A most susceptible young gentleman was
Frank Chandler, late of Fryeburg. Me.
First of all, he fell in love with his father s
housekeeper, and secretly married her. But,
upon the avowal of this union. old Chand-
Ter declared, we don't know by what au-
thority, that he did not approve of it and
so the wife went home to her family But
it is of no use to waste sympathy upon young
Chandler, for he straightway fell in love
with another lady, and wanted to marry her
To this the old gentleman naturally object
ed, which so discouraged the youth that he
took great dose of laudanum, and is no
more in the flesh The father is one of the
wealthiest farmers of that region.

Nor can | describe her. She was prettier
than your cousin at Christmas time. 4 sun

Of what she was like. Her hair was finer
than maize-sik and blacker than the wing

On a river Of a calm night. Her lips were
redder than the strawberries and her breath
like the breath Of pine woods after rain. Her

greener where she walked, and when she

and butted their heads against the trees and

Though fortune tempt you to depart


From uprightness and truth,
There should be craven on your heart
Through childhood and through youth,
The mem'ry of that bless d rule,


Taught by One pure and true
'Do unto others as you would
Have Others do to you.n
When shadows come, and clouds erhang
Life's usually bright sky,
Think of the One who kept this rule,


And then sincerely try
To reach the Home above the skies,


Which then will be your due,
If you will do to others as


You'd have them do to you.
If you had injured any friend,


And then forgivness sought
Should he not grant it, you would think
He never had been brought
To that dear Home, the holy Church.


Which is the Christian 5 school;
The Bride of Him who taught US all


To keep the Golden Rule.
So when friend has done you harm,
And then for pardon cries,
Delay not, but at one forgive,


And bring joy to his eyes;
By kind and tender words of love


Old friendships ties renew,
By doing to him as you would


Have had him do to you.
And when at last to Heaven you come,
And hear your Saviour's voice
You'll stand with those who see His face
And round His throne rejoice;
You'll hear Him say in accents mild,


ttCOme uDto Me bless n few
Who've done to Others as you would


Have others do to you p n.

The painful effect Of some of. the
most usual kinds of artificial light up
on the eye is we'll known even to many
whose natural vision is unimpaired.-
This is attributed by recent invest ga
tors to the great proportion Of really
non-illuminous rays, or rays Of mere
caloric bearing no illumination, which
it contains. It lis claimed to be demon
strated, by accurate analysis, that in
sunlight there are fifty per cent. ofsuch
rays, in gaslight nearly ninety, in cleo
trio light eighty, and in kerosene light
as many as ninety-four. Without
vouching for the entire correctness of
these figures, the announcement late
ly made is worth repeating, namely,
that German chemist named Londs-
berg processes to have discovered that
by passing any kind of artificial light
through thin layer Of alum or mica
these caloric rays are absorbed, while
the illuminating power Of the true
light rays is undiminEhed, and be-
comes exceedingly mild and pleasant

The trial OF Sergeant Ringe for refusing to lock

War is being vigorously prosecuted upon the fat
rendering and boiling companies by the Board OF
Health. The monster nuisance which has for so
long q time spread disease and pestiience In the
neighbornood OF West Thirty. eighth street is in

 With proper direction and disci pline, we believe the proposition cor rect, and we have always insisted that the Indians, like other people, should be compelled to support themselves by lawful labor. Time and patience and rigid government will all be re- quired to educate them up to this just position. The officer who suggests the inauguration of the manufacture of clothing, thinks success possible. It is only a question of time when the trial should be made. Food with the Apaches is the the first consideration and clothing hardly secondary to it. Having produced the one, they should, if possible, be made to make the other. It may not now be too early to put some sheep on the reserves as pri- mary step. The officers in immediate charge should promptly recommend what Is best for the Indians under their care, always being careful not to urge new experiments in advance of more important ones not completely applied or proven to be inapplicable.
