ON MOUNT HGREGOR.

Forgotten is the sword. The bugles blast
No moro recalls fierce memories of the fight;
Faint echoes only, drought the voiceless night.
Come softly floating from the muffied past
Lies lowering flag is almost furled. At last
Hope spreads her wings for her departing flight.
And on the oarkening fields the lingering light
OF days declining YEARLY is cast.
A deadlIer battle now Is waged-and now,
The arm of Victory to the shoulder barred
Strikes, from the opposing side, the dauntes
brow
Which Wars red hand and SANDERS fang hath
spared
But Honor writes on Glorys shield his name,
Aud by his side still stands unconquered Fame.

PHILOSOPHY FOR HOT WEATHER.

Washington Irving so the story roes once
said to a lady friend: "Don't be too ANXIOUS
"about the educa ION of your daughters. They
twill do very well don't teach them SO many
"things teach them one thing" "And what
may tina. one thing bel" inquired the lady.
Teach them" counseIled the author of
"The Sketch Book" "to be easily
pleasedn No more sensible piece of advice could
well be given to perspiring Americans who go
about these days finding the grasshopper a
burden. The best way to keep cool and serene
is not by putting cabbage leaf in ones hat. Is
not by putting water IN ones stomach, nor
yet by tarrying long at the straw that leads to
mixed drinks. Such devices are not to be de-
spsed, but the most effective weapon
with which to ward of the heat
is the fine art of being easily
pleased The man who is easily pleased
is man that can rely upon his digestion, and
digestion as everybody knows, is half the battle
of life even when the mercury is standing at @
narrowing height.
Thrice happy is he who has learned to BIZ
! easily pleased. He has found the philosopher

The Villas Letter.

1t is evident that President Cleve-
lands ideas on civil service reform are
not shared by all his cabinet that is,
if POstmaster-General Vilas's "conti-
dential' letter is genuine, and it is so
accepted generally. We give the gist
of this letter in another column. We
trust Mr.. Cleveland will see Mr.. Villas
and instil little of his spirit of reform
into him. The Newport Express sizes
up the matter very we'll as follows {:
The pOstOfhces are not political APP
pOintments. They are simply agencies
of "A great business and their Overseers
should be chosen for their business
ability without regard to the political
party to which they happen to be-
long. There is no more need for
changing the employees of the post
office department for political reasons
than there is for an express company
to do the same thing when it gets a
president of different political faith.
If an express messenger should show
any political Partially in the delivery
of his packages he would be open to
instant removal, and equally so should
a postmaster. But as long as the bust
ness of the office is performed in bus
inesslike manner it should be 10 ques-
ton of politics.

On Wednesday of last week four of
our young men were brought before
Judge Rogers to give an account of IL
nights experience with a pack of cards
and a gallon of rot gut whiskey, which
was furnished by one Henry Switzer,
at whose house the interesting enter
tainment was held. Switzer is an old
w-breaker and spends so much of his
earnings for liquor that the town are
obliged to assist in the support of his
family. His fine and costs amounted
to sixty dollars, in default of which he
was compelled to take his departure
for st. JOhnsbury Jail, to await Sheriff
sideways leisure to take him to Rut
land, where we hope he will stay long
enough to get thoroughly sObered.
John and Freeman Flanders, Seth AL

five dollars and costs, which they paid.
There has been some excitement for
a few days in regard to some unearthly
sounds which have been heard from

The Free Press contains an account
of the suicide of Mrs. Maggie E. Smith,
wife of John Smith, pilot of the steam
er A. Williams. On last Thursday
morning, Mrs. Smith started to visit
friends in Essex, n. Y, intending to

be in her usual health and spirits in
the morning, with the exception that
she had not rested well during the
night. After the boat had left Essex.
Mr.. Smith went down to find his wife
and have her eat breakfast, but found
the door of his state room bOlted on
the inside. He returned to the deck
and climbed through the state room
window, which he found open. Mrs. |
Smith was not TO be found Her para
sol, veil and bonnet lay on the cover
let of the bunk, and her gold watch |
and chain lay in the open case. The |
momentary fit of insanity, crawled |
through the stateroOm window and |

showed some signs of dementia on pre-

alarming.

may work together in establishing the
