According to a correspondent Of the
Boston Advertiser the Vermont experi-
ment of comforting the right of suffrage
in school affairs on women has not been
attended with success. The number of
women voting has steadily declined since
the passage of the law three years ago;
and this in spite Of the fact that meet
ings have been held, and repeated at
tempts made by Boston women suffra-
gists to stir the women up.in this matter.
Thus in Burlington at the first election
after the passa of the law sixteen out
of two hundred voted. At the second
election the number dropped to five,
and this year only eight votes were
thrown, though the number entitled to
vote had greatly increased. And what
is true of Burlington is rue Of the rest
of the state. Is it really true, as alleged
by the opponents OF woman's rights, that
women do not care for the right of suf-
frage? 1t would seem to be the fact
from this indifference to its exercise.

the perch family were to be had in
great quantities by the going, The par

other appliances, and were scattered
here and there over the now shallow
pond playing havoc with the finny tribe.
Master Joseph carried bag or corn
sack, in which to deposit the fish when
caught When loaded with as many as
he co'ld carry he would take them out
and make deposit and return for
more. In making one of these trips,
while wading through the water about
three feet deep, some distance from the
fishermen, monster alligator, said to
be of unusual size, rose suddenly right
at the boy and seized him by the thigh
A desperate struggle ensued-the boy

which hung by the boys side, was caught

other battle ensued. Thirty men armed
with gigs, poles, pocket.knives and such
other instruments Of war as were al
hand, charged upon the monster. Be-
ing in three feet of water, the gator had
considerable advantage, but these men
had their blood up and were not to be
out-done, when one ofthe party made
bold to seize him by the tail and legs.
There were too many of them for the
gator to slap around with his tail, pe-

WAS safe toapproach with pocket-knives.
Soon his head was severed from his

A Memorable Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving week was always busy

seemed TO Dear that it was buster this

understand it, either, for as they were
coming home from church on Sunday
she heard her mother say to Aunt Mar

thought they would h,ve sorrowful

But Tuesday morning there could be

Tiptop called "bonfire" made i'll the
great brick oven in the kitchen, which
since Dear's remembrance, was opened
and heated only during Thanksgiving
week. Tiptop mounted a char so that

thrust a small stick into the oven, their
satisfaction was complete. Dear paused
ID her hurried trips through the Kitchen,
to look into the blazing depths and think
of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego.
Then they all stood around to see the

declared it was t'just right" they

Ay' good man. close tho great barn door:
Inc mellow harvest timeis o'erl
Inc earth has given her treasures meet
VI golden corn and b, h,rdened wheat.
You, and your neighbors we'll have
wrought,
And OF the summers bounty caught;
Won from her smiles and FROM her tears
Much goods, perhaps, for;many years
You come tribute now to pay
The bells proclaim Thanksgiving Day.
Well have yot sowu, well have you
reaped,
And of the riches you have heaped
You think, perhaps, that you will give
A part, that others, too, may live.
But ifsuch argument you use.
Your niesa bepnty l refuse.
No gifts you on the altar lay
In any sense are given away.
Lo! rings from Heaven voice abroad:
Who helps Gods poor doth lend the
Lord"
What is yosr wealth? H'd have to know
To have it, you must let it go.
Think you the hand by Heaven struck
VIII yet have power to clutch its gold2
shrouds have no pockets, do they sayS
Behold, show you then the way:
Wait not till death shall shut the door,
Bat seld your cargees on before.
Lo! he that giveth of his hoard
To help Gods poor doth lend the Lord.
To-day my brethren-do not wait;
Yonder stands Dame Kelly's gate
And would you build mansion fair
In Heaven, send your lumber there.
Each stick that on her wood-pile lies
May raise dome beyond the skies;
You step the rents within her walls,
Ana yonder rise your marble halls;
For every pane that stops the wind
There shineth one with jasper lined.
Your wealth is gone, your form lies cold.
But in the city paved with gold.
Your hoard is held in hands Divine;
It bears a name that marks it thine.
Behold the bargain ye have made;
With usury the debt is paid.
Nomoth doth eat, no thieves do steal,
No suffering heart doth envy feel.
Ring out the words. Who ofhis hoard
Doth help Gods poor doth lend the Lord!
Go get your cargoes under way;
The bells ring out Thanksgiving Day!
