Iris wonderful how few real blessings
there are that any person who lives by
labor cannot enjoy just as well as the
men who roll in wealth. The million
aire cannot surpass the ordinary worker
in his appetite for food; he cannot coax
any sweeter or more reStful sleep. The
air is Just as pure and bracing for the
worker as for him. He cannot love his
children any more than the poorer man
can love his-cannot be any truer to his
friends.
IF he can be found, and doesn't sleep
over and miss train, the Peoples party
of this State will meet in mass cOnven-
ton at Rutland, Tuesday, the Fourth.
We believe that he once resided in Cas-
Teton, but his present whereabouts are
unknown. If our memory serves us, he
met at the same place last year for the
same purpose, whatever it was. He is
said to be entirely harmless. --Hardwi

temperance talk throughout the land.
There are plenty of diseased men il
town who should avail themselves of thi:
