APRINTERsS MOTTO.

Aldus Minutius, a Venitian was
one Of the most accomplished ar
fists in the infancy Of the divine art
of printing. His editions are still
sought for as of great value, and
highly priced by connoisseurs and
bibIiomaniacs. Modem publishers,
Pickering of London, our townsmen
billiard & Gray, and the AppIetons
Of New-York, have been proud to
rank themselves as his disciple and
have copied on their title-pages his
symbol Of a dolphin winding round
an anchor. They and their readers,
perhaps, do not all know the mean
ing or origin of this emblem. Car
dinal Bombo, distinguished poet and
prelate of the time, presented to AL
dus a medal Of Vcspasian, thereverse
Of which bore this device Of the dol
phin and anchor. Aldus showed the
present TO Erasmus, at that time his
friend. Erasmus. remalking that
the anchor was the ensign Of stabili-
ty, and the dolphin Of swiflness, ex-
claimed that the whole typi6ed the
war which learning made upon ig-
norance, or, as he would say in our
day, between progress" and " the
past" >Aldus was pleased with the
Interpretation, and made the device
the symbol Of his labors.
He was no less distinguished in
his own time than he has been made
since. Princes, popes, and cardin-
ais were proud Of his society. Luz
cretia Bolgia, as beautiful and ac-
complished as wicked, as we'll as her
admirer Cardinal Bembo, watched
with deep interest the progress Of
his art, and offered to delray the
whole expenses Of his infant enter
prise. must die" said she, 'but
thus l shall be useful after death.'-
The first pages which passed from
the press of AIdus, indeed, contained
an eulogy on his patron beauty.
And yet, in the midst Of the hon
ors and 1latteiies which surrounded
him ;-in the very infancy Of his art,
Aldus felt the pressure of a calamity
which has oppressed every one who
has been since connected, in any
manner, with his craft. We find
that he was obliged to place over the
door Of his Office a Latin inscription,
of which the following lines are a
translation:
" Whoever you arc--a thousand
times | ask it,-say quickly what
you have to say to me, and depart
in haste; unless YOU would aid Her
cules who is bearing up the world"
We hope that the lesson was af-
fective on the patrons Of the Ven
etian printer. 1t has been lost on all
the generations which have followed
him.

LAST AS LONG AS PossIBLE.-A writer in
the American Farmer gives these hints
to the growers and consumers of thi.
capital vegetable-good boiled, good stew.

sauce, for soup and raw.
On the day apprehend frost,
pick all which are ripe, and all which

den, covered with grass, or pine straw al

From the Vermont Waterman and State Journa
VERMONT RAIL-ROAD.,

From the Vermont Waterman and State Journal
VERMONT RAIL-ROAD.,
The newspapers Of New England
have, the past few months, been con
graduating Vermonters upon the
prospect of Rail road from lheil
borders-or across their State, tc
Boston via Fitchburgh Grail road,'
"Mount Holly Rail road" "Rutlal. d
Rail road" Vermont Rail road,''
( &c. &c.
'Such Rail road, would, if ter
minated on the borders of this State,
and probably at Brattleboro, or per-
haps pass by the way of Keene, N.
H., and terminate in New Hamp-
shire at Cheshire bridge, near
Chatlestown. If it were to contin-
ue across the State, westerly, or
northwesterly from either termina-
ton, it would encounter ezeroted
SUBMITS Of the Green Mountains and
II it were once over them, it would
be like visionary emigrant, going
west, west" without object and
without destination. No practical
engineer acquainted with the coun-
try, would project a Rail road over
the Green Mountains south of Mont
pelier and when it is known that
the western part of Vermont has al
ready a cheap and expeditions COM
municatlon for freight by the Lake
and Canal to Albany and flom
thence by Rail road to Boston,
could a Rail road be useful to that
section of this State
Vermont must, for a useful Rail
road, turn its attention to another
point-to a continuation Of the Bos-
ton and Concord Rail road 55 miles
to the mouth of White river in this
State.
A canal was, about fifteen years
since, surveyed over this route, and
it is believed that the summit was
found to be less than 600 feet above
the water at the mouth of White
river.
A Rail road terminating at that
point, on the bank of Connecticut
river, would become a central point,
for the convenient transit of the pro-
auctions of at least four counties
III the State, in two of which, the
important manufactures of Marble,
Iron, Coppcras, &c. would Ultimate
ly become SO much increased that
many thousand tons annually of
those productions would pass over
that road, TO Boston, in their tran
sit to that and more distant Ameri-
can, and perhaps, foreign markets.
If our State should desire a con-
tinued Rail road from that depot, to
Montpelier, or to Burlington, it could
pass up White river, through the
Gulf in Brookield, to Barre and
Montpelier, over a grade not exceed
ing In any instance 80 or 40 feet to
the mile.
Shall we not in northern Vermont
give this subject attention? Our
nelgbors in the southern counties,
will not, it is hoped, become quer-
rulous, If they should, in the exam
nation OF this subject, discover, that
from Concord N. II. and from Con-
cord alone, can a Rail road proceed,
which would, in its extension, be-
come useful to the citizens of
VERMONT.

to The practice among our friends IN the
country-we mean The female as we'll as

mated because it was believed that il rem
dered them less susceptible to attacks, in
The fall Of the year TO intermitlents. and
was said, also, to prevent them from be-
ing wormy! This is or was The apology
of the older women for this custom, who,
no doubt. were once wise and cute in the

man of The family, he took his morning
dram too, for no reason that he could as.

wouldn't hurt anybody" But tie old
women and the old man have learnt bet

more bread and meat and more good
warm clothes are bought with The mon
ey which has been saved in This way, and
find intermillents less common in their
family, and the children no, at all wormy!

The N. o. Courier of las, Friday Eve

head.
We announce with regret. that the
communications that have passed between
our Minister, Gen. Thompson, and The
Mexican Minister Of Foreign Affairs, ap-
pear 10 have had perncous influence
upon The commercial relations between
the two countries. We publish in another
column of our paper, decree which has
been sent to US by the Mexican Consul,
which is one Of the consequences Of these
communications. Ii is a decree from The
Provisional President of The Mexican Re-
public, that closes TO all foreign commerce,
the custom houses on The frontiers adjoin.
ing the territory of the United States;
that is, the cuslomhouses at Taos, the
Passo and the Presidio Del. Nor,e.
Accordingly, the commercial relations
that have existed for some years past with
Santa Fc, and which promised such beue-
fetal results, are entirely suspended.
The diplomatic communications refer
red TO above are those relating to the Tex
all maraudine parties which were alledg-
ed by the Mexican Government TO be COM
posed Of citizens Of the United States,
10 be got up in the United States, and
armed and supported by its people. and
that therefore our Government was re:
sponsibe for any mischief they had done
or might do. This conclusion was per-
emptoriIy rejected by General Thompson
and the consequence is this sort Of imagi
nary blockade Of The frontier. 1t vii
not probably prove very effectual. The
following is the decree.
Art. l. "Are closed without restriction
to all exterior commerce, the frontier Gus
,omhouses of Taos, in the department o
New Mexico, at the Passe del Norte al
well as the Preside del Nor,e, in the de-
parlment Of Chihuahua"
Art. 2. "This declaration shall have
effect forty FIVE days after its publcarior
in The capital. In consequence, &c."

SlR:-1 have read the communication
in your paper of the 2stb, under the sig
nature of "HoLd on" in relation to the
shortness of :he present crop, and agree
so fully with him, that cannot refrain
from adding my evidence and views in
confirmation of his. 1t is too true that
the long spell Of dry and beautiful wealth
er was considered by the planters them
selves as very favorable to their crops.-
The cotton they gathered, in consequence
has been very clean aud white, but every
one has been disappointed as to lis effect
on the late cotton. Having picked all the
cotton that opened during the dry period
before the frost, and expecting that halt oi
my crop still remained in the fields, lind,
TO my astonishment, thai it has ceased III

overlooked il, but The fields will not be-
come white. The same thing occurred to
me in 1880, then planting in different
part Of The State. The overseer. until
frost, said he would make 200 bales
The frost came on several days after The

pearances, though | have been predicting

but ii is sadder deficit than had anllci-
pared; Not an individual in my neigh
hood but will fall far short of every CAL
culation made on his crop by himself OF
his neighbos. What collon is hereafter
gathered cannot be as good as that here

that il will hear as good Price. WliaI

rapidity with which the Rail Roads hurry

lion it half (if mol nore) Of The crop with

gone to market. Formerly this market
wus distributed over the period of six or
seven moths, now it is hemmed into the
space of two or three. This must have
its temporary effect on prices. Such is
The improved condition of conyeyances
throughout the United States tha, The crop
is now carried TO market in one third Of
the time it formerly required. But for
