Mrs. SuIIins, SCHOOL.

Permit me, Mr.. Editor, to call attention to
and indorse the boarding school of Mrs. NJ.
w. Sullins, taught at Athens. The Athens
District meeting that recently convened at
this place called attention to it, and Endorsed
it as worthy of patronage. ..'
feel the more willing to recommend the
school, In so far as l. may be able to do SO indi-
vidually, because having been an inmate of
Mrs. Sullins' household for some seven or
eight mouths, have had ample opportunities
to witness the operations of the school, and
feel no special obligations to commend 1t fur.
ther than it is believed to be worthy. 1t is
worthy and deserves success. .ttDt,
The examination at the close of the Summer
session began June 10th, and lasted three days.
The result was a satisfactory exhibition of
what the pupils could do for themselves, not
Of what others could do for them, and gave
evidence OF thorough teaching. The modest
merit Of The fair pupils was gilded with no
gaudy tinsel by others, and evidently ROBBED in
no borrowed plumes. "Loveliness needs not
the foreign aid of ornament, but is when una.
dorned adorned the most" The next session
will begin August 10th. j. X. SPRINGFIELD.

as for man, his days ure as gruSS.'
How dreadfully was this illustration forced
upon us on the evening of the goth! How
short-sighted we mortals are. How weak our
hold on life. Last Monday morning rs we
gazed on fields of ripening grain and saw the
harvesters cut down, bind up, and shock the
golden store, how far was it from our thoughts
that, before the evenings sun had set, one
buoyant in health and bright with young
life's hopes, should have scythe thrust into
his own bosom: yet such was the fate of
JESSE FRANKLIN JONES, aged eighteen years
and nineteen days.
Many deeply sympathisc with the bereaved
family. While the father mourns the sudden
death of his youngest son, we remember that
he has wept over the closing graves of several
of his household band. Often do we think of
one who when just emerging into womanhood,
took upon herself the charge Of an infant de-
priyed by sickness and death of II mothers
care, and who, with more than sisterly deyO-
ton, watched over the little treasure. Years
ago cOnsumption's whitening blight settled on
that fair form. Long has it repCsed beneath
the sod; yet who can say that her pure spirit
has not ever attended the steps of her darling
brother? How often may he have thought of
her. his sister-mother, then making her home
in Gods own holy paradise" and felt her
gentle influence hover about him, thrilling his
spirit with emotions pure and tender, till he
almost listened for the " rustling of hel an
gelc plumes." Well do we know that the
mention Of her name and loving care once had
power to cause tears unsullied us the morning
dew to trickle down his cheeks. Loving each
other in life, separated awhile by death, their
bodies now lie sepuchered in the same place
of intermcnt; and we sincerely hope that,
when the first resurrection dawns, we shall
meet them both rejoicing, having worshiped
the same God, and alike having their - robes
washed and made white in the blood of the
Lamb"
From this late solemn occurrence there
comes warning voice: what l say unto
you | say unto all, Watch" n.

grand and imposing affair Parties from th IS

the rich and gorgeous supper prepared for the
occasion. They know how to get up those sort

Agreeably to the pleasing custom Of the

of those social and festive occasions which,
occurring so rarely, are all the more priced
by members and friends. The ceremonies
of installation were witness by a company
composed in good part of ladies', who lent
their presence and assistance to the enjoy
ments of the evening. At the conclusion
of the ceremonies, an able and eloquent adj
dress was delivered by G. A. Miles, NJ. Il.

which he alluded in feeling terms to the
attentions paid and assistance rendered him
by members of the lodge during the period
of his late severe and protracted illness.
His speech abounded in fine passages and
noble utterances, and was listened to with
marked interest and attention. Adjourn
ment was then made to the lower hall,
where bountiful supper had been pre-
pared by G. A. Boyden of the American
House. Seats were furnished for about
fifty couple, which were speedily taken up.
Refreshments were followed by speeches
and songs, which were of character calcu-
lated to assist digestion and flttingly ter

THE FREE PRESS .s.v'D J'O.u.s.N
SEFER.EGR.

The Burlington Free Press says, after
quoting some remarks of the Freeman:
"If the denial of suffrage to women gem
orally is wrong" the sooner it is righted
the better; but is this not begging the ques-
ton? Is it clear that suffrage is "a person.
al right, inherent in the human nature of
the citizen?" If ii is, why should it not be
granted to minors also? But we are as
much in favor of flair and candid hear
ing for the advocates of the change, which
is probably the next great change in order,
as the Freeman can be; and as soon as it is
clear that those best qualified by education
and good judgment among the women, de-
sire and will exercise the privilege, or right /;
and that the voting, on the part of the better
half of creation, will not be practically left
to those least fitted, and indeed wholly unfit
for it, we think the men of Vermont will
cheerfully welcome the change"
But how are the men of Vermont to know
what women will vote, and whether those
best qualified to exercise the right will do so
or not, till the men, who have control Of
this matter, give them the oppol tunity9
Let the voters of the State remove all OBJ
stacles and give the women the same OPP
portunty of voting as they have themselves,
and then, and not before, shall we know the
results. Is the voting of men confined to
those best qualified by education and good
judgmentP Come out frankly and square
ly, Mr.. Editor, and advocate "the next
great change in order" with your manly
force, and boldly strike for the right. Let
the coming movement have the benefit of
your able pen, and the influence of your
widely circulated paper. We want your
help in this great struggle for justice, equal
ity, and the elevation of humanity.
