ABOUT BATTLES BROOK.
Farm Help.

The terrible tragedy at Hanover
/ teaches this lesson, that farmers can
not afford to employ workmen of
whose antecedents nothing is known
or can be learned. The hired man
upon the farm is not now as a rule
the character hewas forty years ago,
when he was generally a resident of
the neighborhood, who stood on a
level with his employer, was often his
associate and adviser as well as CO.
worker; who sat at the family table,
occupied the family pew in church,
and took lively and unselfish inter
est in everything pertaining to the
farm and occupants; but he is even
now on the ordinary farm necessarily
one of the household, brought into
daily contact with all its members
and familiar with all their habits and
most of their business, and it is far
from enough that heis intelligent and
able and willing to earn his wages.
The tramp may be an honest man,
but the man who will give no account
of himself is certainlynot n person to
be taken into n respectable farmers
family. Indeed, it may be said that
a tramp who, like Almy, is intelligent,
educated and capable, is invariablya
scoundrel, for if he were not he would
not be obliged to seek work away
from home, and it may be laid down
as a rule, which it hardly needs the
awful homicide at Hanover to en-
phasize, that land had better go un-
titled and crops unharvested until
farmers can secure assistants who are
known not to be outlaws. And this
suggests that thereis nomore difficult
problem connected with eastern agri-
culture than this one of farm labor.
As we have said, the old-fashioned,
honest, industrious, intelligent, faith
full "hired man" is no longer to be

the sailor hat reappeared.
Miss Chalcey was there waiting, sc
was her little lunch that she always
ate when Cline and Wallace went
down to Delmonico's, and on Cline's
desk was a tiny bunch of violets. He
shook hands with her, congratulated
her on her mothers recovery and
said: "Pshaw! don't mention it, my
child. I'm just about as kind as the
average business man-nO more, no
less. We've got a terrible lot of bust
ness here"
They both laughed.
Cline was in particularly good
spirits that morning. Itwas SO com
Portable, don't you know, to have
the office routine go on in it's regular
business-like way-tO hear the click of
the instrument to get the side
glimpses of two white rounded wrists
dancing a gallopade; to know that
the chip hat was covering up that in
fernal bronze peg, and you couldn't t
hear the devilish bullfnch. 1t went
on about a week, with a little bunch
of viOlets every morning on his desk,
which he always put in his button
hole when he went uptown. There
were two days when he hadn't got a
pin, and she had, and so she fastened
them on for him, and there was one
awfully nasty day when he actually
helped her eat her lunch, and enjoyed
it.
Then the whole affair came to a
sudden stop. These things always
do in real life
1t was Monday morning. She had
hung her hat up and busted off her
machine and looked to see if Bob Slo-
GUMS shades were there, when Cline
said, with horribly sad expression
of countenance:
"Miss Chalcey, you've been a very
faithful and efficient secretary, and
I'm sorry I've got to lose you, but
the fact is I've found the woman |
want, and of course shall not need
you any more"
She was looking at him dreamily,
as if she wondered where the paragon
came from that filed his bill.
Eyes" he said, strange as it may
sound I've actually picked out the
woman who is to be my wife and |
shall not want a secretary. We've
had a very pleasant time here togeth-
er, haven t we?"
Eyes, sir
"And you remember all the quail
ties that l was fool enough to expect
in one woman?"
eyes, sir"
"Well, I've found most of 'em."
'I'm very glad, sir"
"Do you think, Miss Chalcey, from
what you know of me that she will
have me if ask her?"
Eyes, sir"
you truly think so on business
principles?"
Yes, sir"
'"Then, by Jove, Ill marry her. You
can consider yourself discharged, ,
Miss Chalcey-Ncllie"
And she was.
The only business-lilie thing they
did was to both try to look out the
ridiculous little pane at the same
time-and no two business people
could do that simultaneously with
out looking like Siamese twins.-Nym

found, and there is no one TO take his
place. Labor-saving machinery has
done something towards filling his
place, and this is all that saves the
agricultural industry from complete
ruin, but there is tillmuch TO be done
on farm that must beaccomplished
by brain and muscle, and whenever "a
farmer finds himself i'm a position
where heand his family cannot supply
these rs they are needed he is In n
sore strait, and it is natural enough
that he should accept the first man
that offers. though he be one whom
under ordinary circumstances. he
would no more admit to his house for
a long stay than he would a wild
beast. The remedy we cannot point
out, but it is obvious that the one
thing no farmer can afford is to har-
Dor for weeks and months without
any knowledge of his history orcbar-

O'Clock, when the festivities We're nj

! He replied that he never permitted
enjoyment to interfere with his health
and that 10 O'Clock was a good hour
for him to retire. All present laugh

IDLE WORDS.

Once / said,
Seeing two soft, starry eyes
Darkly bright as midnight skies,
Eyes prophetic of the power
Sure to be thy woman's dover,
When the years shall crown thee queen
OF the realm as yet unseen
"Some time, sweet, those eyes shall make
Lovers mad for their sweet sakel"
Seeing tresses, golden brown,
In bright shower falling down
Over net K and bosom fair
As your sculptured angles are
Odorous tresses, dropping low
Ger forehead pure as snow,
Some time, sweet, in thy soft hair
Love shall set a shining snarel"
Once / said,
Seeing lips whose crimson hue
Mocked the roses wet with dew.
Warm, sweet lips, whose breath was balm
Pure, proud lips, serenelE cain,
Tender lips, whose smiling grace
Lit with splendor all the face
"Sweet, for kiss of thine some day
Men will barter souls awayl"
Idly said
God hath taken care care of all
Joy or pain that might betal
Lovers lips shall never thrill
At thy kisses soft and still
Lovers heart shall never break
In sore anguish for thy sake;
Loves soul for thee shall know
Nor loves rapture, nor its woe;
All is said

One morning there came to Cline's
general office in broad street a girl in
baby waist, with a pearl-gray pc
lisse over her shoulders and a cornell
ian ring on her finger. One of Cline's
young men noticed her standing by
the door. He told me afterward that
what he noticed was the absurd chip
sailor hat with blue ribbon and an
anchor on it, and he wondered if she
hadn't borrowed it from her little
brother to come down town in; it set
up so perky and saucily on top of her
ridiculous wad of brown hair, as il
she might be a lieutenant in the sal
walton army.
It's astonishing what things these
young idiots notice,
He went round and said, "What
can we do for you, madam"

THE HOME.


To the east of the grove stands the
home, large, cool and comfortable
with broad verandas 1t is located
in nearly the centre of ninety-seven
acres of meadow land, through as
many more acres in pasture and wood
land, owned by the state of Vermont
adioin the estate on theeast and west
but are separated from the home lot
proper by public roads. To the east
of the home and reaching as far as
Park street are the barns, stables and
graneries of the institution. To the
south is the great green level field
where in a few days the Vermont ma
tional guard will be encamped. To
the north of the home are the laundry
and workshop. At that point also
stands the new hospital The main
ward is eighty feet long and the build
ing has an attractive cottage front
of forty feet in width.
FEATURES OF THE HOME.
The old part of the home, which is
three stories high including the attic,
was formerly a portion of the sum-
mer estate of a wealthy New York
gentleman. The home was enlarged
two years ago by the addition of a
100-foot wing, two stories high with
dormer windows, running to the east.
By this enlargement sleeping apart
ments were provided for seventy in
mates. On the lower floor of the ad-
ditiOn is the dining-room, 3OX31 feet,
with a reception and smOking-room
adjoining. On the second floor of the
wing there are thirteen sleeping
rooms, each 9x12, and a long hospi-
tal-room which will accommodate
twelve beds. There are also on this
floor a bathroom, medicine-room
and closets.
FURNISHED BY THE GRAND ARMY.
Twenty-three of the sleeping-rooms
have been furnished by individuals
and Grand Army posts of Vermont.
One room has been furnished by Judge
Griffith and others of Willard post,
Troy. In the older portion of the es-
tablishment are located the private
apartments of Major Coffey, the pop
uiar and efficient superintendent of
the home. There are now fifty eight
inmates whose ages range from forty
seven to eighty-one years. They are
not required to do any work what
ever at the home, nor are they al
lowed to do any small jobs about
the village. Under this rule some of
the old fellows have found it difficult
to kill time or to make a few dimes,
and such persons are permitted to
make rustic work, such as flower
stands, sofas and the like for out-of-
door use, and are easily sold in the
village at low prices. Others spend
much time in hunting, fishing or
berrying, but the majority find re
creation in reading or in conversation
or in strolling about the grounds or
village.

The Eternal Fitness.

It was ON Second avenue surface car.
A woman was standing up and holding
to strap, while among those sitting
down was a man so fat and bulky that
he certainly occupied the space required
by two ordinary persons. The woman
standing up must have realized this fact,
for she looked down upon him in cold,
icy manner. He saw that she did, and
he felt it his duty to explain:
