The following poem was read hv Mr. Wallace
Urtice. jtt the t.'entcniiial celebration of the
ISattl.; of lk-niiiiiiston, Bennington, Yt., Aug.
lGth. 1S77.
The "Catamount Tavern" is lively to-night ;
The "boys" of Yenuont and Xcw Hampshire
are here.
Drawn up in line in the gloaming lisht
To greet I'arsun Allen with shout and w ith
cheer.
Over mountain and valley from I'ittsflcld green.
Through the driving rain of that August day,
Tlit3 "Hock" marched on with martini mien.
And the I 'arson rode in his "one-horse tdiay."
Three cheers for old Berkshire ! the Oen'ral said.
As the boys of Xcw England drew up face to
face,
Baurn bids us a breakfast to-tnoriow to pread.
And the 1'amoa is here to ;iy us the grace.
The lads who are with me have come here to
fight. And we know of no grace, was the Farson's
reply,
Save the name ol Jehovah, our country, and
right.
Which your own Ethan Allen pronounced at
Fort Ti.
To-morrow, said Stark, there'll be fightingto do,
If you think you can wait till the morning's
light.
And, Parson. I'd conquer the British with you.
Or my Molly will be a widow at night.
What the rarson dreamed in that Bennington
camp.
Neither Yankee nor Prophet would dare to
Kuess ;
A vision, perhaps, of the David stamp,
Y itli a mixture of Cromwell and good Qt-.cca
Bess.
Bat tve know the result of that glorious day.
And the victory won ere the night came down.
IIuw Warner charged in the bitter fray,
V.'itii Kossiter, Hobart. and old John Brown.
And how in a lull of the three hours' light
The l'arsoti harangued the Tory line.
As lie flood on a stump with his musket bright
And sprinkled his text with the powder Due.
The eword of our Lord is our battle cry !
A refuge sure in the hour of need
And Freedom ami Faith can never die,
1- arikle first of the I'untan creed !
l'crhapt the "occasion"' was rather rash.
He said to his comrad.-s after the rout,
For behind a bih I paw a l!:ioh.
B.it I iiriNl thaf way and put it out.
nd mar.y the sayiag;, eccentric and rjuecr.
Thru were hriuded about the country's side.
Quoted in Berkshire for many a year,
Of the i iitslu'Id m.ucli and the I'arsorfs ride.
Honor to Stark and his resolute mrn ;
To the mount ita hoys all honor and praise ;
And with shout an 1 cheer we welcome again
The I 'arson v. ho came in his one-hor.se chaise.
Aiii'u.'j;'i? "-ciirorcetin'tits front Berkshire

Labor is' honorable, and tho laborer j
worthy of honor i:i direct prop irti-.m i
to the personal integrity, i:idrj).;i:-h':icc
and capacity that g) wiih' it." Abject j
servitude, even when voluntary, is nei- j
tl..-r honorable to the Individual nor
profitable to the m ;s$;
This is the American idea: il is the
independent laborer" hat honors labor.
t u.i.tppi.y oi la.e jears me ma. amy !
of our working men have forgotten or j
failed to learn this basic principle of j
our iocial, industrial, and political sys-
tern. Worse: they have hearkened to j
demagogues who have taught them j
contrary doctrines tlo-trinas subver- J
sive of all true manliness in working
men, and calculated only to degrade
labor by reducing the laborer to prac
tical slavery.
Could there be a bitterer satire on
the manliness of working men than
the main plank in the platform of the
"bread winner's league" bread beg
gar's league, more properly to the
effect that the government in other
words, their fellow -citizens should
furnish them, with employment and
wages? Is government servitude the
highest aim of the present generation
of working men?
Time was when the American labor
ing man's boast was that he was, or
was bound to be, his own master, ask
ing odds of no one. He felt himself a
free man, capable of self-support; a
man wiiose strength and skill need not
go a-begging for employment. While
this was the rule labor could not be
redundant. The laborer was not ab
jectly dependent on some one to hire
him, for he wa3 able and willing to
work for himself. However limited
the scope of his productive industry,
he was, or could be, an independent
producer; and his work was to be
sought for if it was to be hired.
Hut all this, it would seem, has been
changed. As a rule the laborer trades
man, mechanic, artiz in, or what not
is not and no longer aims to be first of
all a free man. On the contrary lie
desires nothing and looks forward to
nothing but to be dependent on some
one for a job. He must b8 hired, or
he can do nothing; and such employ
ment failing he falls back, not on his
own capacity for self-support, not up
on independent industry, but to the
vain demand that government shall
make work for him. Then having made
himself utterly dependent on wages, he
foolishly imagines that he can overturn
the fundamental laws of work and
wages, and dictate the terms at which
he will be employed i'.nd the kind of
work lie will do.
The first lesson that the working
men of the country need to ljarn is
that they have no claim upon any one
individual, corporation, or govern
ment for employment. They are not
infants, but men: and they must be
willing to act a man's part in the great
industrial struggle, or go to tho wall.
Inability to find a master is no excuse
for idleness; nor more is any lack of
demand for the specific labor they pre
fer to do. The manliness of the work
ing man is gone, the prosperity of the
working class vanishes, the moment
men give themselves up to individual
helplessness the first fruit of the fal-
l:icy that other men :tre in duty bound
to provide them with the means of
makinsr. a living. Xo part of the com
munity, neither "capital " nor govern
ment, is in any way bound to furnish
work for any one. And it matters lit
tle whether men demand or beg that
employment be given them as their
only resource against starvation, they
ask only what would but seal their
moral and industrial degradation. To
persist in huddling together in increas
ing helj lessness, is simply to rivet the
chains of the slavery the working
classes are doing most to bind upon
their own limbs. The laws of nature
cannot be reversed to relieve men of
the consequences of their folly.
Xoc until the old spirit of manly
self-respect and individual self-helpfulness
is revived: not until the majority
of the industrial classes seek first to
become, oner or later, their own em
ployers, will prosperity leturn to them.
Until then the labor market will be
glutted ; by their very numbers the mob
of employment seekers will destroy the
chances of all for steady employment;
and by their hungry competition with
each other they will dissipate the only
hope of any for remunerative wages.
It is not any absolute redundancy of
laborers as much as the misdirection
of their efforts that makes or largely
helps to make the times so hard for
laboring men.

What Judicions Advertising Will Di.
From the New York Daily Graphic.
It has been said that " The road to
fortune is through pi inters ink ;" and
the truth of the maxim has been over
and over again exemplified in the eases
of many whom we might mention,
whose success has been brought about
solely by liberality and judiciousness
in advertising. One of the most recent
and notable instances, is that of Mr. L.
Lum Smith, the energetic young pro
prietor of "Smithography," who is in
debted for his present remarkable suc
cess to his firm belief in the efii.acy of
printers ink.
A native of Natchez, Mississippi, in
1S71, when a mere boy, laboring under
many disadvantages, and totally igno
rant of business and the ways of the
world, Mr. Smith commenced teaching
his system of drawing, under the title
of "Smithography, and by dint of hard
work and perseverance, he managed, in
three years, to accumulate a few hun-j
dred dollars, with which sum he moved j
toSt.Loub-,, Mo. Here he began adver-
CT I
Using in newspapers, and his business
at once commenced to grow so fast,
that he was obliged to employ assisl-
ants, in order to keep pace with the j Murphy and A. A. Laft.rty ; Clay sent
orders which poured ia upon him from j A. K. M irsh. county Coniniissitiner, L.

it took four clerks to fill orders as they
came in. Over 130.000 of his "Smitii

witnm the reach of all classes, and 1Mie,llS s,nt w A- nil worth, son of
affording hundreds of agents the means
of making a profitable living by the
sale of the instrument.
His success has been so remarkable,
that many have wondered at it and
some have attempted to imitate his
instrument, but without success.. The
superiority of the " Smithograph " is so
well established and recognized, that
it is the only one of its kind that is
sold. And so far from tho demand
having in any way fallen off owing to
the many imitations now in the mar
ket, we are assured that the sale is on
the increase, and that within the last
six months, over S",000 worth have
been sold at one branch ollice alone.
Dratich olliees are being established"
all over the country, and the most
strenuous efforts are being made to
extend the demand for these instru
ments. Mr. Smith's success is a forcible illus
tration of what may be achieved by
judicious and liberal advertising. If
he. handling only one article, by adver
tising, can reap such results as he has
done and is still doing, what may not
any other man. who has a large and
varied stock of goods, succeed in accom
plishing, if he were to have recourse to
the same means a judi-wous use of
printers' ink V
Laughed at and discouraged by his
friends, when he started out on lite
career, he has steadily adhered to the
principles which have actuated him
from the outset. Year by year he has
increased his advertising, and the suc
cess wliich has crowned his eH'orls so
far, has been mainly attributable to
the liberal advertising he has done, as
well as to the energetic and indefatig
able manner in which ho has conducted
and pushed his business.
If he may be regarded as a fair repre
sentative of the South, it should revei
lle said again that " the Southern peo
ple are lazy."
Pressing Autumn Leaves.
Press the leaves carefully between
newspapers, taking care to avoid lai
pingone over the other. The next
day take out tho leaves and dry the pa
pers. Put the leaves .".gain in the press
and the next day repeat the dry iug pro
cess. This should be done three or
four times, until all the inoi.sltiie i.i ex
tracted from the leaves. This is trou
blesome but the result will be briliaut
If the face of each leaf, after the first
pressing, is brushed ovu" with sulphur

A new ti.-e for dynamite has been

stroying fish by means of dynamite is
so common that it is feared the pil
chards, mackerel, and herring will not
stand such treatment, but will leave
the coast forever. There is talk of a
bill to make the use of dynamite for
fish-killing purposes a criminal offence,
punishable with imprisonment and
hard labor. A dilliculty in dealing
with the matter arises from the three

Special to the Slate Journal.
Atchison, Oct.G, 2 a. n..
At 12 o'clock to-night the western
abutment to the great iron bridge that
spans the Missouri at this point caved
into the river with a terrible crash,
carrying the entire fifteen foot wall and
seventy-five feet of the embankment.
The gra lael sliding of tho work has
been noticed for the past forty-eight
hours, and Mr. L. L. Todd, superinten
dent of the bridge, has had a force of
men employed both d iv and night, do
ing everything that could be done to
avert a disaster, and preparing for the
worst, should it come. A force of
stonemasons have been at work tear
ing off the wall till day, so that the long
draw span might be cleared and escape
the danger that threatened when the
wreck should come. Mr. Todd was
superintending the work in person, and
succeeding in swinging the draw clear
at 10 o'clock exactly, and live minutes
later it could not have been swung.
At 12 o'clock the huge mass of heavy
masonry, thous in Is of cubic yards of
earthwork, and the oflice and bridge
approach were hurled into the Missouri
river. The damage has been confined
exclusively to the abutment, and ev
er thing else is safe. A large force of
workmen will be put to work clearing
away the debris, and the bridge officers
promise that an entire new and firm
abatement, resting and anchored on
bed rock, will be in place in less than
thirty days.

the light, and holding tin shade, and
blending itself more happily to the lay
ing of folds, and tho fall t drapery,
than thin taffeta or stiff gros-graiu.
The revolution of idea was, how
ever accomplished very gradually at
first, fine cashmere, which we wen so
slow to appreciate, must be combined
with silk or tho silk with velvet. It
seemed iinpo.-sibli! that a ni'-ru dress
of wool would by any mere freak of
fashion be coit.-idered in tin; light of
"dress" at all ; and even now, there are
women who will spoil a charming
dress of soft wool by adding to ita
trimming of che:ip to'.k which wears
off in a very short space of time, leav
ing the edges ragged and the whole toi
let shabby, before the body part is at
ail worn.
The new materials of the present
season, however, may be considered a
sort of apotheosis of wool. They aro
intended to c unbine with plain wool.'
rich silk or velvet, in tlM m iking o7
complete cos.umes, and blend very
small quantities of hiyh color io
the dark or neutral grounds so admir
ably that they are almost lost ia tin
depths of the shade formed by the fig
ured or tufted woo'.
The ground colors are all dark or.
neutral seal-brow n, the deepest shades
of moss 01 dragon-green, black, blue,
and linssiati-grey ; but instead of the
smooth surface, or a alight Iy roughened
one like camel's hair cloth, we havo
them dotted and tufted irregularly, or
covered with twisted, !ibrou.;dike cords
in the ground color, intermixed with
dash s of cardinal, yellow, blue while
or purple. This intermixture is so
vivid that it has the effect of illumiti-'
ation; while t he blending in tho dark
shadow of the ground-work, is to per
fect that 110 one color piedomiun'e.S'
or is even distinctly visible, the entire
effect is singularly artistic, and won--derf
idly well adapt J J to the moulded
forms and designs of the over-dresses
which assist to form the complr-lo cos-'
tumes of the present season. Polon
aise, or over.skirt and basque, make'
little difference, so long a.i the gener
ally symmetrical effect is observed.
In the arrangement of the hai., one
hardly goes by ride and ni'-a.iure-just
now, and provided that c.trme.v
011 either hand are avoided, one may
proceed almost a llililnru.
The greater number of coiiTuu-i come
quite low at the back, or quite high,
and "Catogan" braids, or the French
twist, are chiefly employed, oeca-ion'al
additions being made by short curls
placed in soiuj graceful way.
Fingtr pull's are very often w . n a
a completion, and among these a comb
or other ornament soui.-times affords a
pretty finish. The di maud for linger
ptfils, indeed, amounts almo.st to a
rage, and as a consequence, perhaps,
we find them in increasing vaiiaty as
to size, some being made very large.,
to be used in combin itio.i witli tho
smaller ones.
Ei.ttons vary in si.e, and arc oi leal
ly beautiful and often artistic manu
facture. Shaded pearl, smoked pearl
set in oxydized rims, daik shell, ebony,,
vegetable ivory and grained wood are
all used in their composition. Coin
buttons anel sequins, are still fashion
able, but the former are not considered
good taste unless they are wrought out
of the precious metals.
Long cloaks have decidededly taken
the place of the short jackets; and
though they have moderated some
what the extreme depth of last winter
yet as to ) inches still affords a good
average range, inclusive of the major
ity of winter garments, or exc- pting
the fur-lined circular wraps, which
are as long, and perhaps a trifle longer
than any other designs woiu.
The leading color this season foi
street wear is a dark shade eif green,,
which only shows a tinge of yellow
when lni l to the light. It is some
times called "moss" and sometimes
"dragon"' green, and in the new tuftol
and knotted fabrics is combined with
lines and dots of raw silk, shot in dash
es of yellow, cardinal red, blue', white or
lighter gre en.
Of course seal-brow n and navy blin:
still hold their own; but boidi havw
been so long and and so well worn that
a change is very welcome; and this
beautiful d.irk green is so universally
becoming, and contrasts so admirably
with the rich shtd:s of crimson u.'
the more delicate ivory tilh ul, in lib
bom and garniture, that if is s ite le
be a great favorite.
Tho new woole n material i for suit
