WE had the pleasure of hearing Rev.
". Collier preach at the Presbyterian
Church last Sabbath night, the first timt
we had heard him. His text was: "Tht
silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith
the Lord of Hosts" He handled the sub
ject of property with much ability, show
ing that all was the Lords, by right OF
only as a trustee, or borrower. 1t is
right to acquire all the wealth we can,
honestly, 50 that we make the proper use
Of it; but wealth should never be en-
plOyed to further the cause of Satan. 1t
should never be employed to produce in
toXicating liquors, or in any other bust
ness where the blessing of God could not
be asked to further the business.
BERRY STEELE and George Blagg were
in our Office on Saturday morning, show
ing us some of their new instruments.
Berry had a nice little curled up instru-
ment in box. 1t looked like it was
made of pure silver 1t had four mouth
pieces, one of gold. We believe he called
it cornet, or some such name. The
price, without the box, or the extra
mouth pieces, was S95. Their instrU-
ments are all triple silver plated, and
cost $267, besides the old instruments
turned in. The cost was over $500, not
counting Berry's cornet, which he bought
extra.
Now the Jackson Silver Cornet Band
is ready for the camDaiGn.

Rural Florists.

We have taken the greatest pleasure at
the last two state fairs in examining the ex-
quisite display of flowers, of every sort
grown without artificial appliances, exhib-
tied by the amateur florists (mostly ladies,
we believe) of Barre and Montpelier. Too
much cannot be said in praise of these ex-
hibits, which were as notable for the taste
with which the flowers were arranged as for
the perfection with which they were grown.
Shortly after, we visited the garden of Mr..
Joseph I. Macomber in Grand Isle, and
were delighted with the excellence and
variety of his floral growths, notwithstand-
ing the lateness of the time and the I'M
favorableness of the season. There is an
unlimited opportunity for development in
this line, and the step from such amateur
work to profitable professional gardening
and seed.growing is but short. We have
grown some Of our most admired plants
from seed received from Mr.. Macomber
B. X. Bliss, the great New York scotsman
began, while an apothecary at Springfield
Mass, with selling packets of flower seeds
saved from his own garden, and from that
beginning stands now almost at the head of
American seedsmen. The opportunity offered
to the sending of seeds through the mails
opens this business to every one, and we dc
not see why Vermont-grown hower-seeds
might not soon become as well and favora
bly, known as Vermont sheep or Vermont
maple sugar. Careful growing and liberia
advertising will do it.

him to feel that he has anything to make by
my DEATH" This, says the writer, is the
stock idea of seven millions Of American
fathers. But he objects to it thus al noted
my friends notion that by giving his son an
education he was thereby making it sure
that he would succeed in the world. An ed
ucation, yes but what sort of an education ?
A bricklayer's education, an artisans, a
farmers, would indeed help him to earn a
living. A college education would give him
a social advantage, but IL would not increase
his chance of earning living it would
rather diminish it. For our colleges do not,
like the French and German universities, in
struct a young man in the bread-winning
pursuits. The educated young American
who has not a special education as bread
winner is worse off, as to his money pros
poets, than the young American who has no
education at ALL Dig he cannot, to beg he
is ashamed" Which latter we may add,
may be true, but generally he is not ashamed
to sponge on his relatives and friends. 1t
seems to us that the facts aIe fatal indict-
ment upon modern colleges. Here in indus
trial Vermont we have three institutions
of culture" where young men are untitled
for practical life, and the only attempt to
have anything better has been burked
for fear of its fatal effects upon them. Shall
we never have anything better ? If not
then, let every Vermonter who has children
to educate, ego west" For in the west
they are really trying to establish system
of education which will make "bread-win
ners of the young people.

A Farmer Candidate.

Major Henry E. Afford of Easthampton,
Mass, who is favorably known to many
Vermont farmers, has accepted nomina-
ton TO congress from the Democrats of the
tenth district in that state. In his letter of
acceptance he renounces all caucus dicta
ton, having previously declared that he
would not contribute pecuniarily to his own
election. In regard to agricultural interests
he expresses the thought of myriads of
farmers. He says However nominated or
elected, no one can truly represent the tenth
district of Massachusetts in congress who is
willing to be there bound by party caucus
or to act wholly within party lines. Its
representative should remember that, al
though chosen by certain majority part of
the people, he is to represent all the interests
of his constituents in every legitimate way,
He will represent large manufacturing, mer-
camille and other interests--he will also rep.
resent great agricultural interests. There is
ample evidence that The former have been
well served during the last twenty years
that was right. But | have searched the
congressional records of those years in vain
for single act whereby any representative
of this section recognized the existence Of
farms in western Massachusetts, that wa,
wrong, and wrong that should be righted.
We wish both parties might give us more o.
such nominations. They would if farmer
would unite and use the influence the,
possess to such an end. But so far as an,
action is concerned (talk is cheap nothing
seems clearer than that the ideal congress

Lice on Stock.

A number of letters" says the American
Agricuiturist, " ask for remedies for lousy
stock. Vermin of some kind very frequently
infest domestic animals; they are mostly of
the louise type; small parasitic animals that
must be removed by the application of some
insecticide. A number of substances have
been used to a greater or less extent, of
which few are mentioned below One
pound of tobacco and six ounces of borax
boiled in two quarts of water, to which soft
soap enough is added to make thick paste,
has proved a good vermin salve. A mixture of
carbolic acid and soft soap in the proportion
of one to four makes a compound easy to
apply, and very effectual. Shortly after,
the parts to which the soap mixture has been
applied should be washed with pure water
and a non-drying oil rubbed on. Oil of tur
pentine and lard oil, equal parts, with a little
carbolic acid, is perhaps the most convenient
mixture to make, and effectual in its appli
cation. Animals that are affected with yer
min need better care and higher feeding il
order TO overcome the drain that those par
asites make upon the system.

To THE POINT The New York Tribune
well says Every debt statement is an ar
gument against change of administration.
The Republican party has so adjusted the
revenue laws that an enormous revenue
flows into the treasury each month, and the
public debt is rapidly reduced, without ex-
posing home industry to hurtful competition
from abroad. Under no Democratic admin
istration has it ever been found possible to
raise large revenue, even for short time,
without severe prostration of home indus
try. Yet the largest revenue ever raised by
Democratic administration, even at the
cost of serious industrial disasters, was in
significant compared with that which the
Republican party secures, month after
month and year after year, as result of
marvellous prosperity in all branches of in
dustry and trade"

Prohibition Does Prohibit.

The Washington Sentinel, organ Of the
beer brewers with Lewis Shade, its editor,
their paid attorney, speaking of the pro-
posed prohibitory measures in Iowa, says
" If those prohibitory measures should be
come law four grain distilleries and nine
fruit distilleries will be destroyed. That
loss, small as it is, might be borne. But
there will also be one hundred and fifty
breweries stopped, which paid into the
United States treasury last year over $780,
900 taxes for nearly as many barrels OF beer
produced by them, and two millions Of cap
ital invested therein destroyed. Over foul
thousand FIVE hundred dealers in malt and
spirituous liquor will be broken up, and Just
so many families deprived of the means Of
making a living. Giving to each OF the lat
ter only $500 capital invested, loss of 81
$4,000 will be sustained by them. Tn,
government of the United States will los,
annually over s65S,0O0 internal revenue"

An Ingenious Farmer.

A farmer at his best will be a many-sided
man, for farming is many-sided business
A farmer who is not "a piece of me-
chanic" is often at a great disadvantage
We often see illustrations of this which
make us thankful that we learned to use our
hands by learning trade before we studied
a profession which itself has the merit
above other professions of also teaching its
students to use their hands. {" Surgery" is
a Greek derivative which finds its equivalent
in the Latin derivative manufacture" both
meaning working with the hands.'0 In
our recent trip to Grand Isle we were de-
lighted with some of the most tasteful and
acknowledgements specimens of fretsaw-
ing in various forms that we ever had the
satisfaction of examining. On looking at
the cards attached we found them to be the
work of S. NJ. Macomber, son of that good
old Quaker farmer and fruit grower, "Uncle
Bunny Macomber," the best informed po-
mologist in Vermont Some reader will say
" a young farmer might be better employed
than in making fancy gimcracks with jig
saw" Such one we would have taken to
another part of the same building and have
shown him most ingenious and efficient
seed-planter, made by the same hands. 1t
looked as if it had come from first-class
machine-shop, but we were assured that the
iron parts were mostly picked out of scrap
heaps and put together in this neat machine
by Mr.. Macomber. And to the criticism of
fret-sawing, we should say that, as work for
winter evenings by the Preside, nothing we
know of is better educator and trainer Of
hand and eye than fret-sawing. Saying moth
ing, then, of the direct product of such an
occupation Chough such fine work as Mr.
Macomber's has high pecuniary value as
an article of sale), the educational value OF
fretsawing to the hand and the eye will be
of great advantage to any one. "Bungling y
of every kind, so common in every occupa
ton and especially so on the farm, shows
that farmers need such training. If your
boy Tor your girD wants jig-saw, get them
one. We would rather spend money fol
them in that way than for fiddle or piano
not that we object to music, either, but
perhaps rather because we like it.

"what Sort Of an Education 2"

A writer in Harpers Monthly, for Novem-
Der, discusses the question of Securing
Competence" He cites the fact that while
in France majority of the middle class
have competence sufficient to live upon
and hold on to it, in America very few fam
lilies are thus situated, and this, notwith-
standing the fact that it is much easier to
make and to save money here than there.
He quotes an American father as saying I:
81 haven't made up my mind just how 70
leave my money, but I'll tell you what am
not going to do with it. don't believe it
does boys any good TO leave them any money
at all. I'll give my son an education, SO
that he can take care of himself, and then
turn him loose. Money left to him would
probably spoil him; besides, don't want

HARvEsT-TINrE.

IT'S harvest-tlmel o reapers haste
It's harvest-timel and through the sky,
A fiimy crescent in the noon
The harvest floats slowly by.
In the still midday beats the sun
Upon us yet, with summer wrath;
And, wetering in his golden heat,
The farmer mows the aftermath.
but earlier now the shadows creep
In stealtby file adown the valei
And, on the banks Of silver brooks,
The lady ferns are growing pale.
Now, purple by the country road,
The wild grapes, in tangled mass;
And evanescent sweetnesses
Float sadly round us as we pass.
There comes the swish Of falling graini
His glittering scythe the farmer swings
In circles wide; about his path
The golden cereals down he filings.
The loaded wains creak up the hill;
wide open stands the granary door;
Harvest has come a thousand years,
And will, please God, a thousand more.
Beited with gold and royal red,
Through roses ashes, sweet and gray,
with happy hum Of hopeful toll,
Rolls past the blessed harvest-day.

SOMETHING TO HATE.

I love the luscious grapes that cling
In clusters on the vine
Bright groups Of neckless bottles Allied
with natures harmless wine.
But when, despoiled Of all their charms,
They fall to low estate,
Their sweetness into poison turned,
I've something then TO hate
love the apples, blushng meath
The SUMS too ardent rays;
They bring me pleasant memories OF
Dear childhood's happy days.
But when, by " Foliy's" hand transformed,
They lure and fasclnate.
Their harmlessness and beauty gone.
I've something then to hate
love the graceful barley, which,
Disguised in beard OF gold
Goes flirting with the zephyrs like
A cavalier Of old
But when the cruel hand Of art
Doth such change create
That wholesome foods to poison turned,
I've something then to hate.
