Cares and Responsibilities.

Those who work for wages are very apt to
think that their employers are very much
more fortunate than themselves. From their
standpoint wealth is happiness. The bust
ness man whose energies have surrounded
him with luxuries appears to the laborer to
be in an enviable state. He is unable to
weigh the cares and the responsibilities which
press upon the minds of the men who con-
duct large enterprises. He only sees the
results Of activity. lie judges from appear
ances of the amount of happiness enjoyed.
The wealthiost men are far from being the
happiest ones. They are seldom ontented
they are constantly narrowed with care.
The farmer knows something Of tho rcspon-
sibilty which rests upon him as manager
and provder. He finds it difficult to obtain
men who will think for themselves, who will
relieve him of care. Men who work for
wages give their labor for certain number
Of hours each day. When the work of the
day is closed they are entirely relieved.
They are not oppressed with anxieties for the
future, nor are they fretted with occurrences
Of the past. They draw their pay and have
only to bring their expenses within the fixed
| sum.
They are often inclined to think they work
much harder than the men who manage af-
fairs. They can not estimate the work
which the manager does. Care and respon-
sibiity are not to be avoided. Too few are
prepared to assume responsible positions in
society. Too many are In search of happi-
ness, and are not selfsacrifcing enough to be
absorbed in work. How far man should
live for comfort and pleasure, and how far
he should cngrOss his energies in business
are perplexing questions, but if we are after
camfort and pleasure we are quite sure to
fail in finding them by carrying heavy loads,
even though our efforts are crowned with
business success. We would not depreciate
the troubles which confront the laboror. He
often finds himself oppressed with personal
cares. His anxiety for the welfare and hap
piness of his family, and the desire to secure
for them more comforts are thoughts which
disturb his mind. 1t is cowardly to strive
to avoid care and responsibility. 1t is fool
ish to think that wealth drives them away.
1t is wise for each worker to perform his
labor industriously and thoughtfully and to
render himself more and more useful to his
employers, whether they be business men or
the public. A man who desires to make his
services valuable is pretty sure tc find profit.
able employment, and the more able and
willing he is to share in the responsibilities
Of life the greater his compensation will
be.

During the past three weeks there has
been in this country a series Of international
athletic contests between the United States
and representatives of various foreign
countries. At Philadelphia there has been
a series of rowing contests between several
American crews and crews from Ireland and
England, of these, an American crew, the
Beaver-wyck's of Albany, won the deciding
contest, with the London crew second. The
Yale college crew also covered itself with
glory. At the famous shooting range Of
Creedmoor, N. Y, there was, last week, a
contest for the championship Of the world
between representative teams from Scotland,
ireland, Australia, Canada, and the United
States. In this contest the Americans for
the third time retained the trophy of the
worlds championship. Such contests can
not but be productive of good feeling between
the several countries. In the splendid CEN
tennial buildings at Philadelphia, all the
important nations Of the world vie with
each other in competing for superiority,in the
various departments of art, manufactures and
agriculture. While these exhibitions should,
Of course, engage the chief attention of the
people, yet there should be some interest
manifested in these athletic sports Of the
several countries. 1t cannot be denied that
such contests as those of the past few weeks are
productive of interest and instruction, with
few Of the pernicious effects which are charged
with accompanying the college reglttas at
Saratoga. For the progress that each ma
ton makes in the respectable sports and
pastimes show to some extent the standing
of its countrymen as a race of vigor, strens th
and energy, things not to be lightly re-
garded. Then while we pay our chief re-
CARDS to the sterner duties of life, it will
do no harm to note the results and
comparisons made by the several nations il
athletic sports. The United States is ahead
so far. Let her keep ahead.

Intelligent Euglishmen who have returned

An alarm in the London Times. "a Manu-.

the purpose, skilled workmen from each Of
these countries, giving preference, however,
to those Of England and they are rapidly
training an army of skilled workmen for
themselves. can say, from my own knowl-
edge as practical man, and from the state

in the departments Of iron, wool, cotton, and
a certain class of silk they can produce work

We have received from II. p. Thompson,
proprietor Of the Moundale Herd, Thompson,
Ky, the catalogue Of the sale of Bates and
Princess Shorthorns, which is to occur the
eleventh Of October. From cursory ex-
animation of the catalogue we see that he has
a very fne herd of cattle, and one which
will attract breeders Of thorough-breds from
all parts Of the country. Might it not be
good idea for some Of ou~ Vermont breeders
to attend this and some Of the other sales
occurring about the same time in the same
stated No one who is interested in the i'm.
provemeut of our Vermont stock can fail to
be grati6ed at the increased attention given
to this matter as revealed by orr state and
county fairs. And when we remember that
it costs but little more to breed and raise
good stock than an inferior grade, the hest
fancy of our people in respect of this matter
is something quite surprising.

On Friday Of last week the "Old South"
church of Bosten was sold for 100000, to
be preserved for historic museum. The
trustees imposed as one essential condition
on the purchasers a pledge that it should not
be used for Sunday church services at least
for some thirty years. 1t is cause for great
rejoicing that this venerable structure is to
be saved, for providence has made its very
walls eloquent with lessons Of patriotism
such as no orations or library of orators con-
tains. As the weather-scarred and storm
beaten mountains of Switzerland and Scot
land and our own New England, were reared
and sculptured and toned by the Creators
hands as integral factors of these nations,
histories, so his providence gives to these old
historic landmarks q moral prominence
whose value cannot be expressed in the YER
nacular Of the marts Of trade. The price
paid for the Old South-S400, 000--seems
large for one building in these times, but
New England had better pay twice that
amount rather than suffer the demolition of
such ancient structures, whose every brick
and stone is fragrant with memories which
we cannot suffer to perish.
1t has occurred to us that the tenacity of
the trustees on the point Of not holding Sun
day services in this venerable sanctuary was
a significant commentary on their former
reason for going to the church crowded
South End, that no cOngratulation could here
after be gathered in the old church But
then, we never could understand Boston the
ology, and this event fails to throw light
upon the subject.

One sensible man has recently died.
Rufus r. Graves, a wealthy citizen Of New
York. His good sense and flial regard
showed itself in gift of $4,000 to purchase
a Zee library for his native town, Sunder-
land, Mass $1,000 additional as an en-
dowment fund for the same. No other gift
could have been made which will render so
valuable and enduring service to the peo.
pie of Sunderland. The Fletcher free
library of Burlington and the Fairbanks
Atheneum of st. Johnsbury stand alone in
their greatness, while lesser benefactiOns
bless on the moro limited scale, other COM
munities. Ex.Mayor HosGord of Lowell,

The disgusting scandal did not seem to
keep people from our Fair Tuesday to hear
Mr.. Beecher; in fact the majority regard
him as innocent, though of course every
roue believes him guilty, apparently on the
ground that if Mr.. Beecher is guilty his own
criminality would be thereby excused. The
large attendance Tuesday afternoon, in spite
Of the rain, was popular tribute to Mr..
BeecherS moral worth, and recognition of
his great services to our common humanity.
Every one who listened to his eminently
sensible address felt drawn to MIN as to q
brother. His illusions to the bright Side
Of Farming" we're numerous and opposite,
and can but stimulate the farmers who lis
tened to a more cheerful, healthful, and use
full life, while his lucid discussion of the in
fation theory will not soon be forgotten.
No farmer, surely no farmers boy, will for
get the story of "blowing up bladder and
the significant conclusion that you have no
more bladder after the initiation than before.
1t is by these practical homely thrusts of
solid chunks of logic full into mems minds
that Mr.. Beecher exerts his wondrous power
over popular audience : there is no COM
ing down to the farmers level,-rather a
coming up to his broad, manly common
sense. We wish there were moro ministers
Of Mr.. Beechcr's agricultural tastes, and
more farmers with his CHEEKY, hopeful spirit
both farming and theology would be the
better.
