After recent violent storm on the

thus prepared.
1t is related by DIR. Foote'S Health

The statement that Lockport man
has received a contract to construct a
part of the Panama Canal at million
a mile, or seven miles for about seven
million dollars, will doubtless not only
create an increased sense of direct
American interest in this enterprise, but
will seem to be a guarantee of energy
in pushing it forward. The dredges
and derricks will soon be forwarded to
Panama for this purpose. These evil
dences of life in the Chagres project
will perhaps stimulate the managers Of
the Nicaragua scheme to increased ex-

THE NEW DEPoT-BUsINEss-RELIG-
IOUS-SICKnESS.

The bias to the Queen Anne's side
for our new depot buildings which was
apparent in the last l penned for your
columns, gave rise to some dissenting
ON the part of some of our citizens who
contend still for the erection of these
buildings on this side of the Tuckahoe. |
l have only to say, that in so far as the |
eligibility of the site is questioned, the
Queen Anne's side has all the argu-
ments. No buildings more than one
solitary dwelling at the present station,
and that for the boss of the section
men, have been erected, although the
road has been in operation for several
years; and the presumption is very
strong, that should the station remain
for the years to come in the same place
the spirit of Improvement thereabouts
would not very greatly increase, and
for the reason, among others, because
the location is not at all eligible for
business purposes. As it repaid the in
creased amount of patronage ON the
other side, is another reason why the
railroad authorities will do we'll to
change the location the agent at the
station is my authority.
Business is dull and it's dulness is felt
in all lines of trade and traffic. There
is little doing. The working classes
are idle in large measure. Not o
factory, not a business enterprise of
any character that promises to the
honest toiler continued employment
and fair compensation, and one of the
unfailing consequences is they are
leaving our town for other parts. We
have NO less than six dwelling houses
empty, and the seventh will be vacated
in a month. The town of Smyrna
could not long survive an exodus like
this, and what of village of our popu.
latiOn. We must have capital invested
that will give to the working classes O
both sexes and all ages, steady labor
and fair wages, or our doom is sound

THE GREAT HYMN OF
ABELARD.

o what shall be, o when shall be, that Holy
Sabbath day,
Which heavenly care shall ever keep and cele
brate alway,
When rest is found for weary limbs when labor
hath reward,
When everything, forever more, is joyful in the
Lord?
The true Jerusalem above, the holytown, is there,
Whose duties so full of joy, whose JOY so free
from care;
Where disappointment cometh not to check the
longing heart,
And where the heart, in ecstacy, hath gained her
better part
o glorious King, o happy state place of the
blest!
0 sacred peace and holy JOY and perfect, heaven
ly rest!
To Thee aspire Thy citizens in glory's bright
array,
And what they feel and what they know they
strive in vain to say.
For while we wait and long for home, it shall be
ours to raise
Our songs and chants and vows and prayers in
that dear countrys praise;
And from these Babylonian streams to lift our
weary eyes,
And view the city that we love descending from
the skies.
There, there secure from every ill, in freedom we
shall sing
The songs of Zion hindered here by days of suf
Gering,
And unto Thee. our gracious Lord, our praises
shall confess
That all our sorrow hath been good and Thou b!
pain canst bless.
There Sabbath day to Sabbath day sheds on
ceaseless light,
Eternal pleasure of the saints who keep that sab
bath bright;
Nor shall the chant ineffable decline, nor eve
cease,
Which we with all the angels sing in that sweC
realm of peace.

Mrs. Lille Devereux Blake in a re-

our individualities, and are tired of
being merged as the legal phrase
describes matrimony, with mankind.
l saw the other day a stout German
with his pale and feeble wife get into
a crowded horse car. A gentleman
rose to give the wife seat, but the
big, fat husband seized it, settled him
self back, and folded his arms, looking
complacently at his wife standing
alone.
"sir," said the irate gentleman, 81
gave the lady my seat"
The husband looked surprised,
shrugged his shoulders, and replied {:
'Oh, dot vos all righdt, dot vos mine
wife and he kept the seat. She was
merged
It's hard now to make people real
ize what absolute equality means in
the married relation, but the day is
coming when the wife and the husband
shall not stand in the attitudes oi

paniOns, and equals. Woman shall fiji
herself for this position by superior
education. The time has gone by wher

For April, LipplncOttS is varied and
recreat!ve beyond it's wont. First the
artistic capabilities of East Hampton,
Long Island, are discussed. To artists
they are evidently conspicuous, for
they favor it greatly. Pilgrimage |

its fresh treatment of recent local
topics of conversation and reverent re-
gard for celebrities.
From Rowell's new Newspaper Direc-
tory, it appears that the total number of
newspapers and periodicals in the
United States and Territories is now
IL 1876, an increase of 585 in twelve
months. The most remarkable change
has occurred in the Territories, in
which thedaily papers have grown from
43 to So, and the weeklies from 1863 to
243. The number of fmonthlies through
out the country now number 1904 as
against $40 last year, while the dailies
have grown from 996 to 1,O62.
The Golden Days, which has become
the popular children's paper, has taken
on cover, and is otherwise greatly i'm
proved. Its growth in business was
recently illustrated in a suit brought
to prevent its running its presses at
night. A paper which requires to do
this is evidently possessed of large
circulation. And this is deservsdly
the case. The Golden Days strikes
with rare success the happy mean of
of an interesting story paper without
degenerating into freshness. 1t is
possessed of a healthful moral tone,
and is increasingly attractive. 1t de-
serves its abundant success.
