The Place TO Leave Care.

Why should we insist on bearing our own
cares, when God is ready to bear them for
us Why do we magnify them, and null
tiply them, and brood over them, as if in
so doing we could relieve ourselves or make
them seem fewer and lighter Let us go
with them at once to him, knowing that It
is as self-righteous TO keep our cares as our
sins from him. Let us go to him with
thanksgiving as well as prayer. Oh, how
thanksgiving lightens all our burdens and
scatters all shadows How quickly care
leaves us when we rebuke it with Bless
the Lord, o my soul r'-H. Bonar.

The State Agricultural Society Again.

An anonymous person claiming to be "a
Member" of the Vermont State Agricul-
tural Society denies that any ballot is re-
quired on applications for membership in
that society. We merely stated that we
had been informed that such was the case,
and if our memory serves us correctly our
informant was the agricultural editor in
whose department I" A Members" letter
appears. The same person denies that any
attempt has been made, in years past, to
keep the time Of the annual meetings Of the
society from the public. The fact is, that
the first time we ever felt called upon to
criticise the doings Of the society it was on
this very ground. The only notices of the
meetings were then made in daily paper
in Rutland or Burlington and these only
two or three days before the time appointed.
Not one farmer in thousand could see
such notices, or reach the place in time if
he did; and at least two members to us
personally avowed and justified the purpose
to thus prevent large attendance, on the
ground that there would be likely to be "a
raid on the funds" How truthful "a
Member " is, may be judged by the charge
he makes against us that we have "never
been able to see anything but dishonesty,
corruption and imbecility in the manage
ment of any organized effort in the i'm
provement of agriculture in the state u"
and he instances the Board of Agriculture
and Dairyman's Association, as we'll as the
State Society and the Agricultural College,
but omits to name the most numerous and

NO ROOM.
"And laid him in a manger. because there was
no room for them In the inn"

And laid him in manger, because there wa
10 room for them in the inn"
No room, mother, midst the busy throng
Within, for thee to lay thy newborn child;
Not unto him, the Holy One, belong
Comfort and rest and ease the night-wlnd Wild
Pierces the humble roof beneath whose shade,
On lowly couch, the Child Of God Is laid.
No room, Lord Christi as in the days OF old,
80 now the busy world doth pass thee by;
Fierce wars still rage. and avarce and gold
Hold sway; and vain faithless hearts outcry,
In all their stubborn selhshness and sin,
No room for thee, Holy Babel" within.
No room. Prince Of Peacei we sing thy praise,
And hail the glory Of thy holy birth;
Again with loud accord our voices raise
Tho angels hymn Of Peace, goodwill on earthl |"
While on the breeze. repeated DER and Ger
Comes mingling with the strain the battles roar.
No room,-for over hill and vale are heard
The tramp Of armies and the clang Of arms;
Instead ofthy pure gospels peaceful word,
The cannon's thunder with it Wild alarms;
And burning villages and blood-stained plains
Show where the nend Of war triumphant reigns.
No room for thee amid the angry strife.
Ambitions arm pride's wild desire; but still
Though dreary be the darksome night of life,
And overhead the wild winds whistle shriil,
Thou liest Graded in the loving breast,
That like to Bethlehem's manger gives thee rest.

Move Along.

Having entered pew, move along; be
sure and move along. Do not block up the
end of the pew as if you did not intend to
have anybody else enter it, or as if you were
holding it for some special friends. Do not
rise to let others in, but move along and
leave the pew invitingly open 80 that they
will know they are welcome. If pew
holding six has five already in it, do not
file out in formal procession to let one poor,
scared woman TO go to the further end, but
move along and let her sit down at the end
next the aisle. 1t is not necessary now for
stalwart man to sit at the end ready to
rush out and kill Indians, as possibly it was

Pre.uden, Garfield Tell. a story,

Perhaps the Presidents state Of mind may be dis
covered, from story he told friend who called upon
him yesterday. In ISIS, when the Democrats organ
lied the House of Representatives for the first time,
after the war there was general clearing out Of old
clerks to make places fer the friends Of Democratic
Congressman. Two old attaches of the House, who
had held their places through many Administrations
Mr.. Barclay, the Journal Clerk and Dr. Nahaify,
one Of the Reading Clerks, supposed that Congress
could not get along without them, and that they
not, therefore, in any danger Of removal. Sit
ting in their chairs In their Office Gen. Garfield
said as they blew the smoke from their cigars they
congratulated each other: "weli it was to be ex-
pected that these poor devils Of under clerks would
lose their places, but solid. Adams, the new
turn out But one day, unexpectedly as thun-
der from n clear sky, came the announcement, that
even Barclay and Mahafy had been removed.
Both men immediately put ON their hats. and went
over to Sanderson's in search of liquid consolation
They drank confusion to Clerk Adams. and the
whole Democratic party, and ehuckled and laughed,
they called up in imagination the inextrieable
gle into which the business Of the House would get
they left their desk-, and finally, when
tol arm in arm. As they beat up against the wind
the plaza, DIR. Mahaffy burst ont into an i'm
moderate laugh ~ shay, Barclay" said he, won't
it he a good joke, when they come To gu their
Blended knees, and beg to back and straight
thing !" Just then, Barclay, who didn't seem
to appreciate the joke very much, stopped straight
