THE best fidelity to Christ is shown in
daily viglant service to Him in triAes,
in efforts to honor Him in humble, incon-
spicuous services, such as in good temper
in families, sympathy with man and beast,
honesty in business, liberality to servants,
fidelity to employers.

Vermont.

When they get tired hurrahing
over the news from Vermont, our Re.
publican friends will probably awake
to the saddening consciousness that,
after all, they have won but a barren
victory. What they need to accom-,
plish in this contest is to carry
doubtful States. No matter how
large their majorities in safe Repub.
lican States like Vermont, the effect
on Democratic prospects will amount
to nothing, Besides, the estimated
majority in Vermont this year is
considerably less than that given to
Fremont in 1856, and shows a falling
off of 5000 ascomp pared with Grants
majority in 1868, so that, after all,
there is very little 10 crow about.

man states the case exactly, in refer.
ing to his Martinsburg speech. 1t
says of Mr.. sturgiss:
l"Let him continue to befoul and
malign the people among whom he
has made his bread and butter, draw
ing against them invidious distinc.
tions, derogatory to their enterprise
and hurtful to their fair fame, and if
he and the party whom he represents
don't bring down the malediction Of
right thinking men Of all parties,
whose State pride scars above the
dirty mire Of politics, then let the
West Virginia motto be changed and
write in its stead: "The people Of
West Virginia are base fatterers Of
others, with no manhood of their
own"
