up to this time, although | had told her all
about myself, my family, my position, and
my prospects in life, all unimpeachable,
she had not confded to me any of her own
affairs, not even her destination. But now
she turned to me and looked me squarely

last night, Mr.. Franklin" she said, in tones
that l faucied trembled little.
"Mister ?" stammered, aghast at her
coolness.

tated, and shook back a tear that seemed
about to sparkle in her eye as she corrected
herself: Il should not like you toto
despise me"
''Oh, Miss-M Millicent" !" | began.
But she went on firmly "Of course we
must not take seriously anything which
circumstances exceptional-so very,
very dreadful, indeed-we must not bind
ourselves by what such circumstances forced
upon US. We will say "Good-by. now;
and-and if-if we never meet again"
''Millicent p L cried, catching both her
hands, quite needless of onlookers, "don't
coquette with me after what we have both
gone through You can say calmly to me,
IF we never meet again; say to you,
Must we ever, ever part ?
"Yes, we must part-Horace." The
words came slowly, and she did not olsen
gage her hands.
"Why? Where are you going ?"
''To Manitoba-to my brothers ranch.
l am going to settle there. If you would

Manitoba is some three thousand miles
from New York, and the Bradley ranch is
eighty miles from the railway. But l did

NONE WILL MISS THEE.
Few will miss thee, Friend, when thou
For month in dust hast lain.
Skillful hand and anxious brow,
Tongue of wisdom, busy brain
All thou vert shall be forgot.
And thy place shall know thee not.
Shadows from the bending trees
Ger thy lowly head may pass,
Signs from every wandering breeze
Stir the long, thick ehurchyard grass.
Wilt thou heed them No; thy sleep
Shall be dreamless, calm and deep.
Some sweet bird may sit and sing
On the marble of thy tomb.
Soon to fit on joyous wing
From that place of death and gloom,
On some bough TO warble clear;
Bnt these songs thou shalt moi hear.
Some kind voice may sing thy praise,
Passing near thy place of rest.
Fondly talk of "other days
But no throb within thy breast
Shall respond to words of praise,
Or old thoughts of "other days"
Since so feeting is thy name,
Talent, beauty, power and wit,
1t were well that without shame
Thou in Gods great book were writ,
There in golden words TO be
Craven for eternity.

that statement they attack the whole body

State Assessors and Recommendations.

The added legislation secured for the
board Of State assessors two years ago
has proved so successful that the sugges
tions of the board this year should be
carefully considered by the incoming
Legislature. The board has now had ex-
perience with all the different interests
of the State and its suggestions now Of
fered are made in the light of that expert
ence The meetings OF the local boards
W it'll the State assessors have proved in
valuable and the benefits derived have
been reciprocal and tend undoubtedly
toward equalization of taxation
while attention has been called to the
different methods in such way as to
suggest remedies for existing inequali-
ties.
To secure uniformity of assessors books
the board believes that it will be economi-
cal and convenient for the State to fur
nish them. 1t has been found that in
some of the poorer towns the little second
hand nelodeon or organ has been sub
iected to taxation and the assessors think
the State should exempt this class OF
property. While the assessors are OF the
opinion that collateral inheritances should
be fully taxed and that the large number
of this class of inheritances affords un-
questionable testimony that large
amounts of property escaped taxation
during the life Of the owner, they think
certain changes are needed in the law.
The marked decrease in the valuation
of vessel property and live stock indicate
the necessity of some legislation and there
is little doubt but what the subject will
be discussed at length in the coming
LEGISLATURE. The lawmakers will also
be asked TO define the manner in which
bicycles and electric railways shall be
taxed, to adjust conflicting differences be-
tween the savings bank law and the law
creating the State board of assessors; to
provide some method whereby the asses
sors may be afforded information regard
ing wild lands. information that it is inn
possible for the assessors unaided to OBJ
tain, when it is considered that AZ per
cent. of the entire area of the State is al
most an unbroken wilderness. For the
purpose of obtaining this information
it is proposed to ask the Legislature to re-
auire land owners to send the board de-
scription of their wild lands. This will
doubtless receive considerable discussion
this winter.
The board has demonstrated not only
the wisdom of its adoption by the State
but its labors have so far been such that
there should be Il disposition upon the
part of all who realize the mutual benefits
that must result from any success, how
ever slight, in the work Of equaliAing taxa
tion, to aid in furnishing the needed in
formation The report is one that . is
gratifying both by reason of it's admirable
showing of property in the State, and by
the quality of the work accomplished by

Genius Of Oratory in the Senate.

If anyone has been so unobserving as
to suspect that the genius. of oratory has
fled from the United States Senate the
occasion Of the presentation of the stat
ues of Stark and Webster must have dis
PEELED the suspicion. All the speeches
were admirably suited to the occasion but
that of Senator Hoar was the classic, the
speech that will endure as a masterpiece.
Aside from its cloquence the keenness of
the analysis of the character of Webster
has, we believe, never been excelled. The
brevity in which each salient feature is
summed up is model. OF Webster's
relations to New England the speaker
said: ''He touched New England at every
point" Again, at is scarcely too much
to say that Daniel Webster first taught
his country her own greatness. There
can be found no utterance of his, whether
he speak of his country or in behalf of
his country, which is not in II manner be
fitting first class power among the ma
tions of the world. "
"From the time of his first public
speech which arrested the attention of
his countrymen until today, his speeches
are the literature of American nationality.
No other orator or statesman divides with
him this honor" 3
ssThey are to the American what the
,,f 10 hn uaI,r
what the songs of Burns are to the
Scotchman."
Senator Hoar's reference to the time
when Webster encountered the ineXor-
able conscience of the Puritan" is one of
the most brilliant passages to be found
in the records of speech. And in closing
we must give Mr.. Hoar's own words for
they only describe themselves:
"It would have been fortunate for Mr..
webster's happiness and for his fame
IL he had died before 1850. But what
would have been his fame and what would
have been his happiness if his life could
have been spared till 1862 He would
have seen the transcendent issue on which
the fate of the country hung made up as
he had framed it in 1880. Union and
liberty the law of man and the law of God
the Constitution and natural justice, the
august voice of patriotism and the august
voices of the men who settled the country
and of the men who framed the Constitu-
tion are all speaking on the same side.
He would have lived to see the time for
concession all gone by; the flag falling
from Sumter's walls caught as it fell by
the splendid youth of 1866 the armed
hosts pressing upon the capital beaten
back. everything which he had loved,
everything which he had worked for in
the prime Of his years and in the strength
of his manhood, r,llying upon one side

science duty, all speaking together and
all speaking through his lips and repeat

Effect of Frost on Green Masonry.

+ Conclusions arrived at by an Austrian
society of engineers and architects after a
series of experiments made last winter to
determine the action Of cold on masonry,
are that in brick masonry laid in frosty
weather mortars into which any part of
lime enters should not be used. Roman
cement mortars behave fairly we'll under
such conditions, and portland cement
mortars give good results. The use of
warm water gave somewhat better results,
and salt materially increased the resistance
to frost. With rubble masonry, using
either sandstone or limestone, lime mortar
was out of place, and Roman cement NOR
tar gave poor results unless mixed with
salt. Portland cement mortar behaved
WE'LL specially with the addition of salt
The final recommendation of the commit
tee is that in laying brick or rubble ma
sonry in winter to use only portland &C.
ment mortar mixed with salt if possible.

Elsewhere in this issue the Journal
prints the report of the visiting committee
of the executive council to the Reform
School. Col Atwood is the chairman OF
the committee. He has from the first
taken a deep interest in what is being ac-
complished at this institution and nc has
given subjects pertaining to it his most
earnest attention. Tho conmitte finds the
work of the past year ut this school very
gratifying There has been an increase in
the number of admissions but the COM
mittee regards this not as an indication
of increase of crime among these unfort-
innate boys but rather that the nature OF
work done there is better understood and
that boys are sent there for less offence
than formerly 1t is wished that the insti-
tuition might become an industrial school
where boys in danger of falling into bad
habits might be sent; that its purposes
might rather be regarded as the prevention
than the punishment of crime. Certainly
the large number OF boys sent out from
the institution, who 10 well, is very graft
flying and under the circumstances re-
markable. The committee comments upon
the care shown by the boys about the
buildings. 1t would seem that there is
very little real yiciousness among the in
mates The cottage system grows in favor
and the boys greatly appreciate promotion
under this system.

If the bill providing for n national board
of arbitration passes in its present form
there will be six choice plums, five com
missionerships each with salary of $1,000
and secretary with salary of $500.
Few will begrudge the expense, however,
il this board of arbitration leads to any
thing more effective than it is likely to prove
itself There is no doubt that the inyes-
LEGATIONS and report of five recognizedly
able and impartial men would have
great influence upon public sentiment
but would be powerless in the face of the
organization of labor or of capital that
should say as did the Railway Managers
