Lincoln is doing to-day what | have endeav'
ored to do;--pcrhaps mistaken y, but hon
cstly, throughout my whole life. He is
marching and keeping step to the music ot
the Union, and supporting its flag. The con
sequence is, that whatever our preference is
we have but one course now. There is out
one question and but one side to that qucs-
tion and hence for one of my profession il
is an awkward question to speak upon. We
understand that there must be an issue when

Mr. G. W. Willard followed Mr. Colby.
Mr.. Willard referred to the present condi-
tion OF Our country as entirely unprecedented,
at least in the memory Of most persons now
living in the United States, and as calaul ted
to excite novel and impressive emotions. He
spoke OF the Stars and Stripes as the symbol
Of all that our country holds dear and bcliev.
lieved that we should consider our nationuI
flag as religious symbol He closed by ur-
ging Vermontes to stand by the flag.
Col. Dickey o! Bradford, spoke briefly
but patriotically. He said that h" re

friend and whoever insatcd it as his personal
enemy.
After repeated calls for Ex Lieut.. Gov.
Martin, he came forward and addressed the
meeting, He said that the Flag Of our Un-

Vermont was no place in which to find trait :

Will you not tell US one? One Of Mr.
Caughey's pretty ones, that he used to tell in
the pulpit ? said little girl to her aunt, one
dull November day.
The rain was falling not as ifit were at all
in passion, but calmly and quietly, like the
tears we shed after the first wild burst Of
grief is over, and we can look at sorrow with
the meek and. quiet spirit which is, in the
sight Of God, of great price

'Once u1on time many years ago, there
were number OF little boys playing in one
of the dirtest dingiest darkest alleys of Lon
don, England. The bright beams of the
blessed sun never pierced the den of filth !; it
seemed afraid to look with its pu'e, sweet
beams, upon that miserable place in fact the
houses were SO high, and t,e alley was so
narrow, that the sun would have had but a
small chance of succeeding, were he even to
have tried to shine down there-sc, like a
wise sun, he did not make the attempt; but
left the alley alone in its g loom. Yet still
the boys played on, needless of the dirt and
the darkness, and the tall ghostlike houses
that surrounded them.
Their game at last led them opposite a
house that appeared still darker, dirtier, and
more gloomy than any of the others.

amongst them, don't let's play here. Let

to the top.most room Of this dirtiest house
There is an old woman there, who has been
very bad and very wicked and she is dying;
and she says she is going to hell; and she
is dying; aud she says she is gcing to hell ;
and she hnoaos the devil is only waiting to drag
her down there. o, boys, let us 60 away, tor
they say you can hear her talking to the devil
at nights, and the devil says he must and
will have her.
The boys for a few moments werc silent.
They looked with feeling of awe and fear
at the OLD house, and at the room where tho
devil was said to pay his nightly visit, wait.

Meeting Of the Citizens of Montpelier.

The meeting was organized by appointing
Mr.. james Il. Thurston, Chairman and Mr.
B. K. Smith, Secretary.
MIR. L. V. Randall stated, that the pur-
pose for which the meeting had been called
was, to inform thepeople what had been done
in accordance with the wishes of tho people,
expressed at former meeting. He had been
authorized to enroll volunteers, and had re
ccived sixty.one names. Two Of the volun-
seers fought in the Mexican war, one fought
nobly for the mother country, and four had
received a military education.
Rev Mr.. Lord being called for, stepped
upon the platform and said

They received the usual coupons, but didn' t

Flowers in Succession.

It will be seen that in order to have o con
tinued succession of flowers through the sea-
sou, o judicious selection Of sorts, aud a
proper arrangement of the flower garden,
must be made
The earliest flowers of the spring are
those Of the Crocus, Snow Drop, &c. If
these are cultivated in beds, they should be
near the house, so that their beauty may be
enjoyed without involving the necessity of
walk over wet and muddy paths, Or water
soaked lawn, Many Of the early Towering
shrubs should find place ar the house for
the same reason. After these early flowers
come the Tulip, the Hyacinth, Narcissus,
and other spring towering bulbs, with the
Dicentra Or Diely ira, (the most beautiful and
graceful OF herbaceous plants,\ the early
Peones and Phoxes, &C., and these are sue
ceeded by the great host of herbaceous plants,
Roses, the early varieties Of Annuals which
have been started in hot-bed, and many va
rietics o! Shrubs. After these the main ar
my of Annals enter the field for the sum.

A little stud dy o! varieties Of plants and
shrubs. and their time Of foN ering, habit,

sense and a fair amount OF taste, SO to dis

out the garden, that no portion shall be en-
tirely destitute of floral beauty at any time
during the soason.-Count'y Gentleman.
