One hundred years A nations joys
Rtsound along the prospered way,
That STARK and his Green Mountain boys
Made ours one hundred years to-day.
For them the strife, the fears the toll:
For uu q century Of calm;
The hero blood that wet the soil
Our grateful hearts to-day embalm.
God bless the standard Of the free
God bless the peaceful, happy landi
Our fathers God we lin TO Thee
Our praise for gifts on every hand.
And for our eountry's honored head
Our reverent lips ask this alone;
That Thou wilt guide bis feet TO tread
In footprints Of our Washington.
Our counselors with wisdom NIL:
Let parties die let iActlons cease;
Let ali men seek, with single will.
Our counlry's unity and peace
SO not ln vain tho patriot blood
Was poured upon the erimsoned clay,
While side by side our fathers Stood
One hundred years ago to-day
And men shall hold the memory dear
OF those who fought for freedom here,
And guard the heritage they won
While these green hillsides greet the sun.
At the conclusion of Prof Bartlett's ad-
dress, Mr.. Phelps the chairman of the day,
introduced his Excellency, Rutherford b.
Hayes, President of the United states. who
spoke as follows:
TO you that am grateful for this greeting

The Estey Organ manufactory is well worth
a visit to any interested in mechanical and art
progress The works are situated ON an eieva-
ted plateau. overlooking considerable portion
of the village of Brattleboro'. They consist of
eight main slate covered factories, which are
forty feet apart three stories high, one hundred
feet long, and from thirty to thirty-eight fest
wide. Near by Is a gas house, which supplies
not only the factories but some portions of the
village. with Illuminating gas of excellent quail
itv steam fire engine, named j. Estey,
is kept constantly ready for use and may be
manned at a moments notice by drilled com
pany of the workmen. A perfect system of
speaking tubes and electric bells establishes in
Simultaneous communication between the Office
and all parts of the premises. Over five hun
dred workmen are employed, and every care is
taken to secure for them health, comfort and
safety, as well as a perfect and economical
working of the establishment. Many of the
little rooms occupied by the tuners are made.
charIningly cozy with pictures and flowers, ar
ranged to suit the taste of the occupants. The
cheerful hum of machinery mingles with the
chipping of thousands OF reeds and sends forth
not discordant song of industry which pene-
trates many of the pleasant homes of the work
men.

THE MAKERS.

The firm of j. Estey & Co. is made up of
Mr.. Jacob Estey. his son, julius ]. Estey, and
his son-in-law, Levi K. Fuller. Mr.. Estey,
senior, is the veteran reed organ maker of
America if not of the world. He begun the
business in Brattleboro thirty years ago, in
single room, with SIX worlmen and has make
his way constantly forward. in spite of more dis
asters and drawbacks than often attend such
enterprises. This fact is due to the man him
self. He has made himself, through force of
honesty, energy. shrewdness and perseverance.
Flooding on and on, smiling at disasters by fire
and flood, planting his feet resolutelv ON all
obstacles, with indomitable faith in himself and
his work, he has reached very proud place
among his fellows, while still IN the prime of
hale and vigorous manhood. His executive
ability is great He knows every detail of the
vast business and watches its daily progress
with a marvellous approach to omnipresence.
But, however absorbed he may be in this direc-
ton, he has never neglected his highest duties
and privileges as citizen. Always foremost
in everything conducive to the public welfare
actively interested in affairs of church. State
and society, his influence has been wide and
good and the cordial esteem he has earned so
honoraby waits impatiently for fitting oppor-
tunity to do him honor in lind.
The younger members of the firm, who have
been active partners for decade of years, had
been trained in the business under the tuition
Of their senior for some time previous and the
partnership only served to concentrate their
energies. They are young men of sterling
natural ability. and seem to have been particu-
lary we'll fitted for the positions assigned them.
Mr.. julius Estey is at the head of the counting
room and supervises the mathematical intrica-
cies of the immense business with cear-head-
ed faculty that might well be considered
synonym for uniform correctness. The count
ing-room of a mandatory is where its heart
beats. Health there means strong and
regular pulsation through all the veins and
arteries of workshop and storehouse. Mr.. Fuller
is at the head of the mechanics of the concern.
His native talent, stimulated by thorough
mechanical training, has been invaluable and in
dispeusable III the long and uninterrupted Sc
ries of experiments and inventions which. I'M
der his ready and intelligent guidance have
been combined i'll the complete whole known as
the Estey Organ. Both these gentleman are,
equally with their elder, in the van of every
movement that tends to promote the public
wealth and prosperity as reliable, progressive,
faithful and enthusiastic in all such matters as
III their personal affairs. Character stamps
these men as il does their manufactures. Posi-
tive merit is the underlying principle of their
success.

THE ESTEY ORGAN.

Every organ which leaves the EStey manufac-
tory from the nrtle Cottage Gem. with its four
octave manual and single set of forty-eight-
reeds to the Double Bank Pedal Organ, with
seven full sets of reeds and sixteen stops, bear
the uniform stamp of entire faithfulness in
manufacture No need to puff such wares I'D
aGuse,uH, with flaming advertisements like a
quack medicine no need to push their sales by
cheapening the price. A simple statement Of
fact is their best recommendation. They are
as perfect as human ingenuity. care and skill
can make them, and are sold at the lowest
price consistent with fair profit Whenever
improvements are possible they are adopted at
once, whether IN workshop machinery or instru-
ment. Under such circumstances. it ceases
to be a wonder that the sale of the
Estey Organ is increasing with such
rapidity, both at home and abroad and
that enlarged facilities for its production are al
ready necessary, although the Estey establish
ment has been for years the largest reed organ
manufactory III the world. Nine thousand
organs were turned out last year. These organs
represented business of over one million dol
lars Such figures are more eloquent in test-
mony of worth than the most fowery and skill

Come Now and Let Us Reason Together

Why do people so frequently say 10 Dr;
Pierce 81 suppose your Golden Medical
Discovery cures everything? Because 1t
has teen the practice of kDavish chariatans
to manufacture worthless Lostrums and at
tempt TO dupe the ignorant and credulous
by Recommending them to cure every form
of disease. To such an extent has this been
practiced that it is no wonder that many
have ACQUIRED prejudices against all advef-
tised remedies. But DR.. Pierce does not ad-
yertise his standard preparations as cure
ais, does not claim that they will perform
miracles, but simply publishes the fact that
they have been developed as specifics for
certain forms of disease for which he recon-
rnen6s them, after having tested their eff
cacy in MANY hundred cases with the most
gratifying success 1t is fact known to
every well-informed physician that many
single remedies possess several different pro-
perties. Qninine, for instance, has tonic
quality, which suggests its use in cases of
debi ity an anti periodic, by which it is eff
ficscious in ague and febrifuge property,
which renders it efficacious in cases of fe-
yer. The result of its administration will
50 vary with the quantity given and the
ciIc1n stances under which it is employed.
So, likewise, the Golden Medical Discovery
possesses both pectoIal and Alternative, or
bloc d -cleansing properties of the highest
order. By reason of these two prominent
properties it cures two classes of diseases.
First, those of the respiratory organs, as
throat, bronchial, and lung affections,
chronic coughs, and asthma, and second,
dis eases of the blood and glandular system,
in which affec ions all skillful physicians
employ alternatives, as in cases of blotches,
eruptions, Gers, swellings, tumors, abcess-
es, and in torpor of the liver or !" bilious
ness" While its use is, by its combination
OF properties, suggested IN cases of pulmo-
nary consumption, yetyou need cot take it
expecting it will cure you if your lungs are
half consumed, nor because it is recon-
mended as blood medicine would its pro-
prietor advise you to take it expecting it to
cure cancer. 1t will not perform miracles,
but it will cure many grave forms of dis
ease

Breezy tarn and wind-swept moor;
Birds last farewell ere they fee

Empty hopes and aching care:
Vain regrets for Summer gone,
Lonely tears as years go on

Memory weens, for Love is dead,
But, though withered leaves an ere

AGRICULTURE AND PROSPERITY,

While our manufacturing and COM
mercial interests languish in some
sections Of the country, it is nota>
BILE fact that the agriculturist is COM
para,ively prosperous, finding a
ready sale at paying prices for all his
products. While it is the most
primitive, farming is the most inde>
pendent calling man can engage in.
But is especially like any other BUSH
ness in that il must be learned
The merchant or mechanic that con
cludes he will go to farming on the
supposition that anybody can mans
age farm usually pays dearly for
his experiment, bu. no more so than
the farmer who concluded to start q
factory or run a steamboat. The
present army of school teachers, law
yers, shoemakers and editors will not
make successful farmers. The boys
must be taught that of all callings
that of farmer is the surest as well
as among the most honorable. Let
the boys understand that while all
other pursuits are precarious, TO the
farmer the means of living are al>
ways secure. The farmer may not
be able 10 a given year to sell his
surplus crops at a remunerative
price, but short of general famine,
the food and shelter are sure. He
is certain of the prime essential of
life, food, for be makes it himself,
and is not obliged TO earn money to
buy it. He grapples, hand to hand,
with the elements of human life, and
makes them his own, and by fulfill>
ing his part of the great contract
which mankind holds With nature,
binds her to his support. This is
all true of the small farmer who aims
only at comfortable competence with>
out endeavoring to amass wealth.
In the case Of large agricultural ope>
rations, undertaken as speculative
ventures, it would be hard to show
that, While Of course more risky than
the class above referred to, they rest
on a sarer foundation and are more
certain Of success than most specula-
tive schemes.-NaShgille Banner.
