The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1888-12-26

We were struck lately by the or
DERBY behavior of a large family of
children, particularly at the table. We
spoke of it to their father, and he
pointed to paper pinned to the wall
on which were written some excellent
rules. We begged a copy for the bene.
fit of our readers. Here it is: Cd
Shut every door after you, and without
slamming il. (2) Don't make prac.
tice of shouting, jumping or running
in the house. (3) Never call to per-
sons upstairs or in the next room; il
you wish to speak to them, go quietly
to where they are, CD Always speak
kindly and politely to everybody
if you would have them do the
same to you. (5) When told to dc
or not to do a thing by either parent
never ask why you should or should not
do it. (6) Tell of your own faults and
misdoings, not of those of your brother,
and sisters. CD Carefully clean the
mud or snow off your boots before en-.
tering the house. (S) BE prompt at
every meal hour. (O Never sit down
at the table or in the sitting-room witt
dirty hands or tumbed hair. 90,
Never interrupt any conversation, bu
wait patiently your turn to speak
QD Never reserve your good manners
for company, but be equally polite a
home and abroad. Q2) Let your first
last and best confidante be your mother

BY that time the 'squire's blues had
all blown over, and, as he settled him
self in his easy-chair for talk, his wife
said cordially to the visitor:
am glad you happened in; the
Squire was finding me rather dispirit-
ing company. Take off your coat; din
ner will be ready presently"
Yes, yes" put in the Squire.
"Throw off your coat. This rough
weather is hard on the women-folk; no
wonder they get the blues. They can't
get out, you know; but March isn't of
much consequence, any way, only to
visit in, and fix up business--nor April
either, for that matter. | never let the
weather affect me as long as | have
comfortable quarters and wood a plenty.
Times are looking up little, ar'n't
they?"
The cheerful wife laughed little as
she put the potatoes into the oven to
bake, and said to her visitor, who had
followed her, Just like mani up and
down with the thermometer, as variable
as March winds and as uncertain as
April showers; but it is well enough to
take up with good offer of a husband
when you have one, my dear, for they
are amazing handy to have about the
premises"
As the visitor laughed merrily, she
thought to herself, "Sarah was not the
only lucky one in this alliance. l won

Sarah. "-Sprinafeld Republican

Constitutional Catarrh

No single disease has entailed more suffering or
fastened the breaking up of the constitution than
Catarrh. The of smell, of taste, of sight, of
hearing, the human voice the mind-one or more,
and sometimes allyicld to its destructive Influence.
The poison distributes throughout the system at
taeks every vital force and breaks up the most ro-
bust of constitutions. Ignored, because but little
understood, 10y most physicians impotently assaulted
by quacks and charlatans, those suffering from it
have little hope to be relieved of it this side of the
grave. 1t is time, then, that the popular treatment
of this terrible disease by remedies within the reach
of all passed into hands at competent and
trustworthy. The new and hitherto untried method
adopted by Dr. Sanford in the preparation of his
RADICAL CURE has won the hearty approval of
thousands 1t is instantaneous in arordng relief in
all head colds sneezing, snufliing and INSTRUCTED
breathing, and rapidly removes the most oppressive
symptoms, clearing the head sweetenng the breath,
restoring the senses of SMELL taste and hearing,
and neutralizng the constitutional tendency of the
disease towards the lungs, liver and kidneys.
SANFORD's RADICAL CURE consists of one bottle

An Artists Childhood.

There are the usual stories told of
Rousseau's childhood; how he was fond
Of The open air, noticed the colors of OBJ
jects and, in descriptions of what he
saw, showed the mind of the future
painter Several of the family had
been artists, aud there is no doubt that
his artistic instinct was hereditary.
When about fourteen Theodore be-
came an assistant TO a friend of his
father who had a saw-mill of a peculiar
kind in the forest of the Franche- Comte,
in the far east of France, and there in
his leisure time he became imbued with
The very essence of the woods in all their
solemniiy and grandeur. Rousseau
felt the inspiration for painting within
him, and he determined To try himself
aud prove what he could do before tell
ing any one. When he got back TO Paris
he bought box of colors and went off
to sketch at Montmartre, the northern
suburb where Michel before him had
found so many fine subjects. The
youth worked hard at his study for sew
cral days, and the result was drawing
which still exists, and which has been
described as exact, firm and of good
natural color. Rousseau's parents were
delighted at this evidence of their sons
ability; but they prudently took advice
on the matter. Under the eye of a near
relative the boy made careful studies,
with the result that he was sent to the
studios of Rcmond and Lethiere, paint
ers now totally forgotten. Besides his
work there he went sometimes TO the
Louvre to copy the sunrises of Claude
and the animals of Karel du Jardin.
But he could not rest in Paris; in June
1880, he left with the feeling that he
must 90 further afeld. He went straight
to the mountains of Auvergne, where,
three hundred miles south of Paris, he
saw nature still resting supreme. In
Auvergne he found a country and a
people that suited him; on every side
were the rocks, the villages, the solemn
streams, with here and there long Level
landscapes, with lengthy perspectives
such as in his later life he so loved tc
paint. He used to spend whole nights
in the open air in order to observe the
earth in darkness. He even sought tc
find subjects for pictures by making
special friends with the poor people OF
the country and by living with them in
their cottages. -1he Magazine Of art 70,

Norwich, Conn, has the only horse
III the world that has been UP tree.
He is an old blind horse, and has passed
to the stage when it is not of much
consequence to him where he is or
what he does. In hauling ice for the
Norwich Town Wooden Company ice
house, which is on the steep side of the
Yantic river, ne backed off the twenty
iive-foot embankment and lodged in the
upper bOughs of an old elm. He rested
there easily, his fore feet dangling over
one limb and his hind legs hanging
over another, while on his face was an
expression that was interpreted to mean
that wherever he was he was satisfied
that his job had become better one
than hauling ice up vertical tackle.
1t was not easy to tell what to do with
him, and twenty men gathered about
the trunk of the elm and thought.
Some one finally hit on an expedient.
A man went aloft and fastened a rope
to the tree-tOp, came down, and thir-
teen men took hold of the rope at a
safe distance from the tree. Then a
woodman went to work to fell the tree.
The rest of the party waited to see the
horse and tree come down. The chop
per cut the trunk half through, the
weight of the horse bore the top down
ward, the descent being graduated by
the men at the ropes, and the animal
was gracefully and safely lowered to the
river ice. The horse was led around
the embankment, hitched to the tackle
again and his job of hauling ice was
resumed.
