The shallow of the mountain falls athwart the
lOwly plain,
And the shadow of the cloudlet hangs above
the mountain 5 head
And the highest hearts and lowest wear the
shadow If some main.
And the smile Is scarcely lifted ere the an
guish tear is shed.
For no eyes have there been ever without a
weary tear,
And these lins cannot be human which new
or heaved sigh:
For without the dreary winter there mas
never been a year.
And the tempeSfs hide their terIors in the
culmcst summer sky.
So this drcary life is passing and we move
amid its maze,
And we grore along together, half in dark
ness hall in light;
Aud our hearts are often hardened by the
mysteries of our ways,
Which are never all in shadow and never
wholly bright.
And our dim eyes ask o beacon and our weary
feet guide,
And our hearts of all lifes mysteries seek
the meaning and the key;
And a cross CLEANS DER our pathway, on II
hangs the crucified
And he answers all yearnings by the
whisper. Follow Me-"

Secretary Schurz.

The officers and employees of the Interior
department assembled in the model hall Of
the patent office at noon on Wednesday of
last week, and rendered Secretary Schurz
their congratulations. The secretary made
the following pertinent response GAS you
are aware, | am not very much in favor of
politics in the department, yet accept this
demonstration of your rejoicings over the
result of the national election yesterday
with very great pleasure. You have par
ticular reason for that rejoicing-a reason
recognize with the sincerest satisfaction.
You have not only an interest in the result OF
the triumph which has been achieved. 1t
is scarcely necessary to say that had the ex-
ecutive branch of the government not won
the approval and confidence Of the people,
all the brilliant torchlight professions and
all the speeches which have been delivered,
would have avaied very little. Each one OF
you who has done his duty-and am glad to
acknowledge that has been the general rule
has right to claim credit for the good
results accomplished, for you have impressed
the country with the conviction that the
administration of public affairs has on the
whole, been in honest and efficient hands,
So the compliment you have rendered me, l
return to you. Let the result of this cleo
ton be taken as lesson by the officers and
employees of the government, as well as by
the political parties of the country, that
President Hayes spoke words of wisdom in
his inaugural address when he said, He
who best serves his country, serves his party
best"

Mr. Editor In the editorial on Normal Schools
In your issue OF October S0th are several errors
and misconceptions. As the article was written
in spirit OF fairness, it Is perhaps fair to correct
the most important error. Please note, then, that
for the tioo years ending with July last the three
normal schools graduated from their first courses
one hundred and forty.seven persons, and from
their second courses thirty persons much
larger number OF persons was In attendance.
From the catalogue of the schools II appears that
during one year ending with July last, four hun
dred and eighty-four persons were students In
those schools, and allowing the ratio of students
to graduates in the second course to have been
the same at Castleton as at the other schools,
there were seyenty-six students In the second
course for the three schools, and four hundred
and eight In the first course. The friends OF the
Vermont normal schools are all anxious TO have
more and better work done In them To that end
they ask for more money and more state control.
A bill now with the house committee ON educs-
ton provides for these two things. The interests
of education in the state demand that that bill be-
come a law NORMAL.

which are rather extravagant, but which
have occasionally heard and which / cannot

for the good of the whole country and that
of each and all of its inhabitants.
have believed that the principles of the Re.
publican party were 80 just and generally
wholesome that whatever was done for the
true welfare Of the country would tend TO
the establishment of those principles in the
public estimation. | have acted in strict
accordance with my belief, heretofore ex.
pressed that that which best serves our
country serves best our party. / rejoice
that at the close OF my term OF office, or SC
near that close that my successor has been
elected, my friends are able to feel that in
strictly doing that which seemed for the
best interest OF the whole country, have
to some extent promoted the success Of the
Republican party. am glad to be able to
feel that the principle is established that
the man who thinks what is hest, and will
at the same time do what is best for all the
people, will also be doing that which is best
for the Republican party"

WooL-PULIING.-The wool-pulling in the
Democratic "happy family" has com
menced. The first lock flies from the scalp
of John Kelly. When it is seen that j.
they had carried New York Hancock would
have been elected without Indiana, some
scapegoat must be found for the blunders
which led to the loss of the Empire state
So to Kelly's bad management in New York
is now attributed the great Republican vic
tory. Meantime, Watterson is going for
the whole field for not nominating Tilden
for Barnum for his stupid management; for
Hendricks for his selfish folly; and for
English for his brutal greed. Remember, it
is family quarrel, Republicans, and don't
interfere. Like the woman in the fight be-
tween the bear and her husband, you don't
care which wins.
