is the only State in which the enemy's standard,
in two wars, has never been unfured.
Ii is now in the power of Vermont once more
TO save ourselves and our country, We have on
ly to strike the first blow, not for protection, but
prohibition, of all wool aud wooden manufactures;
oil cotton and manufactures Of cotton; all sugar
and moasses all iron and steel and manufactures
OF iron and steel all leather and manufactures
oil leather. In demanding this we demand
nothing more than what we are willing to grant 10
others TO talk ofindependence when we are clad
IN foreign manufactures is to talk OF our indepen-
dence as lielng or parchment. is only when tie
agriculturallst, the artzan, the mechanic aud nan
ulncurer are encouraged by legislative enaclmenis
and actively employed in their various occupa-
lions that the farmers are enabled TO make ex-
changes at the tail OF the plough. 1T is then and
moi TIL then that we Vermonters can, with any
prorreiy, begin TO talk about our Independence
IN reality. No one of the first fourteen States has
given so few anli-ariff votes in Congress as YER
mont. No state in the Union produces so great
quantity Of wool according To her population. 1t,
therefore, belongs to the wool growers OF Vermont
to stand square their taps, on the floor of Con-
grtks and make the first demand for the prohibit
lion OF the aforesaid enumerated articles This
Snle IL now ably represented on the floor OF Con-
gress; they will exert every nerve in the defence
OF the interest Of the State. They have to con-
tend with the importers OF wool and wooens, the
manufacturers and traders. | move they he rein.
forced by some one wool grower, who is versed
IN all the tricks of the importers, manufacturers
aud traders called otcling, cozendge, &c. Much,
during the last session of Congress- was dscov-
cred in relation to wool and wooens; more ought
TO he ferreted out In addition 10 this there is
otcling and cczenGge in connection with the impor-
ting others OF the aforesaid enumerated articles.
Whenever the wool-growers move in earnest for
the securing of their interest, the other great in
teresls will be fer securing theirs. When united
Il.nN H.
make their demand on the floor Of Congress as
did Allen on The walls of Ticonderoga theii
rights will then be acknowledged and secured.

| dnctlUn from brother farmer, and well wIsher.

lower part of the field and after NON ents pause,
our friend said
GAN hes not come up that have sowed here
-sowed in tears, too, and sowed IN hope"
The earth clods," said we I" seem to he strong
of your hopes"
"Yea, yes" said Our friend, looking away again
into the vale, and evidently speaking to himself,
rather than TO us the clods of the valley do rest
upon them. Will you walk across the fields :"
There was something so attractive IN the melan-
choly of the stranger, that we accepted his invita-
ton.
Entering the lower part of the field by another
avenue, we found ourselves close to the stone wall
that we had noticed at n distance, and we entered
a narrow enclosure. IL was a family burying
ground. few trees had grown up among the
long grass, and they were pouring down their sa-
cred leaves upon the graves below.
My companion leaned over the head stone Of
principal grave, and pointed to smaller one at its
side.
"The frost and wind" said he, that are strip
ping The trees above us, can scarcely make them
barer than have been left. One after another
they have dropped from me, and the last, the hard
est, because the last"
! little hiIlock was swelling up, whose newly
| laid sod told tho regency of the poor mans uff1c-
tion-wife, child and grandchild.
"And these" said he, Il have planted in tears.
! Beyond the wall, the grain which my hand scat
|
| may reap in Joy but from this narrow field,
nothing springs up, and can never reap with JOY
what have planted with many enrs."
The dryness of the season, and the melancholy
| fall of the leaf had evidently conspired, with re
| cent alliction, to disturb the philosophy OF my
companion, aud to cheer him, but scarcely with
effect; he seemed to cling 10 the comparison OF
| the " heat
1.-THE grain" said VIC, which you reap is not
that which you sow; the earth receives the decay
Ing seed, and gives back perfect harvest. And
| that which you have deposited here must be gar
nered in interruption, and you can reap in Joy
| only where tears are unknOwn.'
" have, them" said the stricken man, " set W
my expectations of happiness on the earth Il
was wrong but Internationally wrong. My de-
Ginning years should have taught me other things
And will, hereafter, make my faith superior tc
my earthly grief and mark the signal" said he
pointing back to the slender shaft Just ralset
at ST. Peters Church, mark the beautiful signal
The beams of the declining reflected will
lusre from youder emblem, where lie gilded eros
stands brilliant above the globe, 10 show lis nov
superior TO earth is that faith which can slsoii
our nhrultits."
",Fhere is, then, hope" said we, "lhat Their
will he II harves, in which you can share with joy.
He looked down upon the hillock below, ioi
time, and then raising his eyes ill they rested a
gain upon the emblem, said, 81 shall 20 TO Their
they shall not return unto me"

in his parlour, surrounded by n number OF friends
who had come to pass the Thanksgiving with him.
The lad entered the room without knocking, and
bringing the turkey from his shoulder heavily
upon the table, said: Mr.. Moody, there's n tur-
key that father sent you. II you want il, you may
have it; if you don't, III carry il back agin!
shall be very glad OF it, said the minister ),
'but think you might learn little better IMAM
ners Charles Can you not do an errand any bet
ter?'
How would you have me do ii p inquired
Charles,
Sit down in my chair said the parson, and
will show YOU
Charles took the chair, while the divine took
the turkey and left the room. He soon returned,
took off his hat, made q bow, aud said, Mr.. Moo
dy, here is turkey which my father sent you, and
wishes you to accept as n present.
Charles rose from his seat took the fowl and said
TO the minister 1t is n very fine one, and ! feel
very grateful to your father for it, In this, and in
numerous other instances, he has contributed to
my happiness. If you will just carry it TO the
kitchen, and return again, will call Mrs. Moody
TO give you half dollar !'ss
The pnrson walked out of the room his friends
laughed at the joke, an1 made up purse for the
lad, who ever afterwards received reward for
his services

SlGLE-MADE MEN.

The following paragraph from the pen of Hor-
ace Greeley, editor OF The New York Tribune,
speaks volumes of encouragement to the young
men OF our land. 1t is notorious fact, that many,
very many OF the master spirits OF this country,
are self-nadc men, who have risen 10y their own
energies from the humbest walks ef life Those
Swim jalors Of the heart, low birth and iron for
tune" nre great obstacles to young and aspiring
minds bat energy, integrity and faith scutters
them from the path TO distinction as the winds

sETuE RIBBON COST MORE THAN
THE DRESS

The remark that "lhe ribbon cost more than the
dress was made in our hearing not long since in
reference 10 Il recent purchase OF an ornamental
ribbon and comfortable calico dress. This
brings TO mind the fact that most oe the pecunialy
evils under which the people labor, have been
brought upon them by the system ofhavng The
Ribbon cost more than the Dress" All cnses
where sacrifices ARE made for the sake OF keeping
up appearances in the community, when The ne
ces,sry income has tsliou on; are of this character.
And there are more sacrifices made for show, and
for unnecessary articles of furniture and dress
than for necessary articles of comfort. Indeed,
with those who skulk from honest labor, under
the idea that it is not respectable 10 toll es other
men they will almost beg for employment which
COMFORTS wilI their notions of responsibility, and
nearly sarvo lnher than engage in any other
Their ribbon Gusts them more than their dress.
The young man who commences business with
high hopes, and wishes to take upon him the re-
sponsihties of manhood, and to enjoy the COM
forts OF men OF age and capital instead of closely
pursuing the details otbusiness and acquiring the
reputation and reaping the fruits of being u pru-
dent, perseveriug and economical business man,
finds at length that "the ribbon costs more than
the diess"
The young woman who neglecls acquiring n
good education, in the pursuit after accomplish
menls-whose head is scarcely put TO any other
use but that of mllliner's bock-who violates
the laws of health for The reputation OF possessing
u
sumption from the damp earth and cold snow, il,
showing neat Thin shoe upon her foot-or who
sings and trips about in say and frivolous ainuse
ments or Luxurious deness instead of seeking ac
quanance with domestic affairs, is apt TO find al
! length, to her sorrow aud shame, that " the rbbor
cost more than the dress"
The politician, elevated by the people to post
of honor and trust and who seeks his own selisl
ends rather than the public good-who flatIers lh'
people by false promises, rather than serve Them
with honest PURPOSES aud is disposed 10 approprl
ate the power placed in his hands Tor The pubic
good, TO advance his own interests is apt to dis
cover in the end the truth of the remark, tha
"ihe ribbon cost more than the dress"
multitude of other might he referred
to, illustrating the TACT that the ribbon costs NOR
than the dress :; but these will be sufficient to d
rect the thoughts of our readers to examine TO
themselves, and ascertain whether in any Of lhei
conduct they are paying more for the ribbon tina
for the dress.-Bangor Whg.
