AN UNSEEN ANGEL.

Soft fell the tender shades of eve, the comm,
night foretelling;
Afar and near rose sweet and clear the organ!
song upsWelling;
To other ears wordless hymn; to mine at
tuned to sadness,
Each note was full and running DER with Low
ing praise and gladness.
With weary heart and tired feetI crossed the
sacred portal,
Weary of sin and tired of toll, the common lot
of mortal.
Down through the aisles the music rolled, from
out the organ ringing,
The angel met me at the door, a Joyous message
bringing
'Give thanks, the Lord our God is good, His
mercy faileth never;
Be glad, oh Heaven, and sing, oh earth ou1
God is God forever.'
81 am too tired to sing" said; 81 have nc
thanks to render,
Life's path is cold and hard to tread, nv fee,
are sore and tender.
Where friendships torch should constant burn,
it shows but fitful flashes;
The gold grasp to rust will turn, the fruit is
only ashes.
They have the less of care to bear whose life
is soonest ended"
Sweet with the organs solemn roll the angels
answer blended
'sEnvy thou not the quiet dead, nor covet thou
their sleeping.
Bear bravely thy appointed lot, thy faith and
honor keeping;
And hold this blessed truth in mind, forget its
beauty never, ,.
Whether Life smiles or darkly frowrs, Our
God is God forever!'
4T am sick of SIM said, sand sin is all sur
rounding,
The good would do do not because of sin
abounding.
Ireach toward the higher life, my soul for free
dom longing,
My feet are struggling in the mire where base
desires are thronging.
What need is there of sin to be? Why spurn
not its profferss
The very bitterness of death is in the cup it
Offers
Still underneath and far above the organs
solemn pealing
The angels tender melody unto my heart came
stealing
'Behold the Cross! tired soul, lay down thy
heavy burdenl
Seek here the strength oft-promised as true
faiths unfailing guerdon.''
81 have no faith,'' I said with tears. "Why
should cease from crying?
Within the clasp of these sad years my darling
dead are lying
Why are they gone while am here? My grief
is just and holy
The angel sang still sweet and clear, still low
ingly and lowly-
AsThy dead are safe in Gods own care; O. sad
soul, cease thy wailing.
Earth hath no guardian any where so loving, so
unfailing,
The Lord is very pitiful unto His chlldren's sor-

The Canaan Case.

The statement in the Argus of October 10,
in regard to the voting for town representa-
tive in Canaan, is as fair as could be ex-
pected from that source. That there was a
mutual agreement that neither should make
representative from Canaan is emphatically
denied by Mr.. Hartman. In response, he
says that to a request of a few of the law
abiding citizens of Canaan, about a dozen of
the voters were formally invited to appear be-
fore the grand jury, convened at Guildhall
on the third Tuesday in September. Nor
rison and his lieutenants Went down accom-
panied by three or four men, one of whom
was recognized as democrat who had an
nounced just before election, that he was
in the market, and, as no attention was
paid to him, called on one of Mr.. Harri-
mans friends and offered to sell his vote
but was not even asked his price. Mr., Har.
riman says he was threatened with retalia-
ton, but had no fears of it as he had not tried
to buy votes and had authorized no one else
to do so in his behalf. After much urging Mr.
Hartman consented to an interview, and
met five men who showed plainly that ~
guilty conscience needs no accuser." Mr.
Hartman was imprudent enough to attend
that interview without witness, and the
whole five, in their zeal for the truth, would
rival Ananias or even the Argus itself
Mr.. Hartman claims that bribery of the
grossest kind was practiced by the demo
cratic candidate, and has afiidavits to sus
tain his claim George w. Wing will ap

Reunion Of Veterans.

The first annual reunion of Company G,
Sixth Vermont Volunteers, was held at
the Grand Army hall in Waitsheld, October
IL. AT noon the survivors drew rations,
provided by the ladies', at the vestry of the
Congregational church, and were then called
to order by the president, G. E. Spaulding
Upon the call of the roll it was found that
twenty-six members of the original COM
pany were present. OF the whole number
191-who were members of the company
from first to last, only seventy-nine could
be accounted for. Officers were elected, as
follows: President, Il. l.. Smith of Barre
vice-president, Stephen Johnson of Fays-

could not be used for buildings These, with
libraries, museums, etc, were left to be
provided from the bounty of friends, the
state OF other sources. In Indiana the in
come from the Immigrant fund had been
supplemented by state grant of $3.50 900,
contribution of $4,000 by the county
where the college is located, 100000 by in
dividuals and $4,000 from other sources.
In Ohio the fund was reinforced by more
than half million dollars, while in New
York, through the munificence of Cornell,
$4,000 900 had been realized for the fund.
The senator showed how the government
aid had been richly supplemented in other
states by state aid and by the benefactions of
individuals. These facts represent the favor
able opinions of the states as to the purpose
of the act of 1869. Twenty-three colleges
now receive an annual state appropriation
exceeding in ten the annual income from the
land-grant fund. Only the interest of the
fund can be expended in teaching such
branches as are related to agriculture and
the mechanic arts. The senator argued
that not manual but intellectual labor was
contemplated by the administration, not
field labor. The classics were not to be ex-
cuded therefore they were included,
Broad and liberal culture was intended, not
such as a foreman might give to apprentices.
The senator inquired what Vermont had
ever done in the way of supplementng the
fund by state appropriations. He main

to aid the College either through the en-
dowment of professorships, providing a
military hall for the practice of military
tactics in winter or in endOwing state schol-
arships. The senator's address was replete
with interesting matter on the general sub
ject of education, enlivened by the play of
humor and pointed by anecdote.
Judge Powers, graduate of the uni
versity, made a brief but forcibe argument
for his cherishing mother" He made the
point that the state insisted when it granted
the charter of the university and agricul-
tural college in 1865 of insisting upon an
even division of the property of the college;
that the university agreed, in consideration
OF the $1,000 interest on the land grant fund
to be paid to her by the state, to give the
state half the directorships on the board of
management and half interest in the prop
erty of the institution. The agricultural
college thus became the legal bond of union
of the state with the university. The state,
holding half the directorships and title to
half the property, was bound to do some
thing for the college.
