The note was from the secretary of

the formal notification that Harriet

HARRIET'S FAILURE.
BY JESSIE M'MILLAN ANDERSON.

For thence-a paradox
Which comforts while it mockS-
Shall life succeed in that it seems to fail. -
Robert Browning.
From the foot of the long Main
street of Northampton, Massachu-
setts, a bridge stretches across the
Connecticut River; and the visitor
in this typical part of New England
has but to cross this bridge oretread
the Indians footsteps on the wide
streets of Old Hadley.
Within a stones throw on the
Northampton side, stands a low,
struggling, shingle-roofed house with
the boughs of an equally old, strag-
Cling apple-tree tapping at it's front
windOw-panes. In an upper front
room of this house, not many Sept
embers ago-when the hackmen at
the two stations were counting up
the days profits from emptying loads
of students at Smith College doors
young girl was standing at the
open window. The apple boughs let
in between their leaves a wavering
glimpse of the water beyond; but
there was no trace of the peace of the
river in the girls face. AS she turned
to answer a knock at the door, one OF
the knotted branches hit her smartly
90 ei-@ ~sse-~i-. r. fssASsc - ---~-- +i-s-
that made her voice sharp and her
black eyes angry, as she said:
"Come in
A middle-aged, kindly-faced woman
opened the door, and, setting down a
tray on a convenient chair, said,
cheerily:
.'As you didn't come down to tea,
Miss Burton, | thought Id bring you
up a bit of toast. You haven't eaten
enough to-day to keep bird alive. .
The girl was proud-spirited, but
she was tired and sick, and very
young-only fifteen. At the Older
woman's searching look, that held sc
much of tenderness and so little o.
a strangers curiosity, she broke
down entirely, and, turning back
kneeled down and leaned her head or
the window-sill.
Mrs. Conover was poor and uncult
ured; and her life of cooking meals
for the boarders who left her only thu
kitchen to live in, had not brought
her leisure to cultivate finesse of man
ner; but at the girls evident distress
her finest sympathy was aroused
and she had the delicate intuition tt
leave her alone.
"Now eat the toast and preserves
and then go to bed" she said. /

"Tll have common-sense, If can
get into college," she said to tn
apple-tree; and shutting the window
she sat down on the edge of the bed
and drank tea and ate toast an
apple-sauce.
Then she undressed and went t
bed, though it was hardly dark, an
fell wearily to sleep, with her las
thought, half bitter half sweet, "To
morrow night I'll be at home, and

The QUEBEC HoRsE.-A movement
is on foot in Quebec to preserve from
decay the old breed of horses peculiar
to that province. We presume that
the animal indicated is that which
has long been known by the name of
the French Canadian pony. What
ever difference there may be on other
points, all will agree that the French
Canadian pony is a Quebec institution
which should be maintained. His
quality of endurance, his tractabil-
ity, and his power of adapting HIM
self to circumstances mark this pony
as a thoroughly useful animal and
one whose degeneration ought not to
be encouraged.-[Toronto (Ontario)

TEMPERANCE.
Conducted by the W. C. T. u


The fifth annual meeting of the
New Mexico w. G. t. e. was held in
Silver City, June II and 13. The free
reading-room sustained by the CO.
operation of the Union and Temper
ance League was thrown open for the
reception of visitors, and refresh
ments were served to a large number
of delegates. A deep and growing in
terest was manifest throughout all
the sessions.
The last Home Guards, the official
paper of the Vermont W. c. L. o.,
contains an account of receipts and
disbursements for the year as given
by the State treasurer, also many
other interesting items from Unions
throughout the State, and a touch
ING letter from Mrs. M. L. T. Hidden,
whom some of US know personally
and greatly respect. She tells us
something of the work in western
Washington.
A PATHETIC WARNING.-One rarely
sees a more effective temperance ser
mon, and at the same time terrible
warning against yielding to ones ap.
petite than the following letter, found
on the person of T. W. Sellick, who
committed suicide with poison at the
New Osburn House, Rochester, n. Y.
July 30. He was a commercial trav
eler in the employ of firm of marble
dealers in Boston:
Rather than have opium and rum kill me.

BURIED UNDER SNOW
The Town Of Burke, Idaho, Swept
81 BY an Avalanch.
Mise People Lose Their Lives and Many
are 1njureSi--Terror-~tri peo-
pie Hasten Their tlixht
From the Az fmsed Town

SPOKANE Falls, WASH. Feb. 5.-The
town of Burke, Idaho. in the Crur
d'Aicne mining district, has been nearly
destroyed ny disastrous avalanchcs. Half
the business houses are i'm ruins, three
men were killed and the tcrror-strickcn
inhabitants have fled to the towns Of Gem
and Wallace, fearing 4 repetition nf the
disaster. Particulars are mcagrc. as the.
wires to all points i'm the mines have. gone
down, leaving no means OF communica-
ton.
The disaster occurred yesterday after
noon, and this morning with scarcely a.
moments warning n tremendous mass OF
the west side of the narrow gulch i'm which
u is situated. Five men were buried
beneath the snow. Two were rescued.
but others are dead and their bodies have
not yet been recovered. The iil-fated
town lies i'm N narrow gllch, through
which canyon creek pours it's waters into
the south fork of the Csrur d'Alene. IL
had about 40 inhabitants, who have de-
serted their wrctched ncnacetl homes
and places of business.
Tbe nearest town is Gem, also upon
Canyon creek. and three miles down the
stream. Yesterday another disastrous
house connected with the Custer mine,
which Is situated ON the Nine Mile creek,
about five miles from Burke. The board
of whom were killed. Others had n
marrow escape and N number were more
or less injured. The disasters are not "a
Rrapt:y of that section.
The towns are situated in very marrow
Giilches either side of which abrupt
mountains rise. The snowfall this winter
has been unprecedented in th., history of
the country. Within the last few days il
has been raining hard, which has had the
effect Of loosenin3 the deep SNOW banks
and l'recipitating them upon the town and
houses below.
Later Reports from Burke indicate
that no lives were lost there. Mr.. and
Mrs. Wise and Jack Waite and wife were
buried in the snow slide, but were all res
cued with slight injury. AT the Custer
mime, however. the disaster worse
than at first reported. Six men
were killed outright; aiaong these were
Jack Galt,raith, foreman of the mine !;
Mike Flynn, cook, and Tom Maloney, "a
young miner. Forty men employed at
the mine i'm two shifts. One shift
WAS below and the other was eating
dinner at the time the avalanche
rlIshed upon the boarding house.
Many other avalanclIcs have occurred in
the Cssur a. 'Aiene district. The canyons
are 81. OF SNOW, rocks and grs.A. trs.e,.
The people of that whole section are ter
ror-strickcn and dare not sleep tonight.
