The Education of (he Hand. there is certainly not a more wonderful and beautiful and useful I>it of maeliinery in the world than the human baud. Its educational susceptibilities, too, are ex traordinary. It can be trained to deeds of strength which only the toughest woods or metals can be made to excel, or to a delicacy of touch and manipulation which the finest machinery can neverrival. And the ease and celerity of motion of which it is capable are quite as astonishing as anything else connected with this wonder ful pices- of human machinery. A few ex amples in all these departments of train ing sufficiently prove the capabilities of the hand under proper treatment. !5ut, like everything else that In-longs to man, it is generally a neglected, if not an abused member, anil at best is but part hilly developed. Our thoughts have been turned toward the liftman hand, at this time, by a valua ble article in the last number of the Rrien lijir American, on the education of the hand. In this article it is urged that the early training of children is radically de fective, in that they are taught, from tin start, to use only one hand for all the more difficult and nice manipulations of ordinary life while both hands an- pre cisely alike in construction and capacity, and equally susceptible to the influence of training. Or in other words: children are early taught to hold their knives, their pens—whatever they are using for un\ im portant work—in their right hands while the left is employed merely ea supple ment to the right. I he writer argues, that children might he learned to use the left hand ju~t as readily and neatly and efficiently as tin right: and thilt the exelusiveti.se ol tin right hand, as the leading mcuiher, i purely the result of the training which the j child gets from infancy upward—to hold everything in the right hand—to cut, or sew. or write with that hand only. That the left hand might he made the equal of the other, i- proved by the dexter ity with which tin- left hand i- used by some persons, even skilful surgeons, or painters, or artisans, who ii'c either hand, as convenience may dictate, with equal fa cility and dexterity. This is evident, also, front the success of persons who, having lost the use of tin* right hand, have been compelled to substitute the left. If this he true—that the two hand- are made exactly alike, are alike susceptible to training—why should a man or woman be deprived, by vicious early cdueatiotn of. one-half the capacity and powers of usefulness) which (»od has given him oi lier? Let the mothers who have children in their arms or around their tables, and the teachers of small children think of this, and begin early to teach them to use both hands alike, and we shall soon see a two-handed race of men and woman in this world. (are of the Uarn. Tins expressive phrase involves more than one might imagine who has never wintered a stock of cattle; of course, it implies tlie seeing that the ham—the build ing itself,—is made tight both at the sides, especially tliose most exposed to the cut ting winds, and on the roof; that it is well ventilated, so as not to be full of foul atmosphere, as injurious to beast as to man: that it is neatly and orderly kept, so that there i» no waste of fodder, and that it is weft secured by day and by night. But over and above all, it means the rc ipii ite skill and care in the management of the stock, that they be periodienliv and properly fed, and watered, and clean ed. A herd of twenty head of cattle, be sides horses and young sleek, will take the time of one man working pretty dili gently in the care of them. He must rise betimes, and, snow or rain, go to the barn to give the morning feed. He must do the milking, unless the cows are all dried up for the winter; see that each ani mal has his proper space, without being encroached on by those in the next stan chions; then, after breakfast, he is t.. tum them out for watering, and is to clean up the stalls, and-supply them wit li the proper litter. He is to oard the stock and provide fur their wants all through the day, perhaps cutting hay and roots for this purpose, Let any one who thinks all this is very easy work, oply try. it for a whole winter, and h* mar perhaps pome to a different conclusion. Let him re member. top, that It is his ditty not mere ly to keep the breath of life in the stwk entrusted to him. but to keep them in good health and heart, so as to come out in good conditiou in the spring, when they go to grass. Seven to eight months at the barn is decreed by an inexorably cold climate I for New England cattle every y ear. All j honor to the fanner who knows how best to carry them through, ami knowing, j does it! If peace hath her victories no less than war, so has winter hers no less than spring or summer. The thought should never be harbored that winter is a, time of inactivity. Better far ^te motto: work and thrift go together.~Co/wnou i tiunalM. Orass Land. Permanent grass land lias not timothy i on it as tlie chief variety, and if it is per manent, of course it iiii never ploughed.— Meadows, properly speaking, are never ploughed, for if they are, the field is ara ble. and meadow land and arable laud are distinctively different. Permanent grass fields and meadows, in England, where the language came from, mean land always in grass, tiie varieties com posed of native kinds, and a permanent pasture or a meadow is never considered in perfection till the temporary sown va rieties are worn out, or only take their place among the seventy or more varieties which will lie found on ail good grass land. All grass land worthy of the name i-. near rivers or in valleys, and on land with some portion of the soil of a charac ter similar to the low land—clay, loam and rich limestone are the principal sta ples to lie depended upon, but light sandy soils, or any hills having no depth of strong soil, are not adapted for permanent grazing and mowing, and can never be made to be aught but temporary and arti ficial grass land. Arabic land is much benefited by having temporary grass in rotation, but in England it is found that there is decidedly more advantage in bringing it around often and only letting it lie in such gras one year, where clover is sown alone, or only two years where a mixture of rve grass, trefoil and white clover i> added, hut at no time since dic tionaries have been in existence have such fields, even when allowed to remain in grass for six or seven years, been dig nified by the name of meadows, nor is anything termed permanent grass land unless it has been ill grass during the present generation, and is never intended to be ploughed again. Snell being facts, why not call things hy their right names? the -ame a.» Americans are beginning to say ranis instead of bucks. Shorthorns in -tead of lMirhams, and liens install of chickens, for it is said “he is feeding the chickens," when the youngest in the lot has raised broods; the same as “the meadow i- growing corn this year ('onnlnj (h nUannti. What In Front? We have learned that dew is the float ing moisture of the air gently floating down upon the grass amt leaves of plants, which have become colder than itself. If, now, the grass and leaves become still colder, as they will do on an Autumn or Winter night the tiny particles of vapor, which in Summer would make dew, are frozen as soon as they fall, and appear on tin* grass like little bristling needles of ice. This we call frost. It does not take the form of a smooth layer of ice all over the blades of grass, because it is the na ture of water, when freezing, to take a regular form to erystalize. Whenever water freezes, little needles of ice are first seen to shoot out upon its surface, which make the same angles with each oilier, all over the world. So it Is in our houses. The moisture of the air in our rooms touches tire cold glass, and trying to erystalize. makes the curious frost-work on our windows every cold evening in Winter. A singular appearance is sometimes noticed on rocks by the road-side, and on the brick walls of houses, when in Winter there is a sudden change from cold weath er to warm. As the stones and bricks are -till freezing cold after the air has become warm, they condense and freeze the mois ture of the air, and array tliemsulves in a snow-white garment of frost. Scholars in school are often troubled on Winter mornings by "the frost coming out of their slates," us they call it. The slates are so wet that the pencil marks cannot be seen. This moisture on the slate, like the frost on the brick wall, is caused, not 1j\ lru-t, or anything else, coming out of them, but rather by the heat of the air go ing into them. This leaves the vapor in the air to settle upon them in the shape of dew or frost. A large collection of frost is often seen upon tint heads of nails, while no frost ap pears on tin- wood around tlie nails. It is tlie nature of iron to receive heat from any warm substance much faster than wood docs. So tlie air, which touches the nail, quickly gives up its heat to the nail, and lays down its moisture upon it to freeze; while the wood, although equally cold, being able to take only a little heat away from tlie air remains quite free from frost. —Oliver Optic's Magazine. A good farmer wears thick I loots and has a thick wallet; his buttons are horn, but his word is gold; his bills are short, ids horses tat and his fences strong, lie does not chaffer with the tax assessors, nor send away a hungry man. When he travels, lie finds his credit has run before him. SccivUvt'J Boutwell has forbidden the lauding of any imported European cattle without a certificate that no contagious disease prevails in the country from which they were ini|>orted. Sffretury HUnion A writer to the Boston Daily Advertiser says on the retirement of Secretary Stanton from the cabinet he took a trip to the Eastern States to spend a few weeks with lii.s friends there, for the purpose of re cruiting his health. Arriving in New ork lrt>ard, that during those nights when a storm was ragfyig, 1 found sleep impossible. 1 have risen from my bed and spent hours with my face against the window, looking out into the darkness, thinking of the sol diers at sea on the coast, and in the morning dreaded to take up the despatches lest I should learn that some unfortunate vessels had gone with all on board to the bottom." After sitting in silence for a moment, with Ids eyes upon the Hoor, he said in a slow and solemn tone, “Nothing, sir,—nothing bid Ho hand of God saved them." The Bonton and Maine Railroad. The report of the directors of the Boston and Maine Railroad Company lor the year ending November 30, 1869, has just been published. It appears that the company has no funded debt, and the floating debt is $217,437, an increase of $7437 during the year. Since the last report $70,266, 34 have been expended for station build ings. fixtures, &c.; $30,437 for land, land damages and fences; $16,400 for locomo tives $42,500 for merchandise cars. The total cost of the road and equipments is $5,0%,014,54. The amount of assets held by the corporation in addition to the cost of the road (after deducting the dividend of Jan. 1st, 1870, and adjusted and un adjusted liabilities) is $375,680,39. 'The road crosses 98 public ways, and 1 horse 5 steam roads at grade. There are 2i way stations for accommodation trains, and 7 flag stations. The passenger trains have run 655,610 miles, and the freight trains 307,049 miles, and other trains 28, 350 miles—making a total of 992,009 miles tun. The number of passengers carried is 3,593,237, or 51,248,678 passengers one mile. The number of tons of freight has been 422,711. The adopted speed of ex press passenger trains is3 miles per hour, the actual speed has been 28 miles; the adopted speed of accommodation trains has been 24 miles per hour, and the actual 23 miles; the average rate of special and freight trains has been respectively 20 and 12 miles an hour. The total expense for maintenance of way has been $276,514, 23, and the total for maintenance of mo tive power and ears, $210,351,88. The road has 45 locomotives, 77 passen ger, 23 baggage, 982 merchandise and 215 gravel and hand ears. The total expense of working the road lias been $1,821,389, 80, and the total income $1,871,339,02, making the net earning $549,949,22. The dividends (tenpereent.) and taxes amount to $479,471,26, leaving a surplus of $10, 1 177,96, besides a reserve of $60,000 to meet contingent expenses. The total surplus now is $1,000,420,41. How to Build a Clatrra. 1 see that a subscriber wishes to know the host way to build a cistern. I have had the care of building quite a number, and would say to him, build two instead of one so large dig the holes and put on two good coats of cciucnt on the bank, and arch with good hard brick. One of my neighbors has one that I built for him sixteen years ago, in this way, and it has been in use ever since. I had one built for myself, six years ago; the mason put brick all round; the brick settled and it leaked. 1 had another built two years ago, which was eight feet across in the clear after being finished, and nine fret deep. This was plastered on the bank and arched with brick and has been full of water ever since, and has not leaked a drop that I know of. I could mention more made in this way but this is enough. I would not have brk-k or stone in the •■Mies of a cistern if they were put in for nothing; they are simptyf thrown away.— Mentor, in ('wintry Gentleman.

She was seen recently. coming after her “old man” with an elevated hrooin-hnndlo. When shall we have that cistern on State •treet, near the Court House? It i- greatly needed for the protection of valuable property ill that vicinity exposed to tire. One of the Hallowell tire engines is old enough to know better than to go to all the firemen’s musters and carry away the h«-*t prizes. Old father time is still represented in tin pictures as using a scythe. In this respect he is behind most of our farmers w ho have purchased mowing machine*. Augusta was incorporated a* a tow r. in 1796, being called at that time Harrington. Daniel Corn was the tir*t representative to the general Court. The city charter wa* rained in 1X49. Ten or twelve gas-lamp* have recently been erected at appropriate points in the streets of Hallowell. We are glad to that our sister city is wheeling into the lift* ot progress generally. 'e understand that the new In tel on Water -treet has been leased and w ill b* opened to the public on Wednesday next. It will afford line accommodations to inemWr* the Leg islature and others tarrying in tin* city. We desire to call attention to tin advertise ment* ot tin* Mansion House and the Cushnoc House. Both of these hotels are conducted with an eye single to the comfort and tastes of their guests, ami their terms are as reason able as any reasonable man could ask. At th* sab on Saturday of boxes and bundle* remaning uncalled for at the express offic e in this city, Mr. K. G. Storcr bid off a box for three or four dollars, which on being opened was found to contain property to the amount of about $f»5. The box contained tw o army saddles, a silver watch, and 810 in money. The late Kdwin Small of China will la greatly missed and sincerely mourned in the community where lie wn» honored and loved. During the war Mr. Small was actively and philanthropically engaged in the noble work nf earing for siek soldiers in the hospitals in this city. He was a brother of the Her. A. K. P. Small of Portland, the eminent preacher. Recently the city authorities of Hullowcll purchased the large brick building at the cor ner of Water and Winthrop streets, and In a comparatively small outlay will convert it into an excellent engine bouse. Such a bouse, properly located, has long been needed in that city. The machines will occupy the lir-t floor; the second floor affords rooms for meetings of the fire companies, and the third or highest floor, may lie used as a hall for dancing. The Western Union Telegraph Company now transmit messages between all station oast of the Mississippi river at one half Un usual tariff rates, and deliver the next morn ing, provided that the tolls on any message ai half rates shall not he less than twenty cents. Messages to be transmitted at half rates will he received at any hour during tin' day In tweetj 8 A. M. and K P. M. at all offices, and until 10 P. M. at offices which receive night press reports. The object of establishing this half rate system i« to create a business to occupy the wire* during the night.

Person*;. We notice in town, among otic r familial faces, this morning, our friend *K. A very. Esq., of Sidney, the well known A-- t Messen ger of the House ot Representatives, who having lost an arm in battle, and lived through four month* in the prison pen ot Anderson villc. lias ever performed most acceptably the duties of his position. Tbe«e “empty sleeves’ and forms that halt a little in their gait. that we see in places of trust, are ev idcncc that thosi who expreys the voice of the people have m*» forgotten the men who gave generously their all to their country in her hour ot need.

In comparing the latest works on the prac tice of dentistry, with those of olden time, the render is struck w ith the vast change that has taken place in the manageim nt of almost every form ot disease of tlu* month and teeth. In fact tlier* is no profession in which then has been such marked improvements within tin- past lew years, as that ot dentistry. The tact will he of interest to every om as there are very few people at the pre-.-m age. who do not need more or less the -erviee ot the dentist. Many operations upon the mouth and teeth which were once so torturing to the patient, are now, by the use of improved instruments, beautifully constructed, rendered eomparativeh easy, and in most eases p un less. I)r. A. II.

An Augusta corn -pondeiit of the Lev iston Journal says tin citv officials whose duly it i by law to sign warrant* for search and -eizurv ot liquor refuse to do w hile the rum shop are doing active business on Wafer -tree!. This is probably their idea of what i^meant h\ "vigorou- enforcement.''— Maine papers year ratty. We noticed the above brilliant statement at the time of its first appearance, and a- it w as dimply silly, took no notice of it but a. it has been copied into several paper*, it is perhaps due to our city officer- to set the mat ter right by giving the facts. Since the in aueoration of the present city government, in March last, tirenty-four search and seizure warrants against sellers of intoxicating liq 1 nors. have been signed by our city officers and these warrant- have been put thronyh t-» tlu full extent of the law. The City Marshal ha heen thoroughly in earnest in this matter and has frequently given public notice that he and tin* officers under him are ready at all time to sign warrants against runmdlers and coin pel them to "shut up shop.” The correspond ent who has caused these misrepresentation* to go broudea-t over the State is afflicted probably with “extreme morphia:’* he was one of Mr. Hichborn's ardent supporters last fall, has championed the State Police system of •uppres-ing rumsellimr. and never objected to being appointed a depot). He never was appointed, however. Now during the past year a barrel ot liquor has been seized where a pint was seized when the self-sacrificing deputies were daily "pitching their moving tents," on the heels of pop beer vender.-, but our home police must have no credit for the work performed w ithout foreign interference.
