The value of one vote-what is it?

on this subject, saying: Il have only

no change in the result because | do
not go Il the polls. This is the most
frequent form of excuse with which
careless or indolent citizens sootho
their consciences on election day. OF
course the excuse carries it's own refu
tation with it. IL everybody thought
and acted thus, there would be no
election at all. In the gubernatorial
campaign in Massachusetts in Novem
Der. 1889, Marcus Morton defeated
Edward Everett by a single vote in
a total poll Of 1O0,622. This defeat
interrupted the hitherto triumphant
political career Of Everett, and with.
drew him from the field OF possible
presidential candidates, until 1860.

as vice presidential nominee on the
ticket headed by John Bell, and was

A DREAMLAND DETECTIVE.
Singular Way In which an English
Murderer Was Discovered.

In the London Mirror of Literature
for June, 1874, there is an account of
q dream that was remarkable In many
respects. 1t is given upon the author
ity of a clergyman of the Church of
England, the Rev. Mr.. Alexander, who
speaks from personal knowledge OF
some Of the facts. 1t appears that a
young man Of good reputation, named
Horrocks, was found robbed and MUIR
dered His head had been beaten In
apparently with bludgeons. A vigilant
search was made for the assassin and
after several months abandoned, no
clew to the crime having been discov-
cred. One night gentleman who had
been well acquainted with Horrocks
awoke and told his wife that he had
had a dream in which he had been as
sured that one Samuel Longsmith of
Bolton was the murderer.
Longsmith lived some twenty miles
away and was a person whom the
dreamer had met but once or twice.
His wife told him to think no more
about it, but to go to sleep. A second
time he awoke from the effects of the
same dream and announced his reso-
luton to take steps the following morn
Ing to see what could come of it. Ac-
cordingly he went to Bolton the next
day and sought a warrant for the ar
rest of Longsmith. The magistrate,
however, refused to grant it upon such
evidence. Passing through the market
place, he met Longsmith and invited
him to go to a public house to hear
something he had to communicate to
him. There, locking the door, he
charged him with the crime. Long
smith was staggered and family de-
MED the accusation. In his confusion
he said he was innocent, for he did
not strike the blow.
"Then you know the man who did,"
replied the accuser, and Longsmith
was arrested and examined. He pre-
varicated at the examination and was
remanded for three days. At the end
of that time and after many hours
prayer he confessed that he had been
induced to join three men in q robbing
expedition, when, meeting Horrocks,
who made some resistance, his three
companions murdered him. This con-
fession came out before the grand jury,
and Longsmith was brought to trial
The fact of the dream was not offered
in evidence, but other testimony suf-
ncient to convict him was produced.
A few days before the execution he
made a full acknowledgment of his
guilt

STYLE IN WRITING.
An Incident That Showed How Wen
Choate Knew De Quincy.


II is the fashion to laugh gently at
any claim of special sense for style
in writing. Most people really believe
that Mr.. Brown and Mr.. Johnson will
order a car load of potatoes In suDstan-
TALLY the same words and that Lord
Bacon and Master Shakespeare wrote
enough alike to deceive their dearest
friends. But occasionally one comes
upon an illustration that goes to prove
style in writing is as distinctive to the
trained eye as color is.
Many years ago James I. Fields was
making collection of the writings OF
De Quincy. The essays were widely
scattered in various periodicals and
were often hard to identify. Mr..
Fields knew Rufus Choate as devot-
ed student OF De Quincy and wrote
him one day asking his opinion as to
a certain article. Was it by De Quin-
cey or not?
Mr.. Choate replied that 1t certainly
was. There could be no mistaking the
style of the piece. A few weeks later
Mr.. Choate received, through Mr..
Fields, a letter from De Quincy deny
ing absolutely and somewhat indig-
nantly the authorship of the article
But Choate was not of the stuff to
yield his opinion for trifle like that
He wrote to Mr.. Fields
81 still believe that De Quincy wrote
the essay, De Quincy to the contrary
Notwithstanding"
Doubtless Mr.. Fields read the note
with smiling comment That's just
like Choates confidence in his OWL
Judgment
Months elapsed. One day there came
letter from De Quincy containing @
humble apology for his previous blum
der. BY chance he had found in his
desk the manuscript of the very arti

He who hath most heart knows most
of sorrow.
A cheerful countenance betokens a
good heart.
No estate can make him rich that has
poor heart
When you open your heart be always
ready to shut it to again.
The hearts testimony is stronger
than a thousand witnesses.
A glad heart seldom signs, but sor-

The heart is the hidden treasure Of

treasure.
