PEACHAM AND VERMONT.

A hundred years is a short time in
the history of the world And vet
much has happened in the century
that has elapsed since the Juvenile
Library was founded. Our country
was then about to engage in a second
war with Great Britain. It was an
uncalled-for and fruitless contest, but
from our own viewpoint probably es-
Sentlal to the definite establishment of
the United States as an independent
nation capable of maintaining it's pos
itiOn. Followed other wars some
now, like those with Tripoli and AL
glers, all but forgotten. Came final
ly the inevitable civil strife which
knitted irrevOcably the bonds of un-
ion and Incidentally freed he slaves.
But we need not recount the episodes
OF a century. Those which were
momentOuS are fresh in memory.
BY way of contrast, however it is in
terest1ng to note that, While the popu-
latlon of<the United States has in
creased from six millions to ninety
millions since the Juvenile Library
was organized, the residents of
Peacham are actually fewer in num-
Der. The fact is in no sense discre-
ditable. New England townships
nave constituted the seed ground of
the nation. The great west has be-
come the granary, not of this country
alone, but to a considerable degree
of the entire world. And Peacham
has done its full share in supplying

provided for all time in recognition
Of his gratefulness. So let us in
laudable emulation, while paying due
tribute to the great man, not forget
the good woman. Her husband was
a shiftless cobbler and disappeared
from his home in Danville about
1912, leaving his widow penniless
and his children destitute. Of the
sons Thaddeus was the puny one
Consequently, as the custom was then
and may be now, he was marked for
a collegiate career. With that pur-
pose in mind his mother moved from
DanVille to Peacham, thus paying
in effect at least the most notable
tribute ever rendered to those sagaci-
Gus men who took this academy in
preference to the county buildings.
THE school then" says Mr.. Mccall
in his Biography of Mr.. Stevens, was
a very humble institution both arclli-
tecturally and in it's means of in
struction. 1t had no large endow-
ments no long list of learned instruct
ors, and no imposing buildings to
strike the imagination; but it's rude
walls were thronged with pupils
eager to acquire knowledge, and they
made the most of the N cans at their
command
So they do now, [ assume. In any
case, Thad Stevens certainly did then,
repaylng to the full in industry and
application the typical Vermont
mother who withheld no sacrifice in

MN. Long years after he said of her:

OF my life resulted from my ability
to give my mother a farm of $50
acres-that now occupied, as you
all know, by my old friend Robert
Esden-.'and dairy of IA cows and
an occasional bright gold piece which
she loved to deposit in the contrib
ton. But he felt that he never had
repaid her adequately, because in his
own simple but eloquent and beautiful
words the debt of a child TO his
mother, you know. is one of the debts
we can never pay"
God knows we never can. Such OBJ
Hgauons are too sacred for more than
simple reference. But we may upon
occasion like this f1ttingly bear testi-
mony to our appreciation of thar
which we owe by inheritance 10 the
