Vermont watchman and State journal. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1836-1883, 1852-07-15

THE SENATE was not IN session.
HOUSE,. After reading the journal, the House
resumed consideration of the postage bill. Mr.
Odds instituted a comparison between the old
and present rates, with a view of showing that
with the ounce mnimum-the average of the
the newspaper circulation of the country-the
postage specified in the bill IS considerably less
than the present rates. Under the old law
transient newspapers are almost entirely exclud-
ed, while under this they are put on the same
footing with other papers, although II required
that the postage be prepaid.
Mr. Washburn opposed the first section. Il
seemed to discriminate in favor of small penny
papers printed on thin paper, and with smal
type, and against the large papers printed OF
large type and with good material. He did no
believe in the proprlety of such Legislation, ant
therefore offered an amendment in effect to in
crease the standard weight which the bill re
quires for newspapers, otherwise one half of the
people of the States would be excluded from thu
benefit of the law, and the circulation of country
newspapers materially curtailed.
A debate ensued for and against the amend
ment, and contInuedsuntll the expiration OF TIN
morning hour.
The House then went into Committee of tn,
Whole and resumed the consideration Of tn
Collins amendment.
Mr.. Stephens, of Penn, offered an amendment
that the duty be levied on wares and merchan
disc, imported into the United States, shall b.
assessed on the average price which such artl
cles bore in the principal markets of the Uni
ted States LIST December, 1896, such prices t
be ascertained by the Secretary of the Treasu
ry. in order to receive the money appropriated b
these and other lines.
The Chairman, Mr.. Stuart ruled the amend
ment out of order, and on the appeal, the Chair
man was sustained, ayes 81, nays not counted.
The debate on the Collins amendment wa
continued, and various amendments offered by II
opponents all voted down.

SCHOOL EXAMINATION.

A schoolmaster announced to his
pupils that an examination would
soon take place.
eff you are examined in geogra-
phy," said he, "you will surely be
asked what is the shape of the earth;
and ifyou should not remember, just
look at me, and l will show you my
snuff box, to remind you that it is
round"
Unfortunately the teacher had two
snuff boxes: a round one which he
only used on Sunday; and a squar
one, which he carried during the
work. The class in geography was
duly called out, and the question
asked
"What is the shape ofthe earth?''
The first boy, appalled, at the i'm
posing appearance of the examining
committee, felt embarrassed, and
glanced at the master, who pointed
at his snuf-box.
''Sir," boldly answered the boy,
''it is round on Sunday, and square
all other days in the week."

THE FLIGHT OF TIME.

In reference to the flight of time,
DIR Spring once.closed discourse in
the following graphic language:
81 shall never address this au-
dience again; l shall never again
meet them but at the bar of Cod
That interview seems far distant
But it will be as Time, with his ca
gle wings, shall have fnihsed the lit
tie remnant of his short career.
CATER death the judgment. We
die: but intervening ages pass rapid
ly over those who sleep in the dust.
There is no plate there on which to
count the hours of time. No longer
is it told by days, or months Or
years; for the planets which mark
these periods are hidden from their
sight. Its flight is no longer noticed
by the ears perceived by the SEN
ses, for the ear is deaf and the eye is
closed. The busy world of life
which wakes at each morning and
ceases every night, goes on above
them, but to them all is silent and
unseen. The greetings of joy and
the voice of grief, the revolution of
empires and the lapse of ages, send
no sourd within that narrow cell.
Generation after generation are bro't
and laid by their side; the Inscriptions
on their monumental marble tells the
centuries that have passed away, but
to the sleeping dead the long inter-
val is unobserved. Like the dream
of night, with the quickness OF
thought the mind ranges time and
space almost without a limit. There
is but moment between the hour
when the eye is closed in the grave
and when it wakes in the judgment.

LIFE, HEALTH AND HAPPINESS.
MORTIMORE'S
Bitter Cordial and Blood Purifier.

TNHIS popular CORDIAL, which has met with
l. such extensive sale during the past year, sur
passes all preparations put forth for similar pur-
poses, and prove by its wonderful effects upon the
human system, TO be the GREATEST BLOOD
PURIFIER in the world
Most diseases have their origin in impurities Of
The blood, or morbid and inactive state Of the liuer
and the great difficulty heretofore has been, that
the various "blood purifiers" of the day, have only
had tendency to reduce the blood, and substitute
an dcrid icdtery Guid-which must necessarily en-
gender disease-reduce the vital powers and pros
trate the whole nervous system. This no doubt has
been experienced by thousands, and the fact be-
coming well known to every close observer, as
well as to many eminent physicians.
The BITTER CORDIAL and BLOOD PURI-
FER acts entirely different upon the system
While it acts gently upon the LIVER, sufficient to
remove the impure poisonous secretions, it acts
also as a fine TONIC to the stomach causing COM
plete and healthy Notwithstanding pure SAL
IVA and proper nutriment for ENRcHING the blood,
and leads tforth with vigorous and healthy ac-
ton throughout the system.
| For Dyspepsia, Loss Of Appetite, Pain or Misery
in the Side or regions OF the Heart, Jdundce, Gem
eral Debility or nervous affections, this cordial
stands unequalled.
Where persons have suffered from CHILL and
FEvERs or bilious attacks Of any kind, have taken
quinine cdlomel, and weak or debilitated-or the
effects of these strong medicines remaining in the
system, this Cordial will very soon remove these,
which, If let alone, might ruin the individual for
| life.
Neuralgia, scrofula, eryspelas salt rheum, letter
or ring worm, pimples on the face surface of the
skin, and all other cutaneous eruptions, have their
original in impurities ofthe Blood, and this BLOOD
PURIFIER is the remedy One bottle alone is guar
anteed to.possess more real medicinal virtues, and
produce more beneficial effects than FIVE TIMES
that quantity of any other preparation put forth
for similar purposes.
OF Price 81 per bottle. Liberal discount by
