From the Brandon MONTE

From the Brandon Monitor
The editor of the Woodstock Age-semi-
Secesh-says that "some editors don't know
how to make a paper worth circulating "
and that is just the idea We formed the first
time We took glance at his sheet. The ed
itor adds, " We edit Democratic paper such
as it is, but very often when issued we are
ashamed that it is not better" We don't
wonder at this. There are three things that we
should think that any man, mot entirely lost to
ALL sense or shame, would blush purple to
contemplate, viz Having struck his moth
er-stolen coppers from off the eyelids of his
dead father, or edited a northern Secesh
and rum bibber's paper. The spirit of rum
ism and treason move hand in hand, and
there could scarcely be found-we blush to
be obliged to say ia more congenial sol
for the dissemination of the influence of these
twin demons than the columns of two of our
Vermont papers,-this Woodstock Age, and
the Bellows Falls Argus.

@ A touching scene is related as trans
piring in a Philadelphia hospital recently.
Some benevolent ladies had distributed ice
cream to the invalid soldiers, and all gladly
partook of the refreshment save one young,
pale, handsome boy. His eyes were closed,
and one Of the ladies observing him softly
whispered, "The poor little fellow is asleep,
we must not disturb him." "No, ma'am, |
am not asleep" he answered, in silvery
voice, full of the sweetness of innocence and
boyhood. "Well, my little fellow, continued
the lady, as she drew nearer, "are you foud
OF ice cream?" "Very much So" he replied.
"Didnt you see me place this on your little
table p reaching for the plate Of cream
"Oh, yes" he answered, TREMENDOUSLY, "but
shut my eyes and cried to myself" "Cried,
my child why, what made you cry, my dear ?"
ooh, madame if you will pull the quilt down
a little you will see." The lady did so, and
found that he ha no arms. Both of them
