In the early ages of christian ity gloves were part of monastic costume, and, m later periods, formed part of the episcopal habit The glove was employed by princes as a token of investitufe and to deprive a person of his gloves was a mark of divesting him of his office.

 To be lover of flowers, it is not indis- pensable that one should be horicultur- ist, or botanist, but it is necessary to have soul for the beautiful.

 The old English name, parson, is SUD- posed to be a corruption of person, the person, by eminence.

 The meaning they conveyed; Un adversity be thou cheerful"
 Though in sorrow be not dislnayed." I'll try, with all he has given
 To aid me in living aright, To be cheerful, and strive to be worthy
 Such love as he gave me last night. The blessings of God be upon him,
 For, answering to my call, He has helped me over the chasm,-
 I'll struggle on-not fall. Not fall by the wayside and perish,
 For now feel strength divine, With the love he has promised to give me fear neither sorrow nor time. What before was blight and drear darkness Has changed to the suns warmer light; His promise has driven all blackness

In its report of the annual meeting of the local agricultural society the Rockville Leader says An amusing incident came out at this meeting, which is Co good to go without mention. An enthusiast for first premiums, also an extensive sheep raiser, upon looking his flock over, feared that he had no buck that would secure for him first premium, so he searched far and near until he purchased one. During the sum- mer he had sold some nice fat lambs Co the butcher. A neighbor, also sheep breed CT, noticing moe buck iu the butchers rack, traded for it. At the fair these same bucks faced each other aud the judges for first prize, and it was awarded the buck from the butchers rack. No doubt the first party will be surprised to learn that it was lamb he sold that took the prize away from his imported fine wool.

Among thepleasant and satisfactory re- suits in the late election, was the success of ex-Lieutenant Governor Ephraim Fl. Hyde iu the Twenty-fourth Senatorial district. Governor Hyde has been prominent cit izcn for many years In that section of the state, and he has been foremost in agricul- tural improvements and the raising of the best imported stock in Holland county. Hls fellow citizens of all parties have cou- ddence in him. He has always served them well in the positions to which they have called him. The Twenty fourth dis trict is considered as republican generally, but Governor Hyde ran ahead of his tick ct, and was chosen by abont 125 plurality. A good number of Governor Hydeis friends called upon him at his residence Saturday evening, to congratulate him on his suc- cess. MT. William H. Black made a very happy congratulatory address, to which Governor Hyde responded. It was sur prise party, no notice having been given to Governor Hyde that his friends were to call upon him on the occasion. It was however a pleasant gathering, and there was a cordial greeting. .-Hdrgord TSDles.

A serious and probably fatal shooting accident occurred. on Monday at Broad Brook. John Beach of Hartford, a freeco painter'fand upholsterer, is brother-in- law of Joseph Mann of Broad Brook. On Monday Beach went with his men to Broad Brook to do some work. At noon Mann, Beach and.others aftereatiug dinner went out to the barn and practiced shoot ing at mark. Beach shot very badly, and his father, who was of the party, stood back of him and said, "You shoot too high. Beach turned around to make some reply, and as he did so the pistol was dis charged, the ball striking Mann, who stood near, in the left breast nearly over the heart. He fell apparently dead, but re- covered somewhat, and was at once taken into the house. When physician reach ed the place he found Mann apparently dying. He was cold and had no pulpe. There had been no external hemorrhage, but it was evident there had been con- siderable loss of blood in the pleural cavi- ty. Tuesday afternoon, however, it was learned that the internal bleeding had stopped of itself, and Mann was much bet. ter. He had regained consciousness, and
 was apparently in fair way to recovery should not the wound reopen. The case Is an unusual one, and Mann's recovery from the shock and loss of blood beyond all ordinary rule Beach, who was the in- uocent cause of the accident, was greatly distressed at what happened aud corre- ~pondingly pleased at the good prospect of the recovery of his brother r-in- Jaw. .H .#

Goodness of an ArtiIIeryman.

All at once the earth trembled with u
deafening shock louder than the report of
gun or shell; u thick hot white ring shot
straight up into the air, as if the mouth of
the bottomless pit had opened before us;
shapeless fragments of wood and iron were
buried high above the trees and fell on all
sides in an irregular shower The lumber
of the nearest CaiSson was a wreck: its am
munition chest had disappeared and one
wheel lay upon the blackened ground, in the
midst of shells momentarily exploding rs the
fuses burned down to their charges. The
two near chests had escaped destruction
but threatened 10 follow the fate of the
other, for some cotton shelter-tents were
ablaze within an inch of their dangerous con-
tents. Already the dry, seasoned wood was
swapping and cracking as the hot flame
licked around it; any one of the bursting
shells might open passage for the fire TO the
interior, and we gazed helpless and in instant
expectation Of the catastrophe which seemed
inevitable.
Then buzz Of muttered, half suppressed OK
CARNATIONS ran up and down the line. y man
was there close to the burning caisson !:
whence he came no one knew; the smoke had
concealed lis approach; but he was jacket
less and bare-armed-an artilleryman owl
dently-besides he carried q sponge-bucket in
his hand. With his back toward us, he was
fighting the fire at close quarters; we saw him
tear away TIE blazing tents and throw them
behind them; then with his followed hand he
bailed the water from his buc,,ee-coolly and
carefully, not wasting a cur d, along the
ignited portion of the chest, ,nS at his
Perilous post until the last spa. went out in
Kissing steam.
And then our pent-up excitement
found vent. Such n cheer burst from our
ranks as must have been heard in the Federal
line from Cemetery Hill to Round Top, for
never in mid-charge did the brigade give
tongue with better viii or more sonorously.
