with Sailor Jack, who is a private

He combines the most remarkable
courage with inexhaustible good hui
NOR, and often, when we have been
sitting in our tents drenched to the
skin, have his drolleries made the
place resound with glee, and our
sides ache with laughter. On the
25th of October, Jack was about
four files from me in the ranks,

to line, on Jack bolted, and the rest
Of us with him but in consequence
of the crowds of Russians, we had
very little space for the use Of our
swords. Well, Jack-who has a
salve for every sore--fnding that
he could not get using his sword for
time, makes up to a huge Rus
sian lancer, who very politely pre-
sented' Jack with a pistol bullet,
which he as politely refused by
bowling to the pummel Of his sad
die, aud receiving the ball on the
hilt of his sword. Fair play, mate,

The annexed article on some Of
the causes of the present extraordl-
nary embarrassmcnts of the times, is
taken from the Boston Journal, in
which articles Of ability and sound
ness on domestic economy, trade, and
business, have been by no means
rare or unlrequen,. The article con-
tains so much truth, intelligence, and
sound sense, that am DESTROYS to
have it republlshed in the Watch
man. The observations arc of a
practical nature, of general interest
and concern, and cannot fail TO be
instructive aud useful TO every read
er. OBSERVER.
In their endeavnrs TO account for
the present untoward state of affairs,
wise men--or those who pass for
such, and in many respects are such
seem 10 be driven to their wits
end 10 find adequate causes for We
ny perceptble disastrous effects And
of late, many writer's on the subject
have come 10 the conclusion that our
system of long credits is the cause.
Partially we agree with them. Long
credits from the manufacturer iacili-
tate long credits TO the consumer
induce purchases which otherwise
would not be- made, and so help on
the final catastrophe. But they mere
ly help. They are not the cause of
the effect, but only an auxiliary
which makes the effect sooner nppa-
rent The cause lies deeper. Ms
in the habits Of oar people, who eat,
drink and wear more than they have
ready means to pay for, and give
drafts on luturity for the balance.-
No curtaIlment Of the credit system
no reduction of currency-can
eradicate the cause. This can only
be done efieclually by reformation
of the habits of consumers.
Let US look at one class-farmers,
for example. There are about IL
100000 farmers in the Union, heads
OF families. OF these il is safe to
say that two-ihirds are constantly in
debl-consIantly buying beyond their
present means and giving drafts OH
their mex, crops, 10 be renewed if
those crops fail. We will suppose
the average of these farmers debts
TO be $500 each-cerlainly q very
moderate csiimale-and here we
have at once the very pretty sum Of
! $2OO, 000,0 capital lent to farm

A MoDEL CnURcH-On the 9Th
inst. Rev. Iloralin Stcbbins was
ordained colleague with Rev. Doct.
Nichols Of the First Parish Church in
Portland, Me. According to an ar.
uclc in The State Of Maine newspaper.
one hundrcd and tpenty-aght
yearS ago, March 3, 1921, Rev.
Thomas Smlthcn, n Young man Of 2j
years of age, was settled as the first
pastor over the Society After Mr..
Smith hal sustained this relation
for thirty-scyen years, Rev. Samuel
Deane, then 81 years of age, was
settled as colleague pastor with Mr..
Smith, VIZ Oct. l7tb, 1864. Rev.
Mr.. Smith deceased May 25ih, 1895,
at the advanced age Of nincty-lour
years, having remained pastor Of the
society for the period OF Strty-eight
years. Mr.. Deane remained sole
pastor Of the society until June 7,h,
1899, when Rev. Ichabod Nichols al
the aye Of 23 years was settled as his
colleague. Mr.. Deane deceased
Nov. l2lh, 1914, aged 50 years,
having sustained the pastoral relation
Tor u period OF 81 years. Duur.
Nichols has now been settled over
the society i6 years. 1t will thus be
seen that for l23 years the society
have never been without a pastor for
day, and for thirty-six years Of the
time have had two, while only three
persons have held The office Of pastor
during the ,ch0ie imc-their pastor
atcs respectively extending for the
term Of 6S, 81 and 16 years, and the
present pastor at the venerable age
of IL years, yet, in good health aud
strength, possessed of "A sound CON
sliluAon, and unclouded intellect,
unbalanced by age.

success to such an establishment at
Montpelier, but little efor, on the
part of our men OF tact and capital.
Let such men put shoulder TO the
wheel, and it will GO. We know of
a pleasant location, in the heart Of the
village, which can DO had at a
moderate price, for such purpose.
The water at Bra,tlcboro,' is brought
in lead pipes the distance Of two
miles. Here il can be obtained, in
abundance, pure and soft, at one
fourth the distance aud expense
What man, or men, of capital, energy
and enterprise will move in the
matter All classes of people want
It. The prosperity Of the place
requires it. Once accomplished i,
thousands from the cities, and the
south, who now resort TO the burning
sands of Saratoga in the warm sea-
son would resort to the Capital Of the
Green Mountain State to partakc Of
the healing balm Of such all establish
mcnt and breathe our fresh and
lnyigoratng mountain air, and enjoy
the inimitablc scenery Of our lakes,
rivers, mountains, cascades, and

WArER-CuRE EsrABLlsiMENrs.-
The success Of these establishments
in restoring health to patients long
afflicted with disease, in various
forms, has rendered them quite
popular, as resorts, not only for
patients, but for those in health,
and many in tho circles Of eayciy
and fashion. AT Bralileboro', in this
state, number OF years since, DR..
Wcssclhcl, a sklllful and celebrated
German Ply sican, erected a commod-
ious Water Cure Establishment. 1t
soon became the resort of hundreds
of invalids, and families of wealth,
especially from the South, dunng the
summer months, at an expense of ten
dollars a week for board aud at
tendance. During The few months
we were there, much To the i'm
provcment Of our health, the patients
and hoardcrs averaged an hundred
and sixty, making the cash receipts
to the establishment, every Saturday,
sixteen hundred dollars per week.
This circulated principally among the
merchants, mechanics, laboring mon,
and farmers in the vicinity giving
quite an air of business activity, and
prosperity TO the pleasant little VII
lagc OF Bratlleboro'. Since the
deceasc of DR.. W. The establishment
continues 10 prosper under the
Proprie,orslip of Mrs. Wesselhefi,
and is kept open for the reception Of
patients and boarders, at all seasons
of the year Another and similar,
and even more extensive Water
Cure has sprung up in the same
village, with great success and both
are said 10 be filled to oyerflpwing in
the summer season The New
establishment was built by gentle
man Of the city of New York, aud is
under tho superintendent of a
gentleman we'll fitted for his place.
Tho celebrated DR.. Grau is Physician
10 this new and dcservedly popular
establishment. But our main object
in this article is not 10 puff either Of
the establishments at Bralllcboro'.-
They need no pulling. Like a man
of good character, they hes, recon-
mend themselves. Our object lies
nearer home. Montpelier greatly
needs Just snch an establishment as
the new one al Bratileboro.' II would
add greatly TO the business, wealth,
and permanent prosperity of the
place and benefit all the towns in
the immediate vicinity. With an
abundance Of pure water, pure air,
fine scenery, railroad facilities, and
o fertile soil, aud with abundant
means, what need hinder an enter
prise Of this kind I, seems 10 us
that nothing is wanting TO give

ers, not for the purpose of improv-
ing their farms or increasing their
crops, but for the most part to enable
them TO furnish their wives and
daughters with silks and other gew-.
gaws which they would be infinitely
better without. Doubtless the facli-
ity OF obtaining these superfluities on
credit ministers TO the desire 10 have
them but what effect will the short
ening OF credits between manufac-
lurers and merchants-beiwcen mer-
chants and traders--havc upon this
habit I Very little, as it seems to
us for no farmer who confines his
purchases 10 the nccessaries oil l'ic,
or the necessities Of his business. will
often have occasion TO get in debt at
all. These, too, are articles on which
the trader makes out small profit
and is not anxious to press upon his
customers; his large profits are made
on Injuries and superfluities and ra-
Their than forcgo those profits he will
give the required credit, without
which they cannot be sold.
Any reformation, therefore, Of such
a radical nature as TO remove the
cause CT disorder, must begin aud
he carried out by the masses. When
they will confne their expenditure to
their income, aud steadily refuse to
purchase any luxury or supcrnuiiy
which they have not present means
TO pay for, everything else that is de-
sirablc follows naturally "a matter
of course. There will no longer be
any need Of discussing credit or cur
rcncy, both will fall back and be con-
fined within legitimate bounds. Ey-
cry man who desires to see the coun-
Try truly prosperous 10y the means of
lending powerful aid 10 that end by
combining his own ouigo TO his IN
come, and by enforcing tic necossi-
ty of adopting The same course upon
his ncighbors. If after the necessa-
rics OF life are provided for. there re-
mains enough TO purchase silk dres-
ses for wives and daughters, let ii be
done but if there is only enough TO
buy calico let calico he bought. 1t
is evidently all there are means 10
buy, and 30 buy more than we have
means 10 pay for, is a sort of fraud
upon ourselves and our neighbors for
which we all have TO suffer in the
end-which, sooner or later, always
comes.
How to reach the masses-to make
them understand that the hard
lines they complain Of are OF their
own creating, and the remedy in
their own hands, it is not so easy to
explain but it seems to US that if
the newspaper press would take il in
hand something might be done, and
.lf the subject were taSen up by some
iV~.-rrt - uCTIuSu uL;is-, III ..,.,,.
might be effected while the mors ]
view of the case well deserves TO he
presented in glowing colors from The
pulpit, through which thousands can
be reached AMI induced 10 consider,
who will neither read newspaper es-
says nor attend lectures on SO little a
theme as domestic economy.
A thorough reform OF this habit
would be better than Il protective tar
i'll. The two combined would ban
ISL " hard times" forever"

THE ARRAY or BATTLE.

The folloYjng ex,raSt from the
letter OF French officer, dated
Scbastopol, Dec. 81, gives the
position of the allied armies at that
tine A" A Il along the lines we are
ready for the attack. The batteries
only await being unmasked TO send
forth their volleys The tower in
front Of the English, our brave allies,
and the flagstaff Battery and the
Quarantine Fort, in front of us, are
the three points the occupation of
which Is most important. The town,
however, seems prepared fora vigor-
Gus defence. Mud batteries and in
trenchmenls stare us in the face. -
Traps Of every description are pre-
pared for us. Blu; nature has done
more than man 10 dchy the ruin Of
this wonderfully situated city. Thus,
behind the flagstaff Battery there is
ravlnc, which will have 10 be
descended and then remoun,ed, un-
der cross fire from the Quarantine
Battery and from part of the harbor,
10 enable one to establish n footing
on tho plateau Of this city. This
plateau is covered with dcfences,
batteries and obstacle. The streets
are barricadcd. The town itself is
deserted, silent, melancholy the
houses appear to have been all
abandoned, and the windows are all
open. Al rare intervals sentry
may he seen OH duty, or a workman
at his labor. There is nothing stir
ring TO indicate that there are living
beings in this great cily-not a sign
10 denote the presence of an army I;
the voice of the cannon is the only
voice that is heard. Yet prisoners
assure us that there are baitalions
blvouacklng in every square. Pas
sing by the second parallel to so to
the left, the flagstaff Bastion is
visible on the right. This side Of
the works is defended by various
sorts OF intrcnchmenis. From the
ravino spoken of above the port of
Sebaslopol is seen in the distance /;
It's enormous magazines, siorehouses,
and barracks are distinctly visible
Ii separates the bastlon from the
ruined tower, which kept up SO
tarribia n Era an tho ITtt II n.,..l..
and was in short time completely
demolished by our batteries. Then
we come 10 the Quarantine Fort,
brisllIng with guns, and separated
from us by n rayine, where the
churchyard is situated. This fort,
the gates Of which were almost
touched by the brave General Lour-
mel, when he fell, consists of two
parts, the one turned towards the
land, the other towards the sea, and
joined together by crenllaied
wall. The operations for the attack
are going on there"
COLD WEATHER, BOWS AND BALLS.
A French officer writes from
Sebustopol, under date Of December
81 as follows = :" The other day a
Russian officer presented himself at
the point where the trenches end
with a flag of truce. The works
and firing Immediately ceased on
that point. The Russian approached,
and the officer on duty went Out TO
meet him. He was the bearer of a
letter for the COMMANDMENTS Chief.
Having made his official communica-
siods, the Russian officer, who spoke
