A wreath of diamonds is designed to

Doyou ask, . Where can | do this and
have my money absolutely safe ?" Let
us give you some facts. The Lamoille
County Savings Bank and Trust Co. Of
Hyde Park is an institution run on the
following principles -
LIST. Not dollar is loaned without
the personal knowledge of some one Of
the Board of Directors that the loan is
safe beyond question.

Every dollar is loaned in Lamoille and
adjacent counties. and every worthy en-
terprise in the vicinity of the towns
whence the deposits of the Bank come

to other Investments. so far as it can be
done with absolute safety.
Sd. Under no circumstances is dol
lar invested in any western mortgage or
other -the-State security. We
might perhaps pay our depositors one
half of one per cent. per annum more
interest by incurring Il little additional

ton which will loan its funds at home.
1t is needed that Vermont may not
become impoverished. 1t is needed for
the 5uildfng tip and fostering home i'll
situations. Vermont towns will not
boom without money amy more than
70 n
Alabama. 1t is needed for the greater
safety of the savings of widows and or
phans as well as of all those who look
rather to the absolute security of the
principal than to high rates of interest.
With no disparagement to our neighbors
who prefer to occupy western fields we
offer to the depositing public the La
noble County Savings Bank and Trust
Co. as an institution organized to meet
the demand for strictly home Investment
Savings Bank. That such ademand ex
lists, and that the people are ready to be-
stow their confidence and encourage
ment upon such an insti ution, is evil
denced by the fact that the aggregate Of
the small deposits alone i'll this bank
not counting any in eXc's IS of $1,000
were at the end of the first six months
of it's business, S37, 1860, a record
without parallel, we believe, in the
history of Vermont Savings Banks.
4th. Under no circumstances does
this Bank take over 6per cent. 1t would
not. knowingly, make an investment
which would pay over per cent. The
safest class of loans and securities will
command money at per cent. The
Bank pays the State a tax of six tenths
of 1 per cent. on deposits in lieu of all
take S to the depositorS. 1t must then be-
evident that per cent per annum is all
that the Bank can SAFELY PAY. This
rate it will pay. 1t is guaranteed ana
rests on no contingency. Interest will
be compounded semi-ann lalIv if not
withdrawn.

Paid to Resign.

The vestry of Trinity Episcopal church,
of Pittsburg, Pa, has agreed to pay the
rector of the parish, the Rev. Samuel
Maxwell, $4,000 if he will resign on June
1, and the offer has been accepted. This
is probably the first instance on record
where a congregation has paid its rector
to resign and go elsewhere. Under the
canons of the Episcopal church a rector
cannot be discharged by congregation,
and can only be removed against his will
from ministering over it after being tried
and found guilty of conduct unbecoming
a minister. Mr.. Maxwell had the legal
right of holding his position for life I'M

has haCErhis ideas cGAverted into tin
mody4 and his model patented 1t is a

cigar case and eXtinguisher with a
matuh box attachment. 1t is made of
tins ana is only about three inches
long and three quarters of an inch in
diameter The case is divided into
two sections. In the short section is
fitted a rim of spring fingers.
Tie manner of using the instrument
IS explained by the inventor as follows:
eff you want to save a partially smoked
cigar, insert the lighted end into the
short section. The spring fingers hold
the cigar firmly in its place without
injury. 1t is then covered with the
longer one, which makes the case air
tight and consequently eXtinguishes
the cigar. The case eau t become heat

Poor London children certainly enjoy

to give Happy Evenings" to board

successful in Lambeth, so now Mrs.
Jeune, who has had so much expert

SPRING SONG.

The swift is wheeling and cleaning,
The brook is brown in its bed,
Rain from tde cloud is streaming,
And the bow bends overhead.
The charm Of the winter is brokeni
The last of the spell is saidl
The eel in the pond is quickening,
The grayling leaps in the stream;
What if the clouds are thickeningf
See how the meadows CLEAN!
The spell of the winter is shakeni
The world awakes from dreaml
The fir puts out green fingers,
The pear tree softly blows,
The rose in her dark bower fingers,
But her curtains will soon unclose;
The lilac will shake her ringlets
Over the blush of the rose.
The swift is wheeling and cleaning,
The woods are beginning to ring,
Rain from the cloud is streaming;
There, where the bow doth cling,
Summer is smiling afar off,
Over the shoulder of Spring.

car in motion, Messrs. Rettig propose to

is four inches high and moves at uni

MONT this platform from the ground
withc difficulty, and from this he can
with equal ease step on to a second plat
form four inches higher than the first

Again, the history of Orpah iInpresses
upon me the truth that there are many
who make a good starting, but after
awhile change their minds and turn
back. When these three mourners
start from their home in Moab there is
as much probability that Orpah will
reach Bethlehem as that her sister Ruth
and her mother-in-law Naomi will ar
rive there. But while these continue
in the journey they commenced Orpah
after awhile gets discouraged and turns
back. This is the history of many
soul. Perhaps it was during a revival
of religion they resolved upon a Chris
tan life and made preparations to leave
Moab. Before that they were indiffer-
ent to the sanctuary; churches were
necessary evils. The minister almost
always preached poor sermons, because
they had not the heart TO hear them.
They thought the bread was not good,
because their appetite was poor. Re
ligion did very well for invalids and the
aged, but they had no desire for it.
