Tbe rIaIor,s new EFOuse.

any arrangements for heating the new
building?" and the agent looked anxious.
ssWell, no, muttered the Major, with q
stare, as If the heating of the building
was an idea that had entirely slipped his
mind. $50 much the better for you,
explained the agent ''as | think have
just the article you want-combining
economy, heat and cleanliness. We
have sold thousands of them throughout
the country, and have yet TO hear of

Major consented, and getting his over
coat he mounted the seat with the hope
full and eloquent agent, and they drove
off. On the way the agent rapidly went
over the many favorable points of the
admirable heater, and was much gratified
at the impression he had evidently made
on his companion. Arriving in front OF
the new building, large and rather IN
pretentious structure, the agent said
"What are you going to do with this,
Major? Make a tenement or boarding
house of it p ''0h, no, said the Major.

looked innocently around ''it is an ice

Absent-nindedness.

The most absent-minded man we ever
knew was our friend Gen. Mumm-
He lost one of his legs IN the war, and
he always wore patent artificial leg,
fall of springs and joints. Sometimes
when he started out in the morning he
would get his leg on hind part foremost.
and then go straddling down the street
with one set of toes pointing east and
the other set pointing west. His right
knee would point another way and the
old man would bob up and down liks a
jumping jack worked with a string.
Presently he would meet us and come
jolting up to say that he wished We
would pitch into the highway depart
ment for leaving the pavement in such
a rascally condition that man couldn't
walk straight. Previous TO the war,
while he was down at Cape May, one
summer, he took buff bath early in
the morning, and while in the water he
got to meditating on some abstruse sub
feet, and forgetting himself, he came
walking up the beach, and up the street
to the hotel, dressed in nothing but q
sad, sweet smile, Just as the people were
coming down to breakfast. Only short
time ago he hitched his horse to a bug
gy, with the nose of the animal pushed
close up against the dasher, and started
off backwards without noticing the di-
rection. At the end of the first half
mile the vehicle jammed up against "A
tree, and the general shot out over the
horses tail. If he don't get out of his
coffin at his own funeral and insist on
going as pall-bearer, it viii be remark

THE yIRGTNIUS,
D,taiis of The Surrender of the
Vessel i-.- simple, Quiet Eere-
moRy.

New Y0RK, Dec. l.. .
A dispatch 10 The Tribune from Key
West gives the particulars Of the sur
render Of the Virginius. After stating
that the steamer Dispatch had been de
tailed for the duty, and that Captain
Whiting, executive officer of the flag
ship Worcester, had been detailed to re-
ceive her, the correspondent who was
on hoard says: ..-s-.
At about 10 O'Clock on Sunday even
ing the Despatch quietly weighed an
chor, and, vending her tortuous. way
between the vessels in the harbor, was
soon rounding Sand Key light. and head
ing for the Cuban coast. Not desiring
to reach her destination before noon on
Monday, the engines were slackened for
several hours, during which time the
average speed was not more than five
knots an hour. The next morning about
ten the blue hills of the distant Cuban
coast appeared above the horizon, and
the bow was directed toward Bahia
Honda At 1880 the coast mountain
upon which staRds an old yellow fort,
called Nurralo, commanding the en-
trance TO the harbor, was clearly in
view. Speed was then again slackeaed,
and the vessel cautiously crept along to-
ward the narrow but clearly marked
channel which leads to the smooth water
where the Virginius was supposed to be
lying. AS soon as the Despatch was
sighted from the shore, the Spanish flag
bearing the crown, notwithstanding the
republican edict aboIishing that mon
archical emblem, was flung to the
breeze. We discovered black side
wheel steamship with two smokestacks
living about a mile beyond the fort and
in perfectly smooth water. No other
craft, except two or three coasting
schooners, were then visible, and it was
not until we were about to come to an
chor that we discovered Spanish sloop-
of-war lying close under the shore about
two miles and a half away The Des-
patch proceeded slowly and steadily
along, declining the proffered assistance
of two pilots, and at half-past one an
chored in seven and half fathoms of
water and about 400 yards from the Vir-
| ginius. Almost Immediately afterward
a boat from the Spanish frigate came
alongside the Virginius, and at quarter
of two o'clock the sters and stripes were
raised by Spanish hands and again float
ed over the vessel which carried Ryan,
Verona, Fry, and their unfortunate
comrades to their death. The beat was
then called away, and at the same mo-
ment we saw, by the aid of glasses, an
other boat let down from the Spanish
vessel, which proved to be the captain 8
! gig. 1t brought TO the Despatch hand
some young naval officer, in full uni
form. He was courteously met at the
gangway by Captain Rodgers. He intro
duced himself as Senior De la Camora,
commanding the sloop-of-war Favorita.
He was invited into the cabin, but being
informed.by Captain Rodgers that Cap

University garden. CThese German
people make gardens about every build

81 know you would hardly think IT.,
but she is one truly. She came here a
long time ago-three or four years ago.
| She began to study. She was very poor
and had hard time to get bread enough

somehow she managed 1t and studied
with mans energy.

much as let anybody guess that she was

A woman's Answer TO a Mans
Question.

Do you know you have asked for the cost
liest thing
Ever made by the hand above?
A woman's heart and woman's life.
And a woman's wondrous lore!
Do you know you have asked for this
priceless thing
As a child might ask for toy?
Demanding what others have died to win,
With the reckless dash of a boy?
You have written my lesson Of duty out,
Man-like you have questioned me,
Now stand at the bar of woman's soul,
Until shall question thee.
You require your mutton shall always be
hot,
Your stockings and shirts be whole;
require your heart to be true as Gods
stars,
And pure as heaven your soul.
You require a cook for your mntton and
beef,
require far greater thing;
a seamstress you're wanting for socks and
for shirts,
A look for a man and a king
king for the beautiful realm called
Home,
And man that the Maker God,
Shall look upon as he did on the first.
And say, ''It is very good"
1 am fair and Young, but the rose win
fade
From my soft young cheek one day
VIII you love me then mid the falling
leaves,
AS you did 'mong the blooms of May?
Is your heart an ocean so strong and
deep,
I may launch my all on its tide?
A loving woman finds Heaven or Hell
On the day she Is made bride.
I require all things that are good and
true,
All things that man should be;
II you give this all, would stake nay life
To be al you demand of me.
II you cannot be this-a laundre-s and
cook
You can hire, and little to pay; ...
But a woman's heart and woman's life
Are not to be won that way.

When supplied with provisions and
coal the Virginius will probably be sent
to northern port. Washington and
Norfolk are mentioned among the prize
officers, much to the disappointment of
some of some of the officers. The Fed
eral courts are now anxiously looking
out for her arrival. She will not enter
the harbor of Key West at all, express
orders to that effect having been received
from Washington. The surrender was
a somewhat tame affair, although con-
Quoted with proper dignity by the Of
ficers, whose duty it was to carry out
the provisions of the protocol. 1t is be-
lieved that the owners of the Virginius
will not claim the vessel, and the officers
of the navy who were present at the
surrender are indulging in the pleasant
hope that inasmuch as prize crew was
put on board the vessel there will be
some prize money to divide.

walk in the light take lively interest
in the subject of missions. The Apostles
commissioned and sent forth by our
Lord were missionaries. Christianity
was established by missionaries, and the
church was and is extended by the same
means. There is the most encourage
ment now that there ever has been for
missionary effort, the fields are ripe for
the harvest. There is nearly two-thirds
of the world to be yet furnished with
the gospel. We are not all called to be
missionaries, but we all can pray and
contribute to send them. God has called
on our church to furnish the means and
what we do we must do quickly and
with all our might.
After the singing of another hymn
REV. HENRY GRAHAM,
of Burlington, gave an address on the
office of prayer in Christian work. Be
sides praying for laborers already in the
field, we should pray for possible labor
ers. We pray, but don't believe that
God will allow the salvation of men to
depend on our prayers, but our prayers
may determine the future of many labor
ers We have many men, but there are
more needed and our prayers may be
the means of sending them. Our pray
ers can move the arm that moves the
world and thrust out laborers. God is
sending many in answer to prayer and
when we understand that our prayers
means souls, we will pray more.
After singing the hymn beginning
Behold, the heather waits to know
The JOY the Gospel will beSto";
the
REV. W. II. HEEKRR,
of Middlebury, delivered an address on
q few sources of inspiration for mis-
sionary work He considered the Bap-
tism of the Holy Ghost and a saving
knowledge of Christ as necessary for
missionary work. The germ of the mis-
sionary spirit is to be generated and per-
petuated under the tuition of Christ and
the Christian spirit He thought the
| cost was too much considered now. In
apostolic times the cost was never
thought of, but it was: "How can l
save soul ?" Let us wait for the out
pouring of the spirit and then go forth
conquering and to conquer.
After the singing of another hymn,
| BISHOP WILEY
addressed the congregation on the needs
of the missionary service, and very
forcibly and logical demonstrated to a
mathematical certainty that the only
want of the missionary service was
money, and that ffty-fve cents for
every member of the church was all
that was needed for next years mission
ary works, After the address, collec-
ton was taken up, and so forcible were
the points of the Bishop to his hearers
that S51. 80 was collected,
After the singing of Coronation" the
benediction was pronounced, and one OF
the best and most successful missionary
meetings ever held here was ended.
Among the Rutland people present
we noticed Ben K Chase, H. w. Nye,
| and J. B. Meeker.

The Two Homes.
4 SEQ roEM pr pArARp rArLoe.

NEW POEM BY BAYARD TAYLOR.
My home was seated high and fair,
Upon a mountains side;
The day was longest, brightest there
Beneath, the world was wide.
Across its blue, embracing zone
The rivers cleaned, the cities shone,
And over the edge of the fading rim
/ saw the storms in the distance dim,
And the flash of the soBndless tRunder.
But weary grew the sharp, Geld wine
OF winds that never kissed,
The changeless green of FIR and pine,
The grey and clinging mist.
Above the granite sprang no bowers:
The soil gave low and scentless flowers
And the drone and din Of the waterfall
Became challenge, taunting cali
. 'Iis fair, It's fair IN the valleYg"
or all the homesteads deep and far
My fancy clung to one,
Whose gable burned a mellow star.
Touched by the sinking sun.
Unseen around, but not nnguessea,
The orchards made a leafy nest;
The turf before it was thick, knew,
And bees were busy the garden through.
And the windows were dark with roses
"'Tis happier there, below 1 sighed;
1'1he world IS WARM and near,
And closer love and comfort hide,
That cannot reach me here.
Who master is must be so blest
He'll share with me his sheltered nest,
If down to the valley should go,
Leaving the granite, the pines and snow,
And the winds that are Keen as lances."

The way was rough and long;
Though earlier shadow round me fell,

The worlds great circle narrower grew.
