Two little hands that
Were made for caressing
Clasped now 50 softly
Their mute love confessing.
Two little blue eyes
No longer revealing
That which the closed lids
From US is concealing.
Two little white lips
Used to our kissing.
Oh, the sweet baby ways
That we are missing.
Yet we who loved him
Know he's but sleeping
Angels shall take him
To wake in Gods keeping.

Burlington and LamOllle Railroad.
NEW ROUTE PROPOSED.

NEW ROUTE PROPOSED.
FAIRFAX, Vt, Jan. 26, 1875.
To the Editor Of the Free Press and Times:
At the present time these seems to be con-
siderable discussion a to the feasibility of
of the different routes for railroad from
| Cambridge to Essex junction. | am in
formed by those who profess TO know, that
| it i, only one iuile further 10 go by the way
| Of Fairfax Falls and Westford, than it is to
20 through Underhill and Jericho. IL this
| is the fact, there would be very large
amount Of money saved by locating the
road through Fairfax ard Westford, for this
route i. much more feasible than the other.
| But there j. another consideration of more
Importance, perhaps. than the building Of
| the road The business to be secured BY the
road when built, Is very important item.
When men invest money they usually look for
an income, either by dividends or additional
| facilities for trade and commerce. Burling-
| ton aud s.. AlhanS are rivals for the trade
of the people Of this community. If this
road should be located through Fairfax, it
would at once secure large amount of trade
to Burlington that now goes to St. Adams,
| and that trade would also give patron
age to the road. Again, let Us look 1t the
| business of the merchants, mechanics and
tradesmen. We have at Fairfax village
! FIVE well conducted stores. keeping a general
assortment of goods and doing good bust
ness.
| We have one grocery store, one tannery
doing large business, two grist mills.
which keep and sell q large amount Of
| Western grain and feed, furniture store,
| one stove and tin ware store, with the usual
number Of mechanics of the different trades
At the close of the year of 1873. there had
been paid for butter in this village over
800 COO have not the statistics of the
| butter trade Tor the last year. but from
what information | have, am sure it was
more than the year previous.
At Fairfax Falls, Messrs. Gaut K Shep-
ardson have fiourishing wooden factory,
also at the Falls one store, grist mill, and
Touring mill. doing good business This
business all finds an outlet at Georgia, four
miles from this village, and six miles from
the Falls Ii is but reasonable to suppose
that should there be depot at Fairfax
! Plain. only one mile from the village, and
near the Falls, nearly all of our bust
ness would be done over that road, and the
trade from this place and Fletcher would
Just - naturally 20 to Burlington, as the
Lamoiilc river flows toward Lake Cham
plain.
Fletcher has two stores, and is an excel
lent dairy town. furnishing large amount
of butter, also pork and maple sugar,
which will find the best facilities for get
ting 10 market There is already quite a
large jObbing between the merchants of
Fairfax and Burlington, which will be
greatly increased if We could have better
facilities for ireighting our goods.

NEBRASKA RELIEF. - The story of the
"Grasshopper Plague" of last summer has
been too often told to need repetition.
Briefly. FOR more than a thousand square
miles in sections OF Kansas and Nebraska,
almost every green thing was entirely de-
stroyed. 1t was thought in the case OF
Nebraska that the portions Of the State I'M
harmed would DO able to provide for the
sufferers within their State limits, and ar
efficient aid society, with headquarters at
Omaha, was established. But 50 wide
spread and thorough was the devastation
that they now find themselves unable to
meet the demands for instant and urgent
relief. Rev. Simon Barrows, brother of the
Rev. DR.. Barrows, of the American Home
Missionary Society, writing from Osceola.
Polk county, Neb says There is more
restitution than was looked for. A good
many depend upon on their corn crop, not
only for sale and feeding their stock. but
also for their fuel-and 50 far as can learn,
not one car of corn was raised this year in
this county. Some are receiving boxes of
clothing from personal friends, but more
than half the families in the county nave
not clothes enough to make them comfort
