LONG, LONG AGO"
(BurlinotO Free Press !

The esteemed Morrisville con-
temporary, L. Halsey Lewis, has
been moved to combine politics
and geology in the following preg-
nant paragraph:
The Mountain Rule" who es-
tablished it? What good is it any
way? Must it be continued in spite
of ourselves? Who can answer these
three interrogations?
Can such geological conditions be?
When Dame Nature and Father
Neptune were sporting together in
this region cons ago, they decided
to raise up permanent monuments
to themselves and cut hieroglyphics
on the sides thereof that future
generations might read, and reading
wonder, and wondering admire, end
admiring become annual sum CT
visitors. So they divided the waters
on the least side" from the waters
on the "west side" and there being
woman's rights in those days Pa
Neptune was forced by the Dame to
sweep back the waters from the
projecting rocks, while she did fancy
work on the landscape. Whenever
Neptune became insubordinately
angry, he dashed the waves against
Dame Natures manipulating and
washed away the green tints and
the lace work and the fnery, but
she promptly and persistently went
to work on the other side of the
mountain. When Neptune's wrath
subsidized, Dame Nature returned to
the side of the mountain line he had
defaced, and tried to beautify the
ugly spots by covering them again
with verdure and bloom.
Thus did these two makers of our
landscape divide and alternate their
two offices on the least side' and
the "west side" Thus was estab-
lished the mountain rule"
Now cons marked this ancient
division of offices, and two years be-
ing an con to the politicians of the
region, the term was translated by
them into biennium. Hence our
biennial period each side of the
line.
The value of the mountain rule"
is beyond computation. 1t is more
priceless than Green Mountain emer-
aids. Builded on firm foundations
of immovable granite, it towers to
the political star and prevents the
Huns and the Vandals from invad-
ipgthe hol y republican empire oft
eAer than once in four years. But
for the invisible but impossible
barrier, the Visigohs of the Con-
necticut valley would to-day be
pouring into the region made fa-
nous by Champlain, and raping our
goyernorship. Moreover, the favor
lite sons in the trans-alpine districts
would biennially contend with the
favorite sons of the other side for the
possession of Capitoline hill, whereas
each region now enjoys immunity
from such invasion, and the favorite
sons of each side are left free to fight
it out among themselves. The
mountain rule" is thus seen to be a
humane institution, bulwarkl
against internecine strife, a political
barrier, a geological fact.
Must the mountain rule" con-
tinue in spite of ourselves?
1t must, unless perchance the
thing can be tunneled, for the ;ero-
plane is not indigenous in this region,
at least we have not been able to
discover the flying machine in the
fauna of Vermont.

LYRICS L EW ENGLAND.

One of the most delightful books,
which has come to our desk in
many months, is the Lyrics Of
New England and Other Poems
by John H. Flagg. A Vermonter by
birth, the sturdy tone of the Yer
mont pioneers sweeps through the
cerse; a citizen of the world by
adoption, the poems abound in the
vulture and learning of his mature
life, and through them all runs that
delicacy of expression, the mingled
humour and sadness, which most
lovers of nature and New England
feel, whether gifted with the art
of expressing it by pen or brush.
After reading the poems once,
one cares to linger over them and
muse, for Mr.. Flagg has given us
real poetry with nature, history
and the quaint New England folk
as his subjects. Here is a versatile
man, who has not only been blessed
by the muses., but who has made a
name for himself in his chosen
profession, the law, and material
prosperity has crowned his work.
Illness has been his lot for nearly
ten years, but he has one of those
rare natures which turns to poetry,
art or music instead of + pining
when physical weakness assails the
citadel of life. The book contains
poems on "Childhood's Home"
1.-THE Brook" code to Vermont, ,"
" A New England Twilight" "The
Testy Deacon" THE Awakening"
" Justin S. Morrill," " "The Woods"
"The Return" "The Patriarch
Oak" "Sleep," "The Monarch"
"On a Dew Drop" "OdeAto a
Bullfnch," A Gentle Maiden Do
| Know" can Amorette," Cap
tivity," II Think of Thee" "a
Memory ~ he Sluggard,'' I'm
daunted," "Across the Street."

hoods Dream, -" William Mckinley
" Destiny" 1.-The Old ear" Gods
Horologue," "Disi ll,sion," An
Epithalamium," Mont Blanc"
" Columbia" "To Marjorie, " The
Alchemist,' "The Final Voyage"
Many among them, we would
like. to quote entire, but we cannot
refrain from copying a part of his
" Ode to Vermont" which will
stir the pulse of every true Vermont
er:
. The beauty of thy matchless hills
The ravished eye with rapture fills,
While meadows nestle in between !
AS if too modest to be seen.
Thy fruitful fields and fertile
plains
Bear focks and herds and boun-
teous grains,
Nhere'er the gladdened eye may |
rest
The husbandman seems doubly blest
X X X
No trembling slave yet breathed |
thy air
And felt his shackles bind him there,
For by thy ancient Bill of Rights
All men stand equal on thy heights.
4 X X X
And for that land, by Heaven
caressed,
Where all are free, and none op-
pressed,
Thank we'll those sires whose master
hand
Built from thy rock and not thy
sand.
And guard with more than pious
care
Thy heritage, as trusted heir,
So that forever here shall be
The mountain home of libertyP

TROUBLE NOW At
PUMP ING PLANT
Another Chapter in MiShap
History of lntercepting
SeWer-FlO0dS.

Now there is more trouble in connec-
ton with the intereepting sewer, and this
time It is not the outlet pipe or the main
sewer. The pumps have stopped work
ing, in fact, have not worked for some
days, This time it is up to City Engi-
neer /. c. Kelsey, and not to the board
of works or its inspectors or the con-
tractors
All along the line of the intercepting
sewer for some days past water has been
bubbling out of the man holes in a man
ner that would do credit to a high-class
artesian well. The results are floods of
various dimensions on the west side, be-
ginning as far down as Ninth South and
Second West, where the work on Pat
Morans new barns is almost drowned
out.
The exact trouble is hard TO ascer-
tain. Something has broken down in con-
nection with the engines at the pumping
station. The city engineer says that the
fingers on the starting box burned out
Somebody else has it that the journals
were burned out on the main shaft, and
some one else says that the pump had
bilged its dynamo Anyway, 1t isn't
working and hasn't been doisg any
thing for week
The engines have broken down once OF
twice before. Once was just before the
mayor. board of works and others were
to go down and formally start the pumps.
City Engineer Kelsey was then obliged to
work a force night and day to get new
mast rugged and sails bent before the
mayor and party arrived
