The following original poem in the
University Magazine has called forth
many expressions of praise:

@ / am sick of what / am. of all
That / III life can ever hope to be;
Angels of light, be pitiful to me,
And build your white wings round me
like a wall;
Angels. save me from the thought OF

In days and years I have no plea

Disabled, stalled in habits deep-worn

My labor is a vain and empty strife,

When the vital tendons all are cut;

Only love can save me for loves sake.

And give my praise to whom 1t doth
belong,
For each good deed that seemeth out Of

An accidental step and nothing more;
Treasure for heavenly investment meant

To cheer the gloom, when that my

lion to the Nicaragua canal project.
After it was TOO late, we have awakened
to realization of the fact. But our
representations have always been met
ly the reply that we have acquiesced
in the British Interpretation of the docu-
ment. and that it is too late to read into
il new meaning. A candid examina-
tion of the history of the treaty convinces
the author that there is much truth in
this attitude The time has perhaps
come to abandon the game of bluff, and
throw ourselves upon the generosity of
Great Britain to induce her TO relnquiSh
vested rights which are of little value
to her, bur impede the progress of a
work of international Importance.

"Fioy, dear" said Mrs. Hayne, after a
moment of thought, ''I'm going to ask
you something"
The girl held up her white hand, and,
as though listening, said: "Wait"
They heard Randy in the hall below,
as he threw his cape over his shoulders
and FASTENED out, heard him go bound
ing down the steps, out through the
gateway, and then across the hard
gravel of the road. Then as his footballs
died away Mrs. Hayne knelt where he
had knelt the moment before.
"Floy, dear, it isn't possible you think
he cherishes any feeling except of pity
or contempt for-that woman? Inever
saw anything more perfect than his de-
votion to youths avoidance of her."
For answer, with sudden force the
young wife seemed to tear herself from
the touch of the friendly hand, the
sound of THE gentle voice, and, burying
her face in her arms, turning her back
upon her consider, moaned aloud. ooh,
Floy, Floy, my little friendl You must
not doubt him. Never distrust him
again. Whyl he will not even go near
her. He will not see her-speak with
her, and l never heard such love and
tenderness in his voice as when he
speaks 10 you"
Then, as though stung, Florence
whirled upon her, and, with dilated,
burning eyes, and hot flush over
spreading her face, with lips close set
as though to beat down the tremors
that strovc for the mastery, answered
with startling vehemence:
but havc--it's when he calls to her
talks to her in his slcep!"
Then Mrs. Hayne sprang up aghast
One moment she stood gazing incredu-
lousy down at Florence, q world of sor-
row and pity in her eyes. Then. with
her hand to her ear. cried "Hark!" and
fastened to the window.

LUDLOW Tribune, I

The St. Johnsbury Caledonian in
its last weeks issue alludes to the
portraits of Judge Powers, after
having been cured by Green's Ner-
vura and Paine's Celery Compound,
which have been extensively pub
lished in both the metropolitan and
country press. The Tribune begs
leave to contribute what may prove
a valuable suggestion, in view of the
Judges recent card in which he
promises to meet each and all of his
constituents face to face. Why
wouldn't it be much cheaper and
save him a great deal of valuable
time, trouble and travel to have in
serted in each paper in the First Dis
trict, until the convention, the four,
column portrait showing his condi-
ton LATTER taking?"
This would fulfil the spirit if not
the letter of his promise to his con.
stituency. 1t is surely good thing
and should be pushed along. 1t
would also help fill up the columns
of the Rutland Herald, so that it
would be unnecessary during that
period to run dead legal ads" as
filters"

This paper is quoted by the Hard.
wick Gazette as among those who
are supporting Gov. Page for the
congressional nomination for the
First district. We desireto say that
while we are among Mr.. Pages
warmest admirers, we are personally
of the opinion thai the delegates to
the convention should be perfectly
free to nominate the man they want,
and then we will go in and support
that man poutrance. Judge Pow
ers, Gov. Page, Mr.. Foster and Mr..
Peck, are all our personalfriends, and
either of them would make repre-
sentative of whom Vermont would
be proud. And then there is Batch
elder, who we do not know person
ally, and who can't be nominated
any way, but we have never heard
anything very bad even about him.
The fact is they are all good men,
but, if we are to Judge by the news
paper articles, there is no denying
the fact that that Gov. Page certain
ly seems to have the lead just at this
time, and if he should be nominated
and elected there is every reason to
believe that he would make just as
good Congressman as he did a
Governor.
One of the strongest arguments
advanced in favor of a changeis that
Judge Powers has held the Office for
so long a time that he ought to re-
tire in favor of some other candidate.
We think that Senator Morrill, was
kept in too long, good a man as he
was. 1t is un-American to keep any
man in office too long. Presidents

There are 26 papers in the First
District and, according to the Yer
gennes Vermonter, 16 have spoken
in favor of Gov. Page for Congress,
two for Judge Powers, two for Hon.
D. ]. Foster and the others are non
committal. Inasmuch as it is early
for paper to express preference for
a candidate, the fact that more than
half of those published in Gov. Pages
district are thus early advocating
his candidacy for Congress is an in
dication of strength and popularity
that gives his many supporters a
most cheerful view of the future.
They are supporting him on account
of his sterling worth, because they see
in him the man to fifty represent
their district and give it the prestige
in Congress it ought to have and
which for some years past it has not
had.
If the figures of the Vergennes Yer
monter are correct Gov. Page has
in field where there are four or five
candidates for the position, the sup
port of 16 papers, and Of the remain.
ing ten, six are as yet non-cOmmital
1t would not be surprising, Judging
from the friendly attitude of the en-.
tire state press for Gov Page, if he
received the support of some of those
six papers. Whether he does or not
it is easy to see that the newspaper
support given the other candidates
is very small compared with that
given Page. Vermont newspapers
are, as a rule, conservative. They
carefully consider mans qualifca
tons for the office before giving him
their support. They have consid.
cred the qualifications of the differ,
ent men who wish to represent the
First District in Congress and the
result is an almost unanimous ex
preston that Gov. Page is the mar
for the place.
Judge Powers card announcing
that he would have something tc
say when he got ready, has caused
varied comment. One thing sure, il
has not strengthened his position OF
won him any support from the state
press. He doubtless wishes he hac
continued to keep still. Silence il

keep within it's fortress and keep hi

Waterbury Record. I


To divert attention from his own
political industry, the order has ap-
parently gone forth from Morrisville
headquarters that the cry be raised
all along the line that Gov. Page
is precipitating an untinnely Con
gressional contest" To meas Ire
the full length and depth of the in
sincerity of this allegation, one only
need to consult the local columns of
the First District newspapers. They
bear testimony to the fact that since
Judge Powers return from Wash
ington last spring, he has visited all
the hooks and corners of the Dis
trict, some of them several times
over, and his more injudicious shout
ers have for at least three months
past proclaimed the fact (?) that this,
that and the other section of the dis
triet was solid for Powers"
The Judge has had practically
nothing else to do except to attend
to his fences, and his industry in this
line has been unsurpassed. We have
it from authority which we rega I'd
as reliable that he made a house-to-
house canvass by team in the town
of Wolcott only last week. How
does this look in the light of his cry
of precipitating a contest?
Because the newspapers are friend
ly to Gov. Pages candidacy-and
they comprise nearl y the entire state
press-have seen fit to express them
selves, the Judge rushes into print
and tells the public that their repre-
sentative has been attacked by
Gov. Page Meanwhile his friends
are doing their level best to divert
attention from his industrious fence
repairing by shouting that "Gov.
Page is precipitating the congress
sional campaign too early"
And yet Gov. Page is at home
seven days in the week attending to
his legitimate business.

in excuse of it is that our courts
