TEMPERANCE.

RESOLVED. that temperance is guide to all
the social virtues.
AS sat thinking in half dreamy
state the resolution for discussion, fell
asleep, and soon found myself in a large
company of children, youth, and few cl-
derly persons, who seemed at loss which
way to 60. They all wished for happi-
ness and intimate acquaintance with the
virtues; yet seemed to be without guide,
when suddenly there appeared female
form. Her countenance was pleasant, yet
sedate--a heatbful glow mantled her
cheeks. Her step was elastic. yet firm
aud steady. A wreath of evergreen
crowned her head In her hand she held
a goblet of pure cold water, clear as crys-
tai, and altogether. she was a most lovely
being While VIC stood gazing she smil-
ingly addressed us; " My name is Tenn
perapce. [ came to guide you to the
abodes Of those beautiful sisters called
the virtues. Place yourselves under my
care and guidance, and you shall surely

Grating, this soul refreshing beverage. 1t

dashes over the rocks, where sometimes
the sunshine catches it. and it sparkles

ridge, you pass in northeasterly di-
rection over broken masses Of rocks till
you begin to ascend the smoother sur
face Of the Chin, which rises more ab.
rubtly till you reach spur of mountain
that extends westerly of the main ridge;
and forty or fifty rods northeasterly Of
this, rise in solitary grandure, the highest
point of land in Vermont, the elimination
peak of the Green mountain range. From
this point, the view, extending as it does
in every direction for the distance Of
sixty or seventy miles, and embracing
within its circuit portion Of country Of
such varied and picturesque scenery, can
but be one of surprising sublimity, beau
ty and grandeur. No place perhaps in
New England furnishes more interes-
ting variety Of objects to attract the
attention of all classes, than can be
found among the mountain peaks and
ranges in Vermont, especially in the
vicinity of Mansfield. And here thous-
ands from the principal cities and towns
in the northern states, resort as d res
pite from the business and cares Of city
life, to spend portion Of the summer
months in seeing Nature as i. is, and
enjoying the healthful and invigorating
influence of the mountain atmosphere.
Here the agriculturist will find what to
him is attractive and beautiful. in the
smiling fields, and the rich and verdant
meadows along "the valleys that run
among the hills" Here, too, the bota.
mist will find an ample field for excr.
else in his favorite pursuit. in the mul.
tiude of towering plants in the valleys,
and in the myriads of moses found on
the mountains. The geologist finds tho
facts existing here, that enable him to
trace the formation of these rocky masses
beneath the bed ofthe ocean, and their
upheaval to their present form; and here
too, may be seen the elements of decay,
in the deep assures already forming and
constantly widening, which must. in
time, as they have done in some former
age, remove large masscS of the noun
tains from their present beds. The as.
trouomer, too, raised above the dining
mists of the plains below, will here find
purer atmosphere and a more resplen.

SAIDEE.
BY BEN d. HoUSR.

Through this world of care and sadness,
Long wandered up and down,
Seeking for the lethean waters.
In the country and the town.
But phantom eer before me,
Mucked me with denoniac glee
Pointing backward, ever backward
O'er life's troubled, stormy sea.
Death longed for ever prayed for;
Hoping that deaths river o'er:
Sorrows would be forgotten,
That I'd known on earthly shore.
Father, mother, in the churchyard
Long had slept beneath the sod;
Well knew God chastened justly;
But could not kiss the rod.
| had almost learned the lesson.
Learned my fellow man to hate
When an earthly angel saved me
From the dark misanthrope' fate.
And bless the hour met her
Met this maiden who at last
Freed me from the haunting presence
OF the phantom of the past.
All her childish love she gave me,
Bright beaming from her eye
And love this little maiden,
With a love that ne 'er can die.
In the dim uncertain future,
Though our paths lie far apart
Sweet and garnished for the presence,
Are the chambers of my heart.
Now the earth no more desert
But garden bright with flowers,
And the dreary past forgotten
In the hopes of future hours.
And the ever haunting phantom
Of the lonely past has fed;
Through life's greenest brightest pastures
BY little child I'm led.

MANSFIELD MOUNTAIN.
BY ii. D0T0N.

This mountain has long been regarded
as the eliminating point of that part of
the great Appalachian Mountain System
known as the Green Mountains Of VT,
and is the highest land in the state, be-
ing about ITO feet higher than Killington
Peak, in Sherburne, and more than 300
feet higher than Camel's Hump in Hun
tington.
am not aware that any attempt was
made to determine the heights of these
mountains by accurate scientific measure
ments with proper instruments previous
to the year 1920; soon after which, Capt
Alden Partridge who at that time had
the superintendence of fourishing sci
entiic and military academy at Norwich,
Vt, made barometical measurements of
many of the mountain peaks in this and
other states. Since these measurements
we're made by Capt. Partridge, repeated
efforts have been made to determ-
inc their heights barometically and by
other methods, and in most cases with
but slightly varying results. But in the
measurements of Mansfield, these varia-
tions have been somewhat greater. In
the summer of 1868, the writer of this
article made measurement of Killing
ton Peak and of some other points, with
very gratifying results, by carrying up
series Of levels from previously determin-
ed bases, and having communicated the
results of these measurements to Prof. A.
Guyot of Princeton College, n. j., who
has for some time been engaged in de-
termining the physical character and fea-
lures of the Appalachian Mountain Sys-
tenn of North America, he suggested that
Mansfield claimed our attention." In
accordance with this suggestion, about
the middle of Aug. last we commenced a
series of levels at Waterbury railroad
station, and continued it along the line
of the old plank road through Waterbury
centre ard Stowe lower village to Stowe
then following the direction of the west
fork Of Waterbury river to the West
Branch village aud Tenney's Mil at the
foot Of the mountain, then up to the east
erly slope to the halfway house, summit.
house. &c, to the summit Of the "chin, y
which is the highest of the Mansfield
group, and the eliminating point in the
Green Mountain range.
The height of the top of the sleepers
the railroad track at Waterbury station
above the ocean has been determined by
the several railroad surveys, and was Civ.
en- by Prof Zadock Thompson, who had
the best access to all the reliable sources
of information necessary for determining
its height, and was himself careful and
accurate observer. This point was also
taken as the base Of the barometer meas.
uremcnt of Mansfield made by Prof. Guy.
OF in 1857. u
The height of the mountain above tide
water and also the heights of all the i'm.
portant points taken on the route. are
given in the following table all based
upon the height Of the top Of the sleep.
