A special committee, appointed by the
city council OF Barre to investigate the
water supply question, has recommended
that the city buy the system of the Barre
Water company. There are II miles of
pipes, and the company will sell the sys.
tenn for 100000. The income from the
system is $4,000 annually, and the
expenses of running it do not exceed
$4,000. The company is ready to take
four per cent city bonds in payment, and
will construct the new system already
arranged for $4,000 additional.

The slackening step, the occasional
feeling OF impatience at the frantic and I'M
reasonable joy of children; the gray hair
here and there, the brevity OF the years
these are signs that the summer time of
your lie is passing too. You rub your
eyes to see il you do but dream the mes
sage OF lessening time that ever buzzes in
your ears. The shivering sense of protest
against the desperate hurry of time is the
counterpart of that hollow, soughing
sound that seems now to creep through
the woods;
That shuddering breath, which tells that fire
Is placed to the seasons funeral pyre.
The time of opportunity is passing;
the time OF garneripg draws near. Into
that full crop Of accomplishments and of
deeds, which some Of you will rejoice
over, are woven the works done when
you were weary, but done nevertheless
because time was never known to return.
In your harvest of plenty are treasured
the duties done because they needed 20 be
done and not because they were easy
and pleasant. Such works are there
every one of them; none are lost. And
you with wisps from your own neglected
fields of life, and hands full of gleanings
from Others bounty-the ghosts OF neg
lected chances are impalpable in your
grasp, but they are there. lndolent
turning over on flowery beds OF ease hath
its reward, and you begin to see it in

To THE MATURE AND OTHRRs:-The
slight chill in the morning mist, the
changed color of an occasional leaf be-
fore it Autters to tie ground, the silenc-
ing Of the birds, the odor of the evening
ar-these signs unite, with numbeIless
others to announce that summer is near
ing its end, and with it is vanishing the
opportunity for raising further crops.
Good or bad, wel-tended or neglected,
the results will soon be estimated and
the farmer know whether profit or loss
is the result of his abors. The wise
farmer finds the autumn at hand in its
due season; the wasteful, idle one is as
tonshed that it is here so soon after the
spring days when the sun summoned veg
citation to life. But gone is the summer
and no voice is so loud or soimploring as
to be able to call it back. One more seed
time and harvest is gathered into the
eternal and irrevocable past and the
Fastening days move us away from the
time OF crop growth forward to the time
when the storms without are defed by
reason Of the stores within, or the wall
ings without accentuated by tie want
within.
Up-gather earth's gories while We may,
For Winter shall sweep their souls away;
When the fire dies and the light is gone,
And the ashes SILVER pale ana wan;
When the aterglow of November fades,
And the winds are the walls Of shroudless
shades.
For September's days bring a warning clear,
Which tells that the hour OF death is near,
And the years strong manhood startled hats,
At the primal chill from the openir vaults,
And knows that its voice shall be stricken
dumb,
And its laughter lulled-till Spring is come.

Does the sun make any audible noise as
it peeps over the hil-tops in the morn.
ing? Does it summon the farmer to duty
with persistent calls and shakings? No!
the day comes silently; silently does it
grow and wane, and silently does it pass
and without protest, even unimproved.
The farmers utilization OF time dots not
originate from any compelling force in
the power of daylight, but from a pur-
pose within his heart to make the most
of his farm in the days that the passing
seasons give him. Combining his pow
ers with the powers of nature that he
can control, the barren place can be
made to flourish, and out Of the parched
grounds come forth food. When the idle
farmer irets and fumes and grumbles
about rains or what-not, the days hurry
by that are giving his neighbor good re-
turns for effort expended. This is so
generally true as to be practically accu-
rate.

pRCSFRVING THE PALISADES.

The expedition by water along the foot Of the
Palisades which was made on Wednesday by
members of various women's clubs belonging
to the New-Jersey State Federation was not
primarily for pleasure. but for observation and
Indictment to renewed interest In the effort TO
preserve the natural ramparts of the Hudson
from destruction. Though the endeavor to res
cue the Palisades from the Quarrymen has not
as yet developed any practical results, that fact
Is not wholly discouraging, for 1t Is evident
that the forces Of public opinion have not been
dispersed.
The acts passed two years ago by the Legis-
latures Of New-York and New-Jersey, author
izing the appointment Of joint committee to
bring the subject Of the Palisades their inter-
est their value and their rapid demoltion-be-
fore Congress. both responded to and fortified
a general public sentiment. The step thus
taken was at first heartily approved but the
particular plan resulting from II was perhaps
not altogether wise. The original proposal was
that New-York and New-Iersey should cede the
plateau above the Palisades TO the National Gov
eminent for n military reservation, and bill
10 that effect was introduced in Congress. 1t
has since become evident that this bill has no
reasonable chance Of passage, for though 1t was
not adversely reported, It would have been had
the committee not desired to avoid any appear
ance Of discourtesy. Thus, though there Is, in
a sense, semblance Of vitality still left in this
proposal it is virtually dead. 1t was probably
unfortunate that this fact was not earlier I'M
derstood, for the delay In Congress has tended
to prevent the adoption Of more prudent and
hopeful plan.
Some Of those citizens who have been most
conspicuously identified with the movement are
now promoting scheme for the construction
Of a boulevard at the foot Of the Palisades, be-
tween the cliff and the river, and extending
from Fort Lee nOrthward about twelve miles.
Their investigation has led them to believe that
this operation could be carried out at moderate
EXPENSE q great part OF the material necessary
for the purpose being Immediately at hand and
obiainablc for practically nothing; while the
acousi,ion of the waterfront would close the
ouarries. and 50 accomplish the end so earnest
ly desired.
This is the project In which many energetic
New-Jersey women have interested themselves.
Their help is welcome, and 1t is to be hoped
that women of New-York will cooperate. OF
course. the plan under consideration has not
been thoroughly worked out and 1t Is ccnceiv-
able that objections Itch do not now appear
NAV be discovered; but we are strongly inclined
to consider it the most feasible proposition yet
submitted for the defence against further ell
