Cruelty to Animals.

There is great hue and cry In
some papers about the wicked and
wanton cruelty Of women in wearing
the prepared skins of birds on their
hats. 1t is the same old story over
again, "The woman tempted me, and |
did eat" Who IS it that kills the
birds and dresses their skins, and who
conceived the idea Of using them for
adorning the head-gear Of woman !
Not woman III be bound. More
likely some sagaciously, wicked man,
who saw a market ahead for all the
birds he could trap and skin alive.
Woman is not cruel-the sight OF
pain is repulsive and shocking to her.
She wears birds and feathers on her
hat, to be sure, and that she does
sometimes overleap the bounds OF
good sense in following fooling fash
ions we will freely admit; but con-
vince her that she is doing cruel
thing, and she will abandon it. She
would not wantonly kill bird and
pluck it's feathers for the adornlnent OF
Spirit of the age. [volume] (Woodstock, Vt.) 1845-1913, 1876-06-14

The mighty Blaine hath fallen and
another long-honored and respected
leader OF a virtuous and rege,ferate
political party is added to the already
plethoric and formidable list of those
whom the infamous exposures OF the
past few years have laid low. The
lamented, fell in the full flush of we'll
matured vigor of noble manhood
fell in his armor, in heat of the con-
fict-and as fhe body lies in state,
those who quietly pass in procession,
to take one last, fond, sad look, of
their great Chief will hardly fail to
note the rosy hue of apparent health
that mantles his full-grown cheek, and
the grim but ghastly smile Of virgin
innocence, that plays half unconscious
ly round his well-cut capacious mouth,
as he sleeps the last sleep, or reposes
in the peaceful arms of death. Fell
pierced to the heart by the relentless
messenger of deaeh; but tho the
great charge must havesbeen instanta-
neous, yet did the best of medical
skill labor long and faithfully to bling
him back to lite, or to find some indi-
cation, however remote or faint, which
might afford hope of life to his many
friends.
Valiently did he fight his last fight
but the odds were too heavily against
him, and the great heft OF the prodig.
ious armor which he bore, must have
proven too much for him on the final
charge wherein he fell. And as he
fell in the full pride OF his loyal
strength and illustrions fame, so will
his mighty name live forever, en-
shrned in the hearts of all ''trooly 10y.

the lamented sacrificed his all, and in
whose cause he died a willing martyr,
shall have passed away amid the cha
os of regeneration. "HERvEY.

Gods Love HnexhaustibIc.

Suppose a meadow IN which a mil
lion daisies opened their blossoms all
at one time to the sun. On one of
them, while it is yet bud, a little
stone has fallen. At once crushed
and overshadowed, it still struggles
bravely against all odds to expand its
petals like the rest. For many days
this effort is continued without success.
The tiny stone "a mighty rock to the
tiny howers) squats on its breast, and
will not admit single sunbeam. At
length the fowerstalk, having gath
cred strength by its constant exertion,
acquires force enough to overbalance
the weight, and tosses the intruder off.
Up springs the daisy with bound,
and in an instant another howeret is
added to the vast multitude which in
that meadow drink their fill of sun
light. The sun in the heaven is not
incommoded by the additional de-
mand. The new conner receives into
its open cup as many sunbeams as it
would have received, although no
other flower had grown in all the
meadow-in all the earth Thus the
sun, finite though it be, helps us to
understand the infnitude of its Maker.
When an immortal being, long crush
ed and turned away by load of sin,
at length, through the power of a
new spiritual life, throws off the bur
den, and opens with bound to re.
ceiye Heavenly Fathers long-offered
but rejected love, the giver is not i'm.
poverished by the new demand upon
His kindness. Although a thousand
millions should arise and 90 to the Fa-
ther, each would receive as much of
that Fathers love as if he alone of all
fallen creatures had come back recon
ciled to God.-[ Rev. VIM. Arnot.

What the Birds Accomplish.

The swallow, swift and nighthawk
are the guardians of the atmosphere.
They check the increase of insects
that otherwise would overload it.
Woodpeckers, creepers and chlcka-
dees are the guardians Of the trunks
of trees. Warble.s and fly y-catchers
protect the foliage. Blackbirds,
thrushes, crows and larks protect the
surface of the soil. Each tribe has its
respective duties to perform in the
economy of nature; and it is an un-
doubted fact, that, If the birds were
all swept off from the earth, man could
not live upon it, vegetation would
wither and die, insects would become
so numerous that no living being
could withstand their attacks The
wholesale destruction occasioned by
the grassnoppers, which have lately
devastated the West, is undoubtedly
caused by the thinning out of the
birds, such as grouse, prairie hens,
ETC., which feed upon them. The
great and nestimable service done to
the farmer, gardener and florist by
the birds is only becoming known by
sad experience. Spare the birds and
save your fruit; the little corn and
fruit taken by them is more than COM
pensated by the vast quantities of nox-
ious insects destroyed. The long
perecuted crow has been found by
actual experiment to do far more good
by the vast quantity of grubs and in
sects he devours than the little harm
he docs in few grains Of corn he
pulls up. He is one of the farmers
best friends.

For the SPIRIT OF THE AGE.
Oh the Future State

The my stery TINT surrounds the
tomb and the condition of the human
race in the future world, are subjects
that have often been discussed by the
sages and philosophers of every EN-
lightened nation Yet a veil of deep
gloom hangs over their destiny. We
cannot push aside that veil and pierce
with our vision the darkness that over
shadows the unseen world. But when
the dark winged angel has borne our
spirits across the dark waters Of death,
then shall we know our fate in the
great beyond. As number Of our
sages (whose shoes | am not worthy
to unloose) have favored the public
through the AGE with their opinious,
concerning the condition of the hu
man race in the future state, if you
will allow your humble servant little
space, he too will add his mite to the
great mass that has gone before.
All things were made by wisdom,
and by wisdom are all things gov
erned, and the more of it we obtain
here, the more of the spirit of God
we shall possess, and the more god
like we shall be when we have passed
the dark valley.
At the creation, man was OF the
earth earthly, until the God of wisdom
breathed the breath of life into his
nostris, he then became living soul.
And who will say that that spirit or
soul is not just as pure as at the day
of creation? l dare not, for the spirit
that was breathed into man on the
day of creation was the very essence
of God himself and cannot become
impure but when this old earthly
body shall be laid away in the silent
tomb to mingle with its mother earth,
then shall the spirit return to the
Spirit of the age. [volume] (Woodstock, Vt.) 1845-1913, 1876-06-14
Vulgarity.

We commend the following ex-
tract t., the thoughtful study of the
young. Nothing is so disgusting and
repugnant TO the feelings of the good
and thoughtful as to hear the young,
or even the old, use profane, low, or
vulgar language. The young Of the
towns are particularly guilty of pro-
family. In our dayit seems the "boy'
does not feel himself q "man" unless
he can excel in this great vice -
ave would guard the young
against the use Of every word that is
not strictly proper. Use no profane
expression allude to no sentence that
will put to blush the most sensitive.
You know not the tendency of habit
ually using indecent or protane Ian
guage. 1t may never be obiterated
from your heart. When you grow
up You may find at your tongues end
some expression which you would not
use for any money. 1t was used when
quite young. By using care you will
save yourself a great deal of mortifca-
ton and sorrow. Good men have
been taken i'll and become delirious.
In these moments they use the most
vile and indecent language imagina-
Bile. When informed of it after their
restoration to health they had no idea
of the pain they had caused; they had
learned and repeated the expressions
in childhood, and though years had
passed since they had been indelibly
stamped upon the heart. Think of
this, you who are tempted to use I'm.
proper language, and never disgrace
yourself or your friends

A Hard Heart.

| remember man who had been a
Christian for two years, but he was
bemoaning his hard and sinful heart.
I said to him one day, odd you ever
know sinner who had not a hard
heart 2" "No," said he, "but mine is
getting no better" rose and closed
all the shutters, and made the room
quite dark. "Why do you do that ?"
he asked. II want to teach you how
to drive away the darkness" | said, 50
| handed him long broom and a
duster. "Now, | want you to sweep
out tie darkness" Il can't" he said.
"Can't you, if you try very hard ?
Will no amount of physical force do
it?' "Certainly not" he said. Then
/ opened the shutters, and the room
was beautifully illuminated. $50 yon
see that II you want the darkness and
dreadings Of your heart to be dispell-
ed, it is not by any amount of effort
of you own, but by letting in the light
of the Sun of Righteousness. But
now that we have had such beauti-
ful light in the room, we may close
the shutters again, we shall want no
more, suppose, tor month" l said.
What do you mean e 81 mean that
we IRE not to expect to have a stock
Of grace laid up, on which we may
draw but that if we would continue
in the light, we must keep locking up
to the Sun, and receiving His blessed
rays into our soul. = Church Union.

Made Him What He Was.

A few weeks ago saloon-keep4r in
Dover, Delaware, who patronized his
own bar very literally, stepped into 4
back room, where men were at work
about pump in well. The cover
ing had been removed, and he ap.
preached to look down, but, being
very drunk, he pitched in head-fore
most. He had become so much Of a
bloat by the use of strong drink that
it was impossible to extricate him in
time to save his life.
There was great excitement in the
town. Men and women who had
never been inside of his saloon before
were the first to rush to the rescue,
and to offer sympathy to the bereaved
family. AS he was being dragged
from the well and stretched out dead
upon the saloon floor, wholesale .lq-
uor dealer from Philadelphia stepped
in. After the first shock at thus find
ing one of his good customers dead,
he turned to a prominent lady, a cru.
sader, and said, pointing to the
wrecked victim, 81 made that man
what he was. l lent him his first dol
lar, and set him up with his first stock
of liquors, and he's now worth SlO,.
900 or $4,000
Looking him tull in the face she
responded:
"You made that man what he was
"a drunkard, a bloat, a stencil in the
ostr.ls Of society and sent him head
long into eternity, and to a drunkard'f
hell; What is $4,000 weighed
against 4 lost soul wasted life,
wife widow and children orphans ??
He turned deadly pale, and without
word left the house.
And so we ask: "What is all the
business and all the revenue to the
millions whose homes are despoiled
whose children are beggared, and
whose loved ones are sent hcadlong to
drunkard's grave and a drunkard's
hell Put yourself in the place OF
that mother whose son is pursued day
and night by this demon, till the hairs
of his head become serpents, and live
Goals burn into his flesh to the very
bone, and fighting devils, he leaps out
into eternity; and then ask, 'Are my
hands clean ? Do I love my neigbor as
myself7 Am 1 doing all l can to stay
the tide that is bearing so many down
and may yet bear me down.

her person, much less flay one alive to
better preserve the brilliancy of the
plumage. 1t is men and boys who do
this-they create the demand by sup
plying the article. and when women,
ignorant usually of the means used to
secure them, wear the glossy trophies
of their cuel cupidity, they are called
heartless and cruel.
That it is wrong to thus destroy
wantonly and cruelty animal life for
the mere qualification Of whim and
folly, none will deny, but stop the
practice where it begins, with those
who supply the market.-M, in

great fountain from whence it came, to
be clothed in spiritual body, fash.
ioned after the image of God himself.
For we have the assurance that as we
have borne the image of the earthly,
we shall also bear the image of the
heavenly. We have an earthly nature
and spiritual nature. The earthly
nature doeth evil, the spiritual doeth
good. AT the death of the body, this
old earthly nature is laid aside to
moulder to dust.
Man knew not good from evil until
he ate of the forbidden fruit, the very
thing his creator intended he should
do. If he had not partook of it he
never would have known good from
evil, or happiness from misery, but
would have always remained nonenti-
ty. Then who, | ask, will say that
man does not fill the place his creator
intended he should fill? If so, why
doom him to life of misery in the
great beyond ?
Poor, foolish mortal, know ye not
that the earthly nature committeth sin,
and being of earth earthly, it goes
with the body to the silent tomb
And the soul being released from its
burden of flesh is borne on the wings
of the arch angel, to the regions CT
eternal peace, where all is sunshine
and love, and where sin and misery
can never come, and where sorrow
and signing are not known. Then
tell me not, poor SIMPLE man, that our
Heavenly Father will doom any por-
ton Of the human race to life OF
misery in the great beyond.

DON'T LEAVE THE FARM.

Come, boys, have something to tell you
Come near, would whisper it low
You are thinking Of leaving the homestead,
Don't be in hurry to so.
The city has many attractions
But think of its vices and sins
When once in the vortex Of fashion,
How soon the course downward begins
You talk of the mines in Australia.
They're wealthy in gold beyond doub!
But, all there is gold on the farm, boys,
If you will but shovel it out.
The mercantile life is hazard,
The goods are first high and then low,
Better risk the old farm a while longer,
Don't be in hurry 10 go.
The great stirring world has inducements,
There is many gay, busy mart
but wealth is not made in day, boys.
Don't be in hurry to start
The bankers and brokers are wealthy,
They take in their thousands or 30;
All. think of the frauds and deceptions--
Don't be in hurry to 60.
The farm is the safest and surest,
The orchards are budding to-day;
You're free as the air of the mountains.
And monarch of all you survey;
Better stay on the farm while longer,
Though profits should come rather slow
Remember you've nothing to risk, boys
Don't be in hurry to go

MATERNAL LOVE.

There is love far holier thaa tho rest
The yearning love that fills mothers bre asst
Born with the babo whose little wailing moan
Asks aid and pity il. a world unknown
Still clinging closer as advancing years
Enlarge her hopes and multiply her fears
Gliding the truant with beaming joy
That he who grieved her is her darling boy
In manhoods flush, in fever's wasting flame,
But most in grief, in sorrow, Sin and shame.
A mothers love her precious child attends,
TO human toll angelic lustre lends,
Cheers the pale wandcrer at his parting breath
And piercts cen beyond the gates Of Death !

depot, the Van Ness house, the Amer
can house, etc. Some of the private
buildings are very fine, and they are
building all the time. Our friend
Hon. B. B. Smalley has recently put
up a splendid mansion at the head OF
Pearl street, near the college grounds
Speaking of the Central Vermont de
pot, through the kindness Of Mr.. Dau'
icl Flaherty, the depot master, who is
the right man in the right place, we
were conducted to the tower of the
building which is about l2o feet from
the ground, and as the building is
close to the wharf it affords a charm
ing view of the lake, the break water,
the shipping, the light houses, rock

on which the British wasted their
powder for three days in the revolu-
ton, thinking it was an American

the place, which is the greatest IN the
world, most of which comes from
Canada and is sent to all parts Of the
world. The Canadian pine of which
there is millions of feet on the wharfs
here, is SAID to be the best that grows
anywhere.
The water works are located a short
distance from the depot, and water from
the lake is forced by means Of station
ary engines to reservoir at the head
Of College street from which it is dis.
tributed over the city. Fire has moth
ing to do with Burlington-water is
'boss !" From the tower we had
fine view of the steamer "Vermont"
coming into port. 1t is twelve miles
across the lake to York State from
this point. The "Vermont' is the
largest and finest boat on the lake and
is furnished in drawing-room style.
Through the courtesy Of Capt. Rush
low, her commander, we were shown
on board, and we got a Quid pro quo
