4 DousLn LIFE.


BosroN, Sept. 2l.-There died in q
broth 10 this city on Friday, the Itb
inst, Edward Sanborn, and old man who
had been known to the police for many
years as the proprietor of many houses Of
prostitution. There was a burial in
Kingston, N. H,three days later---Msjor
Sanborn,a conspicuous and public spirited
citizen, widely known in his native state
as liberal patron Of the cause of educa-
ton and '-nn. A strange story OF
the dual life Of this man, for contrast I'd
descriptions truthfully apply to the same
individual, is revealed by contest Just
begun over the settlement Of his large
estate. Litigation which is pending will
doubtless develop the greatest social
sensation New England has had for a
long time. About thirty years ago
Sanborn seems to have deliberately de.
termined to live double existence in his
own time. He led an upright life, sup
ported various public improvements, and
in turn was bouored by his fellow towns
men, who few years ago sent him to
represent them in tie legislature. Al
though retaining his citizenship in Kings
ton, Sanborn spent the greater portion Of
his time during three decades in Boston
His record in this city has been that Of a
libertine aud unscrupulous money getter.

beautiful Snow.u Whilst this
4 beautiful poem is read and admired
4 by many there may be some who dc
not know of its origin and have failed
to appreciate it as they would. We
give the original as we have it, be-
lieving it will be interesting to those
who are familiar with the poem. Dur
ing the early part of the war, one dark
Saturday night in mid winter, there
died in the Commercial Hospital,
in Cincinnati, young woman, over
whose head two and twenty summers
had passed. She had once been pos
sessed of an enviable share of beauty,
and had been, as she herself says,
fiattered and sought for the charms
OF, the face - but, alas, on her fair
brow was written that terrible word
prostitute. Once the pride of res
pectable parents, her first wrong step
was the small beginning of the same
old story over again." which has been
the only history of thousands. Highly
educated and accomplished in man
ners, she might have shone in the
best society. But the evil hour that
proved her ruin was the door from
childhood and having spent young
life in disgrace and shame, the poor
friendless one died the melancholy
death of broken-hearted outcast.
Among her personal effects, was
found in her own hand write, 'sThe
Beautiful Snow,o which was immedi-
ately carried to Enos B. Reed, gen.
tleman of culture and literary taste,
who was at that time editor of the
Nation Onion. In the columns of that
paper on the morning of the girls
death, the poem appeared in print for
the first time. When the paper con-
tanning the poem came out on Sunday
morning, the body of the victim had
not received burial. The attention of
Thomas Buchanan Read, one Of the
first American poets, was so taken
with its stirring pathos that he inn
mediately followed the corpse to its
final resting place. Such are the plain
facts concerning her whose Beauti-
full Snow shall long be remembered
as one of the brightest gems in Ameri-
can literature.

The extreme cold weather has in a
great measure improved the water
powers of Mill Creek, the water being
quite low at present. The ice crop
has been secured, and plenty on hand
for second crop. Since the cold
weather closed in so severely, the
turnpike crossing over Mill Creek at
this place is a great annoyance to
slelghs and sleds, freezing the bells
and stalling about every fifth team
that crosses, and the water only fif-
teen inches deep makes it very UNI
comfortable situation for drivers and
parties riding. The company should
at least furnish three OF four pair of
rubber boots for the accommodation
of such unfortunates.
