SUBSTANTIALLY TRUE.

The following story is floating around in
the humorous columns Of the newspapers
An old lady with large family, living
near the Oswego river, was asked It she did
not live in constant fear that some of her
children would be drowned ? "Oh, no." she
replied, 1--WE have only lost three or four in
that way"
OF course, literally considered, it Is "get
up" But, for substance, it holds true over
and over again. A mother has a sou who is
now confirmed drunkard From child
hood he has been accustomed to tho home
use of cider.
This mother has another boy, ten years
old. lie, too, is daily allowed aud encour-
aged to drink cider. Some friends suggest
TO this mother that such a practice may
prove ruinous to her son. "No," she replies,
81 bring my children up to drink all they
please when they are young, that when they
are older they will not care anything about
it,"
One Of her boys has gone overheard, and
another was on the same course, yet she
seemed obliyiOus 10 the awful peril. Thou
sands of fathers and mothers have sons eth
or already ruined or nearly so, and yet they
seem as indifferent as though nothing of seri-
Gus import had unexpectedly three or

READ THIS. BOYS.

A most pernicious little pamphlet bears
the title of Medical Good Sense" and
claims to DO published by tho Manhattan
Medical Institute" This sets forth u deli
cate disease, which no one would care to
have, IN IN alarming light, and then gives
ian mialliblo test" by which those who had
their fears excited by the description may
themselves tell whether they have the dis
ease or not. The test is. TO put some urine
in pint.bottlo, aud set it in n cool place,
and if Mt the end of three days and nights
there is cloudiness OF sediment, there is "un-
mistiIkable evidence" Of serious dorange-
ment, and. of course, the only safe thing 10
do, is to send some of tho sediment to the
author of this pamphlet for microscopic ex-
animation. Now, every one who knows
anything about such matters, is aware, that
cloudiness in the urine, after standing in u
cool place, is very likely thing to happen,
and il is not an "inEllliblc test" for anything.
1t is just dodge of this humbug to Brighten
people into coming to him for treatment. -

THE RELIGION OF LABOR.
NY A woRKrNGMAN.


Religion does not altogether consist in de-
votional exercises, but rs we'll of daily work.
We get wrong idea OF Christianity whom
we reduce IL all to songs and sermons, to
prayers solemn faces, and ecclesiastical par
aphernalia. Religion is not especially for
sabbaths and sanctuarics, but also Tor week
days, for shops, for home, for mills, for
stores, for streets and fields. Religion is
largely I'm outdoor institution, and has little
need of tail steepes or hreling clergy. Its
author was born. baptized, TRANSPORTED and
cruciied under no roof but the sky. IL means
diligence in business, Serving tho Lord in
common vocations and every day relations,
us we'll us In consecrated sylables on set oc-
casions. Jesus was more sublimely gront,
standing alono at the carpenters bench in
Nazareth with an apron on, than If nc had
been surpliced MS priest in the temple. or
arrayod in robes OF royalty on Pilates throne.
lilo was greater with IN adzo in his hand,
than with n crown on his head
Christianity allows no aversion toward the
mechanic, farmer, or workingman. 1t gives
him an honorable position. IL invites him
to its home. and visits him in his. Yet how
many rich young ladies would scorn to ASSOC
ciatc with the sons and daughters Of our
workmcnl Tho matrimonial problems that
busy their brains involve such fractions us
lawyers, physicians, large-salaried preach
ers, wholesale merchants, millionaires, and
gentlemen of leisure. 1t would be ridiculous,
they think, to throw themselves away on
mechanics and farmers.
OF course, society has its ailinities, and
that is well. Education grants it. Refine
ment and culture seek their level. But we
dig dot0n for gold. Too often dssipated
daudyism is petted and honored, while intel
ligent labor is denied u place. The differ
ence between building houses and selling
them is not so great that one should be con-
sidered contemplate and tho other illustri-
Gus. Really, rs n business, it makes but lit
tie difference whether II man men0s clothes,
homes, pens, houses, laws, or morals. Work
is work and nothing less; man is man and
nothing more.
Remember, productive labor is the duty Of
all and that is religion itself, every day and
every hour. Therefore, dear workingmer
and women, don't lose any proper rest
sleep, or recreation, but make labor the es
sencc of your religion, and the grand princi-
pie of true aristocracy, and your present glo'
ry and eternal salvatIon--and what II blessed
world we soon shall have. Aristocracy oI
wealth and monopoly will not then crust
the toiling millions.

For the VERMONT FARMER.
THE DESTROYER.
BY o. G. McCRELLIs.

Reader, let me take you back to n time
now far in the past, and l hardly like to
think and speak of it, for the story have to
tell you has much of sadness in it. 1t is of
a. life opening under the most promising
skies for worldly prosperity, but which by
the intervention of worse than murderer,
became so sadly shipwrecked. 1t is story
of love, and with the poet we are led to ex-
claim:
"Ah, love what mystery solve 1t who can
How many have tried 1t since loving began,
And lost their endeayor!
Our heroine was n farmers daughtor-a
blithe, bonny girl, who sang, and danced,
and romped and rode horseback rs no other
girl in the country could; and could spin,
and make such yellow butter, and cook to
such perfection; who was the pet Of home
and friends, loved by all. The bright prom
ise of n perfect womanhOOd. Nellie, they
called her, and at eighteen she was betroth-
cd to Robert Smithson. Il young farmer OF
pure habits n moderate fortune, and an OK
cellent name; and the prettiest little cottage
house was built for her on his farm which
adjOned her fathers so that she could stand
at her own chamber window and gaze upon
tho spot where her happy dual life was Sc
soon to begin, and there trace the outlines Of
a garden which was already hedged in with
eurrant bushes and roses. And Nellie was
pure, and happy, and innocent us tho birds
that sang their morning songs Mt her rising.
Country people generally do not fritter life
away in detached particles, which are only
bright and hollow.
Nelio's parents were good sensible
Christian people, who had struggled hard
with the world, had lived half century il
the same old house, and had not lived FOL
nothing, but had done something, the recorC
of which hundred years of time could no
eradicate. They had been reasonably sue
cessful in their attempt TO gain property
and when age and its inilrmitics crept slow
by upon them they lived comiortably-hov
comfortably people whose appetites are pro
dueed by artificial means can pever know
They were satisfied with plain, comfortable
clothing, but made the daughters lttl
smarter, because she was young and fair
and must be up with the fashion, though sh
had no silk dress in her wardrobe. nor
bonnet she did not trim herself.

A common impression prevails among the
people that person having committed an
assault against another, can Immediately go
before justice ofthe peace-plead guilty, aud
be assessed in a nominal fine, pay it, and no
further prosecution can be commenced for
the ofense. Judge Ross of the supreme
court has exploded this notion, in the decis-
ion Of a case in Caledonia County court,
One Degrenc waylaid a neighbor on the
road, and gave him severe pounding. The
same night the assailant went to one or two
Of the justices Of the peace to get them to fine
him, but they declined. Tho next morning
he procured a grand jurors complaint and
was fined with cost lie was indicted for the
assault, in the county court, and, on trial, the
respondents counsel filed plea in bar, al
Lodging former conviction. The state re-
piled that the former conviction was fraud
and so the court held, and again fined the
responded $40 and cost. We are glad to
know that this decision has been made for
the information of the public, as very many
intelligent people have entertained erroneous
views upon the subject, that have led them
oftentimes to give bad advice, which fire.
quently resulted in malicious assaults, under
the impression that they had only to make
complaint of themselves, be fined, and
avoid further prosecution. This decision is
in the interest of good order, and for the
welfare of the community. Many other false
views of easy methods OF avoiding the PEN
alties OF tho law would be banished, were
these points more frequently discussed in
the public charges of our judges to jurors

THE PRISONERS DREAM.

Before his soul, as in glass,
A train of gentle phantoms pass.
o holy visioni In the dim
Far dawn his mother smiles on him;
lie feels her bosom softly rise,
Her kisses on his lips and eyes.
In her bright hair his dimpling hands,
Unchided, twist the siken Strands
While he, in rosy infant charms,
Once more lies nesting in her arms.
Tho greonsward in the setting sun;
The eager play when school was done;
The little girl who pulled his hair,
And, whom he kissed her cried, "No fair :"
Swift set hor little buskin down,
And pushed him from her with frown,
Yet smiled and blushed moment after,
0'erripplng In coquettsh laughter;
TO whom no used to shyly bring
The earliest blossoms of the spring;
The nuts he gathered when the year
Put on her gold and purple gear
All, how she took, with simple grace,
His humble gifts as homage due,
And flashed across his dazzled face
Her thankless eyes Of sparkling blue!
At length, most near, most like to life,
The image Of his girlish vile
The graceful shape, the beamng eye,
The warm lips parted musingy,
Tho white young arms upon her breast,
Crossed in the guise Of guileless rest
They weave a dream Of other days.
lie could believe his loss a lie,
30 clear and fixed her loving gaze.
Though something in the soft, still beam
Transconds the purport Of dream,
And while he feels that death is kind
To yield such visions to his mind,
His eyes with swim sweet wonder shine
Their lifted gaze no prison walls conine

TWO WAYS TO LIVE ON EARTH.

There arc two ways to live on earth
Two ways to judge-to act-to view;
For all things hero have double birth
A right and wrong-a false and true
Give me the house where kindness socks
To make that sweet which seemeth small
Where every lip in fondness speaks,
And every mind has care for all.
Whose inmates live in glad exchange
OF pleasures, free from vain expense;
Whose thoughts beyond their means ne'er range
Nor wise denials give ofIense.
Who in n neighbours fortune find
No wish-no impulse-to complaint
Who feels not-nover felt-the mind
To envy yet another's gain!
Who dream not Of the mocking tide
Ambitions foiled endeayor meets
The bitter pangs Of wounded pride,
Nor fallen Power that shuns the streets.
Though Fate deny its glittcring store,
Loves wealth is still the wealth to chooses
For all that men can purchase more
Are sands, 1t is no loss to lose.
Some beings wheresoe'er they go
Find naught to please, or to exalt-
Their constant study but to show
Perpetual modes of finding fault.
While others in the eeaseless round
OF daily want and daily care,
Can yet Gull flowers from common ground,
And tWies enjoy the joy they share
Oh! happy those who happy make
Who, blessing, still themselves arc blest
Who something spare for others sake,
And strive in all things for the best

After all il is pretty discouraging work
for decent men to struggle against the habit
ua office seeker in the political business,
simply because a man adapted to the bust
ness will in the long run work harder to
steal from the public than the next man will
to prevent him. These chaps who are ION
the make" will by dint Of hanging around
with their mouths open and working" man
age to get good many offices in the course
Of useless lifetime from which they will
turn very pretty penny. 1t happens that
good many of the politicians in this county,
as in the whole state, are lawyers, the cause
whereof is chiefly the cd one Of provision
for "idle hands" Windsor County has
about forty lawyers and law work enough
for about six. The farmers might easily
get them out Of politics by giving them pro-
fessional work enough to do, but on the score
Of economy II might be we'll to try shooting
them. That process applied to twenty-five
or thirty Of them might end the whole
difficulty. And could do no possible harm
