while there was general expression of
disapproval of and rcpugnance at the
manner of his taking off, there was also
a very general disapproval OF his life

sion that he died as fool dieth was
made, or thought, about him more than
about any other man who has died this
generation. a year or two has passed,

Why Sleep Ye 2

The cry against intemperance Is pass
ing through our land, from west to east
from north to south. SiStcrhOod to sis
terhOOd sends the rolling cry. and many
hearts are cheered by the bold stand
thus so nobly taken. Is there nothing
to be done in this place? Where are
the sisters. mothers and wives of those
daily exposed to this fearful temptation
in this village? Have your brothers
and sons hitherto escaped? You know
not how long they may. Others as no.
bic, talented and strong as your loved
ones, have fallen victims to this fearful
habit. If yOW husband has never
yielded, there are other homes. even i'm
your very midst. darkened by the curse
of incompetence. Shall we do nothing
for them! Shall we let oar sisters IN
Ohio and Maine. in Massachusetts and
Pennsylvania, and many other states
work, even unto death. as many are
resolved to do. with no encouragement
from us!
There is work to he done here. Who

without a watchful, hostile foe across
our border. demanding preparation fol
defence, one might say that there were
wanting some of the essential and vital
conditions of passionate loyalty. And
vet we were not without the theory that
the government that fosters manhood
| fosters patriotism also : that the soil
that gives home and sustenance to so
many hitherto unblessed thousands
should nOurish generous, grateful
patriotism. But when the hour of trial
came. how were we thrown into doubt,
confusion. almost despair When the
first shell smote Sumter, it precipitated
grave but simple problem upon us.
1t was simply whether republic has
power to develop a patriotism ade-
quate to its defence. Then uprOse these
men to solve that problem !; to testify
that the government that fosters man
hood, indeed fosters patriotism that
the race that has a genius for politics
has also Il genius for patriotism ; that
like the free Frisians and other free
commercial people, the race that has a
genius for commerce and for personal
liberty, has also Il genius for sacrifice
that the men who know how to live
well upon their country know well how
to die for it.
But what of their achievement To
declare its greatness were too great a
task for me. | stand before it as before
an ocean, till my heart seems to hcave
with its hcavings to expand with its

eXaggerate it. After heavirg and quak-
ing. threatening direst disruption, we
stand firm at last What il history they
have made! Have they not refashioned

the great forces of the social and pOlit-

The occasion for all this temptation

to say that the world would he the

he strongly endorsed the enterprise. 1t
was also advocated by Gen. w. W.
Henry, of Burlington, in carefully
prepared report, giving some of the i'm
portant facts and figures relating to the
subject.
A committee reported the following
resolution which was unanimously
adopted. and its publication author
lied
Resolred. That the importance of the
Caughnawaga ship canal is such, that
we pledge ourselves to cooperate will
those who are labOring to accomplish
this object. And we recommend to the
Patrons of this state to subscribe to its
capital stock as literally as their means
will permit, provided the majority OF
its directors are members of the Patrons
of Husbandry.
1t is understood that the Caughna
waga canal company will be requested
to postpone for sixty days the election
of its new and enlarged board of direc-
tors under the extended charter, i'll
order to give the grangers an Opportu-
nifty to subscribe to the stock. If they
will take a majority of the stock OF
course no one can object to their having
Il majority of the directors.
In this enterprise there is something
practical to work ut, most materially
affecting the interests of the farmers
East and West, and of peculiar imp"r-
lance to Vermont. 1t is. in fact, the
solution of the great ploblem of cheap
transportation from the northwest to
the sea-hoard, and if the Vermont
Patrons will successfully inaugurate the
enterprise, they will win glory enough
