THE STATE LIBRARV'-We give in another
place the doings of the Trustees of the State
Library, at their meeting Monday evening.
The selection of Hon. Charles H. Heath ESQ,
as resident trustee, is an eminently appro-
pirate one. He is gentleman of fine litera-
ry culture, as conversant with general as
with legal literature, and thoroughly devoted
to the development, intellectually as we'll as
materially, of the people of Vermont.
The election of HIRAM A. HUsE, Esq, for
Librarian was fitting and graceful recog-
milton of modest and intrinsic worth. Mr.,
Huse has been for some years the assistant
of Mr.. Reed, enjoying his full confidence,
and carrying into practical execution his
plans and purposes relative to the library
No man in the State better understands the
routine of the Librarians duties, and few if
any are better qualified to perform them.

Maggie's Fault.

| have little girl whose great fault is
forgetting. She forgets to hang up her
dresses; she forgets to put buttons on her
shoes; she forgets where she left her nit
tens, or the hammer, or her thimble; she
fOrgets to do her errands; she fOrgets
to come home when she is told to- Yet
she always seems sorry when [ talk to her,
and means, think, to improves; but she
does not. Every week, if it finds her no
worse, does not find her better. I often
wonder how it happens. In other re-
spects Maggie is a good child. She is
neither fretful nor ill-tempered She is
al industrious little girl, and speaks the
truth. But all these fine qualities are al
most spoiled by forgetfulness. 1t leads to
much disorder, as you may suppose I
should not like you to see her room; and
cannot depend, of course, that what |
tell her will be done. I could not for a
long time think how she could forget so
| have found out now; the Bible told me.
God says in it, "My son, forget not nv
law; but let thine heart keep my com
mandments." Whatever is done from the
heart, is done quickly and done we'll.
Poor Maggie, alas has no heart in it,
therefore she forgets and disobeys. And
many mother is grieving over this same
fault in her dear child; and perhaps many
a poor child is grieving for it too "How
shall [ remember what mother SAYS 90
"How came to forget ?"-feeling ashamed,
and sorry, and mortified as can be. MY
dear child, | can only tell you to fall
down on your knees before God, and beg
Him to give you that "new heart .
which the Bible tells of, filed with the
spirit OF humble, faithful love- That will
remember; that will try hard and will as
suredly succeed, you may depend upon it

A GENERAL Misrepresentation seems to
exist in regard to the new coin which was
provided for by Congress at its last SEES
sion, to be known as the "trade dollar"
The fact is that the sole object OF the act
is to facilitate commerce between this
country and China and Japan, by allow
ing silver to be made into these dollars in
the United States, instead of as heretofore
having to send the bullion to London for
coinage This new dollar will be used
exclusively in trade with the Celestials,
and will not enter into general circulation
in this country, and viii only be coined
as demanded for use.

planting had been done, and every
farmer was busy. But so deeply in
earnest were the farmers in tho
movement, that they almost com
handed their representatives to at
tend the convention. MANY of them
told us that the members of their
oranges told them to go to the con-
Ventlon-that they would attend to
planting their corn. Over two hum
area oranges were represented, and
We Judge they represented some fifty
or sixty counties.
When it is taken into consideration
that nearly all the work of this Or
s~anization has been accomplished In
the last three months, we can have
some idea of the intensity of the
feelings of those who are enlisted in
IT. Eut the work has hardly begun in

Advantages OF Being n Patron.

w. Z. Simmons, of Charleston, South
Carolina, at the conclusion of an article,
How | becamea Patron, in summing up
his conclusions, says:
Besides teaching the farmer how to
practice agriculture after the most improv-
cd method, they, likewise, protect him
in the act. They arc ever on the watch
to detect and warn him of impositions,
to prevent his intrus,ing his produce to
fraudulent agents, and bring about a re-
duction of high frcights for his benefit.
They enable him to purchase his supplies
cheaper, and his tools AID machinery at
from ten to twenty-five per cent. less
than he can by any other means. They
prevent cruelty to animals, nurse.the sick,
assist the poor, instruct the youth, es-
tablish libraries and reading rooms, and
aim at eleva,ing all classes, both socially
and morally. And lwhilc agriculturcal
societies in general, possess no common
bond of union, each being wholly indie
pendent of the other, the oranges are but
SO many ''parts of one stupendous
WHOLE" which whole is a body firmly
united in substance ard intent, guided
~ one head, striving for the achievement
OF one end, namely, the general good of
the ~agriculturiss at. large. And this is
