To the Editor of the JOURNAL ANp:CouRIxR:
 That great bunch of purple lilacs brought it all back to me; and as buried my face in their fragrant depths, the years fled away, and as was little child again. standing under tho tall luxuriant lilac bush, that grew at the east side of our house, wonder ing how ever should eontrive to reach the largest blossoms, which were always on the very top.
 What delightful spot 1t was; that large white farm house, with the tiny panes of glass that glowed and sparkled, in the rays of the setting sun. My grandfather. when a young Presbyterian minister, built the house; here, he brought his bride; here, they lived their honored lives, and from here, they were buried; and here, all of us children were born.
 How cool and pleasant it was in that front door, shaded by magnificent naples, that were planted when the house was built, more than century ago; and what glori- ous view we had from that same door, of hill and valley, green woods. and wide spreading meadows.
 We used to creep to our fathers side as he sat on the little porch enjoying the fearful thunder storms, and very safe we felt as we clung to his loving hand and listened to his sweet, sonorous voice as he sang of Gods goodness Sin the storm and thunder" to his favorite tune of Bunker Hill. We wers safe then with our hands in fathers, for he was SC good no harm could come to him.
 Then see myself, one of group of curi- ous and half frightened children, going down the hill to the large white house | in the valley below, where one o1 our playmates vas dying. She wanted l to see us all. and bid us goodbye and as we went in one by one and saw her so white and thin. we came out sobbing as i our hearts would break. Then we followed I her, as the bell tollsd mournfully, to the lit tie churchyard close by, where they buriet l her out of sight. It was 50 strange and aw ] ful, that first sight of death. They told U she was very happy now; that she was

SLOW HUT SURE.

SLOW HUT SURE.
 The messenger boy is notoriously slow, but, in the slang of the day, he sometimes gets there. Be has just won a notable vic- tory in New York court, where he appeared as plaintiff against the company which em- ployed him, and he demanded $4, unlawfully retained from his prinoeiy salary for May. It appears that the boy, whose front name was Michael, answered call from Barclay street store, and received from the proprietor or clerk glass sign about five and a half inches wide by about eight feet lopg, or four feet taller than himself. "Take this package" he was told, handle 1t carefully, and be quick" Michael tried to ebay all the injunctiens, but had not gone far ere dis aster came to the fragile package. The boy said that man ran into him. upset him and caused the demolition of the sign. The sender "kioked," and demanded that the company should pay; the company did pay, and reimbursed themselves from Michael's wages. Michael objected, and obtained. 6 fres summons for the man ager of the district, and that individual appeared, with tho general superintendent and treasurer of the company and legal coun- sel. The company claimed, and the man. ager on hearsay evidence swore, that, in the we'll known manner of messenger boys, the boy stopped to talk with another boy, and, getting into an argument with his opponent, sought to emphasize his disapproval by elub- hing the other boy over the head with the glass sign. But tho court decided that no private company or person had the judicial right to impose fines on its employees In com- mon law, and as there had been no agreement investing the company with that right in the contract, they would have to pay the boy his wages. besides costs.

THE COMING MAN.

We shall have 6 now superintendent of schools in this city If the Board of Education ever gets time to attend to the matter. Fort unately there is no need of haste, and there should be aone.- The Board has an opportu- nifty to do good thing for tho school district, and it should do It, without fear or favor, and without scheming.
 There has been some highly ridiculous talk about selecting Q new man. The idea that he should be a business man rather than an educator has been put forward. The names of notorious place have been men- tionsd. Of course all such suggestions should not receive the slightest consideration. They probably will not. What is wanted is the best equipped man that can be found, and any salary that is necessary to get him will be we'll spent. It would not be wise to take any of the principals of the New Haven schools. Some man should be hired who Is thoroughly educated himself and who knows how others should be educated. He should be man of mental size and force enough to deal with the situa- tion, and not too closely welded to "methods." Above all, he should be man not afraid to speak his mind both to the Board and the teachers. He skould not be a 'boss' or an intrigusr. A man can be found who is experienced, right-mindsd, able and honest. When he is found he should be hired. and when he Is hired he should not be hampered by the Board. and he should not be made to feel that it Is of mere ina portance to win tho favor of two or three men than to do honest and faithful work.
 We have no deubt that the members of the Board of Education feel their responsibility in this matter. It is great one.

As his remarks are reported, he characterized 1t as unseemly to make sort of town crier of the occupant of pulpit, and suggested that it would be preferable to post all notices on bulletin board in the ve6ND0le or the ohurch.
 Normandy butter is losing It's footing In the markets. Between 1889 and 1897 the the annual export to England fell of by nearly 32, GOO, 900 francs. That the cause of this decline is the fraudulent adulteration of the article is adMittsd by syndicate of but ter merchants of northern France, who have recently issued an appeal to their country men to endeavor to divert this disaster to the trade. The fraudulent admixture of olsomargarine is said to be extensively prac- ticed in Caen, notwithstanding special laws lately enacted on the subject. The syndicate referred to propose that the buttermakere shall be compelled to impart to the fatty substancs useda as substitutes for butter some coloring matter, 50 that its presence may al once be apparent to the eye.

their profound regret oyer the closing of

Moore recognize in him the true gentle

val Academy, and it is just to say. that
their places cannot be filled until their

The Winter Solstice.

The sun will arise at the extreme south
ern limit of its journey on the 2lst of
December. and then commences the
astronomical winter. This point in his
course is called solstice, and as the word
implies, the sun seems to stand still for
a few days before starting north to ripen
both our wits and our crops. Months
will pass, however, before we can APP
preciale the increate in light and heat,
and we shall no doubt have practical
proof of the old saying, thatas the days
lengthen the cold begins to strengthen.
In the days of the old heather nations
the year began when the sun started
north. 1t was the jubilee of the year to
their simple natures, the long -looked for
ward-to hour when, with music, dancing
and festive offerings, they paid homage
to the rude deities they worshipped,
and in whose powers they had implicit
faith. To them the sun was the great
representative deity and the winter sol
stice the time peculiarly devoted to relig-
ious worship. Our own festivities and
thanksgivings at Christmas time are no
more genuine than were the simple faith
and trust that were symbolized by the
observances of the ancients at the time
when old Sol turned his face northward.

Remembering Their Pastor.

While the Rev: j. ID. Rayiield, pastor
Of the Eastport Baptist Church was at
tending a teachers meeting las night, q
number of his parishioners entered his
residence on Green street. and took his
family by surprise. by depositing in every
direction Of the room. bundles and bas-
kets filed with groceries of every descrip-
tion-thus showing the kind relations
existing between pastor, people, When
the Rev Rayfield returned from his mis-
zion Of instruction, he was equally sur
prised to find that his domestic home had
been invaded by such angles Of mercy.
A friendly greeting and word of pray
er and thanksgiving was offered by the
zealous pastor to his flock, and when
they departed they felt that they had in
their humble way expressed their love
and appreciation Of the services their
pastor had rendered them during the
past year. These friendly greetings
of pastor and people are very encourag-
ing and go far to strengthen the conf
dence, love and esteem Of both the pas
tor and his flock.
