THE BATTLE or THE BULLFRoGs.

Many OF the citizens Of Vermont will
remember to have seen on ond dollar bills
Of the Windham County State Bank a
vignette representing bullfrogs lighting.
This was engraved to commorate the Bat
Tie Of Bulllrogs. The facts were as fol.
lows
Many years ago,when the town of Wind
ham, Ct, was newly settled, there came
very dry season. There are two large
ponds in Windham, separated by an in-
teryening strip of land of considerable
extent. Each of these ponds was inhab-
tied by large community of the reptiles
above named. The smaller poud dried
up, and its inhabitants started in body
for the lower, and larger pond. They
were met in the intervening space by the
community from the larger pond and a
fierce and long continued battle ensued
between the rival communities. Such
was the hideous believing of the frogs
during their fierce encounter that il al
armed the inhabitants, who at first sup
posed it to be the whoop of hostile saw
ages. But curiosity getting the better of
their fears they cautiously proceeded to
the spot whence the hideous eaund issued
and there behed the strange spectacle of
two immense armies of bullfrogs, cover
ing many acres of ground, engaged in a
fierce and deadly battle. This battle
continued more than twenty-four hours
and when IL was over the ground was
literally covered with the slain, and it
became necessary to avoid the noxious
eflluyia, to gather and bury them. ]
have related this as ii was given to me
five years ago by a gentleman who then
resided at Highgate Springs, and whose
name can be published if desired. It is
no wonder that the officers Of the old
Windham county bank should have
deemed such an occasion worthy Of com
memoration.

MENTAL ALIENATION.

A very touching case of mental alien
alton in charming young lady is de-
scribed by a careful observer Not long
ago her mother found her In her room
energetically darning stockings, and soon
after she appeared in the kitchen aud as
sisted that wondering dame IN making
and baking bread aud pastry. Alarmed
by these fearful signs of intellectual dis.
order, her fond parents Immediately sent
for skillful physician, who watched her
through key hole while she sewed but
tons on her fathers garments, and mend
ed thogeo her little brother. Much af-
fected, the venerable man remarked that
never during Il medical practice Of TWEEN
ty.fye years had he known any young
person to manifest such symptoms AZ
these. The most heart-rcnding phase of
all, however, was shown the other day,
when her kind father, with faint hope
of rousing her from her sad state, gave
her $500 and told her 10 buy new dress.
Alas twas useless, She instantly OBJ
served that she didn't want u new dress,
and if he would let her keep go to pay a
poor widows rent, she'd much rather ho
would take the rest Of the money for
himself For few moments that grief
stricken old gentleman gazcd upon bis
hapess child, then hiding his face, nut
tering between his sobs: Her mind IA
gone Her mind il gone!

"uAIL COLUMBIA

In the Recoilections Of Washington,
recently published, occurs the following
auecdotc:
The song Of Hail Columbia, adapted in
measure Of the Presidents March, was
written by Joseph Hopkinson of Phila-
delphia, in 1898. At that time war with
France was expected, and a patriotic
feeling peryadcd the community. MIR.
Fox, Il young singer aud actor, called
upon Hopkinson one morning aud said
Tomorrow evening Is the time appOinl-
ed for my benefit at the theatre. Not Il
single box is taken, and fear there viii
be thin house. II you will write me
some patriotic verses to the tune Of the
Presidents March, feel sure Of full
house. Several about the theatre have
attempted it, but they have come to the
conclusion that it can moi be done; yet
think you may succeed. Mr.. liOpkinson
retired 10 his study, wrote the first verse
and chorus and submitted them TO Mr..
Fox, who sang them 10 barpsich0rd ac-
compartment. The tune and the words
harmonizod The song was soon finished,
and that evening the young actor re-
cciyed IL. The next morning the placards
announced that Mr. Fox would give q
new patriotic song. The house was
erowded-tbe song was sung-lhc audi
deuce was delighted. Eight times IL was
called for and repeated. When sung the
ninth time the whole audience stood up
and i0incd IN the chorus. Night after
night Hail Columbia was appiauded in
The theatre, and io few days was the
universal song Of the boys in tie streets.
Such wac the origin Of our national song,

cling to Those Who Cling to You.

There are many friends of summer
Who are kino while flowers bloom,
But when winter chills the blossoms
They depart with the perfume.
On the broad highway of action
Friends of worth are far and few;
So when one has proved his friendship,
Cling to him who clings to you.
Do not harshly judge your neighbor-
Do not deem his life untrue
If he makes no great pretensionS-
Deeds are great though words are few.
Those who stand amidst the tempest,
Firm as when the skies are blue,
Win be friends while life endureth-
Cling to those who cling to you.
When you see a worthy brother
Butfeting the stormy main,
Lend helping hand fraternal,
Till he reach the shore again.
Don't desert the old and tried friend,
When misfortune comes to view,
For he needs true friendships comforts
Cling to those who cling to you.

LITTLE BROWN HANDS.

They drive home the COWS from the pasture,
Up through the long, shady lane
Where the quail whistles loud in the wheat
fields
That are red with the ripening grain.
They find in the thick, waving grasses,
Where the scarlet-lipped strawberry
grows
They gather the delicate snow-drops,
And the first crimson buds of the rose.
They toss the new hay in the meadow,
They gather the elder bloom white
They find where the dusky grapes purple
In the sOft-tinted October light.
They know where the apples hang ripest,
And are sweeter than Italy wines
They know where the fruit hangs the
thickest
On the long, thorny blackberry vines.
They gather the delicate sea-weeds,
And build tiny castles of sand
They pick up the beautiful sea-shells,-
Fairy barls that have drifted to land
They wave from the tall, rocking tops
Where the orioles hammock nest swings,
And at nighttime are folded in a Slumber
By song that fond mother sings.
Those who toll bravely are strongest;
The humble and poor become great
And from these brown-handed children
Shall grow mighty rulers of State.
The pen of the author and statesman,-
The noble and wise of the land,-
The loving and motherly woman,
Who'll wisely mold all with her hand

ABOUT NEWSPAPER REPORTERS.

From a long article in Ball0u'S
Monthly for September, written by
m. Quad, " of the Detroit Free Press,
we extract the following:
''I ears ago, when we had no tele-
graph or railroad, news was news any
time within a week or a month after
it's foundation occurred. Everything
is exactly opposite now, and every
body cries out for the latest news.
The people must have it, and as they
can only get it from the daily journals,
the daily journals must furnish it or
go down. Energy is the watch
word of every good reporter. He
must travel his own round, take that
of brother reporter on the same
paper, if necessary, and yet hold him
self ready for a dash into the suburbs
if big thing occurs. Take two re-
pOrters just alike in everything else,
and the more energetic one will secure
the most news. He will take less
sleep, spend less time on the corners,
and will have more time left after
midnight to look for the very Iuteat.'
| said that every reporter must be
somewhat of lawyer. So he should,
and for more reasons than one. He
will secure many an item which must
be delicately handled or left out alto
gether, because it would hurt national
pride, some sect's religious views, or
conflict with the policy of the paper.
Nine times out of ten he must use his
own judgment in such cases, and he
will need lawyers reasoning powers.
Then again he is often made the vic>
tim of sells 1t is easy enough for
some jeaIous-minded reporter on a
contemporary journal to put up a job
on him. and reason, experience and
guess-work are called out in defence.
| 1t is not sufficient to take their word
, for it , one must know from actual
| observation, or get his information
| from sources which experience has
proven trustworthy. Il wonder how
they pick up so many things is an
| expression often used by the readers
| of a daily paper. There are times
when the so much is so little with
! the reporter, even if the constant read
er does not detect the falling off, there
/ are times in his experience when muir
! ders, burglaries, elOpements, fires and
railroad accidents will all come with a
rush, and then there will be a dead
calm for days or weeks. In such
emergencies the energetic son of the
pencil will devote his time to city i'm
provements,' made or contemplated,
or startle his readers with an account
of some new invention, or something
new in the method of propelling steam,
| boats or hOrse~cars. As to how they
get their news depends upon the man
In cities the police are great collec-
tors ofnews Accidents and incidents
fall in their way very naturally, and
little goes on but what they catch i'll
some form or other. The station
house and police courts are included
in the round which the general news
reporter makes, or are divided uE
among two. If a reporter works in
with the police he has fund of infor
