A visit to spruce Knob.

POULTNEY, June 8, 1871.
Editor OF Herald Il am one of those
who fortunately always have on hand
enough to do, yet have good deal of lei
sure, for the reason that I will have it,
come what may. My leisure time is
sometimes occupied in strolling about the
fields and woodlands, and climbing noun
tains, in which I take special delight. l
am, as / think, imaginative, but, as I ap-
prehend, to no purpose. l have in my
day dreams fancied that | could write
poetry, but the mere attempt has con-
WINGED me that this faculty in my case is
but dream, an illusion. | have read of
Mount Parnassus, read of it IN Mytholo-
gy, but was never there, not even in my
dreams. have been on Spruce Knob
lust came from there, but have my doubts
whether the Muses. have abiding place on
mountain with such an unpoetical name.
Why could not the name have been one
corresponding with Olympus, Ida or
Helicon {? Then the "fair maid" might
aIieht and remain there-then we who
visit the summit might get the inspiration
and commence jingle in rhyme. 1t is
said that the footprints of old Pegasus are
to be found somewhere on Spruce Knob,
but if the winged horse was ever there,
he did not tarry, nor will he return until
this location has different name.
Well, have, as 1 said, just come from
Spruce Knob. This morning procured
team and outfit, which consisted of q
lunch and small telescope, and started
off on the Middletown road about half
past seven O'Clock. Some three miles east
of Poultney village left this road and
took what is called the Morse Hollow
road.
The "Hollow' is neither very long nor
wide in it's dimensions, for soon found
myself going up hill, and it was centin-
ual up hill until l reached the base of the
mountain. I left my team when got to
the end of the road, securely tied to a
maple tree, and made the remaining dis.
lance to the top of the mountain on foot,
SOLITARY and alone"
I shall not be very lengthy in my des.
cription of the scenery, spread out to
view, as one stands on the summit of this
mountain. 1t had seldom been visited,
and I believe never till quite recently nm
less by persons hunting foxes or rabbits,
or boys in pursuit of spruce gum; yet I
believe il is the best point in Western

An Incident of Travel.

As l was travelling up the Fraser River
in British Columbia, feeling tired I went
to the stewards room to obtain a state
room. He was intensely interested in
game of "poker ;" handing me key he
exclaimed, "Here you are, sir, go to hell"
l caught the idea in a moment, he was an
Euglishman, SO 1 started for L. On ar.
irving there, the door was unlocked, and
on the bunk lay Bible and Biblical die
tionary. "What thinks I, and this in
hell. started for the steward and in.
formed him hell was occupied. "By
Jove," says he, $50 it is. I sent the Rev.
Mr.. W there. You 60 next door"
1 have thought many times of telling
this story, but have never done 20 before,
only to the Rev. Mr.. W, who laughed
heartily, and hoped 1 should be a next
door neighbor in the realm above,

Power of Short Words.
BY ADDISON ALEXANDER, NJ. D.


THINK not that strength lies in the big rouho
word,
Or that the brief and plain must needs De
weak.
To whom can this be true who once mas hearo
The cry for help, the tongue that all men
speak,
When want or woe or fear is in the throat,
90 that each word gasped out is like shrek
pras,ad from the sore heart, or strange Wild
note,
s,,ro nv some fay or fend There is a
strength
which dies if stretched too far or spun too line,
Which has more height than breadth, more
depth than length,
Let but this force of thought and speech be
mine,
And he that will may take the sleek, fat
phrase,
Which CLOVIS and burns not, though CLEAN and
shine
Light but not heat-a fash but not blaze!
Nor Is it mere strength that the short wore
boasts,
1t serves of more than fight or storm to TELL
The roar of waves that clash on rock-oosn'
coasts,
The crash of tall trees when the wild Wind
swell,
The roar OF guns, the groans of men that die
On blood-stained fields. 1t has voice ~
well
For them that far off on their sick beds lie,
For them that weep, for them that mourn th'
dead;
For them that laugh and dance and clap tn
hand
To joys quick step, as well as griet'a 10y
tread.
The sweet, plain words we learned at first keel
tune,
And though the theme be sad, or gay,
grand,
With each, with all, these may be made t
chime,
In thought, or speech, or song, in prose
rhyne,

ABANDON Graded school.

A very interesting and profitable exer-
else came off at the Brandon Graded
School, on the afternoon of Wednesday,
the 7th inst.
DR.. E. D. Gibbs & Co., the enterprising
booksellers, &c., generously gave a copy
of the latest edition of "Webster's Una
bridged," to be competed for by as many
of the pupils as choose to do SO. Forty
seven entered their names from the high,
grammar, first and second intermediate
departments.
After contest of upwards Of three
hours, which became more and more ex-
citing. as one after another of the unsuc.
cessful competitors took their seats, the
prize was carried off by Eddie Selden.
While the prize was fairly won by
Young selden, it is only justice to say
that all the pupils did well, and most OF
them evinced remarkable proficiency in
this important, but too much neglected
branch of an English education.
The text book used was "The Analyti
cal speller." Many of the words were
technical and difficult. and the manner
in which the young people generally &C.
Quilted themselves proved conclusively
that thorough attention is given to "or'
biography" by the efficient principal and
teachers of the Brandon Graded School
The prize was presented to the success
full competitor by Judge E. Jnne, with
few appropriate remarks. A. H.
P.S.-Since writing the above we un'
derstand that such was the interest felt IL

their little cottage home, Just over the
creek-near the end of that rustic bridge.
All this little home for himself he has
built, beside this one for us.
The earnings of the little farm have
been expended here rather than in some
saloon in the village, but few miles
away. The fifty dollars first paid for
these few acres have rapidly multiplied.
Added to the earnings of the acres here
about, have been about the same sum our
brother workman has each week squan-
dered. .-...-.-.- ...... -
Here, tonight, down by the clover
blossoms, we sit to look back these ten
years and to compare notes. We are none
the poorer for economy. None the worse
off. Quite the reverse. They tell us that
fifteen thousand dollars we can have for
this place, in cash, if we wish to sell it.
Mono This is to keep. 1t has cost us
nothing, 30 to speak. And who would
turn that honest steward-that faithful
gardener out from home as much his as
this is ours? That little acre of his, all
for himself, he was to have as his reward,
beside his wages. He too has earned q
home-let him have it. But our old
friend. He has no home, no place to rest
down by the clover blossoms. He works
here little, there a little. His face is
not the fresh face of years ago, but deep
craven with lines telling of drink and
dissipation-with lips, eyes, nose, and
breath poisoned by the stimulant he has
taken. He has all that to show for hi:
ten years-we have all this and more tt
show for our savings. His form is bent
his gait unsteady-his nerves unstrung
His beautiful wife of seven years age
now seeks her own livelihood in tailor
ing establishment-hls two children dleo
from want and sickness, resulting from
exposure. ,su TT
Before long he will totter and fall. He
is sinking slowly each day. Then, wher
he can no more work--no more care fol-
himself; when he is dead, worn out by
dissipation and careless living if we know
where to find him, he shall sleep in tha
little vale, little way up the stream, jus
where it bends so gracefully, as if to lister
to its own song, under the sod whereof
bloom the clover blossoms this quiet, pleas

speeches cannot be explained away by
ridiculing their author, as the democratic
press is doing. AS soliloquies they would
be harmless, but the reception accorded to
them by the Southern people gives them
special significance. Mr.. Horace Greeley,
Just from the South, and fresh from an in
