us. The true measure of life is not
the amount of talent we may have,or
our relative and comparative influ-
ence and success. We have each a
place in the economy of both nature
and grace. A kind flaw of "strug-
gle for existence" and of Survival of
the fittest" seems to work for the
furtherance of individual develop
ment. The vegetable world attains
to its beauty, variety, and symmetry
by the quest for some uncrowded, un-
occupied place by every branch and
leaf. We must make our individual
ty seek anywhere, everywhere, for
an unoccupied space. l an, and Il
a0iH be! How singularly do extremes
meet in the case of many who despise
their individuality! They are often
the most ambitious and aspiring of
mortaIs, and failure and disappoint-
ment cause kind of recoil on self.
The apparent contradiction finds eX-
istence Of kind of polarity. Intense
egotism and self-disgust are the OPP
posite properties, active at their re-
spective poles.
When one has great talents, and
life has a personal distinction and
glory, he deems life worth living.
This is a wrong raiSon d'etre. This is
living for self; and it is no wonder
that such a one should wander from
his orbit, and find himself strange
contradiction. If you could make
yourself, and preserve your being and
save yourself, then and then only
might you claim reasonably to live
to yourself. Only he who had the
prerogative Of choosing, or consent
ing to, the manner of man he should
be made, has any right to despise his
individuality.
| Our wisdom is found in yielding to
God, that we may be led by him to
our proper place, and be what he
would have us and what he made us
for. Thus do we throw the response
bility of our existence and of being
what we are upon God. Our respon-
sibility and reason for being, consist
in fidelity to the revealed will, and
submission to the purpose, of our
Maker.
| We know not what is the purpose
of the divine Notwithstanding in
our case. If we are true, it is abso-
lutely certain that, in the hereafter,
we shall be Satisfied with God for
making u.s." We know that all of
us were made to manifest Gods glory
in Christ. Be willing to have been
born, to live, be nothing and die, if
Christ can be formed in you, if in a
lower sense he can become incarnate
again in your life, if this life can re-
fleet but one ray of his glory, if your
individuality can make manifestly
beautiful but one quality Of his char
acter, if your distinctive being is
but a foil to set off the glittering jew

Popular Names of Women.

Iwonder If any woman ever liked her own
name. When l was in the harness used to
have to read all the manuscript that came to
the Office. Most of our contributors were
women. Women, have sometimes thought,
are naturally inclined to literature ! never
knew one who didn't drift into writing for
the press if she had the slightest encourage
ment. And when they begin TO write, of
course, the first thing they do is to select a
nom de plume. These assumed names used
to amuse me, and took fancy one day to
keep track of them for one year. At the ex-
piration Of that time discovered that the
name MAUD" led the list. The next was

Various whisperings have been Cir
culated through the State for the
past month, by friends who are push
ing Lieut.. Gov. Woodbury. for the
Governorship, to the effect that Hon.
Carroll S. Page sought the safety of
Canada during the war to avoid the
draft. The falsity of this charge is
clearly shown by Capt. Blake of the
Barton Monitor, himself gallant
soldier, and Hon. Henry Ballard of
Burlington, who have each made a
thorough examination of the facts in
the case. 1t appears that the reason
why Carroll S. Page was not in the
army, who was then 18 years of age,
was the fact that he was the book
keeper and chief reliance of an inva-
lid father in carving on an extended
business, and, although, this business
occasionally took him to Canada, at
no time was he there pending draft,
but was regularly enrolled in Hyde
Park and at all times subject to a
draft. We shall look for prompt
disavowal from Col. Woodbury. of
all connection with this unmanly war
fare, from the fact that we believe
him to be a gentleman as well as a
soldier, and above all such disgrace
full warfare, which in the end would
surely result in his discredit.

Echoes from the Press.
The Kind or Man We Want.

Our taxpayers do not need to be told
that there has been steady and constant
growth in the cost of running this State
and that the last legislature eclipsed all
its predecessors in its extravaganza.
Still further, all signs indicate that If the
coming legislature does not beat the rec
ord of the last one, 1t will not be the fault
of the people who have interests to fur
ther at the expense of the State. For
instance, Gov. Dillingham's insane asy-
lum will cost the State before it is com
pleted 100000. and the legislature will
ultimately be asked to increase its appro-
priation TO that extent; and there will
undoubtedly be an ample supply of lesser
projects for raiding the State treasury.
And the farmers-as rule the unpros-
porous farmers-who foot the bills will
have an added burden of heavy taxation
to bear. Think of the farmers of this
State paying half million dollars to
beautify Waterbury and give Gov. Dill
ingham something to show to admiring
friends of giving forty or fifty thous-
and dollars to enable a few dozen people
on Grand Isle a chance to emulate the
Israelites by crossing Lake Champain
dry shod
such being the case, the imperative
need of the day is a man for Governor
who appreciates the hard position and the
heavy burdens of the mass of the people;
who may be depended upon to stand be-
tween them and an extravagant and waste
tul legislature; who is an economical,
prudent business man, and who will carry
into public affairs the same principles that
ensure success in private undertakings;
man who possesses a thorough acquain-
tance with the State and its people.
Such man we have in Mr.. Page, and
in this part of the State, at least, the pub
lie realize the fact.-St. Johnsbury Re-
publican.

We call the especial attention of
our readers who are taxpayers to an
article in another column copied from
the st. Johnsbury Republican, head
ed "the kind of man we want" 1t
is notorious that State expenses have
grown in few years to huge proper
tions, especially, when all the legisla-
ton is taken into consideration that
produces taxation not given into the
hands of the collector. For example
the new school law. The change in
school books alone, it is estimated,
will cost the people one hundred and
fifty thousand dollars. Now this has
been brought about by the ring that
is now Justify calling upon the people
to support their candidate for Gov
ernor.

Mining Stock For Sale.

Horace l.. Stiles of Washington, d. c.,
has secured several locations on rich lodes
of gold, bearing quartz in Park County
Montana, just below the Panhandle or
western part of the Crow Indian Reser-
vation, just about being opened to settle
ment. (See House of Representatives
report, No 80, House bill No. 526, which
passed the house March 25th, last.)
He has the correct date and location of
more than twenty lodes in this region,
and solicits subscriptions of $50 each for
the purpose of securing them.
The location now made will be turned
oyer to the association, making the same
one property. The last are situated OH
Rocky Fork of the Yellowstone and on
Grove Creek, in a finely watered and
finely timbered country, within 8 to 6
miles of the Southern temporary terminus
of the Rocky Fork r. r., and Within the
same distance of the largest body of coal
in the state of Montana.
Prof. Swallow, mining inspector of the
new state, deplores in some districts the
scarcity of timber, in others the scarcity
of water, and in others, still, the want of
coking coal to reduce the ores, while
other localities only await the screaming
of the locomotive to make them rich.
| He furthur says: Quartz veins have
been discovered on Rocky Fork, whose
| valley includes numerous large, rich, and
very remarkable veins, and deposits of
rich ores"
Again: Zone of the features of this
district is its extensive dense forests of
pine. fir, and spruce; but the timber and
fuel are only small part of the benefits
these forests bestow on this favored
region. In the autumn of 1882 after
the dryest season even known in Montana
the mountains and valleys of this favored
region were literally sparkling with cool
springs and running streams"
Again: 1.-The Rocky Fork mines are
known to contain enormous quantities OF
excellent coking and dry COAL"
The Rocky Fork r. X. is completed and
running as far as Red Lodge, so that in
the matter of timber, water, and coal and
transportation the situation is perf,c ct.
This inducement is offered to persons
of small means. No more than $3.50 will
be received from any one subscriber, and
promises to return $1,000 for 81. at least
But small amonnt is needed to COM
plete the subscription, and the books will
be closed on the Both of April.
No money will be received less than the
full amount of the installment, and no
liability will be incurred by subscriptions
in excess of that amount. Address

Letters from the People.
ROTATION IN OFFICE.

Editor Sitter = 1t is said that human
nature is conservative and gravitates
towards a monarchy. The hereditary
transmission of qualities is settled ques-
ton, morally physically and Intellectually.
Hence there Is no doubt that many of our
people worship centralized power and
have no appreciation of the different
power, the broad sub-base on which the
entire fabric of Republican institution
rest. They take back to their old ances-
try, born, bred and lived under monar
chival governments. and loved the dazel-
ing splendor of royalty, honored, pro-
tected and fought for. This principle is
not really inherent in human nature, but
has been engendered, fostered and de-
vtloped under the influence and necssi-
ties of centralized powers. Hence, we
see it cropping out at this late period of
time after enjoying more than hundred
years of true democratic rule. This has
no reference to modern democracy as re-
lating to the so called Democratic party.
This conservative element was seen in
its most active workings in the effort made
to elect General Grant Gall honor to
his nancy to his third term TO the Presi-
dency. Without citing instances con-
tinually occurring, we see its workings
now in this state in reference as to who
shall occupy the next gubernatorial chair.
With this element handed down. if man

nobody else in the world but him. ITO

hath not shall be taken away, even that

accordance with the true principles of

lavished all on one man. When good
man like Lieut. Governor Woodbury. has

friends ought to be satisfied; and not
