Brother Knapp, of the Midilebury Reg
lister, has been rcviving his recollection
of Il book which he WAS accustomed to
read in his early Years, with the following
result
In the oldcn times, it is recorded. there
was a great city into which flowed the
wealth of the nations. She WAS the seat
Of royalty and splcndor and wealth I'M
bounded, and her dominlons extended to
the historic ends of the earth. But in
spite of her tceming industries, her COM
mercial enterprise, her wealth, her culture,
her exalted social position, and her power
over the nations. her doom was sealed.
AS Il judgment for her corruptions, her
immense walls were broken down. her
temples and palaces laid low. her indus
tries destroyed, and the prophecy of her
destruction was literally fulfilled. Babylon
was fallen. her streets were deserted and
she became 4 desolation and by-word.
and the habitation of wild beasts, and the
birds of the air built their nests there.
We are reminded of this bit of history by
the records Of one days doinGs in the
tlourishing town of Rutland. Were not
the advent of the fox upon their streets, a
fox hunt within the corporation limits and
the owl in the Bates House, probably
searching for a good place to build her
nest. quite as distinct an expression of
prophetic warning rs the utteranccs of the
old Jewish prophets Rutland should give
heed. When the handwriting appears
upon the wall it may be too late. Ii would
be a pity indeed to have Rutland become
a " bowling Wilderness" the habita,on of
wild beasts, and only place for birds to
build their nests among the ruins.
