x Who Eat that Butter IA few days
since woman living within miles of this
borough, lost fine comb, and after long
search gave it up as gone. On Thursday
last she churned, and in taking the butter
out of the churn, the comb made its ap-
pearance, being found in the butter.
And what troubles that family now, is
to know whether the comb was in the
cream-crock, or in the churn. The mark
citing from that farm does not come to
Bloomfield, as that woman considers New
port better market.

How TO FIND OUT WHOM ANY PER
son WILL MARRY.-It don't require an
astrologer, medium, or 4 gipsey with n
dirty pack of cards.
1t is very simple-lies in 4 nutshell. and
can be expressed in few words.
They are these
The last person you would naturally
think Of
Ifa girl expresses her fondness for ma
jestic men With large whiskers, make up
your mind that she will rn~rry very
small man with none ---
If she declares that ''mind'' is all she
looks for, expect to see her stand before the
altar with a pretty fellow who has just
sense enough to tie a cravat bow.
If, on the contrary, she declares that she
must have handsome husband, look about
you for the piainest person in the circle of
her acquaintance, and declare that is the
man, for it will be.
Men are almost as bad
The gentleman who desires a wife with
q mind and mission, marries a lisping
baby who screams at the sight of n mouse,
and hides her face when she hears sud-
den knock at the door.
And the gentleman who dreaded any
thing like strong -mindedness, exults in the
fact that his wife is exactly everything he
had declared he had detested.
IF 4 Girl saws of one, Marry him I'd
rather die, - look upon the affair as settled,
and expect cards TO the wedding Of those
two people.
If man remarks of lady-''Not my
style at ALL" await patiently the appear
ance of his name in the matrimonial column
in connection with that very lady's.
And if any two people declare themselves
friends and nothing more" you may
know what will come next.
There is no hypocrisy in all this, and
such matches are invariably the happiest.
People do not know themselves, and
make great mistakes about their own in-
tentions.
Love is terrible perplexing when he first
begins To upset ones theories, and when
his arrow first pierccs the heart, there is
such a iuttering that il is hard to guess the
! cause.
/ Besides. man proposes and God disposes,
/ and it is the Il don't know WHAT with
! which people fall in love, and not these Pc
| culiarities which could be given in 4 pass

SECRETS OF PRINTING OFFICEs.-The
extension of education, which especially
marked the fifteenth century in Europe,
had made manuscripts very valuable, and
some of the earliest specimens of printing
were sold as manuscripts species OF eX-
ira remuneration which the printers were
justly entitled to reap, for short time, as
Il repayment for the special difficulties un-
der which they labored. The processes Of
wba, was long termed the art and mystery
Of printing were preserved as a secret by
Gutenberg, Faust and Schoeffer for few
years (their workmen being probably
sworn y but with no dishonorable inten-
ton, as may be inferred from the fact that
the publications of 1457 contained proud
and almost bOastful assertion, that they
were manufactured by mechanical means.
From time to time, certain distinguished
typographers have endeaVored to preserve
as secrets some special process which they
considered as giving them particulsr ad-
vantages ; thus, it is said that Baskerville
would not reveal the ingredients of the ink
which, in his day, was considered remark
able for its blackness, and that 1barra of
Spain initiated his example; while Fondo-
nj refused visitors admittance into one
room of his printing office, in which it is
supposed be adopted peculiar methods for
pressing sheets. Even at the present day
some trade secrets are closely guarded, al
though many things are freely proclaimed.
Another species of secrecy--that relating
to the careful supervision of confidential
public documents, books being printed for
secret societies, and the authorship of arti
cles or pamphlets-bas been NEST honora-
bly, maintained. When treaties are prema-
turely published in newspapers, the copy
is obtained from some leaky or venal Off
cial, and not from any of the printers who
set up or work off the original. So, too,
where it is desirable to conceal the autho-
ship of articles of books, this is rarely or
never disclosed by printer who becomes
acquainted with it in the exercise of his
calling. Most honorable to the profession
is story of Harding, the printer who bore
imprisonment rather than reveal the au-
thorship of the Drapier Letters. Sir Wal
ter Scott'S authorship of the Waverly No
vels, although known by twenty persons,
including a number of printers, was So well
concealed that the great novelist could not
even in his matchless vocabulary, find
words of praise sufficient to express the
sense of his grateful acknowledgment, and
wondering admiration for the matchless
fidelity with which his mystery had been
preserved. In thousands of other instau
ces similar fidelity has been exhibited
and it is part of the professional honor of
a printer not to disclose wantonly, nor
from venal motives, the secrets of any Of
flee in which he is employed.-PrHtters'

A GRANGER.s SERENADE.

Oh. come. my love, and live with me,
Aud keep my cottage in the glen
As patient as an humble bee,
and busy as a setting hen.
Oh, rest beneath my fragrant bower,
Where sweet stramonium doth cntwinc;
Come, smell the gentle caulihowcr
And Gull the III lugeI-wurzle vine.
All, listen to the rural songs
The pea shall wind his magic shell
AS Echo plaintively prolOngs
The warble of the pimperne.
Beyond the vermiceli row,
hear the bull-frogs sigh again
The cackle Of the Durham eve
The below of the Berkshire hen.
Oh, come, love, come! the morn is fair,
I'll celebrate the day with thee;
I'll merrily dig the Bartlett pear,
And shake the ruta baga tree.
Oh, hump yourself, my lovely Poll,
And in the cause of anti-monop
We'll mulch the turkeys in the fall,
And graft the long-clam on the hop
My sweetest / am fond Of mush,
And thou wilt set some out for me;
Wen early sow the currant bush,
And tap the cranberry-jelly tree.
Well pull the wool from off the calf,
The cottonwood its fleece shall shed
SO at the winter will we laugh,
And gai'y weed the oyster bed.
Wen blitheiy hoe the winter wheat,
Wen chase the eggs the squirrels lay;
And when tho bantam hog shall beat,
Well feed him with some clover hay.
All savOry game to thee I'll bring;
The burdock knows my spear is sharp;
I'll shoot the dolphin on the wing,
And hit him in the pcricarp.
Then come, my love, and live with me,
And beautify my lonely den
As patient as IN humbie-bcc,
And busy as a setting hen.

TulE CENTRAL VERMONT

We can but congratulate our fellow cit
liens upon the harmonious meeting of the
stockholders of the Central Vermont rail
road company, held at st. Adams, Tuesday,
the proceedings of which were reported in
our telegraphc columns the following
morning. The president briefly stated the
financial condition of the road; full and
detailed reports not being presented be-
cause at a short day, these statements and
reports will be filed with the court OF chan
Gerry under whose direction, as trustees ihc
company are managing the property. There
is another matter of cOngratulation to the
residents of Rutland, the people Of Yer
mont, the friends of the Rutland railroad.
and all others who are interested III tncs
cess of Vermont railways. In looking over
the list of directors, it will be seen that the
staunch supporters of the Rutland road,
during all its financial difficulties and en-
barrassments, are fully represented, while
those interested in other parts of the line
have not been neglected. 1t is to be Yer
mont railroad, managed in Vermont intc-
rests, all parts Of the state are TO have the
benefit thereof, and every effort will be
made to give our farmers and other pro-
ducers a cheap, easy and speedy line Of trans
portation to and from the great west and
such commercial centers as New York, l}os-
ton, and other points. The mere com
pleXion of the board of directors would, Of
itself, give the lie to the stories, which
have been so long ailoat, in reference to
alleged difficulties between the Central
Vermont and the directors of the Rutland
railroad company. In addition to this, we
are authorized to state that the relation be-
tween the officers Of the two roads are en-
tirely harmonious-how could ii be other
wise, when the directors of the one are in
good part directors of the other We be
lcvc that the difficulties and financial en-
barrassments of the old Vermont Central,
rs represented by the Central Vermont, are
now at an end. The directors are an unit,
and are determined to make the road a
success. We are creditably informed that
arrangements are about completed under
which we shall no more have a court OF
chancery running railroad, no more tall,
about floating debt, trust funds, construc-
ton bonds, trust bonds, first, second and
no one knows how many moro bonds. but
that everything will be settled to the salts
faction of stockholders, security holder,
and other creditors that there will be No
opportunity for scandal-whcthcr started
by designing or honestly deceived men
but that better day is dawning for Yer
mont railroads, and upon the Central Yer
mont and Rutland railroads in particular
From information at hand, we believe thi.
will be so. This, we know, has Leer
brought about not by oyerreachisg the one
selling out that one, deceiving another, bur
honestly honorably and upon strict bust
ness principles.

,rne Lecture SYstem..

al there is anything in the lecture sye-
tom worth saving" says DIR Holland, in
Scribncrs, "let us save it, Those who
know what it used to be will be glad to see
ii restored to its old position, and, if they
have studied its history, they will conclude,
with us, that the starring system must be
stopped. The lecture room must cease to
be the show room of fresh notorieties, at
high prices. Men must be called to lecture
for the simple reason that they have some
thing to say. The courses must be length
ened and made in themselves valuable. The
pushing, by interested bureaus, of untried
men must be ignored or resisted. Men
must be called to teach becauee they can
teach, and not because they can do some
thing else. The lecture must cease to be
regarded simply as an entertainment"
