the new congressman and other Southern
conference with the Republican leaders, de-
cided that it will be best for the Presidential
electors in the reorganized States to be chosen

south Carolina has always chosen hers. This,

Improve the Evenings.

With the return of the heightened and
pleasant and cool evenings, comes the query
to all, how shall we best improve them ?
There are thousand pleasant ways of spend
ing fall or winter evening within the reach
of those who have command Of their own time
and prominent among these is indulgence in
literary pursuits How few, comparatively,
of the young people of the present day, APP
preciate as they should the nestimable privil-
eyes they enjoy2 Surrounded as are the
young of large cities, with all the opportuni-
ties necessary for the cultivation of literary
taste, not one in thousand appears to i'm
prove these golden chances Occasionally,
it is true, we meet with ayoung man or "a
young woman who firmly grasps the idea that
+" knowledge ispower," but these unfortunate
ly, are the exceptions, not the rule,
Thousands of young men, who have COM
Portable homes--whose parents are willing to
supply them with books and papers---instead
of ayailng themselves Of these advantages,
spend their long fall and winter evenings
either in idle loungng around corners, or in
company with frivolous associates, male or
female Thus, winter after winter passes
away, each one bringing thehl nearer 70 lhe
age of manhood, but not fitting them for the
proper discharge Of the duties that full
manhood requires They enter upon the
busy stage Of life with none of those safe
guards which a cultivated intellect throws
around its possessor. They start outlaboring
under a thousand disadvantages and confront
ed by innumerable obstacles, which disappear
like shadows before well informed mind,
The fact that they do not contemplate adopt
ing professional career does not in any de-
gree relieve them from the charge Of being
untrue to themselves, their friends and their
country, while thus fritting away the most
precious hours of their lives in idle indiiier-
ence, and too frequently in the company of
those, association with whom is contamination.
How many ofthem will resolve to turn over
new leaf" and improve the long evenings
of the fall and winter2

Lost and Found.

Some years ago two boys, while playing
upon a cliff near the sea, found young sea-
bird which a dog was worrying. 1t would
have been killed but for them They drove
away the dog and carried the bird, nearly as
large as goose safely home There it was
shut up in a coop, like the hens and chickens,
fed and kindly cared for. 1t soon became
quite tame, and manifested constant affection
ior its little masters, who felt quite proud Of
the result Of their care And thus weeks and
months rolled on. In the fall Of the year the
bird became very tame, the coop was occa-
sionally opened and the prisoner permitted to
90 to the coast, near which the boys lived
But it came regularly home at night receiv-
ing its supper along with the rest Of the bid
dies, and crept to its nest to repose So the
cold winter passed away, and spring came
One night the bird which had been cared for
50 well was missed 1t did not come home
The next day and the next went by, and still
the coop was empty The fact was, the boys
bird had been coaxed away cannot really
say into bad company. But it had joined a
flock on its way north, and flown with the
rest Presently the boys began to compre-
hend the difficulty, and as a matter Of course
they had to have a good cry about it, They
had really learned to love their bird and to
part with it, for them, was severe trial
That is all very natural, for kindness, no mat
ter upon what creature bestowed, ever begets
kindness, and to part with an object that we
love is ever painful
One cold, autumn day, as the boys were at
play in their yard, they saw flock of sea-
birds coming towards them. Nearer and
nearer they came until at last. to their inf
mite SURPRISE the whole flock settled upon the
ground close at hand, and the largest waddled
along toward them, quaekling most curiousy
as she came. 1t was the bird which had
flown away in the spring, now returned with
her young ones to claim hospitality for the
winter You may imagine, if you can, the
delight of the boys, and indeed that of their
parents, ut this instance of affection Words
cannot describe it. You may make up your
mind that the flock was not turned adrift,
though for a long time the young ones were
pretty wild, and did not take as kindly to the
boys as the mother did All, well they did
not know them as well.-CaSket and Play

The cordaity Of the Congregational denmnina-

From the Congrcgatlonalist.
Education aud Literature In Vermont.

A singular concentration of denomination
al schools at and near Montpelier is now tax
ing place. At Montpelier the Methodists
are erecting buildings, on an extensive plan,
for the Vermont Conference Academy, upon
which they propose to bestow all the patron
age that has hitherto been divided between
their schools at Newbury and Springfield.
At Waterbury, not more than dozen miles
to the northwest, the Freewil Baptists have
begun to build, with intent to establish
school that will compare favorably with the
schools of other denominations. At Barre,
six miles south, where for many years there
has been an excellent academy under Con-
gregational auspices, the universalists are
building school aud boarding houses, and
endeayoring, with much prospect of success,
to secure an ample endowment. Thus within
a circle of twenty miles in diameter, with
Montpelier at the centre, there will be four
literary institutions of high order, under
the patronage of " The church."
Since Thompson died, and SAKE removed
to New York, fiction and poetry are hardly
produced at all in Vermont There is no
lack, indeed, of that middling verse which
gods and men despise," but of genuine poetry
the Green Mountains are not prolific. De-
cassionaly Mrs. Dorr contributes poem to
Putnam or Harper; and, just often enough to
keep us continually regrettiDg
" How sweet an Ovid isl in Murray lost"
H. j. Phelps snatches an hour from the alb
sorbing pursuits of law and politics, to indite
few verses, which have the ring and the
polish of genuine poetry. But, with hardly
any other exceptions than these, the literary
activity of Vermont expends itself upon local
history The latest publication Of this kind
is History of Middletown by Hon. Barnes
I'risbie. The Vermont Historical Gazetteer,
after being in state of syncope for five
years, has sprung into new life, and signal.
ICES its resuscitation by issuing five numbers
at once. Histories of Irasburgh by II. P.
Cotton, Brookfeld by the Rev. Il. p. Wild,
and Wells by Ii. d. Paul, have been written
and are awaiting publication. "A History of
the Congregational Churches in Orleans
County by the writer of this letter is in press.
| The centennial sermon OF Rev. Isaac Jen-
nings at bennington Center has been expand
ed into a Civil and Ecclesiastical History
of Bennington prior to 1920" and is soon
| to be published in comely volume. The
! History of Vermont from its discovery till
| its Admission into the Union," by the Hon.
Hiand Hail. is now in Munsell's press and
will soon appear as an octave OF about five
hundred pages. Ii will doubtless be the
most valuable contribution ever made to the
history Of this State. 2. II. w.
