A CHEERFUL HoME.-God requires pa-
rent to make cheerful attractive home In the
pressure of business the tendency among us
is to neglect home life. Home is made dreary
and repellant, and the child finds his chief
attraction abroad. This is fatal mistake.
For when the love of home has perished
from the heart of child, then the first step
is already taken in career Of sin. Repelled
from home, be is driven to other associations,
and often seeks in the saloon, the theatre, or
the haunt of vice, that recreation God meant
him to have in his own mothers house.
Many a son, who might have been saved to
a noble life, has been driven by a cherries
home, to dissipation and ruin.
Now, Christian parent God meant you
should make your house the most attractive
place on earth to your children. However
humble, it should still be cheerful, joyous.
Religion at home should not be cold, morose,
gloomy and repellant; but genial, joyous-a
perpetual Joy beaming from the eye, lighting
up the countenance, and thrilling in the very
tones of the voice. Make your home sun.
shiny and happy. The young heart is boil
ing over with glee and frolic. God made it
so and you should provide the means of in.
nocent recreation. Youth is the period Of
impression and imitation, when refined tastes,
noble sympathies, and holy aspirations are
most readily developed. Provide, then,
books, and papers, and pictures, and flowers
at home,-every appliance to awaken and
strengthen all that is pure and noble in them
Let your children feel that their fathers
house is the dearest, happiest spot Oh earth
and as they pass into life's activities and re
sponsihilities, let them remember the home Of
their childhood, not by its bitter words and
hard drudgery, where they simply ate and
drank, and slept, hut as the sunniest spot in
all the past, where their sweetest and holiest
affections gather, ......., ... .,,....I u; q:

CLOUDS WITH SILVER LINING.

CLOUDS WITH SILVER LINING.
There's never day SO sunny
But little cloud appears;
There's never life 80 happy
But has had its time Of tears;
Yet the sun shines out the brighter
When the stormy tempest clears.
There's never garden growing
With roses in every plot;
There's never heart so hardened
But it has one tender spot;
We have only to prune the border
To find the forget-me-not.
There's never cup so pleasant
But has bitter with the sweet; ,...
There's never path so rugged
That bears not the print Of feet;
And we have Helper promised
For the trials we may meet.
There's never a sun that rises
But we know twill set at night;
The tints that gleam in the morning,
At evening are just as bright;
And the hour that is the sweetest
Is between the dark and light.
There's never dream that's happy
But the waking makes us sad;
There's never dream OF sorrow
But the waking makes US glad;
We shall look some day with wonder
At the troubles we have had. g..
There's never q way 80 narrow -.
But the entrance Is made straight;
There's always a guide to point us
To the "little wicket gate;"
And the angels will be nearer
To soul that is desolate.
There's never heart 50 naughty
But will some day bow and kneel;
There's never heart SO wounded
That the Saviour cannot heal;
There's many lowly forehead
That is bearing the hidden seal.
There's never day SO sunny
Bot \ little cloud appears;
There's never life so happy
But has had its time Of tears;
Yet the sun shines out the brighter
When the stormy tempest clears.

CURE BY LAueHTER.-Laughter has Of.
ten dissipated disease and preserved life by a
sudden effort of nature. We are told that the
great Erasmus laughed 80 heartily at satiri-
cal remark that he broke tumor and recov.
cred his health. Joubert gives two similar
instances A patient being very low, the ply
sician, who had ordered dose of rhubarb,
countermanded it, and the medicine was left
on the table. A monkey in the room, jump
ing up, discovered the goblet, and, having
tasted, made terrible grimsce. Again, put
ting only his tongue to it, he perceived some
sweetness of the dissolved mamma, while the
rhubarb had sunk to the bottom. Thus EN-.
boldened, he swallowed the whole, but found
it such nauseous potion that after many
strange and fantastic grimaces he ground his
teeth in agony, and in violent fury threw
the glass on the floor. The whole affair was
SO lndicrous that the sick man burst into re.
peated peals of laughter, and the recovery of
cheerfalnsss led to health.

HOW TO BE A GENTLEMAN.

We want few private words with the boys.
The truth is We have great idea of boys.
We used to think men were made Of boys.
We begin to think now that those were old
fashioned notions, that they are all out of
date. We look around and see great many
persons grown up, with mems clothes on, who
are called men. But what we wish to put in
to the ears of the boys is this-be gentlemen.
In this country every boy may grow up to be
gentleman if he will. It is not necessary
that he should become rich-and most boys
think it is-nor is it necessary that he should
become great scholar, nor that he should
become distinguished man.
But some impatient ones are asking, How
can we become gentlemen? How can boy
20 about making himself one2 Can he work
for it2 Yes, be can. And the harder he
works in the right way the better. Can he
study for iti Yes, be can. But he must
study with his eyes and his ears. Reading
books and newspapers are not enough. He
must think and feel. as we'll as speak and act.
Can he buy it? No, he can not Money
will buy great many things, but it will not
buy what makes gentleman. If you have
money you can go to shop and buy clothes.
But hat, coat, pants and boots do not make
gentleman. They make a fop, and some
times they come near making a fool. Money
will buy dogs and horses But how many
dogs and horses do you think; it will take to
make gentleman ? Let 40 boy, therefore,
think he is to be made d gentleman by the
clothes he wears, the horse he rides, the stick
he carries, the dog that trots after him, the
house that he lives in, OF the money he spends.
Not one of all these things do it-and yet
every boy may be a gentleman. he may
wear an old hat cheap clothes, have no hor-
ses, live in poor house, and spend but little
money, and still be gentleman. But how ?
By being true, manly, and honorable By
keeping himself neat and respectable By
being civil and courteous. By doing the best
he knows how. And finally, and above all,
by fearing God and keeping his command

yards of the American camp. Had it not
been for the peculiar nature of the ground,
the Americans would have been completely
surprised. .s .. j. e..
Colonel Darlington had brought in with
him an abundant supply of provisions, and
rations had been issued to the soldiers but 8
short time before the British made their mp
pearance. General Greene and his suite wsre
leisurely eating their breakfast, under The
shade of the trees near Martins spring, a
short distance east of the road. Some of the
soldiers were cooking, others we're washing
their clothes, and many of them we're lying
idle about camp. The horses we're unsaddled,
and nothing was in readiness for battle ex.
cept that the several divisions of the army
were properly located.
The FIRST intimation that General Greene re-
ceived of the advancing of the British, was
announced by the firing of the British van
into the American picket line. The Ameri-
cans laid aside everything and prepared for
battle. The baggage was ordered to Ruge.
ley's, some eight or nine miles in the rear.
The American army was soon ready to meet
the enemy, and Notwithstanding the unexpec-
tedness of the attack, General Greene felt
confident that he would gain complete vic
tory. Such being his calculations, he order
ed Colonel Washington to turn the enemy's
right and charge upon them in the rear.
In the meantime, the pickets fought brave.

In accordance with the p~roclamations OF
United States, and of the grad master of
Vermont, Thursday was observed as the
5Sth anniversary OF American oddfellow-
ship. The celebration was quite general
throughout the country. The most impos-
ing ceremonies in this state were at Bur
lington and Post Mills. The members of
Killington lodge, of Rutland, desiring to
commemorate the day with some recogni-
ton, decided upon a social festival, in
which the members of the order and their
friends could participate. In pursuance of
their plan a fine company assembled in an
informal manner ct Oddfellows' hall, Globe
block, in the evening and spent a few hours
in the may dance to the excellent music
of the Rutland quadrille band. 1t has been
rare that so fine a looking company of gen.
tlemen and handsome ladies have graced a
similar occasion in Rutland. All seemed to
enjoy the festival with great zest, and speak
in commentator of the most excellent
management. Everything was social and
pleasant, and at an early hour the company
retired TO their homes with pleasing men,
cries of the oddfellows anniversary. Mr.
]. A. Parker was general director, and per-
formed the delicate duties assigned to him
with courtesy, and to the evident satisfac-
ton of the entire company, because of his
admirable arrangement of the programme.
Thus passed the 5sth anniversary of Ameri-
can oddfellowship in Rutland.

MARBLE.

H. E. sargents, and his Whoreabouts-Ho
can Prove an Alibi.
So much has appeared in the newspapers
of late, relative to II. L. Sargent and the
Phair case that we have taken the trouble
to ascertain what we can from his father
in-law, who resides here, and give herewith
the results of an interview. X. Ii. Clark,
a respectable inhabitant of Nit. Holly, whose
daughter was the wife of Sargent, says that
the facts are these Sargent left Rutland
the day on which the house OF Mrs. Freeze
was burned, aud went to Granville or
Poultney to sec a man by the name OF
Pritchard, with whom he talked of becom-
ing q partner in the photograph business
that he returned to Rutland either the same
day or in the night that next day he came
on the mail train to East Wallingford,
where he left the train and proceeded On
foot to Mr.. Clark's residence that he re-
manned there till the next Monday, when he
business there; that since then he has trav-
eled in various states of the Union, and is
now within a half days ride of Rutland
that he has never been in New Brunswick
or China that he hears from him at least
ence a month, and has heard from
him by mail within a fortnight, and
that he Is ready at any time to prove
himself innocent of the crime Of
murder. He says that the story of the
bloody clothes is a myth, the facts being
that Sargent gave him about a month be-
fore the murder some old clothes as was
his custom, and among them was a white
linen coat stained red and reddish brown
by acids and other chemicals that the
coat was washed by his wife, though the
stains have never been washed out. AS to
Sargent numbering his wife, Mr.. Clark says
his daughter was always used we'll by Sar-
gent that the jury in Whitehall unani-
mously acquitted him of any guilt in the
matter of his wife's death that he himself
has never doubted that his daughter came
to her death by natural causes.
Public sentiment at Mt. Holly as to the
guilt of Phalr seems to be divided, q few
believing him to be innocent while more be-
lieve him guilty and that many of the
newspaper stories emanating from Boston
are fabrications of Pnair's friends TO get
him reprieved still further. Individually
we think Gov. Fairbanks would in no way
iniure or defeat the ends of justice by let
ting Phair live till all these rumors can be
subjected to the test of judicial proceed
ings aud Phair's guilt made certain. ~
