But they do live, and the editors are all
jolly in one building. Green grows the
we'll established and staid Standard of
republican truths, on the first floor, while
McMaster and Perkins, like the lion and
the lamb, lie down together above him.
The Spirit Of the Age, improved by
time, and grown wiser by the ordeal
through which its party has been called
by the American people to pass, and I'M
der the care ofits present proprietor, is de-
serving the patronage of the democracy,
and even republicans will do we'll to read
it, for none are too good not to be bene-
fitted by judioious criticism, and no hon
est party or man can suffer by having his
errors pointed out to him. The newspa-
per, The Otta-Quechee Post, edited by
r. L. Perkins, Esq, sends forth fair
prospectus and puts its terms low, evil
IDENTIFY hoping to win its way into public
favor Its specimen numbers, though
printed on the same press as the Age, are
not spoiled by any communicating infu-
ences, evidently catching the spirit of
some of Mr.. McMaster's witty sayings,
its editorials are improved thereby, and
every man in Windsor county, who does
not now take even republican paper, or
possibly if he has one already, can well
afford to forego the sweets of his cigar,
pipe, or plug TO the value of 81, sub
scribe for the Post and place it in his
family.

neatly fitted glove upon one hand the
clerk was about to administer the oath
, the members of the bar, as is the custom
all rising; it was observed the applican
Cor admission raised his left hand. Judge
Barrett said, "raise your right hand, sir.
the reply was, Il have none," and thu
truth at once flashed upon the minds o
all present, that the student had giveI
his right arm of flesh and blood TO hi
country, which had replaced it with al
artificial one, and now his left hand alon
; could he lift in solemn recognition of hi
continued purpose to support the consti

was so affected at the incident as TO al
pologize to the soldier student on the &C
} iournment of the court.
And how many thus manned and tori
all over the land constantly remind I
of the price paid for united country {

races and colors, who seek protection b

howmany who pass usin the daily busine

an empty sleeve. or beneath well fittt
