Pursuit of Knowledge.

At village called "The Centre" in
the northern part of Vermont, the boys
and girls last month had dance and a
glorious time generally. A youth, not
having the fear of the bottle before his
eyes, managed to get decidedly in the
fog upon this unwonted occasion, and
slyly withdrew under the bed of the
ladies' dressing room to recruit. No
sooner had he closed his eyes than a
pair of blooming damsels came in from
the hall, and began adjusting their dis
ordered ringlets. The girls had
tongues, which ran On in this wise:
"What nice dance we're having
Have you heard anybody say anything
about me, Jane?"
ola, yes, Sally, Jim Brown says he
never saw you look so handsome as you
do tonight"
slave youheard anything aboutme?''
About you! why sartin; heard
Joe Flint tell Sam Jones that you was
the prettiest dressed girl in the room" "
Whereupon the dear girls ohuckled,
"fixed up little more, and were start
ing off glibly for fresh gossip, when
our half-conscious friend raised himself
upon his elbow, and quite intelligibly,
though slowly, inquired" Ha' you
heard any 6orry sag anything about
Me, girlsg" "Phancy their phelinxs'
at this juncture !" They fed with an
explosive scream.

Lines in Memory Of Lyman G. Hill.

Wake mournful muse, and touch thy saddest
string -,- a~-a-s-ss
Breathe forth in words of plaintive melody
A dirge for the departedl Not for him
The fallen hero of the battle field,
Whose name is waited on the wings of fame,
Till echo sends it back from distant shores;
Not for the dead
Whose dust arrayed in all the pomp of state,
Is borne in solemn grandeur to the tomb.
Nor vet for her, the maid in beauty's bloom,
With brightest charms of youth and love entwined,
Torn ruthless from affections fond embrace, 3
And sent away to feed the loathsome worm.
Oh not for these awake the mournful lyre
For nought is lost to earth when these depart.
The riven heart soon heals, and wealth and fame
Bequeathed; descend to crown new brows, and fiIl
With other forms the momentary void.
A deeper grief demands a sadder strain!
An honest man has left the shores Of earth!
One of the noble uncorrupted few
Who firmly trod the devious walk of life,
With open brow and heart that dared the light.
Whose steadfast virtue needed not the fear
Of future vengeance to sustain its strength;
One who calpd God, his Father, and all men
His 6rofhers--and no brother ever wronged.
Oh is not earth the poorer for the void!
Is not humanity loser by his gain?
A state may lose its head millionaire
Lie down in shroud of gold, and none shall feel
Their presence wantlng-yet for such as he
True hearts shall weep, and build his monument
Within the spacious hall of memory,
And w.'eathe it round with virtuous resolves.
Of such as Mee our brother, earth has none
Too many; and we feel loneliness
Thy vanished presence never more shall fill.
Yet there is sweetness in the tears we shed.
And in our solemn mourning there is joy.
For while we miss thy genial spirit here
Shading its cheerful influence DER our hearts,
And while we sigh for thy untimely fate
We hear a whisper from the higher sphere
Saying, God reigns, and doeth all things we'll !"
Beyond the shadowy mist encircling earth
Faith sees glorious land of fadeless flowers;
Trod by the pure in heart; no stormy sky,
No dark ming night-no blight of joy is there;
No sundering of natures dearest ties;
No ehangeful friendship and no tickle love,
But every aspiration of the soul fufll'd
And full fruitiop of hopes brightest dreams.
There is thy home-wc cannot wish thee hence;
But humbly pray for heavens assisting grace,
To walk with footsteps firm, the path of night
Till death shall ope' for us the door to life,
And bid us enter and rejoice with thee.

You do beat Emerson Bennett, and
Sylvsnus Cobb, and George Martial
and all the rest of the literati who are
devoted to the eolumes of the Ledger.
You know exactly how to keep the mid
night lamp burning, and give young
folks red eyes and head ache to-mor-
row. You know just how to close a
chapter so as to make your readers
hurry to the news office for the next
number. ad
You are cultivated woman, Mrs.
Southworth, but not an inspired one.
You are working for Mr.. Bonner, not
for humanity.
What is this in this corner? GA
woman's right convention was held in
this city recently. There soas some
wheat with the chaff this time. Some
sensible speeches were made and some
good resolutions passed.
We ourselves go for woman's hold
ing her own property and share at
least in her own children" Dear me |!
how liberal! The world is progressing.
Shouldn't wonder if that editor gets to
believe that women have souls, yet.
Hereis something to correspondents.
Somebody wants to know if it is indis-
pensible to congugal felicity, that a
man should be older than his wife.
Ledger replies-"A woman all the
world over is as old at twenty as man
at thirty, that is she has as much judg-
ment, as much tact, as much fnessc,
and she should always be at least ten
years younger than her husband, for
the woman naturally fades first.' I
beg the Ledger's pardon, but a woman
don't naturally fade first. 1t is very
unnatural circumstance owing entire
ly to the artificial countenance of life.
Let man be shut up from childhood
in prison called house, debar him
from all out door invigorating exercises,
let him keep nightly vigils with sick
children while his wife sleeps swad-
die him with heavy and cumbersome
apparel, make him toll with his limbs
fettered; and see if he don't fade too.
Just as if it was law of nature that
woman's life should be shorter than
mans. Auam and Eve we are in
formed were born the same day, and
as there was only one Eve, it seems to
have been Gods intention that she
should last him through. We do not
read that she faded at twenty six and
left her children to the tender mercies
of step-mother. Give girls the same
chance for physical development as
boys release woman from the slavery
of fashion and she will be as young at
forty as man is. Even as it is now, if
a woman happens to survive the first
twenty years of married life, she gene
rally retains her faculties in old age
better than men do. If the Ledger's
theory was correct there would be no
old ladies, at least not as old as the
men, whereas there are quite as many
women who reach their three score and
ten and are more youthful and spright-
ly than men are at that age.
This seco,sd-aoite and step-mother
institution, is something which was
never dreamed of in the original plan
Of nature. FLORENCE.
