X xrir. Newport, we could easily paddle up to the station, ])ack and deliver our canoes to the freight agent, ascend Prosj)ect Hill, t:ike our last pictures, and leave by the night express. No sooner said than — begun. The home stretch was quickly covered, and with sorrow W ' e unjointed paddles and took our freight receipts. With camera and plates we turned tramps, much to the distrust and sus- j)icion of certain village dogs, and began to climb the hill. “Upon the shore of the romantic Lake Memphremagog, and amid scenery of the most j)ictur- esque character, is situated, etc., etc.” A second time we quote the guide book, and a second time we vote it correct ns regards New|)ort. W(i were so pleased with the view that four different pictures were taken. It was surely as tine as any we ever saw, ])erha])S especially so to us at this time, because, sitting there at our ease, we could look back on the scene of our toils and pleasures of the trip. Spread out before us was the larger part of the lake, as distinct as the village at our feet, and we experienced the i)leasure of a “Stoddard” lecture, as we recounted our various experiences and pointed out the places. “Along the sky, in wavy lines, O’er isle and reach and bay. Green-belted with eternal jiines. The mountains stretch away. Helow, the maple mosses sleep Where shore with water blends. While midway on the tranquil deep The evening light descends.” The map shows a branch of the lake south of Newport; but the view of it, obtained from the cars as we passed, satisfied us. A lunch, a long wait, tlie midnight exjwess for home, and the beginning and ending of our outing were deeds of the night. “If thou art worn and hard beset With sorrows that thou wouldst forget. If thou wouldst read a lesson that will keep Thy heart from fainting and thy soul from sleep. Go to the woods and hills! No tears Dim the sweet look that Nature wears.” (Exeunt 07nnes.) e o C D s ' ® S rl — 3®— OT Oj „ O-K •= u •!§ Wi.El 3 ' £ c8 2 o 5 •. 3 3 «• 3 w 3 tt) ce o O C S 2 ■ 5 ® a 2 B ••• dj ® ti3 ir- 80 0.55 ® 3 § c s 2 i , - I V JS ‘la Of I .5 os S ' stc ni.= ® S i C.S o “js P ' S ' S § 1 ' “ Eio S =“ c“Sr o “ ■ a.£ L.

VoL. III. MILFORD, MASS., MARCH, 1887. No. 7. Leaves from a Trojan Girl’s Diary. (Found in the ruins of ancient Troy) w EDNESDAY NiGHT. Dear me! Wliat is the use of writ¬ ing the same old story every day. Notliing new ever happens in this dis¬ mal city. It is awful mean, the way we are abused. What consolation is there in going ui on the walls or even climhing to the to]) of the highest towers? It is only tantalizing to look at what one can’t have. lany and many an hour have I spent iii watch¬ ing the Samois glimmering in the dis¬ tance among the trees. I have fol¬ lowed its windings with my eye until its hanks seemed almost to meet. How charming it would be to go and see from what shady pooks its first shining waters spring. And then I look to the west and tiie peaceful sea meets my vision. Here and there are lovely little islands. How nice it would be, if we could take a sail some day and have a picnic on that pretty green one. ([ shall be fifteen years old tomorrow. I wish I might cele¬ brate in some way.) Why, last night, mother was telling us stories about the happy (hays, when m 3 brother Ri])heus and I were little, ami then how every thing was changed. She said that ten years ago Prince Paris went to make a visit over in Gre ce. Wiiile there he became acapiainted with beautiful ( ueen Helen, who so charmed him that he thought he couldn’t live with- out her. He staid a good while, but ( 3 ne day, when her husband, Menelaus, was away, Paris and Helen set sail for Troy. How foolish! They might have known it would make trouble. Of course Menelaus imme(liately came after i-er. Oh, what wretchedness might have been prevented if we had at once given her back ! Put no ! Pai ' is would not part with her, and so the Greeks attempted to take her by force. The Trojans resisted, war be¬ gan .and for ten years the Greeks have been lurking around and keeping us in a continual fidget. The idea of all Troy enduring such a siege on ac¬ count of the beauty of one woman! I wish Ripheus was a little older. He says just as soon as he has a chance, he will see what can be done, and I encour.age him all I can. Tiiursdaa Night. Oh, my heart is too full of joy to write a word tonight. The cruel Greeks have sailed aw.ay discouraged. When we awoke this morning we found the camp deserted, and our King Priam declared a glorious holi¬ day. We went right into the camj) just as the Greeks left it. I danced on the very spot where mighty Achil¬ les’ tent was. But the chief attrac¬ tion was a lovely great wooden horse. Nearly every one wanted to take it riafht into the citv; but Laocoon acted as if he was crazy about it. He rushed up and drove his spear right into its side, and said: “This must be a war machine and ])erhaps it contains Gi ' cek soldiers.” What nonsense! Alas! Poor man, befoni the day was done he suffered enough for this insult. Just then we saw some shepherds dragging a c.aptive with his hands tied behind him. Some b.ad boys made fun of him; but he talked so piteously that I .almost cried. He said his name was Sinon, and the Greeks, his own ])eo- ple, are so blood-thirsty that tlu ' y | were going to kill him for a sacrifice; but at the last minute he escaped, and, just think of it, he staid all niglit in the slimy swamp among the brambles. ’Twas awful to hear him tell .about it! Then Priam cheered him up and asked him to tell .all about the splendid great horse. So he told us how the Greeks had the audacit) to ste.al the Palladi¬ um out of the temple. Of course, Minerva was angiy and they have had b.ad luck ever since. Now the have built this horse to appease the goddess and have gone home to re])eat the omens and come back. Who c.ares if I they do, now? We have that beauty of a horse safely in our citj ' , and now Minerva will be kind to us. I know Minerva is on our side, for this morn¬ ing wlien Laocoon was making a sac¬ rifice to Neptune, she sent two horrid, bloody serpents with glaring eyes amt hissing tongues to eat Laocoon’s two little 1 03 S, and then to crush him to death. I thought I should die with fright. Oh, I shudder to think of it! But he deserved to be punished for being so cruel to that magnificent horse. Kiim Pri.am ordered the s.a- O cred creature to be brought into the citv, although we had to tear down a part of the walls to get it in. Besides, lie let the boys and girls tie a rojie around its great neck and help pull it in. It is true we I’an against loose stones and the horse stopped with a jar .and something inside rattled four times on the w.a) ' , but still this may prove a good omen. I never was so tired! My head swims. I am worn out with the pleasures of this da v and I must go to sleep. Friday Night. I cannot believe I am awake. The scenes I h.ave passed through today are too horrible even to dream of. How can I believe it? Laocoon was right. Sinon is the basest of the Greeks. The cruel monster did con¬ tain armed men, and to think I helped bring them in ! Why did we not heed the omens! My dreams last night were terrible, but not more so than the realities of today. I awoke this morning to find our hou.se in fiames, and being idundered by savage Greeks, who were dragging my mother .and father from their rooms, and before I could reach them, their life blood was staining the fioor. Just then Ripheus rushed in, bidding me he quiet, for he said we had reason to be thankful that the Greeks caused our parents to die so (piickly. He assured me it
