Temperance Resolutions.

At the recent meeting Of the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union Of Orange
county at Newbury, the following were
among the resolutions adopted:
Whereas, all our hopes for success are
built upon faith in our Lord, and the power
Of his might; Resolved, that we spend more
time in studying his word, in waiting upon
him in prayer, and looking for his guidance
in all our work; Resolved, that each sister
OF the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union is color. bearer, and should at all
times wear the knot of white ribbon, that
its silent, though potent voice may speak
its own lesson Of loyalty to the cause we
espouse.
Because of the meeting of the hotel
keepers OF Vermont, in which they proposed
to ask that the prohibitory law be SO
changed as to favor them Resolved, that
we will each work in every way possible in
influencing our legislature to preserve our
prOhibitory law from being tempered with,
or modified in any way to weaken the
temperance cause.
Legion work is one Of the most important
and hopeful lines OF temperance work, and
Is entitled to the hearty support of all
white ribboners Resolved, that If men,
bers OF the Unions are unable to assist per-
sonally in the Legion. that they will en-
deavor to interest others in the work as
teachers and helpers and to render any
other assistance possible; Resolved, that
we extend our sincere thanks to our state
president, Mrs. Read, for her presence and
helpful words, which she never fails to
bring to US.
Whereas, our late president, Mrs. M. n.
Corwin, feels obliged to resign her office,
which she has so faithfully filed, on &C.
count Of physical inability; Resolved, that
it is with the feelings Of tenderest regret
that we accept her resignation. May God
bless and guide her in all her future, and
may she long live to meet with and cheer
us by her presence.

fore and never expect to be again."
IT was great day for oratory, and
many of the delegates who made the
nominating speeches unshackled them
selves as they had never done in their
natural lives. To G. M. Wilds of Mid
debury and Hon. H. A. Huse of Mont
pelier fell the honors of the speech
making, and their words created the
widest kind of enthusiasm. After
lengthy speeches extolling Josiah
CIRCUITS war record had been made,
Mr.. Wilds' reference to Mr.. Stickney
as leader in the war that is now on
was cheered again and again, as was
the terse statement of Mr.. Huse that
ave are nominating man and not a
county"
THE sharp reply made by Charles M.
Wilds to the assertion advanced by one
OF the speakers who seconded the
nomination of Josiah Grout, that the
state press had been practically unani.
nous in favoring Mr.. CIRCUITS nominal
ton, showed that Mr.. Wilds knew con-
siderable more about the newspapers
of Vermont than did the man who
made the assertion. AS Mr.. Wilds
named'towp after town in which the
newspapers had favored Josiah Grout
and where Stickney delegates were
elected by a large majority, the asser-
ton that the press of the state was solid
for Grout lost most of its force.
Equally telling was Mr.. Wilds' review
of the progress of the campaign at the
primaries, closing with the caucus at
Rutland, which he declared was the
Gettysburg of the fight. His decara-
ton that W. W. Stickney was the only
one man in this state who had the
courage to fight the ring was received
with the widest applause.

FOR LITTLE FOLKS.
THE W. %REEDBIRDS.
A Little Fable In Which May BE Found
q Valuable Lesson.

a Little Fable In Which May Be Found
q s;lable Lesson.
The fall of the year was we'll nigh its
CLOSE. Each fitful gust brought in its
van focks of bela.ed songsters. sweep
ing onward toward their winter haunts
in the south.
There is one bird, however, that lin
gers long among the marshes Of the
north. 1t is the ''reeGy," as he is called
by the boys. One morning two reedies
left their feeding ground and directed
their course as if in quest Of a more
tempting one farther inland. You might
have fancied from the larger ones eau
lions, leisurely flight that he was the
wiser and more temperate, and that the
other vas needless and extravaganza.
Soon they arrived at a pleasant valley.
Winding its way through the low lying
meadows, which already seemed &c
wither as If in dread IF the coming
frost, there flowed Il sluggish stream.
The birds RECALLED themselves for a time
on the dainties that the beds Of amp
grass scattered at intervals along the
bank had to afford them.
The one of the calm disposition be.
haved at his meal as if he were not
wholly taken up with the demands of q
ravenous craw. The other. however,
was different. and so absorbed wGs he
in eating that he did not hear the shrill
"tweet, tweet," Of his companion.
The note was uttered as III alarm at
some unwelcOma news that the wind
brought him. Flakes Of snow fell down
gently on the ground, and still the
feathered gormard worked away with
his hill. The nov increased; the wind
swayed the banks of tall grass in the
marsh until they fairly groaned beneath
tho blasts.
Then the thCu2htless bird. a-akeHed
to Il sense of his danger, tried in vain
to fly. A victim to his greed, he was
frozen by the cold. and found a swampy
grave.
His brother, the philosopher, roasted
that night under the cave Of southern
a house. %llmenting in his reveries
the fate of his greedy companion.
So from this fable learn the lesson
Of ever needing the voice of discretion.
