IN MEMoRIAM
Asleep in death, our precious FRIEND
We cannot see the light
That once in tender love looked out
To us, from eyes as bright.
Those paid lids are folded now
In quietness and test;
And yet-and yet, we cannot think
LIFE is a dream at best.
Asleepi Asleep? All, mol AWAKE
To glory and TO light.
While we look through the darkened glass
Thou hast received thy sight.
Oh dear dead friend we weep no more
Thou art awake on Heavens shore.
So quiet lie these lily hands
Upon thy silent breast;
Their work IL over; oh! how sweet
Must be the well earned rest.
Their loving clasp. so kind and true,
Has helped us many day,
But as we press their fingers cold
Love seems to sweetly say:
"All you have felt which thrilled you 90
When hand clasped hand of old
ls living stronger, truer now
In heavenly power untold"
Oh faithful hands, We know at last
Thine earthly labors all are past.
Then tell me not our precious friend
Who lies cold and still
Is dead. although our willing feet
May roam no more at will,
The well-known paths of earth again
Together as Of old.
With springing step, the angel form
This body did not hold
Has leaped tn everlasting life
While we grope on, below,
Awaiting for the voice of God
To call us, too, TO go
Where life and freedom reigns supreme,
Awakened from Earth's fitful dream.

WATERBURY, AND NIER1DEN.

An Apology From the silver City in
the Necklace Matter.
The New Haven Sunday Registers
Waterbury correspondent, says the Mer-
iden Republican, sends an article which
is all wrong, and positively misleading.
There is nothing but the kindest feel
ings existing in Meriden towards Water
bury. and if any votes went from here
to Danbury it was on account of local
shop jealousy, and was the act of in
dividuals, for some personal reason, pro-
badly believing that Danbury would
lead Waterbury, and they desired to
make sure of defeating Miss Braiuard,
or, to put it more it more strictly, the
Manning & Bowman shop. If the con-
test lay between Danbury and Water
bury, and MGrlden, as a whole took
sides, it would naturally throw its votes
and influence for its neighbor, Water
bury, which is in close Communication
with us constantly, and with whose peo-
pie we have interests in common. We
might say that as the contest is over, it
is about time we heard the end of that
diamond necklace, over which time and
money have been unprofitably spent
It was silly affair, engineered in New
York to exclusively boom the World,
and we regretted that our people were
dragged into it. But it may be lesson.

WORLD OF SPORTS,

Shindle is doing the best batting for
the Philadelphia Brotherhood club.
Detroit leads in the International
league. The team from that place has
not as yet lost a game.
Bernard Lynch, of New Haven, who
claims to be the bantam champion of
Connecticut, is matched to fight Is
rounds, four ounce gloves, with an I'M
known, for purse of $500. The fight
is to take place within four weeks
Lynch recently whipped Paddy Hogan
of Ansonia.
It used to be claimed that Harry
Stovey led the world in base-running.
because the Association catchers were
not A in their throwing. 1t is notice
able fact that the Brotherhood receivers
have not been able to stop him. He
averages about one stolen base to a game
and will likely lead the Players league
at the close of the season.
Captain Arson says if the National
league would only nod its head he would
challenge the Players club in Chicago to
play a series Of seven or eleven games,
the entire receipts of the same to be
given to charitable institutions. He
would also make side bet that tho
representatives of the old Chicago club
would win.
Pony Moore has issued challenge
through the columns of the Sporting
Life against the world, offering to back
Charles Mitchell to lift greater weight
than any one living, to box or wrestle
with any man who may care to test him
and all for the sum OF $1,000.

necessary to back the train in order to
extricate the unfortunate victim, and in

tilating him in frightful manner. He

and will die. He is thirty five years Of
age and has only recently came to this

The work Of earthworms, in the op-
erations of nature, is a very important
one. Darwin has shown US that they
are constantly occupied in making the
soil more mellow by perforating it
with their galleries, and that they en-
rich it by collecting in these subterra-
mean passages earth that has been sub
ject to change in their intestines, and
also leaves, which have fallen to the
ground and r dragged into
their retreats. But if these little
beings can accomplish such won
ders, it would be interesting to
know whether the Megascolides
Australis, an earthworm of Au-
s~tralia, has a like mission. This crea-
ture is of the size Of an ordinary adder,
and at least six feet long.
A writer in La Nature says that it is
usually to be found on the banks of
small rivers, though it occasionally
seeks the open country, where one may
come upon it by pulling up a stump
or upturning the earth. 1t is not an
easy matter to drag this worm from
the winding galleries which form its
retreat. 1t glides about the sinuous
passages with great rapidity, initiating
its anterior and posterior extremities
at will, and thus bracing itself against
the walls, which it renders Shiny by a
secretion from its own body. Its moist
substance slips easily through the
hands which would retain it, and
when once fastened to the adhesive
walls of its home, it can only be re-
moved by breaking its length in two.
