o Dolly with thy eyes Of blue,
And cheeks as red as roses,
With lips that steal the cherry's hue
And breath as sweet as posies!
o Dolly, tripping on thy way
Midst natures fairest scenery,
What is this rumor, say, oh! say!
OF milking by machinery?
No more, tbs said, with STOOL and pail
Art thou to gayly sally,
No more to dance it down the dale,
Or loiter in the vail y;
No more art thou. thy well-shaped ear
'Gainst dappled CowsIip leaning,
To dart at Strephon, standing near,
A glance of saucy meaning;
For grim invention sentiments
Most pertinacious snubber-
Has shaped thing of wire and string,
And tape and indiarubber;
Has, out of brass, and zinc, and glass,
And webbing soft as silk, made
An apparatus meant henceforth
To play the part of milkmaid!
So, Dolly, thou to Fate must bow,
And our regret grows keener
AS thy poetic figure joins
The thresher and the cleaner.

And bards in sorrow mutter-
There's nothing now idyllic left
Connected with our butter"

winter of 1885, resulted, during the trst
days of the following February, In me
most wonderful find which the Aeropo-
lis had yet yielded. The space between
the Erechtheion and the northern wall
was now attacked. Here, at depth 81
twelve to fourteen feet below the sur
face. fourteen female statues in marple
were found lying PROSTATE, OF wh.sh
eight were in an almost perfect condi-
ton. Traces of fire were noticeable oh
most of them, but all were marked p9
vivid coloring, the eyes, hair, fac! me

WORCESTERSHIRE TRIPLES.
Carelessness Many Women Show IN
Petty Money Matters

Women complain that men consider
them unbusinesslike. But DO not the
women call forth this criticism by their
carelessness in petty money matters
Who would not resent the imputatioh
that sh4 is ever dishonest? Certainly
none of us are intentionally SO, but
many good people are criminally care
less with regard to returning borrowed
money. Large sums could not be TOR
gotten, but it is so easy TO neglect me
borrowed dime or quarter. Women are
mnch more negligent in these small
matter than are men. 1t may be be-
cause they have not been educated To
keen strict account of where each
penny comes from and where II goes.
Two women take a short trip by rail-
together. Tie fare is 80 cents, one
takes out dollar bill and says to her
companion: II have the exact change
and will pay for the tickets. You can
hand me your share afterward, In the
events OF the day the circumstance IS
forgotten, and days go by and the half
dollar il not returned The lender
would scorn to speak of the affair, ana
1t has entirely slipped her friend 5

half-pound of candy. 1t will save time
and confusion, and | have no small
change. will settle with you when
we reach home Mary carefully pays
the amount; and her unbusiuesslike
friend never thinks Of the 20 cents
again. This is also the woman who
will write a business letter to an ae-
quaintance requesting an answer by re-
turn mail, and will never think of in
closing a stamp with reply. She vir-
tually asks her correspondent TO give
her not only the time and the work re-
CURED TO write the letter, but also to
make her present of cents.
These seem little things, but It Is
such trifes that win for women the UNI
enviable reputation o. carelessness in
business affairs. -Harper's Bazaar.

Shallow Cultivation for Corn.
Nearly all authorities now aprs
that only shallow cultivation shoula D

dry time that is pretty sure to cont

When farmers raise colts they usu

colts in stables. These have usual!

much because they are usually shod

This precaution will add much TO tn
value of the colt when it comes t

Weeds in the Hill.

Even when narrowing corn over theI
surface is done there VIII be occasional
weeds that will escape, and by two OIL
three repetitions of the narrowing theyl
will be we'll rooted. Scle of these will
be in the hill, where tine cultiyator RUM
through the lows both ways cannot|
reach them. In orr opinion it pays tol
stop the cultivator wherever SUCH
weeds are cen and pull them out. II
is true the corn may grow nearly as|
well. but the weed in the hill will ex-
tend it's roots 70 the middle OF the row
and all the plant fool il gets will bel
wasted. Had labot with corn has
gone out of fashion, bur it pays to dol
some hand labor efte" the cultivatorI
has done all it can.
From Calf to Cow.
Quite as many calves are spoiled for
dairy purposes by overlooking as by
being fed too little; foe If the calf is
left too fieshy It acquires a tendency to
continue so. 1t should be fed on new
milk alone Tor two Of three weeks,
when SKINNED milk sh )uld be warmed
to about 90 degrees and should always
be fed from a clean PAIL. Winter
calves should be kept warm and dry
and should be given little fine hay as
soon as they will take il, or at about
four weeks of age. They may have
ground oats or wheat in limited guam
tiuies, always to be I'D dry. Calves
should be weaned frcm mix soon after
they are four weeks cid No grain
should be fed after the he fers are vel
started, unless their pasturage or hay
supply is of inferior quality. when u
may be supplemented with bran or oat'
meal. Maryland Farmer

Thanksgiving Football.

The game on Kings field between the
Vermont Academy and Claremont teams
was attended by nearly 800 people Thurs
day morning. 1t was good exhibition of
the sport and the score was close enough to
keep the spectators keenly interested.
Neither side scored in the first half, but in
the second Fiske and Whittemore by pretty
runs nearly half the length of the field
made two touchdowns for Vermont Acad-
envy, from one of which goal was kicked,
making the final score 10 to 0.
Vermont Academy did fine team work,
while all the Roadway that Claremont made
was by individual plays. Healey was
whole team in himself, but his playing was
miserably supported. The Bellows Falls
boys, Whitney, Bissell and Cray, who
played with Claremopt, played the game
for all there was in it. "A
Bert Truax was referee, DIR. Ellery Of
Saxtons River umpire, and Lieut. Foote

The following from the Springfield Re
publican of Sunday will be interesting to
friends in this vicinity:
There was pretty wedding in Grace
Episcopal church Saturday at high noon,
when Miss Georgia Thomas, youngest
daughter of George A. Thomas, and Joseph
NJ. Wolfe of Saxtons River, were married
The ceremony was performed by Rev.
David Sprague, rector OF Grace church,
and the bride was given away by her
father. A ring was used. The maid of
honor was Miss Mary NJ Thomas of New
York city, sister of the bride. The ushers
were John NJ Couch and Chauncey r..
Thomas of Amherst. Mrs. Nellie S. Rob
erts played the wedding march as the bridal
party entered the church. The Daughters
of the King, of which the bride was a mem
Der, had decorated the church with flowers
and plants. The bride was attired in her
travelling gown. After the ceremony a
wedding lunch was served at Mr.. Thomas
house on Hallock street, and the bridal
couple left on the afternoon train for a
wedding trip. They will make their home
in Saxtons River, where Mr.. Wolfe is pro-
lessor OF mathematics in Vermont Academy
They were the recipients of many choice
presents.

Thanksgiving Sermon.

At the union Thanksgiving service in
the Methodist church Thursday evening,
Rev. Ellsworth Fullerton preached the fol-
lowing able and timely sermon from the
text. Psalm XXXIX II, " The Lord will
give strength unto his people. The Lord
will bless his people with peace":
..Our sermon to-day will be an answer
to those who are in haste to despair of our
republic. During our times of political
agitation we hear many such fears
expressed that our republic may be sub
verted and our nation cease to have free
government. These forebodings come par
ticularly from readers of history who tell
us that the Roman republic was over
thrown. Let us compare the condition OF
our republic to day with that Of Rome in
the generation when Julius Caesar destroyed
the liberties of Rome and see if the danger
is great.
Power was localized in Rome. A revo-
luton successful at Rome had conquered
the world. We have no one overpower-
ing city. Dangerous as one city is to the
republic, two are only half as dangerous.
Chicago balances New York city, New
Orleans balances Boston. The vastness OF
our territory spreads and weakens many
dangers.
In Rome the power was so COM
pacted that it could be easily seized
The senators inherited their seats like
members of the house of Lords in
England. The knights, men worth 800
O00, could be easily dominated by the
army The only voting place for the peo
pie was in the Roman forum. Our series
of checks-town meetings, counties, states
executive, judicial and Legislative depart
ments-are strong defense
The Roman army was enlisted and paiG
by the general. 1t swore allegiance to
him personally, was his property. Oul
army is subject to civil authority.
Rome was a city of slaves. The slaves
vastly outnumbered the freemen. They
took the work from the common people
In the place of the Roman slaves we have
sturdy yeomanry, Industrious, thrifty
law-abiding, self-respecting. The corner
stone of our republic is man who has
paid all but $500 on little home worth
$500.
Ideals are the seeds of nations evolu-
ton. The ideals Of Roman thought are
seen in their mast brilliant pageant, the
military triumph. Our ideals are CONNER
cial prosperity, scientific discovery, literary
genius, usefulness.
The Roman foreign population was Of
the lowest heather. Ours comes from
Christian nations.
The Romans had no home life and home
virtues. We are nation of homes.
Rome's religion was debasing. We live
under the influence Of the Goldman and
Savior.
With such fundamental superiorities tc
the old Roman life we may hope and
believe our national institutions are more
secure
