Ey The Vermont Phcnir Brattleboro) contra
diets the statement of our Montpelier correspondent
that three of the five judges who compose the Su-
prcmc Court Of that State are Loco Focos. That
Court appears to consist of Judges Royce and Ben
nett, Wings, Redfeld and Kellogg, Locos, and Chief
Justice Williams, Birneyitc. Considering that this
Court is annually elected by the Legislature which
is Wing, we think the liberality displayed in elect
ing and rejoicing political opponents often over
and sometimes to supersede good Wings have sell
dom been equaled 1t is right however, and not
less polite TO choose The fittest men for Judges,
wiihoutregard 10 party. The Indiana Loco Focos
might well take a lesson from Vermont-so might

the matured ability of the Bar is Wing we have no
Wing Judge on the Supreme Bench, and have not

"The boy appears rather young, mad

"Seyen years. SIR"

CouNsELs TO THE YouNa.-Be care
ful to form good habits. Almost all per-
manent habits are contracted in youth
and these do in fact form the character
Of the man through life. 1t is Paley,
believe, who remarks. that we act from
habit nine times, where we do once from
deliberation. Little do young persons
apprehend the momentous consequences
OF many Of their most frequently repeats
ed actions. Some hadits are merely in>
convenient, but have no moral quality;
others affect the principles Of our con-
duct; and become sources Of good or evil,
to an incalculable degree. As to the
former, they should be avoided, as de-
tracing from our comfort, and as ulti-
mately interfering with our usefulness;
but the latter should be deprecated. as
laying the foundation Of wicked char
acter, and as standing in the way Of all
mental and moral improvement.

thus:-"A young man who had not seen

with others of the family, did not take
much notice of the young suitor-and,
moreover, did not observe his new
boots! By and by. after he. had pla-

They're frisking and frolicking all the long

But when out o. danger they turn round and

With their pretty black eyes, just as wise al

When Isaac comes forward to give them thei

How pretty they seem while they're getting
their fill!
They look quite enchanting a little way Off
But the dirty young scamps stick their fee

Oh! see the two spotted oues eat out tn

How funny they wiggle their delicate tails!
That black chap I'll catch, if can, by til

TIN whistles and horns! don't it take him t

So cunning, SO lovely, SO lively and gay;
They frisk with the freedom Of fairies an

The Samaritan Society will hold its
second annual meeting at the Methods,
church this evening, a. half past SIX o

the Secretary will be read and an Address
will be delivered by S. ]. Burn, Esq.
This Society is conducted exclusively
by Ladies. although Gentlemen are ad.
mitted as honorary members on the pay
men, of one dollar per annum. The ben
efils and blessings il has already confer
red on the poor and distressed are meal
cuable. Many families have been sought
out and relieved by this Society who
would, for the want OF such aid. have
suffered and pinned without any alienation
10 their sorrows. The members are all
interested in their labors of love and mer-
cy, and NEE. from week 10 week TO make
up garments aud other articles for the
comfort Of their benefciaries. Truly the
blessing Of the poor, the fatherless and
the widow, will fall upon them. The
President Of the Society Ellis
and all the Ladies connected with il have
been interchangeable in their exertions. and
they well deserve all the thanks and aid
and cOun:enance that this community can
bestow upon them.
The Society is confined to no sect and
relieves all the wants Of the poor as far as
il is capable 1t has given a shelter TO

and as they have constant applications
from the poor and the destitute aud as
their materials are nearly worked up and
disposed Of, We hope that the appeal they
may make .o.nigh, may secure for them
an adequate accession to their treasury
both in money and goods, so that they
may be able to carry on their laudabc be-
