To pass away the gloomy hours in
prison, Bunyan took rail out of the
stool belonging to the cell, and with his
knife fashioned it into a. flute. The
keeper, hearing music, followed the sound
to Bunyau's cell but while he was un.
locking the door, the prisoner placed the
rail in the stool, SO that the searchers
were unable to solve the mystery nor
during the remainder of Bunyan's resi-.
dence in the Jail, did they ever discover
how the music had been procured.

Sometimes, in the season of drought,
you may stand upon hilltop and look
upon the parched and yellow fields.
Presently you say: "What is the mean
ing of that ribbon of green that winds
down the slope through the meadows till
il is lost in the distance? All, now
remember. That is where a brook ran
once, Its waters have been dried up, but
the verdure which they nourished re.
mains." And so how often does it hap
pen, after a good mans life has exhaled
to heaven, that the beauty and glory Of
its benifcence abide.

The Enects of Early Rising.

DIR. Hall, the editor of the Journal OF
Health, whose sound common sense, en-
lightened by experience and observation
is not to be gainsaid, declaims against
the ill effects of early rising in very
earnest fashion. He declares that 1t
tends to shorten life that many farm
or boy has been converted into an incu-
rable invalid by the practice; that many
girl has been stinted in mind and body
by being compelled to rise before the
system had full rest. "All who are
growing" he says, all who work hard,
and all weakly persons, should not get
up until they feel as if they would be
more comfortable to get up than to re-
main in bed that is the only true meas
ure of sufficiency of rest and sleep.
Any one who gets up in the morning
feeling as if he would give anything in
the world to remain in bed a while long
er, does violence to his own nature, and
will always suffer from it-not immedi-
ately, it may be, but certainly in later
years. In any given case the person
who gets up in the morning before he is
fully rested will lack just that rnuch of
the energy requisite for the days pur-
suits" DIR. Hall asserts that, as a peo-
pie, we do not get enough sleep and rest /;
hence our nervousness, instability, and
feeble vitality. He ascribes the prema-
ture deaths of working women, espe-
cially of farmers wives, to lack of
sleep in proportion to their labor. There
lie a good deal of truth in the Doctors
as any one who pauses to
question his own experience must ac-
knowledge.

The vershire Copper Mines.
EFFECT OF THE sULrHURous SMOKE

EFFECT OF THE sULPHURous SMOKE
THE CRoPsIN ORANGE COUNTY.
For the Bellows Falls Times.
Mr.. EpIToR:--I wrote some time
since giving you brief description OF
the copper mines in Vershire and its
works, without telling you the terrible
effect that the sulphurous smoke from
the roast beds and furnaces had upon
vegetation.
The foliage looks at this writing, in
appearance like the forest after heavy
frosts in October, and the maple trees
are fast dying out, also the hemlock,
spruce and fir trees, while the valley
near and the hillside has not spear of
green heritage growing, so poison is the
smoke which rises from the smoking air.
Nothing comes to maturity in the gar
dens where this smoke touches. The
wind carries the smoke quite distance,
and it is feared by some of the farmers
in the vicinity of the mines, that their
sugar orchards will be spoiled by the
poisonous smoke. In May last crossed
over high hill ON which was one of the
most beautiful maple orchards. The
wind blowing from the mines carries that
awful smoke with it, and the smell of
which made me think of an M. d., who
inhaled SO much of it that it came near
taking his life. The peoplein theneigh-
borhood of this smoke realize but very
little from their gardens, which makes a
good market for the farmers who live
little back, for all their garden sauce,
which always brings good price.
Leaving this place and going toward
the Connecticut Valley, we come to one
of the finest sheets of water, where can
be seen several small sailing crafts, and
finally we come to the most beautiful
part of the valley of the Connecticut
river. especially from Fairlee to Brad
Iord, where can can be seen some of the
most magnificent scenery, high cliffs of
rock rising some five hundred feet above
the level of the railroad. The last
named place is very quiet town; moth
ing to excite the stranger except as he
hears occasionally some remarks from
politicians, who shall be our next mem.
Der of Congress-" So far as heard from
at this writing, delegates chosen seem to
be Poland men.
The crops in this county are good, the
hay crop being abundant. 1t is thought
that the fruit crop will not be as large
as two years ago. L.w.B.

did lots has become now so well and so tavorably
known by the public, that nothing need be said of
it. without it is to add, that within the last few
months most important changes have, occurred;
excellent houses have been built others in
progress of erection streets have been laid out and
graded and open for lots have been carefully
arranged with reference to large and permanent
the entire tract of lots, by the town. forming
junction with Henry street, thus surrounding the
whole plat with well arranged and beautiful prone
nades and drives that bring the varied attractions of
Bellows Falls at once to the eye of the beholder.
The corporation has laid down a 6 inch water main
through the streets thus with the spring water upon
the premises enabling the lot owners, at compare
lively trihing expense, to obtain all the water
sary for domestic and FIRE purposes,
In short, this place has become developed and it
is admitted by all to be the attractive and beau
