The Boston Specialist

will be in Bellows Falls, at Towns Hotel
one day only, Wednesday, Aug. "a.
The marvellous cures made BY this won.
derful Physician and healer have attracted
the attention of thousands OF peop4e il
every walk of life, and have given to the
sick and suffering new life and hope. The
immense amount of work do-e in the
State of Vermont alone during the past
season and the stories of wonderful cures
told by his patients and heard on every
side are evidence of the great success he
has met with DR.. Barbrick in speaking OF
his system of treatment says:-
''By method original with me and pc
culiarly my own, | treat all forms OF
chronic, ong-standing, obscure and diff
cult diseases, and have successfully treated
cases in which others have failed and
cured cases that have been given UP as in
curable by other specialists and reputable
physicians. This method consists of a
systematic application of the true ele-
ments of Psyche Neuric healing in COM
bination with the Rational Methods OF
Medicine and Surgery as practiced by me
and which | claim to be the true and
natural manner of applying the healing art
In my use of this mode of treatment and
the application of it to this class of dis
eases claim originality, and although my
success has lead to crude limitations / be-
ieve that today | am the only regularly
educated Physician and Surgeon in the
world using these methods in their entirety
This treatment is at once scientific, SEN
sible and progressive; safe in its applrca-
ton and positive in its results.
The many patients of the Doctor in
Bellows Fails and vicinity will be pleased
to know of his visit as it will give them
and Others wishing to see him an oppor-
tunity to do so near their own homes thus
avoiding the expence and loss of time a

How LeadviIIe Judge DOdged to
Make Votes.
Twenty years ago Powers was an en-
CINE wiper in the shops at Burnham.
But, losing an arm in a railroad wreck,
he was obliged to use his head more and
his limbs less in the business of MAX
ing a living for himself and little fam
lily. Drifting into Leadville with the
first tide of fortune hunters, Powers re-
manned there as long as he could con-
sistently and until the sheriff took him
down to Canyon City to live perma-
nently, that being considered health
Ter climate for a. man of his tempera-
ment Che had shot and killed his son-in-
law, Pat Kennedy, in a friendly go-as
you-please with Colts revolvers). But
Powers was not nearly so vicious as he
looked, and during all of the years that
l knew him he had never once killed a
mana pretty good record for that
vicinity. He was always a potent po-
litical factor, and filled various posi-
tons of honor and responsibility, from
justice of the peace up to policeman
and ianitor of the courthouse dsuper-
intendent of the chain gang. While
dealing out justice in the old city JAIL
Missourian was brought before him
for a preliminary hearing upon the
charge of horse stealing. That was
ranked as capital offense in Leadville
in those days, punishable with death.
But the culprit was from Joplin, and
| had many friends in the camp, albeit
the court was crowded with them, all
determined, as every true Missourian
is, to see justice done. In the midst of
the proceedings a stentorian voice was
heard in the rear of the room, shouting:
Il move, your honor. that the pris-
Oner be discharged"
That was all Powers wanted. To con-
vict the Missourian would have been
fatal to his hopes of reelection, and

Have these mysteries any relation
to, or any connection with, the sealed
cellar?" Sonntag finally said.
THE woman said nothing about the
strange events being located in any par
ticular place, and 1 did not think to ask
her." 1 replied. The old lawyers ques-
ton opened up new train of thought.
Could it be possible that the strange
voice l had heard proceeded from the
sealed cellar?
"Ah! 1 suppose the women are SUI
perstitious and think the place is
haunted. Such ideas generally get
abroad about old, long vacated houses.
But you do not mind their talk?
You are not afraid of ghosts, are you?''
The old fellows eyes twinkled merrily.

of those shadowy beings. L could tell

talk alone could brighten me" replied,
somewhat shamefacedly, remembering
how nearly 1 had been unnerved the
night before by my own reflection.

and will see if anything can be done re-
garding the mysterious cellar" Mr.
Sonntag said, as L rose to leave. 'And

Across an apple ripe, from out your store
Cut a thin transverse slice, through grain
and core,
Not quartering or ranging with the stem.
There, in the center, an artistic gem.
Safe in that casket, guarded and concealed.
Held to the light, is unto you revealed:
Perfect In outline, though long hid in
gloom,
Is limned a perfect, shapely apple bloom.
The spirit Of the blossom, from the past
Preserved within the apples heart to last.
A seal and symbol, though thus yelled and
mute
That blooms are really souls of ripened
fruit.
That blossom once made fragrant far and
WIDE
Like scented snow. but who thought it
would hide
Within this body as a secret shrine,
Perfect in form and in ghost-like outline
Proof of the all-Emportant, gladstone truth
That old age may possess the heart of
youth.
Men missed its youthful presence, thought
it dead,
Watched for its disappearance with vague
dread,
Long missed its beauty, thought its petals
gone,
Yet here, like some yelled nun, the flower
lived on,
It's fragrance sealed, it's beauteous petals
Hurled,
Retiring Hor a season from the world.
But all the while the body round it draped,
Was by Gods law of beauty deftly shaped,
And all the rosy-cheeked, prosaic whole
Was thus perfected by f1ower-like soul;
Sealed in it's casket, of it's life part,
Printing blossom on it's inmost heart
Thus sleeps the music in the silent lutte,
Thus lives the blossom in the ripened fruit,
Thus may the human thought and human
tongue,
Take beauteous form from thoughts for
ever young;
Gray hairs and furrowed face its outward
part,
But blooms of childhood in it's inmost heart

CHAPTER VIII.

When L again passed the depot at
Sidington on my way home, there was
a lady on horseback talking to the
agent.
1t needed no second glance to tell me
it was Florence Morley. Her face was
turned toward the fellow, and so she
did not see me. 1 drove along slowly,
keeping my eyes upon her, and debat-
ing in my mind whether should stop
and address her or not.
1t was a strong temptation, and only
fear held me back, cowardly fear too.
doubted how my overtures might be
received. 1 had chosen my course of
my own accord and would follow it..
If it was contrary to her wish she
would find way to tell me.
After passing the station 1 allowed
my horse to continue at a walk, so that

I hope" 1 said. 'I have beer told he
strongly objected to my arrest. And
1 know whose influence caused him to
do So"
''Not mine, really" Florence earnest
ly replied. Father believed you were
innocent, and took the stand he did
for that reason. 1 did not know about
the robbery until after the first meet
ing of the trustees. 1t was at that
meeting that he opposed your arrest.
1 remember he felt quite triumphant
afterward, for most of the trustees in
sisted upon your immediate arrest, and
it was only after father said that he
would never consent to it that they gave
up the point"
"Now that is pleasant to hear" L
cried, joyfully. What reason have you
to think he has changed his views re-
garding the prOmise?"
This morning, after we had passed
you, 1 said: That looked like Nelson
Conway Father laughed at me, and
answered that it must have been an
hallucination produced by constantly
Ou"
1t is impossible to describe the fasci-
nation of Florence's manner when she
told me this-how maidenly bashful-
ness blended with loves boldness, how
the bushes dyed her smooth cheek,
while her eyes shone with a confident,
happy light.
''Then at lunch this noon father
asked me if II liked you as much as
ever. Liked was not the word he
used, but never mind, We'll use it now
'And what did you answer?' I asked,
eagerly and expectantly.
''That not a day went by that did
not think of you. And oh, Nelson" she
continued, her voice deep and full in it's
earnestness, that was not half the
truth. Why should 1 hesitate to con-
fess it to you, my dear friend?"
Here 1 made use of my disengaged
arm I could not help it. 1 drew her
closely to me and kissed her blooming
cheek.
81 certainly shall not go on if am in
terrupted," Florence said, in gentle re-
mOnstrance.
What did your father say in an
swer?" I finally asked.
''He said he thought perhaps it was
unjust to both of us to insist on your
keeping the promise"
"Did he say that?" exclaimed. ''Then
Florence but really it is enough to say
that the dear girl promised to be my
wife, even though the suspicion should
not be removed from me, providing Mr.
Morley's consent could be gained; and
| she moreover promised to do all she
| could to help me gain his consent.

At an assize court the late Justice
Maule was engaged in passing SEN

officers of the court annoyed him by
crossing the gangway beneath him
with papers for members of the bar.
Don't you know" cried the judge, Sc
verely addressing the official culprit,
that you ought never to pass between
two gentlemen when one of them is
addressing the other?" Having thus
relieved his mind, the judge proceeded
to pass sentence of seven years penal
servitude on the other gentleman
