THE Garden glows

Of the "Old Garden" Of Margaret De-

The Garden glows
And 'gainst its walls the city's heart
still beats.
And out from it each summer wind
that blows
Carries some sweetness to the tired

There is a shaded walk in this gar
den which is a thing of sOlace and

a bit is shown opposite this page, over

the old tTee-hke things, so fair-foW-
cred and sweet-scented in spring, so
heavy-leaved and CoOl-shadowing in
midsummer: what pleasure would
there be in this shaded walk if this
garden were separated from the street
only by stone curbing or a low rail?
And there is an old sun-dial, too. in
this enclosed garden, 1 fear the street

and the line of tall shrubs is carried
out by the lavish vines and roses on
fences and walls. Within all this bor-
der of greenery glows the clustered
gems of rare and beautiful flowers,
till the whole garden seems like some
rich jewel set purpOsely to be worn in
honor over the Citys heart-a clus-
tered jewel, not one to be displayed
carelessly and heedlessly."

As might be expected, the author has
drawn for her work from the gardens
in and about Worcester. She writes:
In the heart of Worcester there is
a fine old mansion with ample lawns,
great trees, and lowering shrubs that
all may see over the garden fence as
they pass by. Flowers bloom lavishly
at one side of the house; and the
thoughtless stroller never knows that
behind the house stretching down be

Waterbury Man Commits Suicide.

The people of Waterbury were
shocked Thursday by the news that
Frank B. Taylor, highly respected
citizen, had attempted to take his life
by hanging in his barn. He was dis
covered by his wife who succeeded in
cutting the rope before life was ex-
tinct, but the cords in his neck were
broken. Mr.. Taylor had been in very
poor health for some months, and
was greatly detected at times. 1t is
thought that his act was committed
during a temporary alteration of
mind. He was to submit to an oper-
alton for the removal of a tumor
from his stomach Friday. In his de-
lection he evidently planned and COM
mitted the fatal deed. At 9:15 in
the morning he wrote a note, which
was found after death, reading as
follows: "My dear wife and daugh-
ter: Please forgive this last act. !
could not stand my troubleany long
er. God forgive. Frank" Some
time after writing this note he went
to the barn and in few minutes his
wife folio we'd. Not finding him in the
lower part, she went into the loft and
saw Mr.. Taylor hanging there. He
had put rope with a moose in it
around rafter, then stepping on a
chair placed his head inside the moose
and kicked the chair away. His wife
screamed and her daughter at once
ran out for help. Seeing that life
was not extinct Mrs. Taylor cut the
rope releasing Mr.. Taylor and Drs.
circuit and James arrived soon and
took charge of him. 1t was found
that two cords in his neck we're brok-
en- and he died about two hours later
without regaining consciousness. Mr..
Taylor has been in the grocery trade
here for many years. He sold out
some time ago on account of poor
health. He was in comfortable cir
cumstances. He was an old soldier,
entering the service at st. Adams,
July Is, 1868, in the Sixth regiment,
Co. ID. He was transferred to Co. l.,
and was mustered out 10 June, 1865.
He leaves widow and one daughter,
the wife of Rev. Robert Brush, of Syr-
acuse,N. Y, who was called here last
week by her fathers illness.
