a Good Speech by Hale X. Darling.

According TO reports, Chelsea's repre-.
sentative at Montpelier, Mr. Hale X
Darling, is not only winning laurels at the
state house, but "on the side" as well. II
ls agreed that his speech at the Fish and
Game League banquet at Montpelier last
week was the brightest, the aptest and the
wlttiest OF the lot.
The Montpelier Daily journal reported
it as follows
III. X. Darling Of Chelsea responded to
the toast, The legislature He spoke on
me recent election, saying that, as the
rush and Game League was non partisan
body, in all propriety he might express
JOY both for Democrats and Repu blicans
over the recent election. The Democrats
should rejoice because they found a three
dollar shoe in Massachusetts, which was
large enough to kick the governor out of
hls chair, and the Republicans because
- Ieddy had been irreyoca bly, esta Slished.
MI. Darling kept the banqueters in a roar
OF laughter during his remarks He told
q story OF q young boy who EXPRESSED To
his Sunday school teacher the belief that
his father was a God fearing man because
he always took his gun when he went out
on Sunday. In pleasing way he referred
TO the action on the Sunday hunting bill
~ the Senate, actuated, evidently, from
the same belief as the boy. In speaking
Of the comparison Of the fish and game

ONE KIND ACTION A DAY.
Happiness That Comes as Result of
Making Others Happy.

When you rise in the morning form
n resolution to make the day a happy
one to fellow creature, says Sydney
Smith. 1t is easily done-a left-ofi
garment to the man who needs it, a
kind word to the sorrowful, an en-
couraging expression to the striving.
Trifies in themselves as light as air
will do it, at least for the twenty-four
hours, and If you are young, depend
upon it, it will tell when you are
old. and If you are old it will send
you gently and happily down the
stream of time to eternity. BY the
most simple arithmetical sum look at
the result-you send one person, only
one, happily through the day; that is
365 during the course of the year. And
suppose you live only forty years af-
ter you commence that kind Of medi-
cine; you have made 14,60O beings
happy, at all events for time. Now,
is not this simple? 1t is too short for
sermon, too homely for ethics. too
easily accomplished for you to say,

is IN the least uncertain or wavering
