VERSES FOR VERMONT.


IThe following beautiful poem was read
Can't Egbert Phelps at the recent banquet
the Sons Of Vermont in ChicaRo;J
Land Of the mountain and the pine
Blue skies and valleys fair
Land Of the heroes at whose SHRINE
Our reverent heads we bare
Land of the valiant, doughty souls
Whose deeds in days OF old
Our history's page and glory's rolls
Are writ in shining gold.
Our loving hearts 90 out TO thee
From this, our Western home,
And eyes grow m DIST as mstily,
The thronging memories come
Sweet memories OF the by-gone days
When, by thy purling streams,
Where thy green hills their crests upraise,
We dreamed our boyhood dreams.
Dreams OF the glorious world beyond
And Of the life to be-
When all our aspirations fond
Should crown life's victory;
Dreams all too bright, too sweet TO last
Whelmed by the rushing years,
Tombed in the dead and buried Past
Embalmed with loving tears.
We little felt. in that blest time,
Gods beauty round us spread
The grandeur of thy peaks sublime
That Knocked our childish tread,
Twas left to after years to paint
Those scenes with gorgeous hue;
Absence and distances both have lent
Enchantment in our view
New scenes, new lands, new aims in life
Do but enhance the glow
That lingers-mid the toll and strife
Around the Long Ago.
And brighter with each passing year
The lights OF childhood CLEAN
Till all youths scenes and j. VS. appear
Like an enhancing dream
And here, tonight, with greeting fond,
We live them DER again,
And hearts renew each old-time bond
As memory's cup we drain.
Fen stranger heart together meet
And stranger hand grasps hand
In token Of the memories sweet
OF that far distant land
Then fill the cup to the days gone by,
Here's to the love we bare
To our chidhood's home withits azure sky
And its hills and valleys fair.
May the memories dear Of the days that
are gone
Never fade from our hearts away,
or the love grow dim. as the years roll on,
And our hearts with our locks grow gray.

Mrs. Winfield S. Quigley Of Wilmington.
In discussion of 1.-THE Suffrage, -

She thought that women should have
a right to vote on the question Of how
the schools should be conducted, and
to vote at municipal elections as we'll
She asked the corporation of those at

Does tho Unmarried Woman Need
the Ballot?" was answered in paper
by Miss Emma Worrel. She said that
the unmarried woman needs more aids
to self reliance. Tho single woman has
no one to emphasize her opinions.
DIR. Hannah NJ. Thompson declared
that the professional woman needs the
ballot. 1t is needed in her profession
to do away with quackery and NAL
practice.
The Rev. Henriette G. Moore held
that the State needs equal suffrage.
AS the motherhood of country is, SO
is its civilization. The condition OF
things in Mexico is bad because there
is no motherhood there II the ballot
were given to woman. many laws now
on the statute books would be wiped
out
AT the meeting of the convention al
night the Rev. Henrietta G.. Moore
made an address. She discussed Bible
passages which bad been held to oppose
suffrage for women, aud declared that
there is nothing in the Bible about suf-
frage either for men Or women. AS to
the passages which concern tho duties
of wife to her husband she said they
do not apply to single women, OF whom
this country has 1000, 600 of more than

Ambassador Bayard was guest. this

toast which was warmly given by
Comyns Carr, the art critic" Our
Friends Across the Sea. +"
The toast was received standing, and
with loud cheers
Mr.. Bayard was enthusiastically re-
ceived. He said that they stood on the
common ground. There. was no sea
between them. He was affected by the
remarks Of Mr.. Carr, who had spoken
of the impossibilIty of certain divisions.
He thanked God that there were some
things that could bs divided.
Never was there judgment which
so affected the hearts and minds of
men as that rendered when the false
and the true mother met to decide the
fate of child, and it was proposed
that tho child should bo put to death
to decide the ownership. 1t could not
be. The heart of humanity rang out
when it said; Let the child live"
1t could not be. Loud cheers.
There were children of brain and of
heart; there were children born of
common ancestry, common language; !;
they could not be permitted to die be.

He was glad to accept and answer
for the phrase kindred beyond the
sea" He could answer for his and
their kindred beyond the sea.
After references to the object Of the
Actors Fund, he said that the express
sion, kindred beyond the sea, i" was
first, to his knowledge, used by Mr..
Gladstone, who added the quotation,
when love unites," &c. The time
was seasonable to repeat those words.

No profession better than theirs could
speak them, and, in the name of his
country, speaking to theirs, he asked
them to join him in wishing that

jennie Ford Curtis a bright child
) years OF age, was brought from Dover
to this city Wednesday by Agent Stout
of the Society for the Prevention OF
Cruelty to Children, and committed to
the Homo for Friendless and Destitute
Children to-day.
On Monday Agent Stout received a
complaint from Dover to the effect that
tho child was being maltreated. He
went there and found the little girl
living with her grandfather, Obediah
Thompson, and her aunt, Mary Thomp-
son. Ho WAS informed that the child's
mother is dead and her father is living
somewhere in New Jersey
The child had barely enough clothing
to hide her nakedness and was filthy
and covered with vermin.
The grandfather and aunt were ar
rested and taken before Magistrate
Jester. The former was fined $40, and
in default was sent to jail.' The case
against the aunt was held up because
she has a young child to support.
Several witnesses testified that the
child was sent to the woods to gather
kindling. and if she returned with a
small quantity she was numerically
chastised by the grandfather and aunt.
Marks we're found on her body.
