THE NIGHT TIME.

Come with the shadows, gentle night
And fold us In thy blissful calm;
Our eyes grow weary with the light
Shed Ger them thy refreshing balm
From hill and vale, frem wood and palm,
Thy pensive music, soft and low,
Steals DER us like some sweet refrain,
SO restful in Its murmurouS flow.
Come, cloudless Night! Unbar the gates
That hide the wonders OF the skies;
Unlock the starry realm that waits
To CLEAN on our uplifted eyes.
For noise and tumult MI the day,
In all our busy rounds OF care
Let the free spirit soar away,
And wander in these fields OF air.
Come, holy Night we walk alone,
And Wisdom whispers In the ear
How winning Is the heavenly tone!
How blest the soul that bends to hear!

RUTLAND
DAILY AND WEEKLY GLOBE.
VERMONT'S LARGEST AND BEST
NEWSPAPER.

The new year, concentrating the compile
ton OF the first century OF our independence
and witnessing the election OF president and,
for the first time In our history, an entire ma
tlonal house OF representatives, Will be one OF
splendid possibilities both to journalism and
the country,
THE GLOBE will avail Itself OF the former, by
giving the news, late, prompt, fresh and full ;
by impartial comments on the news OF the
hour; by candid honest discussion OF the Is
sues Of the day by full reports of local occur
rences, and correspondence both local and
general by agricultural readings, market re-
ports, and by selections both grave and gay.
In word, the endeavor will be to make THE
GLOBE a live newspaper, indispensable to the
farmer and business man, TO the politician and
student, to the office, counting room and the
family circle.
. That the country may realize the possibilities
seemingly In store for It, we shall on our part,
as In times past, advocate the principles and
policy Of the republican party, as we under
stand them, and, to that end, we shall labor to
make It better and purer by combating its
errors and exposing the wrong-doers In its
ranks. We shall favor and strive for real ad-
mlnistrative reform, n speedy return TO specie
payments, an honest maintenance OF the ma.
lions plighted faith, purer and better politics,
a faithful and economical administration OF the
government, municipal, state and newfoundland
shalt support only honest, capable men for
oflice.
AS an earnest Of the futurc,we can only point
to our course In the past, and assure our pat
rons that hereafter, as heretofore, we shall en-
deavor to make THE GLOBE better and better,
and more and more worthy OF support with
each succeeding month";. What TIE GLOBE
has been during the less than three years OF its
existence is well known, that It has been fully
appreciated It's generous support amply attests.
AS a medium OF advertising, The GLOBE is I'M
surpassed In Vermont. The combined daily
and weekly circulation erceeds that Of any other
daily and weekly newspaper in Vermont the
circulation OF the daily is equal TO that of any
other daily in Vermont the circulation of THE
WEEKLY GLOBE Is much larger than the combined
circulation Of all the other iceekly newspapers in
Rutland county and Is more than one-half
larger than that Of any other weekly journal In
western Vermont. Advertisers make note OF
thisand OF the further fact that 1t is the largest
journal In the state.
