How varied the eniotloni of the human mind wlierflitewteaexpreHiedIn ao lew words becomes aTOislble reality, and to a reflective mind how forcibly does the thought of a new era In the history of time react, and Instinctively as It were, set the busy mind io work te retrace the years that have fled and depart*) Into the baie of obscurity. How wonderfully active la the soul of man during these way-mnrkx or life, and sueb we may aptly call the exit and advent of passing and approaching seasons. All the prominent Incidents of past life are brought before the eye of tho imagination, while the minor scenes are mhre Iwdlsllnrtly viewed bv the partially obscured vision of tho soul. Tin ee other words are sadly sounding on our ear?, even as we greet tho advent of the ne-v year,—the old year. What it sense ol solemn awe thrilU oiirflouls when we realize ltn departure, when we whisper a sad farewell, forever, and chant a mournful requiem over Ils hoary head Is id low! We remember 'twas as bright and fair when 11m we greeted Us light a» the present year, and how our ardent wish was, that It might prove happy. On some It smiled, aad beauteous Mowers ofhappinees sprung up around them; their skies were fair, tlielr daya were days of joys and pleasure, and to'them the old vear brought only peace and delight. 0. would that all could have enjoyed Its fleeting pleasures! but alas, to others It was n season of nfllle- lion. sorrow, and death! How many bright hopes have we seen crushed, how many fond anticipations doomed lo bitter disappointment, how many strong hearts and brawny hands have been shorn of their strength .and stiffened lu tho embrace of death! how many ties of kin- dred, rendered doubly dear by long companionship have been torn asunder; and when the keen affliction of bereavement has been experienced, bow fast have fallen the tearB. and how frequently have been heard the sighs of grief stricken mourners since the past "new year." How many vows have been made and broken, bow many schemes formed and abandoned, how many striving between the spirits of Good nod Evil, and who shall tell tbe countless supplications breathed from sincere hearts to the Giver of every blessing; hew many wanderers have been reclaimed from paths of vice. and how many changes, in as many ways have been wrought during the old year. Truly, each season brings Its vicissitudes, and eacb yenr Its own variations.

On passing Irom the old to the new year, wo are reminded that we are surely progressing towards the limit of the journey of life. Each succeeding revolution of the great circle of time <wrrles "B nearer and nearer the dreaded goal of Human probation, until at last the final turn to us arrives, anil then we must bid adieu to life and time, and enter upon that existence which admits of no limita- tions. Nor months, nor years comprise Its vast domains, but all is Immeasurable Eternity? Hew awfully grand the conception, how overwhelming must be the lullnite reality!

To counterbalance the thoughts of the past, our hopeful souls enueavof to thread the labyrinths of futnrlty.and we traverse with ardent hope the coming scenes of the New Year; we picture to ourselves beautiful visions of happiness in store, and fresh pleasure we fondly covet for the new year. We talk of wealth and gain. and seem to think that soon (lie acme "i our desire will he realized; we boast of health, and desire to feel that the Invigor- ating Influences of the coming year may help that blessing to maintain Its sway. We talk of friends, and speak In terms of affection to those we love, desiring thnt all may still enjoy a share of our regards. and that those in whom we have confided miiy coutlnue worthy of our love throughout the coming year. In fact, wo long. we look, we deaire that joys as yet un- tested may be our portion through the advancing seasons. On the other hand we glancn with stealthy eye upon the pos- sibilities that may ensue, and simply give a hasty thought upon the dark and oft- recurring mls-haps whleh befall our way. Perhaps our path will be pleasant, and the sun ot peace Bhlne upon us; let me but wish that thus It may be. and let me but knew that my wish could be thy Dicta* Ing. then would I wish thee joy; l'-l wish that tho vernnl Spring may refresh Ihee. and its balmy Influence Impart the flush of health to thy cheek; that the first flowers of spring may bloom for thee and shed their fragrance lor thy delight; that ibe suubeams Boon may shlue upon thee with genial rays and light tbine onward path, and the sylvaa bowers shield Ihee from the sultry glare oft he noontide hour; that the air perfumed with imbroslal odors, and the leafy bowers with warblers notes resounding, may calm thee tollstless rest, or lull tbee to repose. I would wish that Autumn with Its mellow fruit and golden grain may gratify thy tastes, and the hues of the forest captivate thine eyes; that its stores of goodly things may enrich thee, and give thee sustenance nnd life. I would wish that winter wlih Its cold blasts, may whlBtle around thy home In vain, that Its sighing, and nioanlng-through the leafless trees may give thee keener relish for thine own fireside, and the crystal snows Hint old Winter so lavishly scatters all around, may not distress thee, but prove a source of comfort and Joy. and when all the Joys summed up herein shall have transpired, I would wish thee many succeeding seasons of parallel felicity, until at last, whet thy year of life shall have attained unto its winter, may thy soul's true state form a fair likeness of purity even as the win trr snow.

SATURDAY NIGHT. — Safurday night makes people human, sets their hearts te beating softly, as they used to do before the world turned them Into war drums and Jarred them to pieces with tattoos. The ledger closes wltn a clash, the iron- doored vaults come to with a bang, up go the shutters with a will, click goes the key In the lock. It Is Saturday ntght. and business breathes free again. Home- ward, hot The doer that has been ojuf all the week gently closes behind him. the world Is all shut out. Shut out? Shut In, rather. Here are his treasures after all. and not hi the vault, ami not in the book—save the record In the old family Bible—and not lu the baak. Maybe you are a bachelor, frosty and forty. Then, poor fellow. Saturday night Is nothing to you. just as you are iiothinir to any bod v. Get a wife, blue-eyed or black-eyed; but, above all, true-eyed. Get a little home—no matter how lltile— a sofa. Just to hold two or two and n t»:ilf. and then get tho two or two HIUI a luilf In It, of a Saturday night, and then rend this paragraph hy the light of your wife's eyes, and ihank (>od aud take courago. .

A GAME Of BLUFF.—We heard the other day a good "(loak" on one of the young "blooda" of this city who went down to the edge of the Arkansas on bun- loess. Willie down there he went to a party, and while at Hie party danced often, and became very familiar with one of (he settler's wives. Cackeusack stood il long as he ceuld, but finally becoming enraged he went up to the blood and says: "Look here. Mister, that Is my wife you are dancing with." "Well, what of Bf was the reply- "Why this: you dance with her again; you apeak to her; you even look at her again; and I'll blow the top of your head oil!'1 "Now, look here,'' said the blood, coolly; "do you BOO that umbrella setting tharf" "Well, 'spose I do!" "Well, you handle that umbrella, and I'll ram It down your throat, and FU spread it}" Rackensack •'snooted."— Port Sent Prtu.

Tun FOCB GATES OF HELL.—William Reynolds of Peerla Is well known ns an enthusiastic worker In the Sabbath Hchon) cause. He Is perhaps better known than any other man In tbe State, and we give the following story as he tells it. aa uenr as we can remember. He was In the Southern part of the state recently, organ- izing Sunday Schools, when he encountered a hard-shell Baptist neighbor hood. The minister settled over the little flock looked with jealou«y upon the movements of the new light, aad Anally announced his Intention of preaching a sermon against them. On the Sabbath designated, the Sunday school men gathered in force, when the preacher announced the well known text:

"Thou art Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it."

After giving Peter n good setting out, Ihe minister closed as follows: Id that peculiar singing tone that Is Indescribable, except lo those who have heard It:

•Yes. my brcthcring. all—an' tilt gates of hell SIIHII not prevnll agin it, nh. Now you would like to know nil nbont these ere gates ol hell, ah! Well, my brother- In, there air lour gates to hell, ah!

'That is ftistly. the Sunday Bchool system, ah. Thai there Is one gate to hell, nh, whnr they bring young men, and wluimcu together. HII, and under the Idee of teachin'on em Ihe Bible, they set em hnnkerln' after one another, ah, and so open wide that gate of hell, nh.

'An' tlic next gate o'hell. Is wuss'n the fust. nh. That tlinr Is Bible So-cMtles, ah, whnr they put the word Into the hands o'them as lialnt larnltt' sufficient ah, fur to understan* It, nh; an1 this here, bretherlng, Is one of the wust gates o'hell nh, which we read about In the Bible, ah.

'An the uext gate o'hell, my brether- ing. Is temperance societies, ah, whnr they go rite into yer house and bust Into yer rooms, ah, and try to dlskiver ef ye hav any thin' ah that Is good fur the stum- mlck's sake nh, and when they And It. they spill It out onto the grouu'ah, and let It run to waste, ab.

[Signs of dissatisfaction among his church members. Greatly excited, he continued:]

'Yes, bretherlng, they do, ah They are houn' to bust up all o' our bizness, an'—an' ah, thnrby they open another gate o'hell ah. Thero are the men that air. all. goin1 to come amongst us. and prevail nh agin the rock on which 1 will foun' my church, ah. Yes, bretberlng. ah, they sot out to do It, ah. an1 we must iine hguds. ah' an' war agin them, ah, that they she! not prevail, ah.

'An' the next gate o'hell, ah, my bretherlng, Is the republican party, ah. [Signs of applause from his auditors.] Yls, bretherlng, ah. the republikln party, ah, wot hez set all the niggers free, uh, ami turned'cm agin thar master*, all. again them ns put thar nmnev In 'em. nh. nit' liez chceted and robbed the south, ah. onten It's nateral rites, an' the gates o'hell shel not prevail again it, ah.'

Wo can give the preacher's tinme and address' if necessary. The party were toe much amused te take accurate uotea. But Mr. Reynolds himself will vouch for the truth of what wo have written. Truth is stranger than fiction.

THE TALK OK A SIIIKT.—Hcpry Clay P JNit.-the meat Waxtorn copperhead orator, has the reputation of being the filthi- est white man who ever addressed au audience. Ho seldom wears a clean shirt. How he got Ihe last two he ever were. Is pleasantly told by tho Wintersct (Iowa)

Years ngo. when Mr. Albert West was one of the leading Democrats of this county. Henry Clay Dean enme to WlnterBCt to make a Democratic speech. Mr. We«t, who has an unfaltering aversion to dirty shirts. Informed the Committee that Dean should not speak unless he put on a clean shirt. Demi wns ihe possessorof only one ot those useful articles, and that was on his back. Tho only remedy was to borrow, and Mr. West was the only Demo- crat whose physical proportions were sufficiently developed lo require n sblrt long enough to tit Dean. Henry Clay was accordingly ensconsed in the bank- er's "Anc linen." mnde his speech, and departed In triumph, hearing off a Ave- dollar shirt belonging to Mr. West. Tho shirt was never heard from until the fall of 1808, when Dean enme to Wintersct to make another speech.

That time he took up hU abode with our genial friend, George W. Seevcrs. Now. George has a cleanly desire to see folks look tidy, and Dean's shirt was an abomination in his eyes. He therefore suggested to the orator that be would do well to get on the Inside of a clean one before addrexsing tho people. Dean ac- quiesced In Ihe theory of the change, but lacked the clean garment necessary to put it in practice. George promptly tendered him one of his own. Dean accepted the offer, and made his speech arrayrd In George's bestuhlrt. Denn weighs about 300; George ICO. Dean has n large sur- plusage of abdomen; George is "bulll" as trim nsn racehorse. Tlieconncquencv (if this dissimilarity In SIZB made It Impos- sible for George's shirt to At Dean.li worn in the ordinary manner.

But the orator wns full of expedients. mill by putting on the shirt wrong end down and tall up he " made tho riffle "' astonished bis hide by bringing It In contact with clean linen, electrified the audience by the size of his shirt collar, and at the close of his address continued his travels to anol her point, taking our friend's shirt with him.

Mr. Denu left his soiled garment In the room. And when, preparatory to its being wasbed. It was carried out on a chip into tbe sunlight, there, on one corner ot its narrative, appeared the name—Albert West. Eleven 3'eara that shirt had abode on the back of the orator. The great rebellion, the total eclipse, the Pacific Rail- road, the election of three Presidents—all had passed away before our eloquent hero found time to change his shirt; and when (he great change was made, he kindly returned to the spot where he got his first clean shirt to Invest in his second one. ♦•■♦■o-cj ■

A MOHMON BHUTK. — Tho Mormons

have among them n man named Porter

Rockwell, who appears u> come as near

being a bruto ns It Is possible for one

gifted with Ihe powers of reason. HE

has gained notoriety as ono of Hie lead

ers orBrlghain Young's murderers. Tin

Cor In ne Reporter says of him:—

"At the meeting recently at Salt Lake City, at whleh Colfax s|ioke, tilts llend Rockwell was allowed t<> be present In a drunken condition, and permitted to in- terrupt the spetker hy BOW andlhen cry- ing out 'All wheat.' If It hud been a Gentile in a Mormnti miciliig, alas, poor GetitHe. good bye to you; but this Por- ter Rockwell was not molested. Not only so. but after Col tux bad finished this drunken (lend Rockwell wns put upon the stand lo Insult our nation's Vice President. During tha time this Rockwell occupied ihe stand and tried to speak, he must perforce boast of his murders, which was applnudcd by the Mor- mon thrung. 'I never killed anv one but needed killing.' says this. .Saint Rockwell. 'I never murdered any one that didn't need murdering. I never shot a person that didn't need shooting,' snya the flend, and these horrid confessions were applauded by that dehnscrl, licentious and blasphemous crowd of Mormon**"

That was a musical time In a Georgia family not long ago, when a mother and her two daughters each bore twins, ihe same day, under the Bame roof.

Aad now Tom's River has put In ita claim for the national cnpltol Bite. Hut Is whiskey abuudaut In that locality?

TIIK WALKS OS TUE COMMOM—We cordially endorse Mayor Uelvilt'l recommendation to the City Covcriuneiit, to make u beginning ol decent paths on our Common; three or four of the principal walks arc more general t bo rough fares than any street sidewalk, except Essex street, in Ibis city; they have been but shabby sflairs from tliollrst, and in moist weather, only quagmires; it Is unite useless to erect signs "keep off the grass walk on the paths," in tho present condition of affairs; the way, and the only way to keep people off the grass Is to make the puths a little better for walking than the grass, and we trust the City Council will make an appropriation for this purpose; 110 single Improvement will Insure ho many grntcful thanks as to put the Common paths Into good order with concrete.

I'AViNii ESSK\ tlTllKKT.—Wo trust our City mtlwra will think, not only once, but many limes, before endorsing Hie recommendation of Mnyor Melvlu'a >>>- uugurnl, lu favor of paving Essex sireel with stone; this thoroughfare ought, and must soon be paved, but Um experience ol every lending Clfy in the bind is against the use ol stone, the day of which has gone by forever, and it would be the sheerest folly and waste, lor Lawrence to begin putting #73,000 Into stono pave- ments, Which Is being everywhere discarded, and if the experience of Ifostou. Philadelphia, Chicago and the other leading cities, leaches anything, wo should be morally certain to tear up and replace with something belter, within hull a score of years.

It Is protty nearly decided that wood Is in be the paving material ol the present quarter century, but nothing is more Mire than thai stone has been tried and found wanting. And we hope our city government will Indulge in no such waste of Ihouaamls, as stone paving In- volves. Let ns have n short section ol wood pavement laid ai once, as an experiment, and perhaps also, a section of concrete, which is ns,.,I with splendid me. cess in Paris, and why not here, and give our ciil/ens a trial of its merits, and we are quite sure they would be a unit against the rough, uncomfortable, wear lug, noisy, ami every way dlsagreable for man and beast,—stone paving.

THK SXKKM AT TIIBSTATK 1'OI.ICK.—

Mayor Mclvin is evidently not of a forgiving spirit; two years ago, at the in- stigation of his benolnnan, Clark, Mr. Mclvin in his hnstu to " run a muck " against tbe State Constables, decidedly "put Ids foot in,"'by ordering his min- ions at tho Police Station to receive no more prisoners irom llio constabulary. but a visit from Maj. Jones, inviting bis attention to a little statute law on the subject, caused our doughty Mayor very considerably to haul in bis horns, ami apologize lor his interference; but ho lias not forgotten ids humiliation, und cannot let pass the occasion of his address, to vent his petty spite, by going outofhis way, Bgninstutstvuuililecunry, to slur the stale police; Slicp:iri< and Al. Clark are not such immaculate-bounties in public estimation, but that Ihu |K>ople will be quite willing to have them under thu "surveillance" uf even a " forubni police force!"

alter ihu society was formed or reorgan- ized to prepare themselves to give to the people of Lawrence and -vicinity, Haydn's -iihllnie oratorio ol the Creation, and re- hearsal* were commenced at once. The Old ol Mr. Curl /.crrului the leader ol ihe great Collceum chorus ol ten thousand, was obtained, and every week for ninny mouths thu members assembled at Ihe High .school Hall ami were taught uud drilled In every possible minuiiuc of Ihe compilation, fhe result of all ibis labor was given mi Wednesday evening, and the managers and llie Indies and gentlemen of Ihe chorus had good reason to be sulistb-d willi the re-ttlt of their efforts. The stage of the City Mall had been built out mi each *ide. . We suppose It Is useless lo agnbi reecomend that this extension should he permanent), and there wa- ample i-puco lor the two hundred lingers, the oiohertra, ihe solos, and the famous director, (tic alone requires considerable space.) The gas bad been carried along tbe back of the stage in a manner to throw light upon nil of those upon the scuts. The IloOrof tho ball uud the gallery were both full and there was sullleient evidence Hint our people were determined lo encourage the cultivation of music in their midst. The orchestra was composed of six gentlemen from the Qertnaiiln, Hand of llostou, and music such us they brought from (heir Instru- ments, our people seldom listen to at home.

The oratorio commenced with the rc- presentatlon ofehaos by the Instruments, which could only be understood by those who bad studied (be explanation ofthe piece, such as the very able and well written one of General Oliver lu Ihe American. The vocal portion opened With the recitative of the Angel Raphael, (bass), represented by Mr. M. W. Whit- ney. " In the beginning God created tbe Heaven and tbe Earth." Those who have ever listened lo Ibis gentleman can Imagine what tho effect would he. Ho Is the best in that department*of music who ever visited us.

The chorus of the angels followed, hi, " And the spirit v( Cod moved upon the face of the waters." Uriel, Mr. William Winch, a tenor of great promise, then gave a solo, descriptive of the creation, ol light and the terror of the evil spirits who Hy before the beams of day. A chorus depleted the ■•despairing, cursing rujto" attending their lull. The principle solos were supposed lo be sung hy angels, Qabrle) (soprano), Crlel (tenor), and Knpliiiel (bsis), and the choruses throughout were supposed to be siinsf by the angelic host.

The creation of the llrniiiincnt succeeded, of thunder,lightning, rain, hull, snow, tbe gathering of the waters, the appear anoeofdry land, the trees and plants, and la-ih ol the sun, 1110011 and stars. The description of this wus all in solos, Inler- Spersed, however, by choruses of angels, und amongst I hem were "The* marvellous work." solo accompanied by cliorus "And to the ethereal vaults resounds." " With verdure clad " a trio by Miss Houston and Messrs. Whitney and Which, was a very sweet and tender piece. The gem of (be whole oratorio was "The Heavens are telling the glory of God." " V oh level] isj-he glorious work" was another grand chorus considered* worthy lobe selected for the Coliseum Jubilee. The closing chorus "Sing the Lord ye voices nil." was well rendered but is uot considered by judges of music as cijual to some in other portions of Ihe oratorio. The soprano solos by Miss Julia Houston were liiiely given. The lady hns a rich pleasing and powerful voice, and her department was most satisfactorily sustained.

There was some idling inaccuracies by the solo singers, which however would not be delcelcd, except by one entirely familiar with the piece, but tbe chorus were as thoroughly prompt and accurate throughout, as it was possible lo be. Whether the affair was n pecuniary success or not with the heavy expense attending it. we are unable lo say. A better house could hardly have been expected, uud the loud applause which Jo I lowed the several pleees. showed that there was plenty present who appreciated Ihe inn* sic. though there were ilmibt Ic-s many who could not eitjii) ii m much us those who »ere liioillbir Mlih the siylc. and u-lio attended solely Irom it desire to en- coinage what liny knew to lie a good study in ihe in imiuiiiiy. am] from eurlos-

PlttlM AMI iKCtaDIABTSM. — About (I mirier past one o'clock Kridny night, a barrel of shuving* In a shed attached to UM residence of Mr. Jesse llauford, :»<> Spring street, was discovered to be on lire by iif of the neighbors who had been out to tho watch meeting, and who bad ■tot yet retired. The people were uroused, and the tire extinguished with a few buckets of water, but not before It bod communicated to tlm hide of ihe shed, which was somewhat cluu red. Tlm barrel was against the rear ol the structure and there were wide cracks between thu boards through which a lighted match might have been thrust, or Ihe Incendia- ry could have filtered the shed as tlie door was not locked. There was no general nlarni. Scarcely was this lire extinguished when an alarm was sounded from Box 4. Garden Street < 'liureli. ami it was found (lint a story and a half ham, though not used at "imh. on the alley in the rear "t the Atlantic Kngine Mouse, was on lire. The Allilitlc ttss taken to the corner of Newbury and Summer street", and us somi as po<llbte.

Tlie I'.-u-ille was |.n-t.'il at the corner of Jackson and Common streets, and the K*«es at Jack- sou and Harden. All did good service. The Thjer wns on hand in very good season, fiotn the Mouth Side, but it was not thought necessary to set ii at work. The tire burned very leisurely, a* there was no wind. About half of the bulldlnff was destroyed. It wus used by Mr. M. (i.

The building wu*lulled '>y Miss Care- Hue Smith, ami m{ thaiiriAl by Mr. Cur- rier. It Is damav.-d probably lo the uuionnt of 81"tW. The tire was undoubtedly the work of an Incendiary.

Tbe occurrence lias suggested the old petllieii of property holders in that Ideal- ity for water pipes through Newbury street, which would give tbeni so much additional safety. It also -hows the fact that llie telegraphta slnrni however good tn Indicate the totality ol the lire, Is entirely uiMiilldent lor the purpose of arous- ing the Iii emeu al night, and that nil of llie bells and especially the City Hull bell, should be rung by the night police In ud- dltlon, us before llw tire alarm was const rncted.

II ia not ca*y to deicribo In word* the delightful li.'.uiiy of Ids character, which made him more laarnod, more than pure, more Ihau upright faithful. There wa* an Individuality about rleb, genial, delicate and cultivated, which pervidcd all bla tboutfbla and action* arid gavo a pcculb .'li.iiiH to all aaioclillun with him.

E«ly Imbued with a lovo for claailcal etudl", under the Inlluence, 1* ho waa accuatomed to »ny tbo gentle and aci-ompllahed Buck ml utter, he became a profound and accurate elaaalcal icholar, but even hla crhleal knowledge of the Greek mid I.alln tonguea woe aurpasaod by hla lino appreciation of tho beat elaaalcal wrliera. Nothing could bi agreeable or Inatruetive Ihau to hear bbn point oul Ihe peculiar, delicate and poetical boauiy,eipre»« or implied, In a aiugle woid ol Uorucr or or Vrfgl I'll Imps hi* reading would not be called eiteunlve : a college profe**or, bul It waa accurate, thorough, and oft repealed. IIumer,*Virgll, Horace and Ihe Qreak tragic poet*, llerodotu*, Thucydldc*, I.lvy. Cicero and Tacitus, furmed the circle In which bu ■ an whh ever iucrcaalug pkaauro. With Mr. Durki be thought ilmt on lha whole, Virgil wa* the moa woodcrrul poet that ever wroie, and be cultivated l.i.1. accordingly. II.

He waa ei|ually aelect la Id* rending of Kn| literature.

With language aa felicltuua oi tbe word* of hi* great favorite*, ho could point out their cberactorlallca, ihelr eicellaucy, beauty ond power. In all 1 hla there waa 10 little of pretence Ihat thero waa hardly tho appearance of learning. All was ■weet, clear, aimple, natural. White all these writer* challenged bl* reipect and love, Edmund Bnrke tilled him with wonder and veneration, l'robabiy few men of hia day were 10 familiar with, and 10 well underatood, all ihe writing* of Mr. Burke.

Uul It mult not be auppoaed, bccauio be wu 10 devoted to tho great Ungliah eleailc*, that be neglected Ibe current literature ol more modern llmrs. ne knew all that waa paailng, and he read all that wa* worth reading, except pcrbapa the production* of nuvell.ia. lie wu eapeclally familiar wllh hla- terloal literature, and there aoemed to be nothing political, military or dlplomnlla lu Ihollve* 1.1 \.i],..- leon or of Wellington which be could not Stats, n plain and Illustrate al a mominl'l notice.

With these acquirement* aud powers, he wa* a mo*l aft 1'iiilve observer of men and mannora, and of pa**lng events. Nothing eiesped bla observation, howeeor Inattentive he leemeil al the time to be. With hla clear perception*, aud wllh hi* veneration far the good, the true, the beautiful and the noble, he of course aaw much that waa Mrdld, low, mlae and preianiloua. At tlmea fa* eould aapraaa hla In- dlgnaUon at oppression, injustice, vice, and Irrtll- glon, In worda of terrlblo energy, but he leldom or never scolfcd or *acered, or Indulged hi latin or aaroaira. Generally there came a alngle *eutence ofuualnt humor which touched tbu offencu through all lu dlaguUea, and ciposed ll In all lu deformity, abiurdlty aud folly.

During bl* long ond active life he hod met and known moat ot ihe prominent men ofthe profuaalon during bla time, from CWef Juitlco Parsona down lo Ibe latest leader* ofthe KMCX bar, and, with bl* bablti of otoio obiervallon, he had accumulated a fund of SBWStnf and Inatruetive anecdote. Nothing could be more apt than hi* quaint and cut loua de- lineation! of character ur Incident, in. wit and humor flowing In a gentle cuirent rarely excited bolsierou* merriment or laughter, but they gave in... to thoie Inward umullena and amllo* of aatla- facllon which ever accompany the highest Ptcaaurca of conversation.

, From what ho* been laid It wilt be easily Inferred thai ho loved contemplative art* and (port*; and ■uch was ibe fact. Ilu wa* a genial and akllful brother nf the angle, and ho loved to wander with hi* rod through green meadowa und bealde running watera. To couverao wllh him on auch Subjects, or, mill belter, to accompany him, Waa like reading a chapter oul of ihe " Complete Angler," or more like anting with Iiaak Walton blmiclf upon a shad- ed bank In June, white Ihe ilreara flowed by, (low- era aralled aad bird* aung.

To portray Iruly theie bl* aimple trail.and habll* and eapeclilly the eager leit with which, with ehoaen frlendi, ho Indulged lu a rubber of whlat, which, In hi* quaint way, be would call " a canoni- cal game," would require the nicest touehca of the pen oflhe " gentle Klla " And here It may be -aid, that bad ha and diaries Lamb familiarly known each other, It would be hard to lay which would

But what peculiarly distinguished him wai that manly *enti- ment and grace of life, that sensibility of principle and cbsitily cf honor which rsuied him to feelaatilu like a wound, and which made the bare inipielon of a fault In blmielf fall of pain and dlatren.

Ur. Merrill accepted Chrlillanily wllh hi* whole heart, and hi* faith win childlike, Arm and trusting, l,ui he would eutrr Into no dlKuialon concerning it, He would hiten lo no conlenlloui doubt* or cavils. Ho uied lo say that acllglon WU tor the camion and eoaaolalion or man, and not lo be quarreled and wrangled over. Nur- tured In hi* )ou1h by upluui father intheboiom ofalsrueMew England family, andJna congregational parish, he ■ ally attended the Eplicopal Mrrlse, The devotional simplicity «n,l beauty of the prayer book seemed ever lo exert th* greatest Influence over him, audio excite Ihe iwceleitaod liveliest ■ million , of his ualure. He loved to dwell and enlargu upou the shnoal wonderful purlly of tho English ot Ita composition, and he would exclaim that almost the only llguru or mrlaphor In the whole hook was the sentence, " four upou il. - 1.1 the continual dew of Iby bleis- in-,;." Ashladevollon found expressluu In these simple and touching prayers, so beloved lo lilt up Ihe vuke of praise In those quaint aud grand old hymns and lunrs ol hi* lather*, and hi* whole

betokouert how humb!uuud sincere was lu- ■ i.blp.

Several of the religious societies have commenced tho "new year" with speoial meetings for prayer and conference, held every evening of the week, also in some cases In the altcrnoon ; the meetings are well nttended anil with an unusual degree of interest.

JI o N n noil i r.

The majority Of the Board of Aldermen carry their nolitlcul anUDOSltlet, literally, to the grave, by tuniiug out of office, for no other than political I'-.i-ou-, lliu Superintendent of Cemetery. Plunder, plunder, plunder; nothing it too .-,II i-i'il for party plunder with them ; no wonder that Mayor Melvin did not think It worth while to call upon any one to pray for them. They etin do their own preying, upon the dead, as well IH upon the living. / Will they alnn "Up In a balloon, boys, by and by?" anxiouily inquired a worthy but somewhat unappreclatlve auditor at the Orato- rio of the Creation Wednesday evening 'Ye»,' said the individual applied to, who was listen- in- with all hi- enra to the line combination uf sound produced by Ulii Houston and Mr. Whitney, "only be patient and they will have that, Cbampairne Charlie, and Walking down Broadway." Just th-trilie chorus struck Ir at, some quick paiaau-es which the Inquirer took for "Johnny Scbmoker" and he was comforted.

Mayor Melvln did not anall the I'. 9. Post Office, anil the ansetiort, and collectors, in hi* message, though they were "foreign Institu- tions" quartered upon the people, and not tin- der I he control of llie Mayor and Aldermen. There were Borne people at the south who had something to bav about their government being n " foreign " power, once.

The records of the City Clerk show the sta- llMlcal coincidence, that exactly the same unm- ln'i of men na women have been married the past year.

The Catholic clergy of New York, sent a fish made of the purest gold to the Pope. A flsh was formerly a favorite emblem of Chnit and thechnrch. Kev. Mr. FaltHeld explained tho Hebrew signification of tho letters, very prettily in the last White lecture.

The New Year's Ball was kept up until "Along the Eastern aky

A Ughtfoot herald ran, Telling another day wa* nigh;

Another night waa done." Another cheerful Sunday, rain pouring down

all day, perhaps a few buckets more a minute than n week before, and keeping up tbe lick all day. What lilt about the laator first Sunday of the month governing several others? If there U any truth In this, tho churchsi could be closed lo advantage, and the clergy take a va-

lon for a few weeks. There are not many whose piety is waterproof against such an on- slaught as the first day of this week. Who wants to go lo meeting in rubber coats aud boots? Umbrellas were nowhere, and Fills should have had a rushing mending business the next day. While tho windows of the heavens were opened to their widest capacity at one iinn- during the day, it was enough to cause a oreful pcrKon locmlmute the altitude ofTower,

Prospect, and Clover hills, in case of a Hood, or to figure whether there was net some respectable old Noah.wherc one could obtain board lor, say forty days. Our/tond'ny population should fed nitlicr in homo than otherwise In an ark. It was small consolation to the dripping people who'were compelled to ho out, to remind th.-m hat It wax only a shower, just to lay tho dust.

It is one of thowondern of the season that no such moving real estate has been seen here for two or three weeks on the stretch.

A strange appearance in tbe heavens about three o'clock Sunday night Is talked of. Two large balls of red fire, and at about five, a general redness in the skies.

Who ts this 'ere Shepherd ?" was tbe general inquiry Monday. Mr Shephartt Is a gentleman from Maine, who unfortunately did not arrive In Massachusetts in season to vote at the last election, hut would have doubtless have gona the democratic ticket bad he been a citizen of Lawrence at the time. It Is all right.

The Indignation meetings of the two hundred and tblrty.four disappointed candidates, were held in squads and at corners, Monday afternoon. It Is feared that many of them were entirely oblivious of the existence of the third commandment. Those of them that who declare that they won't stand It must lit down.

The gentleman from Maine" Is tbe appella- tion «f tho now City Marshal.

We aro pleased to learn that Oapt. Simon Blakelin has been appointed to a situation at tbe Jail and House of Correction. He Is a careful and experienced officer,and will be valuable In that position. Mr. Blakelin was confined for a long time at AndenonvlUe by the rebels, and brought very near to death's door by starvation by them. This alone would be sufficient to forbid hli appointment on a demo, oratlc police.

In our notice of the Soldier's Fair we entirely forgot one Important Item, from amlsappre- henilon of tbe facts, Tho chaste and elegant trimming and dressing of the City Hall was accomplished by Messrs. Lamprey & Marble of Boston, the most tasteful hall dressers In that buslneis. They are tho same gentlemen who decorated the Coliseum.

Will the Sheriff" oblige Mayor Mulvin by removing himself, Briggs, Currier, and others of a "foreign police " which the county "has chosen to quarter among, us'" He evidently don't want to havo the survoilanco of "any sicb." His Honor "having full confidence In the disposition and ability of the citizens of Lawrence lo manage tbelr local police affairs satisfactorily," mints " that our citizens will be speedily relieved from this annoying espionage by a police not controlled by or responsible to them," As the Houso of Correction also Is not conirolled by the democratic Mayor and the democraUc Aldermon, supposing the Sberlft* takes tbat along also. Thnt is very "annoying "to aome people.

Z. T. Merrill, of this city, aud Mr. Church, are soon going into the cigar and tobacco business, corner of Suduiiry and Pertland streets, Boston, a block or two from the Maine depot.

Tho White lecture tlcketa will bo distributed on Saturday afternoon, at 2 o'clock, at the City Hall. The fourth lecture will he delivered on Wednesday evening or next week, by Bev. Mr, Ilepwortli, of Now York, late of Boston.

Information for the benefit of a city official, a new comer In town. Essex street runs generally oast and west. Tbe streets par- alell with It or nearly so, are Canal, Methuen, Common, Havcrhlll, Oak, &c, and those at right angles. Union, Ncwbury, Jackson, Appleton, Pemhcrtoo, Lawrence, Amesbury, Hampshire, Franklin, Broadway, 4c. The Common Is an oblong'picce of ground containing about seventeen acres, bounded by Common, Lawrence, Jackson and Haverhill streets. The City Hall Is a building of a doubtful nyle of architecture with the front door, facetiously so called, and which Is never used, on (be side of the house. Tim door may be Identified by a hand each side with a ball In It, as If aome was preparing to bowl down oometblng. Fort Saagter purbapa. The hall la on the earner of Common and Ap- pleton streets. On the other comer is the Court llntiKo, a handsome edifice, surmounted by a pair of scales emblematic of the jnitice which litigants r-xpect to get Inside. The depot Is at the west end of Essex street and tbe Jail at the northwest corner of the city. Tbe mills are along the river bank. For further information see directory. Nothing like being civil lo stranger*.

Those of the school committee who were designated on Tuesday night especially for tbe "Training " School, are not necessarily military men.

McFarlin says that be has sent bis ice crop down to Newburyport to get aaftedi he has a very comfortable supply (aomf'ortable in Au- gust,) boused, however.

There Is no truth In the rumor that the big ox that weighed 2660 pounds, is to be saved for a dinner for the Boston stockholder, who, at the last railroad meeting here, complained that he could not get anything to cat In Lawrence. The ox has been cut up, and dressed 2170 Jin. One hind quarter weighed 453 pounds; the fat averages about thrco Inches. Kastmsn & Buell arc selling the meat.

The vote [or Clerk of the Council, is incor- rectly printed on the outside. It should read B. B. Osgood 12, II- N. Butsaaa U.

Frank Leslie's pictorial has an extra plate representing a cosy party on the roof of a railroad car on the way across the plains to Cali- fornia. There Is a railing around tbe roof and the whole resembles the upper deck ef a steamer.

The street lantern at tbe earner of Essex and Appleton streets Is neatly lettered; On or side Is "Appleton," and the oihsr" Essex Such an arrangement is a ureat help to strangers, especially tn the night time.

If tbe City Hall Is altered as proposed, about dunble tbe number of people can listen to tbe While lectures that can now be accomodatcd.

It Is said that there will be a' female stage dancer here shortly. " Shortly " refers to her costume also.

NEW lNVLNrii>Nn.~Lii the older countries ol Kurope, where labor Is cheap, the Inventive fac- ulties are not stimulated to tbe extent so common In the United Stales. Wherever civilisation extends, American ingenuity is recognised as leading that of all other nations ia tbe number and value or Its labor saving appliances.

The three greet triumphs of tbe Electric Tele - icraph, the Lightning Press, and the Sewing Machine, arc bat shining stars In the constellation of useful inventions that enelrcle our republic.

With a weekly list of applications for new patents that Is numbered by hundreds, II Is a matter of importance to the Ingenious inventor that he should place his business In the bands ol a solicitor wbo Is not only wets versed In the present details of the Patent Offlce, bat be should seek one who Is cm fail concerning the multifa- rious letters patent heretofore granted, and whose aueoess in difficult cases In the past Is a guarantee of a favorable result when doubtful points are at l(«ue,

Ihe card of It, If, Knuv, K.ij., Boston, In our columns lo-dsy, is that of one of the most sue- cenful solicitors of American and Foreign patents; and his long experience In this line, aalde from his connection with the Patent Ufllce, renders linn amply competent to furnish all needed In- formation, while his chsrscter lor business integrity Is too well established to need comment

Dllly—otherwise Miss Amelia Turner— waa the orphan niece of Miss Penelope Turner, a dear, tweet old maul, who overflowed with love and charity for everybody, and called each Individual thief and rascal lti the neighborhood " poor fellow!" always Insisting thai. If it were not for some- opposing circum- stance, he would be it most worthy person. Of course she doted on Duly, and saw In the pretty young creature nil the charms and virtues under the sun. Un- doubtedly Dllly was loveable;' she was bright, good tempered, and very winning ; but she had one failing—she was a most thorough coquette. A cynical per- •nii um.- i-.no.iu-1-nti of iitr that she would have coquetted wliu irei «i«at KfWHF father. If no one else could be got, just to keep her hand In. But as this cynic- was one of those with whom Pllly would HO*

coquet, his severe Judgment might be classed with those coming under the term ' sour grapes.' But be It understood that, though Dllly had a wonderful amount of knowledge In the art ol using eyes, smiles, pouts and wiles, she used It without any bad Intent; (or. though as subtle as a serpent In coquettish ways,

was as innocent-hearted as a child— or Aunt Pen,

Dllly could not remember either the father or tho mother whose hearts had clung fondly together In life, and now rested side by side In far distant India- Brother and sister she never had; but when the little creature was brought to Miss Penelope by her faithful nurse Susan, under tho care of an old friend of her father. Aunt Pen took her to her warm heart (root that time forth.

All the little boys with whom Dllly came la contact suffered more or less from her bewitchments. Many were Ihe offerings laid at her nhrlno; and Susan, who remained with them, had often to put a positive veto upon pet squirrels, tame mice, and various choice specimens of animated nature. Aunt Pen would have allowed the house to bo over-run with them; but, fortunately for her, Susan possessed more lorco of oharacler. and, though loving Dllly dearly, could make a stand at these times. She was, In fsot, the ruling po-ver In the house, and Jenny, the muld-of-all work, looked up to her as a superior being.

Among Dllly'* youthful captives was one dark-eyed little fellow, who remained faithful through all the upa and downs of childish love. Others withdrew, or quarreled, or formed violent attachments In other quarrels; but he never changed; and so. when she was seventeen and ho twenty. Stephen Wliltutore loved her even as her father had loved her mother. But the lime had not yet come for her to either value or understand this love. Therefore, when Stephen came to her one day. blushing and trembling like a girl to tell her that It was decided that he was to go out West with his uncle to remain a year, and would she—could

Dllly looked in Ids face with laughing eyes, and asked, would she—could she— what?

And when Stephen stammered out something, so very much confused, that no one but a coquette could hate understood, she replied that she neither would nor could. Whereupon Stephen turned and left her without another word, but with a look In his dark eyes that haunted ber for days. But the night before Ste- phen left he drew Dllly out under the old chegtnut trees and repeated the question more steadily and without stammering. Her heart thrilled a little at his earnest tone, but she refused him, Baying, sweetly that she would miss him much as a dear friend; upon which Stephen started aside aa though stung; then catching her hand he pressed it to his breast, and with a broken'Good-bye, Dllly!" disappeared from her tight. ... ,

Aunt Pen was dozing In toe parlor when poor Stephen roused her. To her amazement she found herself clasped In a pair of stout young arms and warmly pressed to a throbbing heart. In a second more she was most tenderly kWs- ed. and felt tw« tears drop onherchecke; and alien, before the words, 'tiood MO, dear, dear Miss Pen!' had ceased to

md In her ears, she was once more alone. ■ „

Stephen did not return In a year's time; his parents never failed to receive letters from him each week, ami innny a token of fond remembrance was sent them; but he remained away till three years had passed, aud then he came. As far as outward appearance went, lie w»s a very dlftereut Stephen from the blushing, awkward boy that left them; he was now a tall, well-developed man. with a faco that had force and character \a every line, and yet with a certain touch of ten- derness about the mouth and a kindly gleam In the eyes that won the liking and good will of these he looked on. But If his feelings for Dllly were the same,

M-Hltroai Oxlda he concealed them so well that, although Ua* Admiaiiured. (hey were often together, the little co-

-■■ ranirr Phlla. Deatnl College quette could not discover whether he still NewKo.SSS Ease* St., <oid No. HI.) ' loved her »r not. I am a.rry to say that

the three year* ll1"' ll0t altered Dllly In respect to coquetting—in fact, she In- dulged In i! more than ever, and of course was r\ preater protictent In the art; she was prettier loo, anil thur without losing her charming air of freshness.

After Stephen had been home about n month, a new actor appeared upon the scene. This was a young Cuban, whose mother waa an American. She had some. Muslus In ihe neighborhood, sod re- ■ested her son to make them a visit. Sebastian Torredos was at once an ob-

ject of Interest to all the young ladles— and gentlemen, too, though not for the same reason. To be aure. the young ladlea would have liked It better had he spoken broken English; but. unfortunately, having passed the irreaier part of his boyhood In the United States, he spoke the language like a native. Still he looked very Spanish, and us he could speak that language also llko a native, matters were quite satisfactory. He and Dllly met on equal ground, lor both were accomplished hi the same game of skill, and neither was In danger of being In- jured.

Stephen still made no sign, and poor Dllly experienced a heart felt anxiety because lie did not, before she wns In the least aware that she entertained such a feeling- To drive It away, she flirted with the Cuban, for that reason and ulso with nu unacknowledged desire to sting Stephen. If ho cared enough for her to be stung. Each day she grew more anxious t« And some mark of Interest, and each day was as rar from discovering it as ever. In the midst of it all. Stephen was obliged to be absent for several days on some matters of business, and In his absence Dllly found herself growing tear- fully tired of Don Sebastian Torredos. One alternoon she set out on a long walk and staid till dusk, lest he might lounge in his usual listless way and spend hours with Iter.

Before site returned Jenny came trotting In Irom liiu village. -Here. Mrs. Susan.* said she. ' la a letter for Miss Amelia/

'Put It on Ihe mantel In the dining- room,,' answered Susan.

Now there was a peculiarity about the mantel piece; a mirror stretched along It, leaving a small space unoccupied at each end, on which It was well enough to place letters; but behind this mirror lurked a crack Into which. If nu article slipped. It disappeared as completely as though It hud gone Into a crevasse on Mount Blanc. Jenny knew of the crack, of course and placed the letter by the side of the mirror; but when DIUy came in. knowing nothing of it, she laid some wild flowers sho had gathered in the same place, and, hi doing so, pushed the letter a little too far, and down it went. She heard It. and began to inquire Into the matter, but when Susan told her, said Indifferently:

'It Is no matter; the letter must he from Mary Wilcox, who Is in New York ; she always writes n lot of rubbish. I know It is from her, for she said she would scud me an account of a party that was to come off this week.'

The next day Stephen returned from hla journey, n«d the same evening met nniy «u * little gathering. She- wua rather puzzled by a look In his dark eyes —a luok u wtiiuti, u aplte or himself, there waa occasionally mingled a glance of tender.,one. TBW lunjr ».«»—* ■>—., to more active flirting with the Cuban. She knew Stephen disliked him. and when she saw his troubled gaze she assumed a confidential air which her companion in- stantly caught up.

Toward the close of the evening, Dllly was seated by an open window, the Cuban by her, and Stephen standing opposite. The conversation turned upon letters.

I received one yesterday,' said Dllly

in'i- senses, but hoping the derangement wfti temporary she repeated her promise in a quivering voice, and asked Dltly to share her bed—an offer that was accepted. Miss Penelope was fully resolved to keep a diligent watch all night; but before she had the least idea of doing such a thing dropped sound asleep, and when ahe nwokc In the morning found that ahe alone occupied the bed. Before she had time to rise, Dllly entered the room, calm and serene, though a certain auxlety lurked In her eyes. Aunt Pen wisely thought ahe would not allude te the subject of the mantel-piece, trusting that Dllly had been dtearning; but ahe waa at once reminded of her promise, and saw she was to be strict** held to It. In. vain did she question Wily as to her reason. At last Miss Penn said:

'Dllly, mvdear. It Is out of (he question to pulldown the wall In that manner without saying why. What do you suppose that Susan and every body else WOUld lllillk'''

Dllly surveyed her aunt thoughtfully. ' That Is very true,' she replied and left

the room. While Miss Penelope was still congrat-

ulating herself upon her success. Dllly returned.

' It's nil riglit now. Aunt Pen.' she said: ' 1 have slipped your great-irrand- father'g sliver watch down the crack, aud that is reason enough.'

For once In her life, Aunt Pen was In- dignant.

■ Amelia!' she cried, ' how dare you do snob a thing as that?'

Dllly threw her arms around her aunt's neck and pressed her soft cheek to here. ' Dear Aunt Pen,' she murmured, in ca- ressing tones, 'you know you said you rnuaf have n reason, and you promised me ihe mantel-piece should be taken down; you would'nt wish to breHk your promise to your own little Dllly who loves you so*'

Miss Penelope endeavored to be firm and remain Indignant, for the Insult to the treasured heir-loom was not to be patiently submitted lo: but It was of no use, and she Anally yielded, as she always did.

Miss Amelia coollv Informed Susan that she hud dropped the watch down ihe crack; and although Susan listened with up-raised hands and eyes, sho declared she waB not in the least astonished; Miss Dllly would do mischief, she supposed, to the end of her days.

Dilly had taken the precaution to drop In a few old advertisements; so when the chiinnev-plcco was taken down, and while Mbs Penelope and Susan were anx- iously examining the watch, sho secured the precious letter among the advertisements, and no one noticed It. When ilium; in lief tooiM slm carefully fastened the door, and then sat breathlessly gazing at the Important document for several moments bffore daring to open It. But when she did, and read In it how deeply Stephen ioved her, how she was the only woman in lite world to lilm. her heart stood still for very rapture, she was conscious of hutono (bought, and that filled her to the exclusion of nil others—Ste- phen loved her.

After a time she read the letter more attentively, lor at tlratlbe words swam In a golden light, very beautlfat but very bewildering; and then ahe found that be requested her, It her answer was unfa-

upon the subject "words'would*. MHK bo unendurable; If she could not accept his love, let him know It by utter silence, and In silence he would endeavor to bear It. Then site saw how he must have misun- derstood her jesting words that night, and her heart sank down from Its height of Joy when she reflected with what contempt he must have looked upon her when he imagined that she made a mookery of his love, and Intended telling the Cuban

subject—at least to not answer It. for a very good reason.

And what Is that, pray?' asked the Cu- ban.

' Perhaps I will tell you to-morrow, when you bring that sea-view you spoke o( showing me," returned she. with the confidential air that was Intended to dis- tract Stephen; but on giving him a side glance she shivered at the change In IIIB countenance. So oold, so dark and stern was his expression, that her heart sank within her, and as sheturned her head to see him more hilly, he leaned forward, and fixing on her a look of contempt, said slowly:

' You speak of pictures—do you remember the eno we were looking at last week, and the words underneath it, -Love desecrated dies?'

• Then he turned from her and addressed a gay remark te a young lady near him.

Dllly saw him ne more till the fellow- lug week; but she heard in tho meantime that, much to the regret of his parents, he had decided not to remain at home, but again to go West. When she did see him it was but for a moment, and with others around them; the clasp af his hand was loose and careless, the look he gave aa he bid her good bye, one of quiet indlf- ference.

Stephen wont, and Dilly, spite cf her best efforts, drooped. Some persons at- tributed this to the departure of the Cuban who made his adieux at this time. He favored Dllly with a complimentary speech and a very tender pressure ef her hand; he would have kissed It In French fashion, but she, fast losing her coquettish ways, restrained him by a look.

The months passed on. and Dllly grew quiet and thoughtful. Much she pon- dered on tho expression of Stephen's countenance, but tho only cause she could find was her lllrllug with the Cuban. One night she sat musing, just before going to bed. On Ihe table by which she sat lay a little book In which Stephen, when ho first returned, had wrllten her name at her request. He wrote a peculiar hand, one that would at once attract attention. While thus sitting, Jenny came In to consult her on the color of n dress she had purchased that doy. Standing bv the table, her eyes fell on the writing In tho book. ,

' Land's sakes!' she exclaimed; 'that is for nil the world the same writing that was on your letter, Miss Dllly, that slid down the crack.'

Dllly turned pate. 'Are you sure, Jenny?'she asked, quietly, but with a great effort.

* Yes.* replied Jenny, taking up the book. •! was inoklng nt tho way the A and T were made as I brought tho letter nlong. and these arc made lust the seine,

' Perhaps they are.' said Dilly. and then turning to the dress, drew Jenny's atteti.

hla love, perhaps, had passed from her forever, but his respect she would not lose: he should know that ahe was no dishonorable flirt; he should give here place In his esteem, if not In his affections. She snatched up pen and paper, and dashed off a few hasty lines, telling him bow the letter was lost, and that If had just then been discovered by the taking down of the chimney-piece; that when It fell Into the crack she auppoaed It wa* from a friend In New York on the eub- Ject of a party; and that her Idle words applied to that. She never mentioned love, but told him ahe could not bear M

forfeit the esteem ol so dear a friend. Then, trembling with excitement, she hurried to the village and mailed her letter; after that she sought a secret uook deep in the woods, to which she some- times resorted, aud, lying ou the soft crisp leaves, wept ns though her heart would break. Doubu aelied her—had she dene something bold and unwoman- ly? She could not tell, all was In a maxe; and finally, sick at heart, and In body too. from lengthened weeping, she dragged herself home, and waa in bed two days, during which tlino Miss Pen- elope, Susan and Jenny stole up and down stairs and about the house like frightened mice, and In a state of great anxiety. Misa Penelope waa firmly convinced that Dilly waa going Into a brain fever, and that the pulling down of the chlmney-pleco waa the first gyuiploin of it. Of course ahe sent with all speed for the doctor, who Indignantly informed tin' anxious aunt that he considered It rather nn attack of irritability than anything else; Dilly having received him very ungraciously, flatly telling him that sho would not swallow one atom of his nasty, useless, poisonous desea. Being •f a positive nature, she did not, and In a few days emerged from her room, looking much aa usual, though a shade paler.

Suspense is hard to bear, and so Dllly found It; but she also made another discovery, aud that was that she loved Ste- phen more and more each day, and that this love had struck ita roots so deeply In her heart that poor coquetry had withered aud died for waut of room and mels- ture.

Stephen had asked for silence in case Dilly had no love to give him I but when. In answer to her letter, he arrived, determined lo make one mare effort, ho waa not only satisfied with Dllly's alienee, but thought It more speaking than a thousand words. Fer when ho stood before her, and she started tin. shy. trembling, pale, he saw In her swiftly tailing glance the look his heart thirsted for. and when he opened hla longing arms, Dllly answered him by simply nestling In them, and holding her face upon his faithful brensl.

Tn tome of your homes I have been called, when death wa* there, taking away a loved member of your family, and I have touuht to comfort yon with the consolations of religion. It has been my privilege to direct many of you to the Saviour, and when, through repentance, yon had submitted to Him, to load you in obedience, irivlng Instruction; when your hearts were despondent offering encouragement; when you faltered en- treating you to press forward, and uniting with you in efforts to lead others In the same divine way- The remembrance or alt this I* the ground, of an attachment akin to that In the family; to leave you will wn to me like leaving my huine, and my leave-tsklna will seem as from brother* and sister*.

It would be a pleasure for me to spend my life with thts church. I should have no higher ambition than to bo a laborer with you,

Again, I do not resign because I think that you have become weary of me, I know that some churches receive a minister aa a child does a toy, wlih many expression* of delight, and afterwards cast him rudelr aside; but you have shown no such fickleness.

I will now give you my reasons, and will endeavor to do so In Christian frankness: For some time, I have bad a growing conviction that in my Idea* of Christian doctrine and polfty I was not In rail sympathy with the Free Will Baptist denomination. I have considered Ihe subject long and carefully, and my conviction* have been gradually confirmed. I havo delayed somewhat to announce the fact because of my attachment to this church, but I now (eel that Christian Integrity require* that I declare to you my convictions, and In doing so I could not do otherwise than to resign my pastorate.

It is not often that lbs clUzeae of any of our inland towns secure ao much real and elevating pleasure aa waa afforded to the visitors of tha "Art Gallery," In connection with the recent Soldier*' Fair held lu our city. Few dtlee, with a population of leas than thirty thousand, and whose history Is ao abort, with ao limited a number of persons claiming or accredited with, special wealth, can furnish a collection or pictures, or would do so gratuitously, combining more real attraction and positive merit. More than twelve hundred visitor* were tans grati- flod. aad will long reaaooaber lha plea*ore which they gained. " A thing of beauty la a Joy forever;" and hen were many such things ef sweeny. h

OU palming*, originals ud choice cop***; palntlnga In water colors; specimens ef chrouio lithography, with a few excellent photographs, of large site, made the collection to exceed one hundred works of art. A raw work* of the sculptor in marble, with one of our Rogers, In clay,all of true merit, completed the catalogue.

We learned that there could be found among trewadUxena Individuals whose taste andcul

ture enabled them to put upon canvas the work of their own bauds, which were, by no means, destitute of real merit. Those of us who have been privileged to *M the original works of the

great masters," found a few superior copies of those work* which made as thirst for more, and for Ihe originals themselves.

Tho abundant, cheerful, and on the whole, Judicious lighting of the exhibition room, which, itself. Is of fine architectural proportion*, gave a glow to tho palntlnga, and made every one who visited the room feel at ease, and joyous, aa If they bad found a true olytium.

Many a good painting baa been rejected because of the failure to judiciously bring out lu merits by proper natural or artificial light. This was Illustrated In the Impeasslblllty of se- curing the successful concentration of light upon ths largest painting la the room. " The Gorge of the Kbono," by our countryman, 8.L. Gerry, wax not appreciated because Ita conception and elaborate working could not be discovered with any concentration of ihe light which ibe arrangement could afford; while If It could have been la a gallery, prepared for the purpose, Its real merit weald have been seen. A few other paintings suffered lu like manner, but they were the exception*.

The prevailing taste of the people of this conn- try favors landscapes rather than other paintings. It is easier for European dealer* to sell landscapes to their American visitors than to any other clasa. Still th* dispoilton of American travellers In Italy, and other European countries, to buy Inferior copies of good paintings, a* well as of marvellous strange subjects, la well known, and our country abounds with them. Carefully painted copies, made with tbe original before ihe artist, Instead of being copied from copies, which may themselves be very poor, are ol the greatest value to those who moat ftay at home, The "Beatrice Cencl" of Guide, which Is In the Barberini Palace at Rome, la a moat common subject for copying, while It la one of the moat difficult of all paintings to copy well, If indeed It was over done. Hot •xosed- Ing ten copies), could bo made In a freer, walk Many more are sold, proving that they codliJ not hare been taken from the original.

la this collection, gathered from our cltlaens, the taste for portraits, or for a combination of human figures, Is shown to be the prevalent onev *

The painting of the most real merit among the portraits waa, doubtless, the evidently ex. cellent copy of Lorenso Lotto's " Three Agea of man," wrongly credited to the I'fflxl Palace, Florence, Italy, for It I* one of the treasures of the Pitti Palace, the royal residence of King Victor Emmanuel In that dty.

The two portraits representing the bead* of ouo of our most re* pec tod famllle* were freely and justly commended. The little painting of four children by J. G. Brown, would ba an ornament to any residence.

"The Fortune Toller," by Wateau, If toe old to please the fancy of most persons, gives proof of hla power to delineate character, which Is what we desire to see In a painting.

The copy of the " Roman Heed," may hare been taken from the walls of any of the palace* of Rome, aa such ace very abundant there, and shows to us the character of a great portion of the collection* of these galleries. The paintings which are of real worth are very raw In number.

" The Head of our Saviour," painted on por- celain, a copy ofGuldo Real, the most celebrated paluier of ibis class of subjects, Is a gem, but almost too small to secure for Itself lha notice it merited. It secure* le ns ths man-

nee* which we ascribe to the Son of Han, while It indicate* tho sensibility to pain of a woman. In broad contrast wlih this la Ihe painting, In life also, of Ibe " Youthful Saviour, after Guldo," which gives us no Idea of the Man of Sorrows. Wa may query whether thla Is not a copy of the head ef the Apostle John, found In the Cental Palace, Rome.

The group of figures representing Abraham sending forth Hagar and labinael, Is a copy of the same, on wood, which Is one of the most celebrated paintings In the celebrated Royal Gal- lery at Dresden. If defective anatomically, as in the right arm of lahmaal. In color, aad in the exhibition of tha human form In relief, It Is a truly beaustful work of art. The large por- celain pictures added much attraction to the collection.

The paintings of animals, some of which specially attracted us, as wail as the trait piece*, see views, and other subjects ef painting, and tha beautiful specimens of sculpture,—(he me- dallions by Miss Foley, the portrait bust of young Connelly, and tho " Mountain Maid,"— helped to give us the fell enjoyment which waa so general; but space will not allow more par tleular notice of tbem.

The exhibition waa certainly much superior to those which we kave visited elsewhere of llko character, aad no one left the room dissatisfied, while many lingered by ths hour.

The large photograph, an excellent copy, of tba Station Madonna, of Dresden, Raphael' greatest work, and believed by moat critics to bo the finest palming In lha world, gave us some conception of the power ef the artist to palnl a human-face which I* unlike ear one that we ever saw, and a* nearly heavenly as we can conceive.

We may en- quire whether the wonderful heavonllneas, or almost super-humanity of Raphael's races In his picture* of the Virgin Mary, gave origin to the doctrine of lb* Immaculate Conception, and whether Paasaglla, the historian of this dogma, found bis proof rather in the paintings of the church, than in lha writings of tho Father*.

Money given for educational purpose* has come to he considered one of the things oaatn- tlal to the Buccesa af free government. Hence no good cltiren objects to pay tha heavy taxes necessary for the support of free schools, although ha may have no children or his own to educate. The city government haa pursued a wise course In making appropriations to sustain the free evening school, thus meeting the want* of a class whose occupations compel them to forego the advantage* of a day school. But there Is still a large Haas who have already acquired a fair education, and whose occupations give them several hour* leisure each day, bnt whose home accomotlatlons In the crowded boarding houses afforded them ne means of passing these hours, either pleasantly or profitably le themselves. Tba street, the billiard (able and the drinking saloon with all their accompanying temptations, are the only alternative offered them by a chriitlan public. To remedy thla state or thlnga the Y. M. C Association fer the last two years bava maintained al a large expanse, a free reading room open every evening (except Sun- day) till 91-3 o'clock, containing a large number of tbo standard periodicals ef the day, not only religion* but the literary and scientific alao, the object being the cultivation of the whole mass by furnishing an attractive place of reaort, In opposition to so many, ever open, tempting tho unoccupied to spend their ilme and money for that which brings only degra- dation.

success to their companions and give

tin in some of the results alter bnviug

been converted into cash, confectionery,

tobnocii or even rtilii, and their example

has II ruinous mural effect upon tlie

youth of their neighborhood.

It ia -A startling and by no menm

pleasant, rcflcctiou that in many instances

: In- .!■ young thieves have older porsons,

often parents, to direct nnd shield them,

nnd aid in concealing ami disjwsing of

tho plunder. The parents of these hoys

in some few Instances may bo strictly

honest people, but wo have yet to bear

of but n solitary case where the parents

have not sustained their offspring

hidden the ill gotten gains, from the

rightful owners and iho officers, nnd we

can only account for tho parents not be-

ing hold criminally responsible in such

cases, by tho difficulty of fastening tho

guilt squarely upon them, It is far

from pleasant to know that we lmvc in

our Community at least fifty boys who

will steal anything but a hot atove, nnd

half that number of heads of families

who aii- still liiniv guilty In encourag-

ing and protecting them in theft.

These criminals are often caught, but

nrc seldom punished to any extent; It

seems very hard and does not secure

tho desirable reformation, to send such

young subjects to tho llouso of Correc-

tion, us they arc apt to come out worse

than they went in though there are

grave doubts whether thai, evil is not a

lesser one than allowing them to associ-

ate with and contaminate other youth.

Tho idea of tlie police judge seems to

havo been, in every case, old and young,

from tlie beginning, that it is better to

risk tbo contamination and ruin of hun-

dreds for tho very improbable possibili-

ty of saving tho individual, that tho

moral illness of ono man, woman i

child, should bo inoculated into llio sy

tcm of all their neighbors tlmt the moral

health of tho whole might overpower it

Tlii -. might do wero it not that some-

times such disease is more powerful

than tbo most rugged health. Tho par-

ent is usually ou hand to beg oft tbo

hoy. They promise to send him to

Father Haskins' school in Boston, an

cellent institution, to Ids undo in Now

York, or to some other place, and the

or two plundering as before. Any

effort to send them to tho State Reform

School during minority requires to be

almost herculean, f*r tho parents fight

tho matter stoutly, ns they desire to

work their boys ns thoy would if thoy

were their horses or oxen, nnd receive

pay for tho use of tlieni until they

bventy-ono years of ago. If they go to

tho Reform School the stnto gets tho

benefit of their labor. They aro too of-

ten successful In such opposltiou. Until

some complete change is made in this

state of things wo can only repeat our

old enution to honsckeepcrs and others,

on leaving their rooms to hide their

valuables liable to be stolen, not in

bureau drawers, trunks, ami work

boxes, ihu first places examined by

thieves, but in those likely lo bo over

looked by them. This is their chief

safety, for locks are of little account.

Tut: WHITB LixTUHKS.—It may not occur to these who feel aggrieved at not being permitted to enjoy these free intellect- ual treats to the people, that on every evening upon which one Is given, there art' upwards of one hundred of the most comfortable seals entirely unoccupied. They are not perhaps the best for seeing the speaker, though far tbe best for hearing. We refer to those upon the rostrum. Co which we have full authority from the taauugers lo Invite any and all who may have no better position. But six or eight gentlemen usually accompany the lecturer to tho platform, and all of tbe balance of the large space U free to tlie public. Many perhaps would Teel at first somewhat uncomfortable In occupying so prominent a ponilloii. but If it became a trencral thing this would soon wear utr.

will be presented to the present session

of tho Legislature, for a charier for a

We have Juat been informed of it desperate though not fatal affulr, which happened recently at one of the well known, fiuhlonuhle board* ing bouses of oar city. It appear* that a ymniK uptl highly respectable np-town merchant went to his boartlint; house, and retired at his usual early hour, and after reposing In unconsclouHuess for a short time wan suddenly alarmed hy n hand ucini; placed upon his throat; supposing himself to lw immediately overpowered ho sprang upon his adversary, Uorc him to the floor, and with great force, deoll him a terrible blow with Ids Tool, The reaction from so violent a liluiv, brought our young' friend a little more tu his senses, nnd upon fully opening hi* eyes, what was his dismay to seo lying prostmte, ni the further end of tbo room, In aa unconscious stnu-, a large Itoekiug Chair. The mm tilt this occasioned had brought Ibe inmates of the house lo the scene of this midnight attack, and not a litilc were, they relieved when informed of the true state of affairs, and inutli imiiisciuetit wns enjoyed nt the expense of the hero. Fortunate- ly Ihu gentleman h not married, niid while we

condole with him for the entire loss of his great toe nail, and ihe aul and maimed condition with which he put in an appearance for tlie next few days, .-till wc cannot repress a

On Monday eveniig the counting room of Mr. Charles A. Ilrovn, at his wood yard on Jackson, between Essex tod Methuen streets, waa entered and ransacked. There was nothing to steal but a pa r of new boots belonging to Ur.

It Is believed thai they vero in there about ten o'clock, as the clock which had been meddled with, stopped at that flgurc.

Some one said on Monday evening that considering tho tone of tho recipient's paper, lately, it wan hardly probable that tho watch ho received, though a "light watch "as well ns day, was one of Mclvki's appointments.

Dealt Swift wrote the travels of Gulliver w the nccoimt of I.illiput, Broddfonag ami other wonders, as a satire. Mr. Ilepworth may havo Intended hi* BMf-riion coufeming Mnn- chausen as a Joke. If so, It was only nppar- rent to the few The many wero too obtuse to sou It.

The address, if such it run lie styled, treated of the character of Ihe mind of man and his follies, nnd humbug generally, and certainly np one could well have a lictler knowledge of tho subject than tho speaker. There is no humbug however about his power tn please and cntcnain an audience (or there were few If nn) who wero nut delighted, even the gravest In i In- course of bis remarks lie alluded to Un frequent prevalence of a mania or epldemii among men In different periods, the attempfw discovery of tho philosopher's Hone which win 10tarn everything Ii touched into gold, the ex- penditttre ol hundreds of millions. In the vain attempt lo discover a fountain of life, the waters of which »cr.- to give eternal youth and life, ihe mania for suicide which existed even

iu Japan, the mania for murder which raged at ono time in Italy and Spain when one hag alone poisoned six hundred troublesome wives or husbands, and still later tlie belief In witchcraft with which even our noble ancestors wero afflicted. It was heresey lo doubt nt some periods. The speaker advanced the not novel Idea that murders and suicide should bo kept out of tho public prints, because thoy sug nested crime to tho human mind, a proposition much upon tho ontricb principal of ir.hu,'. If tho matter could lie confined to two or three persons Instead of being spreud In the community In an exaggerated shape, (tbo newspapers is supposed to conllno itseir to facts), such suppression might bo lieneflclal. Politics, the lioilowness of society, public opinion, tho wortblcssncss of money, nnd other com placo matters were discussed, but no now ideas wero advanced.

Tho Munehauson story told by the spcakei was to tho effect that information being want ed of tho number of troops in an encmy'i camp, tho Baron jumped upon a cannon hall ns it was discharged, rode over to the camp and rode back on ono of tha enemy's missiles in similar style. For tlie amusement of those of our readers who ore not familiar with this great story teller, we will give another of hi* feats:

McsiO HALL,—LAWIIKNCK.—This is n

somewhat novel name to our cltlnsfhs,

an 1 the inquiry will naturally be made,

•'where is Music Mall?" It is situated

on tlie corner of Ameebury and Common

street, uml has long been known to our

citizens ns Lawrence Hall, rutting a

Mansard roof upon It bus completely

Changed the OUSwawd .viiiii-iuono.. of tt."

hnlldine*. nnd the nroprietor. Mr. 11. L. Emerson, lins felt justified in giving tho

placo a new name. The greatest im-

provement, however, i* in the interior.

Tho space, in the roof is occupied by

Pedrick & ClosSOD, ns :i ftirnituio store

room. It Is connected With their estab-

lishment by a u bridge across the alley

ut the third story. The ilaneingor meet-

ing hall, so favorably remembered in

dnys of yoro under tho old nnme, 1ms

undergone a thorough change, nnd it is

now undeniably nnd by all odds the hand-

somest, most convenient nnd easiest of

access of any in the city. The Hour has

been taken up, ami n new one, resting

upon twenty-two India rubber sjirtngi

Laid instead. This affords sufficient

spring for dancers, without causing

enough to he annoying. Tho rostrum,

which tvrs at the opposite end from the

entrance, has been removed, greatly

adding io the amount of space on tho

floor of the hall. A small gallery for

the musicians has bcon built out over

the door, in front of the main gallery.

A gaily painted patent, wire rail, llko

lhn.se used in bank* and broker's ofllces,

ornaments tho front of both galleries.

The walls of the hull are sheathed up

about three feet from tho floor, nnd

above that is renl wooden paneling I»|-

three feet more. This is varnished, and

eiui lm washed if soiled by heads. Tho

color Is green, relieved by white. Above

tho paneling, is green paper, with largo

gill pillars, ami a heavy rich gilt top

border. The general style of tho ball Is

green, whin- and gold. The ticket uffieo

is in ihe gentleman's room-on the Antes-

bury street side. The ladles' room, on

the opposite side or the stairs, has boon

handsomely carpeted, ami nicely fur-

nished with walnut ami green plush,

The gallery can bo be made to hold

about one hundred and fifty persons,

il the ball will probably sent some six

hundred or more. The carpenter work

has been done under the direction of Mr. II. J, Couch.

Music Hall will be opened on Monday

evening, wiih n bull. Carney's full band

will bo In attendance.

the service of Almighty Got), on Tluirs-

j day aitcrnoon with tin? usual services.

| The new house of worship was tl or-

ughly packed notwithstanding tliu day

iras dark, cold, rniny and uncomfuila-

I lile. The services were commenced by

[ tin Invdcntion by Rev. Sir. K<tss of North

[ Bfllericn, followed by an anthem, "The

[ perfect world by Adam trod." Then

came reading of the serlirtures by Rev.

I Mr. Rounds of Cbolmsford, and a prayer

j of supplication by Rev. Mr. Ulucklcy of

Grovclnnd. The following hymn com-

posed by Mrs. N. M. William.-', was then

I sung:

f O Tin)" wliu um.l'st tlit alilniiig world*, I Ami limitf Ilium uut in spatT, } WhoH will .bo universe controls,

Whose piessncs UN* cadi place,—

[ Thy face in Christ to an reveal, I Ami grant thy spirit's might

I Ddiffn, Kra'"'nil!1 '"«■'■. "ll!l house to lake,—■ Wo do lint give thine own,—

And bless ns liii'oiir Suvinur'n sake In this sweet Sabbath home.

i Beneath ihu beavena, nglow with morn, Or robed with -1111-1 clouds,

Oh! may toy people hither come, In eager, ni|>[.llnnt crowds.

Nifiht'H Marry done In coming days Our sleeping dust shall spun ;

Hlru then nine our dear children praise The Infinite I AM.

The seminn was by Uev. Dr. Kollin

I H. Nettle, pastor of the First Itaptist

; Church in Itoston. It was not especially

of a dedicatory character, but would be

suitable for any ordinary occasion in al-

most any Christian pulpit. The text was

the last verso of St. John's gospel:

"And there are many other things which Jesus did, the. which, If they should ho written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should I10 written.''

The discourse wan principally devoted

to showing that there was enough writ-

ten, and the absence of any necessity for

more. It was well illustrated, and en-

livened with occasional flashes of humor,

Coming from such a source, the address

could hardly be otherwise than most able

and exhaustive, At the elose he ad-

dressed the people in regard to their new

place of worship, and to the interesting

nature of the occasion. lie alluded to

the fact of Ills preaching, twenty-nine

years fl£0, the dedleatlon sermon of the

I church which had been burned, to those 1 who hud passed away in that time, to

' Sharp, Blow, ami many others, men

whose memory would always be frag-

rant In the church. Ceremonies of the

present hour, were gratifying to pastor

and people, and to friends far away. But

It would give far more satisfaction to

each one here, when their unwritten his-

tory came to be written, If they would

dedicate their hearts to God, not only

members of the church, but others who

were present, and they would be per-

mitted ultimately to occupy the Temple

not made with hands, eternal in the heav-

ens.

At the conclusion the following hymn

composed by Mrs. II. D, Goodwin of

Charlesluwn, was read by Rev. Henry

A. Cooko of Boston, ami sang by the

! choir:

Fattier, who ■ L i. I' 1 In olden time A temple deign to own,

Quilt on Morlah's sacred height, Of precious wood and stone,—

A temple, rich with India'* gems, And gold from Ophlr's mine,

Accept our humbler house, wo pray, And consecrate It Thin?..

Though Lebanon lins yielded not Iti noblo cedar tree,

Nor Hiram's cunning workmen wrought Upon this house for Thee,

Yet we have sought with willing hands To make It strong and fair;

Dear Lord, we offer It to Thee, This sacred house of prayer.

Oh I make our enrtiily temple, Lore, Thy spirit'* dwelling place,

Where many a seeking, contrite HI til Shall Hud forgiving grace.

Ood of our fathers, bless this houfc.; For long years may It lie

A lieacon oa the shore of life, Pointing to heaven and thee.

And when these " houses made with hands," Shall crumble and decay,

And nil things loved and cherished heie Fade, like the setting dnr,

Give us a relugc with the litest, Dear Father, near thy throne,

A mansion with " the pnre In heart," Whom Christ shall call his own.

Tho congregation linn arose ai.d the

A prayer of Thanksgiving was offered

by Itev. Mr. Mor-e. of Lowell, and then

the staging of the millieiu " The Lord Is

greats,*1 followed by Old Hundred by choir and people. A benediction by Rov.

Mr. Kllngof West Ainesbury, closed the

services. A large number of tho and!

ence, especially those from out of the

town were invited to the rooms below,

which, spacious as they were, proved

none too largo lor tho company that re

paired thereto, and tin hour was spent in

congrntillations and friendly greetings

of old friends. A most bountiful colla-

tion—Buch as tho Mctliucn ladies know

so well how to provide, had been pro-

pared, and was partaken of by the very

large number present. Hon.G.W. Cocb-

raue, chairman of the building commit-

tee, was master of ceremonies, and left

nothing undone to make tho occasion

lino of life and interest. He v. Air. Field,

pastor of the church when the former

bouse was dedicated, :.'!' years ago, was

introduced and responded very appro-

priately In rhyme, reviving many old

and i touching reminiscences. Bu was

followed by Uev. II. F. lironson and K.

S. Hall, also forme;' pastors, whose re-

marks abounded in by-gono recollec-

tions, and by Rev. Mr. (jrassle, of the

Methuon Congregational Church, dipt.

Geo. 8. Merrill, ot (his city, Mr. ltlakc,

of Ohlcopee, and others, and tho com-

pany reluctantly separated, (.losing it

scene of most pleasant greeting and

social converse.

Tho building is eighty feet long, hav-

ing a projection of lour feet front the

front of the main part, and another of

fourteen feet at the rear. The tower

rises from tho western corner, project-

ing nine feet from the side of tho build*

Ing, and is Surmounted with a beautiful

spin: rising one hundred and thirty-live

feet above tho ground. Tho structure is

of wood, in tho modern Qolblo style

throughout; the roof uud steeple are

finished with the best Welsh slating;

there is a basement story under the

whole building, finished eleven feet

high, in which are two vestries so ar-

ranged with sliding (Ivors that the two

can he used as one, a room for the infant

department of the Sabbath school, n

kitchen furnislwd with tho usual conve-

niences, library room, and several clos-

ets, and a stair ease from the basement

to the organ platform, which is liehjnd

the pulpit. The main entrance to the

basement is in the lower on n level with

basement floor, and there is an en-

trance to the smaller vestry at the rear

end of the building. Tho principal en-

ce to Hie main building is in the

it end, and opens into a spacious ball,

the floor of which is three feet above the

floor of thu basement', from which two

broad stairways ascend to the audience

■ooni, and also descend to the basement.

The audience room is finished lo the

■hlge of the roof, tho height being fifty

feet. The wnlls tiro not frescoed, but

[minted In oil color, in harmony with the

finish, which is of brown ash.

There are eighty circular pews of ash

with walnut trimmings; tho windows

are ol stained glass with appropriate

crlpturo emblems, and bordered with

ieh colors; triangular windows are

placed in the roof, adding much to tho

beauty of the house; beneath the pulpit

is a baptistery, plumbed and filled with

pply and drain pipes in the best nian-

IT, The pulpit is of black walnut in

keeping with the Gothic style of tho

building. The carpet is of two colors,

drab and brown, the figure being a small

Gothic arch and A cross; the pews are

cushioned. Tho organ, which was built

by Mr. Stephens of Cambridge, is much

admired for the beauty of its ease (brown

ash) and the excellence of its tone. The

church was built by Flanders & Sever-

ance of Lawrence, tho pews and pulpit

by John Bailey & Son, of Now bury port.

The huilding is universally regarded as

a very handsome structure, an ornament

to the town, and reflecting great credit

on ihe architect, ltufiis Sargent, Esq., or

Xewbnrypoit. The building committee,

Hon. Gerry W. Cochrane, Chairman,

deserves the thanks of the community

lor the unwearied pains which it has

taken in superintending the work.

The church was organized in 1S15, and

Rev, Charles <>. Kimball was Its first

pastor. A building was erected on the

present site in 1816. k was enlarged

and altered two or three times, and in

1MB, was taken down, and one erectctl,

which was destroyed by tiro on Sunday

forenoon, March 21st. I860. It wits ratb-

n unlucky edifice from the beginning.

for when an attempt was made to place

the steeple upon it, something gave way

nd it crashed down into the cellar, seri-

ously injuring one of the workmen.

It will be remembered that tho fire,

which was discovered as the lost hymn

was about to be sting, hud been raging

under tlio uitdieuce tloor and behind the

plastering all over the house, all of the

lime during the service, In fact the con-

gregation, like the three gentlemen men-

tioned in holy writ, were worshiping in

the midst of a (lory iiirnnoe, and like

them came out equally unharmed. The

congregallou however were unconscious

of the fact. The cost of tho new and

tasteful edifice was about 820.000 and of

the organ 82000. The people of Me-

thiien of nil denominations have been

liberal in their aid and most heartily

with tho church and society, and the able and popular pastor, ull the prosperity possible.

To our Qtttomtri and Corrttpondmti i

The surprising development of our national resources, and the rapidity with which the government Is now enabled to rednee the national debt, by we.kly purchases, reader it apparent that the time la approaching when the Flve-Twanly bonds mar be funded si not over fcur ot foer and a holt percent, interest.

Meanwhile their high price, as compared with other classes of securities paying an equal rale ol Interest, Is leading lo general Inquiry for more profitable forms of Investment In which money may be safely Invested.

During the war the necessities and peril of the government, and tbe consequent cheapness of Its securities, rendered them so attractive that, from Ihls cause, combined wllh the patriotic faith of tbe people In their siety, they absorbed almost the entire floating capital of tbe country, and diverted attention from otber classes of securities which had before been deemed sufficiently conservative and soand lo meet the wants of tbe most cautions Investors.

The government Is no longer a borrower. It no longer needs tbe country's capital, but desires gratefully and honorably tn repay IL

The rapid accumulation of capital for Invest- ment, and tbe reduction of the national debt and Improvement of the national credit—rendering It certain that hereafter a comparatively low rate ol Interest ran be derived from Investment In government bonds—Is compelling the search for otber safe and well guarded channels Into which capital aot (mplojed In business may wisely Bow.

Tbe enterprises of Tescr.no less needful la their I line and place, fur I he rummun welfare,than were the Mssle and cost of War. now call for Ihe capital which Ihe gov mini' t no longer needs, and offer for 'Is use a rcmumrallon which the government need no longer pay, and In some coses, a sccnrlty as stsbl' and enduring as the faith ol tbe nation

The desire to capllallse Ihe premium which may now be renllaej upon live-Twenty bonds, aad which a material decline In Gold toward par, and tho ability of the Government to (nnd them at a low er rate of Interest. may at any time eit ingnlsh, Is felt by many holders who desire some satisfactory assurance as to which of tbe many lower priced securities In the market would afford tbe necessary safety to Justify aa exchange.

The applications for Information and advise which are addressed to us daily, show how universal Is tbe desire for Ihls assurance, as to what forms ot Investment more profitable than Govern- ment securities st present msrkct rates, art entitled to the confidence of Investors.

Tha pressure of this want has led ns to feel tbe Importance of directing oar own attention as bankers, onr large experience, and our faellllies for obtaining reliable Information—lo Iho work o supplying It In some measure, and to offer th* results of our Inquiries to Ibose who may be disposed tu confide In uu r euud fait II snd Judgment.

We are unwilling lo offer to our friends aad tha public anything which according to our best Judg- ment Is nut as secure MI the national obligations themselves, with which we have hllhrrto priori' pally identified ourselves.

It entirely vegelable, and contains no liquor, It la a compound of Fluid Kxtrscla. The Roota, Herb*, and Raaka from which these extracts are made, are gathered In Germany; alt the medical virturs are extracted from them bv a scientific chemist. These exlraote are then forwarded to thla country to be used eapreasly for the manufacture of this Blttera. There It no alcoholic sub- stance of any kind uaed In compounding the Bitter*; hence ft l> free from all the objections In- cident to the use ol a liquor preparation.

HOOFLAND'S GERMAN TONIC.

IIOOFLAND'fl GERMAN TONIC Is a pleasant preparation of Dm Blltera for thoae who do not like extreme lllttera. It 1> eompoted of all the ingredient* of the Blltera combined with pure SantaCrui rum and tgrrcablo flavoring extract*. It* n*e la reommended when »ome pure ttlroulant Is required In connection with the tonic properties of the Bitten.

FRAU TRVDCUEN'S TtREAM.

I was young and hearty In those tlays. The wild and picturesque Alpine regions, wllh their roaming cataracts, their thun- dering snow-slides, their dense (breets, their glaciers, and cracked Ice fields, inspired me with a venturesome spirit, now nnd then tempered with awe, and wonder how human beiiiK". having the wide expanse of God's earth before them, could choose to dwell in thsse forlorn and forsaken regions. But, even as the dwellers on the slope of fiery Etna rebuild their ruined city, over and over again, on the same spot, the hardy Swiss would not exchange his mountain wilderness for all the luxuries of Eden,

A stranjre hamlet was Glctsclierhetm .' cottages, piled roughly on the sides of A rugged Alp; here ant) there a level space, with scanty grass, a few geat9, and fewer cows, carofully corraltd—ono would say a break nock village, where nono but the feathered tribe could dwell. But when you saw tho lioalthy Swiss tnnldcn come ont of a eottago, pall in hand, jauntily step over a pathwny cut roughly in the racky msitntaln, until she came to the swlft-rusblng brook; then till her pall, and carry It on her head as if It were a diadem—meanwhile slnging.wlth a clear. UioiiL'li somewhat tmrah votes, a song if freedom ami love — then you begin to feel there was a home there.

The girl of whom I spoke—for 1 saw such a one. white resting from my long ramble, and wishing for a drink of water —had just deposited her pa1!, and was kissing a little urchin who had run out to meet her, when, looking up, she saw me, stared long, and then cried, almost to the top of Iter voice:'Come In, stranger and rest yourself 1' 'I will cornel' cried 1, accustomed to

the hospitable manners of the Swiss moun- taineer. And I began my ascent, not with the <■;,,,■ and freedom of a native, but yet wltti tome more facility than ihe common herd of tourists.

I had almost reached Ihe level space on which the cottage was built, when mv climbing powers nearly gave out. Wllh the linlf pitying smile of superiority she enmo forward, reached me her hand, nnd. with considerable musculnr power, lifted mo tip lo the hmditig-plare.

■ This :.ii'-n!. niiiii h not from Overland,' snlil site, tnnghtn"/; I'oor gentleman! quite tired! Come In—rest Ihyscll! lint N.y bundle, my genileiimn—lliy bundle!'

'indeed. I hud forgotten my small valise! I WHS going down to fetch it. when she held me with a very decided grip, saying to ihe little boy: Hjulck, Kull! ihU gentleman's valise 1'

0(1'went the bay, und up he came like a bird. It took him not lialfttie time it took me to come up. But in that time I observed my conductress. N*»t handsome, nor falr.she had I face so good,so honest, sucli dark-brown. IttsiroiH eyas, such a well-built lorm, suoh n pure, candid expression In her whole being, lhat I felt decidedly Interested In her.

'Come!', said she; 'go hi. and rest awhile.' With that she took the valise from Half's hand, and led Ilia »ay to the chalet. U was low, but III solid roof spread wide. and. nil around, climbing plants, thilfiv and hreih, showed they were cared lor. Two bwiclrss, one escli tide of the porch, of a truly rustic appearance, were evidently often used. The door was open, and ihe room Inside, though somewhat dark, had a neat and comfortable sppearnncu. IB the corner farthest from the door was a couch, with dizzliog white linen. Al first I law noth-

ing but the linen; but soon I perceived that the couch was occupied by an elderly woiunn, .whose hands lny folded on the coverlet, while her languid eyes rested on my guide.

'Sit down. Sir,'snld the girl, offering me a clumsv, but commodious chair, and placing my valise In a corner of tho room; then, turning to the Invalid, she added, 'A stranger, mother dear—a traveler.' \ ml taking one of her thin; snow- white hands, she kissed It, bent over her, and said aome fond, endearing words.

The mother tried to straighten herself a little, and said. 'Welcome Sir; always glad to see a sirnnger!" But her faintly spoken words wero accompanied by a strange smile—the smile of weariness and despondency.

The daughter se»med excited, almost flushed. "Only Relieve/ she Hid, whispering; "only believe, mother denr, and It will come.'

I did not exaclly know what to lay. The whole reception wns so abrupt, so kind, and yet so strange, that I felt embarrassed. I Icoked at the furniture of the room, at the small pictures, at every thing, until my attention wns caught by two claws or an eagle, nailed crosswise on the wall, above what we would call the mantel-piece, and• surmounted by a beak of lingo proportions; the wings, each aome three feet long, inclosed tho whole, which mad'! a strange anil striking appearance. I rose, to look wearer; and. turning to tho lady, who had f.illowcd my uioilons with languid eye. snld, 'A sjylendld eagle lhat must have been; was It shot In Mils neighborhood?'

The Invalid hail, ns it sceined, a shock of emotion. The color returned to her blanched cheeks; she tried to raise herself on the couch; her right band pointed to the trophy, and she spoke slowly, but very impressively:

• Remembrance, sir, remembrance!' And. having said these words, she fell back exhausted; ami her daughter went up to her, and tenderly luaslng her, said. 'Mother dear, onlv believe—only believe.'

I was puzzled. The daughter continued whispering to her mother; and then, with a smila and beaming eye, said; 'I beg thy pardon. Sit down near my mother, and while I nin preparing a tittle bite, tnither will tell theo all—all, sir—and God grant It may bo thou!'

Thus aaylng. In a hurried, c\cited tone, she left ihe room; snd 1, more puzzled than cver.inoved my chair tn the bedside, and sat down near iho invulhl.

She looked long at me, brenthtug Intnl. but quietly ; then she took my hand, and pressing It In hers—a ■aft. feverish pressure—she said, with eyes lilted to heaven, ' O. dear I,onl. how long, hpw long!'

After a few minutes, during which she seemed to be absorbed In prayer, fur Jier lips moved Incessantly, she let my hand go. and tried to straighteu herself uu her pillow. Ttesting on one arm. and wllh Ihe other pointed t<> the eagle trophy, she said, 'That was the bird. Then turning to the window, uenrwhleh her conch wns placed, she pointed to a high, dead pine- tree, looming up behind I projecting rock, and slowly added, 'There wits the nest,' *M- in HerrV she continued ut last, 'what I am going to tell you, I have often told to strangers, each lima with the hope It might be the last time. O, could this ho ihe last time!' ,,

She paused. After a while sho resumed ■n with an effort: 'I was happy then, sir! young and strong. 1 hail a little dnugh- ier. just beginning to walk around. She used to fellow me when I went to'the brook to fetch a pall of water. One morning. Just when 1 had placed the pall on my bend lo carry It home, I saw the little thing coming nut of the bouts to meet me, when an eagle swooped down from the high rock, snatched her up. and carried her aloft up to his nest there, sir, thrret and with feverish emotion, she pointed lo the withered pine-tree.

'And I dropped ilic pail, sir, and remember having run with uplifted arms, iijlng, 'Help! help!' Then my knees bent, nmt 1 fell on [lie ground, retaining consciousness enough to lift me on my elbow, and to sec the eagle flapping his wings, as In triumph, while it seemed lo my raving brain I heard the walling of my poor, dear child. A few moments I lay thus—moments of terrible ngouy, sir —when I heard a shot, not far off. The eagle flapped his wings again, and fell down at the foot of the tree. I heard the walling distinctly. I tried to rise, but could not. 'I have got you !' cried n familiar voice. I looked, ami saw Itolitud, my neighbor's sou—a boy of ten years- throwing nway his gun nnd rushing, with the swiftness of a bird, down the sleep rock which you can sec yonder, to gain the other side of iho hollow-path, which 1 snw him ascending in tt few minutes. Up be went, hanging en to bush and ■tone— up and op—ft path never tried before. My heart grew falut m Ihe child's danger; then I heard the walling high up In that eagle's nest; I knew the yonng eagles wero there; I knew they would fall upon my baby-child. | could not move, sir; I could only follow linluiul imw disappearing behind the bushes and rocks; now In view,but always advancing—till, nt last. I snw him ascending the tree.'

'Forgive me. sir; I tremble all overl' And so she did; it was n moment as If her lifo wns ebbing away. I look her hand; It wan cold. I felt her pulse; It was scarcely perceptible. I became alarmed and was going to call for help. when "lie pressed my hand softly, and ■aid : ' I've told this often, sir, but when I come to lhat climbing of Iho pine-tree, I feel all the horror 1 then felt, over again. Well he climbed and climbed, till at last he came under Ihe nest. He hnd to work his way through, for around it he could not go. I saw him take out, his jackknlfc. and, cutting through the maze Of branches, ho disappeared ball tbrotigb the opening thus made. Then I saw three young eagles thrown, one after another, out of the nest. Then I Baw him descend with the child, air— with Ihe child 1'

Again the poor woman was overenme That fearful descent of her infant baby, hanging with her little arms across thu shoulders of the ten-year old boy—that slow descent, wherein every ate*h was cautiously measured—hnd seemed an eternity to tho terror-stricken mother.

'At last, air' — she resumed, after awhile—'at last I saw him at the foot of the tree, depositing his charge and resting. I SAW hhn kiss Ihe baby, ami take her up and tllsapp-'.ir behind the rooks- another roud than lie had gone. I then became Insensible, and awoke to floii- selousnoss lo liml myself lying ou tbl> same couch, RiiiToundcd by my husband and neighbors--the bnbv last flileep near me and Roland .lining on nit hair, wlili bruised face and hand*, bill Intently gat- ing at me and ins child.

■Since Hint day. ilr, I have never been able to move; my lower lliubshavo remained paralyzed, and, I hough not. suf- fering, I have never boon able to do anything.'

•And lbs baby,'said 1. "aod Roland?" 'The baby Is Hit re.' ^:il'l" she. milling

and pointing lo her daughter, who )ust came In with snmo bread, cheese, nnd butter, nnd other things for Ihe weary traveler. 'Greta.' said who. *l have lold Uiy story over again. When, U Lord, when'/'

'And Rolandf sal.l I, with some ea- gerness; 'i:..1 in,;.- Uolniidr

'Greta will tell you. Sir Stranger,' said the mother. And looking lo Orel a. i saw her blushing and paling, ami blushing again. I began to understand. Looking lo Ihe mother, I saw her eye closed, ns If weary or sleeping.

'And Iloland.' I repeated to the daughter.

'He Is hunting, sir.' said she. Mushing again. 'He will be here this evening. Come, gentleman stranger, take some refreshment : In the meantime, mother will

repose, nnd. after awhile, tell you the rest.'

She blushed again, and this time very much.

1 said. 'Thank you,' and aat down lo the rural meal, with ns caajmon appetite, and more than common curiosity.

The first being aitlffied, the last became more and more eravlag. So I turned round to my Invalid, and looked rather Inquiringly. She smiled, as she said, art curious, dear sir?'

'Very much so!' I exclnhnad. 'Believe*t thou Jo drearasf she In-

quired. Rather puzzled brant suddsa questiou,

1 took the appeal rmse of thinking a moment, then said.—'fsjat drMtuh.'

•Sit nearer/ sh«-«m, Wring again: and I had Just moved my chair, when the door opened, and a young man stepped in, somewhat out of breath, a long rifle In one ham), In the other a big, broad- rlmmed hat; ho scarcely noticed me, went straight to tha conch, laid his hat on Ihe coverlet, look Ihe invalid's wasted hand, kissed ir, knelt on one knee, and said:

■How ,lo you do mother, bow do you do? And lie looked at her with a happy smile, and rested his dark-brown eyes on her with a gaze of almost womanly ten- derness.

'Dear, dear Roland!' said the mother, 'I believe that ctranger has come.'

Then the young man turned to me, gazed at me with a ■trauge mixture of wonder, reverence, und awe, rose, took his hat, made a bow—snah as the mount- aineer knows to make—and literally glided out of the room, shutting carefully the door after him.

I looked nt the Invalid tike one asking an explanation. She geemed to gather strength, and said In a steady, almost solemn voice:

'Thou hast seen him. sir strnnger— him. tho boy who saved Greta's lifo. He Is tin- only son of my next door neighbor, Huns Pelseu. Tie was always kind to me. When my husband died, he did all lie could lo help me In my loneliness. How often ha %9A where you sit now, reading to me from -God's Holy Gospel, and comforting me In my sffllcttou; for ever since Unit. (lav. I was an Invalid, unable to move, and looking tn others for help and relief,' And Roland was as a son to me—a u>ar son—sir: and now since two yenr|,lie wnitstnbe my son. Indeed, my Greta's htisbHiid. 'If father uiilj would.' says lie, 'I could make thee so comfortable. Uui father Is bent upon a dowry. 'If the girl has three hnndred thalers.' says he, 'thou cana't get along with what I can give thee. Thou canst have cows and goats enough to make a living.' And I can not movu hhn, mother: thou knnwest he la obstinate, and somewhat penurious. lie likes the sound of money, mother; and unless he hears the clinking of the silver, he will never snv 'Yat,''

'This was abatit two years ago.' continued Hie Invalid; 'ami. one night, I was kept awake by the grief it caused me to seo these two young people so hopeless. At Inef, [ fell asleep, snd I had a st rannc dream. I sat on the bench oat- side ih,- door, and looking tn the left I saw my poor husband ou the other bench, just as tin often used to sit, and looking happily up to utO. Said I to him. dear husband, wbarlhall fee do fttrtbemr And thru he ■mlled, end began ta sing— nnd he used to sing very well, sir.

"Trudefaoa meln. Bee doefa IVIn,

Wenn .-■ Gott nur frommel.' • 'And he had Just ended the last word,

when he disappeared, and 1 woke—the words yet soundtng in my ears. Hut soon I fell asleep again, and then was, In my dream, walking along ihe path which leads to the grave of my dear Ar- nold. I reached the spot, and there he stood, smiling again, nnd began the Mists song; but this time, he repeated twice the last Hue 'and thee to me;' then I woke trembling and wondering; and when Greta came In, I told her.

'Since that Mile, we have become accustomed to look to a stranger as onu sent to do souHithliig for ns—vidiat, we don't know; but wo try to obey my dear husband's command, and to be kind nnd friendly. Several have passed by, heard the story, but paid no further attention to It. And so It may he agtln, In that caBe,' said she, taking my hand and pressing It softly,' 'pray forgive us. Wo are simplo and Ignorant people, and, as you know, mountaluecrB are superstitious.'

I waft not a ihtlo nuzzled. Young and ardent In my religious faith, which then was In its full bloom, I was rather leaning toward suprrslltion myself. Could I be the long-foretold Instrument to bring happiness to that family? But. if I was rlcn in belief, I was very poor in purse: and -the little practical sense 1 was en- dowed wllh told me" that the purso had somelhlNg to do with this. Then, again, Ihe last line, twice repcatd, puzzled me. 'Brings thee to mo—thee to me,' sounded like n transit to the unknown world: so Unit I should be the means of bringing these young people together—which I cmtltl not: ami of sending this old lady ont of the world—which I trould not.

At last I came, out with some of those consoling, non-committal expressions which newly, fledged religious people have always so ready at hand: 'The I .ot il was merciful—we could not trust too much;* 'Faith had the promise of victory,' etc. And as It had become late, mid I felt weary, I rose and said, 'The night will bring counsel.' The poor Invalid smiled wearily, and said to Greta, who had come In nt the end of our conversation, 'Show the stranger his room, Greta ; and be very, very attentive.'

And so she wns. A cozy 1 iti Is- out- room, lighted with a small limp, received me. My valise was already there, and through the window I could Bee the dead pine, It* top yet crowned with thu remains of the eagle's nest, jest beginning to he Illuminated by ihe rising moon.

It was a strange sight, snd for a moment I could not turn my eyes away. Grata, who had observed my visible emotion, said, smiling:

'My cradle once, and nearly my—coffin.'

'.My best respects to Roland,' said I deeply moved, 'and giving her mv hand.

The tears began tu roll. "Oooo night, Sir Stranger,1 said she. turning and ■.•<>■ lug, God protect you!' slw added, clos- liiK ihe door.

I then prepare) for tho night'*: rs#t. While d"ing mi. and euiiiiylnj mv pockets, a e rcfully folded newspnp.-r atrunk my eyes. I hid got it in Uerue, partly read It, but In the excitement of foot* liavel, fOiirnt If. It was a •reli,'loiM* pi- pet- pi luted at Lwanne. It contained many wonderful fiu'ts of r-.iiver Ions. with appeals to the unbelieving parl of ininki'td. advertisements of a 'ierlo-nV kind, etc. 1'efllng more weary lhaii sleepy, I sat down in a comfortable arm- chair, find lighting a cigar, (for I did smoke, notwithstanding my seiiotis dls- posiilou) 1 began in read—slrnng-ly enough—the Tew adverttsumeut*. There was one. headed bv out-ol-the-wnv capi- tals: '.SoeWfi ■(' iUruf-Utanes tti I. xinitp,' Its purport wns thai a rcllgli muttOH would be held at Lausanne, In iho chapel <tn Am 7W*itr, on Tuesday, Iho 2,lh lust., and nil (VireliVn- Invited, especially those who knew of •Interest- ing* cases, which might contribute to advance the kingdom of God.

I jumped up. and exclaimed, loud enough to he heard by all but sound sleep- ers. "Eureka'.' Then I became serious, Considering uiy • Interesting' case, found that moBBM was nt the bottom of It, and then Ihe Implied traii-dallou of the old lady came ncrossmy hard-working brain, 'lieririilentlne, Be very kind, Whan ibe Stranger

, If UoJ should

I really did kneel down and pray lor light. I was sincere. I got up with the fullest confidence that the 'way opened,' and fell naleep white preparing my discourse In the chapel du Ron Ptittcur, to state my -Interesting' case.

Early hi the morning I was up. A tittle sobered down from the height of my expectation*, I concluded to say nothing of my Intention, to leavo without notice, and lo hmry my steps down the Oherland, so as to be In time for the Berner stage. I accomplished my first descent successfully, then struck another Sath than the one ( had oome the day be- ire, as It seemed smoother and easier.

So It was for about a mile; but then It came to a turn round a projwstlog rook, anrT there it went along a precipice, so narrow, so broken, that I came to a stand-All), and was retracing my steps, when 1 snw Roland rifle Iu hand, approaching.

'Where are you going, sir?' said he, with A broad smile. 'Let me help thee, or else th-ui mayst never come to thy Journey's end.'

Saying this, he hung the ride across one shoulder, swung my valise across the oilier, and taking a tight hold of my left arm, made me go before him. Ills grip wai so firm, and his tread so easv, that I felt no more terror than a child feels when led by her mother's arm.

'It Is very bad here,' said he, 'but it Is not far. Some years ago an English Mil- ord came very near losing hi* daughter.'

Indeed p said I, to Bay something, for I was too much preoccupied wllh my own steps to think much of others.

At last the ugly ledge was passed, and Ith a hearty shake or Ihe hand, he took

leave, 'God protect you.' I thought his voice was a little thick,

I came at last In time for the semi-weekly. Berner Mage, and arrived on the after-

ion of the 24th In Lausanne. Tho small chapel was crowded. On a

platform were several ministers, and I recognized the one with whom I was very intimate. I went up to him. He was so Kind to *ee Ir rhrrfrcre f I staled to him i tuir I had a rose to mention. He wrote down my name; it happened to be the lost on the list. In the mean time, n beautiful hymn was being sung by the whole congregation. Then one ef the ministers offered a fervent, short prayer, and the various cases were called. To speak the truth, I was so preoccupied with my statement that I scarcely heard any thing; but I saw many hand kerchief* moving, and now nnd then a broad hand with square fingers seemed to clear the

», At last my name was called, and I Iked lo the stand with ftrem lab vnthiifl-

tism. I narrated (he occurrence somewhat as I have narrated It above, and wound up with what might he called a peroration, pressing Ihe faith of these people and the providential direction or my eyes fo the advertisement.

My speech was a decided success. The tlitllllng eagle story, iho mysterious ■ream words, carried the day: a whl*- per went nil around the chapel, ' The linger of iii»f. It Is clear; they must be helped.' Old people said, ' I heard of that long ago.' Voung people admired Itolund, and sympatlii/.ed wllh Gretu. At last an elderly man arose, and naked to aay a word, 'lie would move that this uigiit'n collection, and the surplus funds In the rafstt-, should be slotted to recom- pense these people's simple faith.' It was carried by acchimatUn. Whtlu a hyinu was sung, thu plates went round. Many a dialer resounded upon them. After prayer and benediction, tho congregation wn* sent home. A few remained anx-> Ions to know thu rusntt. Among them I observed nn elderly gentleman, evidently English; ho seemed to watch me when I went up to the treasurer, who had Just counted the little sum. and found It to be i'jhiy thalers.

■ We have yet twenty thalers lu the fund,' snld he. 'That makes eno hun- ilred of the three hundred needed, We are poor, sir, nnd I assure yiu, the collection Is larger, by far. than any w*e ever made.*

I was thankful, hut puz/.led. ' It Is neb as It Is,' said I; ' and ' Here I wn*. interrupted by a hand laid

oitmy shoulder. Turning, I beheld the Englishman, wllh a stern, but deeply moved face.

Sir,' he Bald,' excuse me. II ', .,■ was that young man's name?'

Roland, sir.' Roland I nolnnd!' he repeated. 'A

tall, handsome young man—a regular ihamols hunter?'

1 Just so, sir.' And the old Englishman let my shoul-

ders go and lifted his two hand* up, saying:

'Thank God! I can do something— something!'

Then he drew a pocket-book, nnd sitting down at a small table, he wrote A check for three hundred dollars, payable to !

He looked up to me for the name. ' Hans Felsen. of Gletscherhelm.' He seemed puzzled. ' That Is the father's name, tlr.' And down went the pen, and, with

ready hand, followed tho signature; then folded it. he rose and presented It to me : The debt Is not paid—no, not paid—but

fills will go toward It.' And the money, tdr?' said the treasur-

er, pointing to the modest pile, mndo up of many varieties of coin. • Tho moncy which our poor /met et ta-tir* havo so cheerfully collected?'

• I'll take charge or It,' snld Mr. Lynd- liui-i (for such I found his name lo be). 'I'll go and present it to the bride, an a gift from brethren far away.'

The treasurer smiled with sstlsfactlnu. piled the money neatly up in a paper roll, and handed il ID Mr. Lvndlim»r, Baying, * A fore gilt 1'

' So It IB,' eried Mr. Lyndlturat; ' so It Is! .»"" Is a debt paid late, and without Interest!'

We left the church, and Mr. Lyndhurst took my arm. ' We are going together,' he Bald.

1 So, you arc tha Bngllsh Milord Itolnnd spoke of I' said I.

'Ah! he told youV' 'Nothing. He only said, while help-

ing me across a very bad pathway, that an English Milord, some year* ngo. had nearly lost a daughter there.'

' Said nothing more?' 'That WAS all.' 'Ah! the brave boy ! lie

sir. and went behind. I :tnil ob-tlnate—thoiufhl I i lend my daughter aern<w. middle, sir- In the middle, uunr hlnlliig: myelf d'l went down, sir—how. I i|.»nt kn*»w—mine up In front; '.mm hold nf my daughter: led herln safety; earns hick for me—ami. I assure yon, ii nxm a narrow ivwain*!'

He wiped his fntebead. Tin vceollcc lion had fairly iipael him.

'I gars him the Ht'le money I could di-poseof He look it reluctantly. Rut since, I forgot him, sir. I for/ot him : Your munition brought it nil bel.ue me. I am so glad I shall see hint.'

Honest Mr. Lyndhur»t accompanied me lo Berne, where his bunker WHS, and there he spent half a day lu nho|ia and stores, and combined his journey with inc. wllh nn additional package.

It was late lu Ihe afternoon when we arrived at Ihe same spot whence | bad first beheld the lovely Greta. Wu managed to ascend-- leaving our packages to the cure of Half—and. in a few minutes, stood at the door of the brown, weather- beaten chalet.

The door stood half ajar. W« could MM Greta kneeling before her mother'* couch, and we heard her *ny: * Console yourself, mother; the stranger will return. I'm sure he will return.

Then hearing u*. she turned: 'Oh, mother, the stranger!' And with these words hlu! Jumped up, and, I believe, but for the presenceof Mr. Lyndhurst, would

have fallen on my neck. Vet it came to a hearty kl*i. (Tb

people are as pure-minded, reader, the air they breathe Is pure.)

• Are you here?' she said, leading me to tho couch- The poor Invalid wns evidently In a high fever. Her glistening eye rested wllh? a wondering expression upon mine. It was a questioning look. I bent down, and whispered In her car, 'It Is all right: the drear* U fulfilled."

Her hand, which held mine, pressed It with a sudden strength, then relaxed: her eyes were closed, and scarcely could I perceive any breathing. I applied my ear to her mouth, and then heard distinctly a sort of whisper, repealing the wordi. ' She to me.'

At this moment footstep* nnd voices were heard, and Roland entered, with an elderly, rather dignified-looking gentlemen. Roland greeted me with a nod, then led the physician—for such ho was —to the couch.

The physician felt the pulse long, made sundry questions, then naid. in a quiet, distinct voice, to the Invalid, 'Mother, dost thou beer me?'

A very slight movement of the head said ' Yes.'

'Die physician then look Greta and Ro- land to n distance, and said, hi a low voice, which I sufficiently understood: 'Mother cannot last long; perhaps until to-morrow morning—not longer. She will recover somewhat from thla, but the attack will return, and be the last.*

It would be more than drffloult to de- lorlbe the consternation of these two young people. Greta's tears ran fast and thick. Roland was paler, his lips com- pressed; he then looked up to me. I took his hand and led him to Mr. Lynd- hurst. who, grasping his hand with both his own. said, ■ Do you recognize me, Roland!'

For some tlmo the young man's look was absent, as of one making a great effort on himself; then he smiled and said, In his soft, low voice, -O, yes; How is the little one?'

Mr. Lyndhurst looked at me as one who did not understand. 1 explained, ' He asks after the little girl.'

Tho Engllshmuu'g eyes filled, and n real tear ran down each cheek. Grasp- ing Roland's square shoulders wilh his own somewhat broad hands, nnd almo't shaking film, he said. In H voice hoarse with eiimliiiti :

1 Man, you've saved her; she is a woman now —a married woman; mv Jovi my pride!'

Then he t.>i>k n in:.ll, folded paper nut of 111* side-pocket, put It In Bnlatid's hand, and snld: ■(Jnlnkl give Hint to Hans I-. l-i-n. | pay mv debt slow, verv slow; but I'll pay all with luiereet. with compound Interest—I will.'

I;,,|.iml was astounded, opened t|ie paper, read, flushed, looked up to hhn. as if doubting, said at last. ' Does ihl* man know what Mils Is?'

'Why the don't 1?' said tho Eng- lishman. In a rough voice. ' It's my debt, man! my debt! (julck! go to Hans Felsen; nnd mav yon make Greta as happy as mv Amelia l«.v

Kolaml understood. He preesed the Englishman's hand long and firmly, took Ids hat, and went out.

In Die meantime, Greta was busy with her mother; she bathed her temples, rub- bed her pulse, whispered to ber.' Mother dear, nnr sJm, mother dear.' And I spoke a few words to the physician. ' Worn out sir,' said he, 'and only kept alive by mi* hope. I know It, sir, I know It. When that shall be fulfilled, she will go sir—go quietly.'

He had scarcely utteicd thesu words when Roland entered, followed by an elderly man. with gray hair, and rather forbidding appearance. He led him straightway to the slck-bcd. and there Hans Felsen —for It was he—stood a moment ; then knelt, took the mother's hand. kissed It, and said,' Frau Trudcheu!'

The Invalid Opened her eyes at once. She stared at Hans Felsen; then looked nt Oreta, who was approaching, then at Roland, standing behind Greta. Then, again, her eye fell upon Hans Felsen, and theie remained staring.

Ilsns Felsen wis not a bad man, but rough and ovcrpractlcal. When Roland Eut the check—the dowry of Greta—In

Is hand, and dragged him forth to Greta's dwelling, he understood all, felt somewhat ashamed, and when he saw the physician, the Btrangers, and, at last, the Invalid, lie felt compunctious; his stubborn heart was touched, and ho repeated, In a half-beseeching tone, ' Frau Trudchen!'

The mother continued looking at him, at the daughter, at the son—at him again. Then Hans Felsen aro*e, and turning to Roland, said, 'Kneel down there.' Then he took Greta by the hand, and made her kneel down to the left of Roland. Then, bending over between them, he took Greta's right hand and laid It In Roland's right, holding tho two with his own right.

The mother flushed; her eyes spark- led; she laid her right hand an the brswny hand of Hans Felsen, Then she said. In a r-lear voice, with a triumphant smile on her lips, ' Vmobtf (Afilnnced.)

She remained a few moments thus; I hen tolned her hands, lifting them slightly, nnd said, In a whisper:

After a few seconds, we heard a faint whisper,

' And thee to me,' Ihen came a sigh—tho eyes remained staring, the folded hands sunk, A slight tremor seemed to run over tho wholo frame; and we all felt that we stood In the presence of Death.

Greta, kneeling at the bedside, sobbed. Bolaud, kneeling beside her, seemed to follow ihe departing spirit wllh a long gaze—a gaze of bliss and fond affection— a gaze ol love and firm determination—as If he said. ' Mother 1 mother! I'll lake care of her, thou knowest!' Hans Felsen stood—his face covered with hi* hands— as lost In thought.

He was the first to speak. ■ Children,' said he,' arise 1'

They rose, ami stood, head and eyes In-ill down, before him.

Then he stretched out hi* strong nrins. and laying his hands on their shoulders, he said: ' Kinder, I have erred ami sin- ned! I've been harsh! I'll give yon nil I have. Only tnke cars of me-, as you took nitre of Fran Tt inlehen.'

Then (he alrnttg man faltered, nnd I wnsju-t In lime to pu«h it tent forward* wherein he sunk down, and broke In lean ..f sorrow.

It wa* now the yoinhftil pair who con- soled hhn: ' Di-nr father, we shall tnke care. He comforted, he comforted, dear father; thy children will take enre."

Then came ihe laying out. the visits ef sympathizing neighbor*. Ihe ulght- walch. and. after two days, the funeral— so solemn In Its grave simplicity. Then my English friend and myself look our leave. And I confess I asked myself. 'Who was the Stranger— he or 1 ?' And I felt somewhat relieved at the thought. that, if I had helped to bring Roland and Grela*together, there was another Stran- ger who partook of the reapenslhillty of lti-liij'li;/ Frau Trudehen to her well- boloved Arnold.

Hut I almost forgot to mention how Mr. Lyndhui'st, after having taken leave, turned round, nnd presented u pretty large package to Greta.

' A lew gift,' said lie, ' from Christian friend- at Lausanne.'

'What Is lu it?' asked 1. so low thai Itnlans], our guide, eon Id not hear.

-A bridal dress ' said he. Then, raising his mice, he said. ' Ho-

land, I am to he godfather to your rir-i- boru.'

Roland lifted his hat, und tald, emphatically, ' I thank you, sir.'

Their weight was about U.000 pound* each, and the cost »4,300 each. Those mounted upon wheel" are generally those often, tilieiu nnd twenty horsepower. The engines are used for *'<""( '■*">• po.-e and aiepuieh.ised for a great variety of localities. One Is used for running a steamer on Ihe A moor River In Siberia, some are In use in llrn/il, Peru, Chill, Kffypt, Constantino- ple, Sandwich (elands and Canada They are to bo found In over twenty slates of till! union, in greater or lcs« numbers,

igb California is the heaviest patron of them. The average number *eiit lo Hint slate in each ol ihejeurs |WIJ *«:i, '(il, 'li.-. and "0(1, was iH-euiy-llvc ca.'l. year. In the year [SOU seventj-tlvc, upwards Of two-lbirds of |hose mautifaclur- fd in that year, were sent I here, where they command fifty per cent more than any machine*, ol the kind received in that atale. Massachusetts, New Hampshire. Maine and Vermont are (he next heaviest palron* of the establishment. In Cal- ifornia the demand is principally for Ihe mounted machines which are used lo inn grain threshers on Ihe vast farms in that country. It has previously been necessary lo use the labor of Fourteen mules to one ol tho threshing machine*, of course at a vasi expense. These engines which are welt secured from communicating; lire, can be removed from farm to farm or ranch lo lunch, with the same facility or greater, (hall a ihfCsblng machine and other apparatus. In that slate men with machinery take contracts from the owners of (arms to plow, sow and harvest crops at n certain price per hundred or thousand acres aa tho case may be, of course fanning Is oil different principles there from the east. Some of tho engines of larger afce are al-o used [hero for saw mills. Mr. S. T. Zhnnicniiaii of Missouri has In twelve years purchased live different engines for use In that state and Kansas. A letter was received from him recently slating that " No. 118," purchased in 1800, wauled u new pump mid valve only lo mnko It RS good as new. There is no telling the amount of work accomplished by it In the ten years. The machines give universal satisfaction wherever used, ami It Is rather singular that of ihe 7M manufactured, many of them necessarily placed hi charge of Ig- norant poisons, but two have ever exploded. No one was hint by the explo- sions. One was caused by the Interest- ing experiment of placing a hundred pound weight »»r thereabout!, upon the safely valve, and tho 1L engineer " going to dinner nod leaving It In that condition.

The manufacturers have received letters for years from those who have used lhe engines, expressing Ihe most un- bounded satisfaction with them and more than satisfaction. The testimonials nro entirely unanimous, and one gentleman who appears to have been used rather rough by some wlih whom he has dealt at times, writes "that it is a decided pleasure In thu cheating world, to obtain an article not only all that it Is represented, but even far better." This reputation 1* not only creditable lo the makers, but also Incidentally reflects honor upon the eUy where thev were built.

The manufacture of these useful and valuable machines was commenced in tho old Lawrence machine simp, now Everett Mills, in 1 *;,<;, and tho sizes Ihcu mudo were from throe to fifteen Iturse power. Mr. Hoadley, who was engaged in the shop, was Ihe originator of tin m. preparing the patterns and superintending tho work. In 1H,'.7 operations were, abandoned iu thu shop, and llio next year Mr. Hoadley made two in thu establishment of Albert Blood, both of about fifteen liorso power. In 18.V.I and lHiln ho made about sixty In each year, of from fire to twenty horse power. Mr. Hoadley also had six, of twenty home power, and one of twelve horse, manufactured at the Amoskeng works, Manchester, N. H.,in 18i'.0. Tho present establishment on Canal street, was started in 1862, under the name of .1. C. Hoadley & Co. (Pardon Arming- ton and Frank W. Wells). Tho firm was dissolved iu 1868, but Iho style of tho linn is still tho same. Eighty-two of the engines were made before the Lawrence machine shop coased to exist. Which are included in the 7'iL' noticed. Ono improvement which Mr. Hoadley has made iu Uio original machine, and which has been patented, is placing tho cylinder at the opposite end, where it can bo surrounded by smoke ami heat, and the steam prevented from cooling, and consequently from its power being lessened. The improved machine (No. Mo), which is called iho "Cinderella," received a prize in tho Into Mechanics' Fair in Huston. Tho cost of an engine ol ten horse power is 1050 j fifteen horse, #liO»i thirty horse, 92300; Wheels and running gearing, ■-'..'."' to (SoU extra.

Tho average number of blacksmiths, boiler makers, machinists, laborers and Others employed is sixty-live. About three hundred ond fifty tons of iron, imported front England, is used each year. The thickness is from one-iptnrter to ono-half inch. The castings are obtained from the Mcrrimack roandry at the head of Essex street. Tho business office of ilir Hoadley establishment is at the corner of Essex and Appleton streets, in the Post Office building, iho concern has certainly dono its full share in making Lawrence known abroad.

UKTIUE.—The assertions of the Scnii- ml correspondent in relation to the Post Ollleo appointment ■» 1861, are from first to last not only false, but entlroly without foundation, and such stupid blunders ns only a " stranger" from " Maine," or elsewhere could possibly make; thcro is not a single Word of truth in his statements in relation to the multcr.

rnuTo-lViirrit.iiTURT..—The difficulty of procuring desirablu likenesses of friends, is one which most of our readers have experienced; cheap common pictures are plenty enough, but first class article work is only too seldom to bo had. Mil. M. II.

On Monday evening;, the Secretary of iho Lawrence lodge was deputed hy the authorities of tho order to visit thnt place and attend an election of officers.

Rev. J. M. GHAVBS, pastor of tho Baptist Church in Uethucn, from 1817 to l*.iu, died in Cbarleetown, on Friday, at tho ago of 7'i; lie was one of ihe largest hearted, purest of men, and universally beloved,

TIIK ALARM SfURCK.— The alarm ol " ono '' on the lire alarm telegraph, Sat- urday night, at twenty minutes (<> eleven, WIIH caused hy a lull of snow from a roof, breaking thu wire near Iho City Hall.

ANOTHER UuRGLAnY.-—On Wednesday evening (19th) the hottso of William Harbour, Esq., on iho northwest corner of llavcrhill and Lawrence streets, was entered nnd ransacked by burglars; the burglary was discovered by the garden- er, who resides near iho premises, the next morning. The family are absent, Mr. Harbour being in Europe, and bis lady in Saratoga, and no one sleeps in the building. Access was obtained by breaking a window iu the conservatory and opening ihe door; they entered tho dininjf room by the same means, and then Marched every room in tho house but two, which were locked; it is not known whether tho thieves obtained any plunder, or how much, ns no one seems lo he. posted in this respect but the absent ones. Il is not possible to ascertain how many of these burglaries have taken place of late as ihey are kept very quiet by the police, even il they hoar ol them. As ihe most skillful detectives of the force Jiaru been removed for political reasons, and new men suliRtltlltcd, there i» little, likelihood of any arrest or re- covery of the properly if any was stolen. We can only renew our caution lo lock doors, and what is better, to safely hide valuables.

THE FIFTH WHITK LKOTURE.—The eloquent George William Curtis, editor of Harper's Weekly, whoso burning words havo several limes thrilled our peoplo at the Cily Hall, will deliver tho lecture next week Wednesday evening. The tickets will be distributed as usual,

TEUPERAHCR Al.LlANCK MKKTISG.—

A meeting under tho auspices of the Lawrence Temperance Alliance, was held at the City Hull on Sunday evening. A very largo number could not obtain seats. Dr. J. II. Kldder, the president of tho Alliance, presided and Introduced tho speakers. After a few remarks by Rev. Mr. Wilson, Rov. Horace James, of Lowell, addressed the mooting, and was followed by Rev, Mr. Knowles of tho Haverliill Street Metho- dist Church. Mr. Knowles was especially bitter In his denunciation of tiio liquor sellers and was eloquent upon the evils of liquor drinking. Ho claimed that thcro were two ways of stopping tho rum traffic, ono by moral suasion and tho other by law. The pledge was circulated ami one hundred signers obtained.

Tho first mooting of thn series was held in the hall Nov. 20th, 1884. The first year they were hold onco a mouth, the next threo years twice a month, mid the hist year about onco a month. Two inoro were arranged, but, tho weather forbid their being held. The meetings have been large and interesting with superior speakers from abroad. A very large number of tracts and papers have been distributed. On Sunday night a collection was taken Up. » <♦.»

TIIK ESSKX COMPAHV.—The ereal quantity of broken Ice and SHOW, which has of late choked up ihe canal, bus suggested to Ihe engineer of the works, Mr. FHrani P. Mill', who has acted in that capacity since November (Deacon t'ool- idge having become disabled), the plan of attempting ti» Increase the current at the lower end of the canal sufficiently to re h Mis difficulty. This has been thme hy reducing tie width of the canal about one half, fiom Iho vicinity of Ihe paper mill lo the waste gate, about three hundred feel, the current being confined to Ihe ccntio. This Is accomplished by building a frame work with a plank front- age towards the centre of ihe canal. This however docs not prevent the entire space between the two walls of the w being full of water, as the bulkhead so to spesk, ihi.ii-. but there is no current between It and the sides of the canal.

Mr. Mills, who Is a skillful hydraulic engineer, Is about to Institute some ex perluicnU lo ascertain tho exact amount of water used hy each mill, In Order to make calculations for tho supply which can be given from the south side canal.-

o ATLANTIC COTTON MILLS.—At the annual meeting of Ihls company, tho fol- owing were chosen officer* lor 18701 Clerk. I\ K. Vincent; TrenFurer, Wil- liam Gray; Directors, Joslah G. Abbott, George W. Lyman. William Amory, Martin Brimmer, Mamuel T. Morse, and Saruuul K Sawyer.

TIIK CITT II.U.L ÊMLAKUKHKHT.- ■ Nothing hat been done as jel hi the matter or enlargement of the Clly Hall, though there is considerable discussion about thu matter, and there arc many plans suggested. Most peoplo seem lo agree Ihat ihe enlargement should be made during the coming summer, that by next winter we may have a hall of which we shall not be ashamed when a large body of 11 :ih...'i - vlfctl us, and also be able to nceorhhiodnie neatly double the number of our own clti/cn* when necessary. If Ihls was done, wo should bear but few complaints on White lecture evenings.

One plan pioposed Is lo extend the hull westward, across Pemberten Street, removing ihe iinsi(litly steps entirely. The distance from the west wall ol the building to ihe wall of Ihe Free Baptist Church Is fifty-seven feet, andsnexten-

I.m ol Thirty feel will leave a drive way of twenty-seven feet between the two buildings. Taking out el this a seven feet sidewalk, there would still be lift a twenty feet passage. A loweret at the north-west corner might he needed fnr symmetry. A large gallery Inside on three sides is also a part of this plan. It is thought that this would break the troublesome echo which It was necessary to deaden by means of Ihe lining now upon the walls.

A door in tho new portion on Pember- toii street, or court, is suggested, and also one iu tho toweret, on Common St. It Is also proposed to set nil tho dangorous steps now outside of tho building, inside, and make additional rooms out of the basement at tho Appleton street entrance. Mechanics aro or tho opinion that all of this could bo accomplished for from six to ten thousand dollars.

Another idea suggested is, to build out the north wall oven with the outside of tho present tower on Common street, introduce the galleries, ami have the rostrum at iho centre of the south side of the wall.

THE NEW BOSTOS AND MAINE DEPOT,

Tlio nearness lo completion of tho new station of this corporation in Boston, reveals iho oxtent of its resources nnd aecommodatiens, and shows it to ho a model of ctmirbrtnud convenience. Tho depot is now 685 feet in length, of which over 300 foot Is covered by tho rocf, which is (i'2 feet high; the corporation offices are to ho in the front portion, nearly as formerly, only the stairs there- to have been-changed and improvod, and tho ceiling over tho portion of tho track covered, is raised higher than before; the removal of tho old stairways from the front corners, permits greatly enlarged entrances, and gives a much finer and more roomy appearance to tho building.

The waiting rooms for ladies and gentlemen aro very spacious and commodious, the baggngo room and ticket office convenient and ample, while tho splendid refreshment room, which Mr. Spring maintains so acceptably, is among Iho greatest additions made to tho comfort of travelers. Tho newspaper stand has been enlarged, and thcro lias been introduced a telegraph office, nnd that blessing to ladies, a package, room, whero shopping bags, parcels, orcrcoals, umbrellas and tho liko may be loft, carefully shelved and chocked for safe keeping. In fact, no possible eonvenience seems wanting, and President Cogswell and his associate oillceri, merit the thanks of all patrons of tho road, for the enterprise which has given tho road so elegant a depot.

POSTPONEMENT.— in consequence of tho storm of last evening, tho dedication Assembly at Music Hall was postponed until Thursday eveniug next, at which lime tho affair will eome off, " whether or no." Wo hope the dancing public will encourage tho enterprise and give Mr. Emerson a generous benefit.

THE ATLANTIC BALI..—Those who oc- easionally indulge In movements over the lloor to tho sound of music, otherwise called slinking a foot, are reminded that tho annual hall of the Atlantic En- gine Company comes of nt tho City Hall, to-morrow ovenipg, nnd thnt l'lclTer- korn's Hand, reinforced from abroad, will furnish the music. The dance will probably be kept up until two or three o'clock, and a good time Is anticipated. a 1 »**> -

THE CITY HAM, TIIEATUE.— Tho Myers company had a good house on Thursday night, and the play of Hip Van Winkle WHS well put upon the stage in every respect. The personation of Ihe principal character hy Mr. Mur- ray, was admirable, and he was most credltubl; sustained.

AN ELEOAMX STORE. — Among the many splendid stores which attract Iho attention of strangers in our city, and mark thu youthful enterprise and thrift of our merehanI*, thero is uoiie more tasteful in construction, mote elaborate in tinUli. nun'.' elegant in appearance, than iho line llnir Store of HlOtHA, Post Office Block, and we doubt if New Eng- land affords a sinru of its class, so complete and so attractive as this. And what is mure, or belter, Medina, by his loug experience and careful study of his business, knows just what is most fashionable ami desirable, and his customers can always confidently rely upon the goods he preaents, while the ladies ap- preclute the artistic and stylish manner in which bis tasteful assistants dress and arrange the hair. Of late, Medina has also added 11 splendid slock of silver plated ware, nnd llie beautiful figure of Eugenie in Me window is matched hy tho elegant display of bright metal in the other. It is onu uf those stores which are a credit lo any cily, and in which our citizens may well have a reasonable pride.

He supported his motion by claiming that it would save much time for the Legislature and the discussion which would be caused, nnd would ciiljghlon the Liquor Law Committee as 10 ihu sentiment of tha Legists- ture. He was aware of the old objection ti tho repeal of ISM present law, Ihat it would leave uu law, I nit he remembered that nltci election of ltM ihcro was no attempt t( form ihe law, and (here wna what had been stiguiHti/eil ns a reign of " free rum."

1'hc annual sermon of Rer. J. P. Lane, pastor ol the Free church, delivered last Sabbath morning, WHS listened to by a large audience. I'lie following extracts from iho discourse and report of the treasurer will bo perused with Interest by many or the readers ol this paper:

The Free Christian Church ol Andover, was organised May 7, isto, consisting of l-l members, most of whom were heads of families. The Urn pastor, Elijah C. Winchester, commenced Ids ministry three months previous to the ori/anlza- tlon, ami continued till Sept. lOih, 1H4S, two years and .-even mouths. Dm Ins; this period, there were 21 additions to the church. Tlie next pastor WM Sherlock Bristol, from Dot. lu, I3tn, io Oct. 24, ''•l'\ oue year. Additions to membership 17, tleorgc Trash was slated supply for about six mouths, during which lime the present house ol worship, erected through the liberality of Dea. John Smith, and ntrnUhetJ with an organ by John l>ove. Esq., was dedicated and occupied, and there were <1 additions to membership. William U. Brown was paster from August Slat, 1850, till Aprl' 1st, 1833, four years and seven months, l>urlii>; this period s:l membeis were added to the church. Caleb K. Fisher was pastor from June 1st, Is.",, UU May 4th, ]8SD, three years and eleven Ittumbe. During Ibis ministry i|>e parsonage was built and the additions lo meinberabl| wore 101). Stephen C. Leonard was pastor from August loth, 1S.VJ, UN November 5th, IBGTJ. six years ami three months. Doting tula ported the Smith Fund ot (5000.00 was given to the society by Dea. John Smith, the income of which is available lor the support'of pastor, aud then were U members received to the church. James 1*. Line, the present pastor, was Installed hy council April 4th, 1860, end lias therefore been pastor three year and blue month*. During ihls period « uiemhers have been received lo the church.

Changes In ihe church ami congregation by removals to other places and by death, have of course been constantly going on. We have no exact data ef these excopt In the church, which ar good criterion by which those In the c gregation may he Inferred. Of the original 41 members, 22 havo died, 8 have been dismissed to other churches, U aro now on our list aud only 10 regularly worship with us. Of Ihe 21 addilieus during Mr. Winchester's ministry, 0 have died, 12 have boon dismissed to other churches, a only ou our list, all absent members. Of the 17 received during Mr. Bristol's ministry, 8 have died, :) have been dismissed to other churches, 8 are now on our list, hut of these il have been absent several years, aud only 3 are resident with ua to-day. Of tho 0 received by Mr. Trask, 5 have bjon dismissed to other churches, ono U still enrolled, but has been absent a long time. Of the 83 recevled during Mr. Brown's ministry, 12 have died. 41 have been dismissed to other churches, 30 are silll enrolled, but only 17 ure resident with us to-day. Of the 10i) received during Mr. Fisher's ministry, 10 have died, 43 have been dismissed to other churches, and .1J aro still enrolled, of whom 38 arc refcldent members. Of tho SB received during Mr. Leonard's ministry, 3 have died. 14 havo'been dismissed to Other churches, 38 are still enrolled, and 30 aro resident members. Of the 43 received during the present pastorate one has died, » have been dismissed to other churches, 33 are still enrolled aud 20 arc resident members. Among the members who uultcd with tbo church during tho tlrst pastorate, there were 17 couples of husband and wife who joined together; In all but I or these Instances cither the husband or the wlfo and in 2 ol them boih Ihe husband and tho wife have died; only ono of tho 17 remain resident wiih its to-day, unbroken by death.

During the year 1800 3 members were received to the church on profession of faith and one member by letter; 7 members took letters to other churches, and i members died. The number of deaths in the families of the congregation was 10, of whom 7 were In middle or advanced life. Brief obituary netlces were given of these, and the lesson enforced " Bo ye alao ready."

The pastor next spoke of religious and charitable contributions by (he church and congregation, as an Important part of history, and Irom ihe data at hand It was evident that progress bad been made, and our motto should bo still onward. •

The following statement of the Income of the Society and expenses Tor the support of preaching and oilier current expenses since 1859, is lumlshed by the Treasurer.

SsJftsUT KVKNINH LtCTUftBB.— TttO Sixlh of Rev. Mr. Weaver's lectures was given last Sunday evening to a congregation ihut letted the capacity of his church. It was by common consent, the best of the course thus far. It treated of the preparation for lie creatie man made In the carili; lu the creation of species of plants, anlmuU and fishes; in ibo introductlou of tho grosses, grains, flowers and fruits; In putting the earth exactly into ih.it condition necessary lo his existence- The lecturer said the earth wus furnished for homo before he wns put into it. Everything was ready, and waited for iho coming lord of enrili. Then God said, " Let us intiko ni.ii>,' and bo was mnde. Tho leciurcr said rli.it Uoiea records the introduction of plants and animals in successive steps from the lower in the higher, each succeeding ono being u new creation, not the lower developing into the higher, So he said science finds, and names a similar classification, but nowhere finds a blending of species und orders; they rise In gradation one above another, hut each one distinct by Itself, ngrcciog wlih Mosct; man Is ut the top of the scale, above and master of nil.

Tlie next lecture is to bo on the sovcuih or Sabbath day, and this and the succeeding lectures will treat of the i aiv History of Man, i he Garden of Kdcn, Ihe Fall of Mun, tho Flood, and such Important topics. They are being given every Sunday night, lu Ihe Universulist church, at 0 1-2 o'clock. *

THKTIU'ASTS —Tho City government of last year, niter mature deliberation and Calculation o( expense, decided to send the more incorrigible truants of tin city to llit? Truant School In Lowell, and a bargain was made with the aulliorliicp to lake I hem nt $5.25 per week, or about that rate. Tbcy were to bo boarded, lodged,aml Intight. It was found abso- lutely necessary to do something with them as they were a nuisance to Ibo community, am) were likely to become worse. The power it seems did not rest wllb the city government or with the police justice to do this, and It was necessary to secure the assent of the probate or county judge to i lii- arrangement. This was refused lo* some red tape cause, and n special set of tbe legislature was suggested as tbe only manner In which the difficulty could be overcome.

It Is doubtful if nny more steps will bo taken to carry out that piau, ss It is understood Hint Ihe present Mayor Is not fuvorublc to It, being of the opinion (hat it would be much the belter plan to establish one of our own on 6oiuepaitof the Poor Farm, using the building put up for n small pox hospital, moving It from Its present position a ml enclosing four acres of the farm with the bouse with a high beard fence where the boys can cul- tlvalc tho ground, His Itlca is that the coat of preparing and currying on the school will be quite moderate.

(■ilmorc, of St. Mary's Church, of the finances, Ac, of the Free Educational Institute, nn organization Including largo and flourishing schools of both Sexes. It will be seen Unit they lire supported entirely by contributions. It is understood to lie the lielief of the Catholics generally, that their children should receive religious instruction at the sumo time that other learning is given them, and they do not consider licit ono day iu the week is enough to imbue them with religious ideas sufficiently. Some protestauts have similar views and have established denomina- tional schools. As long as tho people of any religious faith choose to do this at their owu expense no one can rea- sonably object, either in the case of Pro- testant or Catholic. Tho former however do not recognize this as a necessity as much ns Iho latter:

Srrond annual rrporl of Saint Mary's Free Educational Institute \n this city.

During tho year 1869, the attendanco was boys, 47fi] girls, 7.10. Number of girls attending night school, 8001 whole number, 1405. Expenses for the year, $o000. Ol this amount $130(1 were collected by some of the ladles ot St. Mary's church. The remaining 13700 were supplied from the revenue of St. Mary's church.

To those who have labored so zealously in collecting tho said funds, and to those who have contributed so generously, id.' members of the corporation return their sincere thanks.

To Hi* fiostor the Mayor, and ih>- City Cimnrit «/ Lmc if nee: GENT*:— I liuve tho honor of laying before

yon ihe following report of the Police Depart, ment for the quarter ondfnir Dec. 31, 1800.

Arrests have been made as follows:—Drunks, lew] safe keeping, U\ larceny, 3,1; assault, SO; drunk 2d offence, IS; breaking and emcrlng 101 disturbance, 11; Idle und disorderly, 1- eommon drunkards, 5; liquor uuisancc, i; violation of Sunday law, 1; raliers and brawlers, .1; l«UM,S| v^mnii, IU; Icwdncis, 5; steal. ins a ride, 4; adultery, 1; poisoning a liorsc, l| breaking glass, 3| illegal voting, || ped dllng without license, 1; forgery, 1; violation city ordinance, 1; fonilcalion, 1; fast drWiug, 1; rape, 1; bigamy, 1; disorderly house, 1; plekpockct, 1; bastardy, 1. Toul arrests for tho quarter, 371. Lodgers, 1TG. Xo money was received during the quarter.

The whole number of arrests during Ibe year, was 1G97; tho number prosecuted in the police court, IMO; discharged from the station house, i "', number of lodgers during the veur. Ma,

A very few of those who apply for lodgings at ihe station house are worthy objects of char- Ily, as a large majority or them are stroag and healthy, and some way sbonld be devised 10 compel iiiem to earn their living; they make it their i'ii-iiu ■■, to travel from place to place, and beg or sical enough lo live anon, being careful not io remain in one place long enough lo become ameuablu io the existing laws against vagrancy.

1 would respectfully call the ailentlon of the Homing city government to the necessity of reform school for children iu this city. Hun-

dreds of hoys and girls Bra being educated fur a life of crime In iho absence of such an Insti- tution; Ihey commence with truancy, and from Hint they becomo petty thieves, anil then commit crimes which lead Ihcm to the State Prison.

The State Reform School not having the capacity to receive all of the children who need restraint, our only resource, if wc are lo di anything wlih them, Is to send then hi Un Jail or House of Correction, lu eilhcr case, It Is moral death, as lliey necessarily come in contact with crlmlnuls of all kinds and gnu" and graduate worse than ever.

An Institution where ibcy could be conli from one to two years, where they could tain an education, having rcgulur hours for lii,,'i mid recreation, would, without doubt, be the means of Hiving a inajorliy of lhat class, .ni,i ii ..ii.- 111.'in useful mem hers of society. In this connection. I would refer you lo Iho following:—Of 1H3 arrested in ISffil f,jr lurceny and breaking und entering, 102 have been l«iys under 18 venrs nr age, and .j" over 18. The number of women over 1H wns 18; gins under 18, fl. A large majority of tbe WOTS were under 14.

'Ihe police force for the |;i.t war uitli u-0 or three exceptions, has In en nil Hint could be desired. The employment of a captain of iho Night Watch wns a step in the right dlrerlloii towards bringing the tone in a Mute or discipline and pcrlet'iliiii tli.it all ^■■"•■leltixcns would desire to sec. Much credit is due Capt. Simon Blabcllnfor the neiiiiiy and • .msiaui attention lo the duties of that offleo. It be had been properly sustained In ih-; execution uf his du tics by the pa*t City novcrnment, lhc success would have been more marked, mid. belter nt. Isfacllon given.

To my asshtai l, l-i'"1 M'bl'c'i Ibitrlicldu, I am much Indebted !"i valuablu aid nnd its- slsUncolndls.lnticnii: llr' duties nf my offlcf Always couricom ;"i-i nl'.iHitiB. I have rensun

Uwrwc.Jan. 1st, 1870,

I.\v«i:ii'i, JAV. li-i II, li;0. Kui ton — Two week* of th* new year am

Ju*t expired, and of a mure confused period I do not knuw In the history of oar city. I have often experienced weeks of political itrnggles, but la tho confuiton aone one would be Mtlilled; In tbe present Instance, nobody Ii utlaned, lave tbe few who are holiled on the public as efficient oflicers. Tho Democratic party must have dons icvero wile pulling when tho short spare of twelve hours made nnd unmado City Marshals. At ten o'clock Satur- day night prcvlona to the Inauguration of Mayor Me MIL David Besity wa* to ba Marshal by common consent, but Bcally'i hopci were blasted, and Mr. Sbcpard'i slock high at Ihe hnillagi; neit come* the second dispatch, and Seatty's slock came down one more per cent.; but this time Mr. Bcitty mus- tered lo*t coorage, and told Hla Honor be was not to play second fiddle to AI. Clark; consequently, Mr. Deatly Is Installed and iworn In Aiaietant City Manhal; thankful wa arc, to be blessed wlih auc.li favori.

But lot mo examine a llllle Into tbe proceeding! of our cily authorities; In Ihe first place, tha Republi- can policeman, with Iho exception of Moollon Halelielder, are swept out of office; the lint thing of the bind done In our city, and in reading over the Hit of en n firm I'd policemen, I isw such a name as Van Dyke; bo Is brought out of die Pemberton, where he earned tj.i'i per day, and placed on the watch; only three or four year* In the states, and now g Melvin policeman ; John Dunn 1* painter by trade, a worthy clilxen, but like othen, vole* for the strongest party. Now come to the plalni, and morel* Patrick Merphy, trader. I remember Mr. Murphy had a watchman at the ward rooms on election diyi lo convey to him Information aa to which way tbe election wn going, to enable him to vote lo hi* satisfaction for the strongest party; at one time a republican, at anolher time a democrat. Now, I aik. In all sober earnestness, why ihould these men have the berth of policemen, when there were par- Uc* applying for the position In all respect* superior, who are forced to work for gl.&o per day; Johnny Morrlny hu been laboring Ibr that parly twenty-four yean In Lawrence, and he could not get hli brother on the staff, and only became he did not wear kid glove*, Go back only one year, ice what tbo republican party did; they not only hli old pullcemen, but gave tho Democrats live policemen, and lhat too, after we had voted agaJuil their and our own Inlereiti. Here wa are, Irian Democrat!, acme oae thousand voters strong, only get six men from the demagogues, and

irishmen, have you any sense of honor III your boiom* ? if you have, volo for your awn and country'* Interval; throw off the lyranutcal yok* of faUe democracy, and adhere to the party of progress and freedom, and your rights will be more respected ; »ma*h thai corrupt political den, the Jack, son club room ; shake yourself from Ibo grasp of tbu leader* lhat bind you; aaacrt your right* like freemen, and ihoie that now ride on your back tc office will be forced to trudge lu the political mire,

nut I forgot lhat we had a democratic admlnUtra. lion, and Indeed he must be a'great growler who And* fault bccauie tho Executive, is? hi* liberal view*, thought proper to go to Ihe State of Maine fur a City Marshal. Lawrence I* ao renowned for la learn 11 g and laical* lhat It was requisite lo hunt up a mind superior to all other claimant* for dis- tinction lo All Ihn Mut-i-hiil'sjelislr, and after a thorough search and a great deal of labor, he wns found In tbe person of Mr. Sbepard.

Iu my roollah Imagination, I thought Mr. Btewiler would ho Ihe lucky nuui, a* ho bad, I suppose, lhat uniform he uhlblted in ISM, wben he wai ihe graud Know Nothing leader; but poor Brewiter Ii a decade behind the sgo of progres*, and consequently unlit for Ihe position.

Remembering the charges agilnit Mayor Davis, what shall I iay of Melvin, who freely admitted that he had no charge! against Daule| Donovan, but yet In conicnuenco of great pressure brought to bear on him, he cauld not nominate him. I iay wlih Impunity that this Daniel Donovan Ii one of tbe most capable men Mayor Melvin had lo noinlii- aie, and lhat he knows more tbaa Iho whole force, Marshal and Assistant Manual* put together. ClUseni of Lawrence,you who are free from corrupt political citizen*, keep In light the dolngi of would' be leaders, and only vote for com potent men In future; men capable of administering lb* affairs of Iho city fur the welfare of tho wbole, without fear

Sandy was very drunk. He was lying under an azalea bush, in rrettr much the game attitude In which he had fallen some hours before. How li.ti;;- lie had becnlyhifr there he could not tell, and didn't care; how lonjr he should He there was a matter equally htdeihilte and un- consldered. A tranquil phllosopliy, born of his physical condition, sufliised and saturated his moral being:.

The spectacle of a drunken man—and of this drunken man In parllcular— was not. I grieve to say, «f sufficient novelty in Bed Gulch to attract attention. Kar- llcr In the day.a satirist had erected a temporary tombstone at Sandy's head, bear- Inir the Inscription, • Effect* of McCor- kle's whiskey—kills at 4" rods," with a hand pointing to MeCorklo'a saloon. But this, 1 Imsjtitte, was, like most local satire, personal; and was n reflection upon the unfairness »f the process, rather than a commentary upon the Impropriety of the result. With this facetious exception, Sandy had been undisturbed. A wandering mule, released trom his pack, had cropped the scant herbage beside him, and sniffed curiously at the prostrate man; a vagabond dog, with lhat deep sympathy which the species have for drunken men. had licked his dusty boots, and curled himself up at his feet; and lay there, blinking ene eye In the sunlight, with a simulation of dissipation that was Ingenious and dog-like In Its Im- plied flattery of the unconscious man beside hint.

Meanwhile, the shadows of the pine- teees had alowly swung around until they crossed the road, and their trunks barred the open meadow with gigantic parallels of black and yellow. Little puffs of red dust, lifted by the plunging hoofs of passing teams, dispersed in a grimy shower upon the recumbent man. The sun sank lower anil lower; and still Sandr stirred not. And then the repose of this philosopher was disturbed—as ether philosophers have been—by the In- trusion of an unphiloBouhlcAl sex.

' Miss Mary "—as she was known to the little flock that she had just dismissed from the log school-house beyond the pines—was taking her afternoon walk. Observing an unusually fine cluster of blossoms en the azalea bush opposite, she crossed the road to pluck It—picking her way through the red dust,'not without certain tierce little shivers of disgust, and some circumlocution. And then she came suddenly upon Sandy!

Of course, she uttered the little ttacrato cry of her sex. But when she had paid that tribute to her physical weakness, she became overbold, and halted for a moment—at least six feet frem tall prostrate monster—with her white skirts (lathered In her hand, ready for flight. But neither sound nor motion came from the bush. With one little foot she then overturned the satirical head-board. and muttered 'Beasts!* an epithet which probably, at that moment, conveniently olassitled In her mind the entire male population of Bed Gulch. For Miss Mary, being possessed of certain rigid notions of her own. had not, perhaps, properly nppreclated tho demonstrative gallantry for which the Callfornlan lias been so Justly celebrated by his brother Callfornfans. and bad. ns a new-comer, perhaps, fairly earned tho reputation of being' stuck up-'

As she stood there. She noticed, also, that the slant sun* earns were healing Sandy's head to what who judged to be an unhealthy temperature, and that his hat was lying uselessly at his sld<-. To pick It up and to place It over his face was a work requiring swine courage, particularly as Ills eve-* were open. Vet she did It, and made good her retreat. But she was somewhat concerned, or looking baek.tO see that Ihe hat was removed, and that Sandy was sitting up and saying something.

The truth was, that In the calm depths of Sandy's mind, he was ■■flailed that the rays of the sun were hcnetlclal mid healthful; that, frem childhood, he had objected to lying down in a hat; thnt no people but condemned fools. pn«t rc- dempllnn, ever wore hats; and that his right to dlspsisM with them when liu pleased WM Inalienable. Tills WSS the statement of his liner comcloiiiiiess. Unfortunaluly,its outward cxpresshm wa- vngur. being limited t» n repetition "f the folhiwlng formula: ■ Sn'shlne nil ii"! Waster near, eh? Wast up. su'shlnsP

Miss Mary Stopped, and, Inking tn'-li eonrage Irani her vantage ol distance, asked him If thorn WHS anything that he wanted?

■ Wass npV Wuser DHSrr continued Sandy. In a very high. key.

'(letup, you horrid maul' Slid Miss Mary, now thoroughly Incensed( -igci up, and go home.'

Sandy staggered lo his feet. He was six feet high, and Mlis Mary trembled. He started forward a lew paces, and then stopped.

'Wass I go hum for?' he suddenly asked, wiih grcitt gravllv.

' Go and take a bsth.' replied Miss Mary, eying his grimy person with great disfavor.

To her infinite dismay, Sandy suddenly pulled off his coat and vest, threw them on the ground, kicked off his boots, and plunging wildly forward, darted headlong over ttie hill. In the direction of the river.

'Goodness heavens!—tho man will be drowned!' said Miss Mary; and then, with feminine Inconsistency, she ran back to the school-bouse, and locked herself in.

That night, while sented at supper, with her hostess—the blocksmlth's wife, —It came to Miss Mary to ask, demurely. If her husband over got drunk. ' Abner ' —responded Mrs. Stldger. reflectively— 'let's see: Abuer hasn't been tight since last 'lection.' Miss Mary would have liked to ask if he preferred lying in the sun on these occasions, and If n cold bath would have hurt him; but this would have Involved uu explanation which she did not then care to give. So she con- tented herself with opening her grey eyes widely at the red-cheeked Mrs. Stinger— a fine specimen of south-western eltlorc*- cenco—and then dismissed the subject altogether. The next day she wrote to her dearest friend. In Boston : ' I think I find the Intoxicated portion of Hits community the least objectionable. I refer, my dear, to the men, of course. I do not know any thing that could make the women tolerable'

In less than a week Miss Mary had forgotten ihls episode—except that her afternoon walks took, thereafter, almost un- coualotisly, another direction. She noticed, however, that every morning a fresh cluster of az-alea blossoms appeared among the flowers on her desk. This was not strange, as her little flock wore aware of her fondness for flowers, and In- variably kept her de«k bright with anem- ones, syringas, and lupines; but, on questioning them. they, one and all, pro- fessed Ignorance of the azaleas, A few days later. Master Johnny Stldger— whose desk was nearest to the window- was suddenly taken with spasniB of apparently gratuitous laughter, that threat- ened the discipline of the school, All Last Miss Mary could get from him was. that some OHO had been * looking in the winder.' Irate and Indignant, she sal- lied from her hive to do battle with the Intruder. As she turned the corner of the school-house, she came plump upon the- quondam drunkard—now perfectly sober, and Inexpressibly sheepish and gullty-looklng.

These facts Ml*s Mary was not slow to take a feminine advantage of, in her present humor. But It was somewhat confusing ta observe, also, that the beast, —despite somo faint signs of psjt dissipation—was amiable-looking—in fact, a kind of blonde Samson, whose corn-colored, silken beard apparently had never vet known the touch of barber's razor or Delilah's shears. So that the cutting speech which quivered on her ready tongue died upon her lips, and she con- tented herself with receiving his stammering apology with supercilious eyelids and the gathered skirts of uncoutamlna- tlon. When she re-entered the school- room, her eyes fell upon the azaleas with a new sense of revelation. Aud then she laughed, nod the little people all laughed, and they were all uuconaclously very- happy.

It was on a hot day—and not long after this—that two short-legged boys came to grief on the threshold of tho school with a pall of water, which they had labori- ously brought from the spring, and that Miss" Marv compassionately seized the pall and started for tho spring herself. At the foot of the hill n shadow crossed her path, and a bhie-shirtcd arm dexter- ously, but gently, relieved her of her bur- den.* Miss Mary was both embarrassed and angry. * If yoti carried more of lhat for yourself,' she said spitefully, to the blue arm, without deigning to raise her lashes to its owner. ' you'd do better.' In tho submissive silence that followed, she regretted the speech, and thanked him BO sweetly at Ihe door that he stumbled. Which caused the children to laugh again—a laugh in which Miss Mary joined, until the color came faintly into her pale cheek. The next day a barrel was mysteriously placed beside the door, and as mysteriously fllled wi'h .fresh spring water every morning.

Nor was this superior young person without other quiet attentions. ' 1'rofane Bill/ driver or the Sluiugulllon Stage- widely known in the newspapers for Ills 'gallantry' In invariably offering the box-seat to tho lair sex—had exceptcd Miss Mary from this attention, ground that he hud a habit of' ct up grades,' and gave her half the coach to herself. Jack Hamllu, a gambler, having once silently ridden with her lr the same coach, afterward threw a decan- ter at the head ol a confederate for men- tioning her niune in a bar-room. The over-dressed inothe* of a pupil whose paternity was doubtful, had often lingered near this nstute Vestal's temple, never daring to enter Its sacred precincts, but content to worship the priestess from afar.

With such unconscious intervals, the monotonous procession ot bine skies, glitlerlng sunshine, brief twilights, and starlit nights passed over Bed Galch. Miss Mary grew toad of walking in the sedate and proper woods. Perhaps she believed, with Mrs. Stldger. that tho bal- samic odors of the lira *dld her chest good,' for certainly her slight cough was less frequent and her step was tinner; perhaps she had learned the unending lesson which the patient pines are never weary of repeating to heedful or listless ears. And BO. one day, she planned a picnic on Buckeye Hill, and took the children with her. Away from the dusty road, the straggling shanties, the yellow ditches, the clamor of restless engines, the cheap tlnery of shop-wlndowB, the deeper glitter of paint aud colored glass, and the thin veneering which barbarism takes upon itself In such localities—what Infinite relief was theirs! Tho last heap of ragged rock and clay passed—the last unsightly chasm crossed—haw the waiting woods opened their long files to receive them 1 How the children—perhaps because they had not yet, grown quite away from the breast of the bounteous Mother—threw themselves face downward on her brown bosom with uncouth caresses, filling the air with their laughter; and how Miss Mary herself—felinely fastidious and entrenched as she waH In the purity ol spotless tklrts. collar, and cuffs—torgot all, nnd ran like a crested quail at the head ol her brood,until romp- ing, laughing, and punting, with a loosened braid of brown hnir. a hat hanging by a knotted ribbon from her throat, she came siraueiily and violently. In the heart ol Ihe forest, upon-^the luckless Sandy!

The explanations, apologies, and not OVOrwIee conversation that ensued, need not be Indicated here. It would seem, however, that Miss Mary had already established some acquaintance with this ex-drunkard. Koongh that newts soon socepted sa one of tho party; lhat tho children, with that quick intelligence which Providence gives tlie helpless, re- cngiiized a friend, end played with his blonde beard, and long, silken mustache, and took other liberties—as ihe helpless ore apt lo do. And when ho had built a lire Mgalnst a tree, and liaJ shown them other mysteries of woodcraft, their admiral ion knew no bounds. At the close of two men foolslh, Idle, happy hours, he found himself lying at the feet of the school-uiistiess, gazing dreamily In her face-as she set upon the sloping hlll-slde, weaving wreaths of laurel ami syrlnga—iu very uincli the same attltudc as he had lain when first they met. Nor was the similitude greatly forced. I'he weakness of an easy, sensuous nature, that hud found a dreamy exaltation In liquor. It Is to bo feared was now finding an equal Intoxication in love.

I think lhat Sandy was dimly conscious or this himself. I knew that lie loused to be dolnu' something—staying a grizzly, scalping a savuge, or sacrific- ing himself in some way for the sake of this sallow-faced, gray-eyed school-mistress. As I should like to present him

In an heroic attitude, I stay my hand with great difficulty at this moment, be- ng only withheld from introducing such

an episode by a strong conviction that it does not usually cccnr at such times. And I trust that my fairest reader, who remembers lhat. In a real crisis. It Is always some uninteresting strunger or un- romantic policeman—and not Adolphus

who rescues, will forgive the omission. So they sat there, undisturbed—thu

woodpeckers chattering overhead, and thi voices ef the children coming pleas-

ntly from the hollow below. What they said matters little. What they thought

-which might have been Interesting— did not transpire. The woodpeckers only learned how Miss Mary was an orphan ; how she left her uncle's honse, to come to California for the sake of health and independence; how Sandy was an orphan, too, how he came to California

xcltcmont; how he had lived a wild and how he was trying to reform;

BCd other details, which, from a wood- pecker's view-point, undoubtedly must liiivc seemed siupld. and a waste of lime. But even In such trifles was Ihe afternoon spent; and when Ihe children were again gathered, nnd Sandy, with a delicacy which the school-mistress well understood, took leave of them quietly at thu outskirts of the settlement, It had seemed the shortest day of her weary life.

As the long, dry summer withered to Its roots, the school term of lied Gulch —to use a local eiiphonlsm—' dried up ' also. In another day Miss Alary would be free; and for a season, at least, Bed Gulch would know her no more. She was seated alone In the school-house, her cheek resting on her hand, her eyes half closed In one of those day-dreams In which Miss Mary—1 tear, to the danger of school dl«cl|>llne--was lately In the habit ot indulging. Her lop was full of mosses, ferns, and other woodland memories.

She WAB so preoccupied with these and tier own thoughts that a gentle tapping at tho door passed unheard, or liatislaled Itself into the remembrance of far-off woodpeckers. When at last It asserted Itself more distinctly, she started up with a flushed (-heck and opened the door. On tlie threshold stond a woman. Ihe self-as- sertion and ends city of whose drssa were In singular contrast to hur Mnilil, Irreso- lute hearing.

Miss Marv recognized at a glance the dutilotis mother of her anonymous pupil. Perhaps she was disappointed—perhaps she was only fastidious—hut as she cold- ly Invited her to enter, she half uncon- clously settled her white cuffs and collar, and gathered closer her own chaste skirts. It was, perhaps, fur this reaHon that th« embarrassed stranger, jaftcr a moment's hesitation, left her gorgeous parasol open and sticking In the dust beside the door, and then sat down at the farther end of n long bench. Her voice was husky as fihe begau:

' I heard tell that you were goln* down to the Bay to-morrow, and 1 couldn't let you goaintll I came to thank yon for your kindness to my Tommy.'

Tommy. Miss Mary sold, wns a good boy. aud deserved more than the poor attention she could give him.

' Thank you, Miss I Thank ye!' cried the stranger, brightening even through the color which Bed Gulch knew facetiously as her "war paint.' and striving. In her embarrassment, to drag the long bench nearer the school-mistress, ■ I thank you. Miss, tor lhat! and If I am his mother, there ain't a sweeter, dearer, better bay lives than him. And If I ain't much as suys It. thar ain't a swoeter. dearer, angcler teacher lives than he's got.'

MUs Mary, sitting piitnlv behind her desk, with a ruler over her shoulder, opened her gray eyes widely at this, but said nothing,

• It ain't for you to be complimented by the like or me'—sho went on, hurriedly— 'I know. It ain't for me to be comln' here. In broad day, to do it. either; but I come to ask a favor—not for me, MISH— not for me—but for the darling boy.'

Eucouraged by a look In the young school-mistress' eye, and putting her lilac-gloved hands together, the fingers downward, between her knees, she went on, in alow voice:

■ You see. Miss, there's no one tho boy has any claim on but me, and I ain't the proper person to bring him up. I thought some, last year, of sending him away to 'Frisco to school, but when they talked of bringing a school-ma'am here, I waited till I saw you, nnd then I knew it was all right, and I could keep my hoy a little longer. And O, Miss, he loves you so much; and II you could hear him talk about you, hi his pretty way. and If he could ask you whnt I ask you now, you

ililn'i refuse him. It Is natural.' she went on. rapidly. In

a voice that trembled strangely between pride and humility, 'It's natural that ho should take to you. Miss, for his father, when I first knew him. was a gentleman —and the boy must forget me, sooner or later—and so I ain't a goln' to cry nbnut that. For I come to ask you to take ray Tommy—God bless him for the bestest. sweetest boy that lives—to—to—lake him with you.'

She had risen and caught the young girl's hand In her own, and had fallen on her knees beside her.

1 I've money plenty, and It's all yours and his. Put him in some good school. where you can go and see him, and help him to—to—lo lorgot his mother. Do with him what you like. The worst, ynu can do will be kindness to whnt he will learn with me. Only take him out of this wicked life—this cruel place—this home of shame, and sorrow. Von will; I know you will—won't you- Yon will—you must not—you can not say no! You will make him as pure, as gentle as yourself; and when he has grown up, you will tell him his father's name—the name that hasn't passed mv lips for years—the name of Alexander Morton, whom they call here Sandy! Miss Mary!—do not take your hand away! Miss Mary, speak to me! Yon will take my boy? Do not put four face from me. I know It ought not to look on such as me.

i-Green corn-stalks, the poorest and mennest fodder over given to a cow."— Report of Dr. Loring't PUtufitld Speech,

Such a sweeping condemnation of an article so generally used, coming from one so deservedly popular as a teacher upon agricultural topics, will naturally arrest attention nnd Incite Investigation. If com stalks are worthless for fodder, the thousands who annually raise them ought to know It, hut It they renllv have nn Intrinsic value It may be well for those who advocate their use to show their reasons.

For one. I believe, Ihe main objections urged against this fodder arise enllrely from the manner of cultival Ing and using It. In order lo derive the greatest benefit frnm this crop, it is necessary to understand the office and nature nf the stalk and Its value ut different stages of lis growth. In Its early growth the s'alk Is composed mostly of soft, cellular tissue. and the |ulce Is watery and Insipid. As tin- stalk approaches maturity, the (nice thickens and is richer in saccharine matter, and when stalk and leaves arc fully developed and the ear Is forming, tho juice Is the richest, and the stalk has its greatest value. The development of the ear withdraws, the Juice from the stalk and leaves, and when It Is fully ripened Ihey posses little nutritive value. In-come tough and hard and are more suitable for beds nnd bedding, and making paper than for even the four-fold stomach ol the ox or sheep. Thus the offiee of both stalk and leaf Is to support and perfect the ear or grain, and (heir valuo varies with the growth ofthe plant.

Where the practice of planting corn Tor fodder is to sow thickly In drills which have been well filled with the strongest kind of manure, a rapid, rank growth of pnrtlully developed stalks In produced, as tho pale green, sickly yellow, or blanched appearance of n largoj>art ol the fodder Is ample evidence. There is no room for full development. Cut this when hair or two-thirds grown and you have an Imper- fect stalk at Its most valueless period. A large hulk may be produced, but the juices are watery and Insipid—not nutri- tious. It Is butter calculated to allay thirst than to satisfy hunger. It Is no wonder the butter-maker Is disappointed, and the milkman fears bin customers will grumble.

The large, cotrsu and tale varieties of corn make the poorest fodder; for they must be planted more closely and cut earlier than smaller kinds to have it eaten at all—consequently tho stalks are furth- est from maturity. It Is probably from Using fodder grown in this way that disappointment arises and tho cry of condemnation Is heard. Would there were more milk-producers who take pride In having a food article and giving their customers >n equivalent for their money.

Now, it uu at he oonceded thnt bulk in growing redder li no consideration unless there Is a corresponding amount of nutrition; qtiauty. rntber than quantity. Is the main thlur. to be attulned. An'lnnutrl- rlmis, bully fodder unduly distends the stomach, and the labor ofthe digestive organs Is grentty increased; their power Is weakened thereby, and the food will be hnperfrctly digested. It the smaller varieties rre planted thinly hi the drill, giving endt stockroom and time to attain ks natural size, or nearly so. and to produce an eir. and In cut while the ear Is forming, the stalk will be In Its greatest perfectionpnd the fodder worth raising— Its deep, rich, luxuriant green will be- token heilthv growth, and both stalk and leaf be full of the sweet juices which go to form the grain; one stalk Is worth three of the largo Western or Southern varieties bat half matured. This fodder will produce creati as well as milk. It is good for oxen ami sheep, and horses eat it readily and thrito upon It. For several years I have usei) sweet corn and And It far superior to i Is- common yellow; It Is exellentfor fattening animals, and I have fed It to working Dorses with satisfactory results.

Corn fodder is just what we make it. If we plant so thickly that the stalk cannot be well matured aud cut before It has attained Its uiaxlnstin goodness,—getting only a poor, watery article.—It Is surely no fault ortho com. Uwell planted and allowed to remain until the ear or grain nnd the weather lutve extracted all the goodness, ws have only a hard, tough and Indigestible stover. While If managed rightly, all th« virtue of the grain maybe retained In tke stalk and leaves, am) the whole form a palatable and nu- tritious food. Precisely the rules thnt nrc followed In raising other grains for fodder are applicable to corn. Any farmer ofexperienee In sowing rye, oats or barley for thnt purpose would sow tolnly and cut wblle Iu the niiv,. for he knows full Well II seeded so thickly Ihe stalks could not bead out, and the result, though bulky, would bo a poof, trashy stuff.

Complete success, lipwever, cannot lie attained without audition to something more than the proper quantity oI seed aud right lime of cutlng. It requires a good soil, in tine tilth, with a liberal supply of lit 111111 '■ part of which has been ploughed or harrowed In. In short, ihe cultivation should be to thorough that a good crop can be secured in nn unfavora- ble. seasfW, for it Is needed most when hav and pii-luie are falling.

Taking all things futn consideration. green corn Is the best thing yet offered for soiling or supplying a deficiency In pasturage. Its easy -ciiplvHllon, almost certainty of a large ylslit, siuall expense. ami Ihofaof that ir imparts noobjntl i- tile flavor to the milk or fiesli of animals, all commend It. Moreover, whnt is not wanted in a green Male can be cured anil fed dry with profit in the winter. We must, therefore, advocate Its use. although, occasionally, we hear denuncia- tions against it. v. s. T,

FIKKS AND INCHNIHAUISH.—There was rather a mixed alarm on Friday evening about ten minutes before nine o'clock; it appears that fire wns discovered in the barn of Mr. Charles Webster In the rear of his resilience on the corner of New- bury and Gordon streets, and an alarm was given from box 4, on the opposite corner. After tho striking of one round, an alarm was given from box 0, at the Washington Mills, from a fire fn the woodshed attached to building No. 30, Washington Corporation, corner of New- luirv and Canal streets. There was a consequent jumbling ot numbers, and o, 0 nnd 7 wore struck. The fire In the stnblo was so successfully kept under by the exertions of Individuals, with buckets, thnt the firemen all proceeded to the Washington Corporation ; as soon as Ihe alarm wns given from thnt fire tho young men nttacheil to tho well drilled hose company of that mill, ran the hose carriage ol Ihe mill out of the yard to a hydrant near the scene of the fire, clapped ou, and soon bad a powerful stream upon the burning building, which soon squelched tbe fire. The fire department was promptly on the spot,

1 mi I heir services were scarcely needed; they were almost immediately called to th" Webster fire which hnd got beyond the control of the neighbors, and poured a deluge of water Into tbe stable.

The IOBS in both cases waa moderate, $100 covering tho damage In either, and Insurance waa ample. There can bo no doubt that the fires were the work of in- cendiaries. They make four incendiary fires of the kind within a few blocks of each ether in three weeks.

About the same lime the two fires occurred, ;i third was set on Oak Street, but wan extinguished without a general alarm.

REV. MIL MOORE AT THE BOSTON

THEATRE. A CEY OF FIBE.—Rev. J. B, Moore, of tbe Unitarian church, lo this city, conducted the tenth religious service of the fourth course at lha Boston Theatre on Sunday evesskat. These meetings are always crowejed, and the building will seat about three thousand persons; they have been held winter "Sunday evenings for four yesrs,and thousands have attended them wbo never dreamed of entering a church. The text waa the 17th Terse of the 17th chan- ter of Luke:

"And Jesus answering, said, Were there not ten cleansed ? But where sre the nineP"

, The Boston Journal says: "In commencing, the speaker alluded

to the time when Jesus was about entering tbe city of Jerusalem, followed by an excited, curious and eager crowd of fieople, and was approached by ten epers, wbo lifted their hands beseeching

him to save them, as a drowning man would cling to a straw, and when he saw their need, their faith nnd ability In him, bo cured them by a word. Ten despised nnd forsaken men were thus transformed by the power of God in Christ to powerful and healthy men, with the privileges and blessings of social life restored, and the doors of society, from which they had long been debarred, again opened, and yet only one out of the ten remembered the friver of these blessings and came back to thank him. And whon Jesus, in looking upon 11n' gratitude displayed by this man, rebuked the other nine, ho but sent this rebuke to nine-tenths id' the human rnce, for not more than one in ten appreciated the blessings and happiness they were permitted to enjoy enough to how down in thanks to QtJd.

He did not menu to any tlmt only one in ten were grateful, but Ihey neglected to express their thanks to Ciod by giving utterance to their feelings. There was no sentiment of the soul thnt could hot anil should not be expressed, for all thoughts and motives needed communication with God. (Jratitude to <Jod was the first principle we should learn, and gratitude and expression was a duty we should always perform. One great difficulty was that most men keep their acknowledgments nnd gratitude for great events, instead of rendering praise to God for tho ordinary and dally blessings of life, but it our faith was clear we needed no reminder or eur obligation to Him.

Many men wbo wore tolling through life soeniod to think thnt unless the rou- tine of every day life wns broken by some special interposition of God, they were under no obligation to thank Him, but when they experienced a severe affliction they were brought near to God. There was no necessity of our wafting for urgent needs before wo acknowledged our gratltitdo to God, for there was not a step in life which did not give us cause to thank Him. And yet not one In ten remembered to thank Him for health until the boon was gone, and how few there were who appreciated their oppor- tunities in life, or the knowing how to use them. The fact that Jesus did good that he might inspire a recognition In others, was then dwelt upon in nn ablo manner, and it was claimed that it was the grent characteristic of true religion. The world was full of over burdened, sad nnd discouraged onus, which n word would food, or n smile inspire, nnd It was the duty of all to benefit them, and imitate tho example of Christ."

When the discourse was about half through a panic was created among tho audience, which, had it not been promptly checked, must havo produced disas- trous results. It seems that a policeman had occasion to remove a young man from tho family circlo for unbecoming conduct, and in so doing some one among his friends raised the cry of " Fire."

The audience, wbo wore deeply interested In the remarks ofthe speaker, were unaware that anything unusual had occurred until this much dreaded sound burst upon their ears, when a rush for tbe doors was made. The police force on duty, knowing what thu conse- quences must he nmid suoh excitement. Immediately closed tho doors, and upon being assured by those in the hall who had remained perfectly calm that there was no danger, many of them resumed their seats, and the preacher was allowed to finish without further interruption. Much credit is due to tbe members of the police and others who checked the stampede, for at the time it occurred every sent In tho building was fllled, and mnny people must have been crushed If it hnd not been prevented.

SOUTHERN UATII-TAKIN<J.—A gentle man wlio has been n good deal fn the south afnee tbe war, nud who knows southern sentiment and character pretiy well, records the following observation, as to tho worth of the oaths of loyalty Imposed upon cx-rebels — speaking in general terms:

One of tho most singular pcrversf- of human nature is the disregard for

eaths which pervades the south. The taking of nn oath to support the Consti- tution of the United Slates is regarded as lightly aa accepting tin invitntion to drink. 'Ironclad oaths,' specially devised to more thoroughly bind Hint which forms the basis of renuwed allcjrinnco are but so many * unconstitutional' triv- lulties which no white man It hound n> respect.

The consequence is that ihouaandsof wlilto rebels who fought undertint 'slurs aud burs,' and who would gladly take up arms against the government again, are voters in the southern slates. Such men are those who support iho Conserv- ative tickets, for tho most part. The ex-rebel leaders tench (his docirittc to their deluded lollowcnt. To lake nn 'unconditional Yankee*oath is no per- jury. It I* but political oppression ami devoid of moral force. Is it. then, tiny wonder that Congress, appreciating Ihls plain fact, seeks by special legfsTntloa for tho reconstruction of such HUIICS at Georgia to retain the power in the band! of the truly loyal people, rather than al low U to pass by perjnrjf into the hand of tho ex-rebel."

sockt-t, end Providence, is meeting with it very general support, and the petition

to tli" legislature tins, we understand,

ilrewdy It loDff list of name!" from Mils

city. It Is proposed to run over thi)

prtjswnt truck of tho Lowell and l.aw-

KltM road to Tewksbury; from that

point a new lino is to be built, through

Concord to Ashland, A lively manufac-

turing place, on tbo Hoston and Worces-

ter road, beyoDil FramiugliHiii, thence to

Millonl, where It connoota with a lino

already built to Providence. It is claimed

that, beelde Ite directness as a passenger

to our city, in opening :i new rottto tor

heavy lieigbt, avoiding the changes of

cars in Huston, or Ibe lotuid-about slow-

Several petitions have already been sent

to tbo Legislature In its favor, and others

ntv to follow.

PBOTKCT PuitLic BUILDINGS.—The

burning of tho town hall In Webster in

this state by which u loss of 9U000 was

sustained, Is suggestive of what may be

the fate of our own public buildings

which aro far from being as much pro- |

tectcd ns they should and stilly could be. j

For Instance, supposing tlmt a lire should

break out In the City Hall at night. The I

polleenieu cannot well be a'lout there more than oneu In au hour or half hour.

and then he pays no particular attention

to the building u« be lias enough to do

elsewhere. When discovered be must go

all the way lo the corner ol Lawrence and

Essex street to give the alarm. The fire-

men and horses moat |be awakcuetl, the

former dresved and the latter harnessed,

■twn il to be got up, aud tbe engines

got to the lire. Ir would be very quick

work to accomplish all this in fifteen or

twenty minutes and yet directly across

the street U a hydrant from which a

powerful stream oonld be thrown on by

my one who discovered lh« lire. In two

ninnies, were the necensnrv appliances

iindsiicd ami Inatrt eilou given.

Th<' promptness with which it stream

from n hydrant, should admonish lie of

the felly of virtually throwing away Dili

grand protection when we Imvu It at our

doors. Our firemen uud their apparatus

all that it lire department could be

for promptness and efficiency, but that

N no reason why we should not take all

the chances lor safety. The same coidd

bo said In reference lo the valuable Court

House. High School and Oliver Grammar

School. The Police Rulldlng Is supplied

with hose. It would involve but A small

expense to allow the Chief F,nglneer the

meiins lo curry out this Idea, an I il Is

somewhat strange that the proprietors of

churches and largo establishments who

hftve a hydrant within reach, do not

make similar prevision. If tho precau-

tion spoken of was adopted the city could

safely drop the heavy burthen of paying

insurance and Insure its own buildings.

The City Hall on Wednesday evening was filled with tho usual crowd, to listen to the White lecture delivered by George Wm. Curtis, Esq., editor of Harper's Weekly. < iver a hundred persons, some of them ladies, stood up during the entire kcturc. Tho feeling in favor of enlarging the building is growing rapidly stronger among the people. Tho subject of the address was "Our national folly," "Tbo civil service," and Its drift was to show the evil of appointing mutt to office under the government solely on account of their services to tiieir party without regard to qualification.

Tho lecture of Mr. Curtis was smooth, flowing and easy and was well received, though not with the enthusiasm of his previous effort* in this city.

Tax MKCHASICS' IMSTITUTE,—An at-

tempt was made in this city some time

since to organize a literary and scientific

institution with the above name, but tiie

effort (ell to tbe ground. About *!"■'-

was paid in by members und the ex-

penses have been from {ill to $:K>. As

soon rfs a, meeting can be called by the

presiding officer, who is absent from the

city much of tho time, the funds on

hand will bo disposed of as tho society

may decide and tho association dis-

banded.

ACCIDKST.—On Monday nftcrnoon, as

three sons of Mr. Robert Christie, de-

signer on the Washington, residing at

No. I, Union-street, went playing in the

yard adjoining lhe house. John K.,ngcd

of stairs into the collar, his heat) coming

In contact with the sharp edge ol' one of

the steps. |)r. Chose, happening to lie

in the house at the Unto, hearing the

shriek, ran out and picked up tbe little

fellow, who was insensible, and carried

him Into the house ; hu still lies in n dan-

gcrons state, internal injuries being

reared, as, snvlng a slight cut on the

right side of the head, no Injuries are

visible; the doctor is of opinion, how-

ever, that he will recover.

A GAY AXI> FKSTIYI XttiitT.—There

were three gny and lively parties on !

Wednesday evening. The largest was ati

Music Hall. It. was got up by the Dyer

Brothers and A|r. Walter Howe, aud

some forty couples ol young people ac-

quainted with each other were in attend-

ance, and bail a very pltasaut time,

l'fefierkorn's Band furnished the music.

At the armory of Company K, h: the

1'ollce Building, the masons had a very

fine party of some thirty-live couples, and

tho usual social, pleasant, family time j

was cnJDycd. Carney & Osgood's Band j

were lit attendance. The next masonic

party will be held at the same place ]

Wednesday evening, Feb. »th.

At the llnltery Armory on Ifaverhlll

street, there wus a very sociable gather-

ing of boys aud tlndr lady friends, num-

bering some thirty couples. They danced

to the music of (lark A Beely's Baud,

and had n grand good time, ns they al-

ways do. Their next patty will be given

on Wednesday evtiiiiij next. Neither of

TUB DKditAUATios OF OUR POLIOS.

We doubt It the records of nny city out-

side of New York show such a shame-

ful prostitution of public interests to

pnrtizan purposes ns Mayur Molvin's

degrading selections for our police force,

and, In the face of public indignation,

tho appointment of notoriously unfit and

iIU-KIUpdeni. partisans still goca on.

Among Mayur Mclvin's appointments

for police ollicers last week, to enforco

the laws and preserve order, waa that of

Alexander Terio, whose qualifications

for this poaltlon,—aside from being a

good Democrat,—is presented aa fol-

lows from the records of tho Lawrence

Potloa:— COMMONWEALTH U*. AI.KX. TEKIO.

April 16,1860,—Keeping liquor nuisance.

■Inly 2J, i860,—Aiding prisoner in attempt to escape from an officer.

March 26,1868,—Attending illegal games on tho Lord's Day.

(let. Ill, 18b8,—Assault on an officer.

Jan'y *0th. 1H70,—Appointed police officer by Mayor Melvln!

And with this record, notoriously

known to every policeman,—except,

possibly, the newly Imported chief from

Maine,—Mayor Melvln defiantly thrusts

such a creature Into the position of guar-

dian •!' law ami public morals, and the

reputation of our city must boar the

shame anil tho disgrace.

THE i'EABouv ruNEiiAi..—Those who

desire to see a naval funeral procession

OaD take the cars at the South Side, Fri-

day, either ut H.2.") A. M. or 12..">7 f, si.,

lor Portland* The remains will bu

brought from the ship at It A. M., Satur-

day. It M a sight seldom witnessed.

There will be another funeral demon-

stration on Tuesday.

A NEW HOUSE ON COMMON STREET.—

The foundation for a new house for

Alanson llriggs, K*q., 1ms been com-

menced on the vacant lot on Common

street, just east of the Second BapUat

church. It will ho a. »oat, two-story

frame building, cottage style, and end

to tho street. The location is very con-

venient.

WHO STOLE HIE BABKKI. OE WHIS-

KEY from the premises of onu of our

city fathers, on Wednesday night, is tho

question which the residents of Elm at.

are rather pointedly asking both tho vig-

ilant night watch and the lynx-eyed

keeper.

TtiEASl-'itEn SI-INNER.—The veteran of-

ficial of the Cnlted States money depart*

uient. has our thanks for a copy of his annual report.

COAl. IN HOSTON.—A retail dealer In

Boston advertises steamboat coal at

17.60; Egg |M.;,0; Furnace $8.00; and

Slove ?--..".

MATTERS AT THE 1'MNON.—There are now eighty-two prisoners in tho House of

Correction, of whom sixteen aro females.

One ol the latter has just commenced

her thirteenth term for drunkonness and

vagrancy. Several aro of the claes con-

templated for the Bridgewntcr institu-

tion. They aro seldom out ol the House

of Correction for more than a week at a

time, finding it entirely impossible to re.

slst the temptation to get drunk. When

in that condition, they generally make

great disturbance and trouble wherover

they happen lo bo, by screaming, howl-

ing and shouting in tho moat profnne

and indecent manner. Even if any of

thorn lio down in tho street and go qui-

etly to sleep, it will not do to lot thei

stay there. We aro not nwaro that more

than one of this class has been sent to

Bridgewntcr ns yet.

Tho labor of the men wus on hriday

l.i-i let to the highest bidder, for throo

years, by tho prison commissioners.

Capt. Ceo. W. Boynton, of Georgetown,

bid 20 1-8 conta per man per day, and

tho contract was awarded to him. Them

were two bids of 20 cents each and ont

of 17 cents. Tho contract run? fron:

Feb. dst. One of the parties was from

Lynn. Uo proposed to mamifactur

shoos with their labor with sowing in

chinos. •

Thero are twenty prisoners In jail, two

of whom are awaiting farther examina-

tion in the 1'olice Court, and sixteen

to bo tried In the Superior Court, now in

session in Salem. Ono of tho other two

Is Capt. Warren Gardner, sentenced last

August by tho U. S. Court for four years

for sinking his vessel to recover insur-

ance, and tho other is Isaac Martineau,

sentenced Jan. 1MH9, for four years, for

passing counterfeit money. O'BnldwIn

tho giant prize fighter, is far from being

tho quiet person supposed. The bull-

dog is strong In his composition, and It

has been necessary to give him it dose of

solitary confinement to onlorco disci,

pliuo. IBs friends nro actively at work

attempting to secure a pardon.

COMMON COUNCIL.—President Davis

presided Wednesday evening, Councilman

O'Sulllvnn was absent. Tho appointment

of measures were concurred In. A com-

tnunlcalloH from tho Mayor suggesting a

reduction of other approprlwtlons suffi-

ciently to equal the $8000 appropriation

for tho Atlantic Engine House was placed

on flic. The sub-committee on accounle

reported that of the city treasurer accu-

rate and well kept. Counclluieii Cate,

Conch and Wheelwright were appointed

on the committee on drainage west of

Broadway. Adjourned two weeks.

As EXCELLENT AHRANOEMENT.—M

Floyd, the accommodating jauitor of tho

City Hall, on Wednesday evening,

opened tho doors on tho Common Street

side of tho hall, and many who dttcor-

ercd that mode of egress passed out that

way to the street. It is ono of the

strangest facts possible that these doors

have not been previously opened for

years, il ever.

SCHOOL COMMITTEE ELECTION. Tho

Board of Aldermen, and nine of the

School Committee, mot In convention

filling a vacancy in the committee In

Thursday to answer to the charge of doing

bunliiess without a license. A large por-

tion of those compelled tu go down had

licenses and produced them. It Is said

that the court was very much vexed at

these mistakes, but that did not pay the

expenses ol those who were not delin-

quent. It Is but Justice lo the revenue ol-

licers here to say that they had nothing

whatever to do In the matter.

VERY NASTY.—The crossings on Essex

street were in au excessively bad con-

dition on Thursday, being inches deep

with liquid mud. The fine couiiteim

of the street commissioner or some of his

men would have been an agreeable sight

that afternoon to a great many ladles and

gentlemen who wanted to cross. The

slate of things made them cross.

ANOTHER KOHBKBY.—Oue of tbe most frequented stores In tbe most public part

of Essex Street was robbed n day or two

since of a box In which the proprietor

kept his scrip. Fortunately hut three

lour dollars were In the box,though there

Is usually much more. It Is impossible

to say how often such cases are occur-

ring, as they are only heard of by accl

dent.

DISAITOI.NTMENT.—N. G. WhitO.Esq.,

of tbe White lecture committee, an-

nounced on Wednesday cveniug that

Paul du Chaillu, the great African ex-

plorer, who had been engaged through

tho medium of ltedpath's Lyceum

Agency, in Boston, had broken his en-

gagement, and that Dr. Lord, of Boston,

had been substituted tu deliver tho lost

lecture. It will bo upon some historical

subject. Tho defection of Mr. Chaillu

will be greatly regretted, ns our people

wero particularly anxious to look upon

the great traveller who discovered tho

gorilla villages. Tho blame should Tall

heavily somewhere, but certainly not

upon Mr. White, who has worked ear-

nestly to please tho public.

THE BOHAPABTH HOMICIDE.—The

Paris correspondent of the Boston Jour-

nal thus speaks of the funeral of Victor

Noir, slnin by Prince Pierre Bonaparte,

a relative of the Emperor of the French:

Tho Prince is In the prison where Troppman has latoly lain ; and a decroe In tho official journal announces that said Prlnco will bo tried by a high court, chosen from the counselors-gen oral of" all tho departments. The day of Wednesday dawns dark and gloomy; it is announced that the funeral of Noir will take place ntNoullly, nt noon. Tho majority of tho shops on tho Boulovnrds nro closed, and as early as nine o'clock processions of workmen appear in all the principal streets, marching toward Nenilly, which is a suburban town just outside- tho Pnris fortifications, not far from tho Bois do Boulogne. It is tho paternal mansion from which the funeral cortcgo Is to march. All tho workshops and factories in tho Faubourg; Snint An- toine are closed, and every workinnn wears in his button-hob a white Immor- telle, such as ono sees In all French cem- eteries. The crowds thicken, incrcaso; toward the Champs Elysecs a regiment of soldiers marches away, drums beating sonorously, to join other regiments mussed in tho Bois do Boulogne, Tho rain falls pitilessly; but the crowds re- lent not. By noon the huge, wide streets of beautiful Neuilly are crammed. Processions of students march solemnly forward and deposit contributions lo buy a monument. No police in uniform aro to be seen. The workmen are to have their own way. Tho father of Victor Noir has expressly requested that no violence bo used. But tho workmen are not alono. All tho middle class of Paris is on foot, sullen, quiet, mourning, this youth, dead two days ago by more chance, (as his fellow would havo boon shot Instead of Noir had he answered the Prince's last question) is taken as tho typo of the nation's condition—freedom, slain by imperial power—say sonio—and fully two hundred thousand people strug- SIo for places near his gravo. Many of

io deputies of tho Left are present, and mingle freely in tho crowd, followed by processions Binging the old revolutionary songs. Paris and its environs have not resounded to such strains before for 22 years!

The excitement was wonderful to witness, but all struggled bravely to keep it down. Thousands of peoplo had stood along the same lino of march for six hours, so ns to bo where they could east flowers upon tho coffin. Women fainted in the press, or wept from excess of emotion, and tho comments upon the murder were such aa chilled tbe blood. At one timo, when blocked Into a crowd before the cemetery gate, I thought tho epoch of madness had come, I never before heard such molediction upon u dynasty.

Toward four o'clock, tho old guardian of the little cemetery struggled through the crowd, and opened the great gate. Down the avenue, amidst silent thousands, and a storm of immortelles, marched sixteen bare-headed men, brother journalists of young Noir, bearing on their shoulders tho bier. At their head walked Itochcfort, pale and resolute. It required gome courage to carry out this demonstation, as the least government interference would have been lollowed by a wild riot, aud certain death to the Republican leaders.

Itochcfort, says tho llain>el, fainted at tho grave, overcome by anxiety and emotion. Tho Fates pusn him so hard his unture gives out. It is not surprising. Vengeance bad been sworn over lhe body in the most emphatic, and, I dare say, unchristian manner. Paul Mcnrice.ltnspail, Gambetta, Jules Favre, and dozens of uoticoable heads were seen in tho press behind tho coffin, Tho brother of Noir besought the crowd to utter no unconstitutional cries, and nothing worse than Vivo Kochefort rent the air. Tbe wild speeches at the grave gave rise to no riots; tho people inarched home in a solid body, singing Houget do risle's tnniotis air, and in the evuniug all was still.

THE BOSTON GAMUI.EUS.— The "for-

eign police" have not only squelched sev-

eral gambling houses lu Boston, but a

detail has watched places where gam-

bling has notoriously been carried on,

and all"ropers In" ol victims have been spotted. Many green horns have been

forcibly prevented liotn entering the

houses, where they are sure to be rubb.td.

The city police authorities have instrnct-

ed the State Constable haters to say that

they were "Just a going to."

TIIK PANIC AT THE BOSTON THEATRE.

The Boston Herald has n slightly different version of the affair of Sunday eve-

ning. It says; "During the delivery of

the sermon, a police officer saw u pick-

pocket In the Family Circle, and went to

remove him from the theatre, when some

of his "pals" raised a cry oI tire, and for

a few minutes there was quite a paiile

among the crowded congregation, but by

the presence of mind of (he clergymen

and the activity of the jtollce oivduty It

was sown stopped without any one being

Injured, nnd the services proceeded, but

unfortunately the scoundrel who raised

the alarm escaped.

THE MASONIC ASSEMBLIES.—The hrst

of tho second course of the Masonic

assemblies which afforded so much

pleasure to those who attended tbo first

course, will be held at the same place,

tho armory of Co. K, in the police build-

ing, on Wednesday ovening of this week,

They aro most emphatically family gath-

erings, those who attend them being

masons and tholr families or friends, and

thero is a pretty general average of

ages. It is very difficult to see how tho

most rigid and conscientious ceuld objoct

to dancing parties of this characte:

Carney & Osgood's band furnish the

music. The two next parlies will be

Feb. Dtli and Fob. 2Sd.

THE "FoitRt'iN POLICE.'*—A Boston pa-

per says that by tliH energy of tho State

Police who have been "quartered" upon

the people of that city, as Melvln has It,

the gambling fraternity have met with

severe "reverses,and hopes that tbe parties

who have come to grief through (dying

this nefarious trade will turn their talents

to better use aud exercise them in a more

reputable calling. It Is presumed how-

ever that Mayor Melviu will refine to be

comforted "while the state chooses to

hold ns under lhe surveillance of this

foreign police" though he "will submit

with the best grace he can" to the "BII-

no.vlng espionage." It seems that some

others will also be compelled to submit

with the best grace f/n>;/ can. In Wew

York the "respectable" gentry referred

to ore In nearly as bad a plight from

another cause. A paper of that city says:

'Hard limes have at last reached the gamblers, and they have found it severe work of late to dupe the inoet unsophisti- cated. They are now striving lo sell out their separate shares lu the business. TliU dullness In trade Is not confined lo lliespaclouaMfotw, lhe alldeil hells frequented by ilic merchant, lhe 'sport,' the hanker and broker, but it extends to tho small den* lu llcckinun and Spruce streets. Where lhe printer, (he mechanic nnd laborer, playing their 'ten cent chips' week after week, sink their hard-earned wages.1

ST. MART'S CIILRCH.—The work upon

the Interior of this magnificent structui Is steadily progressing, aud though the

labor does not show much at present, a

great deal has been done and the opera,

tions have been of a most dangerous and

difficult character, such as sheathing and

furring at a great height. The outline ef

the ninny guthle arches within arc t

observable and It becomes more and

more evldout that-the Insido of this grand

taberuacleMvllI rival that of tbe outer por-

The whole will be a feast lor the admir- ers of line architecture.

FARE KEDUCEU TO CALIFORNIA.—The

new rates of fare recently went into op-

MORE UOBHKBIES.—On Friday night

an overcoat of some value was stolen

from the store or Foster & Pirkor, cloth-

ing dealers, at the lower pnrt of tho

south side of Hssox street.

Within a night or two of that theft, a

pair of pants wero stolen from tho cloth-

ing store of Mr, J. M. Fnirileld, on Es-

sex street, near Lawrence, It is said

that Mr. Melvln's new appointee was

talking with the proprietor at the time

the fellow nabbed them.

Thieves have got so tint they carry

off anything but a hot stove, nnd even

those willsoon have lobe fastened down.

A housokeepcr on Common street, re-

cently lost her swill, barrel and all.

PRESENT TO A MUSIC TEACHER.—Mr.

Reuben Merrill, the. well known teacher

seal ring and a set ol gold sleeve buttons.

They were obtained at Ibe celebrated es-

tablishment of Palmer &, Batehelder in

Boston, and the value of them was not

far from 8(10. Mr. Merrill is an apt and

able Instructor asd is the right man In

the right place, and what is better, he

thoroughly enjftys his occupation.

A NOVEL FESTIVAL.—A festival some-

what novel in its character was arranged

to come off on Tuesday night of this

week, nt the Unlversalist vestry, but

owing to the miserable state of tho

walks it was thought best to postpone It

to next week, Wednesday evening. Tho

idea was to provide about one hundred

and fifty bows (not beaux) of ribbon of

various patterns, calico and other mate,

rial, and insert a piece of each bow in

an envelope which wns to be sold at a

"post office" in the room. The pos-

sessor of each ot these specimens was

expected to hunt up the lady wearinj

the bow of that particular pattern. The

result of the discovery is not stated. It

is presumed, however, that all thingi

proving eligible, tho lucky "erfinityU

could have tho privilege of paying tho

supper bill for both if he chose, and the

supper is a very nice ono. Tho hunting

is pretty sure to produce a great deal of

amusement. Notwithstanding tho un-

favorable weather, quite a Inrge compa-

ny were gathered Tuesday night, anil

"Copenhagen" flourished among tho

young people, and "blind man's huff""

among those mero advanced. Tho lat-

ter fame wns to pin n handkerchief on

tho wall, and sec how straight tho blind-

folded ones uouidnH go for it.

THE MONADNOCK COURSE.—Tho first

of the set of assemblies held by lhe Mo-

nadnock Lodge ol Odd Fellows at Music

Hall, came off on Monday evening. Some

thirty-live gentlemen were present though

but twenty-eight ladies could be mus-

tered, that is, iIn'-.' that took part lu the

dance. The company was a very fine

ono and It was a most agreeable party

of young Indies und gentlemen. Carney

& Osgood supplied the motlvo power for

the feet of the dancers through the medi-

um of their ears. Scarcity of ladles Is a

rare difficulty In this city of the fair sex,

and another party will uoublless witness

a majority, and u much larger gathering

generally. Tbe next one takes place

next Monday.

THE BATTERV PARTIES.—The Battery

boys havo their second party at their

m-ii-inl and roomy armory, on Wednes-

day evening next. It is tbe second

course of tbe seuson. Excellent music

Is always provided, and none who attend,

fall to have a good time.

" Soon " WEATIIKK.—Tho weather is

still the chief topic. This having May

In January, though, is a doubtful bless

ing, and many think it something clso

in disguise. Sunday uight was fairly,

mean, muddy, moist and miserable, with

just rain enough to put church goers in

terror for their new hats and bonnets,

but so little that umbrellas were super-

fluous; overcoats wero oppressive, but

it was dangorous to go without one, and

fires the same. The frost came out of

tho ground, and tho travelling, where

no sidewalks fitted lo lhe emergency

had been provided, were in n soil and

sweet condition. Of course it is of no

use to growl about the weather, but it is

some satisfaction to pour out grievances

into sympathizing ears. m »»*■*

THE TENTH ANMVKUSAIIY of tlic wedding of Major Etna Button and Mi*» Mary Ilas- t'l.'ui I., was i.i.ilf the occasion of a uolijue and brilliant assembly ut Stevens' Ball, on Friday evening last, tiieir atanv Mends uuiiing tu render it emphatically u sinning affair. Every prepHintion that liberality could suggest, liail been mudo Inr.llit! tvciiii:n',s enjoyment, and u more smiling romnany coald not ba natlicred together. Loii;; before tbe liour of evutiioR,

umcrou* packages of mysterious form,—long. and short, large and small, Hat anil round, thick tun! tbin,— but all carefully concealed from view, weru delivered at ibe ball, tbe gifta of many friends, who latsr gathered to tender

gratulalions anil good wishes to the e*- teemed recipients,—und when the guests began

convene, the spacious tablet at either side of tho hall were crowded with inch a display of wedding gifts us it rarely falli'th to mortal

io behold, while the recesses of the wln- s were'ndorned with a variety of the larger

and more elaborate works of art and virtu, lor a parallel to,wlilili the chronicles of ail histoiy may be seacrbed in vain.

No common gift* were these, ur of the ordU nary baser materials, tint with a careful ouserv. anru it! tbe ancient tradition* connected with such nwtrverurle*, every ankle was of tho purest and brightest of metals, over tho bril- Honey nnd extent of which, tbe heart of a Rev- enue AcscBsor would have throbbed with new delight. In judicious consideration or tbe military position of lhe Major, there was an out- fit of armor anil tl]UlpuKHttl patting ancient heraldry to shame| the sword, some seven Teet In length, might have proved cumbersome to Oolinh of Oath, while the shield would have sheltered even the Cardiff ginnt; several other swords there were, of lesser dimensions, huts, spurs, nml belts, while of musical Instruments, ■ulhelcnl were displayed to lit out tho orebes- Ira of the routing New York nonaWr musicalc, or a regiment of "water fowl" merchants for Friday's grand rounds. With an eye to lessen Ing the ladle's labor in the cure of the parlor conservatory, omf'frlend Bad furnished a miniature watering pot, which stood ulono in one corner of tho hall, with u capacity of only three barrels, the sprinkler being or tbe tUo of a small wagon wheel. A finely constructed, t In HI .T!I delicate nuor, was displayed,-It should have been provided with a glass case to protect from dust,—with a blade only 47 Inches In length, and 4 3-4 «ln width,-at the point, while near It was an Indian tomahawk—from Its appearance evidently one of the old relics found along the banks of the Merrimark.

A mammoth clock, with tin case, tin dial, tin hands,—tin everything,—surmounted by the emblematic American bird of victory, of such dimensions as would awaken tlic most joyou< emotion In tbo heart of a patriot on election night;—Its face,—the clock, not tbe ronstor,— lu'iiiiii..'.- a certificate of its manufacture, and Iti adjustment to beat and cold, IsoehroDlsm and position ; an original picture by a home artist, peculiarly suggestive,—tbe picture, not painter,—of smiles, and in a gorgeous tin frame; an elaborately carved paper fan, attached to a bracelet set with tho choicest gems; coffeo pots with nozzles of such length as to hold more fluid than the vessel Itself; graters, which would be a fortune to any cool screening company, and a quarter thousand other articles, of rare and artistic workmanship, lilua tratlng the ingenuity of tbe donors and the wonderful extent to which the metal can be made useful, ornamental and curious.

As the guests arrived, tbey wero presented to Major and Mrs. Sutton by the gentlemanly ushers, and cordially greeted, and at an early hour, to the ever excellent music of Upton*! Band, dancing commenced, the ball, with tbe bright faces, tbo brilliant toilets and the evident, universal enjoyment, being radiant with mirth and beauty. Soon after eleven, came an Intermission, with a visit to the tables in the

lower hall, where, under the supervision of that prlnco of catercri, Cassefl, of Salem, a banquet was prepared, which in elegance, taste fulness, variety and richness was Iruly regal, tho aump- tuousness of the viands dividing admiration with the charming display or rich ware and beautiful mid fragrant flowers, eliciting warm est commendations of the generosity of tho hosts, no less than the skill and taste of tbo catorcr; more elegant tables we surely do not remember to havo seen.

After tho repast, a* the guests wero re.assem- Uiiig, a new legion of honor, clad in the fear ful panoply of war, and gorgeonity equipped from tbe arsenal newly stocked by tbe git'ti of the evening.undcr command of field Marshal Ingalls, preceded by a detachment of Gideon' Band, entered the bail in grand procession, aa after astonishing tbo company with the glory of their weapons and wonderful evolution:

Dancing wns again resumed, and kept up till a late, or early hour, concluding with tbo mazy mysteries of the German. Tbe o slon, in every respect, was one of real enjoyment, and the fair twain, to whose efforts tbe quiet village Is so much Indebted for social a\l- vancement, have tbe heartiest wishes or all, for their continued happiness, through many more tuch i ci ins of wedded lite.

During the four year's residence of Mr C. In this city, he has won boat* of friends, not only among his own congregation, but throughout tho city, and many will deeply regret that the step he haa taken in regard to hi* denomina- tional views will niska it necessary for him to seek a. now Add or labor, and especially will bis loss be felt by bis own congregation and society, with whom he has labored so earnestly and successfully. Sineo the church has been under the charge of Mr. Chaddock, It has received a much larger incrcaso of membership than at any previous corresponding length of time, its religious and social affairs havo been all that could be desired, and lu financial matters arc in a flourishing condition.

There is scarcely a bettor or more convenient and accessible neighborhood in tbe limits of the city. On Bradford street there have been many lint class houses erected in tbe block, or very near It, and on Concord street tbe new Presbyterian church I" In process or erection, tbe cellar wall being nearly completed. There will doubtless he a brisk demand fur the property as soon as It Is ready for disposal.

Tho U. E.

The Festival vu a saccess, and $170.1.1 Is the net profits. Among tbe number present we notice the Hon. M.T Stevens and lady, and they patronized our tables pretty liberally ■ Excuse me a few lines more while we return thanks fo the merchants on Essex St. Lawrence, who were so liberal to our ladles who solicited at tides for tbe festival, and hope they will be able to do much good for many years to come C.T.

MINIMI CHAN a us.—Tho crazy beads who believe in mining, accomplish great changes in a very short time. The following la only a sickening repetition ef tbo folly of mankind, and Is tbe history of almost every gold and ■liver mining town in California and Nevada; It refers to the White Fine Silver District In Nevada:

From the most violent excitement and extravagant honea everything hat dropped down to the extreme of dullness. Unimproved real estate, which one year ago was held at inordi- nate prices, can now be had in many cases for the taking, few caring to go to the expense of a deed or to expose themselves to pay taxes upon it. Ai a consequence many holders of this species of property who. twelve months ago, were supposed to be rich, to-day nnd themselves poor. Many who could have left the country rich, had they disposed of their town lots last winter or spring, are now too much Impoverished to get away from tbe place Even stores and bnsiness placet, unless eligibly situated, aro scarcely worth contending for, rents having declined in nearly the tame ratio aa the prices of real ettate.

Storet that readily commanded monthly rents of $500 ten or twelve montht ago, can now be had for $100, the price of choice lots having fallen in equal proportion. A year ago hay was telling at $250 per ton; lumber, beat quail ty, $800, second quality, $300 per si feet; wood $20 per cord; barley $20 per loo pounds; box stoves, IT5; common cooking atovet, SMQ; applet, SO cents per pound; poultry, 7.1 cents to $1 per pound; the prices of all Imported goods being in tho tame proportion; only those obtained from tbe Mormon settlements being comparatively lower. Now hay can be bought far $4.'. per ton; lumber, $50 to $100 per M; wood, 97 per cprd; barley, $6 per 100 ponndt, and other artlclea above mentioned for about one-fourth of their former cost. Miners' wages from 93 per day have fallen to 91, many being glad to work for $3. Masons, carpenters, and other mechanics, whose services command-

ed from $0 to 9>0 per day last springe have scarcely any demand, common labor being abundant at almost any prlco tbe employer chootet to name.

TIIK STATE POLICE. — The Boston

Couiiuoii.viia.l.i plvcs some undoubtedly

correct iratenientt, in regard to tbe eftl-

ctency of lite State Constabulary. Were It nut lor iu connection with liquor pros-

ecutions its value and ii«e(iilneii would be universally ndmltted. It lius been a

inr greater terror to criminals of every

eriptlon than Hie local police forec.

,-ever efficient, u facilities are given It, which the city nnd town police aro not furnUhed with. No one but an old fogy, oouscrvattve, pull hawk, would desire tu

it abolished except for tlieJUptor law. The Comuioitwealth says:

Wo have known a disorderly house i.i a quiet street of toll city, unbearable by reason of noise and rlultuntl, lo all neighbor*, belli?; put Into the huuds of Ihe Olty'l policemen, and the report mode that It was entirely free from niolestutlwii. It being In tlielr opinion n well conducted establishment, whose whole offense, waa merely parlor-daneln^, which any citizen had a rlj-lit to present at his residence if desired. The same week we have known Hint name house to be visited by the state police, and Its custodians charged la the municipal court with keeping a noisy nnd disorderly house., a brothel, a.id of doln™ business with otitallcense.and the charges have boen both proved and confessed, and the neighborhood at once purged 01 tho nnlsniiec.

Such a cnnli .v.t ns (Ida between Die workings of the two forces Is not singular or unUMial—t reason therefor could bo given If necesBaiy; and It is not surprising that the state police has many friends in consequence. Take the numerous caitcs of house-breaking, burglary, Inceu- diarhm, and other crimes against property. In which the atnte police have been employed, and how few in which they have not won credit! The raids upon gamblliig-housca have been of almost weekly recurrence, and with results of strategy and daring that havu forced admiration from even the heartiest op- ponents In T in- liquor interest. The fact la. the statepollco mean butinct* In their operations. Th»y have no friends to reward, nor enemies to punish—political capital to make, nor positions to retain- by their nets. The force Itself Is, in general, composed of men of grit and nerve, many of whom have been In the militnry service of the country, and ate accu*- tomed to risks ami danger*. They have been worthy of their chief, and tho lorec worthy of the state. In our judgment, it will be an unfortunate day, alike tor Bos- ton and the state, when it is disbanded.

BUHOAT Evawnra LacninEa.—In tho nearly ten years of HOT. Mr. Weaver'i labora In Lawrence, he baa probably done nothing thai baa secured a wider or heartier public approval than the re-delivering of his lectures on '' Moses and Modern Science," by Invitation ofmany of hli [isnplu. Crowded honaea of deeply Interested hearers greet every lecture. Laal Sunday evening waa a greater preen lhan wc liav.t seen befora. The lecture waa on the seventh day of MOM. Tbe lecturer holds that that day Is the bo man era—the dynasty of men—of mind. On that day Hod reeled from bis material creation to which be had been engaged, and devoted himself to Urn creed** and care ol men. lie did not real In the

MUM of being Idle, but of changing from material to spiritual labors. That is the irue test of the Sab- bath for man. Ood's Sabbath continues yet, and will continue forever.

He created man In bis oWu Imago, which maki man a reprcaenlaUon of Clod In Ilia earth, tike Uod In Ihe qualities of hla mind aud affoctlone and perhaps In bla body. Man differ* from Uod In being fluliu, we.it and Ignorant. In kind, hi* mind and Ood'e are alike, differing only lo degree. Tho lecturer found la Uosei'statemonl, tho philosophy or Ood's fatherhood and man's childhood, and brotherhood, a* well as the philosophy of the doe. trine of mati'a Immortality, lho great doctrines afterwards so grandly set forth by tbe Saviour, lie called Moan-'account of the creation, the headspring of the true religion, of sound philosophy and of civilisation.

The next lecture «lll be on the Our den of Kdeo, neat Bunds? evening at S1-2 o'clock. ,

APPROPRIATE.—It is said that at tho exhibition of paintings at the " Academy of Design," in New York, there is a most singular coincidence of names of artists and the subjects of their several works. A reporter of one of tho Now York journals furnishes for the press, tho following list of paintings nnd the artists' names, which shows a very striking re- semblance, worthy of note ;

MOUMON " MISSloX.tltlKS."

■'rom what can he Lathered from the paper* in lho western port of thi* male, it appears promote tliut this section of llie. country or even this city, may he visited by home of lho miserable wretches tent nut by Brigbam Yuunir to endeavor to persuade decent men ami women tn embrace the beastly doctrines of *Ni't Lake City. It U doubtiul if there is any law, except perhaps that of rotten ecua «r ,nr and feathers, to prevent reeruitlng,either (or hou»es of Hi fnmo or the harem of Urigham Young, and iht) hoary headed rascaU who style themselves his " apostles/' and wo have siiiali fears of any success they may meet with omonK ojr inMllkrant and virtuous imputation, hut il is well that our people should know rnnnv mailers couccmiJi£ (he Mormons, should their ruprc- sentntivei eoina here, which may have been :.■!:'.n:.■!! The Eacu are something like these:

Sim- forty years ugo one Spauldln?, who hud been a Presbyterian minister, hut whom illness and poniul insunity bad incupaciatcd (rom active duty, in his .die und insano hours wroie a manuscript soincwhut In imitation Of Scrip- ture language, hut a conglomeration of an lusanu hmla by which no rcunonul>lo or un- prejudiced person could be deceived. By some in.'.in-, ono Joe Smith, a loafing, luzy but Q,uick wilted vagabond contrived to obtain possession of tho manuscript. Ho started the slory that he hud btssn visitad hy an angel who indicated to him a spot somewhere near Syracuse, N. Y-, where some inspired documents were buried; that he went tbero and dug ihcm up; ihntthcy were inscribed on thin plates of tin In an unknown language; that he translated tbem by inspiration; and much other bumbup/. nnd the mnnuscript of tbe craiy preacher was tho result. He did not pretend Ibat any one hut himself ever saw ihe plates, as " they were immediately hidden for fear of Itcing stolen."

It Is difficult to Imagine any possible docirine which could be Invented, but which would llnd some earnest believers among the credulous of mankind. Tho very mystery preserved raised a crowd of adherents, and Joo lived to fat upon their folly. A community was organized, and a selllcment or considerable siza in Nau- voo. Ills., followed. An amiable weakness for in.;-.' stealing, with which tho Mormons wcro aftlictod, caused the Western men lo drive them out, nnd the unlucky Joe waa shot In Jail.

As the community was ton large to disband, another lender, a sbrewd fellow, named Urig- ham Young, more unprincipled 'than even Joe Smith, took the helm, and ibey found themselves at last at Salt 1 :i!.e. Finding that novelty was required to strengthen the "church," Young concluded to have a " revelation," allowing every one of the faithful to have aa many "wives" ai they choose. There were plenty of men sufficiently beastly In their In- stincts and women foola enough to be drawn Into tho arrangement, and this foul blot has been permitted to exist on tho American contl ilent and character for many years.

The Mormon community have always been a lawless, infamous, and rebellious people. 1853 one of tbe "apostles," Parley l'ratt, duced the wife of Capt. Hector klcLean, of the Nicaragua Steam Ship Company, In San Fran cltco. To save her, Capt. McLean sent his wife and her children to New Orleans, to the home of her parents, bo of course paying all expenses of their travel and support- l'ratt reached New Orleans by another route, and Induced Mrs. McLean to fly with him to Salt Lake, and take ber children with her. McLean discovered their flight, and with tho brothers of Mrs. McLean, overtook tho gnllty pair and killed the aposlle on the spot. This aroused Mormon vcagcanee and in the fall of 1S57, a party of one hundred and fifty men, women, aod children from tbe locality of the Pratt homicide, were murdered In cold blood, by Mormons in the guise of In- dians. This outrage aroused all California, to which placo tbe unhappy emigrants were on tbe way- Tho U. S. government officers In Utah did their best to bring the Mormons to justice, but In vain, llrlgham Young called In bis people from every direction, promised tbem that the Lord would rain down Are open the "Gemilcs," and urged a stout resistatico, The wretched crew would have been crushed ont, then and there, bad It not hare been for tbe weak, miserable, pusilanlinous and cowardly Buchanan, then President, who actually bribed Young to allow tbe government troops to enter his dominions. Tho mortification of the regu- lars, and the California volunteers was most intense.

Recently, Bilgham Young, now an old man of seventy, with as many concubines as he it years of age, enormously wealthy from the robbery of tho dupes who believe In him, has again raised the standard of rebellion. He has no dolt like Buchanan to deal with now, but tbe probability li that with all his bluster he has no Intention of nghtlng, and will make all tbe money possible ont of the II. S. troops which may be sent, as avarice Is now his beset- ting vice. It wonld be well for his emissaries to learn of the estimation In which ho and they are held among decent people.

The weather for the past month haa been remarkably mild, tho mean lempcrature of which has Indicated " n heal" of IS degrees. But few morn-

iga have been really cold, and tho common response lo remarks touching It has been " that It aceme like spring." Wc are at a loaa to account for eucb no- usual aspects In our Now Kngland winter, and can but feel that though It may be pleasant to have mild wealher, ye t It Is worse than sold. The absence of snow tends to conQrm us In the Impreaalon that to tho farmer at least, lho present winlor Is unfavora- ble. Much anilely hna been eipreaacd leat the fruit buda might expand during these mild Influen- ces, though It Is ardenlly hoped that this opcrallou will bu duferred till morn auspicious skies provoke tho latent vigor of our cherished orchards. Tbo. earth la full of waler; welts overflowing, rivers full, and abundance of moisture held In slore for the warm winds of Joyous spring to klaa, and exhale Us myriad* of vapory treasure* to bless the coming labors of lho year.

The woodman'* mo haa resounded sto'ndlly among our forosla of pine and hard timber, aud thonsanda of corda of (Ire wood ara In process of conversion to fuel, while numberless hngo logs for mill use attest to the Industry of our sturdy yeoman. Wood and lumber command a good price here, and the lucky poaaeaaor of a wood lot can And bis labors highly remunerative if lie chooteM to out It for market.

Alaska landacspcs were at n discount when compared with the winter glory of Wednesday's sun- rise. Tbe western slope of old Bploket hill presented a display of silvery beauty seldom seen. Every tree, shrub and objective point was touched by tbe Inimitable fingers of Jack Frost, while the rising orb of day peeped over the bill, sending his myriads of brlghl beams to quicken the millions of Ice crystals that encased the torpid earth, and hang upon the swaying trees. It was a beautiful sight.

Lectures at the Depot Village. The Bev. D. C Knowlea, of Lawrence, gave his popular lecture on

'■ Mountain*" to a large and appreciative audience on Wednesday evening, and on the same night al the II. E, church In this village, Bev. Mr. Upham, or Boston, gave a lecture on " Popular Delusions." It would bo vain lo attempt an adequate description of bla address. Hollies It lo say, that It waa a model lecture, and Its composition and delivery bora Ihe Impress of scholarly thought and masterly eloquence. Els allusions to those fond delusions of

miry brains, effecting tbo affairs of re humorously and graphically rendered, much

to the amusement and satisfaction of his auditors ■ho tould to welt appreciate anything so nearly de-

scriptive of our popular delusions. Tho stylo of delivery was excellent, and hla own slmlleof a grand topic In his discourse, would not bo more aptly ployed Ibau to exhibit a parallel of bis own or* leal powers, whose full, hearty rounds of sentences fell apon the our with a resonance and tone like the swir. sweeping surges of a New England coast, while the lulls tn tho tempest of words wero llko Ihe still deep waters, whose bosom alono shows the conscious motion of Ite latent, subdued energies. We regard these lectures aa a great advantage to our community, placing within oar reach the varied gifts Of gifted men, and opening opportuniUca for profltable education and Intelligence. Tbe slngtag by tbe choir was a pleasing feature of the occasion and Ihe noticeable excellent voices engaged, led by Uherica .Smith, Esq., of Avers Village, made up a mtlangt or inualo which waa well worth the price of admission.

1'KIKCK ARTIICR.—AS It Is very proba-

ble that Prince Arthur William Patrick

Albert, third son of Victoria Queen *>f Qntal llrltatu, may visit the Lawrence

mills, we give the following froma New Vork letter:

11 The prince arrived in New Vork from Canada and was received at the depot by Edward Thornton, Esq., the British Min- ister, an elderly man with Iron-grey Dake of Wellington whiskers, and ether official gentlemen. Prince Arthur was accompanied by Col. Elphlnstoae and Lieut*. Packard and Filz Hoy. Immedi- ately upon the itoppage uf the elegant drawing room car, Mr. Thornton went aboard and then returned t* the platform, ai'i-onipaNietl hv HI* Royal Highness, who was drensed in a light brown overcoat, with a velvet collar, black pants, a l.'.nl Stanley scarf and pin. light kid gloves, and a black silk hat of the latest mode. He carried a cane, and Inatead nl having a soldierly bearing he stooped like a -iii.l.-i i. His face was fresh and roay, with lull lips, largo blue eyes and a prop of straw colored mutton-chop whlsk- era, which matched his hair. Ilia none I- curved, and he bore* striking resem- blance to hif brother, the Prince of Wale*, when in this country ten years

Cu.IKOKXIA MATTRH.S.—The leading business men of California who hitterly opposed the adoption of greenbacks during the war, when they could have. aided the government by adoptiug, am now moving strsmgly In favor of it. They liml that they cannot compete with Baatern states if they stick to their exclusive specie currency. Taxes are now required to be paid in gold.

The new police judge In San Francisco tries drunks in the prison altogether, and not in open court.

Thn manufacturers of all kinds in tho State have cut down wages, in some cases, fifty per cent.

; The valuable tin mine recently discovered, is near San Bernardino, in the Miutheastcrn part of tho state. It Is about si\ hundred miles from San Fran- cisco.

Morrison, one of" the new District judges of San Francisco is a Cathelie, and opposed to divorces. They will not come as readily as before.

There is an amusing light in the democratic party in Caiifurnia between the Irish element, which is about three-filths of the party.and the high southerners who huve from time to time emigrated to that state. Virginia wants all the offices, as usual, and so does Ireland. In n recent brisk light for a fat office, Pat camo oiil ahead, and the high southern gen- ilemon, nnin'v of whom were formerly Know Nothing leaden, are very much disgusted.

A Mr. J. J. Desmond has sued a San Francisco paper for 910,000 damages for libel. The paper is not worth lO.OOO emits. We cannot say whether the plaintiff is our Mr. Desmond.

At the battle of Malvern Hill, General

Lee encountered a tall Johnny Hub. lu

full retreat, and blubbering fearfully,

lie stopped him and shamed him, but the

fellow only avowed cowardice, and said he knew he was a coward, when they

'scripted him. 'Well,' said the General, 'that r»av be, but you need not bellow

about it like a great baby.' 'Baby!' echoed the conscript, ' I wish I wa* a baby—ond a pnl baby nt thnt r ■

A Portland nhoemaker. who had long

been In love with a pretty widow, but

had never dared to mention It to her, met

her ou tlic street, the other day, and blurted out, 'I beg pardon, Mrs. ,

but I waut to marry you! I have loved

you a leng time. I am (here he gave his

name, etc) and yiti can take a week to

inquire about me, and can see me when-

ever you wish.' With this be left, her to consider; she did consider, and a speedy

marriage was the result.

The comments of a colored preacher on

the teat: " ll Is more blessed to jive

than to renelve." are Inimitable for point ai u-ll as eloquence. " I've known

many a church lo die. 'cause it didn't jlyp enough; but I never kuowed a church to tile because it gave Ion much.

Dey don't die that wiiy. Hredren, ha* any of you knowetl a obtlPuh to ilie 'cause

it gave to much? If you do. just let me

know, and I'll make a pilgrimage to dat church, and I'M climb by de soft lightof

the noon t<r its moss-covered roof, and

I'll stand liar and lilt my hand* to Heaven and say I " BU-MSed are de dead
