WRITES ron THE VERMONT PHGsIx.
THE OLD SO.V'G.

ny Mrs. JEHNiE Il. GALE.
sweetly broathed the zephyr DER us;
Softly fell the glist'nlng dew;
In light and tender chorus,
Sang we there the old song through:
"You must wake and call me early,
When the sun awakes the day,
For they tell me ON the morrow,
I'm to be the queen Of May"
dladsomo May-day came, and gaily
Through the quiet woods we roved;
over the hill, through dale and valley,
NTong the well known haunts we loved /;
Where with rare arbutus flowers,
And the pale anemone,
Twined we many May-day garland,
Underneath the sheltering tree.
Many May has since departed,
Many June has passed away,
And the SHOWS Of many winter
Drlfted wildly since that day;
Often still my thoughts go wand'ring
backward 20 thosc bygone days,
To the carly friends Of childhood,
And the old familiar ways.
One there was, well remember,
with q maze Of golden hair,
Shading eyes Of glorious azure
And a snowy forehead rare;
In the dust they laid her beauty,
Blooms the fragrant violet there,
For the angels called her carly,
Ncver-fading wreaths to wear.
And another. when DER Sumter's
Walls the old flag sadly fell,
And the patriot armies rallied,
Bade to home and friends farewell
With a lightsome heart, and proudly
To the combat marched away;
But the southern sun is shining
Ger his nameless grave to-day.
Still the flowers upon the hillside
Bud and blossom as before,
And the song that we were singing,
In "the happy days Of yore,"
Now in chorus sweet is floating,
Stealing on my list'ning ear,
"You must wake and call me carly,
Call me early, mother, lear"

The FORESTS OF EUROPE. - The
Philadelphia Public Record, In the
course of an instructive article On the
forests of Europe, remarks:
France, with forty millions Of peo-
pie, has twenty millions of acres
Of woodland; while Italy, with
twenty-five millions of Inhabitants, has
but one million two hundred and fifty
thousand acres. England has no heavy
timber but her traditional oaks, and
her importation Is twice as great rs
that OF France. Holland and Belgium
are also nearly denuded Of timber, and
are large importers. North Germany
Is rich In forests, but within half a
century she has begun the work Of de-
struction In cutting down young trees,
and now has to import lumber. Aus
tria has sold her forests under the
hammer since railways have been in
troduced. Foreign spectators have
thus cut down to the stumps forests In
the Slovenian districts formerly COIL
sidered inaccessible. The timber Is
shipped from Trieste to western Eu-
These woodlands contain about
two hundred and fifty thousand acres,
from which the timber is now nearly
swept of. Five years ago, one OF these
of magnificent growth, sold for
about eighteen dollars per acre. Spain
and Greece and Portugal are almost
woodless. In Sicily there Is scarcely
any wood to be seen.

Romance.

4. from the Fort Scott MonItor.l
Thirty-one years ago, In that far
distant region known as Berks county,
Pennsylvania, lived and loved the
hero and heroine Of this sketch. It
would seem from present develop
ments that, 10 their case, as so often
before and since, "The course of true
love-" etc. They quarreled and part
ed-he to the then almost UNEMPLOYED
region of Western Texas, where he
amassed q considerable fortune and
took himself a wife. She remaining
under the paternal roof-tree until a
more fortunate sutton claimed tho fair
hand and buxom form, when, sitting
the old love, she united her fate with
one Of the rare and unusual name Of
Smith.
Tempus tugit-ed right along. Smith
was gathered to his fathers, and his
relict after divers hair-breadth escapes,
by land and flood, by force Of circum-
stances at last located near the ter
minus Of the NJ. K. and Il. railway,
and there held sway over what Is vul-
carly known as o "hash dlspensary,d
alias railroad boarding house. There,
weary Of limb and savage of appetite,
on Monday last, came a travel-stained
voyager seeking o "square meal"
One glance at the comely maiden who
presided over the fortunes Of the
hosiery, one glance In return at tho
grizzled locks and furrowed counte-
nance Of the guest, an exclamation, a
scream-and thlrty-one years vanished
"Like the baseless fabric Of vision"
and they rushed into each others
arms. Ills wife, DO it remarked, en-
PEASANT, went to her reward years ago.)
They had not e each other In over
q quarter Of n century, but the dor
mant fire Of youthful affection burst
again into q blaze at q breath, and
now, at this day, comes the finale,
to-wit:
MARnrED-At Fort Scott, Kansas, November
8, 1871, by Z. L. KOhn. Esq, Mr.. Daniel Alspach,
aged % yoars, to Mrs. Margaret Smith, aged %
years. No cards.

Tho Frozen Well Of Vermont.

The frozen we'll at Brandon, VT,
has recently been the subject Of q re-
port by a Committee Of the Boston So
ciety Of Natural History. Twelve
years ago the attention of the Society
was called to this curious we'll, which
remains frozen throughout the summer
months, and q committee was appoint
ed which continued each year for six
years, to visit and examine the well
and the surrounding country. A re-
port was then made and published,
but in consequence OF the predictions
of an eminent man Of science, that the
ice would soon cease to form In the
Brandon well, 1t became necessary to
walt q few years to collect further
facts. The committee now reports
that for twelve years the Ice has re-
remained In the Brandon we'll during
the hot months of summer, notwith-
standing openings were made In the
soil and q tunnel was run into the
gravel bed to give more free access to
the warm surface water. 1t has been
suggested that the water dissolves
something from the rocks that makes
it n freezing mixture, but q chemical
analysis shows that n wine gallon OF
this fluid contains 25.2 grains of solid
matter, receivable into 6.S grains Of
vegetable matter and 1874 grains Of
mineral salts. OF the solid matter, 2.S
grains were found to be composed Of
6~i-carbonate Of lime, magnesia and
iron, and sulphate Of soda with traces
of chloride of calcium and sodium.
Tllore Is therefore nothing In the coln-
position of tho water which will OK
plain the freezing. Other persons, ar
guing from the theory that electricity
produces hail, have assigned the action
Of the same influence rs the cause OF
the frozen we'll. Repeated tests with
the magnetic needle failed to disclose
any difference In local variation, thus
showing that no percepti6le electric
current was passing through the well
or tho surrounding soil. The original
explanation Is therefore adhered to BY
the committee. The gravel bed, 1t is
believed, was frozen by the cold Of
previous rigorous winters, and the
wave Of summer heat has not yet been
able to overcome that cold. Brandon
is situated In Rutland county, Yer
mont, and has the same latitude as the
northern part of Lake George.-E5-

How Girls May Be Healthy.

We make the following extract from
an article on american Women" by
Elizabeth Dudley, published in the
| Now York EUeaing Mail: .
Let a girl, during tho years from
twelve to eighteen, spend but one hour
daily in mental labor, taking up one
study at a time, walk another hour,
labor at some agreeable employment
three or four hours, read an hour,
sleep oil she wapts during the night
but never take daytime maps" eat
plain, nourishing food-mostly bread
and roasted or boiled beef-and every
day indulge In all the fun and frollc
which her youthful spirits al devise,
and she will become healthy, happy
and intelligent. Then, from eighteen
to twenty-one, she may attend Vassar
or any other college, and will find her
self better able to carry of prizes than
the girls who have been always at
school. But che will not have deyel-
oped wiry muscular strength equal to
the young men of her own age, be-
cause nature has forbidden it. A girl
Is provided from birth with moro adj
pose tissue than a boy, not, as some
suppose, to keep her warm, but to rem,
der her muscles more juicy, soft and
yielding than his. The Investigations
Of some ANTAGONISTS have also proved
that her body contains a much greater
number of nerves, and that her arterial
system on approaching womanhood
becomes more largely developed than
his. I therefore cannot at all agree
with the writer who says "we see no
way out of this difficulty but to COM
mence with the cradle and educate
girls rs nearly like boys as possible"
Walking and horseback riding, when
practiced with Judgment and not car
ried to the point Of severe fatigue,
have been found great aids to girls In
the establishment Of good health, and
outdoor emplOyments answer
the same purpose, especially when the
mind Is agreeably occupied.

FUNERAL SoLEMNITIEs OVER A PET
Doa.-About q week ago a man In
Troy applied Mt the Mount Ida Gene
terry and requested a grave to be dug,
to be ready on the following day. Inc
instructions were needed, and at the
appointed time the funeral cortege
arrived at the "home of the dead"
The corpse was contained In an elabo-
rate coffin, lined with white satin, on
the outside of which was the usual In
scriptlon of birth and death. The GER
emony vas performed and the mourn
ers wendell their way homeward. A
h~ead-board was placed at the grave, on
which appeared the following inscrip-
tlon: "Our little adopted child" A
day or two subsequently, the Superin-
tendent Of the cemetery, having his
suspicion excited, had the grave
opened, and upon raising the coffin lid
the body Of q dog was found calmly
reposing In death.

Tho Fir. Reform Step.

-
On the eve Of the election William
NJ. Tweed, In addressing a mass meet
ing Of his constituents, told them he
sought a reelection to the State Sem
ate for Its moral value as an indorse-
ment Of Its course!
Mr.. Tweed was reelected. How 1t
was accomplished the telegraph in
forms us. Reporters infested the poll
Ing places and took possession Of the
ballot-boxes ; the friends of the opposl-
ton candidate were brutally driven
from the field; 0'Donovan Rosa, his
opponent, was severely beaten and
afterwards arrested on q trumped-up
charge; w0uld-be voters OF the Reform
ticket were intimidated by brulsers
and shoulder-hitters, reinforced by
roughs under the lead Of a prominent
Democratic Alderman Of Philadelphia,
and every conceivable fraud was wit
messed In the voting. These frauds
were instlgated, as the telegraph In
forms US, by leading Democrats, from
Governor Hoffman down, and COM
mitted with the connivance Of the po-
lice, who exercised their authority In
arresting the innocent, and permitting
the guilty to 70 free.
This state Of things and their results
were anticipated. The World, late In
league with Tweed, only q week ago,
declared that his district ais the most
loathsome political scab in the United
States" cit is not the residence Of
the people who have any regard for
the decencies Of lite or the esteem and
good opinion Of respectable society.
The very dregs and scum Of our popu-
latlon, the o~ff.scouring Of this country
and all others inhabit t."
Under these circumstances 1t Is .there-
fore not to be wondered that Mr.,
Tweed was successful. No respecta-
BILE person, however, will claim for an
instant that 1t Is OF any "moral value"
as an Endorsement Of his cause. Yet
to make sure that there be no mistake
of this kind, the Senate, which Is the
final Judge of tho elections, returns
and qualifications OF It's own MEN,
bers," should peremptorily and en-
pkatically deny him his scat. His long
list of crimes and misdemeanors, inclu-
ding the robbery of the New York city
treasury during the past three years.
and the recent frauds In his election,
| whereby In one ward more votes were
polled than there are male residents In
the ward, and the open buying Of
nearly n million Of dollars worth Of
votes, arc ample grounds for his rejec-
ton. No better earnest could be given
Of reform than the prompt closing Of
the Senate doors against Mr.. Tweed
1t will be the first test Of whether
money or principle Is to prevail In the
new observation-disclosures Democrat,

STORY OF A DIscoyERY.-The gravel
deposits Of Nevada county still re-
spond to the p~ersevering efforts Of the
p~rospectors, as will be learned by the
following brief, but rather romantic
story, told by the Nevada Gazeae Of
the 10th:
They "a couple Of miners) were en-
gagged for some time sinking n shaft on
the bench Of the hill leading to the
north fork of Deer Creek. Marker,
who has been carrying them beef from
Nevada, noticed Wednesday that they
had not taken the meat LEFT them on
Saturday, and became somewhat
alarmed, fearing they had been caved
upon, but was hspplly surprised this
morning when he met them at Henne-
fauth's. They had been at work night
aud day sinking their shaft, and were
out this morning celebrating the event
OF finding a splendid prospect. The
mine promises to DO M Of the richest

hall, that we can bear witness to the
fact that It was not a feat Of mere

impassive as ever, but there was un-
mistakable fire in his eyes. The girls
were those who represented the several
States In the procession, and Of curse

AFTER one Of John Randolph's pc

with copious quotations in Latin and
Greek, Kremer rose, and In n strain of

torrent of Pennsylvania German upon
tho head Of tho amazed and startled
Randolph His violent gesticulationa,
his loud aud boisterous tones, his def
ant manner, were not more annoying
to the imperlous Southerner than the
fact that he did not understand a word
that was spoken. And when honest

begged the honorable gentleman from

rs follows: 81 have only to say in re-

when he translates the dead languages
which lie is constantly using for the
benefit Of us country members, into
something like English, 1 will be
equally liberal In translating my liv-
