Temperance Meeting.

That the temperance cause has faithful adher-
ents, even in Montpelier was fully proved by
the Sunday evening meeting. Mr.. j. r. Scavor
presided, and in his brief remarks we recognized
the uncompromising Temperance man who has
contcnded long and yalanty with the foe. He
seemed greatly encouraged by the thought that
there was meeting in the interests Of the same
holy cause at the same hour, on the camp-ground
in Mortified, aud believed favorable Influence
would go therefrom
Mr. Poland spoke earnestly and irustiugIy for
The cause 80 dear to every lover Of humanity
with firm convictions that in the triumph Of tenn
pcrance principles lies our safety as individuals

the God Of right that is not dismaycd at present
defeats or discouNgemcnts, but looks beyond the
smoke Of the battle-ground to the glorious victory

Comfort for the Old Girls.

Helen Of Troy was over forty when she
perpetrated the. most famous elopement on
record, and as the siege Of Troy lasted a
decade she must have been quite elderly
when the i'll fortune of Paris restored her to
her husband, who is reported to have received
her with uncouquering love and gratitude.
Pericles welded Aspasia when she was
thrty-six, aud yet aftervard, for thirty
years or more, held an undiminished reputa.
ton for beauty. Cleopatra was past thirty
when Antony fell under her spell, which
never lessened until her death, nearly zen
years after; aud Livia was thrty-three when
she won the heart Of Augustus, over whom
she maintained her ascendancy to the last
The extraordinary Diand de Poictiers was
thirty.six when Henry III Of France (then
Duke of Orleans aud just half her age)
became attached to her; and she was held
as the first lady and most beautiful woman
at court up to the period Of the monarch's
death and of the accession to power Of Cath.
erline Of Meeeis. Anne OF Austria was

queen Of Europe, and when Buckingham

aud beauty of her day, was the idol Of three
generations of the golden youth Of France,
and was seventy-two when the Able de
Bernis fell in love with her. A rare com.
binaton of culture, talents and personal
attractions endowed their possessor seemingly
with the gifts of eternal youth. Bianco
Capello was thirty-eight when the Grand
Duke Francisco OF Florence tell captive to
her charms, and made her his wife, though
he was FIVE years her junior. Louis XIV
welded Nine dc Maintenon when she was
forty.tbree years of age. Catherine | OF
Russia was thirty-three when she seized the
empire of Russia, and captivated the dashing
young Orlof. Up to the time Of her death
lat sixty-sevenl she seems to have retained
the same bcwitchiug powers, for the lamenta-
tons were heartfelt among those who had
ever known her personally. Mile Mars,
the tragedieune, only attained the zenith Of
her beauty and power between forty aud
forty five years of age, when the lovelness
her hands aud arms, especially, was cele.
brated throughout Europe. Mime Recamier
was thirty.eight when she was, without dis
pute, declared to be the most beautiful
woman in Europe.

Selling a Sled.

A boy had new sled given him, and his
father said he might sell his old one for any
thing be could get for it. That the old sled,

About the worth Of it, there was some diff.
ference Of opinion among the boys, At last
poor boy offered price which Tom, the
owner of Zebra" thought very good
"Will you stick to that2' said Tom. "Yes,
I'll give you so much. I'll bring the money

THE BELL OF ST. JOHNS.

In huge and smoky foundry close by the
wharvcs in the town OF B-.a gang Of

from the top of the tall chimney flashed
unearthly CLEANS upon tho neighboring
windows and housetops.
The scene within the foundry was weird
and almost awful. The swarthy forms of
the workmen, partly lighted by the yellow
glare. moved about like Tartarian shades,
and the sooty beams and ponderOus chains
crossing half black, hal f golden, under the
glowing roof recalled the engines of the
Cyclops under Mt Ktna.
The town clock struck six. 1t was time
