Rev. T. Dewitt Talmadge.

Music Hall was we'll filled on Thursday
evening last, to hear the lecture of Mr..
Talmadge. Subject: 1.-The Rock on which
People. Sp1it.'' The lecturer showed plain
ly the difference of character and dispo-
sition in different persons; the effect
coarse and abrupt manners and treat
ment have upon those addressed, or with
whom we have intercourse; how it ex-
cites the nervous system and arouses all
the ighobleness in our nature. This he
contrasted with the effect of the mild,
courteous and humane treatment that we
always receive from the perfect lady or
gentleman. His lecture abounded in il
lustrations and comparisons of the ludi-
crOus with the sublime. This was done to
life. All through his lecture there was
brilliant sparklings of wit and vein of
good humor that kept the audience in a
roar of good, heartfelt laughter, in spite
| of themselves. The lecture was, at the
same time, full of good lessons that all
might profit by, if they will take advant-
age of them. The lecture was a decided
success, as a first-rate entertainment for
the audience as well as financially to the
Young Mems Lecture Association.

Fraudulent Tickets.

The following circular has been issued
to its conductors by the Pittsburg, Gin
cinnati 6 St. Louis Railway Co.:
DEC. 1st, 1873.
To Conductors:
From this date you will refuse to hon
or any of the old form of stop-over checks
that may be presented for passage, as
large numbers, and probably all in circu-

the genuine issue of the old form having
been withdrawn from use two years
since.
Explain this to passengers presenting
the old form of stop-over checks; refer
themsto parties from whom the checks
were obtained, for redress, and state that
the stop-over checks of the old form
which prove, upon investigation, not to
have been fraudlently issued, will be re-
deemed by the undersigned.
In issuing stop-over checks now in use,
be particular to call the attention of pas
sengers to the fffteen-day limit.

FoR THE VERMONT PHDSi1.
I'm the storm.


I'm the storm.
Twas bitter night in the winter time,
As cold as cold could be;
The wind howled forth with hollow chime
Like the breakers away at sea,
The moon and stars were lost from sight,
For the fearful storm had quenched their light;
Not track in the road ahead that might
Could the weary traveller sec.
All day the snow had been falling, all day
1u a silent, increasing flow;
At eve the earth looked a billuwy mass
OF pure, unbrl ken snow,
While away ON the hilltJps was heard the roar
The hurricanes heralds sent before,
Telling abroad that the storm was DER
And the tempest ready to blow.
Up the country road, through the heavy drifts,
As the night was coming on,
From the village town ive miles away
over the hills had gone
Herbert Drew and his fair young bride,
Tucked Ia the buffalo side hy side,
And following ON at a swinging stride
Game the faithful watchdog, "Don.'
Such a night as this to face the storm
'Twere fearful thing to do,
But "Nfay,n the chestnut, is brave and strong,
She may take the riders through;
Yet the drifts arc high on the mountains peak
How the arms Ct the bare trees writhe aud shrek
And the north wind hlows DER the hills 80 bleak,
Piercing them through and through.
Night hurried on, and yet, alasl
The farmer was far from home;
The lights from many window CLEANED
Yet they struggled on alone.
Morning dawns and the storm is done,
The sparkling snow CLEANS hack 10 the sun,
And the farmers, slowly, one by one,
To the work Of clearing come.
The long ox-teams arc hitched to the sleds
And the snow.plough dragging along,
While laughing boys aud sober men
JOiu in some joyial song.
At the foot Of the hill lies fallen tree,
n ~ 1v,A oh uhnf team ha
Sitting stiff aud stark, that the drivers lee7
"Tis the faithful watchdog, "Don."
with pallid faces and beating hearts
The mon rush on to see.
There lies May where she houudercd down
In front Of the fallen tree;
And under the spotless drifts Of snow
Carefully tucked in the buffalo,
The bride and groom of a day ago
From Garth had been set free.
MAUD MEREDITH.
