Mrs Damon stopped short on the ear

 Mrs Damon stopped short on the car riage steps to say:
 ''Is it possible, Edwardg''
 ssIes, it is even so,n returned Uncle Ed smiling. s'Come, Ruthie dear, this is the home l have brought you to; let us go in and see how you like it !" The surprised party followed him through the grounds to the door, where they were admitted by neat colored boy.
 "Good morning, John," said Uncle Ed. "Here is your new mistress,'' pre- senting Ruth, as John bowed low, after the manner of polite darkey, to wei come the young lady. ''The rooms are all in order, Johng'' asked Uncle Edward.
 "Yes, sah," replied John.
 "Very well, we will take look at them. Come, ladies'" He led them through lofty rooms most ! elegantly appointed, pausing at last in Ruth's own chamber, a lovely room, all \ soft drab, blue and silver, and fit for a queen or lady. "And hcre," he said, opening another door into q room furnished with rose color, "is room for your sisters, when they may choose to come and stay with you. 1 know you don't like to climb stairs.''
 "But--but-Edward,' said Mrs Da- mon, who was the first to recover her voice, "we are astonished beyond meas ure. thought you said you had only made d little out yonder."
 Uncle Ed smiled.
 "WelI, did make little, Mary-and never was given much to brag- ging, you know. Besides, had fancy to sec whether Uncle Edward poor and Uncle Edward rich were to be consider ed the same. You have all been kind'' Mrs Damon winced little, for she knew 1t had only been pitying sort ot kindness-"and my little Ruthie, here, most of all, for she has come to make my home bright. I'll take good care of lher, and give her hundred dollars a month for pocket money and when she marriCs l intend to settle twenty thou sand dollars on her for wedding pres Ient!"
 Isabel sank down in d chair, speech less with astonishment, while Mrs Da mon eXclaimed
 "Goodness gracious! l can hardly be lieve it yet, Edward"
 "You'll get used to it, Mary. Now Ruthie dear, take your sister to youl room and take off her things. Mary, you and Isabel must stay all day; I will sent you home in my carriage"
 Little Ruth, as she moves happily about poor Edwards magnificent home feels very happy. She was kind, gener ous and honest, and now she has her re ward.

Life Thoughts.

Life Thoughts.
 Parents cling to their child, not to his gifts.
 In taking revenge, a man is but even with his enemy; in passing over it, he is his superior.
 If good people would but make good ness agreeable and smile instead of drowning in their virtue, how many they would gain to the good cause.
 Measure myself not by thy morning shadow, but by the extent of thy grave. The world is not to be reformed or ele- vated into holiness; it has to be convert ed.-[ John Hall.
 To feel, to love, to live for self devot- ion will ever be the text of woman's life.-[ [Balzac.
 How lovingly God cares for the mill lions of springing grass blades and open ing flowers, giving them all sunshine and shower. If thus He watches over these little things, surely He will not forget His children when they cry unto Him.-[H Harl Hugh.
 Wherever souls are being tried and rip ened, in whatever commonplace and homely ways, there God is hewing out the pillars for His temple.-[ Phillips Brooks.
 It is in length of patience and endur- ance and forbearance that so much of what is good in mankind and womankind is shown.- Arthur Helps.
 The actual carrying out of the idea of Christianity as it existed in the mind of Christ would do all that nihilism, social ism or communism seek to do and would do it safely, beneficently and in man. ner not to reduce humanity to q dead lev. el of mediocrity, but to raise it to its highest possibility of character and achievement.-[E Evangelist.
 The colored sunsets and starry heav, ems, the beautiful mountains and shining seas, the fragrant woods and the painted flowers are not half so beautiful as sou that is serving Jesus out of love, in ths wear and tear of common, unpoetic life l Frederick W. Faber.
 Some things flower inyisibly and hide away their fruit under thick foliage. | is often only when the winds shake thei leaves down and strip the branches bare that we find the best that has been grow ing.-TA. D. T. Whitney.
 It is shame for rich Christian mal to be like Christmas-boX, that receive all and nothing can be got out of it till i is broken in pieces.-[Dr John Hall.

 The Fourth here, as everywhere, was q failure as to celebrations, though unu- sual preparations had been made to have glorious old patriotic affair.

 Tait's mills have started up again, re- pairs being completed. The shut down was caused primarily by the substitution of new pump by which the vat of pulp is kept full; but, during the enforced idleness, new brass boxes were placed on the steam engine and the machinery for driving either or both paper making machines perfected. The new machinery for which an addition was built, over the river, on the west side, is not ready for use, but is assuming form and shape by degrees. The old machinery has been thoroughly overhauled and is practically as good as new, as it contains all the improvements of the second machine. In place of rubber or leather belt to run the apparatus which keeps the pulp beneath the engine in constant state of agitation, an endless chain is used cffectually preventing looseness or slip ping. An improved device for stretch ing the felt blanket upon which the pulp is carried to the forming roller has also been adopted. In short, the shop is much better adapted for the manufac- ture of first-class paper than ever before. When the new paper machine is in run ming order, it will be driven by the same

CAN THE PROHIBITORY AMENDMENT B
 CARRIED IN THIS STATE?

CAN THE pRoHIBIToRY AMENDMENT BE
 CARRIED IN THIS STATE?
 This question is often heard in these days. We believe it can be. We know it will be carried, if the moral, respect able and temperate citizens will only vote for it. Because the good and law abiding citizens far out-number the dis solute and vicious of the saloons.
 If, therefore, our good and respectable citizens will only carefully consider this vote on it's merits, as between the saloon with all it's degrading and debasing in fiuence, and the home with the protect ion of its purity and sanctity, there could be no doubt as to the result.
 Though some may not think this the very best way to meet the evils of the liquor traffic, yet it is the form in which God, through His all-wise providence, has presented it to us and we are to act of this commonwealth, to whom is com mitted the protection of the homes and the future welfare of the coming gener- ations.
 We may be positively certain that every distiller, brewer, saloon keeper. bartender, anarchist, keeper of houses of i'll fame, gambler, wife beater, jail bird and pothouse demagogue will work and vote against this amendment. Surely it were enough to cause al moral and home-loving citizens to think of. their duty and responsibility wher they see all these classes arrayed against the amendment.
 Can the interest, welfare and happi ness of the home be safe in companion ship with these classes of men who art arrayed against the amendment and il l favor of the saloons?
 Surely good, honest and law-abidin2 men will not walk to the polls arm il arm with liquor sellers, drunkards home des troyers, libertines, thieves, law breakers, etc.
 We fully believe that it only need that the better class of our citizens giv' a little thought to this most importan matter, and the amendment will be tri umphantly carried for the honor an, glory of our State.-CA.

Bicyclists must also keep off the lawns and walks of the park and off the sea wall. A fine of not more than $100 is provided for each violation.
 Arrangements have been made by which the Southern New England Tele- phone Co.,, whose central office in this city is at the Housatonic building, has the use of double wire or metallic cir cult, in place of the single grounded wire formerly used. The cost of using the new system is greater, but conversa- tion is much easier.
