distlust in the continued success OF our repuD-

outraged and overcome, our boasted democracy
will be but another name for despotlsn. 1t IS,
however, matter Of just pride and congratula-

proved unsuccessful, and that the people OF that
rich and growing territory, boldly dciying the
threats of executive power and nlhy spurnnS

Ex-Gov FLETcHER.-Wc part with the wist
and judicous counsels of Gov. Fletcher with
much regret. Never have the people been blessed
with the services of one who more earnestly and
conscicntiously watched over their interests,
happiness and prosperity than Gov. Fletcher
The first Governor of Vermont thoroughly i'm
bucd with lively interest in the welfare of the
slave, his administration will long be remem-
bcrcd by the people of the State, and their kind
est regards follow him to the quiet of his home.

THF ELECTION OF CLERK. The result of
the election Of Clerk was as any one would
reasonably expect. Mr., Slade mad made no
exertions for the place, and the vote he received
was equally unexpected to him and to ourself. At
the nomination the first vote stood Sladc, SO;
Cummings, 60 ; and one for one who was a friend
of Mr.. Slade, and wishes US to say that while
occupying his present position, he shall thank
no one to vote for him for any Office whatever.
Thus it will be seen that had the scattering
vote been given for Mr.. Slade, he would have
been nominated by the same majority by which
Mr.. Cummings was elected. The large vote
for Mr. Slade at election shows the dctermna-
ton of alarge portion Of the members, although
bound by party usages to support the man
nominated. But we are glad to learn that
Mr.. Cummings makes a very efficient Clerk, and
gives universal satisfaction.

A NAME IN THE SAND.

A few days since, we stood with friend on
the sea shore. The tide which had receded,
left the sand perfectly smooth. Our friend
with the end Of his cane, wrote his name in full
on the sand, and we passed on. But the first
flow of the tide of course entirely eifaced that
name, and left the sand as if nothing had been
written on it. This led US mentally to inquire
how many Of the busy sons Of earth, labor
hard and toll long to write their names in the
sand, only to be washed away by the fast flow
ing waters of oblivion. Thousands have faced
the cannons mouth and forced their way through
ranks of bristling steel, to gain name. But
where now is the name thus written in blood?
Entirely forgotten, with very few exceptions.
Scholars too have wasted their energies over
the midnight lamp, and found an early grave in
search of O name. That name was gained; ;
but it was only written in the sand.
How much we. all, in our various pursuits,
are struggling for q name; but we are merely
walking BY the sea-shore, and if our names are
written to our satisfaction, they will not be
found after the next tide. Who knows the
names of the many millions who have peopled
our earth Each thought as much Of his name
while living, as we do Of ours. But the very
dust under our feet contains their own animated
dust, and yet their very napss were long since
forgotten.
Let us then, strive for something better than
an earthly name written in the moving sand.
A name that can never perish, written in "the
Lambs Book of life," should be the high point
of our aspirations. That is attainable, and yet
how few are striving to have them there recor-
ded. The present is regarded rather than the
future by short-sighted mortals-Olive Branch.

On the following day, the children were
equally ill-behaved, and poor Francesca this

there fell out of it quite number of bright
silver pieces. =,
The mother was alarmed, and said, Stake

Francesca carried it back, but the benevolent

THE LOAF.

Once upon time, during famine, rich
man invited twenty Of the poorer children in
the town to his house, and said to them:
SIN this basket there is a loaf of bread for
each Of you; take it, and come back every day
y: this hour, till God sends US better times.H
The children pounced upon the basket, wran-
gled and fought for the bread, and each wished
TO get the largest loaf; and at last went away,
without even thanking him.
Francesca alone, poor but neatly dressed
girl, stood modestly apart, took the smallest

EXCELLENT RULEs.-Always take the part
of an absent person who is censured in compa-
ny, so far as truth and propriety will allow.
Never dispute if you can fairly avoid it.
Nor dispute with an old man more than sew
enty years Of age, nor with woman, nor with
an enthusiast.
Nor affect to be witty, or to jest, so as to
wound the feelings Of another.
Say as little as possible of myself and those
who are near me.
Aim at checriulness without levity.
Never court the favor of the rich, by fatter-
ing their vanity and vices.
Speak with calmnes' and consideration on
all occasions; especially in circumstances which
tend to irritate =
Frequently review my conduct and not my
failinss.
On all occasions to have in prospect the end
of life and future state.

GIVE Your BOYS TRADE.-Frankin says
" He who has trade has al estate," and never
was a more true or more useful maxim uttered
by that great man.. Many were the rules of con-
duct laid down by him, and practiced 100, through
all his long life, which, if followed by all men, in
all times and ages, would greatly improve the
condition and circumstances of the multitude.
The above saying is easy to be understood by all,
and applicable to all professions or pursuits. A
great day will it be for our country when the
youth shall be induced or compelled to adopt
some calling, whether mcrchantle or what is
really mechanical. And crater day will it he
when more of them shall chose the latter-to be-
come respectable mechanics, rather than second
rate lawyers, OF doctors, or divines.
