And now they say that Buffum
pond has been fenced in, a hotel
built back Of the big rock and a drive
way around it's shores. And now
Fourth OF July brass band, attend.
ed by a noisy crowd, is to occupy its
surroundings. And yet only one year
ago l camped for weeks in bark
shanty upon its shores with none OF
the desecrating marks Of civilization
within miles of me. What a pity that
this one little spot-the only one in
southern Vermont-could not have
been left as God and Nature made it.
For thirty years it has been more of
home to me than any other spot on
this green earth, more of true sane
tuary than any rooted temple man has
or can make. Here, away from the
petty strife, the envyings, the jealous
les, the hatreds of life--nothing but
calm, pure delight here, that kind of
delight that causes both the soul and
the body to expand into true and full
growth. No struggling here to see
who will get the better of the other in
some petty trade-all kindness and
good will.
Farewell Buffum ! No "Griflith"
will ever be attached to thy name in
my memory. | would that thy fate
could have been delayed until we to-
gether could have passed from exis-
tence. How often with my heavy
pack upon my back l have toiled
through the painless woods for miles,
over mountains and through the tang,
led swamps, satisfied with the heavy
tramp when l could lay my pack down
upon your shore and wiping the sweat
from my brow gaze once more upon
your smiling, still peaceful nature
And the music, the true music of youl
voice, heard in the hush of evening,
in the stiffness of the brooding night
is now gone gone forever, supplant'
ed by brass band ! Curse it
When the Creator cuts the brittle
thread of my life, the last thought
that will sweep across my mind will
be of Buffum pond. And my prayer
and belief is that in Heaven there
will be for me just such a sheet OF
water, surrounded by the old, old for
est that has stood for centuries just
as it thus stands.
Neither Maine OF the Adirondack
wilderness can produce more lovely
sheet of water than aUdS Buffum pond
1t has been the strongest tie that has
held me in this rocky region for thirty
years. But now with the corrupting
touch of man, all its charms fades
once again good bye. IL.

and the other of Irving. Irving, she says, at

she had a glimpse while calling with her hus-

they were in the parlor they saw tall. slim
man come down the stairs, and Mrs. Hawthorne
called out: Husband. husband! DR.. Howe
and Mrs. Howe are here.'' Hawthorne bolted
across the hall and out through the door with

The Rise of a Boy.

This boy goes to business, and at his business
begins by simply doing the things he is told to
do. and doing them in common ordinary way.
If he stops here, he remains all his life long
drudge. But if he begins to see that business
has significance; that his life is not merely
sweeping the store, not merely writing letters,
not merely selling goods; if he begins to see the
higher life involved in business; if he begins to
see that business is a greater instrument OF
benefcence; that trade is clothing thousands OF
men where charity clothes ten; that agricultural
and milling industries are feeding thousands OF
men where charity feeds ten if he begins to see
how the whole history of the world is linked
together, and is Gods way of building up
humanity and serving humanity-aS he gets his
larger view and enters into it, life is enriched
and becomes itself the minister whereby love is
enlarged and conscience is strengthened, the
school wherein he is educated out OF the lower
into higher life. He has now risen or Is rising
| from that which is mortal into that which is
immortal and eternal.-Dr Lyman Abbot

The Best Parrot Yarn Yet.

man whose niece had coaXed him to buy
her a parrot succeeded in getting bird that
was warranted a good talker. He brought 1t
home, and. after putting it in cage, stood be-
fore it and said: "Say uncle, POlly!" The bird
did not respond, and after repeating the
sentence dozen times or more with no better
success, the uncle put his hand into the cage,
and, grabbing the bird by the neck, shock him
until his head wabbled around, all the time
yelling to him: "Say uncle, COLL darn you, say
uncle!" The bird looked limp and lifeless, and,
disguised with his purchase, the old fellow took
the parrot out into the yard where he had
coop of thirty chickens. Thrusting the nall
dead bird III with the chickens he exclaimed:
There, by gosh! You'll say uncle before you
get out" Next morning the uncle went out to
see how the parrot was getting on. Looking
into the coop he counted Twenty-Five dead
chickens, and in the center of the coop stood the
parrot on one foot, holding the thirtieth chicken
by the neck and shaking it till its head wobbed
and screaming: "say uncle, COLL darn you, say
uncle!"-Ex,

Lucky for the Prisoners.

Perhaps the oldest thing in prison methods
in the always novel west is the treatment of in
mates of the county jail at Cathlamet. Ore.
Three times day, every day in the week, they
are taken out of Jail and escorted to the dining
room of one of the several restaurants and
hotels in town, and there they take their meals
in more comfort and ease than many of the peO-
pie who have to work for the privilege of eating.
The keepers of the restaurants and hotels re-
fused to make bids for furnishing food to the
Jail. and this picnic for the prisoners is the
