Their melody foretells.
How they tinKle, tinkle, tinkle,
Everywhere by day and night,
While the paths they oversprinkle
And the cops eyes seem to twinkle
With devilish delight!

Swells and swells

Old. Yonng People.


 People age quickly in this American life, and instances of preservation of youthful strength and vigor in mature years are pointed to as remarkable. We are educated to believe in early decay of physical beauty and strength, especially in our women, and permit the decline to continue with passing sigh. Most wom- en have worn look in the early twenties, the figure loses its roundness, the face the glow of youth, and from that time on they age rapidly. All this is wrong and unnecessary. Let everybody to whom this word may come, men and women alike, consult Dr. Greene, and learn from his great experience the cause of your trouble, and secure his invaluable advice. Dr. Greene. discoyerer of the famous Nervura, and many other wonderful rem- edies, invites consultation at his office, 35 West 14th Street, New York City, either by personal call or by letter through the mail, and in either case he will give you advice absolutely free of all charge. This offer is for everybody, old and young, rich and poor, and thousands of happy people testify to-day to the practical na- ture of the experienced advice of this great specialist and the marvellous cura. tive power of his remedies. Don't be satisfied to grow old prematurely when the advice of this famous physician is at your disposal for the asking, wholly free of charge. ..

 CT Genesis sEsaafld well known to the E early FChrfstian , fathers tells a wonder fuT incident Tn theslffe Of Seth. the third son Of Adam and Eve When the goodly Seth was about 40 years of age, he was ''rap6" up into heaven by a trio of ain
 gels and there told and shown what was in store for nankind. Among other things thesooming of the great deluge was made known to him, as was also the coming of the Saviour. When he re-
 turneda to7 earth, Seth told his parents what had happened and of what he had seen and: heard concerning the future of the ehunah race And Adam was much gffieved when it was made known to him that the world would be de- stroyed Fby water@ on account of the wickedness of Bis own children, but a great peace and Icalmness came over him when Seth told how the, face of the
 earth would again be repeopled. "1#
 His joy was exceedingly great when Seth related what was in store in the coming ages, and he was particularly glad to know that redemption should finally come through Jesus, the Christ. '

 Charles Smith has opened meat market at Staffordville.
 Albert Washburn has sold his refresh ment saloon at Staffordville, to B. Col burn.
 The meeting held Friday last, to see if the town would accept the petitioners proposition for building the proposed road east, and save the expense of trial before the commissioners, proved fail- ure, notwithstanding the call for the meeting was approved by nearly all the business men, and principal taxpayers up the valley to Staffordville. Lt.Gov. Hyde was moderator. G. M Ives explained the object of the meeting that it was not got up by the petitioners but by some of our heavest taxpayers, and who thought the best way was to accept the offer pro- posed, and build the road. The petition CTS made two propositions: First stating what each would do, over whose land the road was to pass, comprising about 120 rods of the first part of the road, equiva- lent at $4 rod to giving $485, besides the land and fencing. Second-the peti- tioners will pay all the road will cost over $1200 The first proposition is by many considered equal to building the road for one thousand dollars or less. But the special efforts put forth by the opponents of the road were too much, and it was soon evident from the feeling manifested that no proposition wouldb be accepted. In fact men were heard to say that if the the town, they would vote not to accept it.
 The commissioners appointed at the last term of court for adjudging the con, tested new road are now in session at the Springs House. The case is managed for the town by Messrs Lippitt of Nor. wich and Bill of Rockville and for the petitioners by Messrs West and Fairfield of Stafford. It is likely to be severa days before the evidence is all in, ano probably the whole of next week will be occupied by the hearing. The com missioners have viewed the route of the new road, and have been over the other roads leading in the same direction, and they have seen for themselves convincing proof of the justice of the petition.

The fourth assistant postmaster general in his annual report recommends the making of special stamped envelope of strong material to hold the registered matter sent through the mails, as great CT protection against less. This will make meddling with letters more difficult and. to; a degree restrain clerks who may be tempted to tamper with them. The idea is of sufficient merit to commend it. self. 7. @ a>.... ..t. .....s.
 He also urges severer penalty to be provided for employees found guilty of em- bezzling or destroying newspaper mail. There Is scarcely publisher in tho coun- try who has not suffered more or less from the carelessness, criminal or other wise, of postoflce agents in the handling of newspapers going through the mall. There is not publisher, therefore, who will not subscribe to this recommendation.
 As an aid to bringing dishonest postal clerks to trial and conviction he asks con- gress to make the offenses of clerks con- tinuous, so that 1t, will not be necessary to allege in what state or county crime was committed, which 1t is always dif1- cult to fix and prove, but simply to allege on what run the offense was perpetrated.
 He.thinks that postage stamps should be used less as a medium of exchange and urges congress to in some way restrict their use as currency.
 He also asks to have included in the continuous offense-list the sending of green goods" and obscene matter through the mails.s f...' tt~
 5 These recommendations show that the fourth assistant postmaster general is ca. pablo of making Improvements for the good of the4sserHice, and 1t is likely that congress will so far as possible favor the changes. ,.-----~.

A Woman MatadOre at Cordova.

Now comes the denouement, for upon a final flourish of trumpets the matadore, who in this particular performance was a woman, steps forth with a brighter red flag or cloak on staff in her left hand and a good Toledan blade in her right, hidden beneath theTight edge of the red flag. The bull makes a dash fol the woman.
