there Is of l-s>imistie eroskiug. OF
course every hive has some drones but
they die of gradually; aud ia fact they
10 not much hinder the busy hees ia
their work.
Oue of the most interesting places In
visit in Lunenhurg is the workshop aud
museum OF Mr.. W. +. Balch, the noted
taxidrrmist. Mr.. Balch is unusually
busy this season, and told Us that his
seasons work would include the setting
up of about sixty deer heads, four bears
aud very large number of other AMI
mails and birds. lie has two assistants
working all the time with him and it is
busy place; indeed, he says he can
get no time to go out hunting, which to
him is great sacrifice. Probably there
is no more skillful taxidermist in the
whole country, than Mr. Balch. Nearly
all the splendid and unsurpassed work
in the st. Johnsbury Museum has come
from his hand; in fact some of the
pieces there cannot be duplicated in the
country. lie is known far and near for
the excellence of his work. He has lad
the opportunity of going to South
America on collecting expedition, but
was so circumstance that he had to re-
| fuse the offer. He was also offered a
large amount of work at the St. Louis
Exposition, but was unable to accept
| His genial nature and his willingness to
show and explain even while at his work
gives to the visitor very pleasant ano
profitable hour. Here is the case of 4
worthy son of the town remaining a
home amid the scenes of his boyhood tC
build up business by himself alone ant
unaided, and to become known in tn,
circles of his chosen profession all owe

enburg, VT, simply as the home of Nh
Balch the taxidermist. The visitor a
Lunenburg should not fail to call OF
Mr. Balch who knows about as nue.

And some of the boys and girls G
out from the old homes to hopeful

ANGLES LETTER.
Progress!

"Society never advances-what is gained
in some respect is lost in others
Such a strong statement as this, so
contrary to the popular idea, is sure to
provoke inquiry, in the hope that it
may be contradicted, for we boast much
of progress but after strenuous think
ing spell you give it up and let Elmer
son have it his way, which you might
as well have done at first, since his
greatly increasing influence is due to
the fact that few of his utterances ad-
nit of contradiction. Emerson, bright
and cheerful, optimist though he was,
had due regard for honesty, and had
to state what he conceived to be a tru-
ism and all that we can do is to make
the best of this truism. ny advance
ment he meant of course to convey the
idea that there is no more actual gain
in the virtue and happiness of humanity
than there is increase in the amount of
matter constituting the earth. To
some this will perhaps seem rank heresy.
But Emerson had a profound belief in,
and veneration for the Creator. There
is much encouragement in this thought
of keenly intellectual man, for it con,
veys convincing idea of the justice of
God to all his creatures. Surely He
would expect from each one only &c,

Human activity, mental and physic al
is an essential part of the universal sys-
TEN in which nothing is stationary
and all of these natural actions, if in
obedience to conscience-which is God
is fulfilment of duty in the highest
possible degree. Civilization with all
its advantages gives no higher proof OF
"belief" than is shown by the untutored
unbaptized pagan, who expresses his
sentiment by making for himself g
god and in his obedience to this god
which is the highest ideal possible tc
his endowments, many even excel in
attainment the latter day Christian with
his "ten talents" and in the perform
ance find as much, if not more, peace
and contentment, and that is the sole
motive of all human etfort-each &C
cording to his light.
With the growth of intellect, Of
course, there came corresponding aspi
rations, so that a lifetime would be
spent in perfecting system for guild
ance, and the establishment of schools
that this precious idea might be dis
seminated, fondly imagining, poor de
luded mortals, that they had deduced an
incontrovertible truth. And through
the establishment of these schools
thinking became general, and as fate
would have it the scholars thought
along different lines and Science be.

been at it ever since, while Speculation

simply worded mandate that can be
