Miss Philips is superior teacher, her
great natural talents and peculiar
tact, for imparting instruction to children

ton and large experience, place her in
the front rank of the teachers of our coun.

The prosecutions Of her enemies and
her noble and independent course in thi'

the estimation of a generous public.

1t is a maxim of natural philosophy
that the natural forces wear out in time
all obstacles and take place and tits the
maxim of history that victory always falls
at last where it ought to fall; or, there is
perpetual march and progress of ideas.
But in either case, no link of the chain
can drop out. Nature works through her
appointed elements, and ideas must work
through the brains and the arms of brave
and good men, or they are no better than
dreams.

And marching singly in end ess file,
Bring diamonds and fagots in their hands.

Forgot my morning wishes, hastily
Took few herbs and apples, and the day
Turned and departed silent. |, too late,
Under her solemn fillet saw the scorn.

4 Closing Argument at a Justice
q ~ Court.

- OouISs
Forty years ago Christopher Webber
was one Of the prominent men in town.
he had much to do with building the ORR
ginal Turnpike road from Bellows Falls
through Chester, Csvendish and Ludlow
across the Green Mountains to Rutland.
In the palmy days of the Vermont Militia
he also bore the well.earned title of Cap
tain. He, also, for years served as a
magistrate and trial justice, who enforced
order in his own court in his own peculiar
way, he will long be remembered-snd
the local history of the town truly tells Of
case on trial before him in which Trial
G. Hatch and the late r. Wasbburn leach
of whom were subsequently better known
as Judge Hatch and Judge Washburn,
and the latter of whom was the father of
the late Gov. P. T. Washburn, of Wood
stock,) both then resident attorneys of the
town, were the opposing lawyers.
1t seems that Hatch had made his
speech to the Jury, when Washburn rose
to RELY. In doing so he used words as
the exponent of his IDEAS not found in the
celebrated reply of Webster to Haync
and which Esq. Weber deemed out Of
place and insulting to the occasion, and
entirely irrelevant to the due admins
tratien of justice. He SO informed the ex,
cited advocate, and requested him to
change the line of bis remarks. But the
lawyer paid no attention to the Interrupt
ton of the Court, and went on with his
argument. Weber bore the infection as
long as he thought duty demanded-and
again said:
"Mr. Washburn, you must cease that
kind of talk in this Court. have already
once intimated to you the inappropriate
ness of your language, and / now tell you,
that unless you change your style, you
must sit down, for will not have such
words spoken in the trial of any case be-
fore me-"
Mr.. Washburn refused to obey, and
was about to proceed. Those who remem-
Der the temperament OF each ana the COM
handing figures of both Weber and
Washburn, tall and muscular, can now
we'll imagine the scene. But the Court
was too much for the lawyer. Rising
from his seat, Weber suddenly seized
Washburn by the coat collar, and in an
instant spread him bis whole length upon
the floor, exclaiming, "there, Mr.. Wash
burn, told you to sit down the order OF
this Court shall be obeyed, and unless you
make a more decent speech in the interest
of your client, 1 shall make the closing
argument in this case myself"
The Justice Recordsiu Windsor County
do not show the full particulars of this
trial, but by-standers of that day, yet liv-
ing, assert that ever after there was due
respect paid to the wishes of Christopher
Webber, E-q., of Cavendish, by all lawyers
in their practice before him.

STOMACH IN TUE PULPIT.-The Hart
ford C0urd11t says, truly, that one great
want in our pulpits is stomach. Sermon
writing and preaching are very exhaust
ing, and need very sound bodies to sustain
the brains that sustain them. The preach
or ought to be as stout as the ditch digger.
Going to Saratoga for the vacation may
be a very good thing for the overworked
clergyman, and his presence there may
help to keep the races within bounds of
respeotability lying by the sea-shore or
lazily padding about in the smooth water
may be little tonic to the languid pro-
fessional man, but there is a better vacs-
ton for clergymen, and men of all sorts
who use their brains much. Our country
is full of tempting walking ground and
climbing ground. If the Rocky Noun
tains are too distant, there are the ALLIE
ghanies, the peaks in North Carolina
higher than either. A month or two
spent in such mountain work as the At
lantic slope offers would be worth much
more, both in mental inspiration and
bodily vigor, than all the watering places
in the country, to our scholars and writ

back for running, and the judges declared
it dead heat. Time 2.49.
,FD,lrM Heat.-R. Slaves having the
pole to the half mile stand where No
Name passed him and held the pole to
the scratch, winning the heat and race in
2.46, r. Slaves distanced for running.
SECOND RACE OPEN TO ALL HORSES.
A purse of $3.50; first 800. second $50,
third $50. =
This race was sandwiched in between
the heats of the three minutes race. The
Judges were the same as in the first race.
The purse was filled by the following
entries
Jerry Parker, Deceiver.
d. Rider, Grey Norman. .... .....
Frank Flanaghan, General Grant.
Mayo & Remedy, Red Bird. .....
L. Goodale, Little Mack. ..
G. B. Ballard, Snow Flake.
A. Bouret, Emperor.
A. G. Ensign, g b Charlie.
w. b. Dorm, Jim Bludsoe.
OF the above entries only five started
in the following positions, Gen. Grant in.
side, Snow Flake second, Charlie third,
Little Mack fourth, Emperor outside. Con.
siderable time was spent in scoring, and
finally they got the word ego" on bad
send off, Snow Flake taking the pole on
the fret turn and gradually pulled away
from the others until it looked as if they
would all fall behind the flag, coming in
in 2 SO, but Emperor, Gen. Grant, and
Littlo Mack saved their distance, coming
in in the order named, Charlie distanced.
Second Heat.-After spending at least
Is or 20 minutes in scoring, and the audi
ence had got completely Disguised they
at last got off, Snow Flake taking the
lead again on the start, widening the gap
to the close of the heat, coming home in
237, Gen. Grant second, Little Mack and
Emperor distanced. .......
Third Heat.-Snow Flake won this
heat in 2.3S, it seemed foregone con-
clusion long before the close of this race
that Snow Flake would win the race
therefore there was no betting on the re-
suit but a considerable number of time
bets were made.
During the day match was made by
the owners of Nellie King and No
Name, to be trotted September LIST, on
this track. The race is pay or play for
1875. No Name 5000, Nellie King $175,
best three in five to harness.
The races have not been as successful
financially as expected, but in other re-
spects exceeded any previous trials of
speed in Rutland county. Many causes
have contributed to the financial result.
Barnum's show was among the things
that attracted from the attendance and it
being the busy season of the year among
the farmers vas another cause that seri-
ously mitigated against a large attend
ance.

The Singer.
BY JOHN C. WHITTIER.

Years since tbut names to me before
Two sisters sought at eve my door; 3
Two song birds wandering from their neat,
A gray old farm house 10 the West
Timid and young, the elder had
Even then a smile too sweetly sad;
The crown of pain that all must wear
Too early pressed her midnight hair.
Yet ere the summer eve grew long,
Her modest lids were sweet with song;
A memory haunted all her words
OF clover-felds and singing birds.
Her dark, dilating eyes expressed
The broad horizons of the West;
Her speech dropped prairie flowers the gold
Ofharvest wheat about her rolled.
Foredoomed to song she seemed to me;
queried not with destiny
knew the trial and the need,
Yet, all the more, said, God speed.
What could other than did!
Could I a singing bird forbid!
Deny the wind-stirred Lutte! Rebuke
The music Of the forest brook? ..-.s
She went with morning from my door,
But left me richer than before;
Thenceforth knew her voice of cheer,
The welcome of her partial ear.
Years passed: through all the land her name
pleasant household word became;
All felt behind the singer stood
A sweet and gracious womanhood.
Her life was earnest work, not play;
Her tired feet climbed a weary way;
And even through her lightest strain
We heard an undertone Of pain.
Unseen of her her fair fame grew,
The good she did she rarely knew.
Unguessed Ct her in life the love
That rains its tears her grave above
When last saw her, full of peace,
She waited for her great release;
And that old friend so sage and bland,
Our later Franklin, held her hand
For all that patriot bosom stirs
Had moved that woman's heart of hers,
And men who toiled in storm and sun
Found her their meet companion.
Our converse, from her suffering bed
To healthful themes of life she led;
The outdoor world of bud and bloom
And light and sweetness filed her room.
Yet evermore an underthought
OF loss to come within us wrought,
And all the while we felt the strain
Of the strong will that conquered pain.
God giveth quetness at last
The common way that ALL have passed
She went mortal vearuip fond
TO fuller life and love beyond.
For the wrapt soul in your embrace.
My dear ones Give the singer place!
To you, to her-I know not where
lift the silence of a prayer.
For only thus our own we find;
The gone before, the left behind,
All mortal voices die between:
The unheard reaches the unseen.
Again the blackbirds sing the streams
Wake, laughing, from their winter dreams,
And trembe in the April showers
The tassels Of the maple flowers.
But not for her has spring renewed
The sweet surprises of the wood
And bird and flower are lost to her
Who was their best interp .eter
What to shut eyes has God revealed
What hear the ears that death has sealed
What undreamed beauty passing show
Requires the loss of all we know!
o silent land, to which we move,
Enough if there alone be love;
And mortal need can ne'er outgrow
What it is waiting to bestow
0 white soul! from that far-otf shore
Float some sweet song the watera DER;
Our faith confirm our fears dispel,
With the old voice We loved so WE'LL

OddEcIlOvEs, Picnic ut Bomosee
Lake.

picnic was held at Bomaseen Lake,
Castleton, Wednesday, August 9th, under
the auspices of the lady members of
Charity Lodge No. 3, of the Degree of
Rebekah of Rutland. Invitations were
extended to members of the order in
Shrewsbury, Poultney, and Brandon.
Quite a number outside of the order were
present by invitation. The day was fine
and the lake never more beautiful and
grand. The party, to the number of one
hundred or more, took easy possession of
Heath Ferry, and the twenty boats in
tentionally left at the Handing were soon
gliding in all directions, laden with faith
ers, mothers, sons and daughters, young
men and maideDs; and though it may
seem odd indeed there were some Oddfel
lows present without mothers, sisters or
maidens" They will be more gallant as
they advance in the order. AT noon the
boats were seen landing en- mass, and soon
the cause became apparent. The picnic
dinner was ready. The two long tables
were soon surrounded, and although ap-
petites seemed to be sharp, half hours
hard labor made but slight impression up
on the abundance of refreshments with
which the tables were loaded. The after
noon was spent in rowing, fishing, walk
ing, talking, and having a good time gen.
orally. All seemed to be happy and take
delight in adding TO the enjoyment of
others. Crawford was there, but not Of
Jcjally, as the harmony of the occasion
outranked him. The company separated
about six o'clock p. m, only regretting
that the day had been so short.
