Parson Lee.
Editor and Proprietor,
Office on Richardson ST.. near Taylor

To drowsy country village
Game certain Parson Lee;
And man SO quaintly different
From all other mon was he,
That the Squire himself, the skeptic,
Came to church to hear him ray,
And to note the strange things uttered
By this marvel Of the day.
The eccentric said this planet
Was true and goodly place,
And the only thing it wanted
Was the more of Heaven 's.grace;
And he sought to show the people
How to think and work aud live,
So that each should help the other
and unto the needy give.
How the door that leads to Hea ven
Was most amply broad and wide.
And go easily inside;
That the very gentlest natures
In the world may yet be strong;
And how truth is always wisdom,
And all wickcdness is wrong.
He explained how true religion
Was day-working. nothing more;
That this world was not nm ocean,
Nor We pebbles on the shore;
But that thinking men and women
Should find better things to do
Than in twisting Gods command
Or quite breaking them in two.
"As for acting like our neighbora,
Why, We none of us are fools !
You cannot be made Christian
Under everybody's ru'es.
1t your neighbor's not as good as
He or you would have him be,
Just you 90 ahead aud beat him!r'
Said this candid Purson Lee.
Next, he told them how complaining
Was noxious choking weed;
That the flowers scarcely blossomed
Ere they changed to homely seed;
How that seed again sprang upward
And bore many how'rets more;
And that life was ever fading
And renewing. DER and DER.
So. this man. by honest talking,
Worked his wonders in the tow;
But he never cared for praises,
And he laughed at high renown;
Yet the people loved him dearly,
And they blessed God for the sight,
Till at last the Master left them,
On cold, dark winters night.
Thus he went, they knew not whittier
Have you ever met him. pray?
Yon would know him bv tis smiling,
And the sunshine ou his way.
We have hunted DER creniion,
Over land and over sea,
But no traces can discover
Of our missing Parson Lee.

From Dy. Benjamin Il. Could. ddrass boston, on
H1s Return from South i 7nerica-
The glory OF the Southern sky in the region
near the cross is icdescribable. There, where
tho thick stream OF bright stars which skirts the
MilkyWay CROSSES this river OF light, its bEillian
cy ls wondrously increased, and it exhibits
magnifcence une1ualed in any other portion Of
the heavens. There glitter multitude OF
bright stars. more thickly scattered thnn in any
region within our Northern view, while the back
ground Is gorgeous in its splendor. Often on
some clear night when it has suddenly been
brought to my view in passing some edidce OF
turning some street~corner, have stood amazed
atthe flood Of light which it difnsed and often,
too, after leaving the observatory in the early
morning hours, after night OF wearying labor.
have felt reluctant to abandon tee magnificent
spectacle to seek the nauch-needed repose. In
close proximity are the rich cancellations Of the
Centaur, the keel and sails OF the ship Argo, and
the Wolf. and the glory reaches through the
Altar even to the southern portion OF the 8cor-
pion. There are large large tracts which rival
the Pleiades in the profusion of their stars,
cleaning upon background Of nebula. Else
where the Southern heavens ars not 80 brilliant

An exchange says "Jacob Nanatta, one
''of the candidates for the United States
'senatorship in New Jersey, announces that
"neither himself nor the railroad company
with which he is connected will spend
any money to secure his election What
commentary on the course of legislation
and the purity of elections this brief an
nouncement contains . A candidate for
the United States Senate declaring tina. he
and his railroad will expend no money to
secure his election We take it that tue
admission is implied that senatorial seats
are secured in this way, even in New Jer-
sew and thn north We do-'+ l~--' ~ "-'
Mr.. Nanatta would do well to renounce
his candidacy at once. No chance, not the
shadow of chance, remains for him. The
hungry members of the New Jersey legisla-
ture will now flock elsewhere for their little
Prerequisites" Please rememberlthat this
this, VIC are bound to assume that the an.
nouncement is made to democratic lcgisla
tors. They can be bought, he thinks, bu,
he will not buy them. We hope those
Jersey men who rode into Office on the cry
of republican corruption will feel the com
pliment which Mr.. Vanatta has rendered
them-that it is merited compliment WI

BURLINGTON Notes.

A gentleman named Bliss, who formerly
kept a large boarding house in Winooski,
purchased the furniture and fixture of the
Park House on Saturday, and it is said he
will soon open the house. He paid 81 900
for what he got.

to the grief of ii. II. Talcott, Esq, went
through the Ferguson House, Malone a
few days ago and slid off as slyly as when
getting away from Burlington. The oill-
GERS are now on his track, however, and he
will probably soon be in the grasp of the

A sharp game was played on one of tho
Burlington merchants Monday, and this is
the way it was done. A couple of fellows
drove up to the entrance of the store. One
apparently very drunk, got out OF the cut
