Wantastiquet, the Wizard.


written for the REFoRMER.)
As go down to Busy street
In early morning, cold and gray,
Sometimes my feeble courage faints
In dread fOrebodings of the day.
But up on old Wantastiquet
The strength of youth, so fresh and free,
So resolute and unafraid,
Is ever smiling down at me-
From FER the mountains pearly rim
1t floats, and foldeth me complete
An armor that can well defy
The sings and stings of Busy street
Sometimes my heart is sore, for those
Whose love with time has changed and chilled
And go down subdued and sad
The very pulse of gladness stilled.
But, looking up,-from those gray heights,
Old loves, true loves, smile down at me
Unchanged and dear and life leaps up
A sweet, enchanting mystery.
Up there. where earth and cloudland kiss,
All Joys miss have found retreat
They are not lost So go down
With smiling eyes, to Busy street
Oh. grand cid mountain! Meath thy spell
little longer would be,
Drawing an inspiration deep
OF strength and high serenity.
Thou hast great thoughts, that would share,
Back of those banks of purple mist
-Fancies, like trills of happy birds,
Caught in those clouds of amethyst.
Under thy spell, till Death shall come
And still the pain of hopes defeat
Toll will be joy and burdens bliss
And life a song. on Busy street.

Only a small amount of business
has been transacted at the March term
of Windham county court which con-
vened at Newfane Wednesday. On ac-
count of trouble along the line the mar
row gauge train which was to have left
Brattleboro at 8 O'Clock Wednesday
morning did not start until nearly
noon and consequently court did not
convene until about 2.30. The remain
DEF of the afternoon was taken with
motions and demurrers and the first
CdSt was uol Cdlleu uulll yesterday.
1t is Eva G. Bell of Halifax against
the estate of Frank B. johnson on
claim for services rendered Mr.. John
son previous to his death. Chase and
Fits are for the plaintiff and Martin
and Gibson for the defendant. This
case will probably last through today.
Train service to and from Brattle-
boro has been decidedly irregular all this
week on account of the serious damage
done by Sundays storm and the con-
sequent high water. A description of
the way things were Monday is given
in another column but even on Tuesday
there was nothing definite regarding
schedules. All of the. trains from the
north were late. the one due here at
9:10 arriving at 10 80 from White River
Junction where it was made up. The
. 10 did not arrive until 7:l5. half
hour behind the 4 81. The trains from
the south were practically all on time.
Schedules we're not strictly followed
Wednesday and yesterday although the
service was better. The narrow gauge
has been no farther than Wardsboro !
since last Saturday, the passenger train |
last night running to that point and |
transferring passengers.
