ODE TO THE BELL.


With joyous voice, Ring out oh bell,
And to the people round thee tell
or the glad tdings long ago
Brought by angels to earth below.
Tell them all to gather here;
Come from far, and come from near,
Come all classes, come all creeds.
Tell not of valor or Of deeds.
But Ann6Ly at the Christ-child's feet,
Bid them bring their offerings meet.
In the graveyard by the hill,
Feeling not of good or ILL.,
Peacefully, restfuy, Stumbling there,
Lie our forefathers free from
When scenes were wild and country ReW,
When friends and neghbors were but few
Those men Of old this house did rear,
That all might come and ship here,
The chill too from east and west.
Have come once more to the old home nest.
To honor now those deeds Of yore
They have come again to The meeting house door.
AS we rev r~nty step within these walls
Memory flies to well filed halls
From pulpit high at pack Of toom
We early learned the sinners DOOM
But all was not so da1-kly made,
narrow path for us was laid;
And if as true to those holy laws,
AS yonder vane to unseen cause,
home in heaven ours, too would be,
And we at last Christs face should see,
They buded zOeY, those men Of old,
And honest labor took the place of gold.
The Jews brought cloths and metals rare,
To deck their shrine and make it fair
To show to others Aanght was too good
For Him, who shed His holy blood
here on the highest part was laid
A cover Of rare metal made
And still 1t shues spite snow and rain,
And brings to mind their deeds again,
And 10 the traveller straying
1t points, Gods house is here.
So too in years to come, oh bell,
May thy voice not alone OF memries tell,
And Of generations jet to come,
May you call many wanderers home.

SONG BY B. D. ROGERS.


OH! HOME OF MY BoHHOOD.
Oh! home of my boyhood my own native home,
love it the better wherever roam.
The lure OF proud cities, the wealth OF the main
Have never a charm like my own nstive plain,
There waved the old elms the cottage lined street.
There warbled the birds from their woodland retreat
The roar Of the river the forest crowned hill
The starlight that glistened they dwell with still.
CHORUS
Oh home of my boyhood my own country home,
| love it the better wherever | roam
The lure Of proud cities the wealth Of the main
Have never charm like my own native plain.
I've Wander, for years through the cold hearted world
And rode every sea where sail is unfurled
I've met with the great and the noble of earth,
But never forgotten the home OF my birth
The laugh ofmy sister my brothers high glee
Are echong wherever be,
The thousand bright gances from young maidens eyes
Are stars in my heaven when grief clouds arise.
Chorus.
The voice of my father with deep manly tone,
There's music about it no other hath known,
The smile of my mother that love lighted brow,
Oh mother dear mother they dwell with me now.
l love them, love them, the days Of the past,
Oh home OF my boyhood my rural home
III love it the better wherever | roam.

hood OF their characters, are problems the
solving of which would make us of this
generation better men and better women.
They planted better than they knew. These
homes tell the story. The four winds of
Earth have scattered the seeds soWn from
this alter. The unwritten and unspoken
chapter in the history of the Union Meet
ing House lies hidden beneath the green
Sward of yOnder burying ground.
AS the outgrowth Of a generous impulse
the legitimate offspring of its own teach
ings, the Union Meeting House comes up
before us to-day smiling in Its new gar
ments rejoicing in the grand donation of
bell by one of its own sons and one of its
own daughters And when that bell peals
forth wish its vibrations could be heard
everywhere, calling upon the sons and
daughters of the Union Meeting House to
come home again. And IN eternity itself
the ringing could be heard bringing back to
us those grand ancestors, those dear fathers
and mothers that they might stand with us
to-day and rejoice. What an anthem would
roll out over these hills and down through
these valleys. They cannot return to you
dear old Union Meeting House. but they
send you this message and bid me proclaim
1t Peace be within thy walls and plenty
within thy Courts"
NOTE.-In Justice to our blind friend
Geo. g. Chamberlin, whose letter APP
pears i'll the above proceedings, / wish
to say that Mr.. Chamberlin was the
first to respond with subscription to
the bell fund, and that his letter of
January 27, 1892, containing his re-
mittance was long and very interest
ing one, brim full of interesting remi-
niscent incidents and deserving place
on this page, and to say the least, this
history of this bell event is incomplete
without giving Mr.. Chamberlin place
near the head of the column.
Also to Mr.. Niles who offered bell,
but whose proposition was just behind
that made by Mr.. Rogers and his sis
ter, are the grateful thanks of the
West Newbury community due. Your
correspondent little thought that when
the bell question was first agitated in
the holiday number of the OPINION,
December '91, that such grand results
would follow. Our efforts to buy a
bell by small subscriptions was fore
stalled by the generosity of Mr.. Rogers
and sister, and we feel more than sat-
stied with the result and hereby ex-
lend sincere congratulations to the
West Newbury people.

Ny Dear StT:-Your letter informing me
of bell festivities received yesterday and |
hasten to say that blindness and just re-
covering from lingering illness are my
posed joyful occasion. All my life | have
hoped that something would occur to bring
back former residents gathering together
those present on happy reunion, and as
that occasion has seemed to come and am
compelled to be absent you can immagine
of the degree of my disapp0int-
ment. Besides the brief week between now
and the Fourth and ill health compel me to
forego sending something reminiscent that
ordinarily occurs to me. Perhaps at some
stage of your proceedings if not long since
to your waste basket you might
CLEAN something from that rather undigni-
fed letter that | sent at the time that | re-
mitted for the bell. On the day of your
celebration / will absent myself from our
festivities will swing a dozen American
flags to the breeze half IN honor of the day
and the other half in honor of the day at
West Newbury and under the folds of the
proud emblems will linger andmy thoughts
and meditatiOns shall be with you all the
lay long. Hoping nothing may occur to
mar your festivities and profoundly and
sincerely regretting the occasion of my alb
'ence.
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1892-03-16


An inspection of the progress made in the
past year may well raise reasonable doubt
as to the truth of the theory that has long
Prevailed that Vermont could never be a
manufacturing state. To secure manufac-
lures it is first necessary to have some advan-
tages and then let the fact be known. Prob
ably no town in the state has done so much
to advertise its advantages a. has Burling-
ton and no town has made so great progress.
In the sales of farm property, Barnard leads
all other towns. Last summer Barnard did
some liberal advertising of its advantages.
These facts tend to the conclusion, that it
is wise policy for towns or localities pos
sessed of natural advantages or attractions
to let the outside world know what they
have. A little judicious advertising is
liable to bring large return.
The information received points to a still
greater progress for the year 1892 than in
the year Just closed Several large enter.
prises are only awaiting the opening Of
spring
In all the correspondence held with the
officers of the several towns of the state in
visiting the several counties during the past
three months, attending institutes held by
the board and making many inquiries
among the people, there has been very little
discomfort, dissatisfaction or discourage
ment manifested, but rather a hopeful
wide-awake, aggressive spirit, disposition
to make the most of the advantages at hand
and we feel that the past year is but the be-
ginning of an era of development and pros
perity. V. l. SPEAR.

a $4,000 tannery and company for the
manufacture of boot heels, with $4,000
capital; button factory has been built at
Stockbridge and $4,000 invested; at New
port factory for the manufacture of over
alls and shirts, with capital of $4,000
Another feature of the year not coming
within the line of either manufacture or
agriculture, has been the building OF sew
eral fine hotels intended, largely, to accom-
MEDIATE summer travel. Salisbury, Castle
ton, Woodstock and Chester have built
during the past year, and invested about
$500 600 in this way.
In the building up of new manufactures
Burlington takes the lead and reports an
investment of $4,000 and $50 persons TN
ployed. All the manufactures that have
been reported from the county of Chitten-
den came from Burlington. The several
counties OF the state have invested capital
and employed help in these various enter
