One Of the ENJOYS charged to represent
his sovereign at Alfonso's wedding, had
inquired at hotel in Madrid the price Of
u drawing room and four bedrooms. He
was asked 1000 reals day, 300 reals for
a carriage, with an engagement to take
them for twenty days. He then went to
another hotel. Here he was asked for
similar apartments 5000 reals, with
1000 reals for carriage, with an engage
ment to take them for fifteen days. The
envoy was then going back to arrange
with the first hotel keeper, when the
wsena rrived that no fetes were to be held.
The phrase 'sToo thin," says writer
IN the Baltimore Euery Saturday, was
perfectly good English more than cen
tury ago. Thus, in Smollett's novel,
"Peregrine Pickle" published in 1751),
when the hero suddenly informs his lady
love, Amelia, that he is going abroad,
the tears gushed into her eyes, and she
was at great pains to conceal the cause
of her grief by observing that the tea wai
so scalding hot as to make her eyes wa
ter. "This pretext," says Smollett, in al
seriousness, "was too thin to impose
upon her lover or deceive the observation
of her friend Sophy."

ALEGEND OF HARVEST.

30 long ago that history pays
No heed nor record Of how long,
Back in the lovely dreamy days,
The days of story and OF song.
Before the world had crowded grown.
While wrong on earth was hard TO find,
And half the earth had never known
The forms and faces OF mankind.
When just as now the years would keep
Their terms OF SHOWS and suns and
showers,
1t chanced that Summer dropt asleep,
One morning in a field OF flowers.
And while the warm weeks came and fed.
In all their tender wealth OF charm,
She slept, with beauteOus golden head
Laid softly on her milk-white arm.
She did not hear the waving trees,
The warbling brook she did not hear,
Nor yet the velvet coated bees
That doomed about her rosy ear.
In many yellow breezy mass.
The rich wheat ripened far away,
And glitterlng on the fragrant grass,
Her silver sickle idly lay.
But then lat asst, one noOntide hour.
A gorgeous month, while hoveriug by,
Mistook her sweet mouth for flower,
And walked her, with startled cry.
She rose, In anxious wonder, now,
To gaze upon the heightened wheat,
And saw It's plenteOus tassels bow
Dead-ripe below the sultry heat.
Half crazed, she wandered east and west
Amid the peaceful spacious cline.
Until at length, with painting breast,
She stood before old Father time.
With tears OF shame she told him all,
While pointing to the wheat unknown
And said, What power shall make II fall
Ere Autumn's bitter winds have
blown"
Then Father Time. with laughter gay,
Leaned low his frame, and crooked hi
knees,
| And tossed his white beard like the spray
That crowns the crests of wintry seas.
"Oh, daughter, cheer you heart ~ he cried
"The wheat shall fall ere fails the night
| We two shall NOW II side by side,
And reap 1t in the stars pale light ~
| SO Summer cleared her brow of gloom,
And forth with Father Time She went
| And haggard Age by Youth in bloom,
| Above the tawny wheat they bent.
Ere fall of night the harvest fell
But since that season. fair and blithe,
| Asancient annals love to tell,
Old Father Time has borne scythe !

A rom antic couple were married one
afternoon last week near the top of the
new Capitol of Iowa. 1t was their inten-
ton to be joined in the bonds on the roof,
with nothing but the vaulted dome of
heaven to cover them, but as they reached
the top of the uncompleted main dome,
and found they had to climb ladder to
reach the roof, the ladies of the bridal
party refused to go any further, although
the gentlemen had mounted the ladder
next to the roof, the the party standing
on the loose boards. There was no Or
gan to peal forth the wedding march,
but the sound of the hammer and trowel
and the occasional fall OF brick, which
went tumbling and crashing from floor to
floor, punctuated 'he minister's remarks.

WASHINGTON, November 12.-Mr. j.
G. s. Blackburn, who is now in town,
does not think Mr.. Tilden as lively as
he did when he saw that distinguished
candidate skip playfully up stairs at
Greystone last summer. He thus talks
talks of him in the Post to-day with an
interviewer:
"Mr. Tilden took the risk, he must

"You consider him dead politically,

"Why, he might as well re hermeti-
cally sealed in a terra-cotta casket and
buried twelve feet under ground, inste az
OF six, as be In his present situat ion. He
is as dead as Thurman. There is, anC
will continue to be, an effort to arouse
sympathy for him on the ground of the
wrong done him in 1876, but genera
feeling is that the interests Of the party
should supersede private claims and Mr.
Tilden will be dropped"

TIE ORIGINAL ANTI-SLAvERY SoCIE-
TY. The recent death of Mr.. Garrison
has called forth many inquiries as 10
who were prominent among the mem
bers of the original board US Instituted
in 1882. The society was known as the
New England Anti-Slavery Society,
and the officers were as follows: Presi-
dent, Arnold Buflam; vice-presidents,
Jas. e. Odiorne, Alonzo Lewis; treas
urer, Michael Simpson; corresponding
secretary, William Lloyd Garrison;
recording secretary, Joshua Coffin. OF
the above we believe none are living.
Two years later the society was largely
increased, and in 1885 1t had large
following of many of the mort distin-
guished of the philanthropists Of that
day in New England, and the circula-
ton of the Liberator, the organ or the
society, increased rapidly. Several
brilliant writers i'm the South, who did
not dare to openly avow their sympa-
thies with the cause, contributed large
ly to the paper under various MONS de
plume. Duff Greene, who then con-
Quoted the administr alton organ at
Washington, contributed in a great
measure 10 the influence of the paper
by his denunciations.

E- The gentleman of miscellaneous
pursuits, who "reports' North Ferris
burgh for various papers, has the fol-
lowing in the Rutland Herald;
The Addison county Sunday School
Association meeting held at the Metho-
dist church on last Wednesday, was not
very fully attended by the speakers ap-
pointed on the programme. The excr-
eises, however, as far as engaged in, or
represented, were very interesting and
fully appreciated. One thought is sug-
gested by this partial failure, namely:
VIII the officers of societies, also adver-
tisers in general, remind themselves
that all notices of meetings, etc., de-
signed to reach tho masses, or people of
Addison county, must find some other
newspaper mediums or columns besides
those of either the "Register'' or ever
monter."
We have not the honor of personal
acquaintance with the reverend gentle
mah, and hence can only judge of his
capacity for telling the truth from the
above reference to the Register and
vermonter. Also of his good sense and
christian spirit from his impudent sug-
gestion that our advertisers "remind
themselves" that our columns are
worthless for advertising purposes.
We do not know whether the neglect
of both tho Register and the Vermonter
70 avail themselves of the services of
this correspondent gives him this I'M
favorable opinion of them. We only
know that he greatly dislikes to have
his items copied without drawing pay
for the same, and would greatly like tc
ssnA out his valuable duplicates of local,
news, interl arded with references to h
own business, to every paper which
will come up to his ideas as to theil
value. We do not propose to charac
terize as it deserves this gratuitous in
suit and attempt to damage our bust
ness, which is as absurd as it is untrue
The Register has the largest circulation
among the best classes, in the county
and is hence the best advertising medi
am. The Vermonter comes second in
these respects, and either of them is a
better medium to reach Addison coun-
ty people than all the other state papers
circulating in the county put together,
or than all the papers to which this
correspondent furnishes his "news.'
The meeting of the Sunday School AS
ISOLATION was not only advertised in the
papers, but the notice of it was read in
most of the pulpits of the county on the
preceding Sabbath. 1t is likely that all
Interested knew of the proposed meet
lug. If they did not attend, the correct
explanation would be that they did not
desire to do SO.

Woman Suffrage.

The great trouble with the advocates
of woman suffrage is that they do not
carry their professions into practice
They claim and some ofthem clamor for,
equality with men before the law, an
equal chance in the avocations of life.
equal rights in the home, the street,
the hotel and "the busy haunts OF
men," But they somehow overlook
the fact that these equal rights and priv
ilegesimply equal hardships, equal sub
mission to annoyanccs, equal buffetilig
of the storms of life, equal exposure to
all that is unpleasant in life as well as
equal participation in all that is desir-
able. And so when You place one of
these women in what may be designat-
ed masculine position-a position
usually filed by a man-she goes on
bravely until something inseparable
from the position or its requirements
comes upon her; something which
would be taken for granted by man,
but which gives a shock or sense of
disgust to her sense OF femininity, and
then she straightway wants'thc arrange
ment Of things changed because She
Is womanl This is not strange nor
unnatural. Ii is quito in accord with
the fitness of things, but il shows how
absurd is the idea of attempting to
ignore or override the natural distinc-
ton of sex.-[St. Adams Advertiser.
