WHAT BOYS Know ABOUT GIRLS
And now cometh writer-he didn't say
his article was a composition, who tells
us considerable truth and gives his un-
biased opinion as to what boys think
about girls. We are inclined to think
what boys don't know isn't worth know
ing but to the article in question. Our
author says that girls are the most un-
accountablest things in the world-ex-
cept women Like the wicked flea,
when you have them they amt there.
l can cipher clean over to improper frac-
tions, and the teacher says | do it first
rate; but l can't cipher out a girl, prop
er or improper, and you can't either.
The only rule in arithmetic that hits
this case is the double rule of two.
They are as full of the old Nick astheir
skins can hold, and they would die if
they couldn't torment somebody. When
they try to be mean they are as mean as
pusley, though they amt as mean as
they let on except Sometimes, and then
they are good deal meaner. The only
way to get along with girl when she
comes at you with her nonsense, is to
give it to her tit for tat, and that will
fummux her. and when you get a girl
fummuxed She isgasl hiee as ANEW pin
A girl can SOW. more wild oats in day
than a boy can sow in year, but girls
get their wild oats sowed in while,
while boys never do, and then they set
tie down as placid as mudpuddle.
But like girls frst-rate, and | guess
the boys all do. don't care how man,
tricks they play on mc-and they don
either. The hoitytoityist girls can't bon
over like glass of soda. By-and-b b,
they will go into the traces, with some
body they like. and pull as steady a
E any old stage-horse. That is the beaut
' of them. So let them wave, | say the
e will pay for il someVday, sewing on bu
tons and trying TO make decent ma
of the fellow they have spliced on t
and ten chances to one they don't get tt
worst of it.

ON RECEIVING AN EAGLES QUILL
FROM LAKE SUPERIOR.
BY JOHN G. WHITTIER.

All day the darkness and the cold
Upon my heart have lain,
Like shadows on the winter sky,
Like frost upon the pane;
But now my torpid fancy wakes.
And on thy Eagles plume,
Rides forth, like Sinbad on his bird,
Or witch upon her brooml
Below me roar the rocking pines,
Before me spreads the lake,
Whose long and solemn sounding waves
Against the sunset break.
| hear the wild Rice-Eater thresh
The grain he has not sown;
see, with flashing scythe- of fire. - -
The prairie harvest mown aL-'.ta ~
1 hear TIE Efar.off 'voyagers horn;
see the Yankees trail .
His foot on every mountain-pass, T.
On every stream his sail,
By forest, lake and waterfall
see his peddler show;
The mighty mingling with the mean,
The lofty with the low.
He's whiting by St. Mary's Falls,
Upon his loaded vain;
He's measuring DER the Pictured Rocks,
With eager eyes of gain.
l hear the mattock in the mine,
The ax-stroke in the dell,
The clamor from the Indian lodge,
The Jesuit chapel bell
l see the swarthy trappers come
From Mississippi's springs;
And war-chiefs with their painted brows
And crests of eagle wings.
Behind the scared squaw's birch canoe,
The steamer smokes and raves 4 4
And city lots are staked for sale
Above old Indian graves.
hear the tread of pioneers
Of nations yet to be;
! The first low wash of waves, where soon
Shall roll human sea
The rudiments of empire here
Are plastic yet and warm;
The chaos of "a mighty world
Is rounding into form!qsii' st
Each rude and jostling fragment soon
Its fitting place shall find
The raw material for a State,
It's muscle and its mind
And westering still, the star that leads
Tho Naw World In itc train
Has tipped with fire the icy spears
Of many mountain chain.
The snowy cones of Oregon t
Are kindling on its way; & g-hE
And California $. golden. sands
Clean brighter in its ray
Then, blessings on thy eagles quill,
AS wandering far and wide,
l thank thee for this twilight dream
And Fancy's airy ride
Yet, welcomer than regal plumes,
Which Western trappers fnd
Thy free and pleasant thoughts; chance
.sownI - u .ttstft 91E':
Like feathers on the wind.
Thy symbol be the mountain bird,
Whose glistening quill I hold;
Thy home the ample air of hope,
And memory's sunset gold!
In thee, let joy with duty join,
And strength unite with love, -,
The eagles pinions folding round >
The warm heart of the dove
So, when in darkness sleeps the vale
r Where still the blind bird clings,
The sunshine of the upper sky
Shall glitter on thy wings

SYMPATHY.-There is every reason to
believe that Foster, the car-hook MUIR
derer, will escape the penalty of his
crime. Mr.. Hamilton Fish, DIR. Tying,
Governor Dix's son and daughter-in-law
have all besieged the Governor and per-
secuted him with the most unhinching
perseverance with prayers for the COM
mutation of the criminals sentence
Even the wife of the murdered man has
added her entreaties. to which may be
added those of the ten surviving jury
| men who tried him. This is all we'll
enough in its way, and reflects credit up
on the sympathizing hearts of the petit
tioners, but it is to be hoped that the
Governor will remain firm. The MUIR
der was both unproyoked and brutal
There are scores of Fosters in New York
who are ready to laugh the law to scOrn,
and who need an example to teach them
that they cannot do so with impunlty.
There was not word of entreaty for the
poor wretch Reynolds who committed
murder by no means as cruel as that for
which Foster lies under sentence of
DEATH He was hanged. however, with
in few weeks of the perpetration of
his crime, his death having been has
tened by the utterance of the unhappy,
but now proverbial saying: Hanging
is played out in New York" New York
cannot afford to indorse that statement
after having hung him to prove it untrue.

Our Country's Future.

Bishop Simpson gave lecture at Bur-
lington on this subject last week and the
following is the Free Press report Of it
"What shall be the future Of our coun-
try2" is question Of importance to
every patriotic mind in view Of the re-
cent past of our own land, aud the won
derful developments in foreign lands.
Connected with the main question are
two others first, is it wise to attempt
to know this future? Second, is it posi-
BILE to know it? We are all conscious
of an anxiety which We have in regard
to future events. We consider it proper
to forecast in the case of the individual !;
why not in the case of the nation 1t is
not possible to determine it with mathe-
matical certainty, as in an eclipse or the
movements Of the tides. But there are
certain laws and elements of comparison
that enable us to make conjectures APP
proxilnating accuracy. Nations are con-
stituted like family, with the evident
purpose of effecting similar objects on a
grand scale And the nation that does

The tenth annual session of the Grand
Lodge Of Vermont Good Templars com.
menced at Burlington, Tuesday morn
ing. About two hundred delegates were
in attendance, John b. Mead, Worthy
Chief Templar presiding. Committees
were appointed on credentials, on nom
ination Of officers, and to report a suit

Rev j Gill, the Grand Worthy Chief
Templar Of the Grand Lodge of Massa-
CHI sets, then delivered an address, in
which be gave an interesting account Of
the work in Massachusetts and other
States. In the afternoon, the Grand Wor-
thy Chief Templar presented his report,
after which, the report OF the Grand
Secretary was read b which it appears
there has been a decrease in the member
ship during the past year, but express
ing strong ground Of hope for the future
This was followed by the report of the
Treasurer which showed the amount re-
ceived during the year, including the bal
auce from former years, to be S2,O25.52 !;
the amount of expenditures for the year,
S2,l57, 80; leaving a balance in the
treasury of SS6S % out Of which, after
paying the expenses Of the present ses-
sion, it was estimated there would be left
in the treasury not far from $4,000, a
sum fully equal to that remaining in the
treasury at the close ofany former annual
session.
Wednesday, at the session Of the Grand
Lodge of Good Templars, the following

its work best combining and utizog the
materials ut its Command, securing the
largest advancement to its members aud
the greatest liberty is the Que deserving
OF perretuity. The light OF past history
also aids us ia making our estimate. The
ancient nations aud the European nations
Of to-day are small as compared with
ours. And as we can Judge OF the prob
able size of II building by the size and
quantity Of material to enter into its
construction, SO we can judge Of the ma
tons opportunity Tor greatness by the
materials that 60 into its makeup. Thus
we are far more tavorably circumstanced
for u great history than were Egypt,
Ph0ucia, Greece aud Rome, or are Great
Britain and the European nations now.
A material illustration Of our chances
for being in future the seat of power, is
the fact that we are included in that
great DELI of te ritory where has ever
been located the centre OF power and adj
vanc ament. 1t is an observable fact that
no great government has ever existed
south Of twenty-five degrees north ati-
tude From that line to fifty degrees
north latitude has contained all the great
governments the world has ever seen, and
with this territory we are coincidcnt.
In area, we have enough to give every
family on the globe farm, and there is
no danger from extension of our territory,
because, unlike the kingdoms of the old
world and the republics Of ancient times,
we have no centralized government con-
trolling all, but the institutions. from the
schooldistrict up to the national, peculiar
to US, would act as counteracting forces
to those threatening US from too great ex-
tent of country.
There was something peculiarly FORUM
ate in the choice of u dominant people
for this country-thc Apglo-Saxon-.whose
hardy manhood and stern virtues made
us the people we are and gave US the
ideas and customs we inherit. The IA
ton was founded by their independence
in thought and action. now indellbly
stamped upon our whole national being,
giving bright promise for our own flu
ture, and teaching by brilliant example
the conservative forces OF the old world.
One Of their grandest works was the sep
aration OF church from state.
The speaker then sketched our agricul-
tural and mineral resources and examined
the country as to our facilities for be-
coming a manufacturing nation, and dem
onstrated the fact that we could surpass
all that had yet been done on both con-
tinents. We have metals Of various
kinds, in immense quantities with coal
aud power unlimited, and infinite capaci.
ties of skill. 1t only needs the combina-
ton of these elements to set thousands of
wheels revolving, aud to make the indus
trial future Of our country IA secure one.
Our moral and intellectual advance
ment we're pleasantly pictured, and with
the ballot in the hand Of woman the lee
turer had no fear foi their further prog
rcss. He scathingly rebuked political
grumbers, who were ever ranting on pol
tics in preaching, and enforced his re-
marks with many witty hits. With a
brilliant rhapsody to the nations flag,
and an eloquently worded prediction Of
what would be the future Of our coun-
try" the speaker closed.
