A Rest Incentive

When wearied with toll or tried with
care, what so thoroughly rests both mind
and body as an hour or less with good,
cheerful look Even if there should be a
bit of love story" what, a love
story?" Yesl Realizing that fearful bug
bear to the minds of some good mistaken
souls, who never had any love story of
their own, such an one as crowns heavi-
ly or signs deeply over the announce
ment of wedding no matter how fair
the promise of the future; such as seek an
opportunity to inform the bride to be"
that she little knows the trouble she is
coming to, adding oftimes that shed
better have thought she was we'll enough
of as she was with such a good home"
Can we point to any lot in life exempt
fro N trouble Any condition here secure
from change? Many good homes have
been suddenly broken up and the rem
nant of the family circle scattered. Many
times the favored petted daughter is
turned adrift.
Throw gloomy theories away Place
another picture in memories hall. Many
have read the love story. Vows are be-
ing made and will be consummated as
time goes on. Aud il is right. Then be
a true and loving husband or wife. Make
home the kingdom. Do not canvass the
village for neighborhood scandals and
friends affairs. Find other occupation
for your mind.

Pertaining to Teachers

An interesting course of study for the
Missisquoi Valley School Union has re-
Gently been issued, compiled by w. c.
McGinnis, the efficient superintendent of
that union. The district comprises the
towns OF Lowell, 'Westfeld, Troy and
Jay. The course of study has been
worked out and placed in the hands of
the teachers, mot as an arbitrary set of
rules to be strictly adhered to, but as a
guide, and for the purpose of making
more nearly the uniform the work of the
schools of the union"
We wish in this connection to express
our hearty belief in the work that is be-
ing done by the school superintendency
in improving the schools of Vermont
This system has produced the best re-
suits in other states. 1t is bringing them
about in our own state. There should,
however, be a more liberal policy in the
payment of teachers throughout the
State. You cannot expect to keep the
best teachers if their ability is recognized
in other places more quickly than it is
at home. Neither can you expect the
highest qualifications and best prepara-
ton of teachers unless you are willing to
pay something for the tirHe taken in that
preparation. The teacher who has put
IN time and labor in Normal School work
should receive enough salary to get back
on the money invested, as well
as pay for days work.

The following is from Harper's Maya,
zine of June, 1866
Reports have been received that San
ia Anna is seriously ill, but they lack
confirmation. His death which was said
to be anticipated would plunge the coun-
try into still greater confusion than now
prevails. We have confused accounts OF
the progress of the revolution in various
quarters of the country. but they are
very inconclusive. At Tehuantepec the
rebels were in possession of the roads and
suburbs and had made one or two at
tacks on the place. They are represented
as being a wild, lawless, and undisci.
plined rabblt, and as being guilty of the
greatest outrages against person and
property. The flag of the United States
consulate was stolen by them in the
night, but a demand of the CONSUL
elected a prompt apology from Salmar,
their leader. In several other depart
ments it is said that the revolutionists
have been effectually routed. The great.
est obstacle to their success seems to be
the distrust entertained of them by the
people, as they are generally composed of
the worst class in the country; most of
their leaders having long been known as
chiefs of brigands."
On first reading the above one is temp
ted to say The thing that is is that
which has been already" and there is no
new thing under the sum-" When one
thinks for a moment, however. the fact
stands out prominently that meeting
of Pan-American mediators at Niagara
could not even have been dreamed of in
1855. Yes. there are changes for the bet
ter in sixty years.

A MISTAKEN idea

There are some people who still resort
to drugged pills or alcoholic syrups to
overcome colds, nervousness or general
debility, and who know that the pure,
unaduiterated nourishment in SCOTS
Emulsion is eminently better, but refrain
from taking it because they fear it may
lead to excessive fat or ohesity.
This is a mistaken idea, because SCOTS
Emulsion first strengthens the body before
making flesh. Its blood-forming proper
ties aid nature to throw off sickness by
building health from its very source, and
flesh is formed only by its continued use.
Avoid alcoholic substitutes for SCOTT S.

FLEETWOOD for GOVERNOR

! The oft-repeated enquiry, Why don't
| Fleetwood run tor the Governorship
| finds an answer in the announcement OF
Mr. Fleetwood of his candidacy for the
Governorship which is given herewith.
1t is an unusual thing, but decidedly
| wise one, for a candidate to announce
the platform on which he will stand for a
nomination. Mr.. Fleetwood does this
and emphatically and forcibly defines the
the grounds on which he will be candi-
date.
We believe the people OF Vermont want
just such a man. This is the time for
action on the various points he enum-
crates and in Mr.. Fleetwood will be
found one who will make an ideal Gov
ernor. Here is his platform =
To the people of Vermont:
In response to many inquiries
and believing that in public affairs
man should speak as frankly to the
public as to his intimate friends, |
wish to state my present attitude in
regard to the governorship.
This high honor should be confer
red as mark of popular choice and
not be the purchase of the pocket of
a candidate or the selection of boss
driven machine.
If it should be made to appear that
a considerable portion of the people of
Vermont desire me to be their candi-
datefor this office this year upon the
following platform, will gladly de-
vote my time and strength to its
attainment:
l. A simple direct primary act
for whose adoption the people gave
their mandate at the last March
meeting by large majority.
2. Limitation by statute of the
amount of money which candidates
may expend in seeking office and
that limit small.
8. A more drastic corrupt prac-
tses act and its strict enforcement.
A. Publicity of campaign ex-
penses.
5. Exemption from taxation Of
all debts bearing 5 per cent interest.

6. Conservation of natural re-
sources for the development of YER
mont and the preservation thereof
for the permanent good of her citi-
zens and not for exploitation for ex-
ternal private advantage.
z. Simplification of legal proceed
ure.
8. Adequate control of public
service corporations to- protect the
paramount needs of the people and
to conserve legitimate returns of
capital invested and labor employed
therein.
9. An adequate workmens COM
pensation act.
10. Limitation by statute of the
sessions of the General Assembly.
II. A drastic decrease in state
expenses.
While | do not expect this office to
be handed me on a silver platter | do
not intend to gild it's seeking with
a lining of gold.
