FOr the Vermont W
The Other Side.

How often do we, like the Levite and
priest in the story Of the Good Samaritan,
pass selfshly by on the other side, and are
deaf to sigh or moan, from weary, way-worn
hearts, and blind to all distress and want,
and thus practice what we condemn in
them2 Our way is smooth, and we do not
like to turn aside to a less pleasant path
where lie the helpless ones that faint and
mourn-the way is wide, so we gladly pass
by on the other side. Sometimes we do,
like the Levite, when passing by, pause for
a moment; but instead of the pity we should
feel, comes false pride that causes us to
take credit to ourselves that we have been
more wise, or freer from sin than our neigh
bor. We forget how little should be, or is,
due to those who have had a smooth path
all the way, while those who have always
faced temptation, if victorious over sin, are
truly conquerors. Many person has been
drawn down by myriad of untoward cir
cumstances, such as have fettered a soul
that, placedin more fortunate circumstances,
would have been pure and white. Every
day our path will be crossed by the erring,
but we should be careful how we judge
another's life, lest the Judge of all hold us
not guiltless. Life, like the sands of the
hour-glass, is swiftly slipping through our
hands, but the loving word and deed, to our
neighbor in his necessity, will live eternally
A word of comfort to the sorrowing, or a
gentle word to the erring, may cost us but
little, yet cheer another's heart like ray oi
sunshine in dark day. Let us all be care
full that we pass not coldly by on the Other
side our less fortunate neighbor, but, if il
be within our power, lift him up and beal
him where stream of blessing flows. The
consciousness of being able to help another
is pleasure to the giver only understood
by those who have realized it. Force Of
habit and sometimes even thoughtlessness
causes us to unkindly Judge others; but
remember verse of an old poem that ex
presses good sentiment
| "And so, I think, when children grown
Are white in grace, or black with sin,
We should not judge until we know
| The path fate had them travel in;
For some led sunny heights.
Beyond the power Of sin to sway;
| While others grope in darksome paths,
And face temptation all the way"

A War Incident.

The cry of "On to Richmond awakened
no enthusiasm in the hearts of the Third
Ohio one day when they found themselves
en- route as prisoners of war for that famous
capital. Nor were they enthusiastic when
they halted for the night and prepared to
sink supperless into dreamland. The Fifty
fourth Virginia regiment was encamped
near by, and some of the men came down to
have look at the " Yanks." Had your
coffee ?" asked one, Of blue-coat, stretched
disconsolately on the bank. {" Not sup"
answered the other. "Aint you had any ra-
tions tonight ?" "Only crumb or two
from the bottom of our haversacks." This
was told to the boys of the Fifty-fourth, and
old Virginia hospitality showed itself at
once. The men soon made their appearance
with coffee-kettles, corn-bread and bacon,
the best they had. In few minutes the
coffee was steaming, the bacon cooked, and
prisoners and captors sat down together
| around the campfire, /" like kinsmen true
and brothers tried" The hungry, grateful
Yankees ate with relish such as no one
can appreciate unless he has been in like
situation. No wonder there was warm
spot in every heart Of the Third Ohio ever
after for the generous Fifty-fourth. A fresh
slide in the magic lantern gives another Of

is Mission Ridge, which has just been
stormed. That long line of prisoners pass
ing over the pontoon bridge and up the
stony mountain road is the Fifty-fourth
Virginia. A soldier on duty at Kelly's
Ferry asked indifferenty of one of the pris-
oners, as the regiment passed." What regi-
ment is this ?" "The Fifty-fourth Vir-
ginia,' was the reply. In an instant the
loungers spraug to their feet and rushed to
camp. "The Fifty-fourth Virginia is at
the ferry" they shouted, as they ran in and
out among the tents of the Third Ohio.
The Ohio boys were quickly in motion.
Boxes from home and all reserve stores
were speedily ransacked. Coffee and sugar,
beef and canned peaches and the best they
had of everything were freely brought forth.
They remembered gratefully their debt of
honor, and paid it nobly. 1t was the same
old scene over, with the shading reversed.
For one night at least both confederates and
Yankees enjoyed again the sweet grace of
hospitality that could bring smile even to
the grim visage of war.-Selected.

An Illustration.

Some while ago two aeronauts, hanging in
mid-air, looked down to the earth from their
balloon, and wondered to see how small
great things had grown-ample fields were
contracted into little patches, the lake was
no larger than looking-glass, the broad
river with ships floating on its bosom seemed
like silver thread, the wide spread city
was reduced to the dimensions of village,
the long, rapid, flying train appeared but a
black caterpillar slowly creeping over the
surface of the ground. And such changes
the world undergoes to the eyes of him who,
rising to hold communion with God and
anticipating the joys of heaven, lives above
it and looks beyond it. This makes it easy,
and even joyful,ito part with all for Christ
81 this is the victory that overcometh the
world, even our faith.'-ThOmds Guthrie,

Wear Flannels.

The value of flannel next the skin cannot
be overrated. 1t is invaluable to persons of
both sexes and all ages, in all countries, in
all climates, at every season of the year, for
the sick and well; in brief, l cannot con-
ceive of any circumstances in which flannel
next the skin is not comfort and a source
of health. In the British army and navy
they make the wearing of flannel point of
discipline. Even during the hot season the
ship doctor makes daily examination Of
the men at unexpected hours, to make sure
they have not left off their flannels.

Forgiveness.

Forgiveness is not fancy nor feeling,
but an act OF divine mercy. 1t does not
take place in the mind of the sinner, but in
heaven-the highest court. Too many con-
found pardon itself with the assurance OF
pardon. Too many trust to their feelings
for the assurance of pardon, instead of trust
ing wholly to the promises of God. Feel
ings are very unreliable, for they are apt to
vary, and may be produced by trusting in
false promises, but Gods word is always re-
liable When one has the assurance OF par
don by Gods word then many blessed re-
suits will follow, among which are peace
and joy-peace in believing and Joy in the
Holy Spirit.-Selected.

Love is the most nicely constructed gentle mech

cold intellect of man walking the earth alone must
nave been like gloomy fire, and some men walk the
earth alone yet; but how dismal! Deep as men
may go. women 90 with them. High as men climb
without women they climb vainly. Nor is love
everywhere to be had least of all in crowds 1t
has many imitators, yet know it when it has
come. Youth is the time to seek it every year

tween hearts If love be put of, habits arise which
become our dismal other self. and these keep love

SATURDAY. Sept. 3-P NJ
This the duest day of the week at the Stock
Exchange. The recorded transactions in stocks
amounted only to l90,l60 shares against 2O4 900
shares yesterday. Yet the market developed
strong tone and prices generally made material ad-
yances The early market was stimulated bv nm
anticipation that the bank statement was going TO
show large increase of specie. When the state
mcnt was issued showing gain OF only Sl92 900
in specie, and loss of 1898, 900 in legal tenders
there was small reaction in prices But
particular pains were taken to explain that the
statement was made up on rising averages and some
wild assertions were venturcd regarding the amount
of specie the banks hold over the average amounf
that is reported for the week. The improvement in
prices was renewed and continued without any I'M
portant setback for the remainder of the day In a
word, the speculation to-day ignored every other
consideration except the money question. And the
general fancy being that for at least n few DAVIS
there VIII be no strlngcncy, AVERAGE holders of
stocks rciraincd from selling and operators gcner-
ally were buyers for quick turn hence the strong
tone which the market exhibited for the greater
part of the day and which was con pcuous at the
close ut a small reaction from the best figures
