 You have placed her away in the silent grave That daughter that sister so dear And you have done with the long winters watching Have done, too, with hope and with fear. And you stand all bewildered with sorrow At what the destroyer has done, And call her dear name in your anguish; Half thinking an answer will come. You go to the couch where she suffered so long, But hear not her sad cry of pain; You put by the emblems of sickness and death She never will need them again. With hearts filled with anguish you tenderly fold Garments you have oft seen her wear; And treasures her fingers have fashioned with skill, You handle with tenderest care. And you question, and ponder, and wonder why The reaper this young life should claim, While many sheaves ripe for the harvest of death Just waiting their summons, remain. You think of the purposes broken for earth, Of bright hopes that budded to die; And greving you turn from the dark of earth Seeking comfort and help on high. And mantle of faith rests down on your hearts You look through the shades of the tomb; For beautiful rays from the regions of light, Illumine it's cold silent gloom. And you turn from the form wastsd with pain, To the soul, unfettered and free And amid the bright throngs of the heavenly land, That daughter, that sister you see. She has passed from world of sorrow and toll, To a refuge of peace and rest; And her hand, now with others beckops you on To that distant world of the blest; the and love that n brings life from dsah The while you are waiting that union above, All endless in safety and joy. And when the engmss of life are all past, And on heavens fair hills yOn rest, And see with vision far clearer than now, You will find the Father knew best; And the voice that calmed stormy Galilce's wave Will speak to your hearts day by day, And teach you to say: ''It is well; it is wep'- God gave, and has taken away.

For many years Pawtucket, R. l., has had the distinction of being the largest town in America. It had population of 19,O3O in 1880, and has long been bigger than scores of ''cities'' in the south and west, or even New England, for that ma ter. The people have persistently refused to accept a city charter, heretofore, but a bill establishing ''the city of .Pawtucket' has just passed the state house of repre- sentatives, and there Is said to be general impression that the citizens will adopt the scheme, this time.

HABITS AND CUSTOMS OF THE WooDcHUcK. Western Connecticut editors are wrought up over story that Litchfeld county Woodchuck Was caught in q trap this month. Their patrons are taking up the pen and an appalling deluge of woodchuck knowledge IS outpouring on the great question wheth- CT the woodchuck does or doesn't know enough to stay in his hole until April at least. A Harwinton expert on woodchucks swears by the great eternal horn spoon that "when he Was boy,' he trapped 'chucks every month in the year. A Cheshire man says his dog treed one last week, on a branch 20 feet above. the ground, and an aged farmer with truth on his lips aud mud on his boots tells the gentle editor of the Derby Transcript that March is the wood chncks mating Sc 'son, and after light snow they can be tracked for long distances on their evening tramps in search of 8 hoHsekeeper for the coming summer.

Hartford Times There are twenty two canopies and pedestals for marble statues on the outside of the state capitol build ing Two of them have been filled by the statues, in marble, seven feet high, of Roger Sherman and Governor Trumbull. Another is to be filled by the statue of the patriot and martyr, Nathan Hale He is more deserving of monument than any other man Connecticut has ever produced He should have had a special and separate recognition long ago. A petition was sub mitted to the present legislature, request ing that other statues be ordered--statnes of Thomas Hooker, Oliver Ellsworth, Jo- seph B. Sheffield, and General Spencer. The senate has ordered that this petition be continued to the next general assem- bly,; and a commission was named by the senate to report to the next general assem- ply the names of proper persons to he rep resented in the statues to be ordered next year. The commission consists of: Sen ator Platt, Jndge N. Shipman, Librarian Hoadly, Charles B. Mitchell of New Bri- tain, A. B. Burr, Stephen A. Hubbard, C. M. Joslyn, and Roland Swift Wben all the inches are filled, the medalions carved, and the tympani adorned with historical "reminiscences of the state, the capitol will present varied and beautiful attractions.
 There is curious scientific question in volved concerning the Easter lily. Its or igin has been traced to the island of Ber- muda, where it was supposed it ''sported from the old trumpet lily, Liliena Longi- .JaO'runa, which it very much resembles. ex- cept that it is nearly double in size and almost ever-blooming. The smallest bit of root-even the '.scale'' of the bulb develops fiower.- This fioriferous qual quality is entirely unknown in it's proto- type, and it is supposed that long contin- . nance of culture in the genial climate of Bermuda has brought about these results. Although Bermuda is under the British government, the value of this wonderful production was first discovered in Bermu- da by an American florist, who has so mo- nopolized the crop that Britain will have to obtain her supplies through New York florist It IS claimed that nearly half million bulbs of this lily are grown in Der muda this season.

It also tells how to overcome and prevent morning sickness, swell ed limbs, ner- yousness, pain in back, and all the unpleasant sensations attending pregnancy.
