BENNINGTON.
March 7, 1884.

If there is any one thing that | am
thankful for, above everything else Of
good that | enjoy, it is that | am an
American citizen, and perhaps
should add that I live in this particu
lar age. AS man is the masterpiece
of Gods work in the way of animal
organization, so, believe, is this
government his masterpiece in the
way Of governmental organization.
Of course we are cursed with grum.
blers, so has every generation been.
This mean species of the genius Homo
has existed ever since Cain, cursing
humanity with its sour looks and
grumbl;ng words.
"Man never is, but always to be
blest," is the philosophy of their ex-
istence. The wise Solomon had
noted these fellows, even in his time,
for, YOU recollect, he refers to some,
who, like the grumblers, ask, "Why
were the former days better than
these ?" And the wise old fellow
says, "They have not inquired wise
ly." These thoughts have occurred
to me as / have read the various &C.
counts of the Gerardy case. That
man was iouly wronged by an igno-
minious bastard, who lacked the cour.

THE FAvORITE FLOWER.

"Yes, buckwheat blossoms" said q
florist to a reporter. ''It does not sound
very poetical. to be sure, but tine flower
is one Of the prettiest you would find in
a long time. See. here is cluster,''
and he took up y bunch of white flow
ers growing somewhat like heliotrope
and about the same shape. The stems
were delicate red and the blossoms
white with red centers. The fragrance
was delicate and like honey.
'.Buckwheat is just in fine blossom
all over our state about now," contin-
ued the florist, and at all the water
ing-places you will see quantities of it.
in boquets and other pieces. 1t was
first introduced at Newport, where it.
was hailed with Joy, but most people
didn't know what it was, but the for.
lists gave it q fanciful name. It makes
up beautifully with heliotrope or mign-
onette, and especially with pink roses,
and it does not fall to pieces like spi-
rea. It looks pretty by itself, too. L
am just going to send this huge bouquet
Of it to noted belle now at Saratoga for
. hop. l shall tie it with pale pink
ribbon and put ferns about the edgc.'

A NEGATIVE POWER.
THE STUDY OF CHILDREN.

Much of the success of the kinder
garten is negative, and consists in pre-
venting harm. Its positive success is
so simple that it cannot be expected to
attract more notice than, for instance,
fresh air, pure water, or the merit of q
physician by whose efforts family is
kept in good health. Thoughtful pa
rents are sufficiently aware how detri-
mentally premature schooling acts upon
the sound development of the body and
mind, how it destroys all the freshness
and pleasure of learning. and how only
too frequently it burdens whole life
with the most mischievous consequence
es. The healthier child is, the more
its life manifests itself in untiring ac-
tivity. Play is the child's natural,
earnest work; in play it develops best
and most naturally all the powers of
body and mind. A playing child is
wholly child-a complete child; and
inasmuch as it finds its highest happi-
ness and purest joy in the full gratifi-
cation of the inner and outer demands
of its nature, the demons of ill-humor
and bad habits cannot harm it. "Let
no one Think says Goethe, ''that he
can overcome the first impressions of
his life" And, in sooth, they are con-
trolling for all subsequent periods. A
joyful, happy childhood is like sum
shine to the whole life, and is of the
greatest importance for the complete
development of the chifd.-Prof John

The Bird Matinee.

Let me tell you of series of mati-
nees attended this summer, which
were given at three o'clock in the morn
ing.
The windows of my bedroom opened
toward the south on beautiful lawn,
bordered with elms. Year after year
comes the golden, or Baltimore, oriole,
most delightful of singers. He loves
best the swaying branches of the loft
lest elm for his home, that old Dame
Nature may rock the little ones to sleep
with every breeze. Robin-Redbreast
and Jenny Wren build lowlier homes
in more accessible places. Then there
is the linnet, who years ago forsook US
for a southern cline, but, perhaps
alarmed by the noise of war, returned
to her northern home. These were
some of the singers who gave tho
three o'clock matinees. They contln-
ued for two or three months. from May
nearly through July. and the pro.
gramme each day, for the first month,
seemed precisely the same.
First came loud, shrill, prolonged
call. always repeated three times,
which reminded me of q gong at a ho-
tel. 1t was evidently intended for the
rising-bell and for call to order. Af-
ter the last call came feeble peep. as
if one little fellow had managed to
arouse himself just enough to answer:
Then another replied little louder,
and another. until, in rapid succession.
all the dwellers in the grove announced
their presence, and answered to their
names. Then followed minute or two
of entire silence; after which the prima
donna, as it seemed to me, opened the
concert. 1t was loud, clear sweet
strain, so unlike any heard in the day.
that can not tell what bird it was; l
think only the oriole could pour forth
that delightful music. 1t sang alone
in clear, ecstatic strain. At certain
part of the solo two other voices broke
in as a trio, and at the end of the stanza
all the voices joined in full jubilee
chorus. This was repeated six times.
so that came to call it their hymn OF
praise in six stanzas. 1t was rendered
every morning in exactly the same
wav. After it there was singing bv the
full choir, and it grew louder and more
lmpasslOned, rs II each minstrel was
inspired by the rest. like the singing OF
a vast concourse.
After this grand climax, the voices
would die away, one after the other.
and the principal concert was over.
The parent birds went on their morn
ing fight, and their brides swung in
their wind-rocked hammocks for an-
other half-hour. At the expiration of
this time came call similar to the
first, although by different Bird
often whippoorwill. The summons
was repeated thrice, then came fec

and the juveniles Joined to the best Of
their ability. This concert was much
shorter than that of their parents, as
befitted their tender age, and ther hum

EARLY FALL CLOTHING.

The early Fall clothing is of great
importance to childhood. The change
of the seasons produces disturbance
which should be promptly met by ad-
ditional or warmer underclothing, care
in this respect often preventing severe
illness. Suitable underwear, protec-
ton in the way of cloaks, waterproofs,
rubbers and hoods, procured in time,
not waited for until the season is half
over. is OF far more importance than
the silk dress or coveted articles of
jewelry. To do the mothers Justice,
however, it is not the desire to spend
money on gewgaws that stands in the.
way Of the acquisition of comfortable
clothing for children half so much as.
the difficulty Of procuring the neces--
sary funds at the proper time from
their husbands. Those men who do.
not put a regular part of the income in
to their wives hands for family pur-.
poses or for clothing are usually made
quate in estimating the cost of even
the most necessary articles, and often
postpone their acquisition until the
mischief they would have prevented
has been done or much discomfort has
been endured. The first thing to look
for in our changeable climate IS warmth
and protection from the effects of the
sudden transitions; and we can best
protect ourselves and our children by
complete suits of wooden underwear,
graded in thickness according to the
season and temperature, and soft fan
mel or all-wool dresses. whose very
touch is sanitary. 1t is much better to
put money into warmth and care and
comfort for the children while they are
young and can be helped by it, than to
make childhood misery and put mon
ey into the bank to be squandered, or
In over much land to eat out the heart
Of young and old. It is easy to make
pretty clothes at little expense, for ma
terials are cheap enough; but the ag-
gregate cost is something and should
Be provided for, particularly when the
thrifty wife and mother saves more
than half by doing her own sewing

A LONG BRANCH GIRLS SCHEME,

For ingenuity in the matter of @s-
thetic pleasures the American girl
leads the world. Ayoung lady of Long
Branch has introduced q music box in
to her bathing house, which plays ap-
propriate tunes while she is preparing
for her bath. Could anything possibly
be more sweetly or charmingly psthet-
icP Starting of with ''As I View Those
Scenes So Charming" the tinkling in
strument switches on to "Give Ne a

takes down her back hair to the tune
Of ''Sweet Violets." and dashes out of
the clearinghouse amid the strains of
"A Life on the Ocean Wave.'' The
tunes are 50 arranged that xhep she
returns wet and dripping. the orchcs-
ira strikes up ''Shivery. Shaky. Oh,
Oh. Oh; Criminy Cricky, Isn't 1t Cold?"
and she puts the finishing touches to
her toilet to the sounds OF There Be

1t is high time our public men called

Post.
Mans surroundings nave much to do

works of art are great educators Of the

schoolboy or girl shall know the va
rious marks bv which to distinguish

which much valuable time is sure to he

':An teschins aima as putting the pl.
pill in possession Of ideas which he had
not previously possessed" writer re-
marks in the Indiana School Journal.
This is proposition which needs dis
cussion. 1t might we'll be asked if the
true aim of teaching was not rather the
quickening of the pupils mind?-C"r-
rent.
If We were to point out the remedi-
able defects most common in our
schools. one of the first would be the
neglect of the development Of charac-
ter among the children; the disposition
to look on teaching merely as an intel
lectual operation, machinery by
which the greatest amount of mental
training and knowledge could be it,
stilled in the least time-The Student.
The easy sneers of the critics against
':supericia1ity" have made many well
informed persons mistrustful of their
powers. But in this age everybody is
superficial in some directions. Nobody
'.knows it all. :" Agassiz used to learn
from the fishermen. Whether "a little
learning is dangerous thing" or not
depends good deal on the knowledge
learned, but more yet on the person
who possesses it. A little learning of
wickedness is dangerous. A little learn
ing of science. literature or art has
proved dangerous to many who had
not wit enough to keep them from pre-
tending to have much. In the sense in
which Pope used it, the caution ''drink
Deep" or taste not, is doubtless wise;
but it is manifestly mistake to apply
it generally in world where we stop for
80 short a time, and where there are SO
many things one needs to know some
thing about. Christian Register.
Our aim is to substitute habits. more
or less irksome, for natural tendencies;
to this end an apprenticeship is neces-
sary. We have to indicate what things
are exacted by common sense. by soci-
ETY., and even by personal interests.
Let us circumscribe each task, and be-
ware of attempting too much at one
time. We must interest ourselves in
the individual work of every child;
pointing out to each the particular good
habit that is desirable for him to ac-
quire; assisting his resolutions, encour-
aging his efforts. never blaming failure
where q genuine effort has been made,
receiving condolences with kindness,
and attaching the highest value to sim
cerity. Children are sincere as soon as
they find their teacher disposed to SYM
pathize with their weakness and mex
perience, anil to take more account of
honest, good intentions than of actual
faults.-C. g., in journal des hastitss-
ti0us.
