THE JOURNEY OF LTE.-Ten thousand hu-
man beings set forth together on their jour
ney. After ten years one third, at least have
disappeared. At the middle point Of the
common measure of life but half are still
upon the road. Faster and faster, as the
ranks grow thinner, they that remain till now
become weary, and lie down and rise no more.
At threeseore and ten band of some four
hundred yet struggle on. At ninety these
have been reduced to a handful of thirty
trembling patriarchs. Year after year they
fall in diminishing numbers. One fingers,
perhaps. lonely marvel, till the century is
over. We look again, and the work of death
is finished. Bishop Burgess.

POETRY.


RECOGNITION.
There comes a wanderer, staff in hand,
Homeward returning from distant lands.
His beard is tangled, his face 10 brown;
Win they know him again in his native town.
Enraptured he nears the city gate,
Where the toller Of yore is standing in wait
Twas youthful comrade, true and fast,
Once many winecup between them passed.
Yet strsnge-the l-gatherer knew him not;
Do beard and sunshine his features blot?
He shakes the dust from the trodden boot;
He ms in silence, with brief salute.
Behold dis true love stands at the door;
Thou blooming fair one we come once more"
But the maid unconscious, remains unmovedi
She knows not the voice Of her once loved.
He bends his steps towards his childhoods home
To his cheeks so brown the tesr-drops come,
Near the cot his mother is vending her way;
"God bless the, beloved" is all he can say.
The mother she turns and shouts with joy
In her arms she is clasping her truant boy.
Though the sun may smart and the beard may
grog,
The mother-the mother her son doth know.

BURLINGTON IrEMs.-The Times says
there were several petty thefts at the fire
in that city on Thursday evening last.
the principal of which was "raid'.
made by some unknown scoundrels upon
a team standing in front of Mr.. Coles
store, which they confiscated, and driving
it into the yard, loaded it with a tub of
maple sugar, number of hams and
several other articles in the provision
line. These were piled upon the stolen
wagon, which was driven to King street.
where it was upset and the horse ran
off Nye's Dock, where he was, after some
difficulty, rescued. The sugar tub was
left in the abandoned wagon but the
hams the burglars carried away. The
police are in pursuit of the thieves and
we expect they will be "nabbed."
There was another alarm of fire in
Burlington on Friday evening, at about
ten O'Clock, which brought the firemen
with their apparatus, out, but it proved
to be false one, being occasioned by q
bright light in the direction Of Clinton
Vile, N. Y, and the firemen and citizens
dispersed, relieved to know that the
fiery demon was not again running ram
pant in their midst.
"A young man named Daily, an en-
ployee of the Burlington Manufacturing
Company, had his right hand caught
under the big hammer of the rolling
mill Friday forenoon, and so badly
injured that it became necessary to am
putate three fingers, at the first or up
per joint.

RUTLAND, VT, THURSDAY MORNING, APRIL

allow Strstford an opportunity of con-
ferring with his counsel. Afterward the
Earl spoke and produced witnesses on
his defense and the managers spoke to
evidence. The prisoner was then re-
manded to the Tower. AS the trial
went on it became evident that the num-
Der of Strafford's friends increased.
Though modern research has shown
that he was guilty of the offenses with
which he was charged, that fact was
certainly not made out at the trial. The
Commons abandoned the impeachment
and introduced in their own body bill
of attainder, charging Straford with an
attempt TO subvert the liberties OF the
country. Convicted and sentenced to
death, he met his fate with magnificent
calmness and dignity, and has doubtless
received more lenient judgment from
posterity than II his fate had been less
cruel and his prosecutors more merciful.
When Stratiord was led out to execution
he knelt before the window of cell
which he had to pass, and begged the
blessing of Archbishop Laud, who was
there imprisoned on charges similar to
those for which the Earl himself was to
suffer. Ladd was impeached, and, after
q year and quarter, was brought to
trial. The case was prolonged six
months, and then was terminated just
as Straf'ord's had been. The Commons
despairing OF a conviction before the
Upper House, brought in bill Of attain.
der and the Archbishop was beheaded.
