This was too much.

Strengthened myself up in dignifed
way, and proceeded to remark
MADAM! Wilsonburg may have beer
a respectable man, for all / know. If he
had lived and become parent, he would
have had perfect right to name his own
infant"
This wasn't very strong language, but
It was strong enough to bring tears from
the eyes of Mrs. Marks and cause her to
say
"You are cruell7 Wilsonburg never
talked to me SO.
Wilsonburg be-be be hanged! He
never was parent.
And then there was scene-the first
of our married life-which had it's con-
tinuance at regular intervals, until Mrs.
Marks, though irritability and exhaus-
ton, faded like flower, and withered
like leaf. Her last words were, "Bury
me by the side of Wilsonburg."
The request was granted.
This occurred two years ago. There
is to be another wedding shortly, after
which the hopeful youth who calls me
daddy, will have an opportunity to divide
his affections.
She who is to be the bride this time,
perhaps it is well to remark, hasn't had
any experience in the husband business.
l may be permitted to add that have
no prejudices whatever against young
widows-I like them but wouldn'. ad-
wise any one to marry one unless she fur
nishes good evidence that she does not
carry with her the ghost of her deceased
companion.
Then again land it is only fair to say
it) fastidious men, if they marry widows
should do so with the full understanding
that there is difference between widows
and maids, and make up their minds to
be always charitable when necessity re-
quires.
The best course to pursue in order to
have harmony, is this: Let widowers
marry widows; then, if the latter shall
refer to the virtues of the departed, the
former may dwell upon the same theme,
and between both, the dead will receive
praise they never dreamed of before they
"shook off this mortal coil"

DRUMMER's BAGGAaE.--It was only
last week, we are reliably informed, that
a passenger at Burlington desired to go
to Vergenness, who had two trunks with
him which he offered to pay for as bag
gage, but the employees of the road in
formed him they had instructions to stop
all baggage supposed to belong to agents
of city houses, having sample goods. This
agent went back to the Hotel, started for
Boston next day on the Vermont Central,
ever which he had no difficulty in getting
his baggage checked EGtract from an
article IN the Courier, April 18th, headed
"1aeao rules"
We are RELIABLY informed that the
rules in force on the Rutland Road are
not "new rules" but have been promul-
gated for some time, and that the rules
and regulations on the Rutland Road are
substantially the same in regard to sample
trunks as those adopted by the Vermont
Central road, and if there is any differ
ence in this matter between the two
roads, it is that the rules are enforced on
one road, while they are not on the other.

sumed the management of the hotel at
Factory Point.

two Irishmen, travelling the country in
search of farm-work, CHANGED to put up at
a wayside inn, one of those low, quaint
old taverns, with its pump and water
trough, before the door of which the
stage-coach stopped, but the fare of which
though homely was always good, and un-
der which hospitable roof our wearied
footsteps have often rested in unalloyed
pleasure. They were seated at the table,
when one of them, observing saucer of
grated horse radish upon the board, ig-
nerant of it's contents, straightway helped
himself to a good-sized spoonful The ef-

DEMOREsT MONTHLY. - Demorest's
Monthly surpasses itself in each successive
number. 1t is in the strictest sense a
model magazine. The utility and beauty
of its make up,which includes its Illustra.-
ed Poetry, original Music, Household
matters, and other interesting features,
render it household necessity. The May
number is real gem. The Raven, by
Edgar A. Poe, is beautifully illustrated,
and the Fashions are eptionable.
No family can afford to do without De-
morest's Monthly, especially when good
$40 engraving is given to each sub; criber.

PRESERVATION OF THE SIGHT.-The
following are the general rules for pre-
serving the sight unimpaired for the
longest possible period: All sudden
changes from darkness to light, and the
contrary should be avoided as much as
possible. Avoid looking attentively ats
minute objects, either at dawn or twi-
light, and in dark places. Avoid sitting
near dazzling or intense light, as of a
lamp or candle, and facing a hot fire.
Avoid reading or sewing much by an i'm
perfect light, as well as by artificial lights
of any kind. Avoid all dazzling and glar-
ing sunshine, especially when it is reflect
ed from snow, white sand, or other light
colored bodies. Avoid rubbing or fret
ting the eyes in any manner, and wiping
them with cotton handkerchiefs. Avoid
all spirituous and heating liquors, rich
and highly seasoned food, and every spe-
cies of intemperance, all of which inva-
riably injure the eyes and impair the
sight.

The Next Governor.

Ii will soon become necessary for q con
vention OF the Republicans of Vermont
to select their candidate for the next Gov
ernor Of the State; aud we desire at this
time 20 suggest the Hon. A. L. Miner OF
this place, az proper person to receive
the nomination of that convention.
We shall do little more than suggest
his name for Mr.. Miner is TOO well
known to the people of this State to stand
in need uf any recital of his services and
merits His connection with the public
.4tairs Of Vermont has extended over a
fneriGi of nearly forty years and he has
lbecn trund able and efficient in the dis
,Gharge of public duties, ard faithful to
the interests of those whom he represent
ed. He has served us in both branches of
our General Assem- bly,, and IA represent
alive in Congress. His frequent service in
the Legislature has made him intimately
acquainted with the public interests of
the State. The citizens of this town have,
at various times within the past thirty
years, chosen him their member OF the
House of Representatives; and perhaps
he is best known to the people of Yer
mOut as Il leading member of that body.
OF his record and influence in that posi-,
ition we need say nothing. Others know
uuite as we'll as we how much the people
of the State, and their representatives.,
have been accustomed to rely upon his
sound Judgment and perfect integrity.
We have no hesitation in suggesting
Mr. Miner as candidate for Governor
for we know that many of his friends
throughout the State would be pleased to
have him enter upon the honors and du-
ties of that office as a fitting close to a
long life of faithful public service.

PLEBIsCITUM.-The word ple6iscjtan1,
which we see used so much in connection
with French affairs at the present time, is
French-Latin for what we call in this
country special election. The recent
submission of the Judiciary Amendment
to the people of New York was a plebiscite.
1t is believed in Paris that the question
upon which France is now to pass will be
put something in this way: DO the peo-
pie desire reforms which assure liberty
under guaranty of the Imperial dynasty y
OF course the people will say they do,
5ust as they said seventeen years ago that
they preferred an emperor to a president.
They are very complaisant nation, the
French.

BENNINGToN.-The following is par
tial list of the men, with their names,
ages aud diseases, that have died in and
about the village of Bennington since the
25th day of July last. The list might be
greatly enlarged by adding deaths in
other parts of the town; also by adding
the names of females and foreigners that
have died in that village during the time

ton. Here is an aggregate of 81 persons,
whose combined ages amount to 1880, or
a trife over 63 years for each. Leaving
out the two youngest, it gives an aggre-
gate of 1875 years, or an average of 67
years for each of the 10 remaining names.
All of these persons, except three, leave
widows, and one of the widows Mrs.
Gage. is 81 years of age. The list shows
not only quite an unusual number of
deaths during the time, but is very re-
markable in the age of those who have
died. AS they were either natives of the
town, or longtime residents, it argues
well for the safety of the town as place
to live in

SERIOUS ERESHETS.-lne 1all or rain
Tuesday night was two inches and fifth
and has so largely melted the snow that
the streams are very high. There is a
wash-out at Hillsborough, N. H, and
matar is deep upon the track SO that no
Drain has come from that place At Mel
WINS Mills, o.. the Bradford road, water is
four feet over the track, and no trains
haye come through. Two vash-outs took
place on the Montreal road nest North
field, and the forenoon train was three
hours late. The Northern Railroad has
to carry by at West Andover, a part of the
bridge over the Rlaclzwater river being
gone. Mr.. A. M. Shaw, building agent
for the Northern road, had to come in
boat large part of the way between
Bradford and Contocookville. The river
at Concord was rising rapidly, and the in
tervales are overhowed. The river is ia
verable for drives A drive of three mil
lion feet is reported at Holderness, and
one of over six million feet twenty miles
behind it. The Nashua Mills are badly
troubled by water and will be obliged to
stop work by Wednesday morning The
Wilton Railroad is endangered The
Ashuelot river is as high as it was last
October, and the people of Keene, in some
parts of the town, are at work to render
property safe. Other streams over the
State are probably in as swollen condi-
tiop as those cited.

FIRE IN WHITEHALL-Tuesd even
ing about eight o'clock fire was dis
covered issuing from the old Phenix

ipgs and barns. The flames spread to a
house adjoining, belonging to Robert
Irwin, which was partially destroyed. A
terrible confagration was threatened at
one time, The night being calm the efforts
of the steamer belonging to the lumber
companies confined the flames to the two
buildings. Loss by fro and surrounding
buildings demolished, about $4,000.
