SIGPER sERAPHfyA.

She brings her soul up IN the straitest schools,
Lacing expansions in With narrow rules
She purges out her dross and yields her goods
To swell the funds Of needy sisterhoods.
She deems thin blood white milk OF innocence,
And fasting, dndeth hope OF reeOmpense
She tethers thought from flight in open air
To turn the treadmil Of repeated prayer.
She Stays each soft emotion Love hath given
To make burnt offerings to the g Hoa OF heaven
And, seeing beggars serve His golden door,
Bows down and serves the Mamnlon Of the poor.
Behold her soul il small and pinched, and thin,
Surely Ii shall find erannies and crawl In,
And cOntTite plead in heavens warmer glow,
g Lord, this my leprosy was white-ike snow!

40. PRETTY CHILD

Go. pretty child, and bear this flower
Unto thy little saviour
And tell Him. by that bud now blown,
He Is the Rose OF sharon known.
When thou hast said so, stick II there
Upon His bib OF stOmaeher;
And tell Him, for good handsel. too.
That thou hast brought a whistle new,
Made OF a clean. straight oaten reed,
To charm His cries at time OF need.
Tell Him, for coral thou hast none,
But II thou hadst, BE should have one;
But poor thou art and known to be
Even as moneyless as He.
Lastly II thou canst win kiss
From those mellifuOus lips OF His,
Then never take a second on
To spoil the first impression.

COLLEGE NOTES.

The students of the college are making
arrangements for a minstrel show about
the first of next month. As there is Il
great deal of talent in the college the
show will undoubtedly be very good.
The proceeds will be devoted to the sup
port of the base ball team.
The first game of base ball in which
the Middlebury college team will take
part this season will be the game with the
|. V. VI. team on Saturday. May ID. This
is the second schedule game of the Yer
mont College Base Ball association and a
large number of spectators is expected.
As the expenses of the team will be quite
heavy. a small admission fee will be
charged. Although the grounds are not
thoroughly enclosed, it is hoped that all
who wish to witness the game will be
honorable enough to pay. Admission
can be gained at any of the gates to the
college grounds. An interesting game i,
expected, as both clubs have been prac-
ticing daily. This will be the first league
game of the season, as the game between
Norwich university and |. V. NJ. which
was to have been played last Saturday
had to be postponed on account of rain

of half century ago. We are indebted

about local affairs above given.

presented by them in the town hall here

will play in Brandon, under the auspices

So far as J. X. Batchelder is concern
ed he has very slight following in this
portion of the State.-.T. JohnSJury Sal

Governor Proctor is strong supporter
of Senator Edmunds. And he is not 60
ing to shake any trees for somebody else
to gather the fruit.-Rutland Her0d.
Parmley Billings, son of Frederick
Billings of Woodstock, and graduate of
Amherst college in 1854, has started a
banking-hOuse at Billings, Mont, in con-
junction with his father and +. G. Bailey.
Rev. Joseph d. Wickham, ID. D.. of
Manchester, in the 90th year of his age,
is visiting Washington. DR.. Wickham
has been a trustee of Middlebury college
since 1910 and is one of the most valua-
BILE members of the board. He is the
Oldest living graduate of Yale.
The senatorial contest cannot be kept
out of the canvass for the governorship
and the Ormsbee side makes Il shrewd
stroke in pronouncing for Edmunds. 1t
is an impressive exhibition of the states
manship which Simon Cameron once de-
scribed as "seeing which way the process
sion is going to move and getting in front
of it," 1t is doubtful if ''Batch's" I'M
derpining is not entirely taken away from
him at one fell blow, for the Central rail
road support which has driven Ormsbee
to take the popular side against him is
something that Batchelder can never de-
pend on TO stand by him, when it is un-
derstood that he is playing IA losing
game -BrattleJoro Retormer.
Geo. A. Barrett, a shoe manufacturer of
ClaremOnt, y. H., but well known
throughout this State, disappeared sever
al weeks ago, after having collected a
large amount of money from his custom
ers. Foul play was feared, but Monday
his friends received letter from the mis-
sing man written in London, Eng. In il
he states that he has no recollection of
leaving New York, but he awoke on a
steamer l20 miles out bound for Liver
pool. There was nobody on board with
whom he was acquainted, and how he
got there he is wholly unable to state.
His money and baggage were all safe.
The letter, which is brief, closes by say
ing that he shall return home by the next
steamer.

The labor troubles are apparently ap-
preaching an end. At Chicago all Is
quiet. The anarchist leaders. whose raw
ings led to the outbreak of last week.
have been arrested. Quiet has been re-
stored at Milwaukee, where the troops,
ordered out to quell the disturbance, fir
ed on the mob and killed some of the
rioters. In dealing with mobs there is
evidently nothing so effective us cold
lead. The loafers and agitators who
make Chicago and Milwaukee their head
centers in the West know now that there
is limit to the endurance even of the
American people, who have hitherto been
altogether too lenient with these insane
ranters that endeavor to justify robbery
and plunder in the interest of the poor
against the rich. Their teachings will
of course do little harm to the great ma
iority of Americans: but in country
whose population is composed of such
diverse elements. gathered from all parts
of the world, not few of them ignorant
and ready to accept any doctrine, these
preachers of destruction ought not to be
tolerated for a moment. Free speech is
good thing, but when it goes to the
length Of advocating murder, robbery
and burning an end should be put to it.
