o. We believe burlington has at last en-
oountercd a project on which all her citizens
unite with cordial unanimity We rejoice in
the fact. There is strength in unity. We
hope soon to witness public expression Of
the interest and sympathy universally felt
among is in favor of the EXTENSION RAILROAD.
A Public Meeting we doubt not, will soon bs
called, and wcs all be disappointed if Burling.
ton leaves any doubt as to her wishes and zeal
in the premises, We learn that meeting of
lhe Directors of the Rutland and Burlington
Railroad will be held this crening, and to NOR
row, in this village, the object of which is un>
derstood to be to consider the matter of the
Extension. Undoubtedly some definite plan
and propositions will be agreed upon, through
which the work may at once be placed in pro-
g'css.
The Sentinel of yesterday thus urges tho
matter;-
1T has been suggested that public meet
inr be called in Burlington for the purpose of
hlstoning the progress Of the proposed railroad
extension from this PLACE to Swan,on. We
second that motion. Every man in Burlington
who cares for the public or private interests OF
the town should turn out 1t is night and proper
that Burlington should speak plainly on this
matter. 1t Is a question on which the feeling of
the people has been excited, and though they
care very lille for railroad quarrels, they care
for Burlington "good deal" Let meeting
come from the people and be Of the people

This articlei il now universally acknowledged TO be the
most healing and efficient application fordiseased or decay
ing lungs, or any portion of the feshy or muscular parts of
the human body. Its medicinal and preservative qualities
were understood by the Egyptians in the early ages of the
world, and no doubt now exists among scientific men, that
the preparation used in the embalminent of bodies, was
composed principally of this ingredient. In later ages, II
was found to be in universal use among the aboriginies of
America, and at this day IL is their principal, and. in fact,
only medicine for an unsound state of the lungs, or any p
proaca to il. Those who are acquainted with the history of
this hardy race of men, know thata death from C0nsump-
ton is unknown umong them! The medical faculty in all
countries appear to have become aware of the great healing
properties of this article. and are nov introducing it into
their practice. DIR. Buchan of England, Dr.. Creighton of St
Petersburg, DR.. La Prieare of Paris. and the distinguished
DR.. Cooper, have been IN the habit of combining it with 9th.

With faltering lip and throbbing brow,

For many generations past,
Here is Jul family tree;
My mothers hands this Bible claspd-
She; dying; gave it to me.
All! well do I remember those
Whose name these records bear
Who round the hearth-atone used to ciose
Aner the evening prayer,
And speak Of what these pasesfait,
In tones my heart would thrill
Though they are with the silent dead;
Here are they living still!
My father read this holy book
TO brothers, sisters dear:
How calm was my poor mothers look,
Who lean'd Gods word to hear,
Her angel face-I see il yet!
What thronging memories come
Again that little group is met
Within the walls OF home.
Thou trues, friend man ever knew,
Thy constancy Eve tried;
Where all were false l found thee true,
My counsellor and guide.
The mines of earth no treasure give
That could this volume buy:
