SONG OF The FLArL.

bf % T. IhONbhiDuE.
In the autumn, when the hollows
All are filled with flying leaves,
And the colonies Of swallows
Quit the quantity succeed caves,
And silver mantle glistens
Over all the misty vale,
Sits the little wife and listens
To the beating Of the Gail,
To the pounding of the fail
By her cradle sits and listens
No the tapping of the fail.
The bright summer days are over,
And her eye no longer sees
The red bloom upon the clover,
The deep green upon the trees;
flushed the songs of finch and robin,
With the whistle Of the quail;
But she hears the mellow throbbing
OF the thunder Of the hail,
The low thunder Of the fall
Through the amber air the throbbing
anu FeNcrDefhuuB nail.
In the barn the stout young thresher
STOPPING stands with rolled-ap sleeves,
Beating out his golden treasure
From the ripped and rustling sheayes;
Oh, was ever knight in armor-
Warrior all in shining mail
Halfso handsome as her farmer
As he plies the flying fail,
AS he wields the flashing fail?
The bare.throated, brown young farmer
As he swings the sounding fail?
All the hopes that saw the sowing,
All the sweet desire of gain,
All the joy that watched the growing
And the following Of the grain,
And the love that went to WOO her,
And the faith that shall not fail
All are speaking softly TO her
In the pulses Of the fail,
OF the FACILITATING fail
Past and Future whisper to her
IN tue music OF the uau.
In its crib their babe is sleeping,
And the sunshine from the door
All the afternoon is creeping
Slowly round upon the floor;
And the shadows soon will darken,
And the daylight soon must pale,
When the wife no more shall hearken
To the tramping of the fail,
10 the dancing of the fail
When her heart no more shall hearken
To the football of the fail.
And the babe shall grow and strengthen,
Be maiden, be wife,
When the moving shadows lengthen
Round the dial Of their life;
Theirs the trust of friend and neighbor,
And an age serene and hale,
When machines shall do the labor
OF the strong arm and the fail,
of the stout heart and the fall
Great machines perform the labor
OF the good old-fashioned fail.
But when, blessed among women,
And when, honored among men,
They look round them, can the trimming
OF their utmost wishes then
Give them happiness completer?
And can ease and wealth avail
To make any music sweeter
Than the pounding Of the fail?
Oh, the sounding Of the fail
Never music can be sweeter
Than the beating Of the fail!

It would be well If some Of the farmers
would take thefollowing good advice home
to their hearts, and make an effort 10 put
it in practice: Help your wives in every
way you can, trivial through it may seem
to you. For instance keep an extra pair
of shoes or slippers in the hall or entry,
and always remember to change your dirty
boots before entering her clean rooms.
Then you may be sure Of smile Of
welcome, as no dirt viii be left after you
for her to clean up. In the evening comb
your hair as carefully as ever you did in
your counting days, put ona clean coat or
dressing gown, and when yon take yoar
paper to read, do not read to yourself and
leave her to lonesome thoughts while sew
ing or mending, but remember that she,
too, has been working hard all day, and is
still working. Read to her whatever in
terests you, so that her interests and
opinions may grow with yours. You both
will be happier, and being farmers or a
mechanics wife win not be such dread
full tiresome and lonely life as many girls
have every reason now to think ii Is.

The NlOultOn-PrOctOr Suit.

Col. John II. George, the astute New
Hampshire lawyer, well known in Massa-
chusetts from his frequent appearance be-
fore legislative committees as the attorney
of the Boston and Lowell and northern line
of railroads, was the author of the COM
promise Of the Proctor libel suit. Being n
personal friend of Miss Proctor, and recog-
nizing that if the case came totrial her vim
dication would be made second to that of
Mr.. Beecher's, he went to Con. Butler,
also his personal friend, and made pacific
proposals, which there was no difficulty in
accepting, since Moulton could say with
perfect truth that he had no malice against
the lady, and no foundation for the story
other than the word of Mr.. Beecher. Mr.
Beecher himself is very indignant that the
case was settled without asking his testi-
mony of course he is, since the breaking
down Of Moulton by putting him into the
dock first, while the real accused should
speak from the witness-stand with all the
force of an unimpeached witness, was the
real object of all this squatbling to bring
Moulton to trial first. Col. Georges
thoughtfulness for the welfare of Miss Proc
tor does infinite credit to his combination of
chivalry and sagacity, and perhaps also to
his acquaintance with the real facts of the
case
There is great deal of rubbish being
cast, let us hope to the void, over the settle
ment of this suit Papers like the New
York Tribune and Boston Advertiser are
talking about it in very wild way, as
though Moulton had retracted and were
now a convicted liar. 1t is well worth the
pains to call to mind just here the circum-
stances of this SANDER: Beecher demanded
an investigation of his relations with Tilton;
Titon in reply stated his charges against
Beecher, and among his corroboratory wit
nesses was Moulton. The latter was there
upon denounced by Beecher for falsehood
and was himself iriven to a still fuller
statement, in which he alleged that Beecher
had not only confessed to him wrong doing
with Mrs. Tilton, but with anotherwoman.
| 1t is entirely false to say that he published
the calumnies as facts within his own know
edge" (Which by the nature of the crime
would be next to an impossibility,) for he
precisely stated on what authority he pub
ished them. But when he is sued for SLAM
der, he of course has no defense, since his
own authority, Beecher himself, naturally
goes back on him. Mr.. Moulton was cor
nered by the accidents of the law, in max
ing the great accused witness against him,
and we doubt if the compromise of the
case'affects the credbility of his story one
iota in the opinion of candid people. 1t
gives Miss Proctor a formal vindcation,
| and nobody begrudges it to her. But
Moulton's declaration, that Beecher con-
fessed to him what is alleged, is not inn
peached or weakened or retracted in the
slightest by the result or in the course of
this suit. Springfield Republican.

A Broken Household.

She became the inmate of vile den in
"Wildcat Chute" then vagrant, and was
finally arrested and sent to the work house.
The divorce had permitted her to retain
the younger child, little boy five years of
age the father the elder, beautiful and
intelligent little girl about seven or eight
years old. Under the sentence of the
mother, what was to be done with the lit
tie boy? she chung to him with all the in
tensity of her soul, for even degradation,
disgrace, vice and wretchedness had not
stilled the affection of mothers heart.
He could not be sent with her to the work
house. The city authorities decreed that
he should be remanded to the father: lie
was accordingly notified that his little boy
was at the Four Courts. where he could
come and get him. The announcement
was joyful one. He fastened to the spot
but what a sad sight met the fathers gaze
There was the little fellow, wrapped IN an
old blanket and clad only in short calico
slip, both ragged and filthy, smiling in ig-
norance of his mothers shame. The meet
ing of the three was affecting in the ex-
IRENE. The sister embraced her brother
with all the demonstrations of joy, kissed
and Rugged him, and at once assumed
charge Of him with the most matronly air.

CHE Rutland daily Glubs,
TUESDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1874.


Ezra Cornell, the founder OF the univer-
sty bearing his name, died at Ithaca, N.
Y, Wednesday afternoon. His advantages
for school education were very small, but
such as they we've he improved them to the
utmost. lie was natural mechanic, and
acquired by tuition knowledge of tools
and machinery of all kinds, which enabled
him TO adapt himself to all emergencies
with wonderful facility. Turning in sue
cession to several kinds of business, he was
moderately successful in all. Soon after
the invention OF the electric telegraph, Mr..
Cornell became interested in it, accidental
ly at first but he soon gave up his other
pursuits to devote his energies to this. 1t
was partly owing to his energy and zeal
that it so quickly attained the magnificent
success 1t has achieved. Mr.. Cornell, in
vestng his returns in telegraph stock and
in Western lands, became very rich, and
with the accumulation of property came
the honorable desire to eXpend it for the
good of his fellow men. His first act of
liberality was the endowment of public
library in Ithaca, where he had made him.
self home Fifty thousand dollars was
expended for this object, but Mr.. Cornell
soon perceived there was wider opening
to do good than this. He resolved to build
and endow university, where all branches
of learning, technology as well as science,
and the arts as well as the classics, could
be taught. To his munficence, therefore,
Cornell university largely owes its existence
The act of congress of 1862, granting pub
| lie lands to the several states and territories
which might provide colleges for the pro-
motion of agriculture and the mechanic
arts, gave to New York land scrip repre-
scnting $780, 900 acres of land, which was
subsequently selected in the West THIS
amount was first appropriated conditionally
by the legislature to another institution,
but the stpulations of the contract not
having been fulfilled, the entire proceeds
of the land grant were transferred in 1865
TO the Cornell university upon its compll-
ance with certain conditions, of which the
most important were that Ezra Cornell
should give to the institution $500, 200, and
that provision should be made for the edu-
cation, free of charge for tuition, of one
student from each assembly district of the
state. This requirement was fulfilled by
Mr.. Cornell, who subsequently gave up
ward of 200 acres of land in Ithaca, with
buildings, as a site for the university and
as farm tor the college of agriculture,
beside the levitt college in geology and
paleontology, which had cost him $4,000.
lie also made other donations amounting to
upward of 100000. In commemoration
of the act of incorporation. the university
keeps the anniversary of the signature OF
the charter by the governor, April 81, as
a holiday, under the title of ''charter day. >
The institution was opened Oct. 7, 1868,
with Andrew d. White as president, since
which time its usefulness has been largely
increased by the munifcent benefactions OF
more than one phianthropist

On one occasion, Lent was part owner
of travelling circus and menagerie. One
day he met a man out West who had a
grizzly bear for sale. As the animal was a
splendid specimen of a young grizzly,
Lent purchased him, and after he got him
he found himself in the position of
the man who drew the elephant. There
was but one cage in tie menagerie that
could contain the bear, aud that already
had an occupant IN the shape of large and
finely developed Bengal tiger. Lent told
one of his partners that he was going to
quarter the grizzly with the tiger.
'The devil you are" was the answer.
"Why that tiger will make. a square meal
of him beforeyo can wink !"
All right. If he does, I'm satisfied, y
says Lent You look after your tiger,
and I'll take care OF my bear"
The grizzly was accordingly lifed into
the cage, the tiger having previously been
driven into the opposite corner by the ap-
plcation of hot irons. Then all the en-
ployes of the circus gathered to witness the
fight. The animals sighted each other at
the same time but while the tigers eyes
blazed with fury and his tail dashed the
bars in his excitement, the grizzly simply
nodded in a sleepy manner, as if in reCog-
milton of the presence of the other beast,
and crouched against the bars waiting de-
velopments. They remained as far apart
as the cage would permit for at least five
minutes, but every moment the rage of the
tiger seemed to increase, while the bear
seemed to be sinking into deep slumber.
AT last the tiger began to growl and slide
toward the bear, moving from side to side
of the cage as he did so. The growing
aroused the bear to life, and he had just
time to measure his enemy, when, with the
rapidlty Of lightning, the tiger sprang for
ward and alighted upon his head and back.
For moment there was terrible bowling
from both animals, as they rolled over and
over in the cage, and then they separated
for an instant, the bear seeming to have
shaken off his antagonist. During this
brief cessation of hostilties it was feared
that the bear had got decidedly the worst
of the combat rs he was bleeding freely
from several gaping wounds.
The hacker of the tiger was delighted,
and wanted Lent to consent to having a
stop put to the fight. 'No," answered he,
''let them fight, and I'll bet on the bear.
So at it they went again, and there was
terrible fighting for several minutes. II
finally ended in the tiger giving several
mournful howls, and when they were sepa-
rated he skunk away to his corner as meek
an submissive looking as an animal could
be. After that day the bear bossed that
cage, and if the tiger became unruly he re-
celved a blow from the grizzly's paw that
set him to thinking over past events at
once

4 GhastIy Suicide - Remarkable
Dream.

The disappearance of Frederick Hines,
who left his employer at Raymerton, n. y,
in July last, has ever been a mystery I'M
til last week, when John Risenburgh, an
acquaintance of Hines, dreamed that he
discovered the remains of the absent man
near the stump of a tree on the Grafton
mountain. Mr.. Risenburgh was greatly
impressed with the dream, and accordingly
related it to several persons, who at once
set out for the spot, where they found the
bones and part of the clothing of the miss
ing man, and decayed rope hanging to n
bough of tree with which he had proba-
bly, hung himself. The rope had broken
with the weight of the body, which had
fallen to the ground and there had been
eaten by some animals. The gnawed bones
plainly indicated this. Hines was unmar-
ried, about forty-fve years of age and OF
Incorporate habits.
