WARDSBORO.

Mrs. Maria Eddy, in company with
her daughter, Mrs. Irene Dexter,
from Troy, n. Y, and her grand
daughter, Miss Irene Knight, arrived
home last week, having spent the
winter and spring in Brattleboro with
her daughter, Mrs. Laura Blanchard.
Mrs. Clark Harris is home again
after having spent more than year in
Colorado with her daughter, Mrs.
Ella Gale.
Rev. w. A. Bryant and wife from
SO. Londonderry were in town last
week.
Are the people of Wardsboro
asleep? Dreaming of "the sweet
long ago" when they used to cele-
brate the glorious old Fourth with
cannons, tirecrackers, celebrations etc.
If not too far gone in the land of
dreams, why not rouse up and cele-
brate the day in such manner as
shall show the neighboring towns that
we are not to be outdone by any of
them? Why not? H.
Mrs. b. A. Hildreth has a nice lot
of four button kid gloves which for

cents. Advt.

THURSDAY EVENING, JUNE 90. $50.
Added a Proyiso.

An old vag, who has been in the habit
OF calling on certain business man on
Griswold street for dimes, was asked the
other day how much he would take TO
keep away for all future time. He
thought for a moment and then replied:
"Give me fifty cents and I'll never
bother you again"
"I'll do it. Here-let me draw up a
writing TO that effect"
An agreement was drawn up and the
vag read 1t over and laid it down with
the remark:
81 can't do it, There's something cold
blooded about that"
"But you agreed to-"

selling his manhood for fifty cents! I'd

"Well, I'll sign, but want a proviso
inserted that do not hereby lose nv
self respect, and that l do not forfeit the
right to come up stairs and strike the
man in the next room if get hard up.

CHESTER DEPOT.

We had better opinion of our
barber than to think he would go a
fishing and bring home nice string
of trout and tell what good luck he
had, when, if the truth was known,
it would be found that he bought them
of another fisherman.
Holt & Smith took a trip one day
this week and came in with 119 trout,
but we are sorry to say, they forgot
TO take rule with them.

Bartonsville one day this week.

Jealous of His Fame.

No one can be surprised when a man
refuses to share his hardly earned fame
with another, no matter how kindly his
feelings toward that other may be.
An aspiring young man, who had writ
ten yards of verses for the paper pub
lished in his native town, at first used
his initials, 81. r. L." for signature.
Later, however, he omitted the middle
letter, and friend asked him the reason.
Cant you guess?" asked the young
poetaster. "Well, it may seem selfish,
but l do want the credit of my own
work."
"Why shouldn't you have it?"
The young man looked sympathetic
ally at his stupid friend.
"My dear fellow" said he, cant you
see how it is? If use only two of my
initials people will soon associate them
with my name; but if / write j. R. L.,
James Russell Lowell will get all the
credit that belongs to me!'-Youth's

How They Were Made,

Among exclamations in common use
"Halloor and "Hurrah" have curious
origins attributed to them. 1t is said by
the author of the Queens English" that
the people Of Carnwood forest, Leices-
tershire, when they desire to hail per-
son at distance call out not "halloor
but "hallcup" This he imagines is q
survival Of the times when ono cried to
another: "a loupi a loup!" or as we
would now say: "Wolfl wolfr "Hur-
rahv' again, according to NJ, Lttre, is
derived from the Slavonic huraj, "to
Paradise" which signifies that all SOL
diers who fell fighting valiantly went
straight to heaven. "Prithce" is obvi-
ously corruption of 81 pray thee;"
while "marry" was originally q method
of swearing by the Virgin Mary.-An

Love ROMANTIC, YET MOST TRUE.

Three men, who were good and great
Favored by fortune and fate
Loved one woman; but she
Loved none OF the three
They were friends and they loved each othor
As friend loves friend, or brother brother;
But no one ever spoke
The name his heart awoke
The first his love 10 the woman told
In passions words, by hope made bold,
"Better than fame or wealth,
More than life itself,
love you, l love your he said
She listened, but she shook her head,
And answered. low and true,
II love not; love not you"
The second said; ~ love you well,
More than through life my lips can tell
Living, III love but you,
In death TO you be true"
Why, she did not understand,
But she laid In his her hand;
And throughout all her life
She lived his faithful wife.
OF his love for her. the third
Spoke never a single word;
Yet was his loves degree
The highest OF the three
He watched her live and saw her die,
But his heart never voiced a cry,
Somehow, when her life was past
He knew she was his at last.

Copper Kettles Bad.

Cider is turned into vinegar upon exc.
posture to the air, by the oxygen gas in
the air, which uDites with, or oxidizes
the alcohol, changing it into ace:ic acid,
of which vinegar is only weak solution.
Pickles are colored green by boiling in a
copper kettle, because the vinegar unites
with the copper, forming a green colored
salt, similar to verdigris. AS this color
ing matter is unwholesome and poison

mendeu.- boston Budget

BLESSINGS OK THE CHILDREN !

"Ah what would the world be to us,
If the children were no more?
We should dread the desert behind us
Worse than the dark before"
1t was only little occasion. And
why should it not have been little?
1t was all for little folks. And there
were thirty of them. Little girls
and as we gazed upon them we saw
in every one
"A garden in her face,
Where roses and white lilies grow"
How lightly life seemed to sit upon
them. Sorrows-for even childhood
has its little sorrows-had been given
to the winds. Under the spreading
naples, and on natures green-tufted
carpet they clustered in little groups
and talked over their plays-their lit
tie joys. Peace, JOY and sweet inno-
cence!
Then there were the boys-the ia
theirs to the men-the ever restless
boys
'Ah! Happy years!
Once more who would not be a boy?"
And there were thirty of them, boys
and girls, guests of Ina and Clyde,
the bright little children of States
Attorney Cudworth and his good wife,
and the occasion was the seventh
birthday of little Miss Ina.
1t was yesterday. And four o'clock
in the afternoon. On the clearly
kept lawn, shaded by the house and
naples, the little people met. Here,
too, was set long table covered with
edibles. All, the girl of larg er
growth had hand in this. This was
the mothers offering. We almost
suspect that she, too, was once a
little girl. And how her heart went
out to her children and their little
friends. But oh, this table Why
right in the middle was a great big
frosted cake-as big as the moon.
Then there were here and there small
err ones-the little stars. And there
were great fruit dishes full of oran-
ges; and there were JOnbOns in varie-
ty; and icc-cream and boquets of
beautiful fowers-emblems of inno-
cence-reflectors of cultured minds.
All, it was a beautiful sight to these
little ones-and the larger ones, too,
for that matter-and will be a spark
ling oasis in their life's journey. And
this was all for these little palates.
And ali, how it was enjoyed.
At another spot was smaller table
covered with many beautiful things
handkerchiefs and fans; sweet smell
ing and unique-shaped toilet and per-
fumery bottles ; china sets, knives and
ever so many handsome articles.
These were gifts to Ina and her broth
er, Clyde, brought by their little play
mates and friends-little tokens of
love and respect.
Altogether it was a pleasant little
occasion, all for pleasant little peo-
pie. Blessings on the children

Healthy.

Personal illustrations are usually in
doubtful taste, and sometimes are posi-
lively dangerous. A farmer was COM
planned of for maintaining a nuisance in
the shape of piggery; the neighbors
asserted that said piggery was detrimen-
tai to their health.
At the trial the rustic gentleman ar
gued his own case and summed up as
follows:

hogs is unhealthy; I say they amt. Look
