THE GOVERNORS scAREoRow.

He was Governor of New England
State north OF Massachusetts. I know
him we'll, and have spoken more than
once from the stump with him. He was
good man, true to the core, but he could
never be fashionable man. He had a
superior education, but. you would not
have thought it to look at HIM. He was
gaunt, muscular and strong; dark of COM
plexion; and, when not smoking, he car
ried his short, black clay pipe in his vest
pocket. Had you asked him what was
his profession, he would have told yo he
was farmer. And he was farmer, and
great fruit grower, too. Directly back
Of his house was magnificent orchard,
wherein he spent much of his time du-
rirg the summer months, usually clad in
a long, faded, ill-setting dressing gown,
reaching almost TO his heels, and fitting
him about as shirt would fiji a handspike.
One day gentleman eXquisitely dress
ed-broadcloth, spotless linen, white and
glossy, but painfully sleek and shining,
and with lavender kids upon bis hands,
called to see the Governor. He was
probably III quest of an office to which
the great man could help him, if said Of
flee was not the Governors to give. Mrs.
Governor answered his summons at the
door, and replied to his inquiry:
He is not in just at present, but if
you will walk in and take seat, / don't
think you will have long time to wait"
The gentleman accepted the invitation
with thanks, and having found himself
seated in plain and comfortably fur-
nished sitting room, he entered into COW
versation with the Governors wife:

"Scarecrow!" repeated the lady, in
surprise. "You must be mistaken. | am

From where the gentleman sat be could
see through the open window into the
orchard. He looked, and just at that
moment he spied a quiet figure, clad in
dingy overalls, long, faded robe futter-
ing in the wind, with fearfully demon
allzed slouched hat upon its head, perch
ed upon branch of one of the trees.
"Ah! there it is now, madame" he
said, pointing to the figure. 81 thought

prefer to seek the Governor in his orch

good lady's time.

FLOWERS In JANUARY.
BY GRACE LELANl

BY GRACE LELANO.
In strange, unwonted mildness shone
The winters sun for many day,
And in some far and frigid zone
The stormy blasts we hid away.
The suns rays warmed the torpid earth,
They woke its pulses from their sleep,
Till out of death grew wondrous birth
And earth, that could no longer keep
Her treasures hidden all from view,
Sighed meath the SUMS too ardent gaze,
And blushed with flowers, that, startled, sprans
To strangely grace these winter days.
So there are natures frosted DER
With many years of selfish care.
That meath some strange, unwonted light,
Bloom out in ove-deeds new and fair.
Oh, blessed thought that every soul,
Howe'er encased in sinful strife,
Hold in it's depths the gems of good
Sweet flowers, that yet shall wake to life.
oh. for more light, more warmth diviney
To wake those blossoms from their sleep !
If but our souls might brighter shine,
With rays to pierce those glooms SO deep !
These stranger guests-these winter flowers
Whisper another thought to me,
of souls who see life's summer hours
And autumn joys too quickly flee;
Who feel stern winter s icy breath
Turn summer bloom to grim decay:
Who yield their treasures up to death,
And grieve to see them pass away;
And 10 the light and warmth stream down
From throbbing skies, till new life thrills
Each fiber of the grief-worn soul,
And all it's dark with blessing fills.
For angel Comforters come near,
And heavenly gifts they downward fling.
Until earth's winter, glad with bloom,
Gives token of tn eternal spring.

1.-The Republicans of Wisconsin, in State

National debt that was incurred in the
presence of organized treason and armed
rebellion, within political party, which
again asplrps to the control of the Gov
ernment, we are opposed to inpairing
the credit of the Nation by depreciating
any of its obligations, and II favor Of
sustaining, IN every way, the National
faith and financial honor. We believe
In honest money that the currency of
the Nation should, as soon as consistent
with business interests and safety, be
made equal TO gold, and uEtil that time
should continue, as now, legal tender.
6. We hold, as of priceless value and
Iof the greatest importance, the common
school system of this country which.
supported by just and equal taxation of
property for the benefit of all, and
accessible 10 the children of citizens of
every nationality, color, condition, or
creed, should be maintained absolutely
free from sectarian control; and that
popular education is the right arm of
National safety, under free and toler-
ant Government, whose guaranty OF lib
Ierty can only be perpetuated while
knowledge pervades the masses.
z. While reiterating our firm devotion
to the principles that were cherished and
established by the American patriots of
177e, as incorporated in their Declaration
| of Independence, in the Constitution of
the Union and in the laws of Congress,
we cannot ignore the fact which is indel-
IDLY written in our national history, that
for the privilege of celebrating the Gen.
tennial of this Republic, the freemen OF
America are indebted not only TO It's
founders, but also to its defenders; and
THAT ii to-day we have country or g
Government whose existence is worth
celebrating, it is because, in the hour OF
! its greatest peril, its interests and wei
| hre were entrusted to a party which
dave no aid or comfort to the enemies OF
Cur common country, and which now
gives the only security or means Tor
present and future safely, prosperity and
honor, as a power for good among the
nations.
s. With renewal of our pledges to
the platform Of principles adopted by
the Republican State Convention IN July
last,we enter upon the campaign of 1876,
with assurances from all directions that
tbe party of law, order, progress and
freedom will achieve another glorious
victory.

Remarkable Longevity.

a tasteful shaft of Rutland marble, from
the shop of Remington and Foster of Wa
terbury, was set up last week in the cem-
etery, and bears the inscription of the
names Of four persons whose united ages
amount TO three hundred and forty-nine
years. Hon. Dan Carpenter, aged seventy
six years; his widow, Betsoy Carpenter,
aged ninety-two years: bis father, Simeon
Carpenter, aged ninety years, and his moth
er Anna Carpenter, aged pinety.one years.
The names are res.ly engraved or cot
tage die, finished with projecting cornioe
and gothic arches. This stands upon q
pedestal OF marble supported by heavy
base of Barre granite. and ia surmounted
by tapering spire, all of which render it
monument of very fine proportions
wrought with artistic skill. Judge Carpen-
ter was one of the prsmiRent men of the
state, and died in 1856, at what is conaid
cred a good old age, seventy.si years,
while his widow, Betsoy Carpenter, a wo.
mad Of rather delicate health In middle life
supposed to be inclined TO consumption
lived on to see her children grow to be
gray headed grandfathers and grandmoth-
ers, ard pass away one by one until there
remained only two; William Carpenter,
Esq, graduate of the university OF Yer
mont, and Julia Dillingham;, the wife of
Hon. Paul Dillingham;, both of whom are
now living in Waterbury. She retained
her faculties at the time of her death, last
November, to very remarkable degree !;

genial and witty in conversation, good
counselor in the church, smother in Is

tional society during the last half century
will abundantly testify. -Montpelier Jour-
