If LOVE WE'RE KING.

II Love were king tho wide world DER
And hearts, united to the core,
We're vassals of his majesty,
Faithful and true eternally,
Earth wero an Eden cvermore!
His scepter like wand would pour
Upon our lives precious store,
Sweeter than balm of Araby-
II Love were kingi
The arching sky, tho sea, the shore,
The stars and sun and moon, Lenore,
Would smile to greet souls such as we
Blent one In ono through days to DO
Till limo himself grew old and hoar-
If Love wero king!

Poetic License.

Poetic license entities authors to do
almost anything with the language in
order to support the rhyme and meter,
but there are cases when they seem to
raise the limit, so to speak. On a
tombstone in the northern part of the
state can be seen the following:
Beneath these cold and silent stones
Lie the remains of Samuel Jones'
His name was really Smith, not Jones,
But his name was changed to rhyme with
stones.

pulled it into him." quavered the second
mate as with trembling fingers he cut a
life buoy adrift.
For moment it looked as if he was to
follow Dan, as the men, with black
Bcowls and loud curses, crowded around
him.
But the skipper and the mate rushed
mp and between, hearing the while many
words hot and bitter.
The watch below, too, came padding
aft with naked feet and sleepy eyes
And presently, on the smooth, oily sum-
init of u comber far away, they saw their
shipmate, floating high, with crowd of
birds lowering about him.
But had they been 1000 instead Of 90
they could do nothing more than useless
~ throw life buoys and hencoops over
board, and watch through contracted
eyes, with little means of pity. One can
do no more, hove to in the southern
ocean, with 40 foot sea running.
GOD help himv said the skipper.
HE was good man." and he shut the
glass with snap, giving the second mate
look that meant mischief.
Hes riding high" said the chief Off
Ger, peering. THE wind that kept him up
isn't out of his clothes yet. But the birds
are at him. Poor beggarl There's one
big brute right OH his head"
AT this there was u growl and wick
ed sort of move of men toward the second
mate, standing aloof and sullen.
The captain had walked away aft and
was starring up at the Irish pennant,
still fiuttering from the slackened brace.
The chief still peered through his glass.
Seeing murder in many eyes, the sec
ond mate gave loud cry and snatched
an iron Delaying pin out of the rail.
The cry was echoed by one of amaze
ment from the chief, who, dancing with
excitement. roared: Hes gripped him!
Stand by all hands with your bowlines!
Here he comes like house a-fire! Hoo
rayl"
And the men yelled again and fell to
knotting bowlines furiously as they
looked and saw Dan borne breast high
out of the water, hanging on like grim
death to the legs of a huge albatross,
towed up one green comber and down
another, but always coming closer.
Heralded by shrill SCREENINGS of rage
and terror and the quick tapping of
mighty wings, the strange procession
came until almost close aboard, abreast
of the mizzen rigging.
Then as a big sea passed, leaving a
smooth valley, somewhat sheltered by
the ship, Dan let go, and score of bow
lines flew around him in SO many sec
onds.
Hauled on deck, nearly naked, with
bleeding head and hands, he staggered
to his feet, and singing out the second
mate he fell upon him and would have
cholled him had his strength held.
But it did not. So presently, wrapped
i'll warm blankets and with six inches of
hot rum qualifying the salt water, he
was put in his bunk
The great bird still sailed about the
ship, swooping down for the pieces of
biscuit cast to it with liberal hand by
the men, when the skipper went up to
the second mate.
$50 and get that Irish pennant down."
said he.
The man went without word. When
he reached the deck again, blue with
cold, and his teeth rafting, the skipper
said:
You can go into the focsle now,
Brown, and stay there. You won't be
wanted aft any more. And hope you'll
enjoy yourself"
And he did.-Exchange.

The Pioneers Visit Canaan.

MT and Mrs Larpenter, from St Paul. Minn., made some of their friends in Canaan a short visit last week.
 In 184l Mir Lsrpenter went from Bal timore, Md, in company with Jesuit missionary and they were the first white settlers in St. Paul, which place Mir Carpenter has from that time to the present, made his home. His wife was one of the first three white women to settle there; and their daughter was the first female of white parents born in the town.
 Mir Larpen nter is a man of uncommon energy and perseverance, and has con- trlbuted his full share to the growth and prosperity of the city. Its increase in wealth and population has been surpass- ed bv few cities in onr country. if in deed, any have equaled it. during the first half century Of their existence. Its population in 1890 was more than Ill GOO.
 Mir Carpenter early gained the conf dence of the many Indian tribes in the great North West, which confidence he still retains. He has often been employ . ed as interpreter in treaties and in busi- ness transactions with these tribes.
 MT and Mrs Larpenter have daugh. ter in Philadelphia with whom they will spend few weeks before they return to their home. T.

THE FITZGERALD CASE.

At the opening of Justice Roberts court on Thursday morning, to which time the trial of the liquor cases against James Fitzgerald had been adjourned, the defendant pleaded guilty in the case against him on reputation and was fined S30 and costs. the latter amounting to Sl9 05. He pleaded guilty to keeping liquor with intent to sell in one case and was fined $50 and costs, taxed at S22 S5. In four cases of keeping with intent to sell, the defendant demurred. His de- murrers were overruled and he was fined $50 and costs in each case. From these judg ments, defendant appealed to the Superior. court, giving bond of S10O with his father, Patrlck Fitzger. ald, as bondsman, in each case. Eight cen cases of keeping liquor with intent to sell were nolled on payment of costs. We were informed by the State's Attor ney, MT Huntington, that the fines and costs actually paid out by Fitzgerald would foot up to about S364 %. The four cases appealed to the Superior court will not be pressed as long as Fitzgerald keeps his promise to refrain from selling liquor. States Attorney James Huntington, of Woodbury, and Wellington B. Smith, of Winsted, 3D. peared for the prosecution, and IL. J. Nickerson, of West Cornwall, for the de- fense. It will be seen that, all things considered. the defendant was let of with light punishment. He was Riv- en the full benefit of the fact that he pleaded guilty and promised not to do SO any more.
 The proceedings in court were charac- terized by all the solemnity and decor um of some religious gathering. The audience, or congregation. was compos- ed largely of people who do not gener- ally take much interest m justice court trials, including a large number of ladies, who came to show by their pres ence their sympathy with the viudica- ton of law and order in this village.
 After the trial the zealous and ener- getic Mir Simmons, the prosecuting agent, and Constable Grant, of Bark hamsted, took the liquor, which had been seized and condemned, from the Warner House cellar and. demolishing the beer and whiskey casks with axes, and breaking the rum bottles. they poured the contents on the thirsty earth which at once absorbed 1t in spite of its being in mo license" town.

Bishop Williams.

The Right Rev John Williams, D. D. l.. l. D Bishop of Connecticut. is now the senior bishop in order of consecra- tion not only of the Protestant Episco- pal church in this country but of the whole Auglican communion throughout the world. There are other bishops in this country and in England who are older than he in point of years. but none in order of consecratiou. He was consecrated in Hartford when he was bnt thirtv-four years old, on Oct. 29, 1851, and is therefore in the fortv-third year of his Episcopate. but is still qnite strong and active in the administration of his sacred office. He is to visit Christ church in this place on Friday evening, March 18th. and will preach and administer confirmation. A large congregation always welcomes him whenever he comes to Canaan and no doubt many of our townspeople will wish to hear him again. The service will be at 730 D. m.
