who have almost taken Us by storm, that
we had nearly forgotten our outside
friends and perhaps given them reason to
think we had sunk back into our former

whatsoever will may come, and find in 1T a
type and an index pointing to Him, who
for the asking will give Living Water.
Both our generosity and our parsimony
have been put to pretty severe tests, and
when neither would expand another

the tide flowing back upon them; and we

BIZ FRANCIS GEaRY rAnyrELD.

Dazzlingly the western pane
shimmers with sheets Of ruby-red rain;
Ana droppeth the run right sunnily
Just over the hill tops into the sea-
shaking, 30 full and bold,
Like world II shining gold;
Sinking like an embodied day,
Seeming not half mile away.
Just over the hill-tops in the valleys doth roll
A ruby-red river of girasole-
1t sinketh, it svelleth, in golden motion,
LAre river Of gold to golden ocean;
And through the trees there peepeth the moon,
Yellow and full as the sun At noon
Glowingly golden maketh it rise,
Like an Eastern Paradise.
Star after star with noiseless motion,
Like fairy boat ON a fairy ocean
Like fairy boat with fairy light,
Set on its bow like a ships at night,
Stea'eth up the Zodiac,
With never a ripple in its track,
Into the hazy passionate skies,
Into the blue that never dies.
Between the hills the river creeps
Silently past, where the mill-wheel sleeps;
Under the old time-shatLered bridge,
Over the water-weari-d ledge,
Through many a dell and many ISss,
Like music winding through the grass,
And stirring the grasses all night long
With the tinkling laughter Of its song.
Away in the woods the weird wind sings,
stirring the haze with its gossamer wings
stirring the trees and stirring the leaves
With the melody which 1T weirdly waves;
And under the willow away in the glen,
Where he hides from the pittiless ken OF men,
Crieth the lonesome Whip-poor-
Canst tell me, ., NIght-wind, who doth him il
Dolly, dro xsily, stealeth the Dark
Through the air in shadowy bark;
In shadowy boat, with shadowy oar,
Over the ocean and over the shore;
Aud fancy hear the mufiied dip
OF the oars that stir the shadowy ship,
So like a fairy land stealeth it down,
into the valley, and into the town
Thus like a fairy land
Stealeth night down,
Into the valley, and
Into the towo.

yesterday, the subject of woman suntsee
was mn in the Council Of Censors, MI.
Dewey of Rutland County introduced
motion to inquire into the propriety OF 80
amending the constitution as to give wo-
man the right to bear arms and DO MILL
tary duty. OF course the proposition was
Joke, at least such is the general I'M
preston concerning it, and there would
be no room for doubt about it were it not
that when the subject of woman suffrage
was first introduced in the Council-and
which has now been dignified by grave
and elaborate report in its favor-it was
generally received in the same manner.
OF the committee and their action on
the suffrage question there is this to be
said. 1t cannot be denied that the result
which they have SO readily reached has
taken the people by surpaise, and men ask
as they meet, are they sincere, or are they,
like Mr.. Dewey, joking? The committee
are all straightforward, practical men.
They are not NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. re-
formers, in the common acceptation OF the
term. Neither of them would wish to see
his wife in Bloomer dress, and as hus-
bands we doubt if they have any fondness
! for their wives above that of other men.
They are all substantial and prominent
men in the State, and have all seen some
thing of public life. All are by profession
/ lawyers and actively engaged in politics
one Democrat and the other two Re
publicans. From this description of the
members Of the committee it will be judg.
ed that in their report they have not
Yielded to merry making. The least that
can be inferred is, that while a part OF
them are in favor of woman suffrage the
others may have acquiesced in the report
as good method to bring the subject be-
fore the people. What disposition the
Council will make of the subject remains
to be decided. Members known to bt
averse to it promise to give its advocates
a lively time in the debate.
The journal in remarking upon the
above and the report of the committee
says:
I The committee want the Green Noun
tain State to be the first of all lands IL
according to woman her only sate2 uarc
the right of Suffrage" If the amend
rnent should pass the Council and be sub
rnitted to the people, its discussion vii
make more stir in Vermont politics thai
has taken place for long time.

AT ST. CLOUD.
The appearance of the exploring party
in Minnesota has awakened great enthu-
siasm among the people. The Northern
Pacific Railroad is to pass through this
State. The people believe, and with
reason, as we shall show in subsequent
letters, that it is to be the Great Highway
of the Nation. We have been welcomed
by bands of music, the thunder OF cannon
by cheers, hurrahs and dinners at Min
neapol,s and st. Cloud. Space is wanting
To sneak of the ovations in detail, but
everywhere the heartiest enthusiasm is
exhibited.
At st. Cloud the party was entertained
bv the city government The falls at
Sank Rapids were visited, and then came
a dinner at the hotel, followed by speech
es and toasts. 1t was pleasure to take
once more by the hand my friend, and
every body's friend, Ossian Il. Dodge, re
sident now of st. Paul, no longer concert
ing, but Secretary of the Chamber OF
Commerce in that city. On this occasion
he convulsed the company by an origina
song, in which the names OF the visitors
and speakers were freely and humorously
dealt with.
