The northwest has been. is, and mus, continue to
be essentially an agricultural community. Upon the
fertile fields which stretch far beyond us will be pro-
duecd during the centuries to come food products for
many millions in our own country, and for millions
more in other lands. There is no more honorable or
useful vocation than that of agriculture, and this doc
trine should be instilled into the very hearts and souls
OF the youth OF the land. The farm has produced and
will continue to yield the best type OF loyal and con.
scrvative citizenship.

To-day, the world needs especially the soul of the song. song life
Men have driftcd apart. the spirit of song can draw them together again.

loom, his life Of labor. his commercial life, and what We may call his
heart life, were not widely separated. When he became a master work

must be put in motion to help individuals to realization OF the JOY OF hv-
ing each being Graves and TO strengthen the tic that binds man to man
The song life, the spirit OF music. is such a vital power.
Work with the rising generation, with children of the rich and
children OF the slums, confirms the belief that it should be as natural for
a child to sing as it is for him to play. His JOY OF living. his sense OF
companionship. find natural uucrance in simple song forms. His will

highest in thought and feeling that brain and heart have produced; to
have him know that his fellow is his brother and God his father. and
then send him a missionary to his home. This may seem a new use for
music, but il is not.

preston, which in its deepest meaning only the spirit OF the singer can
know and interpret.
How easily are We capivaed by the singing OF the rhythm, flow
ing melodies and sweet harnonies, and how they appeal to us and be-
gle us into an aniable companionabihty. In lieu of better things these
may be well. but we must recognize. however, that they are but short
steps in the progress towards a larger and nober companionship-th

NEW ST ALTON AGENT.

The Central Vermont railroad has
sprung a surprise on this city by its
sudden action in relieving @. A. Lang
for the past two years agent at this
place and installing Mr.. Adams, lately
agent at Norwich, Conn, in his stead.
The change was made on Monday and
was accompanied by the offer of a
similar place to Mr.. Lang elsewhere.
This place carries with it salary
equal to that at the Montpelier sta
tion, but Mr.. Lang is as yet undecided
as to his course in the matter
Mr.. Lang has been in the.employ of
the Vermont Central more than twen-
ty years. He began in the auditor s
office and previous to his coming to
Montpelier, fifteen years ago he was
agent for the o. & l.. @. at Rouses
Point. N. Y. Since coming here he
has been continually employed in the
local station and succeeded B. B. Bal
ley as agent little more than two
years ago. During his stay in the city
Mr.. Lang has made great many
friends and he will be greatly missed
at the station.
W. j. Condor, the billing clerk, re-
Gently rendered his resignation to ac-
cept similar position in the Montpe-
lier q Wells River freight office and
Cashier Robert Wilkinson of the Cen
tral office has also rendered his resig-
nation.

war have remained in the national

Capt. Pattee, Lieut.. Thomas and
Sergeants DeColaines and Jary.

whole regiment.

teentn year of service and the two SER
geants mentioned will soon complete
nine years. During the past year fif-
teen new men have been enlisted.
