VERMONT FIRST.

We see it reported that the Moulton
Bros. of the Green Mountain Stock Farm
at Randolph took the gold medal for but.
ter at the Paris Exposition this summer.
Now, whether or not, they make the
best butter in the world, this award sets
them out in that light. They competed
with all Nations, kindreds and tongues
and carried away the prizes. This re-
fleets high credit, first of all, upon the
gentleman mentioned. II their butter
is no better than that of others made in
Vermont they had the enterprise to en-
winning or losing. In the second
place 1t reflects credit upon
Vermont, which will be known in this
affair quite as much as the gentlemen
who drew the prizes. As to whether
Vermont makes the best butter in the
world there may be a dispute, but
through the timely action of the Moul-
ton Bros. it stands to her credit in the
eyes of mankind that she has accom-
plished this, and every pound Of butter
that bears the Vermont label and sign
manual is worth more, in theory II not
in fact, IN the markets of the world. In
the third place it reflects credit upon the
United States that in a trial of skill with
the Nations in this direction il should
carry away the spoils of the victor. 1t
is notable success that these gentlemen
have won and adds to the worth Of their
methods and the kind of stock they have
made use Of for their large dairy. And
yet in the face OF the fact that Vermont
has a worldwide reputation for sheep,
carries off the highest prizes for butter,
we sell our lands for a song and make
special offers 10 foreigners to induce
them to give us passing look 90 they
hurry westward.-Northfeld NeiCS.

appraised arm caught him around the
neck, and by tremendous muscular ef-
fort bore him to the earth. and his
cleaning blade flashed above his enemy'e e
face. 1t fell, not upon the throat but on
the shoulder Of the Mohicsn, who, by
an agile movement, lodged the descend
ing blow. Then, throwing his sinewy
arms around the Huron he drew him
close to his breast and repeatedly plung
ed his knife into the back of his adver-
sary until the grip relaxed, the body
rolled away and the PROSTATE Mohican
whoop of triumph rang out over the
lake, as he took the scalp Of ..his victim
and hurled his body far out into the
water.
As it disappeared in the lake, the vic
tor turned to the lifeless form of the In
dian girl, and cried, 20 Katonah Laugh
ing Eyes, treacherous and beautiful as
yonder waters. Even here, beside the
silvery Horizon, but few short months
ago you promised to wed the Soaring
Eagle, and light his wigwam with your
flashing eyes, and for you he would hunt,
and fight and get honor. By yonder
sinking sun, by the moon and the stars,
and by these holy waters, you swore to
be mile, aud called down the curse Of
Manitou il your words should be false.
But you forswore your oath, and fled
the wigwam Of the Sycamore, your
father, to daily with his enemy and
mine. Like a snake he stole into the
tent Of the great chief and stole the
heart Of Katonah, Laughing Eyes. The
Mohican never forgives nor forgets.
The Soaring Eagle is avenged. Yonder
below the dark water lies his body, and
already bis spirit has fled toward the
setting sun. Now must we follow him.
My spirit, and not his, must pass with
yours through the land of shadows 10
the happy hunting gound, for Manitou
has made you mine, forever mine"
Even as he spoke, he clasped to his
breast the lifeless form OF Katonah, and
leaped with her from the rock. Over
their heads rolled the waters of the Hori-
con, and through the shadowy pines
fioated solemn requiem for the dead.
A cloud has everspread the face OF the
moon, and now leaves us in it's shadow.
Again music aud shouts of laughter
meet our ears, and we row rapidly back
to the cottage, whose genial lights cast
faint glow over the water. Past the
faithful rock. around the break water
and into the dock, and quickly we re-
join the merry company on the piazza.
Yesterday and to day have met, but the
tale of Yesterday is told, while that Of
TO day is to be continued. We have to
do with the unfinished, not with the fin
ished.
Blood-stained lake of yesterday, thou
art but a direful dream Ours is the
beautiful, dimpled lake Of to-day, which
ripples 80 merrily and carelessly under
yon fatal rock. We will gather up the
pleasures Of the present, which are all
around us, and forget the bloody scenes
that are Of yesterday, dim and fanciful.

Brothers, is this the spot :
Let the drum cease to beat {;
Let the tread of marching feet,
With the clash and clang Of steel
And the trumpet's long appeal,
(Cry Of joy and sob ofpain
In Its passionate re frain)
Cease awhile,
Nor beguile
Thoughts that would rehearse the story
or the past's remembered glory -
Thoughts that would revive to-day
Stern Wars rude, imperious sway
Waken battles fiery glow
With its ardor and It's woe,
With its wild, exulting thrills,
With the rush of mighty wills,
And the strength to do and dare
BON OF passion and Of prayer
Let the present fade away.
And the splendors of to-day
For our hearts within us burn
As our glances backward turn,
What rare memories awaken
AS the tree of life is shaken,
And its storied branches blow
In the winds Of long ago !
Do ye not remember, brothers,
Ere the war-days now twas said
Grand, heroic days were over
And proud chivalry was dead
Still we saw the glittering lances
Cleaning through the old romances,
Still beheld the watch-hres burning
On the cloudy heights Of time
And from fields that they had won,
When the stormy fight was done
Saw victorious knights returning
Flushed with triumph's joy sublime
For the light of song and story
Kindled with supernal glory
Plains where ancient heroes fought
And illumined, with splendor
Rare and magical and tender,
