'''''H i'"'
One pleasant day in June. Mamie asked
her mamma to let her 70 out strawbcrrying
on the hillside. Her mamma said yes, but
told her not to 90 across the brook because
she might get lost.
Mamie put on her bonnet took her two
quart pail and started When she got to
the hillside she found but few berries, and
so she wandered along till she came to the
brook. She thought she saw berries on the
other side, and forgetting what her mamma
had told her, she crossed over, but did not
find the berries as she expected. She wan
delcd from one place to another, looking
for them till she could not see the brook
or hill but she found IL place at last,
where the ground was red with the tempt
ing fruit Her pail was soon filed and
then She started us She thought towards
home, but went wrong and came to n field
covered with thistles and briar brushes.
Her feet were bare and the thistlcs pricked
them. The bliars scratched her legs and
tore her clothing, aud they were 50 high,
and there were SO many Of them, fshe could
not tell where she was going. At last she
was so tired and discouraged that she sat
down on Il log and cried. Then she no.
tced that it was almost dark, and started
up in Il hurry to get out of the brush be-
fore it was night. BY good luck she came
out by the brook but it was not in the
same place where She had crossed over it,
and her home was not in sight. She
walked on short distance and came to a
dam with Il little water wheel, and then
she remembered where she was. The dam
and little wheel belonged to nice little
boy named Charlie She had been with
him to play with the wheel and she knew
if she followed down the brook, she would
come to Charles home She ran on till she
come to the bdrn-yard near Charles house.
Now there was cross, old turkey COB
bier in the yard, and Mamie had on a red
dress 1t makes turkeys very angry to see
anything red, and so the old turkey flew at
Mamie as soon as she opened The gate.
Mamie ran and screamed with all her
might Charlie was in the garden with
his dor, Jack, and set him on the turkey

TAXATION AND REPREsENTA-
TION.

We considered Monday, the case of the
"Smith sisters" of Glastonbury, Connect
icut, as it actually existed upon the law and
facts. We endeavored to show that there
could not be perfect representation in tax
ation-that is in voting for taxes. As the
law now stands in this state, and we pre-
sumo il is substantially the same in the
other states, each tax payer, who is q legal
voter, has the same vote on the question of
raising taxes, the amount thereof, etc, no
matter what may be their grand list Or the
sum total of their taxes. Here is a seeming
injustice, in that eighty dollars of taxes
may control a hundred thousand dollars of
taxes. The injustice is, however, but
seeming. Every person stands upon an
equality, be he rich or poor all are equal

RrTLAND, Jan. 81. 49,.

RUTLAND, Jan. u, 1874.
Editor Hutiand GioJe AT the recent
meeting of the Rutland county Agricultur-
al society, there was1 a amendment offer
ed to the fourth article of the constitution.
intending to limit the privileges of the
members to free admission to the fair
ground, owned blythe society, ''only to the
exhibitors of said society.
Bat during the discussion, an amend
mcnt TO this amendment was proposed by
Mr.. l.. Round, one of the opposers. He
said, among other things, that if the mover
would add ''to be in operation two years
only they would favor it. This proposal
was accepted by the mover, Mr. J. l.. Bill
lings and passed by almost unanimous
vote Now with this amendment it virtu-
ally takes all the privileges Of the members
Of the society away after two years, as it
has made article four to read
Life members shall have the privilege
of making entries of animal or articles free
in any class for exhibition and premiums,
and free admission to the fair grounds at
all exhibitions Of the said society to be in
operation two years, only under such regu-
lations as the board of directors may pre-
scribe.
So by the amendment. the life members
cease to have any rights after two years,
when exactly the opposition was intended
to have been done.
Would it not be wise for men to know
what they are about and not make amend
mcnts, unless they know the force of
them Would il not. also, be best 20 call

The cable brings intelligence of the
death of Rev. David Livingstone, the celc-
bratcd geographical explorer of the interior
of Africa and the sources Of the Mic, in
the pursuit of his favorito explorations, in
the heart of Africa. There have been so
many reports in reference to the demise OF
this eminent explorer, that the dispatch
must be taken with C. grain of allowance
Until we have some reliable confirmation OF
this report, we defer all comment thereon,
except to say that geographical exploration
in that almost unknown region, if the ru-
NOR or report is true, has received blow
from which it will take years to recover.

We publish, elsewhere. a communica-

that society. If our correspondent is right

that he is-the fourth article. as amended

known that frequent exhibitions, such as
trial of speed, fairs of the state agricul-

to the grounds at all times. This, natural

grounds as often as they otherwise could,

source of profit to the society. 1t was to

FErYcu ECoNoMY.-Mayor Medll Of
Chicago writes from France that nothing
impresseS him more than the economy OF
the people. As an instance, he says;
Paris contains between four and five
times the population of Chicago, but | find
that the fuel consumed in it is less than in
Chicago 1t is true that the climate is
much warmer for six months of the year in
Paris than in Chicugo, but after making due
allowance for that, it still remains true that
only one-third to two-tltths as much fuel is
consumed per capita in Paris as in Chicago (;
and, as far as my observation and inquiries
extend, the same proportion holds good
throughout all France.

When you ruuEp bills at the butchers,
the bakers andthe nliliiner's, and dress

you can afford. 1t is hard to keep track
of all your accommodating indebtedness,
and yau are tempted to spend the money
lying idle in your hands, for things which
you can just as well 90 without, and in
this way ineOmmode yourself when the
day for the settlement Of bills arrives.
Every tradesmAn knows that people buy
more freely on credit than for cash.
When the pocket book is drawn upon

is truer appreciation Of the cost than Of
the purchase. In housekeeping especial
