Ny Prayer

Life has a thousand pleasures,
A thousand joys each day;
Yet for what it has given me,
sit in grief Away.
Therefore with fearful eyes I pray
Death, come and set me free!
TO me life s joys are all unknown,
dwell in misery.
With mornings s dawn my mighty woe
Dawns, and begins to burn;
For me my sorrows rise again,
Whichever way I turn.
My spirit and my flesh they rend;
They rend me nightly
Sender of Death, why dost thou wait?
Oh! send him soon to me-
Him like brother I will greet
And his dark hand will kiss,
Nor struggle when he cuts life's bond,
A life so sad as this.
When with his sharp blade cold and
keen,
He sewers it midway;
Enough, enough of suffering,
Swift to the end, I pray.

and many different views Of the Nc
Lean place, Friendship, where the hon.

perfect treasure, and Mrs. Longworth
values it more than rubies.
Tho she said with a fine show Of firm
ness at the outset of her married life
that she would attend to her own cor
raspondence and that the employment

nonsense, Mrs.. Longworth has been

DENATURED ALCOHOL
Is Used Largely by the Hat Manufact
 uring Firms of Connecticut.

The Courant says that Samuel A. Eddy of Canaan, who was appointed inspector in the internal revenue de partment under the denatured alcohol act has entered upon his duties. His work will be in the internal revenue collection district of Connecticut, comprising the states of Connecticut and Rhode Island Mir. Eddy's ap- pointment was made by the internal revenue commissioner, upon the rec ommendation of Congressman E. J. Hill of the fourth district, who had a prominent part in the passage of the new law.
 The hat industry IS already taking steps to avail itself of the denatured alcohol act, which goes into effect Jan. 1st. The centers of this indus. try in this state are at Danbury. Bethel, South Norwalk and New Mil. ford. These hat manufacturers are the largest consumers of 'wood all cohol' in Connecticut at present and 1t IS expected that they will, at first certainly, be the largest consumers of denatured alcohol. The alcohol used in the stiffening of hats is recovered and used again, and the recovering and redenaturing will be done under government inspection. The purpose of the new law is to permit the with drawal from bond, untaxed, of dis titled spirits for the purpose of de maturing.
 MT. Eddy, the new inspector, who is we'll known in this state, is the president of the Connecticut com mission for the Jamestown exposi- ition. He has been clerk of the sen ate and house and has already had a federal appointment, serving as su- perindentent of the census of 1900 for Connecticut He was for eight years secretary of the republican state central committee.

ION A KOUNT WATH WE SEEN"
The Old Germans Experience With a
 Gruesome Relic.

Not many years ago, in Ashley Falls. Mass, an old German and his wife went to inspect certain house which had just been vacated and which was for rent. In their tour of the building they were accompan- fed by the son of the owner of the building.
 The inspection was most thorough After the first and second floors and the cellar had been examined. they expressed a desire to see the attic and the accommodating son at once escorted them there The first thing seen by the son, on mounting the at tic stairs, was an old-fashioned cof- fin which, for some unknown reason, had been in possession of the fam fly who had just vacated the house and which they had either forgotten or purposely left behind. c
 When this gruesome relic was seen by the old Germans, they cut short their attic inspection and hustled down stairs.
 On leaving. the building they in formed the son that they would noti- fly him later as to whether they de- cided to rent the house and in two or three days a letter was received from them which read as follows: Dear Sir:
 I am sorri te tell you that we vii not talk the House becous If got so nervos an a kount wath we seen up- stairs.

Tenth Anniversary.

The Connecticut Magazine, published at New Haven has just celebrated its tenth anniversary. During this decade it has taken a foremost position in American Letters. It is doubtful if any periodical has contributed more articles of real worth and permanent value to our National literature. Connecticut has indeed gained a notable reputation through this achievement. Much credit is due to Francis Trevelyan Miller, who's strong literary hand has made it possi- ble, and who is to-day recogni zed throughout the country as haviug pro duced one of the most noteworthy pro- ducts of the generation.

Italian laborers digging out a wood chuck discovered the rich deposit and told him about it. Uncle Bill wrote his son William in Chicago about it and also sent him samples. On came capitalists and experts from Chicago and prospecting disclosed a regular Klondike of the best kinds of clay and the farther down they go the better the quality.
