A TOUCHING NARRATIVE.

An eminent clergyman one evening became
the subject of conversation, and wonder was
expressed that he had never married. sTha,
wonder, said Miss p, was once ex.
pressed 10 the reverend gentleman in nv near
ing; and he told me story, in answer, which
| will tell you: and perhaps, slight as it may
seem. il is the history of other hearts as sensi
tive and delicate as his own. Soon after his
ordination he preached once every sabbath
for clergyman in a small village, mol twenty
miles from London. Among his auditors
from Sunday 10 Sunday, he observed young
lady who always occupied certain seat, and
whose close attention began insenslbly to grow
an object of thought and pleasure. She left
the church as soon as service was over; and il
SO CHANGED that he went on for a wear without
knowing her name; bat his sermon was never
written without many thought how she would
approve 1t, nor preached with satisfaction un-
less he read appreciation in her face.
Gradually he came 10 think of her at other
times than when writing sermons, and to wish
to see her on other days than SUNDAYS; but the
weeks slipped on; and though he fancied that
she grew paler and thinner, he never brought
himself TO the resolution either 10 ask her
namo or TO speak with her. By these silent
steps, however, love had worked into his heart.
and he made up his mind to seek her acou,in,.
ancc and marry her, when one day he was
sent for 10 minister at a funeral. The face of
the corpse was the same that had looked I'D to
him Sunday after Sunday. till he had learned
10 make it part of his religion and his life.
He was unable 10 perform the service, and an
other clergyman present oiiiciated; and after
she Was hurled her father took him aside and
begged his pardon for giving him pain, but he
could moi resist the impulse to tell hIm thai his
daughter had mentioned his name with her last
breath, and he was afraid that concealed af.
fiction for him had hurried her to the grave.
Since that time, said the clergyman in ques-
ton, my heart has been dead within me, and
| look forward only.--l shall speak to her in
heaven

PRODUCTION OF SUGAR IN YER
HONT

d. nur rralers know that next 10 Louisiana
Vermont is The greatest sugar producing state
IN the Uuiur according TO her population?
Such is the fact. According to the report of
The coumss' oncr of patents, who is required
by law to report agricultural statistics, Yer
mont produces 5,II9,264 lbs of sugar lover
1859 rons) in 1910, being upwards of II lbs.
10 each in abilant. At 5 CTS per 10. this gives
$3.50, 953-b, ing more than one fifth the val
Az of wool al 30 cts per lb. But this a.
4nount We are confident is very far short of
that actually produced in 1910; it certainly is
very fac below the quantity produced this year.
We understand thai large number Of the far
mers Of of Barre gave 10 their returns of this
years produce Oh last Saturday week, from
which, the produce then for the town was es-
timsied al over 10 TONS and the probable "a
noun, for tho season WAS set down at 100
tons. The population of that town is 2I26-
amount produced, over liz lbs. TO each in
habitant. The same proportion throughout
the state would 32,6GS.532 lbs.-lhat is over
I6 thousand tons, worth al 3 cts. per ID s ,634-
90S-teing more than the whole value of the
WOOL This mere estimate, it is true; yet
we think it safe 10 say, that the sugar produced
in Vermont this year will be worth one million
dollars 1t five cents per Id. When we remem.
Der that sugar is produced with very little ac-
tual expense, and at a time when agricultural
labor cannot otherwise be employed, it proves
TO he branch of business whose importance
has been altogether moderated. We think
we have not even now presented 1t as strongly
as we might. Add the fact that not one half
of the sugar NAPLES in the Stae arc used, and
that the business is not Systematically entered
into. and ii would be probably safe 10 say, that
the flrmers Of Vermont can. if they choose to
do so, produce more than double the amount
above estimated. 1t is subject worthy of the
attention of the farmers-and Of Congress too.
Sugar must be protected; and we are glad to
see that it is embraced in the tariff bi.-W.

worn by peasants, thrown negligently over her
bright hair, and shading her face, which was
all roses and smiles-her shape quite uncon-
fined,as was the case with each, as pliable and
waving as dancing girl, her step like a dry
ad, her eye like gazclle : in fact, as the whole
party formed into line and accompanied us
through the aisles and cloIsters of the abbey,
could not help thinking they looked like a
band of young priestesses, chosen for their
beauty to officiate at the shrine of some pagan
deity, as they walked along with their arms
entwined around each other, and the charming
heads peered over the pretty shoulders, while
explanations of all the wonders of their domicil
pouted from their lips. They all appeared to
possess remarkable talent, some for drawing
and painting, some for music and singing and
we were delighted during our long visit, by the
evidence given us of The latter accomplishment.
One of the finest instruments, by Pope, ever
heard, was touched with consummate skill by
her whom considered the most beautiful of
this lovely community of aunt-mothers and
life neices.

THE LAST REVOLUTIONARY.
BY J. E. DOW.

Oh, where are they, those iron men
Who brayed the battle storm of fire,
When wars wild halo filled the glen,
And lit each village humble spire;
When hill sent each the sound to hill,
And might was right, and law was will.
Oh, where are they whose manly breasts
Beat back the pride of England's might,
Whose stalwart arms laid low the crests
OfmaDy an old and valiant knight;
When evening came with murderous flame,
And liberty was but a name,
| see them in the distance, form
Like spectres on misty shore
Before them rolls the dreadful storm,
And hills send forth their rills of gore;
Around them death, with lightning breath,
Is twining an immortal wreath.
They conquer! God of glory, thanks!
They conqueri Freedoms banner waves
Above expressions broken ranks,
And withers DER her children's graves;
And loud and long the pealing song
OF Jubilee is borne along.
IT'S evening, and December's sun
Goes swiftly down behind the wave;
And there see grey-haired one,
A special courier to the grave;
he looks around on valve and mound,
Then falls upon his battle ground.
Beneath him rests the hallowed earth,
Now changed, like him, and still, and cold
The blood that gave young freedom birth,
No longer warns the warrior old;
he waves his hand with stern command,
Then dies the last of glory's land.

A REMARKABLE FAMILY.

The following account ola remarkable fam
lily in France, celebrated no less for their sim
gular beauty, than for their continual intermar-
rying, is from the lately published work, by
Miss Costello. entitled pilgrimage to Au.
vergne;"
During our stay at Montbard, to whose OK
cellent countess and her society we are indebted
for much attention and politeness, we accom-
panied some friends of hers to visit family in
the neighborhood, who are remarkable in ma
ny ways; in the first, from their residence al
the ancient abbeys of Fontenai next, from
their bearing the names of Mongolfer and Sc
gum and lastly from their singular beauty
The head of this family is son to the well
known Mongolfer, whose discoveries of The
power of balloons have made his name familiar.
He has great many daughters and nieces,
married, all of whom live in his house, and
each of whom is more or less beautiful. 1t is
a sight to astonish stranger TO see the draw
ing room, into which one is ushered, filled by
degrees with a crowd oflovely young girls, few
of them above twenty, some with one infant,
some with several as pretty as their mothers,
and to hear that all these are sisters and cous-
ins they all, it seems, marry relations, some
so near as to startle English and Protestant
ideas of propriety. One exqusitely lovely
young women-a perfect Hour, with dark
eyes, for instance, was the wife of her uncle,
the brother of her mother, and the father of
her cousin, who was the wife of her brother,
and thus her daughter and her sister. This
last was also as beautiful as can be conceived,
and so young, that when she produced an in.
FAINT, it appeared almost fable to consider her
as a mother. Another of these nymphs was
a widow, with sweet, melancholy expression
in her magnificent dark eyes, quite enchanting.
The youngest married sister-cousin entered
the room with the only single one of the party,
not so regularly handsome as the rest. but full
of grace, vivacity and brilliancy. She had a
large straw hat, with a blue riband, such as is
