yet his fame arose from the Wayerly work z.
 The fifth reading consisted of an ana lytical discussion of the life and works of Byron, Shelley and Keats. Upon vote of the ladies, Mrs Richardson took ure in the course, instead of Shakespeare as originally intended, while that sub- ject was reserved for the supplementary lecture. The two last readings were the crowning features of the series.
 Mrs Richardson thoroughly appreci- ates Browning, as she has been fortunate enough to solve the mysteries, and see through the angular rhythm of his poems, yet she pronounced him deep and mystical, decidedly poet of the head, while Mrs Brownings poems come straight from her great, true heart, and go directly to yours. Again she says, ''Even though obscure Browning is a writer of eminent genius, and his drama of "Paracelius," his collection of poems called "Bells and Pomegra mates" "Men and Women, "'The Ring and Bark ex- hibit great originality and depth of feel ing" But Mrs Browning's poetry has all the beauty of her husbands productions with more clearness, and of course more womanliness. Her highest convictions of life and art speak through "Aurora Leigh" The sadness which pervades 90 many of her writings, is truly re- tlPction of her own life.
 Mrs Richardson dwelt largely on the life of Shakespeare and his companion- ship with MarlOwe and Greene. That several of Shakspeares poems were not his entire productions, is very evident, '''ritus and Adroncus" and the three parts of "Hcnry the Sixth,'' bear a strong indication of being composed by another author, presumably Marlowe.
 Shakspeare's creative power was his great gift, and he had as it were the clear sight in searching out the inner workings of the human heart. One feels that he could not have been indifferent to his fame and intellectual superiority. upon reading these lines of his from one of his sonnets, Not marble, nor the gild- ed monuments of princes, shall outlive this powerful rhyme" Mrs Richardson read his invocation to sleep in ''Henry the Fourth,' what she considered to be the richest production that ever fell from English pen. We found it difficult to leave our poetic friend, and were never so impressed with har beauties, as at the moment we withdrew our hand from the s'charmed chords" Lectures do not SUD- ply the place of reading or study, but they direct and stimulate investigation.

for new lines to take side track We agree with the latter part of the article, if he means to say they should be con- pelled to take side track and not inter- fere with carriage travel. We see in case of steam railroads, that the individ- uals and town who aided in their con- ey, find after they are built that the pub lie has no rights which a corporation is bound to respect and it would be well for our legislators to place proper safe- guards on their construetion.-[H II.

MISS wEsTEvELT-MR PALMER.
 The marriage of Miss Mary A. Vest eryclt and James Edwin Palmer, Jr., oc- cured at the pleasant home of her fath- CT, 9t Bremen street, Brooklyn, on We'd nesday afternoon, December 2l. The ceremony was a quiet one, but one of un- usual elegance and beauty and will be long remembered by the few intimate friends and relatives who were privileged to witness it. It was exactly 4 o'clock when the bridal party entered the rooms where the ceremony was to take place. The apartments were prettily decorated with flowers. Miss l.. Forman rendered appropriate music on the organ. The bride was attired in beautiful tray cling gown, trimmed with steel silk. The Methodist marriage ceremony was that used, and Rev w. II. Byrnt solemnized It. Quickly upon entering, the little group took their places. The bride was given away by her father and in a few moments the ceremony was completed. The best man was w. E. Westervelt. Then an elegant wedding repast was served and on an evening train (amid the usual shower of rice) MT and Mrs Pal mer left for Huntington, Conn.,, where they will make their home at the groom's fathers, until it is thought best to occu- py the groom's new residence on Sea View farm.

RHEUMATISM PREVALENT.
Caused by the Sudden Changes of
 Temperature.
PEOPLE WHO HAVE FOUND RELIEF.

Rheumatism is more prevalent here than ever before.
 When this disease fastens upon an in- dividual with it's soreness and pain, swelling the joints, rendering him helpless in his movements. and shattering his use, fitness, he is indeed an object of pity.
 The slight pain in the back. pain or stiff- ness of the joints or muscles. is warning indication of an Impoverished condition of the blood, low state of health, and if not attended to at once, means rheu- matism.
 Rheumatism can now be relieved and cured.
 Since the introduction of Favorite Rem- edy. by Dr. David Kennedy, of Rondout, N. Y., there has been fewer sufferers than ever before.
 Favorite Remedy drives out rheumatic poison from the blood, restores the circu- lation, strengthens the nerve power.
 The best proof of its value is the good 1t has done.
 1T afflicted with infiammatory rheuma- East Nassau, N. Y So severe that I was sup posed to be a cripple for life. Under physicians treatment grew worse. Dr. Kennedy's Favor ite Remedy helped me from the time first used it, and entirely cured me. Bavefeit no trace of the disease since, and that was three years ago"
 The beautiful daughter of MT. James Nc Farland, of DeMoines, Ia, was help less for months with sciatic rheumatism. After few doses of Dr. Kennedy's Fav- orite Remedy, she began to grow better, appetite impro we'd, slept well, and con tinuing it's use, was cured.
 1T was confined to my bed with rheumatism near my heart ties Mir c. L. Seaver, of Bir- mingham, Conn, and used pr: Kennedy's Favor ite Remedy but short while before it drove the rheumatism out of my system"
 MT G. Lansing. of Troy. N. Y, had rheumatism so bad that he had to be turned over in bed. After using Dr. Kenncdy's Favorite Remedy but a short while was restored to health.
 What reason then for suffering with rheumatism or neuralgia. This medicine will help you if given trial.
