ADVERTISE VERMONT,

1t is reported that the Board of Agri-
culture has between 500 and $500 left
from its appropriation for this years
work after having fully complied with
the legal requirement to hold a meeting
in every county of the State, The meet
ings of the past season have been, for the
most part well attended. The Board is
constituted of able men. and its minis
trations will be productive of much good
to those farmers who have attended the
meetings in the spirit as well as in the
body. The members of the Board have
directed their attention particula ly TO
the great economic problem which has
lately so much engrOsscd the public
mind. There are good business men on
the Board, men who are public-spirited
and patriotic, who greatly wish to see
the tendency to abandon farming for
other vocatlOns arrested, and who would
like to place permanent settler on every
deserted farm in the State. Now it is
suggested that the uneXpendcd balance
at the disposal of the Board be devoted
to some well-considered means for pro-
curing the rcsettlemcnt of these farms.
The sum is not large, but, judiciOusly
expended, much may be done with it.
1t may be made to accomplish great
deal after the beginning made in the last
two years. In no more legitimate way
can the function of the Board, 'the pro-
motion of agriculture" be exercised.
We trust the powers that be Will see no
legal Lions in the way Of this proposed
expenditure of the balance to the credit
of the Board If more money Is wanted
and can be advantageOusly expended, we
have no doubt thar wealthy and patriotic
VermOnters would vie with each other
in their contributions to so good a work.
The employment of the Board of Agri-
culture In this important work will, we
are sure, command public confidence and
inspire popular enthusiasm The failure
of the Legislature to provide for the con-
tinuance, in some form, of the industrial
bureau was quite unanimously regretted,
and-we speak advisedly-by none more
than by many who were not entirely in
sympathy with Commissioner Yalen-
tines views and operations, but who,
heartily approved the pui-
pose of the law establishing the bureau.
All regret even the temporary suspension
of this bureau-for we deem its re-estab-
ment in 1872 in some form as certain as
in the future can be. If now,
the Board of Agriculture, the
work and expenditure of the past two
years can not only be rescued from utter
loss, but resumed along such lines as
shall be agreed upon after careful delib-
GRAFTON, we believe the people will APP
prove and will ask that it be done, and
that a beginning be made at ONCE

by land; and sea. the maiden continued
leading him to the river bank.
The river was filed with numbeTlesS
Notwithstanding viciously for any at
tempt at escape: and beside these hid
c0us sentinels, boat filed with native
soldiers was anchored near by.
"You understands said the maiden,
significantly, as Hal sank back with a
grOan.
"Two days passed. Hal made desper-
ate attempts to scale the sandy wall, but
in vain, as the maiden watched him in
sympathy, and the rest of the miserable
creatures viewed his struggles with calm
indifference born of the despair resulting
from similar trials.
THE third night came, and as Hal
paced the circuit Of the Enclosure, he
heard low whistle.
Looking up lie saw Baba's eager face
peering ovOr the sandy bank, while a
coil of rope fell at his feet.
"A soft sigh near by told him that his
companion in despair had seen his
chance of escape, also.
Gently, with eager fingers Hal fast
encd the rope around her waist, wins
pcrcd a few directions, and gave Bahia
the signal to draw her up.
"She reached the top safely, again the
rope fell, and Hall took his own turn, not
moment too soon, for from all points
of the miserable village, eager. bowling
wretches came hurying to take the
chance of escape from him.
"Hurry, master! said Baba, eXcitedly.

the laws to save his master, and no
wonder he wished him to leave the place.
"There is little more to tell. He

safety, for the maiden accompanied
him. If she had remained, she would
have been returned to the dreaded Ora
ter City, or else doomed TO living
death upon the funeral pyre.

stopped, with a significant glance at his
wife.
"Nothing-except this" he answered
emphatically "My name is Henry An

English education changed her views of

CHALKING THE DOOR.

His proper name was jeremiah Mar
den: but he had not been in the village
week before everybody called him
Jerry Marden, and within six months he
was known as Jerry Muddler But why
muddler? Who gave him that name and
why was it given?
The giver is unknown-fOr who ever
knows the giver of nick-names?-but the
reason for its being bestowed was that
Jerry was always mudded with drink.
He was very good shoemaker, but he
stood no chance with George Stevens, a
sober man, and so drifted into becoming
our cobbler ,Jcrrys one idea was to get
job, and having done it, to invest the
proceeds in drink at his favorite beer
shop, "The Dram Arms" The
consequence was that Jerry was seldom
sober, and had he not possessed an iron
constitution, two years of such life
must have killed HIM; but he dragged
on, working to-day and idling tomorrow,
and drinking whenever drink could be
got. and finally drifting into debt.
His score at The Dram Arms was
large one, and the chalks stood up
against him like files of soldiers; but
Jerry ignored their existence-paying off
a little now and then, and drinking more
each time increasing the army of debt
against him, until one evening Mr. Rich
ard Rewitt, the landlord of the aforesaid
Dram Arms, cried shalt"
sit can't go on any longer, jerry" he
said. "The last sum had of you was
three shillings, and you have paid moth
ing for fortnight"
"Work is slack" murmured Jerry;
''but the harvest is coming on, and then
everybody will have their selling and
heeling done, and shall be able to pay
you OIL"
perhaps So" returned Mr.. Rewitt;
"but you will have as much as you can
do to square off what is up there. Look
at theml Those chalks are standing
disgrace to any man. You ought to be
ashamed of yourself"
Jerry looked at the accusing marks,
and really felt aghast at the long list
against. The inner door of the bar was
a regular blackboard, and he trembled
before it,
Now, when Jerry first came to the
Dram Arms, the landlord was very polite
and spoke as softly as you please to him.
No spider courteous entreating fly to
TO enter his parlor could have been more
oily tongued, or smiled more persua-
sive smile.

And many's the time I'm tempted still:

and so many twOpence savedm
Mr. Rewitt was still unable to make
any particular remark; but he murmured
in a confused manner you've go a lot

Jerry, complacently, ''and the more |

When | get together | take them off

a bank there better than any till. Tills
give nothing out, but banks like that re-
turns you more than you put in. Until
began to keep my own chalks had no
idea how much your till swallowed up.
You would not trust me a pint, but /
have my money out of the bank when

That's something" said Mr.. Rewitt.
ut is everything to a man who has a
wife and children TO feed" replied Jerry.
The best of us have sickness and
trouble and rainy days, and then it is a
great thing to have something to fall back
upon. 1t is better to be able to keep
yourself than to go to the parish. There
is another thing, too, about these challSs
of mine-yours went down before nv

down after that's done, and | think that
my chalks are the better of the two. So
say to all, chalk your own door, -
Mr. Rewitt had nothing to say; he
could not deny and he could not admit
it, but took refuge like other beaten men
in flight. With the boots under his
arm he fastened home, and presented
himself before his wife in rather eX-
cited condition.

inquired,
"Nothing Particular he replied, Eek
cept that Jerry Muddler has joined the
temperance lot, and he seems so firm in
il that don't believe he will ever touch

Mr.. Richard Rewitt of The Dram Arms
was right. And Jerry, who bears the
name Of Muddler no longer, but is called
by that to which he is entitled by right
birth, viz: that of Marden, has not
touched drop of strong drink from that
day of his reformation to this. His door
has been filed again and again with the
scores which lie records in his own favor;
and the beer which he has not drank is
everywhere around him in the form of a
comfortable home, respectable amount
in the savings bank, and goodly invest
ment in building society. A word to
you, my readers, is suilicient-"Chalk
