He sfell asleep! How sleep is like to
death;
With unseeing ewes and scarce ap-
parent breath!
The cast-off clothes, the task that is
not done.
Which he must lay aside at set of
sun.
He fell asleep! He planned so much
to- do
For benefit of home and country
too
The grain he planted he was ne'er
to reap,
For darkness came. and he must go
to sleep.
He fell asleep! He knew that night
would come
For him. and grieved for others in
his home,
Who must his tasks take up and
carry through,
Without his cheering presence, kind
and true.
He walks in fairer lands beyond the
sky,
Where love and happiness shall
never die.
HE loving memory in our hearts
we keep,
Until we, in our turn, shall go to

property except Mrs. Albert Price

Price of some of the eastern states

blacksmith who moved into the
woods of Deerfield township many
years ago and commenced the ac-
tivities of life in clearing away the
forest, raising crops and killing the
wild game for meat, and who work

Nellie Grant.
With all of the love and good
wishes of nation there was cloud
in the sky on her wedding day. Her
father, grim old general, a judge OF
men, could not approve the match
He had doubts and was too honest
to disregard them. Like other good
fathers he would not forbid, but he
could not approve. His feelings
were shared by others. One of the
great papers then had an editorial
under the caption "Poor Little Nell
lie," that was copied all over the
land and became historic. There
was some hatred of England in the
editorial but far more of love and
pity for the sweet faced White
House bride.
The cloud in the sky did not dis
appear. It was there, heavy at
times, and it stayed. 1t was not an
ideal union America heard many
sad stories and was grieved many
times as it contemplated her unhap-
piness. Love for Nellie Grant per-
sisted and when she was freed by
death, Congress gladly gave her by
special act renewal of American
citizenship and welcomed her back
home. Ten years ago she became
the bride of wealthy banker in
Chicago. but the cloud was in the
sky. Sickness came, ultimately
paralysis developed and for years
she was an invalid Seldom men
toned the public knew little of her.
News of her death came as a re-
mirder and surprise Poor Little
Nellie. wrote a great editor half
hundred years ago. She was loved
SO fondly by nation, she had suf-
fered so much! 1t was given to her
to know the brilliance of the light
on the mountain top, and to feel the
heaviness of the shadows far down
in the valley.-O. S. Journal.

name Of no fairer White House
bride, no one better loved by the
nation, than Nellie Grant. when she

Nellie Grant away from America
and made her British subject. Her
marriage attracted nationwide at

woman of 10, only daughter of the
great Union general, the soldier
president, serving his second term,
favorite with all White House
visitors, the adopted daughter of
the nation. the hearts of the good
people had been won by her and
qMerfowed with good wishes for
her. But the generation that knew
and loved Nellie Grant has passed.

MIGRATING New England Air.

MIGRATING New England Air.
There are inns and taverns in New
England nowadays. In these one may
get a fairly good feed for an exorbitant
price and some of them boast the figure
that is technically known as 'mine
host" but they are the resorts of tour
ing millionaires and statesmen Such
places have nothing in common with the
all-the-year-round country hotel that
serves food largely responsible for the
mystical, pensiye hue of 50 much of the
New England character. Crimes of vio-
lence are, of course. unheard of in these
respectable places, but slow poisoning is
included in the weekly terms. Why Eu-
rope, sunk III mediaeyalism as our most
progressive publicists assure US that it
is, why Europe can have country hotels
where food is well cooked and America
cannot, is grievous question, sore for
The heart of any patriot of the green
footstool classification. And New Eng
and herein has much to ponder, so
much that we had best go on with our
sexagenarian, who perhaps would have
sandwich in his pocket, or, better still,
might have a home to go to. Perhaps
he would have been driven back to his
home country by the closing of some
such old city hotel as the New England
House in Boston that shut its doors the
other day and once on a time had a els
tern and well and crummy half-tone
liurtraIC or a WhISKered proprietor hang
ing over the desk But this is a melan-
choly reflection. Our seXagenarian be-
longs in the country and the fresh air,
where he can read and walk and tackle
a reporter occasionally, and though he
be arrived at years of joyous discre-
ton. tire not but cheer on the way
some worn and f0otsore lad who has
w ri in
Tor telephone, a garage, a movie the
atre, a tobacco store and a Grecian
bootblack Him our sexagenarian would
stimulate with stories of adventure and
achievement, recount to him the glorieS
IF the past, tell him how to know
Tsigane by the stars or otherwise. and
though, of course. the youth would not
thank him for all this, regard his van
ishing figure with a kindly smile. This
done and having been delayed by the
meeting. our Sexagenarian would tighten
his belt n little and stride on, upheld by

ing. One danger, or rather adventure
he may haye-he may find himself in the
movies or on the screen, whichever way
best likes you. The federal department
of agriculture has put New England on
the films and called the pictures White
Pine, Beautiful and Useful, a pretty
touch for an official description and say
ing much, for we of the New England
blood think that our countryside is beau
tiful and useful. 1t is possible that our
sexagenarian doing his homeward four
miles an hour might meet the federal
movie men who would respectfully en-
treat him to walk towards the camera

Luck is generally described as some
thing that happens seemingly by
chance. 1t may be an event. either
good or evil, which affects the inter-

good luck only.
