THE RUTLAND HERALD.
The Ethics OF Loafing.

The Golden Age in a recent issue. draws
a timely lesson from the recent prostr4
tisn of vice-President Colfax from the
effeots Of everlasting his nervous system.
1t says:
u;s case is but another one added to
chat martyrology to which the public men
- The present age have made 30 many
oontributions-the martyrology of toll.
Canning, Maoualay, Sir George Crom-
we'll Lewis Golden, Edwin NJ. Stanton,
worked themselves 10 death, just as Bis
marok. Gladstone, Bright, Sumner, Schurz,
and Colfax are doing. i
And we need not limit this mode OF
slow suicide to the politicians. Onr mer-
chants, editors, fnsnciers, lawyers minis
ters. and railroad officers, are committing
the same sin, and suffering the same PEN
alty. In fact, this, for the master.spirits
Of our time, is the favorite mode of dying
the enthanasia of the nineteenth cen.
tury. The one thing that our ablest men
are unable to do is-to loaf. The very
air Of this age is charged with the oxygen
of restless enterprise, and it acts upon
mems souls as new and more furious
alcohol. The high places of the land con-
tain men guilty OF gross intemperance In
work, regularly drunk with eagerness to
toll, sots on the fiery liquor OF tyran-
nous and underwriting industry.
1t may be question whether the best
assurance Of a long life, is not feeble
constitution. The men of iron frames, of
muscles wrought of the heart of oak, of
giant energy and endurance, are the very
men who presume upon the extent of
their physical capital, and soonest become
bankrupt in vitality.
The ethics of loafing needs to be ex-
pounded and the ain of inordinate in.
dustry to be denounced. No man
has a better right to kill himself by
over.working than he has to do it by
overwhelming. II suicide be crime, he
who dies by putting too great task
upon his strength is as truly criminal
as he who dies by putting bullet
through his head. If a certain amount of
rest and recreation is necessary to mans
health and life, the omission to take it is
as great an offence against Gods law in
nature, as would be the omission to take
food and death by willful starvation is
no more an act of self.destruction than is
death by willful fatigue.
Should revised edition of the Deoa-
logue be issued for the need of this age,
it would probably contain an alteration
in the command "six days shalt thou
labor" changing the six into five, and
compelling US to take two Sundays every
week. If we had more Sundays, we
should have more work days.

A Hearts Petition.

Lie all night long upon my branch, o dew,
And by thy sweet distillipg,
My barren stock uplifting,
Burst out in soft spring foliage, fresh and new.
Rest all night long upon my heart, o love
Gods love which is forever,
Whereby each frail endeaver
OF man is sanctifed for heaven above.
The end draws near.-Hght up nay soul, o faitf
Sure of the morning breaking,
Sure of the blest awaking,
Beyond the dim, blind porticos of death,
o faith love o dews of sacred birth,
We are of Gods free giving,
Mans human life OUTLYING,
Yet solacing his darkest hours on earth.

NARD.

Having become satisfied, after thorough inves-
tigation, that Elastic Sponge, as now and lately
manufactured, is of the best of all the subst-
tutes for curled hair, for many If not most OF the
uses Of upholstery, we have accepted the agency
of it, and intend hereafter TO make it speciality
in our business. The objections which have been
made to it and which it is well known We our
selves have thought were well founded, we have
ascertained cannot be urged against the article
as now perfected. The process of manufacture
has been entirely remodeled under the advice
and superintendent of one of the most eminents
of New England. New chemical and mechanical
appliances have been introduced in cleansing
crude Sponge, and in charging it with glycerine
with such entire success, that Elastic Sponge may
now be said to be chemically pure. There is alb
solutely nothing in it but the clean fibre of
Sponge and chemically pure glycerine.
The objections to Elastic Sponge being thus re-
moved there remain its undisputed merits which
certainly entities it to be considered one of the
most valuable it is one of the most curious and
interesting of late discoveries. Chief among these
merits is, that it is proof against moths-the
great scourge of the business,-and against all
other insects. Then its elasticity is permanent,
based as IT is on the n-evaporable property OF
glycerne and the indestructbility of sponge fibre.
| We have always been satisfied upon these two
points, which are the essential requisites in such
materials. The evidence is now equally clear
| that it is wholesome and sweet. It is certainly
| light and soft, easy TO manipulate, and cheap
enough for all except the lowest class OF goods.
For the cushioning OF churches. theatres, public
halls, railway stations, omnibuses, carriages,
steam and horse cars and the like, il will p<oba-
bly, be found everything considered, the best ar
tcle in For all uses, and especially for bed
ding, We are now prepared TO recommend the
public to give it fair trial as we ourselves in
tend TO do. We ready also to answer inquir-
les, make estimates and take orders for every de-
scription of work in Sponge, as well as to supply
the article in bales.

CAvENDIsH.-Yesterd morning, June
18th, there was quite frost in the north
part of this town, doing little damage
save to kill few of the brakes in the low
lands; but the long spell of cold dry
weather makes the corn look very sickly,
and should it continue cold much longer
we shall have to give it trip to Saratoga
for it's health. To-day it is raining heav.
lily, yet it is cold rain a.; the hay crop
must be late, and guess lighter than it
has been for long time.
The past winter has been hard one
for Windsor county, the land is used tc
having a good coat of snow to protect il
from the frost, but although a much
larger amount of snow fell here than
many people imagine, yet the frequent
showers and warm sun melted it So
quickly that the ground froze hard and
deep. Last fall I resolved to measure
every fall of snow that we had through
the winter, and I did so, taking care tc
select places least affected by the wind
and after an acurate measurement find
that it fell so and ! inches, or 6 feet s!
inches; yet of all this bulk of light snow
there was not over eighteen inches on a
level at any one time.
Well, Mr.. Editor, after all the other
sugar makers have told their story about
this wonderful sugar season, allow me tc
tell mine. tap $40 trees, and draw the
sap about 90 rods to the house, using an
OK team. David E. Burgess, a boy 10
years old and weighing only 100 pounds
has been about my only help, and to-
gether we have made 2,516 pounds of hard
sugar, boiling the sap all in two pans,
(only enough to make 800 lbs on an old
lead stone arch without CRATE in it or q
heater. We boiled twenty-six nights all
night long, and often we would gather
sap till midnight by the light OF Ian
tern, and at last we had to cut and draw
green wood to boil with, aside from having
to handle the sap four times. know OF
no one that has worked harder or done
better with so poor a chance. Low.

ANOTHER FIRE ALARM-Scarcely had
the exhausted fremen, who had labored
so theoretically and successfully to stay
the progress Of the fire on Thursday
night, retired to their rest, before another
general alarm summoned all to their posts.
The alarm was given about six o'clock
yesterday morning, and was caused by the
reminding of the partially extinguished
flames in the ruins of the house Of Mr..
Albert Landon. The fire was subdued
without difficulty.

If man is not too mad to intend

Frazer than the phoenix" says De
Quincy, " is the virtuous man who will
consent to lose a good anecdote because it

In striving for the attainment of any
object, the heart must be in the work for
such attainment, and not set on the OBJ

What do we need to make us consid-
crate? Much good sense and drop of

The gift of birth is very different
thing from the gift of life. To be born is
to have every chance of a blessed immor-
tality; to live is too often to forfeit them
all.
What we think we need is riches !;
our real desire is for place, esteem, regard
appreciation. love, in the heart of human
ity.
AS in the silence of the night, the ear
catches the least sound so, in the solitude
of reflection, the mind detects soft and
delicate strains of thought, unheard in
the hustle of crowd.
Sidney Smith recommends it as a
rule, to try to make at sleast one person
happy every day, and adds the calcula-
tion,-take ten years, and you viii have
made 1850 persons happy, or frightened
small town, by your contribution to the
fund of general Joy.
The merest fool, who has plenty of
the gregarious instinct of selfish caution,
is, on the ground of his conformity, more
likely to be called man of sense by the
mass of society, than a man of genius and
sense too, with original tastes, modes of
thought and motives of action.
To husband strength, mental and
physieal-to husband and govern power,
passion, every impulse and every attrl-
butte of our nature, so that there may ever
be with us the reserve strength for use
and enjoyment-is one OF the chief secrets
of happiness. Excess in pleasure or en-
ploymeut is the banesof life. To stop
little short of the point of repletion is the
golden secret.
ALI true love expands, not narrows
strengthens, not weakens; annoints the
eyes with eye-salve, not blinds opens the
heart and opens the world, and transfg
ures the universe into an enchanted pal
ace and treasure house of joys, simply by
giving the key to unlock its chambers, and
the vision tolsee its treasures.
The ambitious desires of our early
days are mostly enveloped in dim, I'M
certain glamour and the crude, unreal
years during which the majority of man
kind are afflicted with youthful aspira-
tions, are not highly satisfying when
looked at with retrospect. An hour of the
strong will and bright, steady hopes of
middle age are worth lifetime of them
THAT person is happy who. amid the
storms, troubles, and trials of life, in ev-
erything has learned to take refuge in
God. Birds, frightened or disturbed, lift
themselves on their wings and fly away
their wings save them; so we, if we know
how to fly toward God on the wings of
love and prayer, shall be safe.

location, and is to be run due north 10000
feet. The tunnel will cross the direction
of the Emma and the other fine mines in
the Emma mountain. The company has
four locations in the line of the tunnel
and one within the distance of fifty feet
They have also fine mill-site, the pro-
perty of the stockholders. The work
will be driven night and day with three
shifts of men. The stock is inaccessible

wonder is that it had not been thought Of
before. 1t disposes of all obstacles, such
as probes, emetics, stitches and stomach
