The Traveller says Vermont Demo-

Hancock for the Presidency. The Dem

Hancock was never beaten in battle.
Victory always followed his banner, and
we believe his good fortune in the past
will not desert him in this hour of his
country's need. With him as our lead

record as soldier, patriot. a states
man, is clean as the snowflake, not a
lisp of disparagement can be brought
against him. He will not only get a
"prodigious popular vote. but he will
beat Grant, Blaine. Edmunds, or any
other man whom the republicans may
nominate, out Of sight-Arg1s

LOST TREASURES.

Let US be patient; God has taken from US
The earthly treasures upon which we leaned,
That from the feeting things which lie around US
Our clnging hearts should be forever weaned.
They have passed from u.s. all our broad possessions
Ships whose wide sails flung wide past distant
shores;
Lands, whose rich harvests smiled in the glad sun
shine;
Silver and gold and all our boarded stores.
And. dearer far the pleasant home where gathered
Our loved and loving round the blazing hearth;
wnere honored age on the soft cushions rested.
And childhood played about in frolc mirth;
Where underneath the sofrened light, beat kindly
The mothers tender glance on daughters fair,
And he on whom all leaned with fond confding
Rested contented from his daily care
All shpwrecked in one common desolationl
The garden walks by other feet are trod
The c!ingng vines by other fingers tutored
To fling their shadows o'er the grassy sod
While carking and deep humiliation
In tears are mingled with their daily bread;
And the rude blasts we never thought could reach
Have spent their worst on each defenceless head.
Soft rain falls on the evil and the good
On narrow walls, and through humber dwellings,
Gods glorious sunshine pours as rich food.
Faith hope and love still in our hearts abiding.
May bear their precious fruit in us the same
And to the couch of suffering we may carry
II but the "cup OF wateI" in his name
Let us be thankful, If in this affection
NJ ie for tba
And while we bend beneath our Fathers chiding,
. We yet can mourn. leach family apart"
Shoulder to shoulder let us breast the torrent,
With not one cold reproach nor angry look;
There are some seasons when the heart is smiteer,
1t can no whisper of unkindness brood.
Our life is not all in these brief POSSESSIONS:
Our home is not in any pleasant spot;
Pilgrims and strangers we must journey onward,
Contented with the portion of our lot.
These earthly walls must shortly be dsmantled,
These earthly tents be struck by angel hands;
But to be built upon a foundation.
There, where our Fathers mansion ever stands
There shall we meet, parent, child, and dearer,
That earthly love which makes half heaven Of home
There shall we find our treasures all awaiting,
Where change and death and parting never come"

greatly surprised by the announcement
that not only may speech and varieties
of motion be transmitted Geographically
but that form and color also may be re-
produced at distsnce through the in
strumentality of the same potent agent.
This result seems to have been obtained
by the diaphote of DR.. Licks. The ap-
paratus consists of four essential parts
the receiving mirror, the transmitting
wires, an ordinary galvanic battery, and
the reproducing speculun. In model
lately exhibited the mirror was six inch
es by four in size and had seventy-two
fine wires, the latter being gathered to-
gether at little distance behind the
frame and covered with an insulating
material. On reaching the receiving
speculum each little wire was connected
to division corresponding to its place
on the mirror. Wires were also run
from the battery to each diaphotic plate,
forming circuit which could be closed
at pleasure. The theoretical action of
the instrument appears to be as follows:
The waves of light from an object are
conducted through an ordinary camera,
so that they fall on certain divisions of
the mirror when the electric current is
closed. The light and accompanying
heat produce momentary chemical
changes in the amalgam of the mirror
which consists of a peculiar compound
of selenium and chromium. These
changes modify the electric current and
cause similar changes in the correspond
ing partitions of the remote speculum,
thus reproducing the image, which, by
a second camera, may be seen by the
eye or thrown upon screen.

A Much NEEDED IMPROVEMENT.


Work has commenced for reconstruct
ing, enlarglng and improving the rail-
way station at White River Junction.
In this work. the Central Vermont, Pas
sumpsic and Northern roads unite. The
plan is to put seconed story on the
main building, and to enlarge its area,
by extending it Southwark by an addition
of about IL feet. Telegraph, Express
and railroad officers are to be in the upper
rooms, the dining-room and restaurant
are to be where they now are, while the
whole space in the northern portion of
the lower part of the building is to be
fitted for two waiting rooms, one for gen.
tlemen and one for ladies. Temporary
structures are now in process of erection,
to be used for the accumulation of trav-
elers while the reconstruction of the
depot is going on. There is to be a one
story brick building, some fifty feet in
length, put up south of the depot, in the
place of the old wooden structure now
standing there, for storage and baggage
rooms, &C., &c.-Obsercer.

THE DWELLER IN THE LAND
OF DEATH.

The llnnet in the rocky dells,
The moor-lark in the air,
The bee among the heather bells,
That hide my lady fair:
The wild deer browse above her breast;
The wild birds raise their brood;
But they her smiles OF love caressed,
Have left her solitude
ween, that when the graves dark wall
Did first her form retain;
They thought their hearts could ne'er recall
The light of joy again.
They thought the tide of grief would flow
Unchecked through future years;
But where is all their anguish now.
And where are all their tears?
Well, let them fight for honor's breath,
Or pleasures shade pursue
The dweller IN the land of death
Is changed and careless too.
And. il their eyes should watch and weep,
Till sorrows source were dry.
She would not, in her tranquil sleep,
Return a single sighl
Blow, west-wind, by the lonely mound,
And murmur, summer streams
There is no need of other sound
To soothe my ladys dreams.

NECESSITY OF AMUSEMENT.

There are, even now, some old fogies
who would have men and women work
from morning till midnight, and year af-
ter year, without relaxation or amusement
of any sort. But just as the man is
merging into the machine, and learns to
90 his round like horse in bark-mill,
in sudden fit of peversity he dies. Just
as you get him to believe that riding
and fishing, walking and fencing, dane
ing, attending the theater or concert
room, in moderation even, is waste of
time. you have to send for the doctor,
the undertaken, or superintendent of the
lunatic asylum. The philosophy that
would adjure innocent recreation would
also take away the spring of youth. the
former from the seasons, the latter from
the human life. The fact is, human ma
ture Graves relaxation and excitement,
and we are rapidly waking up to the
fact. AS people we have been over
working ourselves, for eight or nine gen.
eratlons, and the system is beginning to
tell upon US. The careworn look of our
citizens exhibits the sad story at a CLAN
ce-we require more holidays; our recre-
ations are too irregular, too few and far
between. We stand in need of invigora-
ting sports and of plenty and healthy
amusements. We should be more intel
lectual even. if we devoted less time and
thought to the culture of the intellect +;
we should become more manysided, less
fantastical, and should enjoy healthier
old age. Those people who turn their
faces against rational amusement had
better blot out the sunshine and strip
the earth of its flowers. Recreation is
essential to perfect health and happiness.
