This world is made up of many
kinds of people and it is impossible
to make all think alike. Here is
what the New York Post says con-
corning the proposed railroad to
Stowe -
The pretty village of Stowe, in Yer
mont. distant a few miles drive
through lovely country from the near
est railway station, has preserved up
to this time its rare charm of seclu-
sion, which has made the place at
tractive to people of taste whose
summer lettering there has been I'M
disturbed by noise of trains and the
throngs OF cheap ''trippers." Unhap-
PLY the Stowe farmers are InSenslble
to these attractions, and to their mon
ey value, and just now have actually
voted $780, 900 out of their moderate
means to promote railway through
the place. The railway will defaCe
the pretty valleys and destroy the re-
tired and tranquil air of the village,
which has been the chief cause of its
summer patronage with the accompa-
nying stimulus to the ''home market ~;
it will ruin the local staging and team
ing industries, it will bring in tramps,
and carry away the custom of the
Stowe shop-keepers to the larger
towns north and south. One such
instance more or less is not by itself
important; what is important is that
the uncalculating rage for railways is
so fast spelling our quiet spots, to the
injury of their inhabitants, and to the
grief of the summer visitors, whose
one longing is to get away from rail
ways, and all other forms of dirt,
noise, and progress"

In an article on immigration to the
New England States, the Keene On.
H. Observer very plainly sets forth
reasons why such movement should
be encouraged and says -
The Vermont legislature, at its last
session, provided for the appointment
of a commissioner to formulate and SCI
forth the advantages of the State TO
immigrants, and especially to farmers.
No act of the legislature was more
for the good of the State, New
Hampshire may well follow suit. The
West and South have been built up
by steadily advertising to the world
their manifold advantages. These
advantages are not in reality greater
than those possessed by the East, but
steady advocacy has made them seem
so. The time has come for stemming
the western tide that is taking with it
the best of the young blood of the
East. Let Maine, New Hampshire
and Vermont have their commission
ers of immigration, not so much to
invite a large foreign population as to
hold the Yankee youth that has its
face turned westward and to make
our own young men see the advantages
of New England to live in and to die

Imagination into another century, for
it was first used in 1854, and even
before that time a church stood upon
that spot. 1t was the first Episcopal
church of the city, also the first Uni
tartan church. There is tradition
that it stands upon the spot that was

dale the hero of Hawthorne's ia
nous "Scarlet Letter" There is al
so tradition that "Hesteo Prynne,"
the heroine, is buried in the little GEM
etery near by. For the first so years
after the settlement of Boston this
was the only graveyard in the city,
but it has not been used for burials
for very long time. Many of the ia
nous people of the old days were
buried in it, Gov. Winthrop among
them. The body of Mary Chiffon,
the first woman to land on Plymouth
Rock, was also placed to rest here.
