* Friendship can't be sold or gained, Being a heavenly gift to man : It can only be retained
In the breast of candid friends.
By the employments men pursue. Groundless honors, selfish views, Be constrained, in freedom choose, Virtue, grounded friendship. Thieves and robbers may combine. And pursue their measure- Share their plunder. drink their wine, Wanting not for leisure. Friendship loud they may proclaim. Even make it all their theme. * *
When young Sam of old was seer. Saul was Lord's annointed : War ensued, and soon we hear David is disappointed. Farther back it is just so, Forward Absalom's next in tow.
Times and countries whelm'd in woe. All from deviation. Trace all ages, down till now, See the same invention ; Places made, who fills and how Sorrowful is contention ? As we've all our place assigned, All accept it, then we're joined. Grounded friendship here we'll find Not from false pretension. *
In scripture we read of a foolish old king. Whose graces and praise all the nations do sing. How he built a fine fabric forever to stem On the Mount Moriah, called Jerusalem. This prince had a father, lived before him we're told Whose practice was murder. for wouder and gold. His practice it was that prepared the way For his sou to have a thonsaud old maids for a prey.

HISTORY OF DANBY.
HAPPY INNOCENCE-WHILE VIRTUE CROWNS THEIR ACTIONS.
Let envy rage and malice swell And dip their tongues in gall ; Virtue abhors the tales they tell And soars above them all. The foolish, envious, tattling train Invents new tales to spread,
While virtue feels no restless pain Reposing on its bed. Think, O, my soul ! is this the case ? This is the truth divine, The brawler sinketh to disgrace, But innocence will shine. Happy the breast where truth prevails, It sounds a heavenly note-
While falschood raises boisterous gales To waft old Charon's boat. Truth is a virtue Heaven doth teach, And freedom is her gains ; And every stride its votaries reach Leads to the Elysian Plains.
THE CRY OF A PENITENT SOUL.
Now unto thee my God, I cry, Whilst thon shalt give me breath ; O! may my soul to thee be nigh · When I expire in death. Could I but taste a Saviour's love, "Twould sweeten dying pain ; My soul could smoothly soar above Aud death would be my gain. But if my Saviour hides his face What terrors do appear ! Ten thousand sins here find a place And sink me in despair.
My sins o'erwhelm me like a flood And poison every vein ; But the sweet balm of Jesus blood Can wash out every stain.
But how can we expect much grace By sin so much defiled,
When I began my sinful race When I was but a child?
But Jesus calls ! make no delay, Resign thy stubborn will : Forsake your sins and come away, And there is pardon still, But O, dear Jesus ! I am thine-
253
HISTORY OF DANBY.
I'm coming at thy call ; Into thine arms, now I resigu My spirit and my all. Come Holy spirit, heavenly dove, Warm this cold heart of mine. Then I can sing redeeming love And in salvation shine.
"With all his wit and waggery, Rowley was considered a man of sound judgment aud ability. In stature he was of medinm height, and rather thick set ; rapid in his movements ; had light eyes, sprightly and piercing, indicating rapidity of perception and sometimes the facetious poetic faculty ; yet he was generally a sedate and thoughtful man, a firm believer in the christian relig- ion, and in sentiment a Wesleyan." We learn of but three Children ; Thomas jr., Rouben and Nathan, who removed to Shoreham with their father.

Har- rington and removed to Dorset, where he lived some five years. In 1866 he returned and settled at the Borough, on the place formerly owned by Dr. E. O. Whipple. Mr. Scott has been one of our most active business men, and by economy, industry and close application has succeeded in accumulating a good property.

SIGNOR, HENRY from Nine Partners, at a very early day, was the pioneer settler, on "Dutch Hill." He was of Dutch descent, from which the name of that locality was derived. Other settlers soon followed, until the settlement on "Dutch Hill" became quite extensive. At one time it numbered no less than eighteen tami- lies. That once prosperous settlement has long since been discon- tinued, and but few traces can now be seen. There some of our most prominent meu once lived, James McDaniels, Jared Lobdel. Henry Herrick, jr., the Lewis, the Buxtons, and many others : but it is sad to reflect upon the ravages of time.

peseverance the forest was subdued, and true to his purpose a home was established. The farm still remains as it ever has since its settlement in the hands of the family. We had the pleasure not long since, of visiting the spot where the first log house was built. But one solitary apple-tree remains, and but few er- idences are to be seen where the house stood. A nice sugar orchard of several acres, was pointed out to ns. and were in- formed that it was once meadow land. Caleb Smith was . a member of the Quaker society, a man of peaceable and quiet habits, whose name is ever mentioned by those who knew him, with profound esteem and most affectionate remembrance. His descendents have been numerous, many of whom still remain here. He died at about 80 years of age. His children were, Nathan, Asa, Bareck, Debrah, Ebenezer, Lydia and Rhoda, who died in 1850.

SMITH. NATHAN I. Elizabeth da. of Wing Rogers, and succeed ed to the homestead. He became a leading and respectable citi- zen, au industrious and thrifty farmer. In 1799 he built the house in which his grandson now lives, which at that day was one of the best in town. Upon the door handle is stamped the date "1799," which is considered a valuable relic, being still kept in use. Such old relies are not without their history. Upon look- ing at this our mind wanders back through a period of 70 years, made by one who has long since gone to that "bourne from which none return," and of the many, whose hands have clasped it, who have passed away forever. They bind us to the past, and heip to awaken the memory of those who have gone before. But few older relics of the kind are found. Nathan Smith was also a member of the Quaker society, and a man of good habits. He died in 1824, aged 71. A man who was esteemed by all who kuew him, for the excellence of his principles, can be truly writ- teu of him. Ilis wife died in 1817, aged 50. Their children were : Barak. Merey, Augustus, Daniel, Friend R., Ruth, Cath- erine and Lydia, who married AAugustus Sweet ; Barak mn. a Palmer, and settled in Collins, N. Y.

He is a man of good talents, possessing in a high degree the confidence of his townsmen, and has from time to time, held va- rious offices of trust. He has been one of the listers four years, in which position he performed his duties with marked ability. Io 1861. he was elected a justice of the peace, which office he has held for seven years. He has ever taken a deep and lively inter- est in the cause of education, having been honored with the office of Superintendent of Common Schools, from 1857 to 1861, the Inties of which he also performed acceptably to the town, and in which he won great credit. His very able reports each year, up- on the condition of our school, word highly nicht, beneficial. and gave evidence of his carnestuess and faithfulness in the work. Mr. Smith is one of our most scientific, practical, and thorough going farmers, to which he devotes much of his time. He is particular- ly distinguished for the great variety of fruit which he eulti- vates. He has been connected for many years with the Rutland County Agricultural Society, being one of its leading and most active members. In 1862, he was elected its Vice President, and in 1863, was appointed President. He is at present the well known and efficient Treasurer of the Society, which position he has occupied for several years. He is one of the leading dairy- men of the town, his butter and cheese having taken the 1st pre- mium at our State and County Fairs. It is also well known that Mr. Smith is among the largest and most celebrated manufac- turers of maple sugar and syrup in Western Vermont. which has a reputation throughout this and other States, and for which he was awarded the first premium at the Vermont and New England Fairs for 1864 and 1865. Many have tried to compete with him, but are unable to produce a superior article. Mr. Smith is one of the leading member of the Congregational Church. The twenty-fifth anniversary of his marriage, was celebrated with a Silver Wedding. Jan. 28th, 1870, being the first one of the kind which ever took place here. They have but three children now living : Daniel C. Augustus N. and Charity. Daniel C. m. Lois, da. of Henry Wilbar, and has one son, Alvin, who makes the sixth generation of the family now living upon the homestead.
