VERMONT IN CONGRESS.

OF Vermont's delegation in con-
gress the Boston Journals Washing
ton correspondent says: vermont
retains her senators Edmunds and
Morrill, = and probably will until,
with declining years, they shall wish
to be relieved of political burdens.
Mr.. Edmunds will probably remain
president of the senate, if the health
of Senator Anthony will not permit
him to take the old place with which
his associates would be glad to hon
or him. Mr.. Morrill, looks in vlgor-
Gus health, and each year seems to
grow more in appearance like Charles
| Sumner. The new representatives
are John W. Stewart of Middlebury
and Luke p. Poland of St. Johns
bury. It seems improper to call
1 Judge Poland a new member.
Years have not told upon his sunny
face, and one can almost imagine
that We are back in the old days of
his former congressional career, when
he occupied two most important
/ places-that of chairman of the ia
nous Credit Mobilier investigation,
and chairman of committee on revis-
ion of the laws, which gave us our

The ViOlin's Voice.
Pathetic Story ofa Musician and a Dy- ing Child.
 Hiram RaIoravjal


 ing Child.
 [Frem Belgravis
 The dark angel of death was standing out side the musician s door, for little Annita, ma estro NarGittis child, was fading away ; no tears, no prayers could avail, not even Car!s- sinas lovely voice.
 Carissima's voice was hushed now the Ma estro had no heart to take up his dearly loved violin and play to soothe his sorrow, he had done many years ago, when his wife died and left this little one behind.
 Heaven had given him the divine gift of genius and had bidden him call aloud to the world. So Carissima and he had played to- gether through sickness and sorrow and suc- cess, and through all the changing scenes of life they had been faithful friends.
 They had just come back from the crowded hall the people said that never before had the maestro played so beautifully and that never before had the violins voice sounded so mournful and pathetic.
 We'll, you see, they did not know the reason; but we do, for both were thinking of the l1ttl dying girl, and how could their thoughts be anything but sorrowful or the outward ex- pression of those thoughts be anything but mournfuI?
 The father was weeping by his child's bed side. But she said Do not weep sing to messing me to sleep, for am so weary, dear father, and the evening has been so long without thee"
 Then he rose and played to her, and she closed her eyes and listened happily to Caris- sima's voice. It sang song without words the music alone told the tale-of pure young life, too pure for earth, and therefore to be taken away to that fair land where only the good and pure and true dwell. Yet 1t was hard to leave the earth, harder still to leave the dear ones behind and to know that they would be desolate and here the violin's voice sobbed and trembled as if from sorrow, and the melody became sadder and softer, as if describing the very parting which was soon to take place. then the lingering notes died away and the maestro's hand was still ''Is that all ?" murmured the child ''oh, | play again !''
 Once more he raised his bow on high and | the air resounded with psalm of triumph | the same melody. but no longer soft: or sad l for the gates of the fair land were opened wide and amid this jubilant strain the child has passed away with the angel of death.

 TRUTHS

The blood is the foundation of life, it circulates through every part of the body, and unless it is pure and rich, good health is impossible. If disease has entered the system the onLy sure and quick way to drive it out is to purify and enrich the blood.
 These simple facts are well known, and the highest medical authorities agree that nOtAing but iron will restore the blood to its natural condition; and also that all the iron preparations hitherto made blacken the teeth, cause head ache, and are otherwise injurious.
 BROWNS IRON BITTERs will thor oughly and quickly assimilate with the blood, purifying and strengthen ing 1t, and thus drive disease from any part of the system, and it will not blacken the teeth, cause head ache or constipation, and is posi- lively ,tot injurious.
