THEY WANT TO TELL
These Grateful Women Who Have
Been Helped by Mrs. Pinkham.

Women who have suffered severely
and been relieved of their ills by Mrs.
Pinkham's advice and medicine are
constantly urging publication of their
statements for the benefit of other wo-
men. Here are two such letters:
Mrs. LIZZIE BEVERLY, 25S Merrimac
ST., Lowell, Mass, writes:
{" 1t affords me great pleasure to tell
all suffering women of the benefit have
received from taking Lydia e. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound. Icanhard-
ly find words toexpressmy gratitude for

table Compound, also used the Sanative

medicine saved my life, and I would
recommend it to all suffering women"
Mrs. AMOS TRoMBLEAY, Ellen burgh
Ctr, N. Y. writes:

taken only half a bottle before ! was

The Home of Mrs. S. J. Stevens.

To THE EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL: 1t
was to the writer pleasant occasion
when one day in the late fall after sue
ceeding in securely bundling together
shelf, there to remain until his return,
that he took a drive among once familiar
scenes at North Troy, and exchanged
greetings with friends and old acquant-
ances in that vicinity. The morning
selected for the outing, although late in
the season, made fair promises which
promises the day fulfilled satisfactorily.
One of the most pleasant events of the
day was call upon Mr.. and Mrs. Angus
tus Stevens at their pleasant home,
the latter, Mrs. S. j. Stevens, widely
known for her poetical ard other literary
work. The occasion suggested to the
writer that mention of that lady, and a
description, through brief and imperfect,
of her home and surroundings might in
terest some of your many readers. Stran.
gers who may travel on the Bangor and
Waterville road-particularly in the sum
mer season-toward the west may recog-
nize the locality described.
On leaving Troy Centre one passes
over gradual cent for short distance,
then along a smooth, gently undulating
road, past pleasant farm scenery. Shortly
at the right appears the ancestral home of
the Stevens, from which the road falls off a
short distance to find lower level and
stretches along the sunny side of a little
tract of forest But to return to the
place Just mentioned. The bright, sunny
aspect presented by the farm house and
it's surroundings are indicative of thrift
and contentment. Mr.. Stevens, who has
long been one of the prominent men in
the town, represents the third generation
who have lived continuously on the fine
old farm. His grandfather, Mr.. Samuel
Mrs. Stevens, who has the supervisor
of the domestic atfairs,i an active unnas-
suming lady with whom time has dealt
kindly. She has a CHEEKY voice and
pleasant, expressive face. At the time
mentioned Mr.. and Mrs. Stevens were en-
joying the society of their only daughter
young lady of culture. Two sons are
well known physicians in Belfast and
Stockton Springs. Mrs. Stevens is in
terested in the various movements of the
day tending to the elevation of humanity,
and is enthusiastic in literary work.
One could not fail to be interested with
even hurried glance at the collective
productions of her pen. Occasionally
poem has local origin. A short dis
lance east from her home stands vacant
house, the windows of which seem to be
sadly peering through the trees. We
were told that as the windows we're i'll
animated one evening by the rays of the
st tting sun, the scene as viewed by Mrs
Stevens from her veranda inspired the
pennipg of that touching and pathetic
poem, The Deserted House"
Mrs. Stevens receives many tlatteIing
compliments from literary people, which
she highly appreciates, though with no
perceptible signs of vanity

MUSIC.
"ERO T. LEANDRO."

signor Mancinellrs "Ero Leandro' was per-
formed at the Metropolitan Opera House last night.
The opera treats Of n familiar topic and amiabe
II does not appeal 10 the careless a subject
for dramatic treatment. because. ~ the careless
think. there IS very little action IN a story which
tells how young swims across the Helles-
pont to see his sweetheart and is drowned In his
effort 10 get back home Yet that s practically all
of the familiar story that is heard Of In signor
Marcnenrs opera and that is told in the last act.
signor ManclnelH however is only the last Of
number Of composers who have yielded to the am
bltion 10 sing the love and the fate OF the strong
swimmer and his love and It must be set down
as admirable how the writer Of the book-no less
a man than signor Bolto-has succeeded in group
ing number Of scenes around the familiar Incl
don't and how sgnor MarclneH has extended the
unessentials and sweetenod them with music TIL
tho sequence of meetings and talkngs actually
takes on the semblance of drama. But this Is the
province and the power OF music in tho case Of
stories which come from. and therefore 20 70. the
human heart-stories which deal with the musical
passion without conventional alloy. We DO not
purpose TO discuss the opera now. It ia worthy of
careful consideration for It's text well as Its
music and that consideration may he postponed.
II is proper however. 10 state that the opera was
heard with something than nero respect.
that IL was sung with genuine enthusiasm hy Nine.
Eames NJ Saleza and VI. Pancon as the principals.
that II presented charming series Of pictures 70
tho eve and that tho composer. who conducted II.
was made to understand by sincere applause that
his work was appreciated highly hy an audience
much more numerous I'm the subscription places
than in the open for general purchase As for
the rest II may wait.
