To encourage farmers.to fence off a portion
Of their poor pastures for the growth OF
wood, Mr.. J. Lawrence, in his address at the
meeting Of the Vermont Board Of Agricul-
ture at st. Johnsbury, said " There are a
few acres of high land about one mile from
the village, almost in sight from those west
ern windows, that sixty-four years ago grew
a good :rop of corn, planted among the logs,
Indian fashion. The owner dying 1t was left
to itself. 1t grew up again to wood. 1t
has been twice thinncd out, much good wood
taken from it, and now has $50 sugar-t trees
to the acre, that have been used as such for
six to eight years. That map e-grove is ad-
mired by all who sec it, and $500 per acre
would no doubt be refused by the owner to-
day"

Jennie that evening had q comfortable
cry in her little room, for such disap-
pointment was not to be gotten over in a
day. Then taking pencil and paper she
fell into what her father called Jennie s
frances when she hardly knew whether
she was in the body or not. The result OF
the evenings study was an exquisitely
beautiful poem, an indian legend, full of
spirit and wild pathos.
Commencement Day came the church
was crowded to OVERLOOKING several of
the essays had been read and applauded,
and now the audience was listening breath
essly to the poem. Jennie, in white, the
pink bushes creeping all over her face,
was throwing her whole self into its de-
livery. She finished, and the walls
echoed the loudest applause yet.
Then came the valedictory, only flow
cry effusion of unmeaning words, misera-
bly, delivered. The next days papers had
particulars of the Commencement exercis-
es. Each young lady received puff of
course. Jennie's poem received highest
cncomums. The valedictory was well
delivered by Miss Florence Perlie," said
the article, in conclusion. That was
Florence's only praise.

Beauty was most wonderful baby !;

first babies are So but quite like some
thing in fairy-book. She was very, very
handsome, with the most bewitching brown
curls and starry-blue eyes L ever saw, and
so precocious that she walked and talked
like a child of three or four years when
only nine months old. She was the mar
vel of everybody.
Now Lottie's papa had a spirited horse
which he kept in stable near the house,
and the child went one day to the stable,
and finding that by some accident the door
had been left open, and the horse had un-
fastened himself, picked up the rope and
led him forth 70 drink The little gypsy
was delighted Not so her papa and
mamma, looking from the window. Her
papa went toward her rs fast as he could
without startling the horse. La the mean
time, Beauty tumbled down, and the horse
sagacious and cautious, waited or her to
pick herself up. In moment She was on
her feet again, the graceful little hum
ming-bird that she was, and had arrived
at the watering trough with the spirited
creature following, meek as lamb, at the
end Of the rope, and had already set him
drinking when her papa came up to her.

A Rich story.

A Parkersburg paper says that sew
eral members Of the Virginia Legis-
lature took the cars at Grafton, late
on the evening Of the 10th ult., for
the city of Wheeling, and among
the number was a Mr.. G., of some-
what large proportions physically,
and Mr.. d., of proportional under
size.
These two-the stalwart Mr., G..
and the smooth faced little Mr.. d.
1t seems took berth together i'm n
sleeping car. The little man laid be-
hind, aud the good-natured and
waggish Mr. G.. before.
Mr.. ID. was soon sleeping and
snoring furiously. Mr.. g., more
restless under bis Legislative bur.
dens, soon rose, and was sitting by
the stove, when an elderly lady came
aboard and desired berth.
"All right, Madam said G., 81
took berth with my son, and you
can occupy the berth where my little
boy is sleeping"
Taking Mr.. q. at his word, the
lady disrobed herself and layed down
with the boy.
After quiet repose of sometime
the "boy" became restless from some
cause, and began to kick around, to
the annoyance Of the old lady, so In
a paternal manner, she patted him
on the back and said;
"Lie still, sonny, pa said might
sleep along with your
Thunder and lightning" !" cried the
legislator; "who are you? ! am no
boy; / am member OF the West
Virginia Legislaturep
1t IL said that the old lady swooned
and could not be revived until Mr..
ID. promised that Mr.. G. should be
impeached.
Mr., ID. swears that the thing shall
not rest here.
What action the Legislators will
take for the purpose OF protecting
their own dignity. remains to be
seen.

Rich without MOpey.

Many q man Is rich without mon
ey. Thousands OF men with moth
ing in their pockets, and thousands
without even a pocket, are rich. A
man born with good sound con-
stitution, good stomach, good
heart, and good limbs, and pretty
good head piece, is rich. Good bones
are better than gold tough muscles
than silver, and nerves that fash
fire and carry energy to every funct~
ion are better than houses and land.
1t is better than landed estate to
have the right kind of father and
mother. Good breeds and bad breeds
exist among men as really as among
herds and horses. Education may
do much to check evil tendencies or
develop good ones but it IL a great
thing to inherit the right proportion
Of faculties to start with. The man
Is rich who has good disposition
who Is naturally kind, patient,
cheerful, hopeful, and who has q fla

What Education Costs.

Sioux City pays her teachers the
sum Of 81 300 year for ten months
teaching. The highest salary paid is
that of Prof Rogers, $3.50 n month
81 500 year, and the highest to a
lady teacher, $l30 month, 81. 800 a
year to Miss Quintrell. The lowest
salary. $50 a month, $500 year to
another lady teacher. The number
of pupils is constantly varying, so
that it is difficult to reach the exact
number, tut taking the total Of our
population between the ages OF five
and ten. 1880, we pay our teachers
seven dollars head per annum for
every person in the city between
those ages, assuming that one half of
these go TO school, and we pay $l4
per annum for every scholar. Add
to this the interest on the capital
used in building our school houses.
$50, 900 at 10 per cent. per annum or
S., 900 year, and for fuel, books aud
other incidental expenses, $1,000
more, and the expense Of educating
a child at Sioux City, in the public
school, will foot up S2S per year.
This figure looks big at first, but
better pay $2S for years education,
than risk the chance Of paying
board at penitentiary in after years
A good education is q costly public
gift, but in the end it means econo-

who receive little or no education,
