BARRE AND MONTPELIER.

For having loaned" their president
for a brief time so that he could explain
the progress being made by their organi.
cation, the Montpelier Board of Trade
members have the hearty thanks of the
Barre Board of Trade, whose members
had the pleasure last evening of listening
to w. c. Cotton, who is an enthusiastic
boomer for Montpelier, Washington
county and the state of Vermont. Presi.
dent Cotton is a firm believer in what
Montpelier and Barre have right at hand
and his presentation of the matter last
evening was a source of inspiration, be.
cause Of the very evident note of SINGER
ity back of his words His plea for
greater cooperation between the two
boards of trade seemed to find quite
ready response from the Barre people,
and it seems entirely practicable for the
two cities to take up certain matters
jointly and to their mutual benefit. The
formation OF a county board OF trade
while at the same time each community
retains its own organization of the sort
would do wonders toward advancing the
interests of Washington county, which
even now is one of the most progressive
sections of the state, blessed as it IL
with fine natural resources and splendid
agricultural advantages. We have the
best in thel inc of granite, and first -class
slate also; we have productive land; and
the two cities of themselves furnish no
mean market for considerable portion
of the products which might be raised
from those lands. Therefore, the plan
of cooperation to take advantage OF
those opportunities is something which
the citizens of the two cities would dc
well to consider seriously and with de.
liberation.

MAUD Muller" With all that poetic
charm of which Whittier was absolute
master, he pictures to us midsummer
days casual meeting between Maud Null
Ter, a simple country lass, and the judge,
refined, digniied, and born to the pur
pie. The Judge tarries moment by
Maud's hay field to quaf a cup Of spring
water. Perchance he fingers little
longer than necessary; at any rate, as
they separate, each becomes conscious
Of pitiful longing that has lodged in
their hearts. The years roll on Maud
marries a man unlearned and poor, the
Judge weds a woman of his own caste,
who lives for fashion, while he lives
for power; and still, in the heart Of both
the Judge and the country lass there
fingers that aching void--that pitiful
yearning that will never realize salts
faction--and many a time and oft into
the mind Of each comes this thought,
'And Of all sad words Of tongue or pen,
the saddest are these; IT might have
