COUNTY.

Dear Christian Women
AT the earnest request of our state
superintendent of prison and Jail
work, Mrs. 7. G. Cole, | bring be-
fore your notice a department of
work which should enlist our active
interest, viz: Alms-house Visitation.
To use Mrs. Coles own words, cal
most every town in the commonwealth
has its poor-house. Some of the in
mates are brought there by misfor-
tunes for which they are in no way to
blame, and they are the proper object
of our tenderest GALE and sympathy.
But without doubt by far the larger
number are brought there by lives of
dissipation and recklessness. In
temperance and sin in other forms
has blunted their sensibilities and de-
formed their bodies so that they are
but the wrecks of what was originally
created in the image of God. But
they have souls for which Christ
died, and as Christian temperance
women of Vermont can we, dare we,
let them die like the brutes that per-
ish, without one effort to carry to
them the offer of salvation? Our
poor-houses are always situated re-
mote from churches and the public

with veracity and skipped to Jersey
City, where the New York sheriff
couldn't touch him and thence to
Philadelphia, where he took passage
for Europe.
The worst of these so-called sports
is that they are training to habits of
authoritative idleness large class of
tolerably intelligent young men who
might be better employed. The run
ners for the excursion steamers are a
terror to the timid, and the elevated
railroads have now taken to employ
ing 'bouncers," who carry their
threats into practice. One brute has
just been arrested for a cruel and
unprovoked assault on a passenger.
1t must be nice thing to be re-
ceiver. The position is dignifed,
and one can appoint any number of
assistants to help each other to keep
on doing nothing for as long as pos
sible. The receiver of the Continen-
tai Life Insurance Co. managed to
collect $640, 900, and it cost him to
do so, so he says, s750,000. The
stockholders have not, as a rule,
made quite so much out of the affair
as he and his friends have.
An unfortunate Hebrew has lust
been non-suited in very hard case,
because he failed to have a written
contract. 1t appears he made the
acquaintance of his father-in-law
some time ago, and so won on his
good will that he proposed to the
young man, the same evening, that
he should marry his daughter. The
young fellow said he'd like to see her
first. The father had no objection /;
she was duly inspected and approved
Oh anu the father III his delight at
the success of the sudden matchmak-
ing, promised to give Mrs. Lippman
Meyer some furniture and $500 cash.
lie didn't get the cash, but got angry
and mad, and was non-suited. By
the way, married Hebrews ALWAYS
have more expenses than other folks
for rents and furniture. They sleep
in large separate beds placed side by
side, and the bedrooms have accord
ingly to be quite large. RADIx.

means of grace, so that the inmates
could not attend them if they
wished, and alas, too often they have
no desire to do so. Persons in charge
of our poor-houses are employed to
care for their bodies only, and to get
what work the inmates may be able
to perform, but there is no provision
made for their spiritual welfare. l
am aware that in some few places,
alms-house visitation has been prac-
tised by Christian Association work.
ers, but in by far the larger number
of our aims houses, the inmates might
as well live in a heather land as in
Christian Vermont. / know that in
the past this has not been an error of
intention, but of thoughtlessness.
The inmates of our poor-houses are
to most of US, tout of sight, out of
mind.' But / ask the w. G.. t. U.
of Vermont, Shall it be so in the flu
ture? This is an open field for Cos
pei temperance work, and should be
occupied by earnest workers. Let
me urge every union to take it up.
Go to the alms-house, one or more,
on weekday or Sunday, as may
seem best; ask permission of the SUI
perintendent; gather the inmates
about you, read carefully selected
passages of Scripture, explain and
make personal application of the offer
of mercy through Christ to the peni-
tent sinner, and no matter how de-
graded the object, show him that by
repentance and laying hold on Christ
he may be saved; and depend upon
it, such labor of love will bear
fruit. If you do not see the evidence
of it, you will have discharged your
responsibility. Such visitation would
be priceless boon to those on the
verge of the grave and to the young
and profigate who may be here tenn
porarily, might be by the blessing of
God, the means of reforming lives
blighted by intemperance and other
forms of SIM"
Let us listen to these words. Can
we not take up this work for the Mas
ter in our county? Can we not
spend an occasional hour in minister
ing to the wants of our poor and
needy? Let us remember the exam
pie of Him who went about doing
good. We would recommend that
superintendent of poor-house work
be appointed in every union; also
that good books, magazines and pa
pers be solicited from the people for
distribution in our poor-houses and
that a loving, Christ-like effort be
made for the salvation of this hither-
to neglected class of human beings.

Affection Of a Dog and q Cat.

The strange friendship that is often
formed between animals of different
species finds i good illustration in the
actions of dog and cat belonging to
family residing on the east side of the
river. The dog is Isl intelligent spcci-
men of the brown spaniel breed, and the
cat is an ordinary maltese of the femi-
nine gender. During the winter the cat
and dog occupy the same bed in the
kitchen, the latter drawing himself to-
gether after the manner of CANNES, and
the former nesting into the space be-
tween the dogs legs and head. In this
manner the eats body is concealed from
sight, her head alone projecting from
the-to her-comfortable bed Early
in the morning the dog leaves the cat
and goes to another room for short
nap. When the members of the family
arise the cat arises also, and, seeking
out the dog, proceeds to wash his face

one set OF claws to the dogs ear, and
holds him until the toilet-making is
complete. The facial expression of the

treatment of this feline friend is Il study,

The family of Peter Matson, living
near Burlington, eat Watcrmclons for
dinner every day, and expect to do so
all Winter. Matson laid away 25O
melons during the season, preserving
them by a process which he Processes to
have invented. He vanished each
melon all over, and sealed up the stem.
Not long ago he invited number Of lis
friends to dinner, and brought out three
large watermelons for dessert. His
guests all united in saying that they
never tasted more delicious melons,
even in the regular season. The news
of Matson's preserving powers reached
a large fruit dealer in Philadelphia. and
a representative of the dealer went to
burlington and requested the privilege
of tasting some of the fruit lie pro
nounccd them delicious, and at once
negotiated for fifty OF the melons. Mat
son hcsitated for sonic time, but has at
last concluded to part with portion of
his stock. as the price offered was very
large. They are to be place on sale at
fabulous prices in Philadelphia in few
days. The dealer wants Matson to pre-
serve several thousand for him next
Summer, Or else sell him his process.

Longevity of the Oyster.

1t is proposed to give an account of
an interesting determination of the eX-
treme age Of n pair of venerable oysters
which have Just come into my posses
sion. They were given me by a profess
sional oyster-%rower, Captain r. S. II.
Brown, of Keyport, N. j., and belong to
planting in which he was concerned
thirty years ago. The young oysters
We're obtained from Virginia, and plant
ed i'll Raritan Bay, keyport. At the
proper time the crop WAS taken up and
sent to market. In all such eases there
are loavings or escapes from the drodG-
ing. The bottom being too hard, the
bed was abandoned, and never planted
again, and these oysters were found
there a few days ago. They are not
"naturaIs,' or natives, but simply natur-
allied ''Virginies,' a distinction which
II practical oyster-ralser will make un-
erringIy. Any one examining the shells
would infer the nature of the bed whence
they were taken, for the outer edges of
the S'shoots" or layers are smooth, rs if
worn by gentle motion on a compact
sandy bottom. Professor SGnaHct L0ca-
