Lines Written for a Friend on the
Death of mis- Wife.
BY MRS. d. IL. BARNES.

O mourn not for her so perfectly blest,
Who now is enjoying that rest-saoeet rest
The poor, weary body so often did crave,
But failed to receive 1t on this side the
grave.
She has passed to the mansions of heaven
ly light,
Now glorified saint clothed in robes of
pure white,
Though earth's ties are riven, 4 deep, purer
love
IS felt by the ransomed in heaven above.
They do not forget the loved ones below,
But as ministering spirits DER life's path
way go;
In times of temptation, of sorrow and
care,
We feel they are near us in communion
and prayer.
Though you are so so lonely and earth
seems a void,
Let the moments devoted to her be en-
ployed
In tracing the pathway, ascending the
skies,
And you are united where the just shall
rise.
She walks through the fields of azure and
gold;
Heart cannot conceive, eye cannot be-
hold,
What the Lord hath laid up for the faith
full above,
None ever conceived but Infinite Love.
Do not wish her again with you here
upon earth.
To DarfaI<e OF the sorrow. the blight and
the dearth,
When she has so safely crossed Jordan's
cold flood.
And basks in the immediate presence OF
God.
But train the dear Infant she left in your
care,
For the service Of God, if his lite He shall
spare;
May your family in heaven at the last
stand contest,
At the right hand of God, and receive,
Come, ye blest."

The Casualty at Centre Rutland.
IDENTIFICATION OF THE BODY.


As we stated in yesterdays HERALD,
a man was run over and killed by the
night express train from Burlington, at
about 1880 o'clock Friday morning,
near the residence of J. Grafton Griggs,
about two and one-half miles north of
this village His name was William
Moghan, he was of Irish descent, TWEEN
tv-five years of age, and had resided in
this town since he was babe of year
old, having been brought up by his uncle
at West Rutland. He had recently
been quite i'll, but, for the last three
weeks, had worked in the quarry, near
the ''double road crossing" He was a
sober, industrious, temperate young
man, and not in the habit of using in
toXicating liquors, as we are informed,
and we understand that no appearance
of such use, during thhe day, was found
on or about his body. He left his board-
ing house during the day of Thursday,
and came to this village for the purpose
of paying his taxes. He paid his taxes,
transacted other business and visited
some friends, and no one noticed any
indications that he had been drinking.
When first seen by the engineer, the To-
connective being then too near the man
to stop the train, he was sitting on the
track leaning on his hand, apparently
asleep. He was, of course, instantly
killed when struck by the locomotive,
his body being literally cut in pieces,
the several parts of his body being
thrown in different directions, and tC
the distance of several feet The re.
mains, or such parts of them as coult
be found, were gathered up and brought
here, and were, yesterday morning
taken to West Rutland for interment
The Catholic prayer book, found on hi'
body, in which was written, $40 Mar5
| Welc6, from her Mother, Aug. 3, 1871,
belonged to his little cousin.

who is Horace Greeley ?

A man is known by the company he
keeps. This is old, trite and true. 1t
may, and probably has, a direct appli-
cation to the matter in hand. 1t fur
nishes a complete and perfect answer to
the question asked at the head hereof.
1t is not our object, however, to discuss
or enlarge upon this, but we purpose to
examine the question from different
standpoint. A mans life, or rather the
history of mans life, is made up from
his ''actings, sayings and doings.". To
state it conciscly, "a mans record is
the history of his life. Hence biography,
history aud truthful! eulogy is but the
record of what the man has said or done.
1t can be nothing more, neither, if accu-
rate, can it be anything else. Here is
where the peculiar appropriateness and
force of the objection, ''to examiningOld
newspapers" constantly being made by
the opposition press and speakers, is
shown and illustrated. 1t is in view of
the disclaimers repeatedly made and
daily, even almost hourly, echoed by
Liberal and Democratic organs, and par
ticularly by that organ, which is mot
an organ" the New York Tribune, that
we ask the question ''Who is Horace
Greeley ?" We know-all know-that
he once was a poor printer boy, that he
successfully started or, if it can be so
termed, founded the NeaO Yorker, two
or three campaign papers and, finally in
1S41, the New York Tribune. With
the latter, he has ever since been con-
nected, unless we take into account his
purported withdrawal therefrom, i'm
mediately after receiving the Cincinnati
nomination Popular belief or super
stition has ascribed to him the position
of editor in chief of this journal. He,
himself, claimed it, and his friends made
the same claim for him To him has
been given the credit for those forcible,
pungent and brilliant articles which sum-
moned, or as Theodore Tilton expressed
it, weakened us every morning with the
sound of trumpet" and rallied the
host of freemen for the contest with
slavery, that aroused the Republican
party, formed them in serried ranks, in
spired them with courage, energy and
enthusiasm, assuring them with con-
fident faith in victorious and triumph
ant end, in tlieir battle with the Democ-
racy This, we say, has been the popu-
lar belief or superstition. Upon this, as
the chief and only corner stone, has Ho
race Greeley achieved reputation as a
journalist, rarely equaled. BY and
through his supposed connection with
the I55ba11ae, has he become known. 1t
is not too much to say, that but for the
Tribune he would be unknown to fame.
II seems, however, if we may believe
this same Tribune, and other papers of
that ilk, to say nothing of Democratico-

The teacher who would be successful
must cultivate the gift. If it comes hard
pray earnestly over it, just as you would
for any other spiritual grace. 1t is one
of your greatest means for doing good.
The very fact that you have trouble
is proof of the faithfulness of Christ,

years. Many who a little while ago
were hesitating as to their course, have
pronounced themselves emphatically for
the regular Republican nominations.
The sentiment is evidently growing
stronger. that, for President, the Soldier

as a Republican State.

A NEIGHBoRLY AoT.-Deacon John
Carpenter, of Guilford, was taking
sick in the midst of haying, and on
Wednesday of last week, his neighbors
to the number of sixteen, turned out and
finished up the job for him, the women
taking charge of indoors affairs while
the men did the haying. The act speaks
well for the neighborhood, and shows
the estimation in which that gentleman
is held.

ST.. JAMES CHURCH, ARLINGToS.-The
Sunday-school and parish of St. james
church, Arlington, held their annual re-
union, this year, on the anniversary OF
one of the decisive battles of the revolt
tion-that of Bennington-fought in the
year 1777. Morning service was held al
the church, and as the day proyedrainy,
the excursion to Deming's Grove was
given up, much to the disappointment Of
all, and especially the children. The
remaining exercises took place at the
Town Hall, near by. Here beautiful
tables were spread by the ladies, flowers
were abundant; a short address was
made before grace was said; the chill
dren played theirigames, and, with otn-
ers, gave appropriate music, some OF J.
being patriotic. All, including invited
guests from Rutland and elsewhere
seemed to enjoy the occasion, which was
largely attended, although. the rain KEEP
many away.

VERMONT PoIITIcs.- \ Hydeville cor

sentiment in Vermont, writes to the
Troy Times as follows:
As our State election draws near.
politics absorb more and more the public
attention. Stump speakers are abroad
every week, adding fuel to the fires that
make the political cauldron seethe and
smoke to an unusual extent Having
traversed different portions of Vermont,
and enjoyed opportunities for somewhat
extended observation, give it as an OPP
inion that the vote for honest" Mr.. Gree
ley will not much exceed the ordinary
Democratic vote of the State. Party
lines are beginning to be more sharply
defined, and it is now pretty well under
stood that Republicans who enter into
a collation. with the Democrats of Yer
mont must hereafter share the fortunes
of the party with which they affiliate.
This leads TO ''sober second thought. y
on the part of those who have any pol
itical aspirations. Notwithstanding the
personal preference of Mr.. Greeley,
they will not cast in their lot with a
party which must remain in a hopeless
minority for an indefinite number of

six hundred employees, and two-thirds Of them
are females, earning from seventy-fye cents,
1.-THE wages of "green hand, '') to five dollars
day. The average per diem to the six hundred
operatives exceeds three dollars. The manager
assures us that the female workers excel in
making the finer and more delicate parts.
The company is chartered under the laws of
Illinois, with a capital stock Of TWO millions,
and paid up capital in actual use of over a
million dollars. From the inception of the en-
terprise all the machinery used in making the
movements has been made in the compauy's
shops. Their engine bears the mark: Putnam,
Fitchburg, Mass" Their buildings of a cream
tinted brick, elegant in design, spacious, well
lighted, warmed and fitted throughoutwith every
modern convenience suitable for the manufae-
ture. Order and neatDess, thoroughness and
regularity seem to be the notices. The struc-
lures are located on the river bank, with large
and well-trimmed lawns in front and an oak
grove in the rear. Every attention possible is
paid TO the health aad comfort of the operatives.
Among the most interesting parts of the ma
chinery is that for cutting the jewels as they
come in the rough to the factory, just as they
are found in the Indies. The stones used are
the garnet, sapphire rocky and chrysolite.
They are cut into slabs by gang saw, which is
made of tin. The teeth are charged with dia.
mond dust CONSUMING $500 worth per week.,
which does the cutting. For this purpose tin is
better than steel.
Plainly, within the limits of this correspond
ence, it is impossible to even enumerate the
many machines in use. No manufacture re-
quires as accurate and delicate gearing and APP
planes as this. They are the results of the
highest mechanical skill, of most diligent, pro-
longed, and patient study, and do the finest
work with better finish and accuracy, and with
infinitely superior uniformity than are attained
in ancient Switzerland, by hand, where whole
cantons are engaged in Matchmaking, The FL
gin watches are found in every part of the
Union, in Europe China, Japan. The demand
exceeds the supply. Orders for some grades are
three months ahead. They are constant
ly charging the capacity of the estab-
liShment as fast as circumstances permit.
In no way, in the west, can q day be more
pleasantly spent than by visiting them. One
comes away with feeling that they are credit
to America, lasting monument to their found
ers, and show that we are fast equalling France
Germany, and England, in the higher mechanic
arts, as well as leading in agricultural imple-
ments. New England, even, must look to her
laurels in this department. The Technical
school came none too soon. The graduates Of
eastern workshops are earning honors for
themselves, and may outstrip in the race the
tnaphnrs who foupht Thorn n Ion Of tha
pilgrims; and their products outranks those of
the busy hives in the proud old commonwealth,
now foremost in her handiwork! JF.M.

There is gold in the potato field to be had for

country. But only sixteen per cent. of its pro-
ducts comes from its mines, while forty-6ve
comes from its agricultural products.
Illinois is about to build fifty-6ve miles Of
levees on the Mississippi river, seven feet high
forty-one feet at the base, and five feet at the

Hitherto, the husk of rice, known as rice
chaff, has been considered as refuse in the
South. 1t has lately, however, been discovered
to be quite valuable in protecting glassware and
other delicate articles when packed for ship
ment, and large demand has sprung up for it.
We read in the Atheneum that lady, the
last representative of the oldest established
bookselling firm IN Paris, Madame MareNyon,
has just died at the advanced age of eighty-fve
years. She was a descendant Of Guillaume
Nyon, who set up business as a bookseller as far
back as 1857. e., in the reign of Henry the
third. Madame Maire-Nyon carried on bust
ness on the Quai Cont, where the family had
resided since 1908, its then representative, Jean
Luc Nyon, being married to Marie-Anne Didot,
daughter of Denis Didot, merchant of Paris.
1t is interesting to note that Francois Ddot, son
of this Denis, started in business as bookseller
IN 1713, and thus became the founder OF the re-
nowned firm of IDIOTS, booksellers and publish
ers at Paris.
Stock raising in Texas for the northern mar
kets is becoming regular business of magni-
tude and Importance. One farm in southwestern
Texas consists of 10000 acres, and affords
pasturage for $1,000 head of cattle, which
require 25OO men on saddle horses to attend to
them. Another farm consists of 900 acres,
with $1,000 head of cattle. Hundreds of other
lots" comprising in excess of 10000 acres, are
also operated with profit. Some of these farms
fatten and sell $4,000 head Of cattle year. The
problem of roast beef and beefsteak in our
great cities is intimately connected with the
growth of railroad facilities in Texas and at
the present rate of railroad progress there it
will not be long before that state will supply us
with corned beef, fresh from its vast praires.

Ex-Governor Geo. W. Patterson addressed the
following letter to the Grant and Wilson meet
ing at Clymer, Chautauqua county, NY:
WEsTFIELD, N. Y, July IS, 1872.
Ny Dear Sir; Your favor of this date is just
received, requesting me to address the citizens
of Clymer on the subject of the approachin @
election. The time was when it would have
afforded me great pleasure to have complied
with your request, but younger men are the ones
to do the active duties of the campaign, while
we older ones must be content to do our part of
the voting.
The question to be decided at the election it a
very simple one: Shall those who were loyal to
the government during the rebellion continue
TO administer the affairs Of the nation, or shall
those who attempted its overthrow be placed in
power? That is the simple question TO be de-
cided at the election.
Some pretend to believe that Mr. Greeley was
true and loyal citizen during the rebellion, but
kRoto he 1g0s not, for he told me few mont
after the fall of Fort Sumter that "he wds in ia
gor Of the south going out Of the Union and stay
ing out" You may judge of my feelings on
hearing such declaration from a man who was
then at the head Of a paper claiming to be q
loyal sheet This was in September, 1861, when
was on my return from a trip to Virginia to
look after the wants Of the "boys in blue" |
told Mr. Greeley that he and JEFF Davis agreed
exactly.
You will recoleet that heIwent to Canada to
hold counsel with the rebels there, and was one
of the leaders in plot to prevent the renomina-
ton of the lamented Lincoln previous 10 his
second election.
The rebellion cost the country too many valu.
able lives and too much money to Justify any
loyal man in voting TO place rebel sympathz-
or in the presidential chair. Those pretended
republicans whom President Grant (God bless
himl has kept from plundering the public purse,
will, as matter OF course, vote for Greeley; but
thousands of democrats, who were true and
loyal men, will vote for General Grant.
1t will he aquestlon of honesty and loyalty on
one side, and disloyalty and thieving on the
other.
Hoping that Clymer will set the ball in mo-
ton, and that it may be kept rolling until every
rebel sympathizer will be brought low, is the
sincere wish of your friend.
