For the past few days astronomers in va.
rious parts of the world have been trying to
find the planet Vulcan, supposed to be cross
ing the face of the sun about this time. If
they do not succeed in finding it they will
come to the conclusion there is no such
planet, though it was discovered, apparently,
several years ago. II such be the case, how
like to the lives and plans Of some men will
the occurrence be. As the existence of the
planet has been accepted, its position deter
mined and calculations basel upon its place
in the heavens made, so men have, appar-
emily, made some great discovery that will
lead them to happiness, honor, fame, wealth,
everything that man could desire. They
follow their object year after year it is the
beacon light of their existence their sole
hope for the future and the Guide of all their
actions. Yet the time comes when their
hopes are dashed to the ground, the bubble
has burst, the star has become extinguished.
No more will it be the leader on to fame or
happiness for the unhappy dreamer. Though
nothing has been taken away, yet there is
nothing where before he saw everything.
Yet the planets roll on conscious of no change,
nothing disturbs the sereneness of the
spheres. The sun rises and sets on the same
world that it did before. Nothing is
changed, nothing different. So it is with
the world, when the most darling hope of
man is taken away. The busy world goes on
careless and forgetful. Great occurrences,
whether productive of good or bad are per-
haps remembered for day and then for
gotten. The business of the great mart is
conscious Of no interruption. The scholar
in his study and the soldier in his tent pur-
sue their occupations without one thought for
those to whom the world is now a blank
Those in the immediate vicinity of men
like those spoken of, may remember, sympa-
thize and help. But the world at large is
oblivious. But, if perchance, the dreamer
is successful, all is different. All eyes are
turned to the consultations of the world, as
it were, to see the new star, the new planet
that is presented to their notice. But how
many instead of proving suns or planets to
enrich the beauty OF the world, are mere
meteors that blind US for the moment and
then re forever lost in oblivion

Gov. Fairbanks Message.

A most interesting document is Gov.
Fairbanks message, of which we print copi-
Gus extracts in another column. 1t was pre-
scented to the legislature last Thursday, when
the Inauguration of the governor took place.
1t is fully imbued with the spirit Of reform
for which, 10 some departments, there seems
to be ample room despite the honest govern
meDt and careful legislation that Vermont
has always enjoyed. Though quite long,
the message does not more than fully treat
of the subjects mentioned in the message
One Of the most important articles, left out
on account of limited room, is that on the
system on which our prisons and jails are at
present conducted
Though great reforms have been made in
the prison of late years, the governor
rightly thinks that the system ought to be
still further changed. He thinks that
"while tho state has been most active in
showing adherence of crime, it has been
lacking in earnest efforts to save the GRIM
inal from his crime to manhood and good
citizenship"
The criminal before trial is treated in all
respects as if he had been tried and con-
victed instead OF only being accused of a
crime. And after conviction too few efforts
are made to reform criminals aud make hon
est citizens of them. Instead of this they
are treated in such way ~ to make Hom
more hardened and worse criminals than be.

(which furnished large amount Of interest
ing reading" This was discontinued in the
year 1876, and has never since been pub.
lished. Now, there is nothing Of this kind
to take its place.
These things which would do much to
alleviate and better the condition Of the pa
tients are all omitted and the asylum sect
to be run only to make money. In conclu-
sion the doctor recommends that the state
should build an asylum to be under its own
control and management, and that the stat.
utes in regard to such an institution should
be revised and consolidated. He also says
that greater care should be taken in regard
to the admission Of persons to the asylum,
that it should be fully ascertained whether
the parties arc really fit subjects for the
asylum before they are confined within its
walls.
Altogether the report does not give a
very fattering account Of the way in which
thing are conducted at Brattleboro. The
things should be looked into and all proper
changes be made, for there is no class OF
persons upon whom we should bestow more
care aud attention than upon the unfortu-
nate insane. We trust the subject will be
carefully considered at the present session Of
the legislature.

The Vermont Legislature.

The legislature met on Wednesday of last
week, and on Thursday completed its organ
ization. The senate reelected all its old
officers with the exception of Mr.. Baldwin,
of Barton, who was elected secretary. Gen.
W. w. Grout was elected president pro
tenn Of the senate. All the senators were
present. Ii. G. Belden of st. Johnsbury is
the youngest member Of the senate, being
but 30 years Of age. OF the senators, 25
are native Vermonters nine are lawyers,
six farmers, four manufacturers, three mer.
chants, two retired from business, one rail-
road contractor, one bookseller, one banker,
one clergyman and one editor.
In the house, there was little more diff
ference of opinions in regard to the choice of
officers. There was little opposition to the
choice of ex-Gov John w. Stewart of Mid
dlebury as speaker. The democrats cast
their votes for j. w. Bliss of Bradford. In
voting for clerk of the house there was
much closer vote. Mr.. Chapman of Yer.
gennes and Mr.. Camp Of Newport were the
principal candidates for this effice. Mr.
Camp had been clerk for several terms and
had fulfilled his duties very satisfactorily,
but many of the members thought there
should be rotation, and Mr.. Chapman was
elected by small plurality on the second
ballot. This legislature is said to be very
superior one. Somehow they always are.
We hope they will prove themselves worthy
of the good opinion expressed of them. The
farmers cannot complain of being neglected
in the making up Of the legislature, over
half the members being Of that class. Moth
ing of any Importance has as yet been &C
complished, though several important ques-
tions will come up in due time. The legis-
lators are allowed two daily and one week. y
newspaper free of charge, and some body
wants the daiIes reduced to one for each
person, on economic principles.

twenty years, troubled all the time with break

fore. While this may be true, we cannot
help thinking that criminals are used much
better than in some state prisons. But it is
IN the county Jail system that the governor
thinks there should be the most reform. He
advocates the wOrk-house in connection or as
a substitute for the jail as most likely to
maintain the health, good behavior, and as
help in the reformation of criminals
character.
This, with those printed elsewhere, are
the principal topics Of tho governors mes
sage, and we hope the suggestions therein
will be advocated by the people, and acted
upon by the legislature, thus make the
government of the state Of Vermont still
better pattern for others Of the United
States.

If the causes of failure where plants are Gull

to be watered until it is Ia n fit condition to
receive a liberal supply of that element, a
good drainage being previously scared, IN
order that all superabundant water may be
carried off. Those who are constantly orb

upon their plants will not have then in
Furnishing condition for any length of time.
This must be obvious to all, for it is quite evil
dent that the moderately small quantity of
water frequently given keeps the surface Of the
soil moist; while at the same time, from the
effects of the good drainage, which is essen
tial to the well being OF all plants in an arti-
fetal state all the lower roots would perish
for water, and the plant would become s,ckly
and eventually die In many instances when
the contents of flower pots are sprinkled daily
with water, the soil IN the middle will become
hard and dry When the ball of earth be-
comes dry it takes water long time to pene-
trate it, and the surface waterings do not &C
complish the object. In this case set the pot
in pail OF water and let it soak until thel
earth Is thoroughly wetted. Ifproper care in
the respect above mentioned fails to induce al
proper growth, then the plant must be re-pot-
ted with fresh earth, and have a portion OF It's
top cut back, Irregularities in shape must DE-
corrected from time to time by pinching OIL
the shoots which may start to grow out OF

only neglected plants will suffer from this
cause. The mealy bug is so large that it may

Watering must be properly attended to; and
while the plant must not suffer from lack

and to supply water at the proper time. Plants
growing in cold atmosphere will be found
to flourish much better by giving them water
which is almost hot. House plants that have
bloomed freely during the winter should be
denied their usual supply OF water, and be
placed in the open air for few hours during
the middle of bright days, If this course isl
