"a time to kill" Does he commend
hatred, war and murder? God shall judge
the righteous and the wicked, for there is
time for every purpose and every work
Our duty is to perform the several parts
of our duty and prepare for the future
and we cannot anticipate or retard these

takes away that tim.dity, uncouthness
that all young possess To bring them out
so they may have better ease and ges-
lures and feel free to go among strangers,
and not TO be wall fiowers-afraid to move
and think, yet if they would look closely
into the matter they would find that the
style and finish acquired under the tut
ton of a dancing master is adapted rather
to the tastes of vain associates than to
the refined and Intellectual society. Many
young girl has the par excellence" of
manners who never saw the dance. If
our young must be trained and polished
in this respect before they can face the
world, then it is the duty of every mother
to see that they are lead to acquire
proper courage and polite manners either
by calfsthenics or some other healthfui
exercise. Compare the manly walk of the
upright child of God who has caught his
steps from the promptings of a conscious
rectitude with the m.ncing tread of
brainless fop whose grandest achieve
ments are in the ball room. Compare the
natural grace. of a pure girl to the dis
gusting affectation and brazen effrontery
of a pert miss, who has lost the art to
blush. and then answer the question, is
1t necessary for manners?

ANOTHER AT UxBRlDeE.
{ arags Repository and Blacksmith Shop
Totally Destroyed.

Uxbridge, May 1S.-The carriage re-
pository of Clark w Newell and the
wheelwright and blacksmith shop of B.
L. Dresser at Uxbridge, were totally
destroyed by fire at about o'clock this
morning. The loss is estimated at
from $4,000 to $4,000, and is partially
covered by insurance
The origin Of the fire is unknown
but the theory is that it started from
spark from the Dresser blacksmith
shop. The fire had made a good start
when discovered, and quickly destroyed
the buildings named. Both buildings
were of wood. The repository was a
large two-story structure and had beer
built recently. 1t was filled with car
riages and sleighs. Twenty carriages
and as many sleighs were burned. A
numbeYof carriages were run out OF
the burning buildings by Mr.. Newell
and assistants and saved.
The Dresser shop, with the tools, was
a total loss.

TWISS ISAT HOME.
He Arrived From
Brockton Yester-
day Morning.
MYSTERIOUS TRIPS.
Otis G Bent's Sunday Out
ings Now Looked Up
on Differently.

North Brookfeld, May 1S.--Early this
morning George Twiss arrived at his
home here, having been set at liberty
on bail furnished by his father-in-law,
Freeman Glazier, and his brother-in-
law, George Howe, He was accompan-
led by Mr.. Glazier and reached here
at TAO o'clock.
Without delay Mr.. Glazier started
for Worcester in quest Of Lawyer Tim
othy Howard, Bent's counsel Mr..
Howard did not want Twiss to make
any statements that might tend to in
criminate his client, but there was no
need for anxiety on this score, as Twiss
remained in the house all day and had
nothing to say concerning the case.
Up to date, there have been no de-
Velopments in this strange case not
already recorded, except mysterious
Sunday trips made by Bent, as The
Spy reporter ascertained today. For a
few Sundays past Bent has been in the
habit of leaving North Brookfeld on
the electrics in the early morning, but
at the time nothing was thought Of
these trips. Now, however, they have
q. peculiar significance. Last Sunday
Bent started out early, as was his Gus
TOM When he got on the main line
of the Warren, Brookfield and Spencer
road, he remarked that he was going to
take trolley ride to Clinton, but the
gfew who know that he went away Sun
day, do not believe that Clinton was
his destination, unless perchance he
may have passed through there.
AS the leather was shipped from
Barre to the Phoenix Leather Co. at
Hudson, the perfectly natural theory
Is that 1t was to Hudson he went Sun
day. State Detective Peleg F. Murray
of Worcester evinced a lively interest
in the case when he talked to The Spy
reporter yesterday. The detective con-
siders it as grave as it could well be,
and thinks the men are in for a severe
seentence, unless the corporation inter-
cedes for them and obtains clemency.
That the firm will do this he consld-
ers very unlikely, as under the exist
1ng conditions it would seem to be
poor policy to set such a precedent
Efforts have been unceasing to pro-
cure bail for Bent, and now show good
prospects of success. Every hope of
getting bail for him from North Brook
field has been practically abandoned,
but it is thought that friends of his
from the vicinity of Grafton viii come
TO the fore and furnish bonds

Professor and Mrs. Simpson.

The recent removal Of Wayland
seminary from Washington to Rich
mond not only reduces the number Of
our educational institutions in this
city, but also takes from among US
several educators whose personal In
fiuence among Us was distinct upliit
in the intellectual, social and religious
life of our community. And among
these Prof. and Mrs. J. B. Simpson oc-
cupy conspicuous place. Prof.
Simpson, who graduated from Colby
University, in Maine, came to Wash
ington several years ago and engaged
in teaching at Wayland Seminary. The
fidelity, ability and earnestness with
which he discharged the duties OF his
position easily won recognition and
promotion for him in the school and
widened the sphere Of his usefulness in
the community. He was member OF
the Berean Baptist church, and was
ordained to the ministry at this church
shortly before leaving tnls CITY 10 Jake
up his work at Richmond. A few years
ago he married Miss Garrett, teacher
in the city schools Of Springfield,
Mass, who by her amiable disposition
and lofty character readily won last
ing place in the respect and esteem OF
her acquaintances. Like her husband,
Mrs, Simpson also identified herself
with the Beresn Baptist church, and
engaged earnestly in the Christian
activities of that church. They were
both prominent workers in many non.
denominational charities here, and by
their geniality manner added much to
the social life of our community. We
bespeak for them cordial welcome in
our sister city beyond the Potomac.
