Very few men can get much sentiment
into second marriage, but the late j. G.
Lowell made quite a pretty romance oil
this unpromising event in his life His
first wife, Maria White, the sister Of a
cassmate of Lowell's, was the embodi-
ment Of womanly grace and charm, the
very ideal of a young poets dreams; a
poet herself, she understood and de-
lighted 10 Lowell's work. The early
wears Of their married life were spent
partly in Cambridge and partly in Rome,
and in the freshness of their young hopes
several lovely children were born to
them, OF whom only one is now living.
1t was an ideal life that the Young
poets lived, for Cambridge is the prettiest
OF New England places and the Rome OF
that day was unspoiled by tourists and
delightfully."- unimproved. But Mrs.
Lowell lived only a few years, and when
dying left her only child to be educated
by dear friend of her girlhood; for
several years Mabel Lowell was under
the care of her adopted mother, until she
came to love her as If she were indeed
her own.
1t was then that Lowell married again,
and for his wife chose the trusted friend
OF his first love and the foster-mother Of
his child.
Since his first marriage the public side
of Lowell's character had developed, and
it was as the wife OF the ardent anti
slavery worker and American minister to
Spain and to England that she became
known for her wonderful tact and strong
good sense; many an awkward scene
and unnecessary interruption was Lowell
saved by his wife's ready wit. AS his
first wife had been the fulfillment OF his
youthful ideal, SO was his second the wise
companion and he!pmeet OF his ripper
manhood: her first thought always be-
ing to keep the worrying annoyances of
every day life from her husband, whom
she realized was fitted for the great
affairs Of life and should not spend him
self upon those trifies that are peculiarly
trying to man Of Lewell's creative
temperament.
In counting up the varied achieve
ments Of the life Of such man it is only
fair to recall the help of the unfailing
friend who has ever stood by him ready
to lend hand; although it is never pos
sible to estimate how much of what is
best in the mans accomplishment is the
direct result Of the intelligent comrade-
ship OF such a wife.

A Polar Bear for a Jailer.

On the western coast OF Greenland
is a settlement called Upernavik. 1t
is peopled partly by Eskimos and
partly by Danes. In this settlement
dwelt Danish clergyman, Olaf Ntil-
son by name, with son and a daugh-
ter: Oscar eighteen years old, and
Hilda, sixteen.
In early summer, Oscar frequently
went hunting walrus and seal, with
his gun or spear. 1t is well known
that this cold. cherries coast is never
without icebergs One June an ice
berg thus drifted straight to the
mouth of the harbor Of Upernavik.
There il grounded, and the in-shore
wind pressed 1t with great force up
into the Jaws OF the harbor. The sun
honevcombed it, and left huge dark
caves in many parts close TO the
waters edge, and into these caverns
the sea went booming with great
sound. Oscar and Hilda went of in
their kayak to see it; and they noticed
that the quiet pools which had
formed in the caves were the resort
of seals and walruses during part OF
the day.
Il shall have some good spearing
there said Oscar, As they turned
their kayak toward home. So he
ground his spear sharp, and oiled the
barbs at the point, which was shaped
like an arrow, bent a new line 70 the
handle and the next day set out
alone in the kayak. Meanwhile, Hill
da went up the valley for the goats.
Her parting words to her brother
were to be careful and to keep watch
for bears. a. this was fayorite haunt
Of the fierce polar bear.
Pulling his kayak up on the rocks.
Oscar proceeded out to the berg, the
base of which was not less than two
acres in area, and from it rose to
considerable height two columns OF
dark blue ice somewhat resembling
towers in form. One OF these was
honeycombed at the base, and
through the sides Of the low fiat mass
upon which the towers rested were
various openings. so that when an
ocean swell came rolling in, it went
through these perforatiOns with
mining sound. He decided that he
would enter the main cave at the
base OF the ice tower, hide there, and
wait.
Moving along carefully, with the
coil OF line hanging upon his shoulder
and the spear in his hand, he entered
the dim. cold cave. The open space,
Oscar told me, was about forty feet
square. and in the center OF il, dip
ping eight or ten feet below the floor
of the passageway, was a deep pool
OF water covering about half the area
OF the floor of the cave. Into this
large. square block OF ice had fallen
from the roof.
How fortunate its presence will
soon appear.
Oscar crouched down on the cold
gray ice, his spear grasped in his
hand. and his coil of rope lying be-
side him with one end fastened to his
wrist. A gurgling sound, as OF hurry
ing water on the other ride OF the
pool. came to him, and he watched
and listened to make out the cause.
Presently he saw two round black
heads disappear as IL they had gone

UNBELIEF.

There is no unbelief;
Whoever plants a seed beneath the sod
And waits TO see 1t push away the clod,
He trusts in God.
Whoever says, when clouds are in the sky,
"Be patient, heart; light breaketh by-and-by,
Trusts the Most High.
Whoever sees, meath winters field OF snow,
The silent harvests Of the future grow,
Gods power must know.
Whoever lies down on his couch to sleep,
Content to lock each sense in slumber deep
Knows God will keep.
Whoever saws, Tomorrow" The I'm
known
The Future" trusts the Power alone
He dares disown.
The heart that looks on when the eyelids
close,
And dares TO live when life has only woes,
Gods comfort knows.
There is no unbelief;
And day by day, and night, unconsciously,
The heart lives by that faith the lips deny
God knoweth why

Dispatches were received from Chill
early this week stating that the new pro-

adopted very high-handed course toward

The residence of Minister Egan had been
practically surrounded by spies and armed
guards, who denied the free entrance of
persons who wished to visit the legation
and permitted no one to enter without a
passport from the provisional authorities.
Several citizens of the United States had
been arbitrarily arrested and imprisoned.
This news was so serious in its character
that it was considered at a two hours con-
ference of the cabinet, held at Washington
on Monday.

GRANGE NEWS.

Windham County Pomona grange met
with West River grange at Townshend
Sept. "a, where they spent a pleasant and
profitable day. Notwithstanding the threat
ening weather a good number were present.
The success of the grange occupied the
last hour of the morning, the ESSAY by
lady from Protective grange taking the
lead and was followed by several members,
each bringing some word of encourage
ment to those present. The dinner on the
picnic plan was not slighted, every one tax
ing hold willingly The afternoon session
was public. The earnest words of well
come by the master of West River grange
was responded to by member of Vermont
grange of Wardsboro. Then came a dec
lamatiOn by a young man which was a
model temperance lecture, telling us plain
ly that we could not make the sale of in
toXicating drinks legal without sin. An
essay by another young man showed that
perseverance had more to do with our sue
cess in life than luck. The grange choir
enlivened the exercises by appropriate mu-
sic. \ former master of the Pomona
grange opened the discussion upon inn
proved business methods for the farmer
and was followed by several patrons.
Among the many methods suggested were
the following: Keeping accounts so that he
might know what part of his business did
not pay, then either let that alone or i'm
prove it so that it would pay; arranging
some system of selling crops; regulating
all dishonest dealings until every thing is
Just as it is recommended; paying as you
90 along, never allowing the habit of get
ting trusted to fasten itself upon you.
The question of keeping the boy upon the
farm was well considered by the first speak
er and was interesting to those present if
one may Judge by the readiness with which
the people talked upon it. Various rene
dies were suggested for this constant drain
from our farms and homes. The following
were some of them: Making home pleasant
by books, papers, games and good time
generally: less hours of labor; making
them partners in some business transac-
tion, and educating them from early child
hood to respect the home more than the
city life.
No town in this county is better able to
say whether the keeping of thoroughbred
stock is indispensable for the farmers pros
perity than Townshend for there the keep
ing of that kind of stock is not an expert
ment now. The question is settled that
there has been great improvement in stock
in that section since the introduction Of
| thoroughbred animals, and was plainly
/ shown by the remarks of the residents of
| that town as well as other towns. Then
came the hand-shaking and good by till we
meet next time in BrattleborO.
