Martha, hurting out her words. az don't

Fruit has been kept in perfect condition
by simply covering the jars with cotton bat
ting. Putrefaction is caused by the invisi-
BILE creatures in the air. Cooking the fruit
expels these, and. as they cannot pass
through cotton batting, the fruit thus pro-
tected will keep an indefinite period. Tyn-
dali has proved that atmospheric germs
cannot pass through layer Of cotton.

The Albany Times says: The remarkable
tendency in this State to nominate baohelora
TO the highest Office is due, no doubt, to the
sad conviction which has come over the peo-
pie that married men cannot govern. The
family is the school Of the State.

POETRY.
Summers Decay.

SEmmer's Decay.
When my FIRST roses shed
Their petals, and lay dead,
knew my foe Decay
Hadstruck atmy sweet day
OF summer breath and bloom.
I'heaFd my knell OF doom
In the soft signing breeze
That scattered their dead leaves.
And then and there seemed
To see as one who dreamed
A long procession pass
Across the springing grass
Sweet ghosts OF the dead flowers
That bloomed in last years hours
And stately at the head,
All clad In white and red,
Shedding their dewy scent,
My fair June darliugs went;
And following after slept
My lilies, who had kept
Their garment white as snow,
While their warm hearts did glow
With all the golden fire
That summer suns inspire.
All blooms and blossoms fair
Followed and followed there,
Until l did behold,
White as the stars, and cold,
My pale chrysanthemums pass:
And then knew, alas
The end had come: and knew,
xNhila GtfiI tho xua ,rtsa txytp1 c hlaxsr
My darlings OF to-day
Like this were on their way
TO join the ghostly throng:
Like this would move along,
Pale visions, dead and dear,
To haunt another year.
Shuddfring, moaned and wex
And In that moment crept
Shadows of storm and night
Across my summer light.
"What Is my summer pride?r
Moaning, wept and cried,
"Why do hold my way,
II only TO decay?"
Then suddenly heard
Amid my boughs . bird
Lifting heavenly voice.
Rejoice, and yet rejoice"
He sang: and sang again:
"out OF this earth-bound pain,
Out OF this dread decay,
lift my heavenly lay"
Higher and higher still,
Sweet with a sw0eter thrill,
Lifted that heavenly song.
Borne on It's wings along.
/ saw the bloom and birth
or the new heaven and earth,
And all my flowery host,
Each sweet departing ghost,
Seemed in nv ears to sing,
"No fair and beauteous thing,
Nothing OF precious cost,
Nothing We love, is lost

The oLo-EAsHloNEo HOME.

or all the tender and comfortable things
That now and then sweet memory brings.
There's nothing dearer that love recalls
Than the old fashioned house with its white
washed walls
Not mansion to-day, though marvel Of
art,
Can ever usurp It's place in my heart
For there my earliest prayers were said,
And slept at night in trundle bed.
Meath coverlids reaching from feet to chin,
BY q mothers hand tucked gently in,
And goodnight kiss on my tired brow
Oh, earth holds no such blessing now.
A garden was fragrant in flower beds
Where marigolds lifted their velvet heads,
And warmed by sunshine refreshed by dew,
The bachelor-button and touch-me-not grew
In river that curved like a shepherds
crook,
We fished for minnows with bent pin hook,
Or with little bare feet oft waded through,
And bravely padded our own canoe"
Twas a home of welcome no one could
doubt,
Whose latch-string hung invitingly out
And many stranger supped at its board
While blazing logs in the chimney roared.
Oh, this Is an age Of reform and changed
And things aesthetic, modern and strange.
improvements that SAVIOR Of silver and gold
Are superseding the cherished and old.
But turn from palaces built for show
With mansard roof and stories below
or rescoed kalsomined, dadoed halls,
To the old fashioned house with Its white
washed walls

Buying a Whole Town.

NEW YORK, Nov. 16-The Metropolitan
National Bank has just become the owner by
sheriff's sale, of the Wortendyke IN. J.) Manu-
featuring Company's property, including mills
tenements, vacant lots etc. More than one
hundred neat and pretty cottages occupied by
operatives in the great silk mills of this company
formed q community that was the envy of it's
neighbors. Up to August, 1883, there was not
the slightest sign of decadence anywhere. The
hands had good wages, and they had their own
summer and winter pavilion, and brass band
The fall of this great Wortendyke industry
makes a sad picture. The mill buildings are of
brick. covering thousands of square feet of sur
face, and having every convenience, including a
postoffice Each morning, before the failure a
procession of country wagons brought to the
mill hundreds of farmers daughters within a
radius of ten miles. Al the close of the DAYS
toll the wagons would reappear to convey them
home. More than two thousand persons de-
pended for their daily bread upon their work in
the mills. In August, 1883, the property passed
into the hands of a receiver An inventory
showed the total liabilities to be $500, 900, with
1918, 900 assets. Destitution rapidly overlook
the villagers and hundreds of the operatives left
the place. Many of the cottages are going to
ruin, and Wortendyke is rapidly assuming the
appearance of a deserted village The Metro
politan bank paid $780, 900 for the property, which
includes $40, 900 of first-mortgage claims.

A RINGING LETTER.
John G. Whittier Thinks the Republican
Party Still Has It's Mission and Future.

Boston, Nov. 16-At the Essex Club dinner
Saturday night, John G.. Whittier sent letter,
the main part of which was as follows:
President Cleveland has proved himself better
than his party, and has done and said some good
things which l give him full credit for, but the
instincts of his party are against him, and must
eventually prove too strong for him, and instead
of his carrying his party it will bel likely to carry
him. 1t has already compelled him to put his
hands in his pockets for electioneering purposes
and travel all the way from Washington to Buff
falo to give his vote for spokesman and anti
civil-service machine politician. l would not
like to call it a of offensive partisanship,"
from the outset, | am proud of the noble record
of the party, but I should rejoice to see its
benifcent work taken up by the Democratic
party and so faithfully carried on as to make our
organization no longer necessary. But. as far
as we can see the Republican party has still its
mission and its future. When labor shall every
where have its just reward and the gains of
it are made secure to the earners; when educa-
ton shall be universal, and, North and South, all
men shall have the free and full enjoyment of
civil rights and privileges, irrespective of color
or former condition; when every vice which de-
bases the community shall be discouraged and
prohibited, and every virtue which elevates it
fostered and strengthened when merit and fit
ness shall be the conditions of Office, and when
sectional dstrust and prejudice shall give place
to well -merited confidence in the loyalty and
patriotism of all, then will the work of the Re
publican party, as party, be ended and all
political rivalries be merged into great party
of the people, with no other aim than the COM
mon welfare, and no other WatchWords than
Peace, Liberty and Union"
