THE DAILY RECORD-US
A WINTER GRAVE.
I'M softly from the cold, forbidding skies,
O snow ! fall tenderly,
And make the low lied where asleep she lies,
With tired lids sealed fast o'er tired eyes,
Most beautiful to see I
Fashion a coverlet of shining white,
Without a spot or stain.
Tor her, who, lost to earthly sound and sight —
Shut out from the free air and gracious light-
Is lost to _„-.<_ and pain '
And when tb* spring all Jubilant shall come.
Alio swallows hurry horne —
Whon all the land breaks into -- "ing,
And streams grow glad, for Joy shall liap and sing,
O violets ' shy darting! of the light,
Come forth in blue and white.
And make, as well as ye can, this bairen mound
Like to cnchat.ted ground '
WIDOW APPLEDORE'S ROMANCE.
" A man that thinks of nothing but pep
mint oil an' price of wheat I No ! Emma
Jane ; my life has been humdrum enough
without ending it with Deacon Bliss. I
shan't have hint '"
" Well, well, Koaetta, if you won't I
don't know's anybody's goin'ter try an'
make you," chirped plump, rosy Mrs.
Phlox, looking up from the stout blue
woolen sink she was knitting. "I s'pose
the Deacon thought he'd a right to ask you,
seem' it's a free country. Caleb Appledore
was a awful nice man, but so's the Deacon.
l.one wimraen are put on. Job Whitta
more neglects your garding, an' just see
what work you have with your tins win
ters an' keepin' roads broke out.
"I'm not going to marry just to have
some one tend the garden and do the
-chores," said Mrs. Appledore. I've never
found fault with them that's dead and
gone ; but I know what it is to live with a
person who does not care two pins for the
things I do, and if I ever do marry again
it will be some one who can sympathize
with me. I can't say I swallow all 'Lias
Bradshaw says about the marryin' of souls
and affinities, but there's some truth in it
you may depend. Besides. I'd like a little
rom ince in my life before I die."
" Ro-mance is all well 'nuff,' said Mrs.
Phlox ; "but you're 39 next month, Bo
setta, an' sech a man as Deacon Bliss don't
grow on every bush. Bern' a good provider,
an' a splendid farmer, an' a deacon, an' a
pillar in the church may not be romantic,
but they're good recommendations in a
man you're thtnkin' oi marryio'. I hope
you'll think twice."
" I have thought, and I can't marry the
deacon," said Mrs. Appledore decisively ;
an' if that's being romantic, I'm not
ashamed of it.''
Tbe little widow did not look romantic
Her complexion was a dull white, and her
hair was a dull brown. Dull, too, were her
large gray eyes that blinked behind short
sighted glasses, but her form, though
meager and devoid of curve, was not with
out grace, and she had a clear, sweet so
prano voice, which, though it was un
trained, she could use with taste and
feeling. The Harmonicum, the Dixville
musical association, made her the head of
all their committees, aod relied upon her
to sing all the solos. Indeed, without her
it could not have existed. The wheezy mel
odeon, which was a dozen years old before
it became the property of the society, bad
at last collapsed under the energetic lingers
of Professor Jackson Jones, who did the ac
companying, and they were trying to buy a
piano. They had given concerts, and had
oyster suppers till Dixville was tired, when
Dr. OUapod suggested a lecture. It was
whispered that the Doctor had expected
the committee to invite him to read one of
his papers on the Semitic tongues ; but if
he did be was disappointed. They cor
responded with many popular lecturers,
who all declined to visit Dixville on the
plea of engagements, and the committee at
last invited a certain Professor St. Clair
Smith, about whom they knew nothing
save that he had lectured in the neighbor
ing villages with acceptance, to address
them. The Professor had suddenly ap
peared in Dixville mounted on a tine gray
horse. The next day he was seen to enter
the Postollice with a green bag on his arm,
and the gossips immediately reported tbat
he was wealthy and had come from Bos
ton. He at once accepted the invitation
of the Harmonicum Committee, and an
nounced that his lecture would be on the
" Philosophy of Art." The meeting-house
was hired, and Mrs. Appledore, with a
select few, began practicing some music
for the occasion.
It was the afternoon before the lecture,
and Mrs. Appledore had invited her sister
to spend the day with her. Domestic
duties seemed to be just what Mrs. Phlox
was '• made for. Her husband and sister
usually did all her thinking. In return
she served them with her hands ; but the
few notions that did creep into her round
head she clung to pertinaciously.
"The worst kind of a fool- is a beetle
headed one," she said, after a long pause ;
"an' puttin' this and that together, Ro
setta, I think, you're preparir.' with your
romancin' to be just that kind of a one. '
' ' I don't see how sisters can be so unlike,"
and Mrs. Appledore drummed a harsh ac
companiment to her words on the middb
Cof her piano. To be sure, yon are the
oldest ; but age need not make one's soul a
clod." ,
"It would be well for you to remember
that all the advantages are not on your
side," cried Mrs. Phlox, rising with dignity.
"There are bodies, yes, and dispositions,
that are clods," and Mrs. Phlox jerked on
her calash and went home.
The meeting-house was full, and the next
day the Dixville Time* declared the lecture
to have been a most soulful and eloquent
dissertation, but Mrs. Appledore's atten
tention wandered, and she only knew that
the entertainment was about to be con-
eluded by Dr. Ollapod's sonorous call for
" moasic."
"I am delighted," said Professor St.
-Clair Smith, bowing low before her, as Boon
as possible after the " moosic "I never
heard such a delicious voice."
Mrs. Appledore coughed behind her
hand to conceal her flattered embarrass
ment, and tamed a questioning look on
Professor Jackson Jones, who stood near.
" You always sing splendid," said that
gentleman, drawing himself up. "I dare
say I put you out. That little obligato is
a deuced hard thing to do. I didn't do
myself justice to-night."
"You've always dragged," said Karl
Leopold, who took every opportunity to
criticise the Harmonicum doings.
Professor Jackson Jones pulled at his
cravat, and Mrs. Appledore's face was full
of resentment.
"I never heard anything finer in Bos
' ton," said Professor St. Clair Smith, com
ing to the rescue, "and I suppose you
know what that implies."
The night after the lecture was a very
stormy one, and Mrs. Appledore was slowly
twisting her hair in crimping-pins, when
the door-bell rang. " I could not endure
the loneliness of the hotel, dear Mrs. Ap
pledore," said Professor St. Clair Smith,
making a courtly bow, "and have come to
beg for just one song." . ; -
The Professßr was, so far as outline and
coloring go, a handsome man. His head
was what is commonly called dome-shaped.
His wavy hair and silky beard were a
bright yellow red, and his rather large eyes
were blue. He sat down in the big rock
ing-chair, and taking a twin on each knee,
" 1 renew my youth in children," he cried,
giving them a squeeze. "Do you know
the song, ' The old times were the best
times when you and I were young "
"Oh, yes," said the widow, nervously
turning over her music, " but I can't say
that I feel so very old."
" Dear me, what a blunderer am,"
cried the Professor. "I was thinking of
my boyhood. I've always hated being
grown up. A man has so much to fetter
his imagination. You must have lost your
husband in the first flush of your youth I"
" I did," murmured the widow, forget
ting that she was 35 when the avent oc
curred.
"The twins were babes."
Song succeeded song till the Professor
proposed duets, and Mrs. Appledore en
joyed the music so much that it was mid
night before she knew it.
Two months passed away. The Pro
fessor came almost every evening. He
had hired a small house a little out of
town, that he might be undisturbed, he
explained, and a relative had come to keep
house for him. He did not know how long
he should remain in Dixville. He was pre
paring a book for publication, and writing
several lectures. When his literary labors
were over he was going to take a trip some
where and rest, though friends of his, in
fluential in Washington, were anxious for
him to accept a Consulship at an important
point.
The widow's neat white cottage stood
by itself on the confines of the village.
Deacon Bliss' fields of dark green pepper
mint and nodding wheat, stretching along
the road for nearly a mile joined the gar
den. Before her abrupt refusal of him,
the deacon had been accustomed to drop
in for a little visit or to bring a neighborly
offering of apples or fresh vegetables. But
these calls had ceased, and, cut off from
all her sources of news and pleasure, Mrs.
Apple-lore stayed closely at home, prac
ticed her music and entertained the Pro
fessor.
But one sunshiny afternoon Mrs. Phlox
came bustling up the prim graveled walk.
" Rosetta Appledore," she chirped, like
an angry bluejay, as she opened the d«or,
| " though a clod, which there are folks that
j think different, I've come to ask you if you
kno** you're the town talk ': "
" The town talk ? " echoed her astonished
sister.
"Yes, the town talk," repeated Mrs.
Phlox, with wonderful emphasis. " Any
body would be who had spent two blessed
months philanderin' with a married man."
" Who is married ?"
"Your Professor Smith."
"I don't believe it."
"I s'posed you wouldn't, hut I've seen
his wife," said Mrs. Phlox, with evident
satisfaction. " Miss Merrills, she 'twas
Pearly Ann Truesdale, wouldn't miss a
lindin' out anything if she had to walk ten
miles, an' she called on her, an' told me.
That night I says to John, ' John,' says I,
' a sister's a sister, 'specially if she's younger
an' a widder, an' if I be a clod I'm goin' to
the bottom of this;' 'an', 'says he, 'Emma
Jane, I think you'd better,' an' the first
thing he did the next mornin' was to hitch
up an' take me over on the mile-strip where
that fellow lives, in Tony Allerton's cot
tage. He want in, but she was, an' she
was washin'.
" 'I'm Miss Phlox,' says I, 'an' I come
to call.' 'Thank yon,' says she. 'I'm
Miss Smith,' an' she set out the only chair
there was in the room for me, an' set down
herself on the wash-bench.
" 'Air you Miss St. Clair Smith, the
wife of the Professor,' aez I.
"A sort of smile twinkled over her
mouth, an' she sez, ' Yes, Miss St. Clair
Smith, though I didn't know Mr. Smith
had adopted the St. Clair name. That's
my family name.' And then she went on
an' spoke of her husband, an' of how am
bitious he is, an' how he feels his spear in
public life, and how she is willin' to do
anything to help him. An' then she in
quired if I thought she could get sewin' in
Dixville when she feels a little better an'
is able to do it."
Tears of shame and anger gathered in
Mrs. Appledore's eyes as her sister spoke.
"Is Mrs. Smith good-looking ? Is she an
interesting woman?" she asked.
" I can't say how interesting she is. She
seemed kind of trod on, so to speak. As
for looks, she ain't any prettier' you'd be
if you worked hard an' didn't have half
enough to eat," said Mrs. Phlox calmly.
Mrs. Appledore sobbed aloud. " What
do people say about me? What shall I
do I" she cried.
" They don't say nothin' yet, on'y that
you're dreadful foolish," chirped her sis
ter, rising and putting on her calash, for
it was almost supper time. "I can't say
as I know of anything for you to do ex
cept to tell Mr. Smith to stay t'home.
'Taint likely that Deacon Bliss will give
you a chance to say yes a second time."
There had been a good deal of pleasura
ble excitement in receiving the visits of
the Professor. To dress herself in her best
mourning and to sing her favorite Bongs to
an appreciative listener, had been something
to look forward to during the humdrum
work of the day. The thought, however,
of what her acquaintances were saying
about her embittered her life, and when
the Professor again called one glance at
her face told him that she knew all.
"Dear Mrs. Appledore," he began, but
she checked him.
" You had better go borne to your wife,
Mr. Smith," said she, coldly.
Tears — real tears — into the Profes
sor's big blue eyes. " But I love you," he
cried, "and she has always been an incu
bus upon my soul."
But she's your wife," persisted Mrs.
Appledore.
"I know it," moaned the Professor, rub
bing his brow distractedly. "It eats out
my vitals when I think of it. She don't
feel as I feel. There's no wings for me as
long as I am tied to her. We've no
affinity."
Mrs. Appledore gazed at him in dull
wonder. These were almost the words she
had used to her sister, but they did not
sound pleasantly now.
"I love yon, Rosetta," went on the
little man, approaching her ; " and I want
to ask you just one question : Were I a
single man would you marry me ?"
"I might," admitted the widow, smooth
ing down a fold in her overskirt with a
trembling hand.
" Enough ! " and the Professor flang his
arms about her and pressed a rapturous
kiss upon her forehead. "Bless you, my
darling I " and before she could answer him
he was gone. '.r.r
The next evening when Mrs. Appledore
was taking down her washing from the line
she was suddenly clasped from behind by
a pair ol strong arms. "You will soon be
mine," said the voice of the Professor.
" I've offered my wife §50 to leave me, and
she has accepted."
"Accepted," the widow cried, wrench
ing herself free.
" Yes. and as Boon as I can sell my book
she shall go. I've lived in sole isolation
long enough. My heart has found its
mate."
All the men that Mrs. Appledore knew
were quaint of speech and somewhat rustic
in manner, but what they considered duty
controlled their lives. " You wretch,"
she cried, dashing the clothes-pin basket
at him. " Fifty dollars I You ain't worth
fifty cents. Go home and never dare to
speak to me again I "
"Hear me," he pleaded, catching hold
of her gown.
"I can't stay out here and listen to
philanderin' talk," she answered reso
lutely, and twitching her dress from his
grasp she entered the house. But the
Professor's hand was upon the latch.
Like most little women, the widow was a
curious mixture of timidity and courage.
She flung the door opeD. , " Don't you dare
to come in ! " she cried. "I'll throw hot
water on you I I'll — I'll kill you I " Then,
slammiog the door in his face, she bolted
it securely. -• .■•■.":
All the evening the Professor paced up
and down Mrs. Appledore's back veranda.
The next evening he again appeared, and
the next, and the widow thoroughly
alarmed sent the bravest twin out the front
way with a note to her brother-in-law.
Mr. Phlox delighted in anything that
could be called proceedings, and in a few
minutes he had the Deputy Sheriff and
two Constables, and went marching down
the principal street with them, to the great
delight of all the small boys of the village.
It was impossible tor the Professor to es
cape. The officers crept round the house
noiselessly. The Sheriff collared him. the
Constables pinioned his arms, Mr. Phlox
grabbed him by the coat-tails, and away he
was walked to the village lock-up.
Mrs. Appledore passed a sleepless night ;
she imagined the whole town was wide
awake and discussing her, and long before
daybreak she had resolved to sell her home
and Dixville bank stcck and move Weat.
" I've got my comeupatice," she groaned.
" I've always been romantic, and wanted a
romance such as I've read about, an' I've
bad one. Oh, dear ! ob, dear '."
About 8 o'clock in the morning there
came a lively rap at the kitchen door, and,
unstrung by excitement and loss of sleep,
she shrieked aloud.
"On'y me; on'y Deacon Bliss," cried a
pleasant voice through the keyhole.
Mrs. Appledore slid back the bolt with
trembling fingers. "How thankful I am,"
she said, holding out her hand ; "I feel so
in need of somebody."
"'1 was fortinet I come along 'jes I did
then," said the Deacon, takingoff his straw
hat and slowly rubbing his face with his
ample bauuaua. It was a shrewd though
benevolent face, framed in waves of iron
gray hair. " I see ye look kinder peeked,
The weather has been tryin'. I've felt it
myself, an' ached in my jints the wust
way."
"It's my eoul, Deacon," wailed the
widow, dropping into a chair and covering
her face with her apron. " I've always
hankered after a romance an' I've had one,
and I wish I was dead and laid beside
Caleb."
"Oh, no ye don't, Miss Appledore,"
said the Deacon in the caressing tone in
which he would address a Bobbing child.
"This world's a pooty good place, an',
with a few exceptions, folks are pooty
good. I come over to fetch a few of my
sweetins', and to tell you thet that there
offer I made ye a spell ago holds good yet.
I rally wish ye'd consider it agin. '
.Mrs. Appledore remained silent behind
her apron.
" Ef ye'd bey me," repeated the Deacon,
in a low voice. " I know I ain't half good
'null and thet I'm kind uv an old fellow,
] but I've got a comi'able place an comf'able
! things in it, and I've been sot on ye this
long spell, as ye knows. I dare cay I was
'tached to Lucy more'n I shall ever be to
anybody agin. We sort uv growed
together like, but so did you and Caleb, an'
I'm sure I'll try ter make ye happy and yer
two little trail, as sweet as two pinks, '11
be to me j-_a' like the little gals I lost."
Mrs. Appledore did not remove her
apron, and after a pause the Deacon fal
teringly continued : "Is'poße 'taint no
use to argy. Folks hez their own idees of
such things ; but anyways I'll stand yer
friend."
The widow rubbed her eyes and slowly
let fall her apron. "I've always had the
greatest esteem for you," she said, with a
little shake in her voice, " but I never
knew how good — how much I think of you.
I will— l "
The Deacon started up, "Will ye?"
Mra. Appledore had taken refuge in her
apron.
" Will ye really, Rosetta?" he repeated.
The bowed head covered in the blue
gingham nodded.
" Ye shan't regret it," said the Deacon,
solemnly and awkwardly laying his big
hand, coarsened by labor, on her shoulder.
" Lord bless the little woman — an' our
home. Our home," he spoke softly as if to
himself. WHS
" P'raps now," he continued after a min
ute, " I'd better drop in an' see him, an' in
telltn' the news I might mention casual like
we're goin' ter be married soon. An' thet
nobody'll trouble anybody thet stays t'hum,
an' thet I'm able to help an eddicated man
to a good place, real neighborly, 'cause my
brother Eben out in Kansas wants a clerk."
Mrs. Appledore said nothing, but the
Deacon seemed satisfied with her silence,
for he did just as he had proposed. Pro
fessor St. Clair Smith was discharged from
jail, and in three days he and his pale little
wife had left Tony Allerton's cottage on
the mile strip to return no more.
In about a fortnight Dr. Ollapod attend
ed a quiet wedding. "You've had a ro
mance at last, Rosetta. I might better
say two of 'em," whispered Mrs. Phlox, as
she gave the bride a sisterly kiss. "The
adoration of the Professor was like things
in a novel book, but mairyin' a man whose
goodness an' farm can't be paralleled in the
country is a romance that has sense in it,
an' I wish you joy." — [Elizabeth Cumings,

A Lady's Toast to the Men.- At a
literary meeting, Mrs. Daniway "toasted"
men as follows ; ''God bless 'em. We
halve their joys, double their sorrows,
treble their expense?, quadruple their
cares, excite their atlVctious, control their
property, and outmsntuver them in every
thing. This would be a very dreary world
without men. In fact, I may say, without
prospect of successful contradiction, with
out 'em it would not be much of a world
anyhow. We love 'em, and the dear be.
ings can't help it ; we control 'em, and the
precious fellows don't know it. As hus
bands, they are always convenient, though
not always on hand ; as beaux they are by
no means matchless. They are most agree
able visitors ; they are handy at State fairs,
and indispensable at oyster saloons. They
are fplen.lid as escorts for some other fel
low's wife or sister, and as friends they are
better than women. As our fathers they
are inexpressibly grand. A man may be a
failure in business, a wreck in constitution,
not enough to boast of as a beauty, noth
ing as a legislator for woman's rights, and
even not very brilliant as a member of the
press, but if he is our own father, we over
look his shortcomings, and cover his pecca
dilloes with the divine mantle of charity.
Then, as our husbands, how we love to pa
rade them as paragons ! In the sublime
language of the inspired poet :
' We'll lie for them,
We'll cry for them,
And if we could we'd fly for them,
We'd do any thin but die for them.' "

Dear Sir : SAMUEL J. DAVIS, ex-County Treas-
urer of Butte county, (Mcd at this place January 3,
188*2, leaving a widow and six small children. lie
left nothinir for their support except the insurance
on bis life. He was a member of Uroviile Lodge, No.
40, A. O. U. VV., and his wife received from that
Lodge $2,000. He also held & policy for $2,500 in
the Company you represent, on which he HAD
PAID NO PREMIUM FOR TWO YEARS, and
which was BELIEVED TO BE WORTHLESS.
However, on making inquiries of >ou, we found that
the policy was on the * - -
Non- forfeitable Plan of Ihr New England
.Mutual Life Insurance Company,
And although the premiums had not been paid for
some time past, yet the policy was good for
$2,418 87, which sum Mrs. Davis hss already re-
ceived. This is a correct statement of the facts in
this case, and it speaks louder in praise cf the Com-
pany you represent than any other words we can use.
Mrs. Davis has the money; it was paid promptly and
with little expense to ber, and it all came from a
policy that was BELIEVED TO BE WORTHLESS.
If coin ** talks" it certainly should in this ca"e, for
she has it, and it came with the greatest possible
dispatch. Very truly yours,

OT Before Insuring in any other company or
joining any co-operative assessment society, care-
fully examine the practical working of the Massa-
chusetts Law of 1 ->-".'. and read the policy contract
