The woman suffragists" at Boston were
rather sharp on Vermont, week before last,
in one of their resolutions See how they
laid it on;
Rcsoiref, That the constitutional convention q
Vermont, in refusing to consider the woman sui
lrage amendment proposed by the Council of Cen

have done discredit TO their State and have yio-
lated the principles and convictions Of their most

The Boston Commonwealth suggests
after commenting upon Mr. Summers con.
spicuous and disinterested services in aid Of

by restoring him to the Craftsmanship of that
Committee, on reassembing next December

~ The season is at hand when the chill
dren of our public schools are closing their
years study, and entering upon the long
vacation" After examinations are closed
there will be great scattering Of the pupils
There will be no more of rigid discipline, and
no more of study out of school, and but little
within The scholars will bid goodbye to
their teachers, and in many instances it will
be like last farewell, as they will be pro-
NOTED to other rooms or other schools, and
both teachers and scholars will be too busy,
in the autumn, with their new associations
and new duties, to renew the acquaintance so
steadily maintained during many months of
the past. Many, with the closing term, will
close their child-liie, and 60 out to the battle
of the world, TO earn their bread by the
sweat of the brow, to fight with temptations
perhaps to fall in the conflict struggle
with mislortunes, to win honors, to obtain
wealth, or to endure poverty, and to take then
part in shaping the future of our country
They begin the contest it may be, not fully
armed, but the training of the schools hai
been such as will enable them, if they follow
this teaching, to make the best use of the hes
weapons within their reach.

The OLD FASHIONED MOTHER. Thank God |
some OF u have an Old-tashiOned mother.
Not woman Of the period, enameed and
painted, with her great chgnon, her eurls and
hustle; whose white, jeweled hands have
never felt the clasp of badly fingers; but dear,
0ld-faShiOned, sweet-vOiced mother, with ewes
in whose clear depths the love-light shines.
with brown hair, threaded with silver, lying
smooth upon her faded cheek Those dear
hands worn with toll, gently guided our totter
ing steps in childhood and smoothed our
pillow in sickness even reaching out to us in
yearning tenderness when her sweet spirit was
baptized in the pearly spray of the river
Blessed is the memory Of an old-fashioned
mother! 1t floats to US now, like the beauti-
tul perfume OF some woodland blossoms. The
music OF other voices may be lost, but the en-
tranclng memory Of hers will echo in our souls
forever. Other faces will fade away and be
forgotten, but hers will shine on until the light
from heavens portals shall glorify our own.
When in the ftful pauSeS of busy life our feet
wander back to the old homestead, and. cross
ing the wellworn threshold, stand once more
In the low, quaint room, SO hallOwed by her
presence. how the feeling of childish innocence
ald dependence comes over us, and We knee
do vn in the molten sunshine, streaming
through the western windOw-iuSt where long
years ago We knelt by our mothers knee, lisp
ing Our Father" How many times when
the tempter lures us on has the memory of
those sacred hours. that mothers words her
faith and prayers, saved us from plungng into
the deep abyss of sin! Years have filed great
drifts between her and us, but they have not
hidden from our sight the glory of her pure,
unselfsh love.

AMERICAN WOMEN.-This is what Dr. Hol
land says on the subject of the physical condi
tion OF American women: There are other
signs Of improvement in the American, and
these relate mainly to the female side of the
nation. The American woman has long been
regarded by Europeans as the most beautiful
woman in the world. This she is and has been
for twenty-five years, without a doubt; and
as the circumstances of her lite becomes easier,
her labor less severe, and her education better,
she will be more beautiful still America
never possessed more beautiful generation
of women than she possesses to-day, and there
is no doubt that the style of beauty is changing
to a nober type. The characteristic American
woman of the present generation is larger than
the characteristic American woman of the pre-
viOus generation. 1t comes of better food, OF
better clothing. better Sleep more fresh air,
and less of hard work to mothers during those
periods when their vitality is all demanded for
their mothery functions. We venture to say
that the remark has been made by observers
thousands of times during the past summer, at
the various places of resort. that they had
never seen so many large women together be-
fore. Indisputably they never had

REMARKABLE ROSE BUSHES. The Oldest
of all rose bushes is said to be one which is
trained upon one side of the cathedral of
Hideshelm, in Germany. The root is buried
under the crypt, below the choir. The stem
is foot thick and halt dozen branches
nearly cover the eastern side of the church,
bearing countless flowers in summer Its age
is unknown, but documents exist which prove
that Bishop Hello, nearly a thousand years
ago, protected it by stone root, which is still
extant. The largest rose bush is white

sixty feet; aud at times, in early spring, as
many as fifty thousand flowers have been
counted on this queen of all rose bushes

CARTOUCHES CONSTANCv.-The genuine

very dramatic particulars not generally known

saw himself hOpelessly iorSaken, his heart was

those of two Of his mistresscs which head the
