served So years in the Office of the
controller of the currency, has been
given promotion which carries with
il increased pay of $500 .,aar. Miss
Hyde is described as "a diminutive,
kindlyfaced woman with dark hair,
lightly silvered. She was appointed
to a clerkship by President Lincoln
in November, lSG4 At that time
Charles X. Field vouched for her as
capable, alert and efficient, and 50
. she has proved to be. Those 1gho re
member the writer will know how
Characteristic that phrasing was Of one
Of Brattleboro' s notable figures.

Transformed Weeds.

There are some beautiful flowers
which are the pride of our gardens
nowadays, which began as weeds.
Many of our faults could be changed
into something admirable, if only We
took pains enough. Avarice, by a lit
tie wise direction, become prudence
and thrift, while extravaganza is SO
closely related to generosity that the
one can easily become the other.
There is hardly fault that is not so
closely related to virtue that it may
be made into that virtue by taking suf.
