Again, pupils must be instructed as
to the costliness Of knowledge-that it
is secured only by ha:d, patient labo-
rious toll that no royal road has yet or
ever will be built to it; that with the
improvements that may have been dis
covered in teaching, none have ever
lessened the necessity for earnest atten-
ton, continued application, real toll.
l have desired in this address to
make prominent one general thought,
that a youth to be we'll educated and
fitted for life, must not only have the
mental, moral and physical natures re-
gardel, but he must be instructed in the
duties Of life, its highest behests,--how
best to meet them, with what spirit uu-
dertak, and discharge them-how best
to find admittauce to the truest and no.
blcst in human life and its achievements
how most successfully to run the race
Of the student and general learner
how to become a generous, maynani-
nous, useful man or woman-how most
surely to act out the truth that life is
real and earnest-how drink n the i.
pirations Of learning, how amass it, and
avoid the terrible Stiffness of pedantry
how grapplc with the hard things in
knowled sc that the mind become both
bold and victorious-how in student

CURIOUS CAVE IN VERMoNT.--The
St. Adams Transcript says that Swanton,
Vermont, has phenomenon of nature
in her :" land cave" situated about one
mile from the Falls, on the pleasant riv-
er road leading from that place to High
gate, which is really we'll worth the troub-
lie of going to see. 1t takes in several
acres Of land, in winding course. The
spectator beholds enticing rivulets of
clear-looking water, running over the
narrow bottom of the cave, over treach-
erous quicksands. Several persons who
went to visit the cave had very mar
row escape from death. caused by get
ting too near the bottom. One look
down into this dismal, enchanted place,
would cure any person Of suicidal turn
of mind.

A SAD INSTANCE OF WRoNG-DoING.
A correspondent of the Boston Jour
nal, writing from Concord, N. H., gives
details Of the sad case of Miss Angus
ia Coburn, young seamstress of that
place, which has caused profound sens
alton through the community.
Some ten years ago, he writes, Miss
Coburn came froma good home in Went
worth to this city. She was then about
twenty years of age, of a pleasing adj
dress, and had received good common
school education. She took up needle
work, and ever since taking up her abode
here, she has been a remarkably indus
trious and faithful seamstress, while her
moral character has always been con-
sidered above even the breath of suspi-
cion. As needle-woman she has been
employed in majority of the best and
wealthiest families of Concord, and UNI
limited confidence was reposed in her in
tegrity. She could only partially fill the
calls upon her for work, they came so
frequently, and by her industry it was
supposed that she was steadily laying
aside portions of her earnings for future
use. Formerly she boarded, but recent
ly she has kept house near the North
End, with an esteemed and elderly lady
Of late many articles have been missed
from houses where she has sewed, and at
last people reluctantly allowed their sus-
picions to fasten upon Miss Coburn. Her
rooms were searched and an immense
amount of plumber was found. 1t con-
sisted of dresses, skirts, shoes, mufs,
handkerchiefs, and in fact, almost every
article of womans' wearing apparel, to-
gether with napkins, bedding, and, in
truth, almost enough was found to make
up general variety store. Upon being
arrested she manifested no concern for
herself whatever, and seemed to have nc
consciousness of the wrong she had been
committing. She plead not guilty, and
for want of bail was committed to Jail
A considerable portion of the stolen
property has already been proved by its
owners and been restored to them. Ar
ticles have been found in Miss Coburn's
possession that the owners recognized
but were not aware that they had been
stolen. There is no doubt in the mind:
oe our people that Miss Coburn is kiep
tomaniac, and she has the sympathy O
warm personal friends and acqnaintan
ces. 1t is long time since so sad a cas-
of the kind has happened in Concord.

SAD.-In Shaw, H., a few days since,
a farme rnamed Stanton went into the
field to pillow, and was followed by his
two little children, boy and girl, who
stopped to play in the high prairie grass.
Not being aware of this fact, Mr.. STAN
ton set FIRE to the grass, and the children
were soon enveloped in the flames, the
noise of the fire drowning their shrieks.
The father went home to dinner, and the
children not returning, search was made,
when the body of the little girl was
found burned to crisp. The boy had
managed to escape to the plowed ground
but was dangerously burned.

Bishop Simpson declares for women
suffrage. though he says, In an ordina-
ry political canvass do not see that any
thing would be gained. The vote would
simply be increased, without any proba-
biiity of change; but on all moral ques-
fions, and on questions affecting the right
OF women to engage in any honorable
calling to gain livelihood, the ballot in
her hands would be powerful element"

The clique have trotted out Gen. L. /.
Washburn and have set themselves to
work to write him up, and make people
think that he is the man for the position.
But so far as l can judge, the people of
Windsor County are favorable to the
nomination of Hon. Julius Converse of
Woodstock, a gentleman favorably known
in Vermont, of unblemished character,
of great talents and above all an honest
man. His experience as a Legislator
has been large, and during the last ses-
sion, no member had more influence in
debate or was more popular among the
members. No one questions his execu-
tive abilities And what gives him the
strongest hold ON the people is that he is
not an ofiice-seeker, nor tho tool of any
clique, faction or monopoly He is
man of the people, and for this reason
the people ask that he accept the nomin-
alton. If the thinking, unseltish, patri-
otto men who have the veal of the State
at heart, will attend the Convention,
Julius Converse will be the nominee

Mrs. DR.. WALKER GETS SOME AID
vIcE.-The dearth of matters of real i'm
portance to communicate, under which
the Washington correspondents suffer
nowadays is strikingly shown in the
amount of space which Mrs. DIR. Mary
f. Walker, the bloomer, and adventur-
ess, is allowed to fill, in their letters and
dispatches. "Perley" tells the last yarn
about her, which is really amusing
To-day she sought admission to the
room of Commissioner Fisher of the Pa
tent Office for an interview, and while
awaiting a response to her card, the ven
cradle Mrs. Gen. Gaines emerged from
the Commissioner room, and after eye
ing Mrs. Walkers peculiar bloomer garb
for a few moments, accosted her with the
question
" Is this Mrs. DIR. Walker ?"
| Mrs. Walker replied affirmatively
Mrs. Gaines" Will you allow me to
give piece of advice y
Mrs. Walker" | will not pay any
thing for your advice, but if it is given
freely | will be happy to receive it."
Mrs Gaines shall make no charge
and if you act upon it, you will be bene-
fitted by it,
Mrs. Walker intimated her readiness
to hear what was to be said.
Mrs. Gaines" Well, my advice is to
go home and pull off those breeches at
once, and not disgrace your whole sex by
wearing them"
Mrs. Walker" If / do so, will you
adopt me as your daughter p
Mrs. Gaines" don't think would !;
l have too many adopted daughters al
ready"
Mrs. Walker" If you would adopt
me as your daughter. and give me every
thing you have in the world, | would not
abandon my principles and ideas or
change my mode of dress"
Mrs. Gaines" You are iniuring your
, self by dressing so. Had puton breech-
es / should never had succeeded in es-
tablishing my rights. never put on
brooches no, not even my husbands,
and with the blessing of God / never
will"
Z. Mrs. Walker" You may not wear
4 this costume and yet dress as unbecom.
ingly in another garb. You wear feath
! ers and flowers in your hair, while there
is nothing of the kind to be seen about
mine"
: The arguments upon the merits of the
t two styles of dress waxed warm, and had
4 attracted a large crowd of clerks and
visitors, when Mrs. Walker was summon
ed to the presence Of the Commissioner
+ and the two ladies departed in opposite
It directions amid the hearty laughter o
}. the crowd
