ST. ALBANs.-The st. Albans Messen-
ger announces the Col T. W. Higginson,
of Newport, R. l., has been engaged by
Post Baldy Smith G.. A. R., to deliver the
grafton at st. Albans on Decoration Day,
May Both.
The Messenger says: The rapid aud
substantial growth of st. Albans the past
year, ought to furnish sufficient induce
ment for some of our capitalists to invest
their surplus funds in erecting tenement
houses. If twenty or thirty houses, cost
ing from $1,000 to $4,000 each, were to be
built the present season, we feel assured
that all could be rented as soon as COM
pleted. Just now we are informed that
there is not an unoccupied dwelling in
the place to be let for fair consideration
and the demand for comfortable tene.
ments is steadily increasing.

JUDGE KEYEs AS AN ARBITRAToR.-
Before the days of railroads, many farm
ers went to market with their produce
and returned with supplies for their fam
lilies They usually went in the winter
With each span of horses and lumber
sleighwueighbor travelling in company
for mutual assistance.
A company went from Westfield by
way OF Stockbridee, in snowy, drifting
time. and found some difficulty in going
through the snowdrifts from Hancock to
stockbridge When they arrived at the
toll gate above Stockbridge, they refused
to pay toll, for the reason that the mana
gers of the turnpike did notskeep it suita-
bly, broken out. The toll gatherer insisted
on their paying toll, ,butIthey obstinately re-
fused, and went through without paying.
The toll gatherer followed them to Judge
Keyes' who then kept a public house,
where they all called.
The farmers proposed to submit the
claim to Judge Keyes' decision. He
heard the parties, and looking short
time into the fire burning in his large
Fireplace, he said, II shall fine Mrs.
Keyes mug of cider" Mrs. Keyes paid
the cider and that settled it. P.

thanks to the people of North Granville,

in saving his property from the fire, which
but for their efforts must have destroyed
all the movable property as we'll as the

Within the short space of three-quar-

confusion, an almost incredible amount of
furniture, libraries and personal property
was saved.

his gratitude for the cordial hospitality
extended to the inmates of the North

of North Granville whose homes were
Immediately thrown open to the homeless

The Model and the statue.

Each man makes his oavn statue builds himself"
In that large block of marble, SO pure and 50
white,
Lies statue of some kind, concealed from the
sight,
And the artist, who seeks to reveal it, will lind
1t to be like the model he has in his mind. .r
Would he, Venus de Medici, out from it bring
With beauty and grace, fit for palace OF king,
Or the Greek Slave faultless, call forth from its
Sleep
Then the artist his eye on the model must keep.
With a strong, steady nerve. he must patiently
stand,
And must earnestly work with his ehisel in hand,
He must never let different patterns arise,
With illusions to dim or to dazzle his eyes
As from marble, the statue is skillfully wrought,
And perfection of beauty is out of it brought,
So from each human TO m the Creator has made,
There must come forth a character,i clearly por-
trayed.
His own skill as an artist must every one prove.
In preparing his soul for the mansions above
With the sword of the Spirit his work he must do,
Aud the Savior, his model, keep ever in view.

or painfully self-consciOus, her manners
have II charm of ease that gives ease to all
around her; if she has accomplishments,
they are practiced and mature, and you are
spared, for instance, the familiar horror of
II schoolgirls music; if she has not. the rosy
lovelincss of her youth, she has II knowl-
edge of the arts of the toilet that makes her
dress perfect and herself an attractive object;
in fact, she has only just become capable of
enjoying and giving enjoyment in society /;
and so far from the young idiots who call
her passee having any right to slurs in her
regard, it is she who should be herself an
arbiter of society, and have authority to pro-
nounce whether or not they are in any sense
fit to enter its charmed circles. Indeed, it
may well excite all the wonder that it does
among Europeans that the young are here
allowed to absorb all the cnjoyments of our
social life-the young, who have nothing but
their youth or their beauty to give; whose
minds and manners are almost totally I'M
trained and insufficient; who are, indeed,
objects of pleasure to the eye, and wherein
they yield other pleasure or profit do so
rather in n subsidiary way than in the main.
We do not wish to undervalue the element
of innocence and freshness which the young
bring, or are supposed to bring, with them
but we maintain that the virtue of years,
with their knowledge of the world we live
in, and their preparation for the world we
hope to live in-their wisdom, their grace,
and their charity-are of at least equal value
and deserve equal recognition in the places
where men and women meet together; and
we protest against the c%urving of the 'contu-
melious lip" over the claims to courtesy and
consideration of woman beyond her girl.

LET CHILDREN SLEEP ENOUGH.

As sleep is the period for replenisling the
system, for restoring the cells wasted by the
nervous activity of the day-the period when
the processes of digestion reach their final
results, by identifying the new nutriment
with the system in the place of the waste of
the tissues-it follows that children need
more sleep than grown persons. Many who
might be plump, active and happy, if given
sleep sufficient, are flaccid and sallow, weary
and fretful, because they do not sleep enough
to allow the demand of the system for nutri-
ton to he supplied. Children often feel it
very hard that they are sent to bed early,
while the grown people sit up and enjoy
themselves long after they are in bed. If
any children chance to read this paragraph,
to them we would say:-You need more
sleep than your parents, because you lave to
grow and they do not. You need to use Il
good deal of the food you eat in growing
larger and stronger; if you consume it all in
activity you will not have enough to grow
with. Therefore you ought to sleep n great
deal, and let, the body rest from exercise, il
you would grow strong and healthy.

HOW TO BE HANDSOME.

Most people like to be handsome. Nobody
denies the great power any person may
have who has II good face, and who attracts
you by good looks, even before n word has
been spoken. And we see all sorts of de-
vices in men and women to improve their
good looks-paints and washes, and all
kinds of cosmetics, including n plentiful an
ointing with dirty hair oil.
Now, not every one can have good features.
They are rs God made them; but almost
any one can look well, especially with good
health. 1t is lard to give rules in II short
space, but in brief these will do.
Keep clean-wash freely and universally
with cold water. All the skin wants is
leave to act freely, and it will take care of
itself. Its thousands of air holes must not
be plugged up.
Eat regularly and simply. The stomach
can no more work all the time, night and
day, than II horse; it must have regular
rest.
Good teeth are a help to good looks.
Brush them with a soft brush, especially at
night. Go to bed with the teeth clean. Of
course, to have white teeth. it is needful to
let tobacco alone. Any powder or wash for
the teeth should be very simple. Acids
may whiten the teeth, but they take off the
enamel or injure it.
Sleep in n cool room, in pure air. No one
can have II pure skin who breathes bad mir.
But more than all, in order to look we'll
wake up the mind and soul.
When the mind is awake, the dull, sleepy
look passes away from the eyes. / do not
know that the brain expands, but it seems
to. Think, read-not trashy novels, but
books that have something in them. Talk
with people who know something; hem
lectures and learn by them.
This is one Of the effects of good preach
ing. A man thinks and works. and tells Us
the result. And if we listen, and understand,
the mind and soul are worked. If the
spiritual nature is aroused, so much tht
better. We have seen II PLAIN face really

THE VERMONT FARMER FOR 1872.

In order to greatly increase the subscription list of the
FARMER during the coming fall months, we have decided to
offer the following
Inducements for New Subscribers.
To any one, not already a subscriber, uho shall sub
scribe previously to theGrst day Of January for the FAR
NkRJor the year 1872. zoe tciH send, as a present, all the
numbers Of this year Which shall be issued after his
subscription is received.
We would ask our subscribers everywhere to extend this
notice and to invite their n~eighbors to subscribe.
But our present subscribers are not to be forgotten. We
have an ''inducement'' for them also. TO every one that
,siH forward the subscription of one ne,o subscriber for
one year, Nth the renewal ofhis own subscription for
nine months, te ,DiH credit the other three months to
complete his year and in the same proportion for any
greater number Of subscribers he may be able to send. Thus
by sending FOUR nep subscribers, any present subscriber
can obtain the FARMER next year for nothing.
Subscribe early the earlier the better and the more num-
beers you will get free. Renewals may be made at any time,
even though the subscription does not expire until the first Of

THE LOSSES OF BIGOTRY.

Bigotry has SO lar passed away in its more
unbcarable forms that we are disposed to
for get and overlook the remainder of evil it
inflicts upon us. That half-sluggish, half
intolerant feeling which leads us to refuse
consideration, attentive and careful consider
alton, to the new views OF our time, and to rest
contentedly in what traditional ease and
security of belief we can command, works IL
degree of mischief we are scarcely aware of.
We forget that it is impossible that II man
should understand his own beliefs, social and
religious, otherwise than by testing them in
u vigorous opposition TO other beliefs.
There is but one period in which the force Of
n doctrine is likely to be fully and generally
felt; and that is when it is first eliminated
and established in the conflict of thought.
This moment of deep discernment and
strong feeling having passed, the new doc
trine, shelved among the other accepted
doctrines of the current creed, is rarely taken
down and looked through again by the pub
lie mind, to the enlargement or even revival
of those first impressions. Beliefs, like books,
have their times of publication, when
men are more awake to them than they soon
will be again. A new and vigorous assault
on old doctrines both shows the need of their
renewed consideration, and gives Il provoca-
ton to it that should not be lost. 1.-THE rclig-
ious or social creed is to be rc-establisbed
without change, which is not probable, II
candid and cordial controversy, such rs II
sincere and unbigoted tendency of mind
provokes, will be richly worth all the labor
it may cost. The foundations of truth,
covered by the drift of time, will be I'M
earthed. and men will see and understand
what they before feebly believed. Truth
needs to renew its hold on each generation
and each mind; and this it does most rapid
ly and successfully under the fresh assaults
of the current hour. Nor will those attacks
be found unfruitful of change. Either in
its very substance or in its form of statement
our creed will show the results ofthese living
processes it has undergone and under famil-
lar features, it will no more be the same
thing in its ministration to spiritual life than
is the body, renewed and re-renewcd by
food and action. If we wish to know any
religious truth or social truth ms we ought
to know it, in its inner strength and outer
bearings, we must study it diligently under
those exact conditions of comprehension
which our age furnishes us; and these m,
primarily, the conflict of diverse thoughts
and experiences over it. One vigorous
and honest and searching inquiry into ant
defense of truth is worth more to the mind,
that undertake it than any and all forma
instructions. The first loss of this bigotr,
f of fccbleness is that the bigot does not under
stand his own creed. He thinks he sees tn,
truth, without seeing it, and leads IL veal
intellectual life, of no spiritual significance
