exemplary fideliGy being always at the

managed, however, TO bear each evening
TO the bedside of the "wee lad" as he
called him, bit OF ribbon or a fragment
of crimson glass: indeed, anything that
would lie out on the white counterpane
and give a color in the room. He was
a quiet, unsentimental Scotchman, but
he never went home at nightfall with
out some toy or trlDket, showing he re-
membered the wan face that lit up so
when he came in. presume he never
said to living soul that he loved that
boy SO much. Sill he wont on patient

that whole shop into real but uDcon-
scious fellowship with him. The work
men made curious little jars and teacups
upon their wheels, and painted diminu-
tive pictures down the side before they
stuck them in the corners of the kiln at
burning time. One brought some fruit
in the bulge of his apron, and another
some engravings in a rude scrap-book.-

er's face told them beyond any mistake
that the inevitable shadow was drawing
nearer.
Every day now somebody did a piece
of his work for him and put 1t up on the
sanded plank to dry; thus he could come
later and go earlier. So. when the bell
tolled and the little coffin came out of
the door of the lowly house, right around

the speaker; "you know you said

Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1880-01-23

The chief trouble with Vermont, the most
grievous blotch on her political polity, is her
absurd system of representation by towns
rather than by population; out of this comes
her cumbrous and feeble Legislatures. 1t is
noteworthy that the early statesmen of Yer
mont had just perception of the injustice
and impolity of the town system of represen-
tation, for the first council of censors that
met in 1886 proposed an amendment to
the constitution, limiting the whole number
of representatives to so, and providing for
their election by county conventions or by
dividing the State into districts. This rec
ommendation was not, however, adopted by
the convention assembled by order of this
council of censors. We suppose that the
world moves but in Vermont it does not
move very fast, when we remember that the
Caughnawaga canal, urged by Gen. Ira Allen,
is not yet initiated, and the system of repre-
sentation by towns remains unchanged, al
though nearly century has elapsed since
these topics were discussed by the founders
of Vermont. -POrtIaad Herald
