iteaiixntion Of Goldsmith. Deserted
Village.
iFr0m the SDFippfal6 p~a,ukI:.u

liIhSe.
From the Springfield Republican
Something like a mile beyond Sad
awga stands what was once the con
siderably important village of ..tbe
middle OF the town of Wbitinpham.
Haif a century ago it boasted an acad-
emy,a %church,a tavern, and some mar
ket facliities for the farmers who came
there from miles around to dew their
tradln.' ln the belfry of its educa-
tional institution hung the only bell
known for many miles and each eve
ming, the year around, at 8 o'clock, its
solemn note of warning could be heard
through the adjoining towns proclaim
ing that, in accordance with estab-
llshed usage, the hour of.'bedtime',
had arrived.
The village was on about the highest
land of the regien round about; II was
bleak and cold during the long. in
clement winters. Gradually its pres-
tige was lost. To-day it stands an EN-
bodiment of Goldsmith's Desert
ed Village or any other scene of act
uai desertion, not having, perhaps, it's
full parallel in all the New England
states beside. The old academy still
stands, brown and weather beaten. it's
windows without glass or sash its
surroundings oyergrown with weeds
and grass, its little belfry still pointing
upward, but silently, So silently that
the heart turns to the neighboring
graveyard almost with a feeling Of
consolation. Abandoned buildings line
the grassgrown street: but in all the
compass of the village, on the occa-
sion of a recent visit. but a single
house was occupied, and that might
have been passed and repassed m any
times without catching a glimpse of
the people who lived there. 1t is a
positive relief to ride rapidly down the
hill toward Deertield valley once
more, and catch sight of the simmer
ing waters of Sadawga pond, and of
the bright cottages forming the village
to which the pond has given its name.

The utility of the X ray in surgery
is being demonstrated almost daily.
The London Daily News cites the case
of a son of Gen. Maurice, a subaltern
home from India on leave. who was
thrown from his horse while hunting
and injured his arm. The ID iureG limb
was SO swollen that accurate diagnosis
was impossible, but by the help of the
Roentgen photography it was demon
strated that there was only a simple
disIocation, instead of the dreaded
compound fracture. Gen. Maurice is
DOW warmly advocating the equipment
of every hospital with the Roentgen
apparatus.

A LITTLE PINK SHOE.

Only a little pink Oaby shoe
That is stained and wrinkled and torn,
With a tiny hole where the little pink toe
Peeped out in the days that are gone.
The little pink toe was the ''biR little pig"
That to market so often would go,
And over and over the legend was told
As I kissed the little pink toe.
s.Piggie some more" the red lips would lisp,
And the story and kiss were given
Again and again. so happy were we
In motherhood's foretaste of heaven.
But there came a night, with desolate blight.
When death bore my idol away,
And no little Toe ever peeps from the shoe
To be kissed in the sweet old way
But nv tears have delugcu the little PINK snoe
And stained 1t a deeper stain,
And + long for the touch that would chill me In
death
II gave me my darling again.
50. when I am dead. lay the little nink shoe
Near nv heart that Is silent and cold.
And perhaps mp above. in the sunlight oil ioNe
I shall kiss the pink toes a. of old.
