Orders had been given for Gem

At this point we were obliged to leave

which we regretted very much, as his ac'

| THE EDITORIAL FIX.-To run our To-

with the request of everybody, insert all

Everything poured into the ear of s'locar'

columns OF gossip-and if he does not
dress it all up in the best shape, somebody
is mad, the editor is a fool, the paper

A DIRGE.


QUARTETTE AND cHoRUs-''O ageep for the BRACE
THE following dirge is taken from "CoLUMBIA, y
cantata for mixed voices. The words are by
Adrian T. Gorham, which were at the time lin
1862 set to music by our towpsman, Prof. George
A. Mietzkel
o weep for the brave
That are gone to the grave,
With the love OF the country that bore Them
They have fought the good fight
For Union and right,
And the glory-wreathed flag that waved DER
them
Sleep well, honored dead!
We have battled and bled,
And victory has crowned your endeavor;
Ems hrined ye shall be
In a worlds memory,
And Columbia shall bless you forever.
o rest, honored dead.

The Remembrance of the Martyr
Dead to-day.

To-day nation pays its filial tribute to
the patriotic dead. The bending of a
whole nation over the graves of its dead
heroes, is the most strangely beautiful
sight the world has ever witnessed. Other
nations have honored the successful leaders,
but ours remember the common soldier
as well. Agreeably to an order issued
from the headquarters of the Grand Army
of the Republic, the graves of our fallen
heroes all over the length and breadth of
the land will be decorated with floral tri-
butes-the offerings of grateful people.
While the graves of the dead soldiers of
the Green Mountains are being strewn
with flowers, it is pleasant thought that
kind hands are performing the same SER
vice of love in all sections of the country,
and to feel that once more that the heroic
sacrifice of those who gave their lives in
defence of the Union, will again be
brought in its fullest magnitude to the
hearts of all the people, and universal
spirit of patriotism fostered and made
strong by the lessons of the past.
No grave in all the land il too lowly
for tender eyes to search it out, and gem
tie hands to deck it with an offering of
flowers. Even upon the mound that
marks the resting place of one unknown
by name, and known only as a soldier of
the Union, sweet flowers are scattered
Yes, let us bring flowers, bright flowers,
and strew upon the graves of the depart
ed heroes-they are full of eulogy and
song, Of faith and hope.
This floral commemoration of our he
roes Will become national and perennial.
ihe offerings of Springs fairest flowers is
an exquisite tribute in itself and deserves
perpetuation. As people, we need the
lessons it conveys. The truths for which
our soldiers fought are the heritage they

the people there would be great increase
in the business and growth of that place.
A correspondent of the Middlebury
Register says:
Rev. Edward Mills, of Rutland, deliv.
cred an able lecture before the Good
Templars of this town. Many of those
who attended pronounced it the best to
which they ever listened. Itdid the cause
of temperance good, and every Templar's
Lodge would be doing good work if they
would secure one lecture at least from the
same advocate.

PLAIN WORDS TO CoNGREssMEN.-
The Alta Californian of April "a, in an
article on the income tax, uses pretty
plain language "Of course in the gene
raj denunciation of this tax, the feeble
treble of California will not attract much
attention. If the grumbling of New
York, the stormful indignation of Penn
sylvania, the remonstranees of New Eng
land, the muttered curses of the West,
and the groaning of the South have SO
far had no effect, we can scarcely hope
that our growls will fall on other than
leaden ears. California can do but little
in awakening Congress TO a sense of its
duty but we have five representatives
there-three in the House and two in the
Senate and if they do not labor with
whatever strength they are invested to
rid us of this grievance we will make
short work of them politically when they
return. There is at least fraction of
Congress that can be made to feel our
power, and such is the temper of the
masses in regard TO this thing, and there
is no doubt it will be exercised with q
rigor that will not be forgotten"

GRAFToN.-On the Sabbath Rev. Mr.
Clark of Peru, occupied the Congrega-
tionalist pulpit, while that at the Baptist
house of worship was filed by the pastor
Frank Woolley Of this village, has
opened meat market, and is running q
meat cart for the benefit of the general
public. Tins far his meats have been
excellent and his prices fair. If he will
only run through the entire season, he
will not only do good thing, but get to
himself a good name.
The other evening two little school
girls went up one of our numerous brooks
for trout, and one of them brought home
to her glad mother one weighing ounces.
The success of the young Miss, greatly
chagrinned the piscatorial men, who were
Boosting over their smaller "hauls."
In the same line is another item. One
day last week, f. Phelps OF the hotel,
went out and brought in about dozen
pounds of these brook trout. No sooner
done, however, than up came the bone
and sinew OF the legal fraternity of Bel
lows Falls, and ate their fill thereof.
When they had eaten such delicacies be-
fore we know not, but surely was long
time since, if facts have any logic.
Mr.. Sabin, Committee of the village
schools, has just secured set of Guyot's
splendid wall maps, and one of Perce's
magnetic globes, IL inch, full brass meri-
dian, for the use of the teachers and pu-
pills. 1t is we trust, the beginning of
many improvements.
The grass crop especially promises
well, and the fruit trees are rich in prom
Use. Altogether our farmers have no rea-
son to feel discouraged, if the sugar crop
was SO nearly failure.

OPENING HYMN. TuNE-Pleyel's Hymn.
Love unchanging for the dead,
Lying here in gloried sleep,
Where the angels softly tread,
While their holy watch they keep.
Wreathes we bring that meier shall fade,
Greener with the passing years,
Brighter for our sorrows shade,
Jeweled with our falling tears.
Dying that the Truth might live.
Here they rest in Freedoms name,
Giving all that man can give
Life for Glory's deathless fame.
Bend in love, o azure sky!
Shine, o Stars at evening time
Watch where heroes calmly lie,
Clothed with faith and hope sublime,
God of nations, bless the land
Thou hast saved to make us free
Guide us with thy mighty hand
Till all lands shall come to THEE.
