A LAST WORD.

The present heated campaign will
terminate on Tuesday next. The
,cauldrou has boiled fercely, and
there has been no lack of fuel nor
hands to handle it. The merits and
dement's of candidates, planks, and
platforms have been echoed and re-
echoed throughout the land, and
need not be recapitulated here. We
take it that it is the duty of every
man to be politically educated, suf-
.6cient to give strong reason for
his faith and practice. 1t seems as
il there was sufficient known Of the
most prominent candidates now be-
fore the people and the principles
they represent, that every man should
be persuaded. And, believing this,
we are content TO leave the matter
in the hands of the voters.

OUR LEGISLATIVE LETTER.
From our SPECIAL Correspondent
MONTPELIER. Oct. q. 1881

MONTPELIER, Oct. 81, 1884.
Among the most exciting subjects
in the House last week, was the
proposition to change the shire town
of Orleans County. The advocates
of the measure scored the first Gin
ming; they succeeded in getting a
disinterested committee appointed
in the House and Senate, and an or
der to have them visit Irasburg and
look the whole subject over and re-
port. Removing county buildings
is something like pulling stumps,
they come easier after the roots are
rotten. From what I hear | should
think this stump was in good condi-
tion to pull. Another favorable
condition is, things always go down
hill easier than they go up. Senator
Thompson is presumably opposed to
removal, but as he is a candidate
for Judge, he is not in as good fight
ing trim as he would otherwise be.
In the Senate the interest center
ed around bills number two and
three, the last considered first. This
was introduced by Senator Green of
Franklin County, and provided that
the salary of the judges of the SUI
preme court should be $500, and
that it should be unlawful for them
to accept passes from railroad com
panies for themselves or families,
and that they should not act as ref
erees. The Judiciary committee, to
whom it was referred, amended it
by striking off all except what re-
lated to the salary, and making that
$4,000. Senator Green summed up
the case well when he said, "The
committee have amputated both
legs and bled the poor body so Sc
yerely that it is rot worth while to
try to save its life" The bill was
refused a third reading by a large
majority. This gun was loaded for
Judge Royce, but after the commit.
tee had drawn the shot it was not
considered worth while to fire it, Sc
it cannot be taken as any test on the
question.
Senate bill number two provided
for reducing the number of Judge:
OF the supreme court from seven tc
six. This measure was recommend
ed by the Governor, reported favor
ably by majority Of the judiciary
committee, and seemed to stand q
fair change Of passage, but like ey.
erything else that Senator Paul La.
introduced and advocated it died al
untimely death; even a majority Of
bis own committee who signed hi
report went back on him.
The election Of Judges has beer
set for November 9th. The pros
pect is fair now that Judge Royce
will be left and that Thompson Of
Irasburg and Walker Of Ludlow vii
be elected

LIGHT WOOD KNOT OF

The following bit of witupon the
part of North Carolina girl comes
to US from the Greenbrier White
Sulphur Springs, the fashionable
Virginia Summer resort and water
ing place:
Among the regular habitues is
Colonel B., a well preserved,
handsome old beau of uncertain
age. His society record is brilliant
and though he has raised many
hopes, yet season after season has
ended and the Colonel has yielded
his liberty to none. His special
strength is spride Of family, boasting
as he does, in season and oat of
season, not only the bluest South
Carolina blood, but the most direct
Huguenot descent.
During the past summerthere ap.

really in earnest for once in his
life. Those who knew him best
watched him closest, and were sure
he was on the eve of a victory. His
gait was more martial, his manner
more lofty than ever before, and the
poor ancestral Huguenots were
dragged to the front without mer.
cy.
Unfortunately a bit Of caves

NARROW ESCAPE.

Colonel Augustus Chopleigh, late
Of Her Majesty's Indian Army,
lived in stately retirement upon his
sung little estate in one of the
pleasantest Of the home counties.
From an outsiders point of view,
the Colonel seemed to possess
most things which are generally
considered to constitute mundane
happiness. Yet with all this, the
Colonel had two eternally grinning
skeletons in his cupboard.
The first was the possession Of q
ne'er-do-weel son, and the second
was the non.possession Of wife.
Augustus Chopleigh, junior, al
though q ne'er do weel in the eyes
of parent, was, after all, but an
ordinary, ''every-day young man."
He betled little, it is true; he be.
longed to club where play was
sometimes high of an evening;
he could drink his claret like man,
he was q connoisseur in cigars; he
possessed two or three long tailors'
bills; and he was given to staying
in town sometime for week at a
time. Still, after all, what could be
expected of high-spirited young
fellow who had received a first rate
education, and was therefore unfit
ted for any serious walk in life;
who was good.looking, who dressed
we'll, who found life at stately Dunn
Dunn Hall little monotonous at
times, and who had a handsome
annual allowance
But in the eyes Of the Colonel all
these little peculiarities we're helm
Gus crimes. and the poor old gen.
tleman, as he pondered in the soil.
tude of what he called his "study,"
saw very clearly that unless the
young man was settled in life with
a well bred, well-connected girl, he
would infallibly follow, at headlong
pace, that broad road which leads
to destruction.
Often alone at Dunn Dunn Hall,
deprived of the society of his son,
and not caring very specially for
that society when offered, it was
hardly to be wondered at that the
Colonel yearned for a suitable
partner in his exile.
The memory of the departed
Mrs. Chopleigh could hardly be
said to be yet green, for she had
succumbed to an aggravated attack
of Jingle fever some twenty years
before, when Augustus, junior, was
but a STRIPPING in plaid dresses and
bare legs. 1t might be said that the
remedy was easy. Why didn't the
Colonel take unto himself a second
Mrs. Chopleigh q? There were
plenty of eligible spinsters who
would have jumped at an offer from
such fresh faced, active, wealthy
gentlemen, who was but little be
yond the prime of life. There was
however, an almost invincible OBJ
stacle. Unlike most military men
Colonel Chopleigh was painfully
shy perhaps remembrances of the
departed Mrs. Chopleigh, who wa

THE WAY OF THE WORLD.

i There safe a crow on a lofty tree,
Watching the world go by;
He saw throng that swept along
With laughter loud and high.
SIN and out through the motley rout, "
Pale ghosts stole on unseen,
There hearts were longing for one
sweet word
OF the love that once had been,
But never lip there spoke their names
Never tear was shed;
The crow looked down from his lofty
tree,
IT'S the way of the world, she said.
A singer stood in the market-place,
Singing a tender lay,
But nc one needed his sorrowful face,
No one had time to stay.
He turned away; he sang no more;
How could he sing in vain?
And then the world came to his door
Bidding him sing again.
But he rocked not whether they came
or went
He in his garret lay dead;
The crow looked down from his lofty
tree,
y '"Tis the way Of the world" he said.
There safe Queen by cottage bed,
Spoke to the widow there;
Did she not know the same hard
blow
The peasant had>to bear?
And she kissed that humble pleasant
brow,
And then she bent her knee:
"God of the widow, help her now,
As thou hast helped me-
''Now God be thanked" said the old,
old crow,
As he spend from his lofty bough;
''The times are Ill, but there's much
good still
In the way of the world, I trow,"
