Now, as well as ever, want that which will
best contribute TO the happiness of

TEwKsBURY REVELATIONS.

Further Testimony Showing the Misman-
agement at the Massachusetts, Aims
House.
BosToN, May 10.-In the Tewksbury inyes-
tigation to-day Richard Morey testified that
his aunt, Ellen Allen, went to Tewksbury in
March, 1877. She had money with her. He
understood about $50; also some iewelry
and valuable clothing. His aunt died at the
Institution in May, and his father was I'M
able to obtain either the body, clothing or
money, and got no satisf ction whatever.
The cash book shows credit of 81 received
from this inmate. Arthur Phipper, book
keeper for a firm of coal dealers, testified
that a number of tons of coal were sent by
him to Exeter, N. H., by order of Captain
Marsh. The Governor said he proposed to
prove this was paid for by the State. The
witness identified certain bills for coal
which were in Marsh's private accounts,
but which have been paid by the State
Auditor.

CASTLE BUILDING.

"whst are you building. darling?"
asked of my grille fair.
AS she quietly sat on the hearth-rug,
Piling her blocks with care,
While the rudy glow OF the freight
Danced in her golden hair.
ar am building castle, mother"
MY little maid replied.
"These are the walls around IL,
And here Is a gateway wide,
And this is the winding stair
To climb up by the side"
SO the busy, fitting fingers
Went on with her pretty play,
And the castle walls were rising
In the fading winter day,
When-a sudden, luekless motion.
And all In ruins lay
All, merry little builder,
The years with stealthy feet
May bring full many a vision
Ofcastles rare and sweet,
That end like your baby pasrme-
In ruin sad and fleet.
Yes, laugh DER the toy walls fsllen,
For sunshine follows rain,
And we may smile, looking backward
At ruined shrine and fame.
While the heart has shattered temples
IL may not build again.

1t is alleged that the Republicans of the
cert a scheme to had off Butler. 1t is stated
that they determined to rush through the
appropriation bills, and then announce that
they are ready to be prorogued, throwing on
the Governor the responsibility of keeping
them in session. 1t was also stated that they
will import witnesses from Washington to
prove that Governor Butler was there Feb
ruary %, when the safety deposit bill was
vetoed, thus proving the illegality of the
veto; also. that they will endeayor to squelch
further publication of the results of the
Tewksbury investigation. The story is high

part OF IL, as the defense is about to begin,
and IL there is an abundant defense, as Re-
pEblicans have sll along claimed, it woHld
be certainly to theft advantage to have it
