1t has been too much the custom in
Vermont TO ignore the young men OF
the State, bo:h in politics and bnsi-
ness. This custom has had a direct
influence in driving so many of our
ambitions and enterprising young
men 10 enrich other communities,
where gray hairs are not the only re-
commentator to recognition. g.
The coming summer is the political
yesr in Vermont. State and county
officers arc to he selected for the com
ing two years. Now, we hope
the people will themselves decide
who they want to do the business of
the State for them, and that they will
indulge in no prescription of classes,
no favors TO particular occupations
and wholly refrain from discussing
the age of candidates. A firm and
vigorous manhood is needed, and we
believe in recognizing the merits Of
our young men whenever they have
one of their number who gives prom
Use of as good or better work than
The old hacks of politics. Give us
good, true, able, moral men for office,
and their capacity, integrity and sue
cess will make up for any lack or
surplus of years. Rutland Herald.

how few there are who really do this |!
And this is the reason, no doubt, why
there are so many half-starved with
cred up Christians they do not feast
upon Gods Word. To read a chap
ter in the Bible hastily at night, when
ohe is weary and longing to lay
their head upon the pillow, is not

Decoration Day is approaching,

Decoration Day is approaching,
and the preparations in many places
suggest the probability that it is soon
to be classed among those days which
are set apart for nauiynGl observance.
1t is right that the memory of the
men who fell in defense of the nation
al life shosld ever be had in grateful
remembrance by all who take just
view of the civil war. That war be-
ing over, its cause even having pass
ed away, the two sections of the coun-
try, which were then in deadly strife,
have become one nation again. While
we should do nothing to awaken for
ever animosities, we claim the priv
ilege of perpetuating the memory of
our gallant dead, by rehearsing their
names and deeds of val0r-Gleeds,
nobly performed for the eause of lib
erty. Doubtless Charles Sumner,
when seeking to efface from the flag
of reunited America, the names of
victories over the South, thought that
by so doing the memory of the past
bitterness between the two factions,
would more surely fade AWAY. and
the people become more closely
united. If so, the end toward which
he was looking, was what it should
have been. While the South should
not he tainted with their defeat, nor
made to feel that the ylctors rejoice
over them, it is the privilege OF all
10 remember the loved and lost, and
to rejoice that America is indeed free
from the curse of African slavery.
The day is, however, not open to the
objection against the celebration of
victories, for its memories are tender
rather than vindictive, and it having
become the custom Of our southern
brethren, as well as ours, to decorate
the graves of the slain, it can hardly
he supposed that .bygone animoslties
will be awakened thereby.

For the Essex County Herald
Farming,

This year the season opens unusu-
ally late, and farmers now are eager
to make up for the time which the
cold weather has compelled them to
lose. Although late, it is not too
late for abundant harvest to be pro-
elnced, and the present fine weather
will, without question, be used 10 the
hest advantage. Would it not be
well for those farmers of limited
means to try the plan of blowing that
amount of land only which they are
able to enrich to that extent which
shall produce the best incomes.
Many q farmer looks forward and
measures the harvest he is to reap in
autumn by the extent Of land he sows
or plants in the spring. This result
will, other things being equal, prove
true every time that the land cult
waited is enriched to the extent that
it should be. But if the farmers
means will be exhausted in preparing
five acres for sowing and planting,
it is useless for him to spread the ma
'terial ard labor over ten acres, and
think to double his profits. We
know Of farmers who do not raise
above twenty bushels of oats to the
acre and those of an inferior quality,
when if the ground was properly en-
riched and prepared from the acres,
we might as well raise sixty bushels,
of the best quality and the labor for
both would be nearly the same, ex-
cept for harvesting. Increasing the
crop per acre, generally largely in
creases the quality Of the article pro-
duced. VIpl.

The suggestions contained in the
following communication to the Ian
caster Gazette concerning the obser-
walton Of Decora ton Day, will be of
interest to our readers:
AT the preliminary meeting of the
Veterans held in Kcnt's Building,
Thursday evening last, there was Il
feeling expressed to the effect that
Memorial Day belongs to tue
whole people lather thea to any class.
Sacrifices for the Union We're made
by the citizens at home no less than
by the soldiers in the field. The ben
etits which flow from the preservation
of the Union are enjoyed by all, and
any expression Of gratitude properly
comes from all. The Veterans there
fore held that there would be an i'm
propriety in their assuming the con
troll of the day 'ifthe citizens are will
ing TO take the matter in hand. They
accordingly passed motion calling Il
public meeting at which all the citi-
zens of the town-men, women, every
class interested, are invited to equal
participation. II the people now as
sumo the appointment of the memori-
al exercises, and take an active inter-
est in the matter, this precedent will
doubtless control all future action
and the true basis Of the celebra ton
will be found.
A hope was expressed by the SOL
dier citizens, that the observance
might be on the appointed day rather
than on Sunday as hitherto. This
would give an opportunity for any
70 come in from neighboring
towns if they so desire. 1t will also
favor historical orations that would be
inappropriate in church and as y
part of Sunday service.

A contemporary lays down the fol-
lowing pithy code of newspaper by
laws. They are the best we have
seen drawn up:
l. BE briet. This lis the age of
telegraphs and stenography.
2. Be pointed. DON'T write all
around aubject without hitting it.
3. State facts, but don't stop to
moralize. It's drowsey subject.
Let the reader do his own dreaming.
4. Esehew prefaces. Plunge at
once into your subject like swimmer
into cold water.
3. Of you have written a sentence
that you think particularly fine. draw
your pen through it. A pet child is
always the worst in the family.
6. Condense. Make sure that
you really have an idea, and then re-
cord it in the shortest possible terms.
We want thoughts in their 'qaintes-
cence.
Z. When your article is completed
strike out nine-tenths of the 'attject.

8. Avoid all high flown language.
The plainest Anglo-Saxon words are
the best. Never use stills when legs
will 10 as well.
8. Make your sentences short.
Every period is a milestone, at which
the reader may stop and take Test.
10. Write legibly. Don't let
your manuscript look like the tracks
Of a spider half drowned in ink. We
shan't mistake any one for genius,
though he writes as crabbidly as Ma

ROBERTA FINLAY, Second daughter of Hon
George p. Fiulay, Galveston, Texas.
L. Roberta dead? Did read Alright?
Has that bright child gone from our sight?
That Young life closed, thus sudden, and brief,
Like the early tall Of the rose buds leaf?
Now God be their comfort, those hearts so lone
Bowed with grief for their darling gone.
She was fair to look on, this wnsome child
Blithesome and gay as breezcs wild.
Her beautiful eyes were full Of glee,
And her golden curls we're Joy to see!
All buried now I! and gone from sight!
The hopes Of fair childhood quenched in night J!
Why Death, didst thou come in silence and gloom
And pluck this sweet bud in its early bloom!
Didst thou covet the treasure God gave? and so
Fill all our hearts with grief and wo!
What art can heal such hopeless pain?
Or bind loves broken links again!
Dear God, we know earth has no balm;
But He who bid the storm be calm,
Who wept to see His dear ones weep,
We know He does our loved ones keep,
And bids us think of the golden shore
Where the dear one has only "gone before"
