There lived fool in the world. For a
long time he remained content and happy;
but slowly rumors reached him that every

Grieved was the fool, and began to think
how he could stop these ISLANDERS. A sudden
idea lightened his poor, darkened brain, and
without delay he began to execute it.
He met an acquaintance on the street, who

"Beg pardon are you not ashamed This
book is good for nothing all have long ago
abandoned it.
And this acquaintance also made haste to
quickly agree with the fool.
"What marvellous man is my friend, N.

"Why !" exclaimed the fool, IN. N. is
known to be a scoundrel to have robbed all
his relatives Who does not know that l
pity you!"
The third acquaintance did as the others,
and forgot his friend. Whosoever or what
soever was praised in the presence of the
fool, he made always similar reply, adding
sometimes the refrain, "And you believe yet
in authorities" ?"
Malicious, captious man !" began the
FOOLS acquaintances to say of him, 'but
what head !" 'And what tongue !" added
Others "Ah he is a man of talent !"
1t ended in a publishers asking the fool

During some excavations not far from

skeletons of extraordinary size, many being

each other, and beside them were weapons,
brooches and ear rings in bronze. Many
horns and bones of animals were also found,
one being that of mammoth, while others
were similar to those found under the ancient

How Watch Cases are Made.

In buying a silver watch case great care
should be taken TO secure one that is solid
silver throughout. The cap Of most cheap
silver cases is made of a composition known
as albata, which is very poor substitute
for silver, as it turns black in a short time.
The backs of such cases are made much
thinner than those of an all silver case,
being robbed in order to make the cap
thicker and get in as much as possible OF
the cheap metal. Another important point
inasilver case is the joints or hinges, which
should be made of gold. Those Of most
cheap cases are made OF silver, which is
not suitable metal for that purpose. In
a brief period it warps, bends and spreads
apart, allowing the backs to become loose
upon the case and admitting the dust and

Miscellany.


Tho old Earth lying bare and cold,
Beneath the winter sky,
Beheld the storm-king marshal forth
His battle force on high.
"Ah sOOu,' she said, 'beneath the snow
Fun warmly shall lie.'
The wind unfurled his banners
And rushed into tho fray,
The round moon hid her jolly face
Within a cloud Of gray,
And not one single star peepcd out,
To drive the gloom away.
The snow, encamped behind cloud,
Sent flying, here and there,
It's white-winged heralds TO proclaim
Its presence ia the air;
Until, at last, the fairy host
Burst from its cloudy lair.
The snow-nakes rushing downward,
Each IN whirling dance,
Before the winds are driven
Like armies by the lance;
But still, upon the waiting Earth
The shining hosts advance.
The wild wind, shreking as he goes,
Flies tiercely 10 and fro,
Aud strives, with all bis mighty force,
To sweep away the snow;
But brayey still the soft fakes fall
Upon the Earth below.
All white and swift It settles down,
Though BOreas howl and storm,
TIL soft az Summers green the robe
It folds about her form,
No drapery Of leaf and flower
Could make the Earth 30 warm.
II charges with no battle-cry;
But pure, and soft, aud still,
II falls upon the waiting Earth,
Its promise TO fulnl:
Aud fois the angry, shrieking wind
BY force of gentle will.
The foe has furled his banners,
And hasteued from the fray;
The round moon peeps with jolly face
From out the cloud Of gray;
And all the stars come twinkllng out
To see who gained the day.
There all the earth lay shining
In garments pure aud white
The snow fulfilled its mission,
And, conquering IN the fight,
Had warmed the old Earth to the heart,
Beneath It's mantle white.

AN OLD Song ANALYzED. You all know
the old "Sng song of sixpence," but have
you ever read what it is meant for?
The four-and-twenty blackbirds represent
the twenty -four hours. The bottom of the
pie is the world, while the top crust is the
sky that overarches it, The opening of the
pie is the day dawn, when the birds begin to
sing, and surely such a sight is fit for king.
The king, who is represented as sitting in
his parlor counting out his money, is the sun,
while the gold pieces that slip through his
fingers as he counts them are the golden sun
shine
The queen, who sits in the dark kitchen,
is the moon, aud the honey, with which she
regales herself, is the moonlight.
The industrious maid, who is in the garden
at work before the king-the sun-has risen,
is day dawn, and the clothes she hangs out
are the clouds, while the Bird who so tragi-
cally ends the song by ''nipping of her nose, I"
is the hour of sunset. So we have the whole
day, if not in a nutshell, in a pie. Toronto

a Few Facts for the People Of Brat
IIebOrO TO Consider.

tIebOrO 20 Consider.
Nothing in the future is any more certain
than that there will be a railroad from Reads
boro city to the east end of the Hoosic tun-
mel. It will then be only 10 miles from Viii
mington village, and it is as certain as any
thing in the future can be that the road will
be extended up the Deerfeld river to Will
mington, as it will be an easy grade and cheap
building. If any road can be built for $40,
600 per mile that can. Wilmington is alive
for a road out someway and will have it. viii
mington alone can ensure the building of this
road, but Nottingham can be depended upon
to help, as it would run along the west side
of the town where most of the opposition to
a railroad comes from, and we should hear
nothing more said about it being wrong in
principle to aid, and the people on the east
side would rather have one there than not
have one anywhere. Now no one will dispute
but that travel, freight and business are as
sure to follow a railroad as a fish is to follow
a river, and the result will be that there will
be no teams or stages even, between Whit
ingham, Wilmington and Brattleboro. There
will not be any business from those towns
except probate business, and when a man in
Brattleboro sees a man from Nottingham OF
Wilmington, the first thing will be to ask who
is dead. Nottingham, Wilmington, Sears
burg, Somerset and all that vast tract of tim
Der land will become a colony of Massachu-
chusetts, and Massachusetts will get the live
men and business and Brattleboro the deaC
men. Nov the only way to avert this stat'
of things is to build railroad from Brattle
boro to Wilmington via jacksonville and il
all depends upon Brattleboro. With her helI
the road can be built without, not As it is
Vermont will lose Readsboro. And now the
question comes, Shall she loose the rest o.
the towns up Deerheld river? Can it be thai
