JEFF. Davis /" at the other end of the line,
were hanging to lamp posts unofehding
black men, and sacking and burning colored
orphan asylums in their infuriate hate ot
republican institutions and equal rights for
all, Vermont regiments interposed their bay

security to property and life imperiled by
the tolerant, progressive, unfanatlcaI, and
unpuritanicsl rioters of that city
Vermont may have aided-I trust and be-
lieve she has-in impressing this Puritan
spirit, this spirit that votes and fights, if oc-
casion REQUIRES, for liberty in our own coun-
try, and strives to establish here patton
loving liberty and building equal right into
every part of the fabric of our Government,
upon the institutions of this Republic and
regret that while engaged in this work she
has encountered at every step, in battle, in
council, and in legislative hall, The unrelent-
ing, ever-watchful opposition of some at
least of the constituents of the gentleman
from New York. And she does not propose
to stop in this work while it is in any res
pect left incomplete nor does she consent
to be diverted from it into any crusade in
behalf of downtrodden Ireland nor into any
war for territorial annexation or aggrand-
izement by whomsoever suggestedkySif this is
intolerance, then Vermont IS ineyTcrant; il
this rs to oppose the spirit of true progress,
then Vermont is unprOgressive; If this is
then Vermont is fanatical if
this is puritanical, then is Vermont Puritan.
And God grant she may ever remain so

The Rest Woman in tbe World.

I think old women-I don't like the
word " lady" because it don't mean any
thing now-a-days-ar the most beautiful
and lovely beings in the world They are
so near Heaven that they catch the glow
and brightness which radiate from the
pearly gates and illuminate their faces.
When the hair begins to silver, and the
embers in the fire grow gray and cold, and
the sun has got so far around In lite's horI-
zon that the present makes no shadow,
while the past stretches down the hillside
to a little mound of earth, where we viii
rest for the season-a little mound not big
enough to hold our corner lots, and marble
fronts and safes, which we shall have to
leave on the other side of the hill, but big
enough, l trust, to hold our memories and
fancies, our air castles and secrets and
when the journey is nearly done, and the
night is setting in, and the darkness begins
to gather around US without any stars, and
the birds sing low in the trees, and the
flowers whittier and die, and the music we
hear comes from afar, strangely sweet. like
sounds coming over the water, and like
/ little children we live In ourselves, and
the world gradually recedes from us-then
l should ike to be an old woman, full of
blessed memories and peaceful anticipa-
ton
l think l know the best woman in the
world, and think every other man knows
/ her [ think the one l know has the
kindest heart, and the dearest face, and
the most .eareSsine hand. and the most IN
dying devotion among all women. Her
4 eyes were once to me the boundaries of
the world, and were the first things l ever
/ looked into. And | think the best woman
every other man knows has all these quail
/ ties in the same degree. And l think there
/ Is not one of US who has strayed so far
/ from that woman-the best of all women
NOT one of US so calloused with the strife
and toll of life, not one of US in the midst
of difficulty and danger, who does not feel
the invisible arms around him to shield
him, and VINO does not long to 90 back TO
/ the arms and the love Of that woman. and
! to rest, as we rested before our feet cot
into the flinty walks of life
