Every Village has its Paper.

Lyell in his travels in the United States,
seemed surprised that every village should
have its own newspaper. 1t is known
no where else, but the reason is, that no.
where else does man get so much of what
he ought to have, and which is conducive
to his comfort. The luxuries of life are
monopolired by great men and great cities
everywhere else, here they are diffused
more equally. And why should not news
paper follow the same laws? Has the in
habitant Of the country viliageor borough
no wants to be supplied, or wishes to be
made known? Has he no events, the
memory of which he wishes to be pre-
served Must he hold on the even tenor
of his way, unnoticed or unknown-no
voice" to announce his entrance or his
exit {? The country newspapers can only
supply this want. The properly conduct
ed country newspaper is the place where a
man can meet where all that concerns
himself Its readers know all that has
happened, and are allowed to form theil
own opinions. They are especially con.
versant with their own affairs, and are the
best of all reformers, for they know when
| anything goes wrong at home.

Commercial Crisis.

The Dry Goods Reporter, Of the I'd
inst, published in New York, predicts
that pressure, if not crisis, N com
mercial affairs, is at hand. Two leading
causes for this state of things are given:
First, the lessening of the rates of the
tariff has led to great importations, for
which We must pay in specie, as our pro-
ducts are not wanted in Europe to any
great extent. Some Of them they will aot
have at any price, though we exclude none
of theirs. Miserable Dutch looking glasses,
states, marbles in casks, and wretched
German clocks, fiat champagne and sour
clarets from France, great variety Of al
most useless articles from England, inun-
date our markets, all of which are to be
mainly paid for in specie, while our own
manufacturing industry is depressed, and
our surplus productions are left upon our
hands. All can see very plainly, if they
will, that this is perfectly natural result
of the reduction of the tariff, and must, as
the Reporter AYERS, contribute to produce
commercial pressure and disaster.
Second, our California trade, which
promised much at the commencement, but
which now bids fair to break down the
stateliest houses, and to overwhelm even
the merchant princes. As a general rule,
says the Reporter, almost all the consign-
ments to California, within the last two
years, have proved unfortunate and ruin
GUS. The obligations originally incurred
for the purchase of these goods have been
extended along to the present time. Pay
day has come, or is close at hand. The
greatest e1ertions are making by many to
keep up their credit abroad, that they may
recover their losses by future gains. But
the specie rolls away by millions to Euro
pean creditors. Our -four they will not
take at any price, our tobacco they ex-
clude, our cotton they depreciate. The
consequences are inevitable. We are So
vastly in debt, that the whole of ou,
specie is likely to leave us, unless some
European convulsion produces a sense o1
insecurity among foreign capitalists.
In view, then, of the results which seem
to be at hand, we may make up our minds
that we shall hear of failures, defalcations
and other troubles peculiar to money
pressure. Sound men Of business need mo-
|fear these mutterings; they will at onc'
|take in sail or lie to, while the storm
passes by them. No country in the worlt
that imports more than it can pay for cal
'expect prosperity.

A Renaissance.

sSome time in the month of May, 1870,
while I was concerned in publishing the
Northern Spectator" weekly newspaper
in the village of East Poultney, Vermont,
I was one morning engaged in my garden,
when there came to me STRIPPING of
about IA wears of age, and enauired if l
was the man who carried on the printing
office? j answered that | was he
asked me if 1 wanted to take boy as an
.anprentice / told him l had thought of
IL and asked him if he wished to become
n PRINTER? He told me he had some no
ton of learning the printing business.
He had come some ten miles on foot that
morning from a humble home in the
vicinity of West Haven, to make this ap-
pGcation. l had not at first paid much
attention 10 his address-and now turning,
to the young stranger, ] saw standing
before me light, slender form, dressed in
the plain farmers cloth Of the day, and
without the fastidious taste Of Neau Nash
or Brommel. His hair Of light hue,
shading upon the orange, lay thinly upon
his broad forehead, and over head rock
ing on shoulders apparently too slender to
support the weight Of member SO dis
portioned to his general outline. On en-
tering into conversation, and partial ex-
animation Of the qualifications of my new
applicant, 1T required but little time to dis
cover that he possessed mind of no com
mon order. and an acquired intelligence
far beyond hisyears. He had little oppor-
,tupity at the common school, but he said
-she had read some"-and what he had
she we'll understood and remembered.
In addition to the ripe intelligence
manifested in one SO young. and whose
instruction had been linited, there was a
single-mindcdness, truthfulness and
common sense in what he said that at once
commanded my regard. After conversing
with him while, l told him to 60 to the
Office and talk with the foreman. He did
so, and soon returned with line from the
foreman, saying he thought we had better
try the had. He soon entered the office,
after having bound himself an apprentice
for four years.
On his first entering the Office, there
was quite . sensation among the older ap,
prentices and journeymen. They thought
they had caught green one, and resolved
on . treat of fun. But the new GOMEZ
paid no attention to what was passing. He
took his copy and composing stick from
the foreman and stood up to the desk o.
types, intent on thought, and all ths
world blank" He had not stood there
many days before his Office companions
appeared some what to doubt, and tn
more tame ones began to sniff little o

Father HoWe's Dream.

Rev. Mr.. Howe, lately Of Hopkinton, is
known to have been an original man. His
waking thoughts were peculiarly his own
and his dreams may be expected to partake
of the same qualities. This dream we
place in our columns on account OF its orl-
ginality. We give it publicity, also, for
benefit of singing choirs who are some
times liable to fall out by the way.
At one time during his ministry, the
singers all took offence and left the choir.
On the next Sabbath he related the follow
ing dream, which had the desired effect of
restoring them to their places. He
dreamed that spirit from the other world
appeared before him, and informed him
that there was singing enough in heaven
but none in hell; and that one Of the most
essential distinctions, between angels and
devils consists in this, that the former de-
light in singing while the latter have no
inclination to engage in this heavenly EN-
ployment.
The angels, Continued the spirit) were
all created in holiness; but in process OF
time a part of them became tired OF
employing their faculties in singing the
songs of heaven. When these were
urged to use all their talents in the SER
vice of God, they said they had no encour-
oyement to sing, or, in other words, no
pay. They would not trust the Lord to
reward them, but must be paid by their
fellow-servants. The Almighty, therefore,
prepared them different place and name.
1 awoke, (said Mr.. Howe and lay mu-
sing on the subject for some time, and
then fell asleep; my thoughts turned to
my former dream; departed spirits ap-
peared to me, and their conversation was
audible. At length one Of them stood
forth to interpret the dream, and said 1t
had respect to the people of Hopkinton-
Your last years singers observed the in
terpreter) are all dead. l saw them 60 to
Heavens gate and knock for admission.
Whereupon Gabriel opened the gate, and
said. "Who are you? can you sing?'
"No..' "Then you can not be admitted
here" awe did sing for time" re-
piled they, "but we're discouraged.' "He
that putteth the hand to the plough an
swered Gabriel, "and looketh back, is moi
fit for the kingdom of God; you can moi
be admitted here" -"We would have
sung, if there had been suitable 'encour
agement.n "Those who rciU not sing or
earth" returned the angel, i" shall not sing
in heaven. You can't be admitted here
Depart, Depart" Upon this the gull
opened and swallowed them up. Then
awoke, (said Mr.. Howe,) and behold i
was dream but the hing was certain
and the Interpretation thereof, sure.

Singular Incident.

A recent "Winchester (Va-) Unionist,"
says "Mrs. Watt, Mrs. Evens, and Mrs.
Davis, three pious and estimable widow
ladies of this town, all in usual health,
called upon Mrs. Judd, pious Methodist
lady, the wife Of IN, of our citizens, who
is lying at the poin. of death, with the
dropsy, hourly expecting the messenger
for whose summons she has been long
prepared. After spending an hour, in
which the tenderest and holiest sympathies
of Christian hearts were freely commin-
gled, they rose to depart, and taking the
dying woman by the hand, they spoke say
ing to her, ''that she seemed to be near
her end, but perhaps some of them might
be in Heaven before her." Yesterday
(Sabbath) pious friends again assembled
around the bed Of the dying wom n. B t
these friends were not there. They had
all three been stricken down with tho
cholera during the week, and we're all ''in
Heaven before her," -

To an Old Maple Tree.
nr MIS-. J. Il. DIMocK, OF MoSTRos..

have loved thee from my childhood,
Thou old aud moss grown tree!
And thousand gentle memories
Are linked with thoughts of thee.
Sweet visions Of that olden time,
When, with Joyous heart strayed
To ssek the earliest white flowers,
Nv the streamlet meath thy shade.
There. when, at springs soft breathinss,
The snow-wreath fed away,
Each green and mossy knowl was gemmeu
With patIidge-berries gay,
The Nav flower and the violet
Peeped from their bed Of mould,
And the dark wake-robbn nodded
By the ad dierGtongue OF goid.
The feashery fern waved TO the breeze,
With wild wood fragrance fraught,
While the brown thrush, for her Gallo" pho'A'
Its sheltering covert sought
And among thy spreading brahchcS'
In their soft, pale green array;
The sony sparrow trilled his earliest notes,
And the blue bird poured his lay.
I've loved thee when the glad 'pring brought
Her gifts Of bloom and inirth,
Nor less when summers loneliness
Came flashing DER the cath
For thou hast worn right resaliy,
Thy coronal Of green,
Ard stood monarch OF the wood,
In the sunlisLt's glorious sheen
And when the change came DER ,hee'
In the pensive autumn days
When vale and upland, grove anu streani'
We're veiled in sober haze,
Thou do t thy gorgeous robes pu. Oh
OF crimson and of gold,
And proudly yield the honors up
Thou mighi'st not longer hold
Majestic still, though shorn, thou'st stood
With thy light traccry
Revealed, in fairy pencillings, gainst
iThe clear and starlit sky
Then the wiut'ry sun came briGhtiy down.
And lingering DER thy crest
Zach tiny twig with frost o'er-wrousht,
In ylittering gems seemed dressed.
And oft. when through thy sturdy toushs,
The stors.-king wild has ra,es,
I've joyed TO see how nobly thou
His violence hast brayed.
But a spoier has been busy 'monSst
Tby brethren Of the shade,
And sigh to mark the ravages
The woodlands axe has made.
Thou .tand,st almost alone. old tree!
The stream has shrnnk and dried,
And the flowers, beneath the suns fierce glare,
From their old hauuts have died.
Thou TOO. exc hong, old cherished fraena,
Must bow thy ttately head!
so pass from earth its icvefiest
And poblest, to the dead.
