There cannot help being a deep in- terest in the statement made by Am bassador Bakhmetieff that' Russia in. tends to give Poland complete inde- pendence and that it is planning a wide degree of self government for It will be of especial interest to Ber- lin to learn that a larger number of Americans are going to France this summer than usual. The potato bugs find that more peo- ple are taking an imterest in them than usual this year. It is a popularity though that is Kkilling. Illinois has had serfous riots be- fore, but had anvone predicted a month ago that it was to experience its recent race trouble, he would have been laughed to scorn. The next auto driver who has a dis- position to race a fast express, or in fact any locomotive, for a railroad croseing, should’ stop and reflect upon the outcome of just such an experi- ment in Steubenville, O. where all but one of the five occupatits of the car were killed. The express won and was undamaged. If you want that boy or girl of yours to grow up right and be a credit to you, do not begin to tell them thay are good for nothing when théy are young and err. No boy is ever more than half as stupid as he seems to be to his father: and no girl is quite as useless as she seems to be to her mother. Too many chitdren are humored in their ill-conceived notions instead of corrected: and too many are ruined Dby being called names. Telling children they are dishonest, or that they are liars, or that thev are good for nothing: is not the way to give them confidence in themselves, or to awaken in them a spirit of honor. Children need be led not lambasted— they need be counselled, not cursed. To start children on the road to ruin just taunt them with your low esti- mate of them.

To every household in the land, North and South, as Mr. Giiman re- ‘minds us, the war brought deep sar- row for the loss of kindred and friends, while to many it brought also peculiar hardship and even destitu- tion: but it determined forever that no state may of its own volition se- cede from the Union: it abolished slavery; and guaranteed that the right of no citizen of the United States to vote shall be abridged on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude. In the profonged conflict, Norwich did her full share of loval patriotic serv- ice. Her citizens, poured out money for the cause like water: her sons eager'y volunteered for active Serv. ice: mothers, sisters, wives, like min- istering angels of mercy, cooperating | with the constituted authorities, were unceasing in their efforts to relieve suffering on the field and in hospitals, and as far as possible to mitigate the Lorrors of war. Norwich has not forgotten these wholly guiltiess for the waywardness and wickedness of many of these young people. I do not believe any woman enjoys arrying a ten deliar purse with noth- ing in it but a few carfares, a safety pin and a few samples of dry goods. ‘But a married man who credits him self with a'l his successes and his wife with all his failures is mean enough to equip his wife in such a way. A man deesn’t think it is mec- essary to have more than a 30 cent purse, for he pulls his roll of bills out of his hip pocket, or from inside his vest. Somehow a woman carries a purse as if it was something to make a show of: but a man never has one. fit for exhibition purposes. When it comes to currency the man has his wad, while the woman has her limit. It seems to me there is a class of men who carry fine wallets wadded with paper to form a basis for credit to which they are nét entitied. There is considerable art in seeming: and eeming has no sex timit. If woman cannot keep a secret she can conceal the meanness of her mate and make ¢ to be worthy of her.

The most pathetic thing about | the death of our friends is not in any loss to those who go out into the iarger life of heaven, but in the bruised and shatterel state of those left behind. It is hard indeed to take the burden up Where our dear ones have laid it down. Tt is so verv hard that some times. people even fail to make the attempt. King David mourning for his son Absalom in his chamber over the gate. while the bus- iness of state was neglécted, is a case in_peint. By way of contrast, take the re- markable words of the prophet Pzekiel: “At even my wife died, and 1 did in the morning as 1 was com- manded.” His private griefs were not allowed to intrude upon s publi dutiés. A modern counterpart is [he’ great Englishman John Bright, sit- ting in the shadows of his bereaved home, but rousing himself, at the sug- gestion of a friend, to work for the repealing of tihiose corn laws _that spefled misery for the poor of his country. The loudest call that comes to any of us in this vale of tears is.to he up and doing at our appointed task. To rally all our powers, to resist every temptation to sioth or disheartenment, to do our “bft' 'for human weifare while time for us shall ast, this is a good gospel for the day to thousands of waiting lives. “Carry .on,” then! It Is a word of grace for any who loiter or merely grieve along the hishway of life. The time i€ ehort and there is much to do in it. We shall never reach any sort of victory by half-hearted en- deavor. The “slackers” in life are not only those who scheme to avold mil- itary service. They are such as re- fuse, through fear or sioth or moral cowardice, to stand up to tasks that God appeints. The only remorse in the world to come will spring from the recoliection of human years| wasted. And why should that regret be the portion of any?

It is an interesting fact, Mr. Gil- man_recalls, that four presidents of the United States have been received under the hosptiable Toof of this Butk- ingham mansion.

Mr. Editor: Once more the president of the United States has called for volunteers to fill the ranks before re- sorting to draft. Once more the governor of Connecticut ealls on Its Youth in the eleventh hour to come forward and present its self and. so uphold the traditions of the state. This grand old- state, that has ever been the back bone of the nation, calls on its younz men to stand forth on the cause of justice and right. Where are the sons and grandsons of the men who in '61 and '65 upheld the syndard of Liberty? Have they wandered away from the home of their forefathers and ieft their ranks to be filled with aliens who care not for the traditions of the fathers of our country. Where is the spirit that was shown in 18622 In an address de- livered by Governor Buckingham in Brooklyn, Conn.. July 18, 1862, much faith was placed in Connecticut's pa- triotism.
