of its finances. The total disbursements of the
State revenue. for the year ending the Sd day
Of Augusta last, were only sl5s, 1917 about
twentyseven times less than the actual ex-
penses Of the government of the city of New
York, which has considerably less than twice
the population of Vermont, and there was 4
balance of money in the treasurer's hands at
the end of the year amounting to SIC. 700.
The expenses of the legislature were about
se4, 100; the State printing cost s7,42l; ex-
eeuiive salaries and expenses 50. 46i; ladicia-
~ and prosecuting crimes s9e. 469. nearly one
half of the State expenses. For the relief Of
the poor $4,000. Paid for paupers in asylum

On this Kansas question the president SAYS

men, they will commence the agitation of this
new question with an indisputable violation on
their own part Of an express compact between
the independent sovereign powers Of the Uni

the older and equally solemn eompacts of the

PHASES OF LIFE.

On cold day in January last, pen
sive-faced boy, apparently nine or ten
years of age, sat in brokers' Office, in
Wall Street, twirling between his thumb
and forefnger, bright new penny upon
the baized table before him.
The occupant of the office had gone to
the Board" leaving word with his boy
to close up at the usual time that he
would not return again that day, as he
was going to take sleigh-ride.
The thumb and finger continued max
ing the rapid whirls of the penny. The
mind within was also engaged; his skates,
his little sleigh, and his dinner were the
objects Of his thought-for the bit that
mother gave him for his lunch was swal-
lowed before ten o'clock. "He could
not help it, he was so hungry" Besides
mother had promised that she would try
and have dinner that day; and Hope
whispered she would, and then-such fun
on his sleigh with the neighboring boys
A restless desire to get home soon fol-
lowed visions of so much happiness.
He must look at the Trinity clock
"Ten minutes . he softly articulated, 'and
my time will be up" As he closed the
door forlo1n-looking man pushed to-
wards him, with hat in hand, supplicating
charity. The reverie was broken.
Child and man looked long and silently
at each other. Then the latter, with a
still idiotic stare, exclaimed, Whose boy
are you?"
''Mrs. Hammet's," replied the bereavet
but ingenious child.
"Don't tell a s-t-o-r-y!'' drawled the
half-conscious man; is not your name
Charley? and do you know Henry ?"
" No, sir," answered the innocent-faceC
boy.
The unhappy ymanre-crossedth the thresh
hold with the vague, uncertain feeling tha
the little paleface and himself stood in re
lation to each other.
1t was true.
The father and son had again met
And the hope of the young child, which
a few minutes before had so buoyed hin
up-up-where was it? Gone
The little form sank down. The tear
flowed full and fast. My poor father
was spoken in low and heart-broken tone
by the striken child. The cross" wa
already his. Skates, sleigh, dinner-a
were forgotten in that cruel anguish.
Again the penny was turned, and, j
q an interval of child-like grief, he wishe
he could spend it. But-No! the penn
must be kept for the ferryman. He crosse
the river to reach his home-the hon
Of his lone mother who, for six Ion
years, had toiled and struggled, friendle
