THE HAPPY TIME.

No one Is we'll prepared to enjoy any plea
sure In life, until he is for while utterly de-
prived OF The privilege No person so well
appreciates IA physical feast as he who
has had nothing to eat for couple OF days.
The traveller who crosses the barren. sandy.
waterlcss Wills Of Sahara, and whose lips and
throat are scorched with the cruel fever of
thirst prostratcs himself. with feeling akin
to worship. before the shrine ofthe sparkling
riyulet that ripples, In tiny waves before him
and with which he quenchcs the delrious era
wings Of thirst. Think you not he appreci-
ated the blessed liquid more than we who have
never known Of the withering dreadful appe-
tite for drink? The prisoner, who for num-
Der Of years, peeps through the window bars
Of his cell halls with delight the day that sees
him restored to liberty, and the enjoyment Of
the air without; he loves his freedom because
he has been so long deprived of it. The poor
invalid. stretched on bed of pain and tor
ture, for period of months. when health once
more ASSERTS its supremacy, and the life-blood
goes bounding through his veins. pronounces
benedctions on the pleased angel health. lie
knows the value Of it.
Since the close Of the war our whole dar-
ling South has been under the ban of excom.
muniation. We have hungcred for the brea,l
Of peace, but We were never offered q crulnb +;
parched lips and burning throats told how
utterly We longed to sip of the waters OF
friendship but the chalice was always rcfns-
ed us. We were Imprisoned and every indg-
nifty. that could be thought OF, was offered to
US. We were shackled, and our chains rem
dered us pswerless. We could see the light of
the blue heavens without, but the drapery Of
adversty made all dark within.
Now, when we look back on the grim and
gaunt spectre Of the past, and forward to the
xOld-clad angel OF the future in the dim dis
tance-whcn we see the hand Of reconcllia-
tiou extended to us by the North, across that
dreadful chasm that has so long been an I'M
passible barrier between us.--when we read
the burning words Of northern orators plead.
Ing for the cessation OF animosities between
the setions--we feel like throwing i" hi Ii our
ready cap In air." and shouting hosannah
our country is becoming one entire boundary

LETTERS ON CURRENT rOpsCs.
Rutland Fircn,cD.

On the several occasions when the Ques-
ton of eXempting the iiremen Of Rutland
from taxation has been discussed in our town
meetings-it had been urged by the oppo-
nents of this exemption that as the fire
department was designed for the sole and
exclusive benefit of the village, it was I'M
reasonable that the town should he taxed
for its support. In answer 10 this the
friends of the measure, among whom is the
present writer, have maintained that our
gallant firemcn were 'always ready to re-
spond to the call of any fire alarm in any
accessible part Of the town with the same
alacrity with which they answer the calls
within the village. With the ieCollcctions
of these repeated assurances it is a matter
of no small surprise to many, that on the
occasion of the late fire at Center Rutland,
within i mile Of the engine houses, and
with the best road in town, not an engine
or fireman put in an appearance THIS,
certainly, is not very strong confirmation
of the argument of the eXemptionists, and
the case is the more aggravating TO the tax
payers that by this neglect the town has
lost one of Its largest and most expensive
bridges. and one that must I've rebuilt at
once at an extra expense TO the town in
consideration of the season, etc This loss
could have been prevented by small force
of firemen, and but for the remarkable
stiffness of the night, their presence would
have been required in preventing a far
more disastrous conflagration. XYz.
