the spirit which accompanies temper al-
ways come activity, energy, industry, a
proper personal pride. aud the self.r,spect

a very amiable creature. She may be-
charming company for a short time !; but
she must be deplorably insipid for a long
intimacy. Without temper she must be
slow, dull, timid and irresoute. as piquans

of countries where the air is ever calm
and the sun ever bright is detestable in
its mouotony, however delightful for a
short experience. And just so it is with
a woman. Give US smiles and tears give
US sunshine aud storms; give us the busy;
bustling. driving restliness which, per-
force, uses itself up at one time, and is
succeeded by temporary calm, made all
the more enjoyable by the previous dis
turbance.
In short, give US temper in wife for

We are ir receipt Of the annual cata.
. logue of the New Hampton Institution,
located at Fairfax, under the patronage
Of the Baptist denomination. 1t has
corps Of eight teachers in its several de-
partments. In the Theological depart
ment there were sixteen students. In
me Literary department there were 297
scholars, the aggregate attendance hav-
iog been 495. The aggregate attendance
OF pupils for the last five years has been
in 1862, 233; 1863, 265; 1864, 291; 1865,
403, 1866, 49j. There are two depart
ments the Literary and Theological In
the former 3 course Of study for three
years is embraced, and in the latter for
two years. The Literary department is
designed for both males and females con-
templating a large and generous culture.
The Theological course is designed for
Young men preparing for the Christian
ministry. To become members of this
department. students must bring testi.
monials from their respective churches,
approving Of their studying ministry.
When accepted the tuition is free. A
teachers class is also formed in the
Spring and Fall. There are three Lite
rary Societies connected with the school,
the Literary Adelphi, organized in 1927,
the Social Fraternity organized in 1881
and the Young Ladies Literary and Mis-
sionary Society; organized In 1888. Each
hold weekly meetings. Their libraries
together contain about 400 volumes.
They also have commodious reading
rooms that are open daily, and are vel.
supplied with paper and periodicals.
Another called the Society of Missionary
Inquiry, was organized in 1854 and holds
monthly meetings at which essays on
topics of missionary character are pre-
sented. The library OF the institution
is about 1900, making the whole num-
Der accessible to students nearly 5000.
The institution is located at Fairfax, 20
miles from Burlington, and IL from
Georgia station on the Vermont and
Canada Railroad. The buildings are on
an eminence near the Lamoille River,
commanding fine view of the surround
ing country. We notice among the
Board of Trustees the names Of Rev. @.
A. Thomas, D. D., of Brandon, and Hon.
A'anson Allen Of Fairhaven.

ury which was entirely his own, and
inexhaustibly full. He never essayed
the emotional and never addressed the
passions of men, but he charmed them
with the beautiful, and disguised them
with the degraded and the hateful
thereby enlisting their affection for the
one, and arousing their contempt for the
other, thus making sure their judgment.
As a brilliant advocate he had no peer
among us; and the profession suffered
an irreparable loss when ne was trans
lerred to the service of the government.
His great powers had a natural adapta.
tion to his chosen profession, and his
honor and his fame must rest there, 1t
Is matter of regret, and we think on
his part mistake, that he ever tempo.
rarily left the profession.
Mr.. Colby, in every emotion and every
hore, was intellectual and spiritual. He
had an utter dislike and contempt for
all that was gross, sensual and degraded
His fidelity to the sacred trusts of social
and domestic life was not mere matter
OF policy, but of fixed duty. This made
the ties of domestic life strong. The
severance of such relations wounded
deeply. Time only can assuage.
