The Voice OF the People.

The people, as a whole, seldom make mis-
takes, and the unanimous voice of praise
which comes from those who have used Hoods
fully justifies the claims of the
proprietors of this great medicine. Indeed
these very claims are based entirely on what
the people say Hoods Sarsaparlla has done.

GOOD THOUGHTS.

All other knowledge is hurtful to
one who has not the science of hon.
esty and good nature.
Idlers can not even afford to be
idle, or the industrious to be at lei
sure. We must be always doing or
suffering.
He cannot forgive others, breaks
the bridge over which he must pass
himself, for every man has need to
be forgiven.
1t is impossible that an ill-natured
man can have spirit; for how
should he love ten thousand men,
who never loved one?
Everything that looks to the flu
ture elevates human nature; for new
er is life so low, OF so little, as when
occupied with the present.
He that does not those things
which are of use and necessity for
him to know, is but an ignorant man,
whatever he may know besides.
A friend should be one in whose
understanding and virtue we can
equally confde, and whose opinion
we can value at once for it's business
and sincerity.
Let grace and goodness be the
principal loadstone of thy affections
for love which hath ends will have an
end; whereas, that which is founded
on true virtue will always continue.
If you have great talents, industry
will improve them; if moderate abil-
tiles, industry will supply the def
cheney. Nothing is denied to we'll
directed labor. Nothing is ever to
be attained without it.
True generosity does not consist in
obeying every impulse of humanity,
in following blind passion or cilcum-
stances by present benefactions, SO
as to render us incapable of future
ones.

The Baby's Journey.

It was summer where she was going,
And muslin, white and thin,
With dainty hem, was chosen
For the sweet to journey in.
Silken lace for her wee white arms
And her little shoulder bands,
And immortelles so fair and white
For her precious, precious hands.
And OH the baby's journey,
What gladstone time she had,
What flowers bloomed bright about her,
What music that made her glad;
What loving hands that led her,
What tender eyes that smiled,
What joyous welcome everywhere
Waited our darling child
We know that the baby's journey
Led first through the valley dim,
But the loving Christ was with her,
And we trusted it all to him;
And we know that loyal lilies
That lean over the restless tide,
Forever are bright with the glory
That is just on the other side.
Oh, little precious wanderer,
We know that your baby feet
Have passed the mystic boundaries
Where the earthly and heavenly meet.
Forgotten are good bye kisses,
Forgotten are passionate tears,
In the beauty and light and glory
That met you beyond the stars.
No pain for the love death kisses,
No tears for the bright eyes to weep;
She hath passed from our caresses
To one far more tender and deep.
But be pitiful, God, if in our blindness,
When the fountains of anguish are stirred,
We forget for moment thy kindness,
And sigh for paradise bird.

OUR COMMON SCHOOLS.

Common school education is free
to every child in this state, and mon
ey enough is expended for their edu-
cation to fit them all for the ordinary
duties of life. But hundreds of chill
dren grow up and 60 out into the
world with very meager knowledge
not only of books but of practical
ideas which are needed in everyday
life. The young man or the young
woman who goes out into the world
world to-day, must know something.
If they do not, they must spend some
of the best years of their life in
learning it, or becoming discouraged
because of the more rapid progress
of others, they drift away into crime,
and instead of being a blessing they
are curse to their friends. Every
citizen has a personal interest in the
education of children, pecuniarily and
socially, whether they admit it or
not. Property is more valuable in
an intelligent community, and social
life is infinitely more enjoyable In re-
fined than in vulgar society. We
are taxed to educate the children and
fit them to become honorable and
useful members in society. The
question which interests us as tax
payers and citizens is whether our
money is expended in the most judi
cious way or not. Do our children
get the best possible returns for the
large outlay of money. While we
can see progress all around us, we
know that our common schools are
but little if any better than they were
years ago. Our common school sys-
tenn is acknowledged to be behind
the systems in many other states,
and our deficiency in this respect is
largely chargeable to the farmers,
because they are a majority of the
voters. This should not be so. Yer
mont farmers are not whit behind
others in their farming operations,
and there is no good reason why they
should be behind in anything. Broth
er farmers, let US look our school in
terests square in the face during the
coming months, and so inform our
selves by discussions and personal
observation, that when we are called
upon to act in the matter, we may do
so intelligently. This subject should
be thoroughly discussed by every
grange in the state.-Patron's R,tral.

The conquered problem stood,
And the boyish words of victory,
''I'v got it, mother! Good"

The thoughtful face are gone.

THE SUPREMACY OF THE EN-
GLISH LANGUAGE AND
LITERATURE.

President Eliot, of Harvard, dis |
cusses the question ''What is Lib
eral education ?" in the June Centu-
ry. Its Importance lies in the fact
that so prominent scholar and edu-
Gator should take such strong ground
in favor of making the sciences and
the English language leading branch
es in the college course. While ad
mitting that Latin and Greek are val
liable studies. he says of English:
''The first subject, which, as / con-
ceive is entitled to recognition as of
equal academic value OF rank with
any subject now most honored IS the
English language and literature.
When Greek began to revive in Eu-
rope, English was just acquiring
literary form but when Greek had
won its present rank among the lib
eral arts, Shakespeare had risen, the
English language was formed, and
English literature was soon to become
the greatest of modern lteratures.
How does it stand now, with its i'm
mense array of poets, philosophers,
historians, commentators, critics,
satirists, dramatists, novelists, and
orators? 1t cannot be doubted that
English literature is beyond all COM
| parison the amplest, most various,
and most splendid literature which
the world has seen and it is enough
to say of the English language that
it is the language of that literature.
Greek literature compares with En-
glish as Homer compares with Shak-
espeare, that is, as infantlle with
adult civilization. 1t may further be
said of the English language that it
is the native tongue of nations which
are pre-eminent in the world by force
of character, enterprise, and wealth,
and whose political and social insti-
tutions have higher moral interest
and greater promise than any which
mankind has hitherto invented. To
the original creations of English gen.
lus are to be added translations into
English of all the masterpieces of
other literatures, sacred and profane.
1t IS very rare scholar who has not
learned much more about the Jews,
the Greeks, or the Romans through
English than through Hebrew, Greek,
or Latin.
And now with all this wonderful
treasure within reach of our youth,
what it the position of American
schools and colleges in regard to
teaching English? Has English liter
ature the foremost place in the pro-
grammes of schools? By no means
at best only subordinate place, and
in many schools no place at all.
Does English take equal rank with
Greek or Latin in our colleges? By
no means not in the number and
rank of the teachers, nor in the con-
sideration in which the subject is
held by faculty and students, nor il
the time which may be devoted to il
by a candidate for degree. Unit
within few years the American col
leges made no demand upon condi.
dates for admission in regard to
knowledge of English; and now thai
some colleges make q small require
ment in English, the chief result Of
the examinations is to demonstrate
the woeful ignorance of their own Ian
guage and literature which prevail:
among the picked youth of th'
cOuntry,'

ANCIENT MUsIc.-The Egyptian

The Grecian Tyre had seven strings

that made the walls of Jericho fall,
were only rams horns; their flute
was the same as the Egyptian I;
they had no other instrumental music
but by percussion, of which the
