"Come, my prisoner!"
AS we passed out I kept between
Claude and the grim figure still lying
stark on the landing, and held her to
me, so that she could not see. So with
Lisois before us we passed down the
passage, filled now with men-at-arms,
and halted before a room, the door of
which was closed.
Then the door was flung open and a
stream of light poured forth. We en-
tered and saw the king standing sur
rounded by his friends. and a little on
one side was the detected group of
conspirators.
The marshal, now abject. mean and
cringing, was kneeling before Henry,
who raised him as we entered, saying:
'Biron, and you, Tremouille, and you
all who called yourselves my friends,
and lay in wait to destroy me, and
destroy your country, 1 cannot forget
that we were old comrades, and for
old friendships sake 1 have already
told you that I forgive, and God give
you all as clean a conscience as have

1t is all over at last, that golden sum-

but day. 1t is ten years ago that those
shining eyes that never met mine but

that did he take back.

WHEN WE BEGAN.
1t Was Not Until the Eighteenth Cen,
fury That People Appreciated
Natural Scenery.
THE END.

In the eighteenth century people had
begun to appreciate natural scenery,
but chiefly when it took the form of ex-
tensive prospects, or, what we should
now call, perhaps slightingly, piano.
ramic views. The novelists of that cen
fury did not place their characters
among deliberately arranged scenery.
But the essayists of the period had
noted the tendency of the age, and
strove to explain the matter philo-
sophically. Thus we read in Addison's
Spectator: "The mind of man naturally
hates everything that looks like re-
straint upon it, and is apt to fancy itself
under a sort of confinement, when the
sight Is pent up in narrow compass,
and shortened on every side by the
neighborhood of walls or mountains.
On the contrary, a spacious horizon is
an image of liberty, where the eye has
room to range abroad, to expatiate at
large on the immensely of it's views, and
to lose itself amidst the variety of OBJ
jects that offer themselves 10 its OBJ
servation. Such wide and undetermined
prospects are as pleasing to the fancy

finitude are to the understanding. But
if there be beauty of uncommonness
joined with this grandeur, as in the
troubled ocean, a heaven adorned with
stars and meteors or spacious land
scape cut out into rivers, woods, rocks
and meadows, the pleasure still grows
upon US, as it arises from more than a
single principle" -Household Words.

CORNWALL.

Miss Eta Scovel is home from her school
in Dandy for her vacation.
The good people of our town proposed to
celebrate the Fourth this year according to
their own liking. In the early morning the
young men with small piece of ordnance
made tour through the town to wake up the
old veterans, which they did quite success
fully. AS was previously arranged our people
were to celebrate in a picnic. AT an early
hour the guests arrived at the Crystal Spring
picnic ground of J. w. Atwood All the
necessary arrangement had been made, swings
were hung among the pines for the little folks,
seats for the old and tables for all, which
were filled to overlooking with the good things
in which Cornwall abounds. The day was
all that could be asked, notwithstanding the
threatening aspect The program for the day
was well carried out. Over three hundred
were present. After the usual visit and meet
ing of old acquaintance and friends, refresh
ments were served, and then came the exer-
cises for the day. The Introductory address
of welcome was given by J. w. Atwood. The
Taylor brothers, assisted by the quartet club,
gave some excellent music, while the old
South Cornwall drum-corps came in with the
old military airs to enliven the occasion. The
remarks of L. w. Peet of legislature fame
and one of our ablest citizens were listened..t to
with interest. Mrs. Selingham of Ticonder-
oga, n. V, who had been engaged as speaker
of the day, sustained her reputation as an
orator beyond our expectation. The poem by
Miss Katherine Griswold was an able produc-
ton and admirably rendered. This closing
the program of exercises, the company, as
many as wished, adjourned to the lake where
boats were furnished for all who wished to
ride. The fireworks in the evening, under
the direction of II. B. Scovel and his aids,
were treat seldom enjoyed. The reflection
of the fire in the water was beautiful. The
artillery, in the hands of Lewis Lane, did ex-
ceent work throughout the day. Thus
passed away the Glorious Fourth, an occa-
sion which will long be remembered by the
people of Cornwall and those who partic-
pated in it.

Warm and dry. Sharp lightning and heavy

this section. Cisterns are empty, gardens are
drying up-in fact we are dry community.
Our community quite largely celebrated the
Fourth this year, by going to Middlebury,
some to Grand View, others to the picnic held
in the pleasant grounds of Messrs. Atwood in
the south part of the town, where all seemed
to enjoy the exercises much. A slight rain
and the omnous clouds promising more some
what disturbed the serenity Of the occasion.
The music was good, also the speaking. Miss
Griswold's poem, read by herself, was so good
we hope TO see it printed, so that those not
there may enjoy it, as all did who heard it.
OF Mrs Sellingham's remarks, they were most
excellent and it Is regretted that they could
not have been heard under more favorable
circumstances. Walter Atwood introduced
the speakers and welcomed the crowd in a
very easy and happy manner. 1t certainly is
very pleasant place to 60, and everyone is
well used Good fireworks in the evening
were fitting finish to an enjoyable day.
