that the crop of 1889 will be one-;hird shorter
than the crop of 1893. The causes ASSIGNED
for this deficiency are, first, protracted
drought IN the spring that was severely felt
through the whole south. Then the rains
which succeeded the drought, fell in such tor
rent rents as to cause many of the forms to drop.
Inc worms also about this period did vast in
Jury In many parts of the country. 1.-THE lat
ter part of the season had proved propitious.
the harvest might still have been an AVERAGE
one; but drought, only equalled by the dTy
spell OF the spring, has, until within a few
days at least, pervaded the south, causing the
weed to shed not only the forms, but the Young
Dolls also. AS dry season is favorable to
cotton In Louisiana, where the land is chiefly
aiiuvlal and moist, the product here may not
tall much short-but in every other state the
deficiency will be as great as is represented.

THE VOICE OF FREEDOM.
MONTPELIER SATURDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1889.
Winter Operations.

The Executive Committee of the State Anti
Slavery Society, counting on the prompt co-ope-
ration of the friends of humanity, have made a
liberal outlay in the purchase of books, suitable
for town and district braries-the prices of the
different Libraries ranging from five to thirty dol
lars. A number of book agents are already in
the field, busily employed in scattering these treas
ures among the hardy yeomanry of the State.
We take occasion to suggest to societies not al
ready provided with libraries, the importance Of
taking early measures for supply. In almost
any of our towns, an active young man will only
need to devote few hours TO procuring the re-
qusite sum, We confess that we have been sur
prised to learn with what aacrity our agents have
been met, in many places where little or nothing
had been before attempted. Special attention
should be given to the circulation of the Almanac
for 1910, Yields "Slavery as it is" and Jay
View. Let us not be forgettul of the admonition,
Be not weary in we'll doing.

" Yes" she said, she was Methodist in

asked her if she did not know that it was wicked
to live so. Her reply was Eyes, but n1ass0 makes

Since my return several of my friends have

Aristocratic InsOlence.

The Editor of the Herald of Freedom speaks in
the following terms Of the insolent demand of the
rum-oving, pro-slavery ma jorityI of pew-holders
in Hollis street church, that Mr.. Pierpoint should
give them his undivided attention
A little ertroragant in their demand--these
-holders,--to claim 'ua,divided attention OF
any MAINLAND such an attention as PlERPolNT's
for whose boundess scope, the little globe they
live on, is all to narrow-and the starry scope a.

unwary expression oil Hollis street, of the insoent
despotism of wealth 1t thinks every thing pur-
chasable with money. In their estimation. it would
make the mare GO not only, but the man CO.
But they have here mistaken their man, we think
if they don't mistake in their doctrine. These
overgrown folks demand the personal indepen-
denee ofevery one they employ. Their physi-
cian-they will pay him fatty, but they must have
his liberty in return He must bestow on their
turtle fed corpuses his whole time and his 'undi-
yded attention. He must not sleep, or wink, if
high living visit upon heir opulent toes rctribu-
tive twinge OF the gout-and least of all may he
divide his attention, between them and the poor
patient. They pay him, and it is with the under
standing that they TO receive his undivided at

can dine and give dinners. Then he may d1rade

and his abundant means of filling it. And 50
with the lawyer. While he is poor, his attention
mus. not be Serered. 1t must be anti and devo-
ted to his patrons They pay him and he must
keep his attention concentrated. But soon
as he can mount his name on one of the mahoga-
ny doors Of Common Street, or wherever proper
~ aud standing SETS up its haunts, he becomes
lord of his own attention, and may distribute it,
with his portly peers, among the pompous moth
ings, whereon they wind up their wasted proba-
ton.
And they must keep their minister too. Him
