MOUNTAIN PINES.
See, on the mountain top aiar.

See, on the mountain top aisr.
Those lofty pinnacles that reach
30 near 70 heaven that star
Burns like taper bright in each.
There, changeless all the season through,
That green cathedral lifts its spires,
The first 70 catch the morning dew,
The last TO hold the sunset fires.
Within its aisles no sound is heard
While Summers service decks the nave;
Its altar knows no priest; NO bird
Sings from the emerald architrava
But when, wrspt in her shroud of snow,
Beneath the roof lies earth asleep,
4 mournful music, measured. slow,
Wakes in the summit OF yon sleep.
That solemn dirge of winter brings
The heart to ponder thoughts divine;
1t is Gods harper strikes the strings
Stretched on the forest harp of pine.

HILLS RECORD.

The New York Evening Post publishes the fol.
lowing clear, succinct statement of the leading
frauds and illegalities executed by David B.
Hill IN order to accomplish the theft of the New
York legislature:
When the eanvassing board OF Onondaga
county was ordered by the court to send back
some defective returns to the inspectors for the
correction OF clerical errors, one OF the members
OF the board left town with some of the defec-
tive returns and was absent several days, delay
ing the canvass and making it impossible for
the courts orders to be obeyed. When the
member returned and gave an unsatisfactory &C.
count OF his absence, the court pronounced him
guilty OF contempt and sentenced him to fine
and imprisonment. The governor pardoned
him before his imprisonment began.
In Duchess county Mr.. Desne, the Republi-
can candidate for senator, was elected, but died
shortly afterwards The canvassing board
counted in MS Democratic opponent by trans
ferring figures from one columns TO the other in
adding up the totals, and sent a certificate OF
bis election to Albany, unsigned by the county
clerk. Justice Barnard, q Democrat, declared
this certificate fraudulent and Illegal, and
ordered the board to issue q certificate to Deane
and forward it to the board OF state canvassers
at Albany. Il was forwarded by mail, then
taken from the hands OF the postal messenger
before il could be delivered, and subsequently
forwarded egain. The court OF appeals
reviewed the case and affirmed Justice
Barnard's decision, declaring the unsigned GER
tidcate fraudulent and Illegal, and saying that
the state canvsssers should not canvass IT, but
should canvass another, properly authenticated
and containing the legal action of the county
canvsssers, provided such another should be be-
fore them In defiance OF this decision the state
canvassers met, their chairman. the secretary of
state, NJ. Rice, declined to say whether or not
the properly authenticated return had been re-
ceived, and canvassed the illegal return, declar-
ing the Democratic candidate elected. The
stealing OF this seat gave the Democrats a ma.
!ority of one in the Senate.
In the Twenty seventh senatorial district the
Republican candidate was elected by an unques-
toned majority, but was declared by the court
OF appeals 10 have been ineligible because he
held city Office at the time OF election The
court declined to say what the senator should
dom the case, merely declaring him ineligible,
but 1t Intimated very plainly that the proper
and honorable course TO pursue would be to
order a new election The Democratic ma
iority OF the Senate gave the seat TO the Demo-
cratic candidate, who had not been elected

Judge FulIer's School Days.

"Mell," as Chief Justice Fuller is
called by the people of Old Town, lived
in that city as schoolboy ten years. He
was studious boy, and a terror in
spelling schools and in the lyceum where
debates were held. "Mell' took part
often against grown folks, and out of
one of those discussions there grew a
quarrel between man now an ex-judge
and the present chief justice that has
never healed. The ex-judge was a
young school teacher then and "Mell''
was in the second class in the school. In
the lyceum one night the boy defeated
the teacher in debate and got some ap-
plause.
Full of wrath the teacher sneeringly
alluded to his opponent as ''tow headed
stripping of boy" Fuller retorted by
saying if his only fault consisted in be-
ing boy he thought "some time he
should be as big man as the teacher
thought himself to be, and that would
be great indeed" The teacher slammed
down his desk cover and then went
home. All that term he ignored Fuller
as scholar When the ex-judge heard
that Fuller had become chief justice OF
the United States he wanted to know
what in hlanknation the people of this
country were thinking about.-Kenne.

You have no idea of the calls made
upon the average merchant for contri-
buttons to every conceivable charity.
The senior member of this concern was
going over the books in january, and
when he glanced at the footings in the
charity book, as we call it--a book
where every dollar expended in charity
is entered-he said something must be
done. Either the house had to chop on
charity accounts or go out of business
Some persons imagine that these de-
mands are made periodically. They are
incessant. All applications of this char
acter must come to my desk, and there
isn't day that | receive less than half
dozen letters begging for assistance,
while the personal applications are so
numerous that we have had to make
rule that they must be made between GER
tain hours. Some of these charities are
eXacting. One when refused threatened
us with a boycott. We probably would
not have suffered financially from any
thing of the sort, but we didn't care to
have any notoriety in connection with
such a matter ,and submitted to being
bled, for that was what it amounted to.

We learn that some at West Towns
hend and Townshend are grumbling
about receiving mail from this place
at night, thinking that postal clerk
Gassett carries it by IN the morning.
This is a mistake. The mail that
they receive from the north at night
goes down in closed pouches, for
Brattleboro on the afternoon train,
and comes back at night The SIF-
TER, for all narrow gauge points, will
leave this place today at II 80, 60
ing direct to Brattleboro from whence
it will be returned tonight. We have
reason TO believe that Mr.. Gassett is
an efficient clerk, and carries nothing
by.

The nomination of Levi X. Fuller
for governor would be simply suicidal
upon the part of the Republican party,
seeing that there are hundreds of Re-
publicans in his own county who will
not vote for him under any consider
alton, and it is believed that the
number in the state will reach into
the thousands. 1t may be well to
remember that next fall men cannot
be led up to the polls and voted,
neither can any espionage be placed
upon them, but the ballot, under the
Australian system, will be perfectly
secret. That hundreds of men will
take the advantage of this to vote
against nominations unworthily made
or bought with money cannot be
doubted by any sane man. Give us
clean man who is not forcing his
nomination, nor trying to encompass
it by the free use of money and other
disreputable means and there need
be no fear of secret ballot.
