Brevity and simplicity marked the ceremony
Of officially notifying to Mr.. Morton his nomna-
ton for the Vice Presidency. Mr.. Morton's
reply to Chairman Estees address, though
short, was comprehensive and suggestive. He
noted the honor done New DIRK in selecting
one Of its citizens TO fill the second place on
the ticket, and then in single sentence re-
ferred to the great mission now set before the
Republican party. Mr.. Morton also added a
word in praise Of the platform, so wisely
adopted at Chicago" On such an occasion
there is an inevitable temptation to speak at
length. Mr.. Morton resisted this temptation.
II would not be easy to say more in fewer
words than he used in accepting the high honor
conferred On him by his party.

Governor Hill has called an extra session of
the Legislature. His 0stensible reason for
doing so is the condition of the prisons Of the
State, but the fact that he is recognized as
an irrepressible exponent Of peanut politics
will lead sagacious people to suspect that tho
extra session is not unconnected with his wire
pulling for denomination. In 1885 because
the Legislature in it's wisdom passed Consfi-
tutional Census bill which failed to tally with
his partisan schemes the Governor resorted to
the extra session expcdient only to have his
labor for his pains. His attempt to coerce a
coordinate branch Of the Government was
dismal failure. What will come Of the present
session remains to be seen. The prison prob

Church was over, and, as usual, company of women were standing about the doorway talking and laughing, though probably not concerning the sermon. Soon young man acquainted with the group approached, say ing: "Aren't you ever going home? You are blocking up the way, like Baalam's ass.

 A Pleasure Shaeed by Women only.
 Malherbe, the gifted Fren h author, de- clared that of ali things that man possesses, women alone can take pleasure in being possessed This seems generally true of the sweeter sex Like the ivy plant, she longs for an object to cling to and love-to look to for protection. This being her pre- rogatiye, ought she not to be told that Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is the physical salvation of her sex? It banishes those dis tressing maladies that make her life a burden, curing all painful irregularities, uterine dis orders, inflammation and ulceration, ,prolapsus and kindred weaknesses. AS 8 nervine, it cures nervous exhaustion, prostration, debil- ity, relieves mental anxiety aed hypoehon- dria, and promotes refreshing sleep.

THE DOCTOR

This poem published in December, 1886, was written by Rev. e: V. Maxham on the SOth birthday of the late Dr. Wm. N. Clark of Stafford. Gi 7e me, my dear old friend, thy hand Broad hands are they that build land, Whose sturdy grip might we'll amaze The fragile youth of these strange days. Four-score, and still with harness on! Thy gracious work will not be done While yet thy step is firm and bold And mind and heart their vigor hold. Thou art as hale as the great oak On which the breezy morning broke, When Uncas broke the flying pace, And bayed the red stag in the chase ! When falls, as falls it must, the oak, Its soul shall rise spire of smoke From embers in whose lingering beam Young hearts wi mate and build in dreams, So when to thee will come the call That comes or soon or late to all, Will they who miss thy presence so Find in thine ashes coals that glow. Thy memory rich and ripe with age Recalls not Dore's pictured page, Nor Shakspeare's passion of the Moor, But tragic scenes in lives obscure. When like a flame the fever spread, And rugged wills were cowed with dread, Thy word was fate,-thy cheer of heaven Thy smile a benediction given. Where in the fever-laden air. The candles made O ghastly glare, And sooty cofins clogged each wick Thou vert the angel of the sick; And dying men with kindling faith Saw ore-gleams on the unknown path, As backward from life's fading sun, Earth's shadows, lengthening, merged in one How oft men speak of life in death As 'twere the bubble of a breath, Which, like prism takes hue, Then, bursting, disappears from view. But of the dead thy heart could say, They are not lost nor far away, Since tender thought can banIsh space, And love is not of time or place. Untempered youth with keen desire. That fans the spirits rampant fire, May spurn in the hot race to be, The honest mile-stones set by thee But they will stand in word and deed To guide the traveler in his need, And gather their increasing toll As the revolving seasons roll. How true the verse the poet sung Yet not of hearts forever young, How we'll the dreary words portray The nerveless mind in its decay. ''Ah, what but death itself can take From out the heart the bitter ache When sad old age turns back in tears, And seeks in vain life's vanished years. O sunny friend of four-score years, Upon thy sheaves the glistening tears Are dewy diamonds of the morn, Whose glory mocks the night to scorn.
 FEN VOYAGE.
 Thy bark as sound at core and staunch As when the waves danced at its launch, Still bears as in the stormy blast The masters pennon at the mast. But gently now in calms serene That mark the stormless lines between The lower and the upper world, It heavenward drifts with canvass furled. No weary strife with baffiing wind On voyage to the further Ind,
 Nor threatening berg from Polar seas But isles of rest with birds and bees He knows what port he first shall sight, What towering headland lift its light, What odors from the inner realm The unseen pilot at the helm.

 INTERESTED PEoPLE.-Advertising a patent medicine in the peculiar way in which the proprietor of Kemp's Balsam for coughs and colds does, is indeed wonderful. He author izes all druggists to give those who call for it a sample bottle free, that they may try it be- fore purchasing. 1.-The large bottles are soc and $1. We certainly would advise trial.

 -Mr. George Fl. Meloney's horse, wag- on and harness were stolen from his fath- er's barn on Friday night, May 25th. The team was lately found in Manchester. It appears that Alexander Reditt, a boy about II years old, who has been living with MT. Norcutt, stole the team. He drove to Andover, and thence to Manches- ter, where his father lives, got drunk and drove the team into post, badly smashing the wagon and iniuring the horse.
 MT. N. c. Bowens barn was struck by lightning during the storm Monday night, May 29th, and was totally destroyed by fire, together with several tons of hay, four valuable COWS and yearling heifer. His horse was saved. Insured for $400, $500 on the barn, and $1O0 on the hay.
