beautified in
the assimiiated alembic of eternal
lOve?" That is an easy one. 1t is
because butter is 40 cents "a pound
and a good sealskin sacque costs as
high as $500. The necessaries of
life must experience a fail in price
before two souls will readily blend
in the assimilated alembic and So

THE Memphis Appeal did all in
its power against the 1908 settle
ment, called it names and was as
violently opposed to it as any man.
But listen to what it now says in re-
gard TO the question:
EVERY honest citizen, when he
reads the testimony adluced before
the Legislative Investigating Com
mittee at Nashville, heartily as
named of the disgrace it infiicts up
onTennessee, will finally determine,
should the Supreme court affirm
the 1908 bill, to vote against any
and all men who propose to reopen
the State debt question. So far it
has been fruitful only of bribery and
corruption, and the stigma of repu-
diation to the state.

Exciting sport Of Young Geor-
III Eastman Times.


The boys up on WalIan's creek,
in this county, have adopted nov
ell way to gobble up wild gobblers.
When they take it into their heads
to make a raid on this monstrous
wild bird they simply provide
themselves with fleet horses and a
pack of dogs rs their only imple-
ments of warface. Thus equipped,
they HE away to the woods, and
when they find their game they
simply put spurs to their horses
and proceed to chase as though it
were fox instead of turkey. a
fat gobbler, it is said, cannot fly a
great distance, and when he pitches
if on the ground, he takes to his
heels till he is so closely pursued by
the dogs that he is compelled to re-
sort again TO his wings for safety.
Thus the chase is kept up continu-
ously until the gobbler becomes
completely tagged out, and can
neither run nor fly, when, of course,
he has TO succumb to his pursueTs.
1t was IN this way that G. N. RIO.
Ear, John Peacock and Charlie
Flood captured two fine gobblers,
weighing respectively sixteen and
eighteen pounds, during the Christ.
mas holidays. The smaller one
was chased about nine miles and
the other about eight.
