THE MOON PATH.

The full. clear moon uprose and spread
Her cold, pale splendor o'er tho sea;
A light strcwn path that seemed to lead
Outward into eternity.
Between the darkness and the gleam
An old world spell encompassed me;
Methought that in godlike dream
Itrod upon the sea-
And 10! upon that glimmering road,
In shining companies unfurled,
The trains Of many a primal god,
The monsters Of the elder world:
Strange creatures that, with silver wings,
Scarce touched the oceans thronging foor,
The phantoms Of old tales and things
Whose shapes are known no more
Giants and demigods who once
Were dwellers of the earth and sea,
And they who from Deucaion's stones
Rose men without an infancy;
Beings on whose majestic lids
Times solemn secrets seemed to dwell,
Tritons and pale limbed Nereids,
And forms Of heaven and he'll
Some who were heroes long Of yore,
When the great world was bale and young;
And some whose marble lips yet pour
The murmur of an antique tongue:
Sad queens, whose names are Ike soft means,
Whose gr;efs were written UP in gold;
And some who on their silver thrones
Were Soddesses Of old
As if I had been dead indeed,
And come into some after land,
I saw them pass me ano take heed,
And touch me with each mighty hand;
And evernore murmurous stream,
So beautiful they seemed to me,
Not less than in a godhke dream
trod the shining sea.

DEATH OF ,a1CHAEL a. BALrE.


He auddenly Expires While 1t His
Work This Afternoon.
Michael A. Balfe, shipping clerk at
Benedict & Burnham's factory, died sud-
denly shortly after 2 o'clock this after
months Mr. Balfe has been a sufferer
from liver troubles, and at one time his
condition was critical. The crisis was
passed several weeks ago and he has
since been on the mend and was able to
resume his work.
Mr. Balfe was one of the best known
Irish residents of Waterbury, and has
held many offices of public trust. For
number Of years he acted as city treas
urer and he has also served as selectman
and as member of the school board. He
resided at 65 South Elm street and leaves
a wife and one daughter, Mrs Thomas F.
Jackson.
Mr. Balfe was born in Ireland about
sixty years ago, coming to Waterbury
when a young man. For thirty-fve
years he has held the position of ship
ping clerk at Benedict & Burnham's and
was generally liked and respected.
The Immediate cause of Mr. Balfe's
death was hemorrhage. He was taken
i'll shortly after returning to work this
afternoon and failed rapidly. DIR North
was summoned but could do nothing,
Mr. Balfe's constitution being weakened
by his long siege of sickness.
The family of the deceased were ter
ribly shocked when they received the
sad news. At noon Mr. Balfe appeared in
the best of spirits and after dinner
played while with his little grandchiid
as was his custom.

STATE PRISON MATTERS.
Removing the Machinery Into the
New Shops.

CnO M0Cnln0ry INTO the
New shops.
A meeting Of the directors Of the state
prison was held at Wethersfeld, yester-
day, in regard to making an arrange
ment with the firms Of Hunt & Hol-
brook and Marcy Brothers, who employ
convict labor in their shops. The two
firms together employ over 200 convicts,
and the terms of the contract are such
that the contracting firms must pay the
wages of the convicts through the dura-
ton of the contract, whether they find
work for them or not. The firms are
going to remove their machinery into
shops recently built by the state, as
there is an agreement that the state
shall furnish the power. The firms con-
sidered that they ought not to be made
to pay the entire wages of the convicts
while the machinery is being trans
ferred into the new shops. The matter
was amicably settled by the directors,
yesterday, so that the state shares the
loss of the wages paid during the trans
fer Of the machinery.
A committee was also appointed by
the directors, yesterday, consisting Of
Messrs Francis Wayland, Edward J.
Murphy and Willis s. Bronson in re-
gard to the making Of a new set of rules
for the entire management of the
prison. The present rules were made
when laws were in existence which are
now obsolete.

"Royston'e Oath"
Miss Redding and Mr. Smith now fill

presented this powerful play last even
ing to large audience, and gave entire
satisfaction to all present. Miss Red
ding's singing, always a strong feature,
was well received. She is the best singer
we have had at popular prices. Indeed
the company as whole give better per-
formances than many high priced at
fractions. Miss Redding as Nellie Roy
ston, the hayward wife, portrayed the
part in most charming manner, and
her costumes were exquisite. Mr. Smith
as the hero, Joe Royston, was manly
and powerful and was called before the
curtain. Mr. Smith seems to have a
peculiar fitness for roles Of an heroic
order, and possesses the faculty of win
ming his auditors the moment he ap-
pears on the stage. Mr. Lee as Dawson
was clever. The advance sale for this
