To the Ladies.

Noticing that the type composing the word
duties" are becoming rather worn and in.
distinct. we would like to suggest to tho
ladies' column, talking to the little ones Il
while. To open the way. we will tell the
very small children something of little Jen-
ny. Who will tell Jenny, of some 9th.
er little chatter-boxP
Jenny Talking 10 Mamma.
Mamma says. "Jenny you must stop your
play and dress your feet or you will certainly
take cold and be sick"
"Well want to go and see God"
"But don't think God will want TO see n
little girl who doesn't mind he + mother"
Jenny said no more but went rather reluc-
family for her shoes and stockings; then sat
down to play with her dolls.
Talking TO DOIIIs.
Didn't tell you not to put your leads in
your mouth Now shall shut you up"
One dollie remarks: 81 want pink sash
too. she has got one"
"No, that one is good enough. Do you
want me to draw you by-and-byP Baby is
going to be drawed. There SIT in there good
won't let you fall out" Placing them in
a pasteboard wheelbarrow for tho ride.
They all got back safely from their ride,
but the dolls like children sometimes, did
not seem to feel much better for going out,
and needed reprooi directly on returning.
'Ah! ali! don't you say another word to
mamma-Hired girl go and put her in the
dark ROOM" Pretty soon is heard little
squeaking call
"Hired girl come and let me out, shant
be good II you don't let me out!" says dol
lie.
Don't you let her come out, because she
says she won't be good says the miniature
mamma.
From the dark room again; "Well, Idont
care, shall play l live here and that it's
light here"
That last speech was overpowerIng and
dolle was released from her confinement,
and things went on smoother afterwards.
Soon little playmate came in; then the ti,-
BILE must be set. A doughnut cut up IN little
slices, some bread cut in squares, piece of
butter on tiny plate, the big "teatOp" drain
ed into the little one, and the cup of sugar
and little pitcher Of milk, composed the bill

before woel; had passed the third bear was
killed in the Same spot, the balls all being
shot into the stump. David remarked that
It was " great shootin' for a stump"
by that time the bears had learned David's
trick and none Of them could be induced TO
enter the field In that direction. But David
persevered In hunting, and between his
spring gun and sleeping ltrick, he harvest
Cd seven full grown bears before his crops
were all housed. Aterward he cut the three
balls from the stump and preserved them.
These incidents were furnished me BY es-
teemed residents of st. Johnsbury. They
were associates of David Mann and they still
live to relate his singular adventures.

Plainneas in Dress.

At session Of Black River Grange
Sister ID. A. Locke was requested by
the lecturer toAuswcrlt a subsequent meet
ing this question: Would it not be well for
the ladies of the grange to wear print dresses
to church," Answered rs follows, May 10 :
The question, Would 1t not be well TO
wear print to church," to my mind was n
very sensible one, and was ready 10 respond
in the affirmative.
The prints we buy now are such pretty
patterns that they are becoming to any one,
and we can find colors to suit any complex
ion. Light prints for summer do up so nice
ly they would look new for a long time; our
dark prints do not look quite as well after
washing. but we could keep one dress for
church and wear it many times without do
ing up. 1t seems more becoming to dress
plainly for church, than it does to wear such
expensive clothing AS TO discourage the poor
er class from coming; they SEQ 80 much con.
trast that they stny away.
Let us rise above style and fashion, unless
we have one of our own. There is such per-
feet union among us as Patrons that IL good
idea is suggested all are ready to adopt It at
once, and our numbers are SO large that
with little independence we can make the
styles and fashions to suit ourselves.
think It very becoming to us to have
economy our ruling motive in all financial
affairs, for we all know that farming, al.
though an honorable and high calling. has
always demanded the strictest economy to
lay anything by for rainy days and old age
And now us we are stepping into the light of
better times, let us put forth every effort to
help and encourage each other. that we may
the sooner gather in the reward of our labor
would like to have some one suggest at
the next council that we all wear print to
the gathering at Lyndonville.
THE grange voted thanks to sister Locke,
and requested the publication Of her answer
in the VERMONT FARMER.

A HUNTER GENIUS.
BY +. Il. GAGE.

David Mann was genius. He was one
OF those eccentric specimens of humanity
that may occasionally DO met with in all
ages of the world. David Mann was just
like David Mann, and like no one else on
earth. Therefore, David Mann's way of do
ing every thing was original, unique, and
amusing.
David Mann lived in the town of Water
ford, VT, nearly seventy years ago. when
that region was mostly bowling wilderness
His father bought a piece OF land about
mile south of where the village of East St.
Johnsbury now is. He erected log house
and cleared few acres of land on which
he raised whatever he needed.
He had other sons, but David was the &C.
mus OF the family. David did not like work
very well. He preferred to spend most of his
time hunting and fishing lie was a great,
loose7jointed, shuflling fellow, so slow and
immensely awkward one would never sup
pose he could succeed at such sport. But
David did succeed beyond anybody else in
that region. David possessed courage, pa
tience, aud ingenuity.
An incident related to me by one of the
sons of Capt. +. of that town, is so good On
illustration of David's ingenuity. that can
not forbear inserting it here, though not es-
sential to my story.
When David was some seventeen years
old he was hired out to Capt. F. One day
Capt F. set David and an older boy named
John cutting bushes out of the woods. 1t
was hot day in August. John felt sleepy
alter dinner and set down in the shade of
some trees to rest, while David went on
with the work. An hour passed. John not
returning, David went to look for him. lie
found him Hat on his back fast asleep, his
arms and legs sprawled out IN all directions.
Ills position was so suggestive that David
cut awicopy shrub, and stripped of the tough
bark. Next he contrived to bend four sap
lings down. tying one to each of Johns arms
and legs. These saplings were in some way
held down by a lever, and the lever placed
in such position that John could not move
without setting the whole thing Off.
Having completed the arrangement, Da-
vid went down the bank just out of sight,
and counterieiting voice frantic with ter
ror, shrieked out; John! John there's
bear comingW
David's shrek produced the desired effect.
John, startled from sleep, attempted to rise,
and he did rise. The four bent saplings all
lifted their bowed heads at the same mo-
ment, and up he went more than ten feet,
sprawled out in the air with head hanging
down.
John had to plead a long time before Da-
Vid consented to cut down the saplings and
relieve him, he paying David half dollar
not to tell Capt F. of it while they worked
there. Finally when David did tell Capt.
f., he exclaimed; AS live, David, YOU
were great fool once in your life. You
only got half dollar for keeping still, but
would have given you whole dollar If you

THE MOTHERS PRAYER.
BY MATTE LAWRENCE.

Softly kneeling by the cradle,
Where my little darling sleeps,
With nights shadows all about me,
And the stars their vigils keep;
And though all is perfect silence,
Stlll know that Thou art here,
And humbly, at Thy footstool,
Bring my every care and fear.
Thou hast lent this little treasure,
And, though short has been its stay,
would ask that It be spared us
Through long years, for this pray;
For around my heart is twining
Loves strong tendrils, sweet and pure;
They will stronger grow, and stronger.
While this aeeting life endures.
Watch and guide its wandering footsteps,
De safeguard sure and strong;
Bid temptation fee before II,
Keep it from deceit and wrong;
Nay the world with its vain pleasures
Never lure II from the right;
And may every precept taught 1t,
Lead 1t toward the world Of light
Give me wisdom, Heavenly Father,
So that its mind may lead
Toward the fount Of truth and knowledge
Sow the good, the fruitful seed
FIJI its heart with love and reverence,
Teach its lisping tongue to pray;
Lead it ever onward, upward,
Gaining wisdom day by day.
More I'd ask, but in Thy wisdom
Thou dost know Its every need
And pray that Thou will keep it,
And its waiting soul will feed.
And when life with It is ended,
Take it home with Thee to reign,
And with all the throng seraphic,
Ever chant Thy praise, Amen.

Every true hero grows by patience. Peo-
pie who have always been prosperous are
seldom the most worthy, and never in moral
excellence the most strong. lie who has
not been compelled TO suffer has probably
not begun to learn how to be magsaninlous;
US II Is only by patience and Tortitude that
we can know what 1t is to overcome evils or
feel the pleasure Of forgiYing them.

A loving heart and a pleasant countenance
are commodities which man should never
fail to take home with him. They will best
season his food and soften his pillow. 1t
were great thing for man that his wife
and children could say of him =" lie never
brought frown or unhappiness across his
threshold"

THE PARTICULARS,


Nv. Touching Mr.. Beecher's renewed
demands for impossible particulars, l
here repeat in substance what my coun-
sci presented before the court a fort.
night ago, in prompt fulfillment of
their pledge to supply at half hour S
notice all the particulars which we pos.
sessed. They are these: That the
Rev. Henry Ward Beecher committed
acts Of adultery with Mrs. Elizabeth R.
Tiiton Oh the 10th and 18th of October.
1868, and at intervals thereafter till the
spring Of 1870; that the said acts were
committed at 124 Columbia street and
ia Livingstone street, in the city Of
Brooklyn; that confessions Of these
acts were made by Mrs. Tilton on the
Sd Of July, 1870, and at other times !;
that similar confessions were made by
Mr.. Beecher on the 30th of December,
1870, and at other times; that the con-
fessions of Mrs. Tilton were made to
Mrs. Martha B. Bradshaw, Mrs. Emma
r. Moulton, Mr.. Francis D. Moulton,
myself, and others; that the confess
sions of Mr.. Beecher were made to Mr..
and Mrs. Moulton, myself, and others
to say nothing Of series of Mr..
Beecher's letters, by which he makes
plain confession Of his guilt to all who
can read and think.
rHEoDoRE's DEMANDS.
And | respectfully submit that the
statement Of particulars, Of which the
foregoing is digest, and which was
laid by my counsel before the court and
the public many days ago, is sufi-
GENTLY explicit to warrant me in now
demanding that Mr.. Beecher shall
either be estopped by public opinion
from imposing unheard-of restrictions
on my evidence in the civil case, or
else that he shall! forthwith begin his
criminal prosecution.
Furthermore, I ask all just men to
join with me in declaring that, if Mr..
Beecher shall still further clog and ham
per the civil action on the one hand,
and at the same time shall withdraw
the criminal prosecution on the other,
thus using both these cases only to pre-.
vent me from submitting to jury the
general fact Of his long.continued adul-
terry, Mr.. Beecher shall then be deemed
to have confessed judgment, and must
stand self-acknowledged as guilty be-
fore the civilized world.

Origin of Plants.

The common garden pea and the field
pea are natives of the south of Europ
and of the East. Celery grows will
in most parts of Europe. The potato
came from South America. Cabbage
is native of Europe, growing on the
rocky shores of Britain and on the coast
of the Mediterranean. The onion orig
mated either in India or in Egypt, in
both of which countries it has been
cultivated from time immemorial. The
turnip is native of Europe and Asia.
Spinach was introduced into Europe by
the Arabs. The tomato is natural
production Of tropical America. The
world is indebted to Asia for the rad.
ish. The beet is Indigenous in the tenn
perate parts Of the Old World. The
pumpkin and the squash, suppos-
ed to be varieties of one orig
inal species, are natives of Tropical
Asia. The bean has been in cultiva-
ton from SO remote a period that it is
difficult to determine whence it origin
ated, but it is doubtfully referred to the
shores of the Caspian Sea for it's print
tive locality. Maize is supposed to be
native Of America. Melons have
never been discovered in a wild state,
but are supposed to have sprung pri-
marily from the soil of Sub-Tropical
Asia. The same doubt obscures the
origin of lettuce, but it is considered a
native Of the East Indies. The pars
nip first drew breath in England. The
carrot is found wild in most parts of
Europe. The home of the eggplant is
IN the East Indies. Satisfy, or oyster
plant, is found in meadows throughout
Europe. Parsley grows on old walls
and wells in the south Of Europe. Cauli-
flower and kale are varieties Of the
cabbage.
