Rhapsody.

As the mother bird to the waiting nest
AS the regnant moon to the sea,
AS joy to the heart that hath first been
best
So is my love to me.
Sweet as the song of the lark that scars
From the net of the fowler free,
Sweet as the morning that song adores--
So is my love to me.
AS the rose that blossoms in matches
grace
Where the canker may not be-
AS the we'll that springs in a desert place
So is NV love to me.

On the battlefield.

The sun rose over field of wheat,
And warmed the breath of an early
spring;
The smiling flowers made the morning
sweet,
And there were caroling birds to sing;
And by the brook were children at play
Planning their childish games for the day.
But the sun sank over field of red,
Leaving no wheat nor a farmhouse there,
Only the CHASTITY lines of the dead,
And blackness and ruin everywhere;
And along the brook instead of play,
Were the silent forms Of blue and gray.
IF. II. Sweet, in Blue and Gray.
Strayed.
My voice has grown discordant, so
The little songs used TO know
Have gone where lost things be.
They are too small, l know, 70 mourn,
And yet-they are too weak TO Scorn-
They are a parh OF me-
Perhaps-when summer birds return
With Southern fashions We can learn,
And bees begin to hum,
Half hidden in some fragrant thing,
Or tucked beneath a robins wing,
My truant songs may come
-Berths Gerneaux Davis, in Kate Field $

A lily said to threatening cloud
Which In sternest garb arrayed him:
You have taken my lord the sun away
And 1 know not where you have laid him
50 it folded it's leaves and trembled sore
As the hours of darkness passed it.
But at morn, like a bird in beauty shone
For with pearls the dews had dressed it.
Then it felt ashamed Of its fretful thought
And fain IN the dust would hide IT,
For the night of weeping had Jewels
brought,
Which the pride of the day denied it,

Mary,s HOur.

Beside her knee He stands, a little Child
Learning to read; one finger ON the Book:
In the divine. uplifted glance, the look
That only Innocence wears, so sweet, so
mild, -
And yet so sad withal that something stirs
Deep, down in Mary's heart, that well of
love.
Ye know it, stricken mothers. He was
hers
Her only one her Beautiful. her Dove
All, He is smiling now. A flood of peace
Breaks DER her soul. Let her be glad to-
day.
All bloodless yet the Lambs unspotted

This is her hour. and Calvary far away.
Close to her cheek she feels His baby
breath;
Full many a springtime lies 'twixt then,
and death.

Dressing to Look Young.

The tendency Of the present fashions
is to make women look young. Mothers
are not put into shabby black gowns as
a background for their pretty daughters,
but it is sometimes hard to tell which
is which. The girl may vince when
some one just introduced says, Your
mother-impossible?" but she must con-
slider it is not because she looks old, but
because her mother looks so young.
Couture, bonnet and gown have all con-
tributed to this end. Age is not speci-
fed i'll any of the beautiful brOcades,
made III the most picturesque fashion
and trimmed with quantities of cream
lace. Like Cinderella's slipper, they are
meant for the woman they fit best
There may be a slight distinction in the
brocade meant for the younger women,
but this is not very noticeable. The old
er woman is entitled to wear more dia
monds, and she is privileged to wear
her choice Of roses. Her slipper is the
same little pointed affair, with the same
little rosette Of lace, which is the latest
fad. Her fan is just as delicate, her
jabot just as fluffy and her lace pins no
less numerous. Her bonnet is just as
tiny and her parasol quite as orna-
mental. Who can tell a woman's age
these days?-Brooklyn Eagle.

as good a school as was maintained

Southworth taught a number of terms
in this school under the old district sys-

knowledge that they were just as sue.
cessful as under the present one. The
teacher is the one to make difference
in school, not those who employ her

West New bury,

Obadiah Carleton Barnett died at his
home in this town, Tuesday, May 9Th,
1894, after an illness of few weeks.
Mr.. Barnett, was the sixth of the eight
children of Robert and Betsey
(Varnum) Barnet, and was born July
9th, 1911, in Topsham, to which place
his parents had removed in the prevl-
GUS year, from Goffstown, N. H. He
was of Scotch Irish descent and was in
the fifth generation from John Barnett
one of the first settlers of Londonderry,
N. H. He had few early advantages,
and began to work out as soon as he
could be of any use, at first here, and
later for some ears for Hon. Josiah
Little at Newbury, Mass. Returning
to this town he bought of James Abb
bott in 1888, the farm on which he died
and from which he accumulated COM
Portable property. Being in rather
poor health he sold that farm to the
town for town farm, in the spring of
1866, but, feeling discontented away
from the familiar fields, he bought it
back again the next year His first
marriage was Dec. 23d, 1S41, to Eliza
beth, daughter of Jacob and Sarah
(Peach) Bailey. She bore him three
children, George, of this town, Bessie,
and Sarah, (Mrs, Sherman, of Lowell,
Mass. He wrs married second time
April 9th, 1859, to Mrs. Ruth L.
(Wells) Elkins, who survives him.
They had one son, Robert E., who
remains on the old farm. AT the time
of his death he had been a member of
a Congregational church in Newbury
longer than any other person, having
Joined the First church May 3D., 1929.
His brother-in-law, Deacon Wells, is
now the only remaining member OF Ell
ther of the three churches of that order
in this town who joined the First (and
then the only) Congregational church
during the pastorate of Rev. Clark Per-
nv. OF 1911 persons admitted during
his ministry of seven years only eight
are known to be living. Mr.. Barnett
lived for many years, seven miles from
church, vet was seldom absent from his
pew, when weather and roads would
permit him to be there. When the
West Newbury church was formed he
was transferred to its membership.
His death removes a respected citizen,
whose influence and example were al
WAYS cast upon the side of religion,
temperance and order. He had many
peculiar traits, as most men have, who
make their way in life by energy and
tireless industry, the fruits of which
he lived to enjoy and he was spared
the failure of mind and body which So
often accompanies old age. A kind
nelghbor and good citizen, he will be
long missed by all who knew him and
most of all by the family circle or
which he has so long been the husband
and father.

The distinction Of owning the most
powerful fashlight and the largest

next trial was that Of the fixed lenticu
lar in connection with powerful electric
src lamps, the light in this case being
equal to "a, 600 candle power and ca
pable of being seen 81 miles. The next
trial was that of electric arc and flash
ing machinery yielding $4,000, 600 can
die power, which could be seen no
less than $50 miles ON a clear night
The light now in use at this Titan Of
the lighthouses has power equal TO 40

be seen 243 miles. St Louis Republic.

The Emperor and the Artist.

CarpeauX lived i'll close intimacy with
the imperial family at the Tuileries, at
Compiegne and at Fontainebleau. He
chung to his old patrons after their fall
and came over to Chiselhurst to give les
sons to Lulu. One of the most striking
specimens of his skill is portrait of the
dead emperor in his coffin. Another and
more cheerful example will be found in
the original clay group in which the
prince imperial is playing with Nero,
his fathers favorite dog The latter
could only be induced to sit to the
sculptor by the bride of a plentiful sup
ply of cherries, while the boy was re-
warded for his patience by permission to
dabble with the Jumps of clay in the
studio. Making little men of mud was
the child's great delight, and several
bits of his workmanship included i'll the
forthcoming show at Paris display re-
markable aptitude.
At ball given in the Tuileries Car
peaux met charming young lady, Mile.
de Montfort, whose rank, as he thought,
precluded his making an offer. Next
morning he presented himself very early
at the emperor's door and begged for an
immediate audience. Sire" he cried
on gaining admission, "please to create
me a baron. Napoleon III, much
amused, got him to tell his story, and
explained to him that a title would in
no way enhance the value of his name.

A ROMAN MODELS TROUBLES.
the Thin Man and His Disastrous Ambition
to Pose For Hercules.

The Piazza di Spagna, one of the fin
est squares in Rome, is the capital of
the English speaking colony. Some of
it's older members grumble good deal
at the manner in which the forestieri
have taken possession of this beautiful
piazza, fogetting that they themselves
were the pioneers of the peaceful con-
quest. A broad magnificent double stair
way leads from this place to the terrace
of the Trinita de Monti above. Here the
models cOngregate, and here the artist
comes to find his Mary, or his Circe, his
Pan Or his st. John. They are all here.
The gods and the demigods of Greece,
the saints and martyrs of Christianity
personated by whole families of models.
A graybeard who once served the paint
er for Narcissus is now accounted the
best patriarchal model in Rome, while
his wife, in her youth the original of a
famous Psyche, is now being painted as
the oldest of the Fates. Children and
grandchildren have followed the same
calling, and the babies of this family are
in great demand because they can pose
almost as soon as their eyes are open.
The story of Pietro, the hopelessly fat
model of many pictures of bulky monks,
has certain moral. He began life as
the very thin man. He posed for ENACT
ated hermits and dying saints, but he
was such a living skeleton that he was
only available i'll rare cases, the modern
taste being more for Drawn and muscle
than for skin and bone. Pietro finally
made a heroic resolve He left Rome
and went up into his own little native
town in the hills, where he spent many
months in Transforming himself from the
very thin man into the very strong man.
He often describes his training, which,
if original, was at least effectual.
There being no gymnasium at hand,
he used two chairs for parallel bars, and
having no trainer invented many curl
Gus and useful exercises, by the aid of
which he, who had left Rome Titho-
nus, returned to it Hercules. Now, alas,
he has all unwillingly developed into
another stage and become so enormous
ly fat that he is hardly more often avail
able to the artists than he was in the
first stage of his career.-Rome Cor.
