Green-Mountain freeman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1844-1884, 1877-06-20

The Tribune says that a well-known
down town broker, II member of Il prom
inent firm, "a society man," has con-
fessed to stealing valuable jewelry from
different residences to which he has been
invited to attend social gatherings. FL
nancial pressure compelled the crime.
The case will probably be compromised.
The Scientific Farmer states that a fac
lory-the first in this country-for max
ing sugar from corn is now in operation ut
Davenport, Iowa The product is known
as grape or starch sugar, Or glucose, and
differs from common or cane sugar con-
tanning more oxygen and hydrogen, and
in being less sweet and less crystalizable.
1t is consumed in large quantities by con-
fertioners who have hitherto been sup
piled mainly from France and Germany,
where it is manufactured from potatoes.
Between twenty and thirty years ago
three little English boys were amusing
themselves together in u wood lodge one
summer afternoon. Suddenly one of them
looked grave, and left off playing, Il
have forgotten something" he said; 81
forgot my prayers this morning; you must
wait for me-" He went quietly INTO cor
ner Of the place they were in, knelt down,
and reverenlly repeated his morning pray
er. Then he returned to tie others, and
was soon merrily engaged in play again,
This brave boy grew to be brave man.
He was the noted Captain Hammond. He
was faithful servant to his earthly sover-
eign, and, better still, II good soldier Of
service.
DON'T BE A LOAFER.- Young man, don't
be II loafer; don t keep company with loaf
ers; don't hang about loafing places. Bet
ter work for nothing than sit around
day after day with your hands in your
pockets. 1t is better for your health, bet
Ter for your prospects, and vastly better
for your reputation. Bustle about, if you
mean to have anything to hustle for. Many
Il lawyer has got paying client by work
ing for poor man who could not pay.
Many a poor doctor has got good practice
by attending closely to poor one. Such
is the world; to him that hath shall be
given. Quit dreaming and complaining;
keep busy, busy, and mind your chances.
WARM WEATHER DRINKs.--Coffee
drinkers make a mistake if they keep up
the strength of their favorte beverage.
Have a lesser quantity made, of full
strength, and use half, or even a quarter
of cup, filled up with warm milk. Iced
tea is delicious drink; only don't make
the mistake of supposing that this means
"cold tea." Pour it fresh and hot into a
goblet filled with ice, and season to your
taste, replenishing the ice as it melts, and
you will have a most grateful beverage.
The man who invented it deserves the
thanks of all who appreciate the difference
in their dining between December and
May, Fourth of July and Thanksgiving
Golden Rule.
