The Five Thousand Dollars for the
Cause of Temperance.

TO the FreHds of temperance IN Vermont !:
The present state Of the Treasury of
our Society, makes it imperatively neces-
sary for the Executive Committee to make
an urgent appeal for funds to aid in car
rying torwar the work during the pre-
sent year. At the Annual Meeting Of
the Society in the month of December
last, it was Resolved: "rhat we deem il
practicable and incumbent upon Us, to
raise the sum of 1000 to be expended
according to the direction of the Execu-
tive Committee, for the successful prose
culion Of the Temperance reform in our
Stale"
Immediatly after this meeting the Ex-
ecutlye Committee was called together TO
form their plans for the year, There
was no money in the Treasury, but the
Society evidently expected that a. large
sum would be realized during the year.
If we waited until the funds should be
collected, the most favorable season of the
year would lie lost by delay. The Com
miltee decided therefore to empoy an
Agent Immediately, and to depend on the
friends OF the cause for ,he necessary
fluids. The Committee ON Finance was
called together, and committees appointed
in the different counties 10 collect the
money.
More than a quarter of year has
passed. The SUCCESS OF our efforts for the
promotion of tle cause, has been very
gratifying, A large number of meetings
have been held, Town and County 30
cielies have been organized. The peo pie,
generally, show an in, reased interest in
the cause, and it seems plain that the
present is the favorable tine TO work.
But the Treasury has not been flied
up We have not sufficient funds to car
ry the work forward ON the present scale
OF OF, rat0ns.
But the Society expects us to do much

Horace Greeley's Ride to Pa
cerville.

When Mr.. Greeley was in California,
ovaions awaited him at every town. tie
had written powerful leaders in the 7ii-
Jlac in favor of the Pacific railroad.
which had greatly enleared him to the
citizens of the Golden State. And there
fore they made much Of him when he
went to see them.
At one town the enthusiastic populace
tore his celebrated white coat to pieces,
and carried the pieces home TO remember
him 10y.
The citizens of Placerville prepared to
fetc the great journalist, and an extra
coach, with relays of horses was charter
ed of the California stage company to
carry him from Fusom to Placcryille-
distant forty miles. The extra was delay
ed, AMI did not leave Fulsom until late
in the afternoon Mr. Greeley was to be
leted at seven o'clock by the citizens OF
Placerville, and it was altogether ncces-
s'ry that he should be there by that hour
So the Stage Company said to Henry
Monk, the driver OF the extra, "'Henry,
this man must be there by seven o'clock
tonight" And he answered, "The
great man shall be there"
l he roads were in an awful states and
during the first few miles out of Fulsom
slow progress was made.
"Sir," said Mr.. Greeley, "are you
aware that | must be at Placerville at
seven O'Clock tonight ~
1--we got my orders" laoonically re-
turned Henry Monk.
Still the coach dragged slowly forward
"Sir," said Mr. Greeley, 'rhs is not
triAing matter. l m4a be there at
seven"
Again came the answer "'ve got my
orders"
But the speed was not increased, and
Mr.. Greeley chated away another half
hour; then, as he was about to remon-
strate with the driver, the horses started
into furious run, and all sorts of encour-
aging yells filled the air from the throa!
OF Henry Monk.
"Ihats right, my good fellow !" said
Mr.. Greeley. ON give you len dol
larswhen we arrive at Placeryille. Now
we are going -
They were, indeed, and at q terrible
speed.
Crack Crack went tho whip, and
again that voice split the air "Glt up
Hi vi! G'long! Yip-yip!"
And on they tore, over stones and ruts,
up hill and down, at rate never before
achieved by stage horses.
Mr. Greeley, who had been bouncing
from one end of the coach TO the ttler
like an lnda-rubber ball, managed TO get
his head ont of the window, when he
suid;
"Don't-ont-on't you think we-e-e shall

moro than we are now doing. The work
cannot be carried forward efficiently with
out distributing Temperance documents,
without large public meetings, and tho
aid of prominent advocates Of the cause
from abroad, in addition to the agent Of
society. The Committee are prepared
TO 60 forward to go forward inst as fast
and as far as they are provided with tho
means of doing so.
In this state of things, we lay our case
before the liberal friends of the cause, and
ask them to fill up the treasury. The sum
Of S5, 600 may seem large, but it is not a
tithe Of what the liquor dealers are ex-
pending to affect the legislation Of tho
country. 1t is a smaller sum than is ex-
pended by the Domestic Missionary Socie-
ty Of a single religious denomination each
year within the State. 1t is small sum
in view Of the work to be accomplished,
and OF the agencic, which the Committed
can employ for prosecuting it. It is small
in view of the present exigencies of the
Temperance cause. Although its friends
are arousing themselves, it is not to be for
COTTON that for some years the tendencies
have been wrong. The young men have
been forming habits, which, if not speed
lily checked, will in a few years cover our
State with Incorporate men. The demor-
alizing effects of war haye been felt. A
well-informcd public man receatly stated
that there never was so much crime in
the State as at present, and most of it was
due to intemperance. It is within our
power to turn back this tide. We have
the year Of the people, we have an efficient
prohibitory law, which has been sustained
by the decision Of the Supreme Court of
the United States, and the responsibility
rests with the temperance men of the
State.
The Executive Committee desire that
the Committees in the various Counties
will urge forward the collections in the
towns, and that the money, when collect
ed, be forwarded to the Treasurer, Geo.
w. Scott, af Montpelier.
BY order of the Executive Committee,
B, +. RAY, Chairman.

back to the first and told him all-how
we had been plighted to each other,
waiting only for better prospects to be
wed, and how, when he had honored me
by offering his hand, / angered my grand
parents by owning to the truth, and of
the ring grannie had stolen from my
breast, and the false message that had
sent my promised husband from me.
"And though 1 never see Evan Locke
again." said |, '.still eau never he an
other nuns true love, for | am his until
/ die"
Then, as | looked, all the rich color
faded out of his check, and | saw the
sight we seldom see more than once in a
life-time-a strong young man III tears.
AT last he rose and came to Inc.
only little Agatha ncv9r loved me-" he
smd. "Ah, me! thought she did,
This comes of vanity"
"Many higher and faircr have hearts
to give" | said. "MIinc was gone ere
you saw me-"
And then, kind and gentle as though |
had not grieved him, he gave me his arm
and saw me home across the moor, and at
the gate paused and whispered:
'l5e at rest, Agatha. The good ship
Golden George has not set sail yet"

done before that night when told gram

who rode away with the break of the
morrow, and never stopped until he gam
ed Liverpool and found Evan Locke just
ready to set foot on the Golden George
and told him tale that made his heart
light and sent him back to me- But oul
young Squire? God bless him
And who was 1t that sent old grand
father the deed of gift that made the cot
tagc his own, and who spoke kind wore
to the gentry for young Doctor Locke
that hepled him into practice! Still no on
but Squire Turner, whom we taught oul
children to pray for every night. For W.

eldest was nigh two, the thing | needed t,

far away over the sea, where he had beer
three COOL twelve months, came ou

blushcd beside him, and the Hall had ;

Eh, but its an old story-she that

cred and old; and then they opened tin
vault whore the Squire had slept tt
years to put her beside him; and Eve no
thing lett of Evan, my life and my love
but his memory, and it seems as if ever

MISCELLANY.
SQUIRE TURNER.
DY MARY KYLE DALLAS.

| sat spinning at my little wheel, in the
sun, for the autumn day was Goldfish,
when | heard some one whisling, and,
looking up, there was young Squire Tur-
ner, with his arms folded on the gate,
looking over.
When he caught my eye he laughed
and blushcd, and arose and made him
a courtesy.
lie was a handsome gentleman, the
squire, and the hand he had pulled ont
from the glove shimmered in the sun with
pearls and diamonds, and lie had lace
ilils at his wrist and breast, and was
bonny to look at in the sunlight with his
hair like spun gold.
When courtcsicd he bowed, making
his ours dance over his shoulders, and he
said
'Ive spoiled enc pretty picture that |
could have looked at all day. but Eye
made another as pretty, so Ill not grieve
May | come in?'
"And welcome, SIR said |, and set
chair for him, for he was grandfaher's
landlord, and the squire; but for all that
felt uncomfortable, for | was not used
to fine company.
He talked away, paying me more COM
pliments than | was used to for grand
mother, who brought me up, always
said, "IIandsome is as handsome does, -
and ''Beauty is but skin deep"
Since I'm telling the story I'll tell the
truth. l had done wrong about one
thing.
Neither of the old folks knew that |
wore Evan Lock ring in my bosom, or
that we'd taken "a vow TO each other be
side the hawthorn that grew in the CHI h
| lane. | never meant to deceive; but
gIannie was old and little hard, and
| that love of mine was such secret Be-
sides, money seems to outweigh all else
when people have struggled all THAR lives
to turn II penny, and they knew Evan
was poor. | thought I'd wait a little till
/ could sweeten the news with the fact
he'd begun his fortune.
Grannie came in from the dairy five
minutes after the squire had gone, and
heard he'd been thore. | diin't tell her
of the iise speeches but there was a
key-hole to the door she came through,
and if | have a guess, she heard them
all
That night we had something else to
think Of Mslortunes had come upon
grandfather; but | didn't foresee that
when the half years rent should come
due, not penny to pay it with would be
found.
All this time Evan and l had been as
fond as ever of other, and he came as
often as before to talk with grandpa win
ter nights; and still every little while our
young landlord, Squire Turner, would
happen in and sit in his lazy way watch
ing me knit or spin. Once or twice he
was flushed with wine and over bold, for
he tried to kiss me- But Squir. or no,
boxed lis ears Tor his pains, and no softer
