The springtime hath its winds that kiss
The roses, white and red
Nor shall one sweet wind 60 amiss
Where any rose Is she'd.
Aud summer hath her sigh and song,
But I lovethee the whole year long
The winter hath its frost
And roses, born OF spring
And summers flowers in Ice are lost,
And birds forget to sing
ALL winter doth grievous wrong,
But love thee the whole year long
Life hath but little space
Men love, and then they go
For all their glory and their grace
Beneath the stars and snow.
o, Death 1t doth grievous wrong,
But love thee a whole life long

 fore Many Years.
 Rev. Dr. Foster, who visited Ansonia recently, and preached in the Congre- gational church, writes his impression of this locality to the Chicago "Ad- vance" as follows: >..
 About fifteen miles northwestof New Haven, Conn, at the junction of the Nau- gatuck and Housatonic rivers, Is sur- prising galaxy of young cities. The two rivers here form 8 letter Y. At the right hand side of the Y is the city of Ansonia, and below it is the city of Derby; between the two arms of the Y is Birmingham; while on the left side of the Y is Shelton. Already Birming- ham and Derby have been welded and Birmingham has merged its identity in that of Derby. Nothing butrivers now divide the other places, and belt line of electric railroad connects themall. A water power of 10 900 horse poweris form ed by huge dam and lateral canals be- tween Birmingham and Shelton, much of it yet unused, while at Ansonia is another water power supplying the power to many mills. Already nearly 25,000 people have a home in these ad- jacent villages, and 1t requires no great gift of prophecy to believe that not many years will elapse before 100000 people will find a home in this beauti- full valley. Connecticut is the natural home of innumerable ingenious manu- facturers, and this valley, with its re- markable water power. its railroad fa- cilities, its navigable rivers, its proxi- mity to New York, must inevitably forge ahead at rapid rate.

STATE PRISON REPORT.

Improvements Instituted Under Warden
 Woodbridge -ftnsneiai Statement.
 The annual report of the directors and warden Of the state prison covers the period from July l. 1893. to October l. 1894. During the fourteen months many changes have been made for the more humane and rational treatment of the prisoners In the way of sanitary and other Improvements In the prison build ings, outdoor exercise and labor for the convicts, and other minor reformatory measures, Warden Woodbridge consld- CTS the time opportune for the introduce ton of classification of convicts and a systematicai attempt at reformatory treatment.
 The directors declared the prison was not fit for the proper confinement of prisoners when they made the examin- ation required by the legislature, and were obliged at once to undertake ex- tensive repairs and alterations. A con sidera ble part of this work was done by convicts selected for the purpose. inas- much as the convict labor contracts have not given employment to all the prisoners. On August 1, 1893, there were 133 convicts sentenced to hard la- bor who were without employment. Ex- piration of contracts, reduction of oth- CTS and concessions made to keep the rest have brought down the income of the convict labor materially.
 Appropriate accounts for business aggregating s1O0,OO0 in fourteen months have been submitted for the old system, where a convict kept the books, saving hundreds of dollars to the state. The sum of $22, ,496.S2 was expended for sal aries, prisoners provisions cost sl0,- 776.67, heat, light and water $6,76042, clothing and bedding $1,021.19, medicine $592S2, tobacco $S36.60, provisions for warden's family, officers and hired help and entertainment of state officers s6,- 590.62.
 There are 404 convicts now confined, more than can be accommodated with cells If those now in the hospital re- cover. Warden Woodbridge recom- mends an increase of the salaries of the watchmen; additional accommodation for convicts; the erection of an insane ward for convicts, and the purchase oe eight acres of land adjoining the state property on the east.

OFFERED CONFEDERATE MONEY.
HUNTINGTON.

Dec. 25.-About 8 fourth of a mile west of the Plantsville depot the forg- ing shop of H. D. Smith & Co. is situ- ated. and on a winters day it is pleas ant to watch the men working at the forge fires. The office and storeroom of this concern is of brick and will take up your attention as you pass by. One of their large forging shops is also of brick. When the hands quit and start for home at night there is one house which must often catch the eye, and that is sQuare-box house on the road towards the depot. Back of this house some improvement was made a few years ago, but it is hoped that none will be made to change the white box house which Is a landmark that all the hands must like from the shop and also those who pass that way. The old school house used to be near here.

 There is something about the tone of affairs here now which shows that we as people have got to g. place in town or borough life where we like 1t first rate and that we are going to do bet ter and better public-wise, as the months go by, and with the aid of older places such as New Haven we hope to keep out of entaglements, and when we get to making 8 line of sewers here we hope to be able to make the dirt fly, and after getting our system in work ing order we hope that it will give the best of satisfaction. There can be no good whateyer in doing anything by halves here. and our sewers must be large and of the most approved make. There should be openings at many places along the whole line, so that an abundance, of light can find 1t way ip, and every stone put beside another should be put there to be there for good long time.

 Fred Johnson of 181 St. John street had narrow escape from drowning Christmas eve. He got on Santa Claus jag" Monday evening, and wan dered aimlessly around the lower part of the town. He wandered on and on until he wandered off the end of the sewer dock at the foot of East street. He was fished out by William Falby, special police officer. Johnson was taken to the lookup at station 2, where he was stripped of his clothes and wrapped in blankets. He was given restoratives and yesterday morning was as we'll as ever. He has sworn off from the use of liquor, and says New Years day he will fortify the good res- olutions anew.

MAKING THE BRONZE BUST.

How Governor Morris Submitted to Have
 His Face Covered With Plaster of Paris.
 The success of the First regiment ri- fie team in winning the first prize for regimental teams-the silver cup-ne- cessitated a new prize to be shot for an- nuaHy until won three times by the same regiment. The importance of the subject demanded that the prize should be good one, which would be appreci- ated by the National Guard and stimu- late the regiments to make extra effort to win the first prize. It puzzled the quartermaster general for some time to decide what to procure. Pictures, cups and statuettes were easy to obtain and as common as the subjects they repre- sent in many instances, but something more illustrious was aesired. At last one day General Harbison hit upon the idea of having a bronze bust of Gov ernor Morris. The sculptor, Gerhardt, was consulted and after much persua- sion Governor Morris consent was ob- tained. o. D. Rist was consulted and agreed to have the model cast, and a few days ago Governor Morris bust in imperishable bronze was received from the foundry of Bureau Bros. of Phila- delphia.
 It is now in the quartermaster gen. erals private office at the capitol, where it. will remain for few days. The bust will then be placed in the Third regiment headquarter parlors, the reg ment having again won the first prize in the rifle shooting at the new range at Niantic.
 The Hartford Courant has the follow ing about the manner in which the bust was obtained:
 "The bust is a life-like representation of the dignif1ed governors features and should be so, as it was modelled from life. One afternoon, after the arrange ment to bust the goveNor had been made, O. D. Rist, contractor, and Carl Gerhardt, sculptor, called on Governor Morris at his office in the capitol. Nothing but an exact imprint of the governors features and whiskers would do, so Governor Morris was compelled to submit to an operation which called for considerable self-sacriflce in the way of discomfort.
 "He was laid on his back on the lounge and invited to look pleasant and close his mouth and eyes. Quills were inserted in his nostrils, his face and whiskers were plentifully bedaubed with grease, and then Sculptor Gerhardt plastered the features of the head of this commonwealth with plaster of par is in liquid form. The plaster ran into the governors wrinkles and dimples, and, as 1t were, blew partially through his whiskers.
 ''In a few moments, after the sculptor had seen that every corner of his sub ject's visage was we'll covered, the plas- ter was allowed to set and was then re- moved from the governors countenance in the form of a mask. Governor Nor ris pronounced 1t the most novel expe- rience of his life. The National Guard boys should remember the discomfort Governor Morris was subjected to, to enable them to be possessed of his im- age in bronze. The skill of the sculptor reduced the mask from life size to the size required for the bust.''

Mrs. Ballington Booths Opinion of Amer
 ican Slums.


 ican Slums.
 In contrasting the denizens of the old world slums with those of the new, l should say that the brain capacity, wit and spirit of the people is far in the as- cendancy here, while the crime and desperateness for evil may be addition ally strong. Again, it should be re- membered that in some cities the slums are exceedingly cosmopolitan. This Is particularly so in New York city and the city of Chicago. To meet this dif- ficulty we have in our slum brigade representatives of all the different na- tfonalities, French, German, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Irish. Italian and American. which enables our workers to reach many who could not possibly be reached. and dealt with in other than their own language.-From "Sal- vation Army Work in the Slums," by Maud Ballington Booth. in the Janua- " Scribner's.
