A VERMONT FAMILY Thero is much philosophy and good ‘ in the following Bore whyoh we find Se the Mauehester (N H ) Mirror. We understand it is frem the pen of @. Q. Colton, tae associ ate of Dr. Boynton, the lecturer : A VAMILY PICTURE Mr. Evrror :-I propose to draw a picture of “our family’? for your readers, and ¥ prom- ise all be as truthfal asthe majority of biographical protraitures, drawa by interested parties Our family is only remarkat’> for numbers, there being ten sons and twe daughters. We were raised among the greee hills of Vermont By the aid of coarse fare and the absence of doctors, all the children, with the exception of one infant, lived till the youngest had rerched the age of thirty-six years. Only two have since died, as also our ‘sainted mother The limited means of our father only enabled him to furnish us a common school e@ucation; but we were trained to habits of industry and the most rigid integrity With these endow- mentse—the best that could be givon—we were thrown ujcn our own resources for success in life. At the age of fifteen or sixteen, each was consulted as to the choice of business or profession he desired to adopt, With a er’s blessing and a mother’s prayers, we forth to seek our fortunes. sult I have one brother, a Justice of the Peace, ‘with fair round belly and though he never read Blackstone. I have another brother, a clergyman and chaplaininthe U S Navy, eled through all parts of che world, has loet his sectarianism, and beomuse be has trans- ferred his religion from his head (or face) to his heart, is thought by some to have lost it. He has been a Governor of California, was sppointed a Historiograpker of the South Sea Exploring Expedition, amd filled several other important offices under government He had the honor of instituting the first trial by jury in California, buiiding the first sehool house, publishing tho first public announcement of the discovery of gold. His poems and literary productions are his best memorials. He died four years since. Ihave another brother, a clergymen, who | is a theological book-worm, and points out to others the way to Heaven with mathematical accuracy, but stays behind himself to pick up the stragglers. Ihave another brother, a cloth dresser, who if not a gentleman himself, has been mainly instrumental in making gentlemen of others {have another, a book-binder, whose art has been consulted in the selection of many a library. I have another brother, a slave-bolder, who regards slavery an evil and liberty a blessing, but holds £7» slaves for their good I have avother brother, a farmer, who thinks his duties performed, when he reads the mans and is for liberty and the Maino- aw. Ihave ancther brother, a tanner, currier, and shoemaker, who has heen so long tinker- | ing the understandings of other people, that | he bas become quite a philosopher himself — | Is this the reason why all shocmakers are pro | verbially philosophers ?

H And then there is your humble correspond- | ent—the titman, as he was for « time calied— who was once a doctor, (in embryo,) but hay- | ing thrown “physic to the dogs’ is now living by bis wits. Ina throw of the dice, {of for- tune) he once came down a Judge in Califor- nia, and after dispensing (or dispe ig with) justice for a time, came home with his pockets filled with “dust,” and saited it dowa in Syra- cuse, believing that salt would save him—| from poverty. He is now managing, by hcok | and crook and in an honorable way, to add to | this pile | We have over us our venerable father, now | in the ninety-second year of age, to whom we all look with the highest reverence and filial | affection He can waik six miles a day with great ease, and his memory is so strong that he can repeat a large portion of the Bible, j also whole sermons, ard more than seven j hundred stanzas of Watts’ psalms and hymns. We believe that to the early religious train- ing we received from him, aided by the strong common sense of our mother, united to habits of economy and industry which he inculeated, we owe whatever success wo have attained in life. We are all ‘‘ well to do’’ in the world, and come have become wealthy. We are all temperance men, if not tetotallers. We are professors of religion, if notehristians—though | we take widely different roads on the heay- enly way. I was reminded of a good Metho- dist preacher, when addressing a congrega- tion of different denominations “ Brethren, it is true we dont’t hitch horses very well here, but we are comforted with the reflection that we shall be able to do so when we afrive in the stables of eterna! sal- vation.”” There is one reflection to be draws from the above picture. Wealth scquired by gift is no bleszine, but often a curse. If our father had been wealthy, and had given each of us ten thousand dollars, some of us would have grown up in idleness and dissipation, and ended in poverty and crime. There can be no question of this, ‘ Honor and shame from no condition rise; Act well your part—there a/l the honor lies.’’ Yours, @Qc.

Most matches cre made at the fairs and festivals, but they are never made without brandy. deed, ‘‘ Courting with brandy,’ is a rb among Laplanders equivalent to the French comme wl faut. When the lady is rich and | the suitor is not, he very often throws his brandy away. The influence in matrimonial matters is nowhere felt more strongly than | here; dress counts for nothing; one | skin isas good as another. Rank is deter- mined only by the number of reindeer a man owns. Practically marriage is a matter of mere bargain and sale. Still, the Laplanders recognise the sacredness of the relation in their way. The silver which they pay for their bride must not be in the shape of rix dollars, it must be made up into ornaments. This is better than nothing. If a marriage is breken off, the party who takes a divorce gen- erally returns the bridal nts, and the more conscientious add a gift for the wasted brandy So, too, when the parents say “‘no,”” many are -_— as to pay for the bran- dy. As all the relatives have a word to say, tuere is generaJly a good deal of quarreling befpre the answer is agreed upon, and some management is required, oftentimes to make it favorable. r Yastor Fjelistrom tells of a wedding in Jockmock in which be was interested for the wooer Several attempts had been made in vain before he was en, as spokesman. An old woman overwhelmed everything and deafened everybody with op; jon to the match. When he came in «i out “No, no, it shan’t be; not even fftne flesh- eater’sson comes, he shan’t have her ”’ Fjell- strom, then a student, saw that nothing could be done so long as this old harpy was around, | and whispered to a magistrate, who was als¢ enlisted on the same side, to get the old wo- man out of the way somehow or other. Soon found herself in the street; she growled bout the door like a gadfly in an empty bar- rel, rattled and slammed, ehriekod and swore but could not getin, as the magistrate held the door. Meantime the matter was success- | fully concluded Fjelistrom had brought bet- ter brandy; his father was the parson; be spoke better, and offered a few more presents. en they were ready to go the parson’s the | door was opened and the old bag rashed in; but she was too late. The importence of having an influcntial spokesman can hardly be over estimated. They are often paid for their services. An oid affair came off in Aricploug at the last fair. An old widower, bearing the eupho- nious name ef Styx, was strack with the orasy Nea—so all his country people thought it—of making advances to the widow of a foreigaer, who held her head above everybody else in the village, as her husband had been district magistrate. Styx, who saw that the matter would be one of great diffi rf wont to the richest man in the village, and begged him to be his spokesman. He thought that his age and standing would have their influence, and ofered him, in case of success, a brass kettle, which, like Homer’s heroes, he described. They could not agree, however: the desired spokesman wanted the kettle at any rate, while Styx would give it to him if be suc- ceeded. The whole party was remarkable ; Styx was seventy years old—his Dulcinea six- ty, and the spokesman over eighty. Although Styx could not make the brass kettle bargain, he kept his courage up, and resolved to do as well as he could in person He went to her and said : ‘yu have cows, I have reindeer— look at me; I am just like your first hus- band,” ond more of the same sort. The whole thing seemed 80 comic to the proud Sigrid Stozada, that far from getting at the oor fellow’s advances, she began to talk with tim, and kept him as long as possible in eus- pense asto his fate. His effortsand hisanxiety continually rose in ridiculousness, until at last dinner time came, and he got a shameful mitten Tae Epitor or raz Loxpon Tiwes.—That mysterious personage, of whom everybody has heard, but of whom so little is known, the Editor of the London Times, is now in this country He arrived in the Niagara, and bas one into Canada, but intends coming to New Fork in time to witness the great struggle for the Presidency, in November. this great potentate in the newspaper world is Delaine ; and, like many great potentates in the history of nations, he has inherited his honors The father of Mr. Delaine was many years a sub-editor of the Times, and after- wards editor-in-chief of the Morning Chroni cle The younger Delaine was educated at Cambridge, and served under his father, while the latter was on the Times, and the father and son were editors of the rival papers at the Same time. There are now in this country the editor-in-chief and two of the prominent writers of the “leading journal.”’ e result will doubtless be a much more accurate and temperate view of American affuirs in that paper hereafter than has characterized its ieaders in time past.
