Why the Cat Has Whiskers,

Every one must have observed what
are usually called the whiskers on a
cats upper lip. The use of these, in a
state of nature. is very important. They
are organs of touch. They are attached
to bed of close glands Under the skin,
and each of these long hairs is connected
with the nerves of the lip. The slightest
contact of these whiskers with any sur.
rounding object is thus felt most dis.
tinctly by the animal. although the hairs
themselves are insensible. They stand
out on each side of the lion as well as in
the common cat; SO that, from point to
point, they are equal to the width of the
animals body. If we imagine, there
fore. lion stealing through covert of
wood in an imperfect light we shall at
once see the use of these long hairs.
They indicate to him, through the incest
feeling, any obstacle which may present
itself to the passage of his body; they
prevent the rustling of boughs and
leaves, which would give warning to his
prey if he was to attempt to pass through
too close bush; and thus, in conjunction
with the soft cushions of his feet and the
fur upon which he treads (the claws never
comingin contact with the ground), they
enable him to move toward his victim
with stiffness even greater than that
of the snake, which creeps along the
grass and is not perceived until it is
coiled round his prey. Exchange.

BY ADA Il. FERRIS.

"Keep your sphere" said the liquor men,
"At homeis a woman's place.
Take care of your children, cook and sew,
And cherish your womanly grace.
These forward women who war on us
Disgrace themselves and their sex;
Plunging in filthy politics,
The peace of the land they veX."
So, gentle mothers, sit still at home,
And Groom to your baby bow,
While monster turks in the street without
Waiting his chance to destroy.
Soon as those little feet can pass
Out of this garden gate,
He'll be fair prey; but sit you still,
Sing him to sleep. 'Tis fate.
Love and cherish your winsome girl,
Train up the fair, sweet life
To every pure and gentle charm
BETTING the drunkard's wife.
Maku hcr So FAIR and sweet and wise
She will win some carless love-
So pure that drunken stab or shot
Will only send her above.
What, droppiug your song, and starting out
With eyes and hearts afire,
And striving, with your soft white hands,
To throttle the monster dire
Why not The hare for her young will fight,
The tiny bird grow wild
Defending her nest and dare you think
woman cares less for her child
Yes, home is woman's truest sphere,
Its spoiler her deSdliest foe;
If viper coil by your sleeping child,
Is the gentlest too mild for blow
Because you are women, tender and true,
And your home is your chosen sphere,
Fight, fight as for life If you shrink or fai
You may lose all life holds dear.

Greeley was busy writing when he
was beset by a subscription fend.
Greeley finally stopped writing, turn

"What do you want! State il
quick and state it in the fewest pos
sible words"
"Well," said the subscription fiend

human beings from going to hell"
Said Mr.. Greeley: ~ won't give
you a cent. There don't halt

the top of whose head was located fully
eight feet above the soles of his feet, was
seen numbering along up the street. From

freak. The latter stopped, gravely lifted
his hat to the eight-footer. and made
some passing salutation by word of
mouth. The freak did not seem to relish
this familiarity of the other tall gentle
man, and sullenly growled out word or
two between his teeth. When the other
tall man came along to where the Listen

..They Vote As They please.v

Our Barnumville correspondent IN
speaking of two of Manchester's good
farmers (see another column, says
"They each take the SITTER and vote
as they please"
And why shouldn't they:
Isn't it about time that every farm
er "votes as he pieases
Yesl
For a quarter of a century he has
voted at the dictation of others-yo-
ted as he was told.
And by whom?
BY political tricksters and traders ;
by the hanger-on, the parasites, and
paid attorneys and free riders of "a
monster monopoly that has nearly
crushed the life out of the farming
class. And, now, as if to add insult
to injury, this same dicialolial power
has instituted a State emigration
commission and a great hellabaloo is
raised to induce foreign emigrants to
buy our abandoned farms.
For whose benefit!
Not the farmers surely.
1t will not benefit him to have
more potatoes, oats, rye and other
farm products raised, or more butter
and cheese made. He is troubled
now to pay the exhorbitant freight
rates, that he is obliged To do, and
live. More producers would not help
him. But they would assist in rivet-
ing his chains by feeding the monop-
oily that forged them. o, humbug,
how many great (?) things are done
in thy name
What Vermont needs today is de-
cent transportation rates. These
once had, manufacturing industries
would spling up all over our beautiful
state and the farmer would then find
home market for his products, and
live yankees would re-settle the aban-
doned farms.
When shall We have this desired
blessing!
When farmers "vote as they
please" and not till then. Soif there
is farmer in Manchester or any
where else who already does this the
SITTER sends him its greeting. Shake

lopeciai correspondence OF the SIfTER.I
Editor SITTER The farming lands OF
Vermont may be properly divided into
three classes, viz: the occupied cultivat-
ed farms, the occupied neglected farms,
and the abandoned farms. The contcm-
plation of the last two classes is not very
pleasant to the wide-awake farmer, and,
as Commissioner Valentine is engaged in
the unpleasant work of investigating and
reportln. the abandoned farms, 1t seems
to be pleasing relief to turn attention
to farms that are cultivated, and II you
will give me little space in your wide
awake paper will mention few farms
in my vicinity that are cultivated. Gift
ford Gilmore farms l0 acres of land,
adjoining the farm Of +. A. jameson,
wich briefly mentioned two weeks ago.
Mr.. Gilmore keeps 20 cows, 7 horses,
8 head of young cattle, and harvested last
season 400 bushels of oats from acres
of land, and 800 bushels of ears of corn
from IL acres. His potatoes were
nearly a failure, yielding only about 100
bushels on l II acres. Buckwheat was
good, yielding % bushels from one acre.
No noxious weeds are allowed to grow on
either Mr. Jameson's farm or Mr.. Gil
more's, and both gentlemen say that they
never allow business to prevent roofing
out bunch of hard hack (prairie weed),
or yellow daisy as soon as it is discover

they please and give no mortgages, and
