1t Is doubtful IL the new lIousatonic
station at Newtown is ready for occupa-
ton before October |, possibly not until
later. The outside is practically finished,
bat the seats for the interior have not
arrived and there is about two weeks
work for the painters, who were recent
ly ordered to Sheffield to paint the new
station building there. 1t is similar to
that ut NewtOwn and will be finished
about the same time.

Often has it been said by the advocates
of beer and wine drinking that, in the
European countries where beer and wine
are quite generally drunk, intemperance
is uncommon. This may have been true
once, but, if we are to believe the Co
logne Gazette, it is so no longer. Ii says
that intemperance has increased to such
an alarming extent in central and north
ern Europe that effective legislative
measures have become necessary il the
evil Is to be counteracted. Specialists
have been appointed by the German gov
eminent TO study the problem and pro-
pose the proper measures. Whether it
be that the beer is of heavier quality,
or has prepared the way for the use OF
stronger drink, the fact remains that in
beer-drinking Germany and wine-drink-
ing France drunkenness is on the in
crease.

In Il fair and ancient city,
Meath the blue Italian sky,
Where rich treasures Art has gathered,
As the years rolled swiftly by;
Treasui es vast of painting, sculpture,
Rare mosaic, carving strange
Stands \ statue that has witnessed
Four lo,sg centuries of change.
Long ago aN,lock of marble
To that cityStair was borne,
Marble free tro,u stain or flaw mark,
Pure as pearlySsloud OF morn;
And the rulers sought a sculptor,
Babe him carve aNstatue grand,
That it might adorn their city,
Fair as any in the laid.
But the sculptor's hand, Snskilful,
MARRIED the beauty of the stone;
1t was cast aside worthless,
Left unheeded and alone;
Covered DER with dust and rubbish,
Vanished all its beauty rare;
So it lay-spoilt, ruined, wasted!AS
Lay through many q wearied year
Till young and unknown scv1ptor,N X
Passing by, with thoughtful brow,
Saw the stone, and said ''An angel "
Hides Within it even now.'' y
"Take the stone, andlfree the ANGEL y
Said the rulers, half iii scorn. !
Many a day the artist labored,
Until one fair Summer morn
Saw the statue stand completed;
And the rulers proud declared
He had found the hidden angel
In the marble once SO marred.
And in place of highest honor
Glad they set the statue fair;
While the city rang with praises
OF the sculptor's skill SO rare.
Read we not a deeper meaning
In this tale OF long ago
Story OF "a souls salvation
From the depths of sin and woe?
Made by God in perfect beauty,
Crown of all His Eden bright;
Ruined, lost by sin and Satan,
Hidden far from love and light,
Till the great, the Heavenly Artist,
Cleansed away each soil and stain,
Carved and shaped, until in beauty
Shone Gods image forth again.
Then the Masters hand removed it
| To the place prepared above,
While the heavenly city echoed
Praises TO redeeming love.

Every attempt to beautify the SUR

them attractive brings its own reward in
the happier life Of those who iBhabit
these homes Hut apart from this, there
Is tangible business advantage to be
gained by country villages when they are
made especially attractive to city visit

village alone, but to all the surrounding

Farming is going out OF fashion. They
want to take what the farmer raises and
trade it out, taking toll. It is easier to

it is to look after the COW and milk her;

be so. People can't always live off one

WOODBURY..

WOODBURY. OPPOSED TO A NEW COUNTY.
After each new census, by statute, new
counties may be formed. The subject of
new county of Waterbury, taking in
the towns now comprised in the district
of Waterbury, is beginning to be discuss
ed. We think that Woodbury. may safe
ly be counted as substantially unit
against the plan. After the last census,
Woodbury. was in favor of a new county,
as evidenced by the favorable vote of a
large town meeting and an agent was ap-
pointed to favor the project before the
Legislature. The result was the inclus-
ion of Woodbury. in the district OF Wa
| terbury. So that now we have the Su-
perior and Common Pleas courts in our
own county, the District court of Water
bury, which has substantially the juris-
diction of the Superior court and, where
one party resides in New Haven county,
we have the Superior court at Waterbury
ut such times as the judges do not trans
port it to New Haven. Woodbury. is
well accommodated and satisfied with
! piSScIib WIFI bEc eX-
ception of the migratory character of the
Waterbury Superior court, which Water
bury can remedy by letting in IA little
| ''more light into its court accommodate
tions, thing it ought to do. Ii it is SER
iously proposed to have a new county,
Woodbury. would no doubt appoint an
! agent To oppose the plan before the Cen
eral Assembly. We have one of the best
new court houses in the State and we
should be in Lo mood to pay Il tax for
new county buildings and extra expenses
of new county. The only earthly reas-
on for the creation of IA new county
would be TO create lot OF new offices
for the benefit Of the lawyers and our
people will surely not take kindly to
that. We are well off now, and, so far
as we are concerned, we shall be sure to
let well enough alone.
