 "Dun make no dlf'rence; we uns hev | orders, an you ms kin go on.''
 The man turned to his companions, who had halted near, and said: They've got guard thar an won't let us in.''
 What f they hev!'' cried a great, blGs- tering, burly fellow. "Hain't they secesh. Now let's go in an burn the house down"
 If ye do yell make trouble fur yer selves," said Tom.
 'They're secesh, an I'm ergoin' U burn tn house. I'll see who's int, too. Come on, you ms, ye hajn't too big towards Luke cast a glance at the old house be- heath whose friendly roof he had passed his happiest days It was the home of his friends, the home of his betrothcd-and in the attic was the old wooden cradle winch had borne his infant form on the flood. This last relic of his mysterious babyhood would, of course, perish with the house He de- termined to defend it with his life. Leaping on the fiat-topped gate the re- cruit cooked his musket. The fire in those eyes warned the men of the danger
 ''Haltr' he cried, so sharply that they in stantly came to a stand-still. He glared at them for moment and said: Don't al- low that bully to lead you to death, for in tend to shoot the first man who atte mpts to enter"
 "Ye'r not sich towards as to be skeered by him; go on," cried the boaster, taking care not to advance q step himself. "Stay where you are, men, and fl he wants to burn the house, let him come and try it y
 "Yes, Zack, go an burn the house, and we'll wait here" said one of the boaster's S companions.
 But Zack was not quite so ready to go as to soo others. He stamped and swore he would eat the earth, when Luke resolutely but coolly assured him that he would get d taste of 1t if he attempted to enter the gate
 "Haln't ye comin' ter help me-" Zacl1 roared.
 "Taint no use,' said an old farmer look ing recruit, seating himself on the wood- pile. There's only five on 'cm, and ye sGy yc kin clean out dozen any time. Ye don t need us-no, we'll stay here and watch ye.n
 For q moment Zack hesitated between pride as bully and fear of the musket. Pride at last got the better of his fears, and. with volley of oaths, lie took step toward the gate. Instantly Lul1es gun covered his heart

How Scarlet Fever Poison Is Distributed.


 The Medical Era relates the case of girl aged about eight, living at Fortress Mon- roe, Va, who was some months ago at- tackled by scarlet fever, the disease running typical course. For long time no possi- ble source of contagion could be discovered. The child had not been absent from home, had been with no one lately exposed, and no other case was known to exist anywhere in the vicinity. Subsequently Dr Brooke learned that one of the house servants had nursed a case of scarlet fever Tn distant city just about a year before. After the case terminated she packed scme of her things, including some clothing then worn, in trunk and left the place. A year later she had the trunk sent to her, opened it and took out the contents, the little girl being present and handling the things. Very soon alter the latter nGs attacked, fs stated,

AS YEARS PASS BY

AS years pass by and time grows old what shifting scenes salute the eve: fouth dream becomes a story told.
 As years pass by we mend our chart, new paths pursue. To other fleliS our fancIes fiv: some lair horizon sweeps in view.
 AS years pass by. Hope never leaves the steadfast soul. In winters storm or summer sky, II nigh ambition be the goal,
 AS years pass by. What if some hoped-for triumphs fadei The sun st.ll compasses the sky; Courage that wins is not afraid,
 As years pass by. Defeats are but the fate of all, Compelling us to do or die, They oftenest rise who brayely fall,
 As years pass by. Let beauty be dream, or not, Though wealth and fame far from us ay Our struggles will not be forgot,
 As years pass by. live but keep our purpose pure, Make truth lhe apple of our eye; We can not fail, success is sure,
 As years pass by.
 -JCe Benton, in N. Y. Ledger.

THE tendency of life is to make us grovel, our better natures Icing overcome by the earthincss that encompasses them. For this reason there is constant need of noble thoughts, lofty aspirations and de- votion to good works To think of tho things that are true, honorable, righteous, lovely and of good report, is absolutely necessary, if we are to escape degradation.

A Dangerous Ictharpv.

Tho forerunner of train of evils, which too often culminate fatally, is inactivity or lethargy of the kidneys. Not only is Bripht;a disease, diabetes, gravel, or some other dangerous integral disease of the organs themselves to be apprehended, butdropsicaI diffusions from the blood, rheumatism and gout, are all traceable to the non-removal from the blood by the kidneys of certain i'm. purities.

A Dying Man Left Uncared For In
 NEW MILFORD, December 11.-Facts brought to light concerning the death of James Maddigan, who was struck by the cars Monday night, and who died from his injuries yesterday, reveal a story of lnhunlan treatment seldom equalled. It seems that Maddigan was struck by the midnight freight and thrown to one side of the track, where he was found in a short time by far mer living near by named Aaron Marsh. Instead of taking the man in charge and properly caring for him, Marsh had Mad digan removed to an old shed and de- posted him on heap of straw where he remained all night without help or medical attendance in his suffering
 His family, who live only a short dis tance from the scene of the accident. were not notified and knew nothing of his whereabouts until the next morning, when Mir Marsh after examining Maddi- gan's injuries saw that they were serious and had him brought home. Medical Examiner King was called and found that the left arm was broken twice and hung limp and that his back and one side were severely scraped and injured and that he was suffering internally
 Everything possible was then done for his relief but he died in a few hours.

FIRE BOARD MEETING.

An lntereS ting Statement of Facts
 From the Phoenix Company-Attor-
 ney Terry Gives an Opinion-BallOt-
 Ing for Chief.
 In the absence of Mayor Boughton, Commissioner Roberts occupied the chair at the meeting of the board ot fire commissioners last night. The follow company, taking excurtions to a state ment made by Acting Chief Bassett was read:
 Whereas statements have been made to your honorable body relating to the attendance at fires of the members of the Waterbury Fire department, which are reflection upon the efficiency of the department and upon its members, we would most respectfully submit for your consideration the attendance at the several fires where this company has been called into service during the year 1889 as appears on the records of said company, and we have every reason to believe that the other companies in the department can show a relatively pro- portionate attendance: January 31, ?; May 1, 27; June :, 2S; July 15, 21; August 4, 26: August %, 25; September l. 26; October }, 3S; October 24, 36; October 26, 26; December s, 27; Decem- berS, 33. The above list includes only fires where water was turned through the hose and the roll was called. At the numerous alaIms where no work was done we feel sure the attendance would not vary much from the above.

Rad Weather For Mariners.

NEW HAVEN, December 1.-The bad weather which has prevailed this fall has been very disastrous to the finances of coasting captains. Not that they have los their vessels. The wear and tear on the rigging has been much harder than usual, but half the time they have been obliged to remain in port while the ex
 penses of their crews run on just the same. Yesterday there was host of ves- sells working through the sound. With the changes of weather last night the wind came out fresh to the eastward and shut in thick, so that all the vessels bound east have sought port again to- day. An occasional craft with push ing skipper, may be seen rolling along in the other direction through the rainy yelling hanging over the sound, but most of the captains prefer a good har- bor even if it pulls on their pocketbooks.
