A GEM OF THE HEART.

Joy met Sorrow in place
Where the branches interlace,
Very secret. still and sweet,
Safe from all profaning feet.
"Why ait here % JOY, startled, cried;
"Why art here ?" Gray Sorrow sighed.
81 am here TO weep" said JOY.
Tears are ever my employ"
Murmured Sorrow: "Yet ! see
Tears as grateful were TO thee;
Come, young novice, and be taught
How to ease thy heart DER fraught."
Joy sat down at Sorrows feet,
And was taught a lesson sweet,
Fain would he make kind return:
sorrow, art too old to learn?
Nay Then tarry yet awhile,
TIL I've taught thee how TO smile
Since that hour the two have been
Bound as by mysterious kin;
Since that hour they so exchange
Tears and smiles. It's nothing strange
II some time puzzled heart
Scarce can tell the twain apart.

An old fox and her two cubs were
pursued by dogs, when one OF the
cubs got thorn In his foot and could
go no farther. Setting the other To
watch for the pursuers, the mother
proceeded, with much tender solici-
tude, to extract the thorn. Just M
she had done so the sentinel gave the
alarm.
How near are theyf' asked the
mother.
Close by, In the next field" was
the answer.
THE deuce they are r. was the re-
joinder. However. | presume they
will be content with a single fox"
And showing the thorn earnestly
back into the wounded foot, this er-
cellent parent took to her heels.
This fable proves that humanity
does not happen TO enjoy a monopoly
Of paternal affection.

A sheep, making the long journey,
found the heat of his fleece very un-
comfortable, and, seeing n flock OF
other sheep in fold, evidently wat
ing for some one, leaped over and
joined them, In the hope OF being
shorn. Perceiving the shepherd ap-
preaching and the other sheep hud
ding into remote corner Of the fold
he shouldered his way forward and
going up to the shepherd said:
Did you ever see such a lot OF
foolsf It's lucky came along to set
them an example OF docility. Seeing
me operated upon, they'll be glad 10

There Is No Doubt

That certain stores in each line of busi- ness of this city sell goods at lower prices than others. The perplexing question to many who are not already we'll posted is to know where to go and find goods marked at uniformly low prices. Some dealers in order to gain patronage offer baits, that is, they mark a line of goods at really low prices while the balance of their stock remains marked at high prices. Of course the general public soon find out these tricks and consequently these stores are not the headquarters for the multitude. The large crowds they advertise in the papers never ''materialize." Everybody says that our prices are the lowest. You want to. o.save money and we save it for you. Satisfaction guaranteed or money refunded.

that. Governor Bulkeley will find, if he spends half hour in examining Mir Futile and his works, that there is good deal more that he doesn't know. In- deed, he will find that what this watery young man doesn't know about law and mems rights would make very re- spectable library for a lawyer. We that he look closely into some other of the Futile bills and he will probably find determinations no less unjust and hate full than in the one which proposed to override the constitution on the office. holders question.
 The governor has done well in hauling this irresponsible crank up short. If this
 bill prohibiting liquor dealers from hold ing the office of registrar of voters be- came a law there would be equal justice
 in closing all avenues of official distinc-
 tion to men engaged in the liquor busi-
 ness. If they have no right to hold one
 office simply because they are pursuing
 an occupation which is recognized and legalized by our law" as Governor Bulkeley puts it in his veto, it follows
 that they might easily be deprived fol
 the same reason of the right to hold any
 and every other political office. This
 may be Mir Dwight Watery Tuttle's idea
 of American freedom and equality, but
 to the honor and glory of American manhood and Amerlcan institutions Connecticut has a governor who does'n mt
 share this degrading view. As Cover, nor Bulkeley proclains, ,and as the consti- tuition of Connecticut expressly declares liquor dealers are citizens and are enti- tied to all the rights of citizenship at least so far as otficeholding is concerned And don't you forget it, MT Dwight Watery Futile.

IT would be an interesting and edify ing sight to see the Connecticut legisla- ture, with Dwight Pegasus Futile in the lead, taking morning run about the Mulberry street block. The only thing that could at all approach it in intensity of interest would be the sight of the members industriously chasing them selves by the shortest cut to their homes there to stay forever and forever. And the sooner they start the chase the more pleasing for all concerned.

GOOD FOR THE SENATE.

AS urged by the DEMOCRAT the senate yesterday defeated, by a. vote of nine to five, the bill conferring on women the right to vote in school district elections which had previously passed the house. The senate has shown no greater wis dom and foresight in anything it has done than in the rejection of this absurd and uncalled for legislation.
 AS we remarked when the bill passed the house. it was designed more as an entering wedge for further obnoxious legislation in the line of conferring par tial suffrage upon women. And as if to confirm our statement, the house almost immediately after passed the bill giving women the privilege of voting on the license question. Even the brain cd house, however, discovered that it had made a mistake in passing this latter bill and promptly reversed its action. It might have done the same with the bill giving women the right of suffrage in school elections There was no call for such legislation unless it might be from those fanatics and zealots who are ever seeking to stir up sectarian differences and who would shoot over the heads of the women at the religious spectre that is ever danglir 2 before their practiced vision, backed up it may be by those temperance cranks who saw in the gr.nt of this school suf- frage a wedge 10 hew the way for allow ing womeE to vote on the license ques- tiop. Neither privilege, as the DEM oCRAT has shown in previous articles, would be aught but prejudicial to the wo- men themselves as we'll as the interests of the public. Such has been the ex- perience of those communities where the experiment of partial woman suffrage has been tried, and such 1t must ever be while women and their sphere of duty remain what they are. That will be until there is an entire revolution in the social order as 1t now exists.
 The senate showed wisdom and fore sight in rejecting the bill giving women the suffrage in school matters. We can only hope that their action will have the effect of putting quietus for time at least on the unsexed Anthonys and Walkers that roam like spirits of evil through the land diverting the thoughts of their gentler sisters from the sphere and surroundings that nature intended to environ them.

The Retirement Of Justice Miller.

Justice Miller, who intends to retire from the supreme bench in the fall, is 73 years old and has been 0 member of tho court since 1862. Justice Miller is man of huge and portly frame, and has a round, jolly face, innocent of beard He began life as q doctor, but was attracted to the law, and his shrewd, hard sense quickly won for him a leading place at tho bar of the state of Iowa. He was just the kind of man that Lincoln ad- mired. Lincoln had many legal tilt with him in the days before the war, and when in 1862 he had to appoint justice doctor lawyer Philadelphia Telegraph.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1889-06-07

A REPUBLICAN exchange declares it's expectation that ''the mugwump papers brilliant democratic municipal victory) to the Johnstown disaster" We can hasten to reassure it. Mugwump papers don't reason that way. They leave that kind of logic to republican papers that discover in democratic tariff reform the horrible spectre of free trade.
