I'oth iviivH at the same time, it would very
likely tear the depot all to pieces before the
car could be shunted in on 1 he siding and then
we'd have a brand new one built, and in that
ease we should undoubtedly have a bis; meet
ing at Hawleyvilie ot all the prominent rail
road men connected with the Consolidated,

with champagne sauce, a la pollywog, ami af
ter dinner we'd have toasts anil spcet h mak

knee and they'd sing old college sonys and
drink Mrs W'inslow's soothing syrup, aiul tell
how they used to go to school in the same lit
t le red school house, and roast chestnuts ovel
t he same tire, and would remind each other
how much better it is lor 'brethren to dwell
t off el her in peace and unity," and mutual tears
ot repentance would roll down and make a
record on Mr Mel. coil's immaculate shirt
trout, and then they'd smoke the pipe ot
peace and till it up "not only seven times, but
seventy limes seven," and let bygonen be by
gones and agree to join hands in building a
line, large union depot and vie with each oth
er in each stri ving to pay more than his share,
and the new depot would have both a ladies'
and a rent's waiting room and a stove with a
real tire in it, and they'd have toilet rooms,
and light, pleasant freight oflicea, and a cana
ry bird and a parrot hung in the ladies wait
ing room, and the whole thing would be cov
ered with trcsli paint all over the outside and
they'll do everything to make it real home
like and pleasant, and while they were in this
frame ot iniml and lull ot smoke and syrup
and good thoughts, linker would step across
and suggest a more Iriendly interchange ol
freight rates, so that furniture could be trans
ferred Irom one road to the other without
breaking the ten commandments, and perhaps
suggest a comparison and revision ol passen
ger time-tables and connections. This latter,
however, would work untold lniurv to linker.
as now everybody expects a long wait at I la w-
leyvine and tney go prepared to pass away
the time, buying tuiniture. We thought what
a wondertul change tor the hetter all this
would make, but come to look around there
wasn't a thunder cloud in sight. We had in
our vest pocket a box of these patent sweed
safety matches, but never having had occa
sion betore to fin; otl a car ot gunpowder we
didn't know just how to do it, not even with a
safety match, and we. telt a little atraid, al
though when a resident of Colorado we used
to hunt with and occasionally tire off a Sharp's
buffalo gun, which, we take it, amounts to
about the same thing so far as general near
by results art! concerned, but we have grown
timid since then and we let, the opportunity
and the car pass, so, dear iriends, yon will
have to put up with the old depot a while lon
ger. It makes no difference to us personally,
we are only kicking on general principles,
just because others do and because we like to
go a it h the popular crowd. We ean sell just
as much lurniiure with the old depot in front
ot us with its one dingy waiting room, but if
you don't like it you must step across and kill
iime, while waiting tor trains, in our waiting

MILLINERY AND CLOAKS.
Just opposite the soldiers' monu
ment, at 185 Main street, Danbury is a
large display. It is worth seeing if you
are out shopping and comprises a full
line of millinery and cloaks in the lead
ing styles. Stern & Harris are the firm,
and invite a careful inspection and cor
dial reception.
If you are contemplating purchasing a
piano write to M. Steinert & Sons Co.,
359 Main street, Bridgeport, or 777 Chap
el street, New Haven, Conn. They will
mail you, free, beautifully illustrated
catalogues of Steinway & Sons, and Er
nest Gabler & Bro's. pianos. They have
constantly on hand a large assortment
of second hand pianos of every promi
nent maker, both in uprights and squares,
in which you can always secure a bar
gain. An important announcement in regard
to seasonable goods will be found in W.
B. Hall's advertisement, this week.
You can never have a really good
complexion until the impurity is cleansed
from your blood. What you need is a
course of Ayres' sarsaoarilla. which
is absolutely free from all harmful in-
gredient-s, and therefore, perfectly safe.
No. bad results from taking Hill's
chloride of gold tablets, while the cure
is permanent. Druukenes?, tobacco and
opium habit positively cured.
Ayer's hygienic coll'ee can be used any
time of day or night with benefit. Gro.
cers sell it.
If, when crossing a railroad track,
you see a train approaching at thirty
miles an hour get out of the way
as soon as possible. When threatened
with chronic rheumatism or catarrh,
take Ayer's sarsaparilia persistently and
patiently, and the danger will soon pass
away.
The Age, published in Jewett, Ohio,
says: "We carry but one patent medi
cine 'ad,' that of J. C. Ayer & Co., Low
ell, Mass., and would not do this were it
not that the firm is as square in its deal
ings as any bank, and its preparations of
the very highest class. The life of the
editor's better half was once saved by
the use of Ayer's sarsaparilia, after the
physicians had failed to give her relief.''
Something new, Mealine soap, cures
rough and chapped hands. Grocers and
druggists keep it.
BISHOP WILLIAMS IN TOWN.
AT TRINITY.
A very large audience greeted Bishop
Williams at Trinity church on Sunday
morning, many visitors Irom otner con
gregations being present. The bishop
gave a forcible discourse, speaking with
out notes. Like all his public utterances,
the sermon was characterized by clear
ness and simplicity. The bishop chose
his text from 2d Kings 4 : 11-12. He
first analyzed the conduct of Naaman,
who was offended at the simplicity of
the cure proposed by Elisha. The bish
op discovered in .Naaman s objections,
the personal slight to himself, the sim
plicity of the remedy proposed and his
offence at the passing by and underval
uing the rivers of her country. In ap
plying the truth the bishop said the sin
ner must first recognize her great sinful
ness ; the loathsomeness of sin. There
are some people, said the bishop, when
the gospel of repentance is preached to
them, who will turn away because of the
simplicity of the Gospel. Then again,
the bishop pointed out, there are many
people who are asking for signs. But
the great sign of Christ's church to-day
and all days is the preaching of the Gos
pel to the sick, the halt and the blind.
God works, not by surprises or sensa
tions, but by the still operations of His
Spirit. These people who are asking
for signs forget to use the daily means
of grace. In closing the bishop referred
to the World's congress of religions at
Chicago and paid a tribute to Christian'
ity as the religion for all peoples, and
creeds and climes. A class of lb was
confirmed at the close of the service.
AT ST JOHN'S.
St John's church at Sandy Hook waa
filled with a large audience, last Sunday
evening, to greet Bishop Williams and
witness the act of confirmation to 12 can
didates. Kev Mr Wright, rector of the
church, aud Rev Mr Linsley, assisted in
the service. The sermon was preached
by the bishop, he taking for his text the
words found in Ephesians 2:22, "In
whom ye also are builded together for
habitation of God through the spirit,"
and from Romans 14:12, "So then .every
one of us shall give account of himself to
God." He spoke of the first passage as
representing men living together in soci
ety and the need of daily contact and pic
tured out how dwarfed and disfigured
was human character when isolated. The
second passage represented the soul's in
dividual responsibility to God and there
must be a blending of both truths, as one
balanced the other. Man was created to
be "builded together" and at the name
time he must not forget his individual re
sponsibility to his Maker. He spoke of
the tendency of human nature to grasp
one idea, or one side of a truth and run
away with it and forget to be broad
minded and take the whole truth. He
made a practical application of his text
to church membership, urging that while
they were united to Christ's kingdom
they forget not that they bear an ind
vidual responsibility and not alone let
their membership in the kingdom suffice
men at work. He has cut off large tracts
of timber in this and other towns. Last
year he cut off quite a strip of timber
near Sandy Hook on land of McGuire
and Lester. He has a steam saw mill
and gets out both sawed and hewed ties.
In the course of a year he gets out 16,000
to 18,000 ties. Mr Taylor says that the
chestnut makes a superior tie to any
other wood and is preferred by railroad
men generally. Oak ties are used some,
but will not last as long as chestnut, al
though the wood is harder. Mr Taylor
is a veteran in his business, having got
ten out ties all along the Danbury and
Norwalk, and in various towns in Litch
field county. Just now the market for
ties is rather quiet, as many of the roads
are not buying to any extent.
Charles Tomlinson awoke the morning
after Hallowe'en night and found his
large front gate among the missing.
After searching, the gate was found
perching on the Burr house roof waiting
to be redeemed.

How many timed do 1 love thee, dear?
Tell me bow many thoughts there be
In the atmosphere
Of a new tall'n year.
Whose white and sable hours syipear
The latest flake of eternity
So many times do I love thee, dear.
How many times do I love, a;iain?
Tell me how many beads there are
In a silver chain
Ot evening rain
l iiiavelled from the tumbling main
And threading the eye Ol a yellow star
So many times do I love again.

A niSTOniC PAINTING
entitled Pocahontas we noticed. It was
12 by 10 feet and contained 34 figures. It
represented Pocahontas, the daughter of
Powhatan, a child of 10 or 12 years, and
dearly beloved by her father, saving the
life of Capt Smith. Smith has been cap
tured by Opechancanough, a powerful
chieftain of the Pamunky Indians. He
was regarded by the savages as a super
ior being and was treated with kindness,
though kept a close prisoner. He is
brought at length into the presence of
Powhatan, and condemned to death. Two
great stones are then brought into the
assembly, and laid before the king. The
captain is seized and dragged to the
stones, forced down and his bead laid
upon them. Two brawny savages are
selected to beat out his brains with their
clubs. The painting is designed to rep.
resent this last act. Pocahontas has pre
viously plead with her father to spare the
life of Capt Smith. She failed to excite
his pity. As the clubs of these warriors
are raised to do the death deed,
SHE STRINGS FORWARD
at the moment and throws herself by bis
side, claps ber arms about his neck and
laid her head upon his to protect him
from the impending stroke. This re
markable action in one so young moved
the savages with profound astonishment.
It seemed to them that it was the will of
the great Manitou, that the .captain
should be spared. This was not the on
ly thing done, but they sought his friend-
Ship. He was given to Pocahontas to
make beads and bells for ber, and to
weave for her ornaments of copper. Her
fondness for him grew stronger every
day and ceased only with ber life. . After
a while Capt Smith was allowed to
RETURN TO JAMESTOWN
on condition that be should send to King
Powhatan two cannon and a grindstone.
He showed the Indians who accompanied
him to Jamestown the cannon, two of the
largest and asked them to lift them. This
was impossible, nor did they succeed
with the grindstone any better. He then
fired off i.be cannon that so frightened
them that they would bare nothine to do
with them. Rev A.. Gardner, Warren,
