ROyaI Proposing,

Nicholas, the Emperor of Russia,
won his bride in a singular way; yet it
had spice of'gallantry in it. During
visit to the King of Prussia, one day,
while at dinner, the emperor rolled up
a ring in piece, of bread, and, hand
ing it to the Princess Royal, said to
her, in a, subdued voice, "If you will
accept my hand, put Fthis ring on your
finger" This is the imperial way of t.
popping the question. ., She took. no
time to deliberate, but, suffered her
heart to speak the truth at once, and
their happy nuptials were soon con ,
summated.
The royal way is illustrated by the
instance of Queen Victoria's proposal
to the man of her choice, Prince AL
bert. ,el s. 10 gc;t.lls 4ft 81
HThe prince had been out hunting
early with his brother on that day, hut
returned at twelve, and half an hour
afterward .obeyed the queens summons
to her room, where he found her alone.
After q few minutes conversation ON
other subjects, the queen told him why
she had sent for him; and we can we'll
understand any little hesitation and
delicacy she may have felt in doing SO,
for the queens position, making it i'm
perative that any proposal of marriage
should come first from her, must neces-
sarily appear painful one to those
who, deriving their ideas on this sub
iect from the practice of private life,
are won't to look upon it as the privilege
and happiness of q woman to have her
hand sought in marriage, instead OF
having to offer it herself. ."-Memotrs

Advice to Women.

Never lend your money to any man
without the most ample security. Do
not be tempted by offers of high inter-
est or large profits to invest in business
enterprises of which you knownothing.
If you do, ten to one you will be cheat
ed-especially if the tempter is rela-
tive who ought naturally to protect you.
Put your money into public securities,
or the savings banks, and be content
with fair interest and-safety. Take no
mans word in matters of money, but
take instead the advice of disinterested
parties, and demand always the sound
est securities. Men are not governed
in business matters by friendship or
relationship, but by their own interests.

Each ant in an ant hill knows his
companions. Mr.. Darwin several times
carried ants from onehill to another, in.
habited apparently bytens of thousands
of ants; but the strangerswere invariably
detected and killed. Thinking there
might be family odor by which they
were recognized, he put some ants from
a very large nest into q bottle strongly
perfumed with asafoetida, and restored
them after twenty-four hours. At first
they were threatened by their compan-
ions, but soon recognized and allowed
to pass.

The Governorship.
IUsTIob.

Editor Of the Vermont Farmer -
find myself in as bad fix as West
Side Voter" in your last. First a "Ver-
mont Farmer" demurs to my wish to have
farmer, because he is a farmer, for our next
governor. He says we want an honest man,
whether q lawyer, doctor or farmer. Just
so. But the idea has so long prevailed
that no farmer has sufficient brains for very
important Offices that it is necessary at this
time that we insist upon having farmer,
and what we ask is for the most capable and
honest man that can be found among them.
Let us not be deceived by the cry Of "class
leg'slation,' aud continue to support these
men who have lorded it over US in the past.
vermont Farmer" virtually comedies this
by giving his preference for one of our best
farmers for governor Ii Mr.. Douglas is
such man as he represents him he cannot
fail TO meet the requirements of the farm
ing community, and should be supported by
them.
But am puzzled with the allusion of
"West Side Voter" to my endorsement Of
Mr.. Lane in my second article In reply
wish to say that believe that the farmers
Of Vermont have been cheated out of the
money granted TO them for au agricultural
college, and Mr.. Lanes speech at the time
oondenning the act met my hearty approx
al. frankly expressed that approval with
out intending to endorse his claims or those
of his friends for the Office of governor.
Let "West Side Voter" rest assured that
no prolonged wires" of party politicians
have extended to my quiet nook 10 the
Green Mountains, being much more famil.
lar with such rings as my father used in bis
swine's noses when turning them to pasture
than the rings Of political demagogues who
run the "machine" with which our Addison
County friend seems to be so familiar"
My honest intention in writing upon the
subject was to have our west side friends
bring out their best man for our examiua.
ton and support, and think from present
appearances the result will be all | could
have wished. | think that the names of
two good farmers have been presented for
our consideration. As to which one would
make the best governor the limited acquain-
lance l have had precludes me from giving
an opinion. CALEDONIA FARMER.

II turned out that Il cost him just City cents
to get the damage repaired.
Every year we hear of towns which have
verdicts rendered against them, imposing
heavy damages and costs, and often in cases
where the plaintiff was far more in the fault
than the town. The natural impulse OF a
jury is to give their friend or neighbor a YER
dict which shall partly compensate him for his
loss, as II will come out Of the town and not
out OF any individual. The sympathies Of a
jury IN such case are always more or less
IN favor of the plaintiff, and strict justice is
seldom melted out between n town or large
corporation aud an individual. Would il
not DO wise move to repeal the laws under
which these verdcts are given, and have
officers whose duty it shall be to see that the
roads are kept in proper repair, and who
shall be required to pay fines for every neg.

measures (contraction) as shall make our ma.
tiopal promises 70 pay as good as gold, and
then it will not take long to take up the
bonds aud stop paying interest on them.
lnAationists say that greenbacks are just
aO good as gold, and better, and yet il any
thing be said about government resuming
specie payment they cry out that there
would be such rush to the government for
gold aud silver that the demand could not
be met Now il looks rational. to US that
so soon as man finds that the greenbacks
in bis pocket are as good as gold he loses all
desire to exchange them for gold, preferring
the more portable paper, and therefore the
rush to the treasury which might at first
take place could not have size or duration
enough to "break the bank" of Uncle Sam.
One of the greatest hindrances to the ma.
tional prosperity is the reckless spirit Of
speculation which is not osly manifested 10
the mauipulations of stocks in Wall Street,
out IN the ordinary everyday business trans
actions Of life. Could the credit system be
entirely done away with, what blessings
would result TO our land Failures in busi-
ness could not occur, aud man would begin
to have confidence in his brother man. But
we do not look to see any speedy dawn Of
that millenial day when the bulls and the
bears shall lie down together, and there
shall be no more debts. Some object that
the credit system is necessary because the
parties who have the will to enter into
our manufacturing enterprises have not the
capital, and SO must hire it, hut though cap.
italists prefer to lend their money aud pock-
ct the interest thereon while more enterprise
ing parties run all the risks, we believe they
are not the men who would allow capital to
lie idle in their hands if none would hire it,
but they would invest it in the manufactur.
ing enterprises themselves, assume the risks,
and if failures sometimes resulted it would
be the loss of what was theirs, not something
borrowed, and they who were able would
alone bear the burden Of loss.

The South complain Of lack of currency.
There man who owns 100 or 1000 acres of
land sits down and wants some one to work

the Government to print some more paper.
Suppose the Government does print it, how
is he to get ftp He could get it now, If he
would sell some of his land for what il was
really worth, and not hold it at infa ted
prices.
The worst evils of an unsound currency
fall upon the poor. The harm of wrong
legislation in finance, as in taxation. falls
and rests at last upon them. As direct
consequence of deprecated money, prices
fuctuate, so the man who buys cannot tell
for what he will SELL or what his money
Will he worth when he gets his pay. Against
this uncertainty the rich man can insure
himself by adding percentage to his price.
The poor man who buys to consume, not to
sell again, pays this percentage out of his
poverty.
