OUT or WORK.

ITS no use, Maria, I've tried

-'"But you are not going 20 give
up, Peter RI"
."Give up. How can I help it d?
Within four days I have been to
every book-bindery in the city,
and not bit of work can I get"
"But have you tried anything
etse?"
"What else can I try?
"Why, anything that you can
do"
"Yes, I've tried other things. l
have been to more than dozen
Of my friends, and offered to help
them if they would hire me-"
"And what did you mean to do
For ,thcm?'
II offered to post their accounts:
make out bills. or attend at the
counter"
Mrs. Stanwood smiled as her
husband thus spoke.
"What makes you smile?" he
asked.
'sTo think you should have i'm
agined that You would 6nd work
in such places
Peter Stanwood was q book,
binder BY trade, and had now been
out of employment over a month.
Ho was one of those who general.
II calculated to keep about square
with the world, and who consider
themselves particularly fortunate
if they kept out of debt. Hc was
now thirty years of age, and had
been marrisd eight years. He had
three children to provide for, be-
sides himself and wife, and this,
together with house rent, was q
heavy draft upon his purse, even
when work was plenty; but now
there was nothing.
"Maria," he said, stopping and
gazing at his wife in the face, owe
must starve. I have not single
penny in the world
"But do not despair, Peter. Try
again tomorrow for work. You
may find something to 90. Any
thing that is honest is honorable.
Should you make but shilling
day, VIC should not starve."
"But our houSe-rent?"
'FTrust me for that; the land
lord shall not turn US out. Ii you
will engage to find some work to
do, I'll sec that VIC have house
room"
I'll make one more trial." ut
tered Peter, dcspairingly.
"But you must go prepared to
do anything."
"Anyt',ing reasonable, Maria
aoything decent"
The wife felt almost inclined to
smile, but the matter was too Sc
rious for that, and a cloud passed
over her face. She knew her hus-
bands disposition, and she felt
sure that be would look about for
some sort Of work which would

as he had once or twice expressed
it. However, she knew it would
be of no use to say anything to
him now, and she let the matter
pass.
On the following morning the
last bit of food in the house was
put upon the table. Stanwood
could hardly realize that he was
pcnniless and without food. Yet
tho truth was naked and clear ;
and when he left the house he
said: "something must be done"
No sooner had the husband gone,
than Mrs. Stanwood put on her
bonnet and shawl. Her eldest
child was q girl seven years old,
and her youngest four. She asked
no. next door neighbor if she
would take care Of her childrea
until noon. These children were
known to be good and quiet, and
they were taken cheerfully. Then
Mrs. Stanwood locked up the house
and went away. She returned at
noon, bringing some food for her
children, and then went away
again. She got home in the eve
ming before her husband, carrying
heavy basket on her arm.
"Well, Peter" she asked, after
her husband had entered and sat

TEMPERANCE.-From the Vtndtc0t0r
we learn that the temperance people are
"crowding awfully." 1t says: mo other
Legislature in Pennsylvania has ever been
harrassed as the liquorites of the present
Senate and House are, by the persistent
clamors of the irrepressible temperance
men and women, for legislation on the
liquor question Indeed, the people are
knocking at the doors of the Legislative
HALL, and demand that our lawmakers
protect them from the ravages OF the
legal curse that is blighting the land
with desolation and death.

SAD FATALITY.-The death of Chas. L..
Morse of Chicago, which is mentioned in
another column, took place under the fol-
lowing distressing circumstances: Mr.
Morse held situation in the employ of
the railroad about the great Central De-
pot of that city. While crossing one of
the tracks in the yard, his foot became
caught in frog, in front of an approach
ing locomotive. Unable to extricate him
self, he was struck by the engine, his leg
broken in two places. and other injuries
inflicted, from which he died in three
hours. Mr.. Morse was Burlington boy,
a son of the late Miron Morse, and mar
ried niece of our townsman, @. A. Castle.
His remains were brought here day or
two since and deposited in the receiving
vault at Lake View Cemetery. His wife
and children are detained in Chicago by
illness, and the funeral is deferred until
they are we'll enough to be present.-Free

THE PLANETs.-The thres most brill
lient planets of our system, Jupiter,
Venus and Mars, are now conspicuous in
the evening sky. Venus may be seen in
the early evening in the West, showing
before the less brilliant luminaries have
made their appearance. She is passing to
her greatest eastern elongation, and
every evening increases her apparent dis
lance from the sun, and adds few min
utes to her stay above the horizon. Jupi-
ter, almost as brilliant as Venus, thengh
seven times as far from US, appears high
in the meridian above our heads, sur
rounded by the constellation of Aldebaran
and the Pleiades. Mars, giving forth his
rudy light, is conspicuous object in
the Eastern heavens. For the next two
months Venus will approach Jupiter,
nearly overtaking him at the time of her
greatest elongation, while Mars will re-
tain his sway in the east.

MONEY EAsY-As an evidence of the
great abundance of money seeking invest
ment we may mention that in Philad. ell

day, in it's advertising columns, offices of
various parties offering $4,000 to loan
on mortgage This amount In one paper
for one day points to two facts-first, that
money is very abundant and, second,
that capitalists are looking more to the
safety of investment by putting their
money into mortgages, than to large an
nual income from the promise of high
rates of interest on doubtful securities.

AN IMMENSE SNAKE SToRY.-A novel
affair recently took place in Marion Co.
Ohio, being no less than a snake hunt on
large scale. The reptiles had become
so numerous, and so fearless of people,
that small children were afraid to go to
school; and they even attacked some
adults. several having been bitten on their
boots, and it had become a common thing
for fifty or a hundred snakes to chase
men, women and children across the
prairie A party was therefore organized
for their destruction, and the snakes We're
surrounded and driven into a twenty acre
patch of prairie, and the outer edges of
the tall grass set fire to. The grass burned
well, the flames rolling up ten feet high !;
and as the line advanced, the snakes re-
treated to the centre, sometimes making
desperate efforts to spring through the
flames, but the blaze being too heavy. they
were killed in the attempt. One blue
racer was nine feet four inches long, and
seven inches in circumference.

Convention of Snperintenoens VI
Schools IN Rutland comfy

The frat annual meeting OF Town Su
nerintendents of Schools for Rutland coun
~. was held at the Stevens House in Rut
land, April 5, 1871. According to the
nrovisions of the amended school law 1t II
made the duty of these officers to hole
such a meeting together with the Secre
tarv Of the State Board of Education.
The perintendents of 10 out of th'
% towns in the county attended this first
meeting-the absentees being from tn
towns of Castleton, Dandy, Hubbardton
Mt. Holly, Mt Tabor, Pittsfeld ant
Shrewsbury.
Jno. II. French, LII. d., Secretary Of
the State Board, was chosen President OF
the meeting, and Rev. R. 7. Hall Of Pitts
ford, Secretary.
It was
Voted, That set of questions be pre-.
pared for use in written public examina-
lions of teachers, and that there be twelve
questions upon each of the following sub
iects, viz: Arithmetic, Geography Gram.
mar, History and Civil Government
Half Of these questions to be used at the
public spring examinations and the other
half at the fall examinations.
1t was understood that these written
questions shall not interfere with what
ever other examination oral or otherwise,
the Superintendents shall regard as neces-
sary. The work of preparing these ques-
tions was assigned to committees who, af-
ter careful consideration, presented sets
of onestiona which were with great unan-
unity adopted.
It was determined that the necessary
standard of qualifications for teachers
should be ability to answer correctly an
average of 65 per cent. of these questions
ia arithmetic, geography asd grammar,
aud so per cent. in history and civil gov
ernment, at the public examinations, but
Is per cent. on the first three subjects and
80 per cent. on the last two at all private
examinations.
The time of public examinations was
fixed as follows For the spring, Satur-
day, April goth, commencing at a. m.
for the fAll, Saturday, Nov. 18th, com
mencing al q. m. In accordance with
the new law uniform set of questions
and time of examination was agreed upon
TO. the whole county.
A committee consisting of Mr.. j. s
Clley Of Brandon, Rev. R. L. Hall of
P,ttsford, and R. D. King of Benson, was
appointed to make arrangements for the
next County Teachers Institute.
This meeting can hardly fail to have
considerable influence for good upon the
educational interests of the county. There
is danger that the schools will not make
that improvement which is urgently de-
minded unless we can raise gradually
but surely the qualifications of teachers
and render the work of town superintend-
ents increasingly efficient. The inter
obargs of Views with each other, and es-
pecisllv with Mr.. French, was felt by all
the observation-disclosures to be very profitable.
