IN A CAR AT NIGHT.

The night and mist of rain had made
a mirror of the window glass,
And 50 when idly | essayed
70 see the long procession pass
or little villages that flee,
OF scattered lights that twinkle far
The window mirror gave to me
Alone the objects in the car.
How often when we look without
our comfortable circles on
The world We see, beyond doubt,
None comfortless and woe BECOME,
Sec our content reflected fun,
The fools of an illusion vain,
And never dream (oh. blind and dulD
What lies beyond of grief and pain.

CFrom the Burlington Ncws)

The marriage has been celebrated and
the democracy has become a hybrid
, under the name of fusion. In celcbrat-
Ing the nuptaIs there was stern OPP
position to the union on the part Of
large number of tho friends Of the
bride. The occasion therefore, as may
be believed was not wholly a joyous
one. The groom waited patiently at one
, side while the friends Of the bride fought
out among themselves the question Of
/ union. ii was finally decided that the
nuptlals should be celebrated and a
committee was appointed 10 Ak the terms
and secure all that was possible in the
way OF dover for the bride. The tran

by our townsman, Mayor Burke, was
sent to inform the waiting bridegroom
that he had been accepted. In the fore
noon Mayor Burke opposed the marriage
and called Mr.. Clement tho "arch-grafter
of Vermont; in the afternoon he gave
away the bride. When the bridegroom
finally came to his own there was a great
display of gladness among those who
favored as well as those who had opposed
the nuptias.

change in the relative position OF light and

hogs have been selling at a premium over
