For the VERMONT FARMER
The Good Time Coming.
BY PARVO.

Wonderful things are spoken of the good
time coming" 1t is in the mouth of every
babbler, in the thought OF every dreamer, in
the sermon of every preacher, in the prayer
of every minister, and in the hope of every
worker.
What the good time is to be, and what
good things it is expected to bring. is varied
in definition by the different parties who
answer the query. The law of progress "
is supposed by every supporter OF the idea
to conform as closely TO individual prefer
ences MS though each person was the grand
nidg7'us of the universe.
The Christian prays for the good time
coming in the millennial age, when the
kingdoms of the world shall be given to
Christ, when the Waterman of the church
shall see eye to eye, and virtue actuate, and
holiness crown the speech and actions of all
people.
The philosopher calculates upon "good
time coming" when reason shall reign SUI
preme, controlling all feeling or emotion,
and annihilating all tradition and fable,
when every idea shall be squared by logic
and ruled by axIoms, and man knowing all
that which is movable, shall be content not
to be wise above that which he can't find
out, and standing in mortar in which il
would be useless to bray him, he shall pro-
claim like true Gnser, 81 know it ALI what
don't know amt wuth knowin'.n

Because the Caledonian inlimates that
possibly, Mrs Mcfarland, Of LamOille county,
hung herself on account of her husbands con-
nectlon with grangers and democrats, the
Montpelier Arg'ls says, "the writer betrays
himself as belonging to the lowest order of
human nature" Tho Argrs is generally a
newsy sheet, but that statement is old in this
county. We doubt, however, il the said in
dividual can be recognized as a member in
good standing Of the order alluded to.
There is some manhood even in the lowest
order. Men in that class seldom insult
man in afiliction, or strike man when he is
down. Only cowards-low bred at that
do such thing. Only few weeks since,
G. b. Walker, who had been deprived OF his
last dollar by the burning of his hotel, was
casting about to see how he could earn his
bread, aud looking at house in st. Johns
bury with view to opening it to the public.
The sympathy of the CdiedOnian for ruined
man was expressed as follows GOOD Lord
deliCer as :" That is, deliver US from Geo.
b. Walker. 1t matters little what may be
the editors opinion of the landlord. The
point is that decency and the common in-
stincts of manhOod-where manhood exists
would have prevented the utterance of such
an exclamation over a man overwhelmed in
misfortune and SORROW Union.

Reform School for Girls.

The time may not yet have come for the
legislature to establish school of industry
for girls. But it is not far off Justice and
humanity both require it. There is a class
of young girls in most of our large commu-
mites, in whom the moral judgment has had
no culture, and they are neither able to resist
temptation nor control themselves against
becoming the tempters of others to self.
indulgence and wrong. 1t is for the welfare
of the state that they should be placed where
they would be guarded against themselves,
and protected from others. A school of in
dustry would save multitndes of girls, in the
course Of time, from a life Of shame and SIN,
and would guard our communities from a
pestilence that wIlketh in darkness and is
worse than death. An ounce of prevention
is worth pound Of cure. Both justice and
humanity should be without distinction of
sex. There is ne reason why the reforma-
tory institutions of the state should be exclu-
sively Of the masculine gender. Judges
shrink from sending vagrant aud criminal
girls to the state prison, and with reason.
They would graduate from thence to infamy.
They cannot be seLt to Waterbury and ought
not to be sent there, at any rate. But pro-
vision should be made for them elsewhere
than at Windsor or Waterbury, where they
should be carefully and kindly protected and
nurtured, trained to industry and to honor,
and sent forth into society, not to be its pest
and shame, but the GROWING evidence OF its
fidelity to its trust and its Christian civ
ilization.
Intelligent women of this state who have
had great knowledge in the Home, at Bur-
lington, of this class of girls; of their perils
aud their necessities ; have by person, memo.
rial and petition, urged upon the legislature
the supreme Importance of such an institu-
tion for the weak, vagrant children OF their
own sex. Their appeals were disrogarded
by the legislature at its last session. But
this matter will not be suffered to sleep. The
evil is too great. The necessity for its Grad
ication is too imperious and the duty of the
legislature is too plain. The bill of the last
session was fatally defective in that it Ioca.
ted such an institution at Waterbury, and
put it under the management of the reform
school there. Such location would make
it impossible to administer either institution
successfully, or to the highest advantage of
its inmates. When the legislature establishes
such school, as in time it must aud will, it
will be a hundred miles frow Waterbury,
and the two institutions, cost what they may,
will be the highest homo rot the state and
most fruitful of good to their inmates and to
our general nterests.-Vermont Waterman
The above, the sentiments of which we
heartily endorse, was published before the
special session. 1t will be seen that provis.
ion was made at that session for the school
for girls, but We wish the advice of the
Waterman had been needed and hundred
miles placed between the two institutions.

Peace from kingdom that crowned thee with sorrow

THE GAMBLERS WIFE.

Draw the chair closer. my darling,
For, oh Pm so happy tonight,
Little Sybil and Emma are sleeping
Come, look, what beautiful sight.
This hour every night, when you leave me,
sit here and think all the time,
And how you once promised to love me,
OF the pleasures you said should be mine.
True, darling, you've never denied me
A wish of this heart, all your owns
hut I'm jealous, sometimes, when you tarry,
For I'm thinking how silent you've grown.
Silent oh, yes, you are counting
The losses and gains when at cards;
The tears and the heart-aches discounting,
And the prospect of life It retards.
Whom merry and youthful companions
Are smiling and drinking red wine,
And the money and pasteboard before you,
Does mercy ere give you the sign
The sign of an angel protecting
Two babes and a young wife at home,
The mother is praying and waiting
So silent, so sad, and alone.
The beauty you worshipped has faded,
The brilliant wit ali died away
And my life is just what you've made t.;
Come change it, you can, IL you may.
Come, promise me, darling, forever,
To swear of this gambling IN time,
For Hfe, joy, and health 1t will sever,
And label them all with a crime.
Your father's gray hairs It will whiten,
His steps hasten on to the gravei
Oh, darling, you surely will tighten,
His few sands in lifes cup you'll save.
And the wife of your bosom will murmur
A feryent, "6od bless YOU" and smile,
There, bow your head, tears won't unman you
Rest here, OH this heart without guile.

A New Enemy in the Pennsylvania
Wheat Fields.
From the Lancaster (Pa.) Express, July :.

From the Lancaster Pa.) Express, JULY.
We have recently received from va
rious parts of Lancaster county speci
mems of caterpillars that are at this time
preying upon the ears of wheat. These
are of various colors-a grass green,
straw color and light brown-but all
having white lateral lines from the head
to the end of the abdomen. These diff
ferent colors are only indications of the
different ages or stages of development,
as we demonstrated in specimens which
we reared, and from which we bred the
moths in the summers of 1872 and 1874.
We first noticed them about five years
ago, and from that period to the present
day they are becoming every year more
numerous, and, of course, more de-
structive. These are the "white lined
army worm"-Lucanic albilinea-and
belong to the some genus to which the
famous '.army worm lucania uni
pancta) belongs, which has been so
destructive to the grass crops in the
different parts of the country. These
worms continue feeding on the grains
of wheat and timothy even after they
are ripe, and it seems easy to foresee that
should they become numerous they
may ultimately prove as injurious to the
grain crop as their congeners have been
to the grass crop, unless they should
fall prey to their enemies.

A manly boy is one who shows some
good, manly qualities. We don't ex
pect him to be as large as man, strong
as a man, or as wise as man. But he
will be truthful, honest and we'll be-
haved. He will never speak OF his
father as the governor" or the old
man." nor will he speak of his mother
as the cold woman" He will not be
ashamed to have it known that he loves
both his father and his mother; nor will
he be afraid of all the ridicule which
silly boys may heap upon him because
of this love. They may call him a
"baby," and say what they please about
being "led by his mothers apron
strings" he does not mind that, for he
knows he is right.
He will never engage in low, mean
sports; he loves real sport, but will do
nothing for fun that he would be afraid
to talk about at the dinner-table. He
does not torment small boys, but is
ready to help them when he can. His
sisters are not careful to hide their
work, their books, or their toys from
him, lest he should disturb or destroy
them; he would never think of that.
He is careful not to get greedy at the
table, or rude in company, but remem-
bers that others have rights as we'll as
himself.
Does anybody say this is all very
we'll to talk about, but that no one ever
yet saw such boys as are here describ-
ed2 We answer, ''There are such boys;
plenty of them, and we nave seen
