TO MY MOTHER.
On Receiving Some Flowers from
Home.

On Receiving Some Flowers fror
Home.
They're crushed, and withered, and faded,
Yet l love them, for they come
Oer mountain, river and prairie
From my loved-my childhood's home.
They grew from the seed planted;
And were almost ready to bloom
When left; and the hearts that loved me
Were filled with sorrow and gloom.
When had gone they remembered
That my hand had placed them there,
And, loving me so, they watered
And watched them with tend rest care
And now, as l hold these blossoms
And think of the kind, true hand
That plucked and sent them to me
From my own dear Maryland
l wish, if but for q moment
| could stand at the kitchen-door
And chat with mother of flowers,
As we used III days of yore.
l can close my eyes and see them
Queenly asters and fuschia blooms,
Red geraniums, white tube-roses
That with fragrance filled the rooms.
But I'd like to touch-caress them -
Mark their beauty when the dew,
Sparkling, glistning in the sunlight,
Brightly dazzling to the view,-
Trembles on each velvet petal
For moment then in fear
OF the day-god's jealous anger
Softly, swiftly disappear.
But three thousand miles of woodland,
Mountain, valley, hill and dale,
Lie twixt me and where those nowrs
Bow their heads to Autumn's gale.
Then I'll cherish these dead blossoms,
Crushed and withered though they be,
AS symbol-a lovetoken
Dearest one, Of home and thee.

A MIsclaievous Gray SquirreI-The
 GongregatfonaI Church Calls MT.
 Murphy of Maine-Personal.
 Dr. Webster, of Middlebury, and his brother-in-law, Dr. Conkling of New York, went out one day last week and shot about a dozen gray squirrels. A Middlebury friend says: ssThe doctor has been after one hand some gray squirrel for about year, and al- most every time he goes hunting he gets a glimpse of this fellow, who seems as intelli- gent as he is audacious. No sooner does he sight the doctor than he stays long enough to give him a fair chance to recognize him, and then is off like shot and seems to take off all the other squirrels with him by giving them timely warning. Last week, however, this squirrel was off mapping, and so the two doctors bagged about dozen."
 The Middlebury Congregational society at meeting held Friday afternoon voted to call to the pastorate Rev. MT. Murphy, g talented young pastor, now located in Maine, and who preached very aoceptably as a can didate before the Midd1ebury church few weeks ago. MT. Murphy, it is expected, will accept and is expected to take hold with his new charge in few weeks. The retiring pastor, Rev. Mr. Marshall, who left about June to accept charge in Cromwell, filled the pastorate of the Middlebury church with great acceptance, and leaves, as also does his family, many friends in Middlebury. He was pastor in Middlebury eight years. MT. c. c. Post of Middlebury, formerly g we'll known and prominent citizen in Fail Haven, finds that Middlebury air agrees with his health wonderfully, and says his health has not been as good in five years. Quassapaug Lake is growing every year g more and more popular summer resort. Mid dlebury people are naturally proud of theil beautiful lake, it's surroundings and the good fishing thereon. Messrs. Wallace and Rich ardson's summer resorts have been doing 8 prosperous business this season, and it was not unusual on the best days to see as many as hundred carriages about MT. Wallaee's, the teams representing half dozen different towns.
