The Vermont Aurora of the 9TH says, it is
ao.b,Gal whether choice of Governor has
been made, but seems to think it possible that
Mr. Butler may be elected. General Strong
and Mr. Olin received most of the votes in Yer
gsnues and the neighboring towns. For Rep
rsssu,alives in the goth Congress, Messrs.
Mallary and Wells are reelected, in the second
and third districts; and it is thought Mr.. Al
len has succeeded in the fourth, and Mr.. Buck
in the fifth districts.

The Editor Of the New York Commercial
Advertiser, speaking ofthe western authorizes
Mrs. Royall-hopes that the manner in which
she has used letters of introduction will be a
warning to great men, to be little more eau
tious as 10 whom anG what they write. The
Editor remarks that a number Of living great
men, who, to rid themselves of her importuni-
ties, have indiscreetly given their names TO an
impudent old woman who is strolling about the
country, will likewise see by this mornings En-
quirer, to what base uses their names are liable
to be put The line of duty is plain, when ig-
norance, impudence, imposture and quackery,
strive to maintain themselves by the force of
great names. These names should always be
refused; for, like the woman who married her
husband to get rid of him, although one may be
worried into letter Of Recommendation, or in
reduction, yet it will often happen that it will
be the cause of regret through life. How must
Gov. Wolcott, and other distinguished gentle
men feel, to see their names banded thus about
by babbing, backbiting and slanderous old
termagant!'

MATERNAL INSTRUCTION.

That man is happy, who is taught from the
cradle nothing which he must unIearn when he
comes to ripper years. The baby nonsense of
the nursery often enters into the character of
the man, but when 50 good and wise being
as a well educated mother presides over the in
ciplcnt stages of infant thought, the child is far
on, in the high road of knowledge and wisdom
1t may be true, that there have been men who
have overcome bad infant education; but they
have been few: this was the historic meaning
OF the fable Of Hercules stranglng the Python
in the cradle. The tales of the nursery, lratcd
ny atfcctonatc ignorance, are the worst Of ser
HentS they reach the heart and the brain in
the lullaby and leave the poison for ever. To
overcome these evils is worthy of an apothesis.
The MINISTRIES Of every age have sung The pow
ers, the charms, and the character of woman:
Firm on the scaff"ld, she has stood,
Besprinkied with martyrs blood;
Her voice the patriots heart has steePd;
Her spirit glowed on battlefield
Her courage freed from dungeons gloom
The captive. broodng Ger his doom

THE TRAVELLER.
rom CARRIERS LETTERS FROM EUROPE


The society at the English watering places
appears to be much the same as at ours. 1t is
an assembIage of all classes, thrown promiscn-
ously together, and left to assert themselves in
to coteries, according to their several atlinties
They breakfast and dine at a common table,
which is very unusual at the hotels in this coun-
try At dinner, those salutary rules as to dress
and etiquette, which govern polite society, are
observed; and at tea, they assemble in the
drawing room, as the members of one family.
Music, dancing, conversation. cards or other
amuscments, constitute the pleasures of the
evening. On the nj ght of our visit, a large par
ty OF LADIES and gentlemen formed a circle and
amused themselves with ''Jack at all trades"
or " do as | do" putting successfully every
limb in motion and producing not little noise.
In the midst Of the sport, word came that the
Bishop Of London was i'll the room below, and
that his mcdtatlons might be disturbed BY the
Earring of the ceiling but the social circle seem
ed to be of the opinion. that the eccesiast-
cal jurisdiction of this dignitary did not extend
TO the courts Of pleasure above, and they there
fore proceeded in their amusements.
The Duke of York and the Duke of Devon
shire, with a party of ladies, were at Matlock
the day before our arrival, and we therefore
missed the opportunity of seeing them From
descriptions by those who were present, the
style in which their Highncsscs appeared must
have been ludcrous enough One of the car
rages was drawn by three horses. two Of which
were hanessed SO as to go sidc~nw in the road,
instead of straight forward, 1t is said to be the
Russian mode of riding. The positions were in
livery, fashionable in the country Of the Gar.
Such is the folly in which high life will some
times indulge, for the sake of distinction aud
to make the multitude stare! If an ordinary
person had been guilty of such whim he
would have been set down for a mailman or
fool but as it orgnatcd with persons of quality,
all the iashlonabes in the kingdom will probably
hereafter ride in the same way"

.4ieccdote Of the ute .2adrcor FUIlcr.
1t is related of this worthy man remarkable
TOR his righteousness and simplicity Of manners,
that on tour which he made for tue purpose of
soliciting donations for the Baptist mission in
India he called ON a certain wealthy loid in Eng
land, who was not personally acquainted With
Mr.. Fuller, but had heard Of his di,nterestcd
labors in the cause of missions, and the report
of his talents and piety. After he had stated to
HIM the object of his visit, the lord observed.
that he thought he should make HIM no dona
ton; and Mr.. Fuller was preparing to retire:
when the former observed, that there was one
man. Andrew Fuller, TO whom, if he could see
him, he thought he would give something for
the mission. Mr. +. Immediately Observed
= My name, SIT, is Andrew Fuller" On this,
the nobleman, with some degree of coldne>>
gave him guinea Observing the indifference
with which the money was presented, Mr.. Full
Ter, looking the nohIcman in the face with much
gravity, addressed him with this Interrogation
Does the gift, sir, proceed from your heart
If IT does not, wish not to receive it, The no
bleman, melted and overcome with this honest
trankness, spontaneously took from his purse
and presented him ten guincas more, with this
remark there, SIR, tbs Games from ma HEARTi'
1t was an important idea with Mr. Fuller, to
enforce this sentiment, that men should do good
from good motive. On certain occasion
when he preached a charity sermon, after stat
ing to his hearers their duty in the case, he
warned them against giving from the opinion OF
thereby nerIting the favor Of God and instead
Of fatterlng them in order to draw from them
their money, he plainly stated to them, = II any

QuINTIN MAsTYs, the celebrated Flemish

changing his profession was as follows While
pursuing his calling as a blacksmith. he fell in
love with the dauShte of painter, and on az
plying to the father for leave to marry received
the repulsiye answer, that none but an artist
should ever receive iler at bis hands Piuucd al
this reply, he laid down the hammer and took
up the pencil, studied dgcnty, travelled into
Italy, and in a short time returned to Antwerp.
and entering the Cathedral privately he paint

SATURDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY II, 1926

We have the satisfaction Of presenting the
first number Of the third volume to a majority
Of those who received the first and second vo-
lumes, and to many new friends who have en-
rolled themselves on our list Towards those
who are so steadfast in their patronage, we Ger
tainly entertain the strongest feelings of graft
tude they seem determined that it shall not be
said Of all literary works in this country, they
have only an ephemeral existence"-like perish
able flowers, s. born but to blush and die The
GARLAND was not commenced with a view to
pecuniary reward, as its very low price fairly
indicates; its principal object was to excite Z
love of literature among that sex whose inlu-
cnce is felt in every society, and whose mental
accomplishments shed charm over every
of life For their edification it will be con
tinued; and if the Editor shall but succeed in
securing TIER appreciation, he will obtain a re-
ward which he will prize as pearl without
price"

From the Philadelphia Gazette, Sent. lS


We have before US a letter from very re-
spectacle mercantile house in Aux Cages, which
contains transcript of newspapers Slip
purporting to have been issued from the "Na-
tional Star" printed at New York, June Is,
1926. The following paragraph is the infor-
nation intended to be conveyed by the slip or
extra.
We are happy to receive the information by
friend from Washington, that the Secretary
of the Navy Of the United States, has given or
ders that some Of our first rate vessels of war.
be forthwith made ready for sea.
Their destination in the first instance. is the
island of Hayti, where the commodore will de-
mand prompt and ample reparation for the in
juries which has been for so many years infiict-
ed upon the American commerce in the differ
ent ports of that island. Efficient measures
will also be taken for the protection of the per-
sons and property of Americans now resident
there, and more particularly to demand that all
debts due by individuals to American mer-
chants, shall De Immediately adjusted, or some
pledges given on the part of the Haytien gov
eminent, that these debts Shall eventually be
paid.
No such paper as the National Star, has, to
our knowledge, ever been published in New
York; and it would be difficult to imagine what
could induce any one to resort to such means Of
