Vermont is a beautiful little state, !
and il ought to be re-anneXed to New
sYork.-aS a Summer Garden, or sum
mer Park or porteyrc, or Jones
MOOD or as something of the sort. All
OF us will have to go there in Summer
hereafter for our Central Park. The
dust never gets up high enough to cover
its green hills. One can live on milk
and honey, and the milk Is not watered
yet-and the eggs are not addled,-and
Ndbe chickens are plenty,-and the NUT
Non is mutton, and not old sheep. Pref.
Nv waiter girls wait on one, everywhere,
not the pretty waiter girls of New
York, but the pretty waiter girls OF
Vermont. Caesar, Scipio and Sambo
have not yet displaced them. They en-
Velope YOU in curls when they wait
around YOU at dinner, and they brush
you with crinoline. They have not for
gotten how to blush yet, and indeed
when work is over, they appear better
than many a more aspiring Miss in the
saloon. If they would only learn how
to make bread, and how to roast not to
bake meat, l would advise every New
Yorker to go up and take a pretty
waiter Vermont girl for wife, provided
he could be SO fortunate as to get one.
BY the way, why can't you Express folks
induce Mr., Secretary Stanton to induce
Mr. President Johnson to issue an ediCt
against Sal -Eratas, and to have tried by
Joe Holt's Military Commission all
these pretty Vermont waiter girls that
put Sal -E,0tHS in their bread If were
King Stork, | would do it. Think oil
two or three hundred thousand Yer.
mont women poisoning husbands
fathers and brothers with Sal -Eratus
Think Of the dyspepsia they must give
them Think how they must kill theil
husbands and brothers here
There is a law in Vermont aglinS
rum, but none against Sa! Eratus
There is law against circuSeS

Mansfield is 1890 feet up, but Jay Pc
claims to be higher up yet. All the
mountains, this year, have been full
travellers. The mountain maids, wi
their short frocks, long boots, and
pine sticks, have been almost as nun
rous as the mountain men, Vermc
and New Hampshire have become
switzerland of American travel, q
have been, this year about as full
travellers. A board to sleep on has,
times, been 3 luxury, so crowded ha
