A Body Washed Ashore.

A body of an unknown man washed ashore at Guilford Thursday. Medical Examiner Reynolds viewed the body. It had been in the water about two weeks. The doctor found nothing to indicate that the man had been murdered. He had 78 cents in his pocket and postoffice order for $20. It is supposed that the dead man fell off one of the boats sailing through the sound. He was buried by the selectmen.

Court Shields Entertainment.

The second annual entertainment of court Shields, A. o. F., at city hall last night, was a very pleasant affair, and hear tily enjoyed despite the extreme heat. The singing by the new Sacred Heart church quartette of ''Come Where the Lilies Bloom," and "A Very Bad Cold," as we'll as the other vocal selections, were happy feature, and received deserved applause. P. F. Cummings, Michael Mcdonald, and Messrs. Cluney and Cummings, in their respective specialties acquitted themselves creditably. After the concert programme, dancing was commenced, but participated in by but a few, and was concluded at 1 o'clock. The committees: Arrangements M. F. McKinnerney, James H. Freney, M. F. Carmody, John F. Bossidy, and F. M Harty. Floor-J. J. Mcdonald, conductor; T. F. Carney, D. P. Sullivan, P. J. Kelley, I. F; MoKinnerney, Charles McEvoy, Joseph Cosgrove, J. Riley, John Fitz- gerald and Henry Dugan.
 One of the best and most heartily ap- plauded part of the programme was the rendering of the selection, ''Asleep at the Switch" by J. T. Freney of Hartford MI Freney has well modulated voice, good appearance and considerable of dramatic | ability, and he well merited the generous applause he received

thrush, CabaRPs thrush and the Kuriehane
thrush range throughout the Transvaai,
CaHrarla and Damara Land, the Bechuana
country and the Cape
Inc facts, as they are presented to-day by
this interesting group Of birds, become very
significant when viewed In the light OF eyo-
luton. The worldwide distribution. large
number Of established species, and high de-
gree Of development which the thrushes have
attained, denote their comparative antiquity
as group of birds. Time has been the I'M
portant factor in establishing the species,
and enabling them to live far and wide in
harmony with diverse conditions Of life. Ii
would be difficult to ascertain the original
center Of their development-probably one Of
the great land-masses, as the Euro-Aslatic
continent, whence the early forms have
spread TO other portions Of the earth, there
to break up into new varieties and species
under the action Of changing environments.
Where other forms have succumbed In the
struggle for life these have lived on, until
now, the almost perfect wing and foot, the
vital strength that holds the plumage for a
year before it is shed, and also enables the
mating pair TO rear three goOdly broods each
spring; the vocal development, the omnivor
ovs diet, the abundance Of worldwide dis
tributiOn of species, tell the story Of how the
robin and his cOngeners have come to be
what they area dominant group in the ami
NAL life Of the earth.

spent many a sociable and sensible evening.
They give big dinners to lot of brainless
snobS, Syc0phants and parasites who Will
eat their food, and laugh at them behind their
backs. Their honest friendships OF poorer
DAYS have been broken, for their acqualnt-
ances not being able to give big dinners, do
not accept invitations to them provided they
are sent, and so the spirit of true, wholesome
enjoyment is soon lost.
Some men, fond of reading and Of sehol-
arly turn of mind, make great mistake in
leading the exclusive lives they do. Every
man is better for associating with people,
and the wise man, while never ceaslng to
love his books and studies, will find himself
wiser and his mind healthier II he goes forth
into the big world, and, so TO speak, gets
next to the great popular heart. When a
man associates with his fellows, the rough
edges of his nature are worn off, and good
deal Of nonsense is knocked out Of him.
On the ground of sociability alone, most
men should marry, though it is hard to lay
down any general rules on that subject. /
should say emphatically, however, that
man should marry woman who would be
to him real helpmeet, a companion in fact
as in name. The tendencies of our social
life are all against the education of young
women to be the wives they ought to be, and
there are few young men who have the
proper conception of the responsibilities and
duties of a husband.
If a man lives wisely and according to the

philosophers Of today are arguing whether

age The happiness | have enjoyed and
which others pursuing the same line Of con-
duct can enjoy, has been well described by
an old philosopher: Happiness is not found
in tumult, but in tranquility, and that not
the tranquility of Incidence and inaction but
of healthy contentment of soul and body.
A happy life is like neither to a roaring tor
rent nor to a stagnant pool, but to a placid
and crystal stream, that flows gently and ST.

Thoughts.

Who sees most will cenSure least.
Men ase seldom as ridiculous as
when ridiculing others.
If 80 will not believe, surely We
shall not be established.
Abhor his vice, but not the man :;
for he is like thee, son of God.
Nowhere do we need federation so
much as when with the intolerant.
By hating a man, l acknowledge
him my superior; by loving him, my
equal.
OF my neighbor, tell me only what
is good: what is bad, | shall find
out myself.
The hope of the righteous shall be
gladness: but the expectation of the
wicked shall perish.
In discussing their religion with
others, We are in greatest danger of
forgetting our own.
No serpent distills such fatal poi
son as that which drips from the
tongue of the slanderer.
Better is an handful with quiet
ness, than both the hands full with
travail aud vexation of spirit.
Learn, o man! from the tree,
which giveth shade unto others
while scorched itself by the sun.
In the fear of the Lord is strong
confidence: and his children shall
have place of refuge.-Solomoa.
