q child" The value OF the ideas that
enter into human life is chiefly to be
learned by watching their evolution and
| workings in that great workshop called
yesterday. Take the idea of the liber-
| ty, and no dreamer who looks into the
future can behold its length and
breadth, but he alone can measure the
import of the term who hears the cry
of the slave from the days of the Ro-
mans down to the career of our own
land, and who sees the prosperity OF
freedom from Athens to Florence, and
from Florence to England and America.
Take the idea of home, and If you
would feel the import of the word, look
not forward into poetic haze, but back
into human experience, in tho tears OF
sadness and JOY that have fallen by the
feet of any exile going away or coming
back or look into your own childhood
and consult its memories and then the
term unveils itself with no light or
shadow left out. Beyond the unfold
ing of truths, yesterday possesses an
other power, that of softening and mod
ulating the mind and heart Egotism
draws its vanity from Il perfect forget
fulness of yesterday. Selfconscious-
ness and coming greatness erase all else
from the mind and the egotist stands
great in his possibilities. He is just
about to conquer world or greatly sur
prise one. And deep study of his own
or the worlds yesterday would drain
his heart of the last drop of personal
vanity, for there was an arena and he
did not conquer or astonish a world,
and there all those who were more
highly endowed are sleeping in forgot
ten dust. If the pasta. a.uttersG anything
that is of value it is that all self-wor-
ship and gloritlcation are the weakest
shape human nature can assume, and
that there is nothing worth living for
except the general mental and moral
progress of self and of mankind. The
great graves are those which cover the
dust of hearts that did some work that
entered after them into the public well
fare and happiness. .-Dacid ,Swing.

CHRIST NOT RISEN.
by ARTHUR HUGH cLouGH.

Eat, drink, and play, and think that this Ia bliss
There Is no heaven but this
There il no hell
Save earth, which serves the purpose douby
well,
Seeing II visits STILL
With equalest apportionment Of i'll,
Both good and bad alike, and brings to one same
dust,
The unjust and the just,
With Christ, who il not risen
Eat, drink, and die, for We are souls bereayed
OF all the creatures under heavens wide cope,
We eare most hopeless who had once most hope,
And most beliehess that had most believed
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust;
As Of the unjust, also the just;
II il the one sad gospel that is true,

The ASCENDING AND DESCENDING Az
FICTION. -Warm-hearted parents must
not forget that the ascending is less than
the descending love. The wide world
with its novelties, and the boundless,
mysterious futurity, exert an unspent
influence over the minds of young per-
sons, and cannot but divert little their
affections from their parents, however
fondly and sincerely they may be loved.
Whereas, with those who have reached
the middle stage of life, the glitter Of
the world has been seen through, and
its promise has been brought to the
proof, and has so far failed in the per-
formance that the mind has turned to-
ward the circle of domestic affections as
a solace. But no such disabusing of the
imagination by experience has had place
with children and parents must re-
member that, while their own hopes and
affections are converging more and more
upon focus, those of their children are
radiating through infinite space.-Isdac
Taylor.

AN ANEoDoTE OF LORD NELSON.
remember having read somewhere an
anecdote of the hero of Trafalgar,
which, think, is good illustration of
the difference between the naval GUS
toms of his day and the present. On
one occasion, when engaged in an ex-
citing stern chase OF some Frenchman,
he roared out to his quartermaster, who
had the helm, "Thice!" (put the helm
hard up.) "Thice it is, my lord" said
he. "No, it isn't" said Nelson; 'no-
thing of the sort" "Yes it is, my
lord" "Then, 1 suppose l lie," said
Nelson. Eyes, you do, my lord" said
the matter-of-fact-man. Now, if it were
possible that such thing should happer
to post-captain of the present day, hi
would have had the quartermaster IL
irons at once. Not so Nelson. He he'll
on until he caught up with the French
man, when he gave him, as he alway
did every enemy, the most tremendou
beating the mind of man can conceive
| and in the excitement of victory forge
all about the quartermaster. Once

lowing "We are glad to learn that

cree declaring that if the chief officer
of his household handles dishes so care
lessly as to break them, he shall be
killed. We say we are glad of this,
because we hope to have the same regu-
lation put into effect in this country.
II it is, about two thousand hired girls
will be executed every week, and we
may reasonably hope that the destruc-
ton of crockery will be checked. We
have stopped it temporarily in our house
by having tea-set made of wrought
iron and painted white, When a new
hired girl comes she drops the coffee
pot upon the floor. Finding, with
amazement, that it does not break, she
thumps it with a flat-iron, and drops
bricks on it, and goes out and borrows
sledge hammer and whacks it and
then, perceiving that it is as good as
ever. she sits down in front Of that
coffee-pot and bursts into tears. Then
she gives warning, loads up with sugar,
beef, and butter, for her sick aunt, en-
bezzles three or four hem-stitched
handkerchiefs, and any old pillow cases
that are lying around, and starts for the
nearest intelligence office. We wouldn't
take million dollars for that tea-set." !"

The Change in the Management
Of the Central Vermont
Railroad.

Our telegraph columns on Saturday had
the announcement of the change in the
General Superintendency of the Central
Vermont Railroad whereby Mr. John w.
Hobart the former General Freight Agent
of that road becomes its General Superin-
tcndent on the retirement of Mr.. Gylcs
Merrill.
The change thus made is an important
one. The office of General Superintendent
is one of the highest and most laborious of
any position on the road. To this position
Mr.. Merrill has devoted fourteen years of
labor in FITS requirements, and has finally
been allowed to retire on account of i'm
paired health. He came on to the Yer
mont Central in March 1859 from the Sui
Ivan Road and has ever since been largely
identified with the road as its superintcn-
dent. His personal supervision has ever
been required and always given to the
many minor details Of the operation of the
enterprise and it is saying but little when
it is declared that they have been well and
faithfully performed. His steadfastncss in
labor has only been cxcellcd by his honesty
of purpose and action in everything that he
has accomplished and it is a great loss to
any institution to lose man, SO
capable and conscientious as Gyles Merrill
has ever been.
Mr.. John w. Hobart, who succeeds Mr..
Merrill, is well and widely known as the
Master of Transportation and General
Freight Agent of the Vermont Central dur.

When ancient newspapers, like ancient
families, in the course of events, cease to
he first, and thereby their dignity, circula-
ton and Importance is impaired, they are
apt to betray spirit of petty jealousy, and
treat with mis-statement those who, in the
same course of events, are elevated far
above them. 1t is only in this principle
that we can reconcile the course of our
touchy neighbor in reference to the Pittsford
celebration. Their statement is tissue of
falsehoods from the beginning to the end.
We are bound to believe that they had re-
porter there, not, however, from their say so,

He was originally wing, was in the lcgis-
loturc some sixteen years, was elected
governor on the republican ticket in 1869,
and two years after was sent TO the United
States Senate. His honesty, integrity,
loyalty and ability have, VIC believe, never
been questioned, and he stands, to-day,
representative man in Mississippi. All OF
his official positions have been obtaineo
without intrigue or corruption, and he is
one of the few of the old leaders at the
south, who have heartily and honestly nc
cepted the situation, acted consistently with
his convictions, and he is respected and
honored accordingly.
Adelbert Ames is man Of altogether
another stamp. He seems, in obtaining the
nomination, to have employed the tactics
of his father-in-law, las some of his whildom
supporters, already, accuse him of selling
them out. His principle seems to have
been ''you tickle me and I'll tickle you,
but having received the first "ticklc" he
neglected to ''ticklc" back. lie may prop
erly be dcnominated "carpct Dagger.
He was born in Maine, graduated at West
Point, entered the army, and at the close
of the war was appointed military or pro-
sional governor Of Mississippi, and was,
soon after, placed in command of the
fourth military district, known ms the "Dc-
partment of the Mississippi" This latter
appointment bears date the 18th day of
March, 1869. while the state was under
going reconstruction. Taking advantage
of his position, he procured himself to be
elected to the United States Senate, taking
his seat, as such, March IS, 1870, his term
expiring with the close of the present Con-
gross. The Legislature to he chosen at the
coming election will elect his successor to
the Senate. He has no desire or ambition
TO bc governor, but is determined that
Adclbcrt Amcs shall he succeeded in the
United States Senate by Adelbcrt Amcs.
Hence the intrignes, the bargaining, the
cheating, aud the selling out. The pipes
must bc vel laid for this purpose, and
nominations made in reference to the line
OF promotion. II the bargain can he
carried out, the man elected lieutenant
governor will be, in effect, elected GOV.
crnor, and, under their peculiar laws,
other men will come along up. II the
wires can be properly manipulated all
along down the line, there may he some
hope for Amcs, but he seems to have made
some fatal mistakes already The Massa.
chusetts general has given him the courses
and distances, but he has not been long
enough in politics yet to fully cover his
tracks. He will live and learn, but We
trust, in the meanwhile, he will be retired
to private life.
