Penned and ScissOred.

From the Hartford Times report Of the republican legislative caucus held to consider the proposed constitutional con- mission:
 MT. Washburn of Stafford, the father of the house, proposed resolution that each member be allowed to vote on the question as he thought best. MT. Judson did not like this amendment. It didn't agree with his notions of party loyalty, and he re- minded MT. Washburn that it was calcu- lated to disrupt the party. This aroused the fighting spirit in the venerable gentle man. He didn't consign the par ysR the place to which the late WiIliaB. IA Van derbilt told the people to go, but h. ssAAook his clenched fist in the direction of Mr. JGdson. There was ring in his voice and vehemence in his gesticulation that indicated his indifference to the fate of the G. o. F., when a question of principle was involved. In fact, those who heard the "grand old man eloquent" as some OI'a dubbed MT. Washburn, We're satisfied that the place to which he would throw party if it prevented his being first 8 pat riot, contained more sulphurOus matter than the regions which MT. Vanderbilt had in his mind when he expressed his uncomplimentary opinion of the public.
 No Stafford Springs directory has been issued since 1891. The publishers of the last seem to have abandoned the field, which is, in that case, open 10 some other publisher. There is call for new direc- tory.
 -Willimantic Chronicle: The many If Fofb T o;k~ be pleased to note his quick promotion to the head of this important church, and the people of Stafford Springs may be as- sured that they will acquire an able man, and a first class citizen.
 The legislature has decided that the station at West Willington must be called West Wilmington, rather than Holland, a misnomer that the railroad has persisted, with no apparant reason, in giving it. The Inisnaming has led to confusion and expen- sive blunders on the part of passengers. And why does the railroad company per sist also in calling the station at Stafford Springs after the name of another village and post office two miles away causing here also confusion and blundering, be- side making the necessity of giving to the village of Stafford the clumsy and not over pretty name of Furnace Hollow, to distinguish it from the village at the mis- named railroad station? The name of our post and express office is Stafford Springs. Stafford is the name of @ post office two miles away. It is easy to see where con- fusion and expense may be made to peo- pie who come to Stafford Springs, and di- rect that their mail or express be sent to Stafford, as they are very likely to do. It ought not to require acts of legislature to correct such palpable errors.

site side of the street I see all this. ladies and gentlemen, in the same drop of liquor.
 ''Yes, little more, the battered and degraded man, who was once bright faced school boy, is turned penniless upon the street. A patrol wagon drives away with two of his children; one living, the other bleeding from death wound. The headlines of morning paper stare him in the face. His wife, living under an as sumed name with another man, has com mitted suicide. The agent of the tene- ment clicks the cold steel of the door lock in his ear, holding everything he had in the world for back rent, and he is a beg gar on the street.
 the paroxysms of delirium tremens. Don't start back, laIlies and gentlemen, until I tell you the rest. There is an open grave in the pQtter's field. The bones of mo- body are jctSieti into it, and that, you say, is the end of the beautiful fair-faced boy, But no. Across the mystic chasm there arise shadows of dancing lurid flames and 1lendlsh visions with glaring eyeballs and poisoned darts to torment the last miser able victim of strong drink sent down to he'll"
 Some of the standers-by shuddered, some laughed coarsely, others looked pit iful. The microscopes had been selling like hot cakes. Was the man in earnest. and had he been rehearsing to us the pa thetic history of his own life, or was it a well-cOnned tale designed to enrich his coffers, and he only a clever play-actor :? His looks and dress fitted him well for the character he had described.
 Something drew me toward him. "NTv brother" l accosted him, after the last of the crowd had sauntered away, "I've no doubt your picture is true one in many many sad instances. But is there no hope that any one this side the grave may blot out It's terrible sequel. Human sympathy and the grace of God can do wonders" "
 He looked at me sharply II don't know what came over me-" he said, apologeti- cally. "I never told that tale before. What you said got me started. But it is true, it is true! God knows it is only too true !"
 "God knows,' 1 hastened to say, "that 1 want to join bands with you, that the unrealized portion of it may never come true. It need not; it must not be com pleted."
 A little more persuation induced him to dine with me, and succeeded in winning his confidence. To-day there is an agree able, popular, successful salesman in one of the large retail establishments down town, who, though prematurely old, and whose manly beauty is forever marrcd by early dissipation, yet fulfills far better the promise of the fair haired, blue eyed school-boy than the terrible fate which the street fakir pictured of himself from the drop of alcohol.

TOLD BY AN ASYLUM SUPERIN
 PENDENT.

"Move long, move right long! This ain't no place fer you; only childern's took in here"
 But want t see if they've heerd fm my boy, Lemme see the superintendent. 'n' ask i'm if they know enythin boutcn my boy"
 So the rough-mannered but kind-heart- ed "blue-coat" granted permission, and the ragged, decrepit creature was allowed to enter the office of an asylum for va grant, truant and unfortunate children in this city, where, because of poverty and her inability to control him, she had, tif- teen years before, placed her only son, a lad of fourteen years or whereabouts. Later, her consent had been gained to his being sent to home in the west, out of reach of the city's temptations, and where he would have chance to make man of himself
 But when she had told her neighbors what she had done, great hue and cry was raised. "He'H never be seen nor heerd i'm again." they said. "Mout jes ez well burrid Jim t wunst, 'n' dun w it."
 And they made her believe it. To these people at that timt-indeed, to some at the present time-"the west' was a great, unknown country, into which, if one en- tered, he was thenaeforth lost. It was to them the bourne from which no traveller ho Ior act, but the boy was gone past recall. She thought so, at least Under the p1 es- sure of finding food for herself, and trust ing he would never know hunger again. she gradually settled down into state of hOpelessness of ever again knowing aught of his condition.
 Years wore on. Years always do wear on, bringing added sorrows and added pains, till even those who are above the struggle for daily bIead come to the con- cluslOn that life is not worth the living and ask-SOmetimes seek-its ending What the years had been to this old crea- ture words were not needed to tell. The bent and wasted form, the sunken cheeks, the dropping lid, the shrivelled skin, and, more than all the leathery, distorted hands, with their swollen, knobby joints, revealed the tale. Hard work, hard beds if any-hunger, scanty clothing; asleep or awake a cold world, cold climato- these were her bedfellows.
 Finally came sickness, so the poor wo- man told the superintendent, and she went to live with a sister, only little less poverty-stricke than herself, save that there was man in the family, the sisters husband, and they did not actual ly suffer until he, too, fell ill. and then

Greens poems are read with much favor by a large class, and this recent work is attracting quite as much attention as did his widely sold work of fiction, 'John Peters" There is fervor in MT. Greens writings that thrills the reader. He evidently feels what he writes, and every word in his po- ems has meaning and use beyond the simple filling of the measure Hence he is tcrse and concise in expression.

 i'll the theme befits.
 To sing of Austerlitz;
 In vain to weep awhile
 By lone IIelenaS isle;
 If cold, to some, such theme
 For patriotic dream,
 In that the Corsican
 Fought not for fellow-man,
 But strOve alone for fame
 For his imperial name
 0 would some one as rod
 From an averaging God,
 Arise, who, sent by wrath
 Of Heaven, should cleave path Through Tyranny's domains To far Siberia's plains,-
 And break the prison bars
 Of victims of the czars
 The cause demands man
 Serener, grander than
 The dreaded Corsican ?
 May one with like strong hand And genius to command
 Arise some leader born
 Under the star of morn,
 Some one whose shining worth Shall win the best of earth
 To highest hope and prayer
 For Heavens especial care,
 And win good gallant men
 To join his flag, whose ken
 At once, from far, can see
 The day of victory
 The men with might to win
 The boon their faith had seen. And here is a short poem of different strain;
 AT DAY-BREAK.  At last along the eastern sky The glimmerings of morn, To end in radience of joy A night of doubt and scorn Dread night-it was winter long! And cold with winds of fate, That still, through all their fiendish song, Were hot with ire of hate And live with imps whose interludes Chimed with the airs, to tell The rancOr of internal feuds- Fit minstrelsy of he'll But now the birds with carols high Charm all doubts fiends away, And crimsons now the eastern sky, To hint coming day. That shall through all it's hours remain Unvexed by doubt and scorn, And in the full of noon retain The newness of the morn! A day whose evening shall proclaim That brighter dawning waits, Fulf1llment of the sunset flame, At the celestial gatesl
