Maud and Madge.
By JULIA c. b. DoRR.

Maud in q crimson velvet chair
Strings her pearls on Q silken thread,
While lovingly lifting her golden hair
Soft airs wander about her head
She has silken robes Of the softest flow,
She has jewels rare and chain Of gold,
And her two white hands fit to and fro,
Fair as the dainty toys they hold.
She has tropical birds and rare perfumes;
Pictures that speak to the heart and eye;
For her each flower Of the Orient blooms
For her the song and the Lutte swell high;
But daintily stringing her cleaning pearls
She dreams to- day In her velvet chair,
While the sunlight sleeps in her golden curls
Lightly stirred by the oderous air.
Down on the beach when the tide goes out
Madge is gathering shining shells;
The sea breeze blows her locks about,
Ger bare brown feet the white sand swells.
Coarsest serge is her gown OF gray,
Faded and torn her apron blue,
And there In the beautiful, dying day.
The girl still thinks Of the work to do.
Stains of labor are on her hands,
Lost is the young forms airy grace
And standing there on the shining sands
You read her fate in her weary face.
Up with the dawn to toll all day
For meagre fare and a place to sleep,
Seldom moment to dream or play,
Little leisure TO laugh or weep.
Beautiful Maud, you think, maybe,
Lying back in your velvet chair,
There is naught in common 'twixt her and thee
You scarce could breathe in the self-same air
But all the blood in her girlish heart
Leaps quick as yours at her natures call,
And ye, though moving so far apart,
Must share one destiny after all
Love shall come to you both one day,
For still must be what aye hath been:
And under satin russell gray
Hearts will open to let him in.
Motherhood with its joy and woe
Each must compass through burning pain,
You. fair Maud, with your brow OF snow,
Madge with her brown hands labor-stained.
Each shall sorrow and each shall weep,
Though one is i'll novel, one in hall;
Over your gold the frost shall creep,
As her jet the SHOWS will fall.
Exquisite Maud, you lift your eyes
AT Madge out yonder under the sun;
And yet trow, by the countless ties
OF u common womanhood ye are one!

THE LAST WAY TO BRING ABOUT
MATRIM ONY.-A short time since at q
wedding in South Carolina, a young law
yerimov ed that one man in the company
should 'oe selected as president, that this
president should be duly sworn to keep
entirely secret all the communications
that sh ould be forwarded to him in his
official. department that night, that each
unma rried lady or gentlemen should write
his or her name on q piece of paper, and
under it place the name of the person
they wished to marry, then hand it to the
pre- sident for inspection, and i any gen.
tie men and lady had reciprocally chosen
each other the president was to inform
each Of the result, and those who had not
been reciprocal in their choice were to be
kept entirely secret. After the appoint.
ment of the president, communication

and it was found that twelve young ladies
and gentlemen had reciprocal choices,
and eleven of the twelve matches were
eolemuizod.

AN ELEGANT RESIDENCE. r.
Graves and family occupied their new and
palatial residence last week. There are
few houses in Vermont which equal it.
Parties from Worcester, Mass. who were
here to place the fsrni ture, hang the cur-
tains put down the carpets, &c, declared
il to be the incest residence they had ever
seen. The design was drawn by Cum
mings. III Troy, and is fit monument of
his skill as an architect. The plan was
carried out under the direction, in the
main, of Mr.. II. ID. Woodwork, of this
place, and can but add to the high repute
he already sustains. From the cellar TO
the flag staff on the capalo, it is one com
plete array of taste, splendor and attract
iveness. No expense has been spared in
its construction, from tie day ground was
first broken to the last flourish of the paint
brush. None but the best material has
been used, and nothing has been sighted.
| The furniture is of the most elegant and
modern pattern, and is massive in its
richness. The location is beautiful and
commanding one, the view from the
! cupalo being particularly fine, taking in
the whole village, and its many beautiful
surroundings of mountain, hill and vale.
When the grounds around the residence
are entirely completed, it will rank among
one of the most beautiful places in the
country, and will add greatly to the looks
Of our village. It's owner, Mr. L. r.
Graves, has long ranked as one of Ben
nington's "solid men," having amassed a
fortune, from beginning at the bottom
round of the ladder, without dollar in
the world, by his great native tact and
business industry; and it is but meet that
as his declining years come on, he should
enjoy the fruits OF mis- toll in the old town
where he has plucked them from the tree
of Fortune.-Bennington Banner.

General is on horseback and he and his
horse are in full tilt on that great ride
which made the general 30 famous, and
which Mr.. Read has commemorated in a
poem as well known as the great ride.
The Generals face is as eager and full of
flre as the superb horse il Of mettle and
speed. The eye Of the horse is bloodshot.

CHEsTER.-Mr. John D. Home, recent
ly of Saratoga, n. T., has fitted up rooms
in the basement of Miller & Hadley's tin
shop, for use as meat market. We trust
our citizens will sustain Mr.. Home in his
new sphere, by liberal patronage, which
prices which have prevailed it town for
the last few years. Competition is the
life of business, and success, say we, to
the new proprietor.

/ A gentleman sojourning in our town,
/ who has visited all the large towns in
Vermont, informs US that he has seen no
/ place in the State which gives so much
and prosperity as Chester. He is entir g ~
satisfied that we have the best pro m Use
of extensive business and large to wn
composed of enterprising and intslli gent
citizens than any other place within his
knowledge, in the State. He says it il
| impossible for any one, who win acq uaini
himself with the facts, not to come to the
same conclusion. In his opinion, oar own
most sanguine expectations fall ia short
of the measures of business pro sperity
and substantial progress, of which we
shall be the recipients next season
When strangers, who look over the ground
critically, entertain such views of us, are
we not justified in the picture of prosper
ity which we draw ourselves? Citizens
of Chester do not falter in your efforts
to make your town second to none in the
State for business, intelligence, refne1
ment and generous hospitality; and you
shall see your labors crowned with abund-
ant success, and manifold treasures, bless
ing your endeavors by their presence.
The pleasant weather and fine walk
