Lesson for Croakers.

An eccentric lawyer named Burgess, many
years ago, lived in New England village,
and became quite noted for skeptical notions.
Attending town meeting, after its adjourn
ment, he fingered among the groups of sub
stantial farmer deacons who composed it, and
listened to the prevailing conversation. The
bad weather, the fly, the rot, the drouth, and
the wet were discussed, when some one turned
to Burgess and asked,
GLOW comes on your garden 2"
IL never plant anything" replied Burgess,
with solemn face Il am afraid evca to
put potatoe in the ground"
1t is no WONDER groaned one of the per-
sons present, " it is no wonder, for man who
disbelieves in religion could not expect tc
have his labors blessed"
Il am not afraid of failing in my reward
for my work." replied Burgess, "but | an
afraid that agricultural labor will make me-
proIane. If planted single potatoe, wha
would be the result Why, should get W
iu the morning, look about and growl-it
going to rain, and will spoil my potatoe; il
dry weather should say-the drouth will xii
my potatoe; then | should be unhappy, be
cause the rot might destroy my potatoe: il
fact, gentlemen concluded Burgess, in sol
cmn manner, II should be afraid to do any
thing that would cause me constantly to dis
trust Providence"
The reproach was keenly felt by man,
present; and for months afterwards, the far
mers, with the fear of Burgess before thei
eyes, talked of blessings, rather than the evil
attending their labors.

an escaped panel of the outer door, we en-
tered the dilapidated hail. Time alone has
not been busy with the decorations and EN-
belishments. The moth has luxuriated in
abodes of velvet richness, and fed on their
downy folds; the sharpened tooth of the rat
has laid out sporting grounds along the walls
up the ceiling, around the partitions and SOL
emn-seated pews the wasp was busy in newly
coating the ceiling; and the swallow, unimpe-
ded in its entrance by paneless window-panes,
was chirping its gleeful coaxing to tender
brood-in their masonic houses upon the old
gallery pillow From crevice in the de-
parting wall entered brier-vine, and upon it
blossomed single flower. At distant cor
ner, from the moisture Of entering waters,
shot up myriad lichens; and serpent pro-
truded his snake head from an opening to the
cellar. Tones, not unlike the haunting vibra-
tons of the last orchestral chant, still come
solemnly over the atmosphere; they were
spun from the dcath-strings Of woven spider
webs, and their prey of buzzing flies. Back
above the pulpit arose the successive rows OIL
seats where the presence of the "leader oil
the singing" held his place. The galleries
of long aisles for squeaking shoes and trim
collars of the young people to walk promptly
to the furtherest square pew. On the floor
and the pews, and all around the tapeStriet
walls, hung the solemn accents of the bene
diction; the pulpit, the motioness pews, al
ready to depart; the rustling of swallow
wings awakened in our mind the presence o
rustling silks; the rattle of the soft gale i'm
tated the footsteps Of the last congregation
and as we neared its open portals, we met TIT
hearse and bier, ready to bear away its fol
| lows.

BRIDAL PREsENTs.-Hymen still continued
to be the ruling divinity in the upper circles
of the town. Every day there is grand
wedding, and the carriges of the guest fill the
streets of the neighborhood The great
rivalry at these weddings seems to be in re-
gard to Bridal Presents and every succeed
ing nuptial show far eclipses all previous ex-.
hibitations. One entire room is devoted to
these gifts (some malicious persons call them
temporary ZONES, )and the artcas of bijouterie
are spred out and labelled with the names of
the donors, and frequently with the accom-
panying presentation notes. The display is
equal to a jewellers shop. There are knick-
knacks of use and ornament ranging in val
ue from five to five thousand dollars; and
the aggregate cost Of the presents often swells
to q fabulous figure. We have heard esti-
mates as twenty-6 thousand dollars.
A mercinary wag remarked, on gazing at
one of these grand shows, that " it was really
an object in these times to get marrisd. -
Among the latest of these bridal displays,
we noticed novelty, in the shape of sacred
vestments, Ito be worn nearest the person of
the brdo,)-a muslin mystery of lace and
embroidery that battles all description. But
the subject is altogether too delicate for pro-
fame handling-and too delicate, we thing,
for public exhibition. Besides, to find such a
rutied bosom in the nuptial paradise, is not
exactly the thing-N Y. Mirror.

and sobriety, and saved them from those +"
evil communications, which too often lead to
folies and excuses in childhood and youth ;,
AT very early age they were instructed IN
letters, and as they passed along in youth,
were taught all the branches that are taught
in the schools. Her son was instructed In
Latin at eleven years of age.
Mrs Edwards lived to the age OF ninety
nine years, departed with the consciousness
that she had not lived in vain. And We can
but express our gratitude that " woman's
rights" had not, at that time, so far prevailed
as to call her from the family circle to con-
tend in the stormy area of politics, or profess
ional life. Her home influence outshone a
dozen such lives. To train one Jonathan
Edwards is greater privilege than to be
president of the United States, or the autocrat
of all the Russias and had we more Mrs.
Edwardses, we should, no, doubt, sec more
Jonathans rising up to stir and bless the world.

Written for the Green Mountain Freeman.
A New Years Address.

A Happy New Year to all, say we. Yes,
for the Old Year has passed forever into Eter-
nifty, and another bright one has come to take
its place. Who can say to how many it will
prove happy one? 1t has come laden with
| Joy and sorrow, hope and fear-freightcd with
Fortunes brightest smiles for one, her darkest
frowns for another. But the gift is not ours
to read the Future; yet we can review the
Past; it is ours to revert to by-gone years
which have passed into Oblivion, but whose
memory will last forever.
When the year that has butn left us was
in its infancy, did we think we should survive
to witness it grow old, and takes its final de-
parture from earth? All many were the
doubts and fears. And how have we kept
pace with it Have we accomplished all our
designs? Have we fulfilled all the promises
of amendment with which we began the year +!
Have we done good to our fellow-mortals
caused one heart to leap with joy, and blend
our names with their prayers to Heaven? In
short, have we employed the year in manner
that was pleasing in the sight of that God
who sustains both time and us!
These are questions which Conscience nat
urally prompts within all, whose souls arc not
utterly depravcd, and insensible to the count
less blessings that are everywhere showcred
upon u.s.
Yet few are they who can answer them
And why is it? Why, when we start with
such noble resolves, feeling almost that
nought but Death shall break them-why can
we not triumph over the petty cares of every
day life, and win the laurel! So that, when
the Present takes its leave we can come forth
from the trials unscathed, to be crowned with
that wreath of immortal glory happy in the
memories of the Past; rich in anticjpation'
Of the Future and welcoming the New Veal
with louder hosannas of praise.
But no Gods wisdom is seen in all hi
laws If we were assured of overcoming al
obstacles, life would have no aim, no hope, nc
ambition, and we should look upon it as hard
ly worth the asking. So with the gifts Goo
is daily granting us. Let we will try" be
our motto, and with this New Year let eocl
and all commence anew We cannot fail Of
accomplishing some good deed, and, however
small it may be- in future hours OF reflection
it will exert happy influence over us.
Let the guarding Of our actions be thu
guiding of our lives. And if we live to SCI
again another year pass away, may we waf
it no regretful sigh; but review it with pleas
ure, in thinking " we have tried to make it
and so may it truly prove, "A Hlppy Neu
Year to ALL" MAY.
