I think it iz a very diffi cult thing tew be a good injun up in heav en, but, tew cum dow here and be a good injun, iz just wliare the tite spot comet in. Forgiving our cnetnys haz the tame re freshing efl'ekt upon our souls az it duz tew confess our sins. What a lamentable cuss man iz, he pittys hiz (labors’ misfortunes, by Calling them judgments from haaven. Wize men go thru this Avorld az boys go tew bed in the dark, whistling to shorten the distance “The gods help them Avho help them selfs.’’ Upon the same principle mankind praze thoze who praze themselfs. Falling in love iz like falling into molas sis, sweet but dreadful dobby. Hunters and gamblers are poor ekone mists, they kill time, a species ov game that kant be reproduced. Good breeding iz the art ov avoiding fa miliarity, and at the same time making the company satisfied with you aud pleazed with themselfs. Tew be happy—take things az they cum, and let them go jist as they cum. It takes a great deal of money tew make a man riteli, but it don't take but little virtew. It iz the little things ov this life that plague us— Musketeers are plenty elephants skarse. What an agreeable world this would be tew live in ii we could pump all the pride and selfishness out ov it. It would im prove it az much az taking the fire and iirimstun out of the other world. Don't mistake plezzur for happiness; it iz an entirely diflierent breed ov dogs.— There iz a grate deal ov equisit plezzure in happiness, Imtther iz a grate deal ov plez zure that lias no happiness in it. There iz only one thing that i kan think ov now. that i like to see idleness in, and that iz. in molassis—i want molassis slow and eazy. Experience haz the same effect on most folks t hut age haz on a goose, it makes them tuffer. “Sett ing Susietys" are generally places Avhere the wimmin meet to rip and so—up the naborhood, A lazy man iz one who has no time to spare an industrious man iz one who haz more time to spare than he knows what to do with. A lazy man always works harder than a bizzy one—the hardest work i kno of iz to grunt—it iz harder lew set still, andflte Hies, than it iz tew git up and escape from them. The man who controls his achuns sits at the helm ov his ship.

I have tound out that happiness kousists in working bizzy 11 hours sleeping 8 hours, and playing checkures 4 hours, out ov every -l. Mankind loves mystery—a hole in the ground excites more wonder than a star in the heavens. “Experience is a good school master,” hut reason iz a better one. A Pedant iz a lernt phool—pedantry iz a little knowledge on perade—pedantry iz hypoerasy, without any malice in it. All the good men in this world have got the same kind of religion, it iz only the (Ted beats, frauds, and hypokrits, whose relig ion differs. Pride iz a looking-glass, into which men look, and seeing Ihemselvs, they strut, and stick up their nozc at other folks. How on arth can we trust man kind, or woman kind, when there aint one out ov ten o\ them dare trust themselvs. Adversity iz a goddess with trozen smiles. II i had the privilege ov making the Eleventh Commandment, it would be this —owe no man. Young ones and (logs!—those who are the least aide to support them, generally hav the most ov them. Sum lolks, az they gro older, gro wizer; but uost folke simply gro stubboruer. People travel to learn—most of them (before they start) should learn to travel. 1 don't believe in fighting; i am solemly against it; bill, if a man gits tew lighting, i i am also solemly against biz gilting licked. I After a light iz once opened, all the virtue there iz in it iz tew lick the other party.

The Grand Lodge of Good Templars of Minnesota held a session last week, and re solved to press the temperance question in politics. They will nominate independent candidates in many legislative districts, and endeaver to obtain the balance of power. A Joliet woman has original and pronounc ed views on female suffrage, which she ex presses in this way: “I just don't believe in these new women notions. I have raised six boys—four of I them vote now, and the others will soon be old enough. Then I will have six votes. Now these good-for-nothing women who have fooled their time away, and never raised a sin gle boy, come around and want every woman to vote for herself. 1 don’t believe in such nonsense. I have raised my six boys, and 1 am going to have every one vote for me. Those women who go lecturing around the I country instead of raising boys, have no busi ness to vote any way.” As R proof that some knowledge of the French language is necessary in travelling abroad, the following story is told of an un lucky Englisman ill l’aris, who dill not know one word of the polite tongue “Seating him self in a restaurant, he pointed to the first article on the bill of fare, and the polite wait er brought him a fragrant plate of beef-soup. When it was despatched be pointed to the sec ond line. The waiter brought him a vegeta ble soup. ‘Kather .more soup than 1 w ant,’ bethought; ‘but it is the Paris fashion.’ He duly pointed to the third line, and a plate of tapioca broth was brought him. Again to the fourth, and was furnished with a bowl of prep aration of arrow-root. He tried the fifth line and was supplied with some gruel kept for in valids. He determined to get as far from the soup ns possible. He pointed, in despair, to the last article on the bill of fare. The wait er politely handed him a bunch of toothpicks This was too much the Finglishman paid bis bill and left." Kather overdrawn, to be sure, but the point is well taken. Domestic TKetos. A contributor to the Oxford Register, says the town of Buckfield, if its history could be written, would present a case of extraordin ary historical interest. It was first settled some years after the close of the French and Indian war, when we were colonies of Eng land. Twenty of the soldiers in that war art now known to have been among its first set tlers. They represented the battles at the scige ami taking of Lewisburg on Cape Bre ton, under the command of Sir Wm. l’ep pcrell, of Kittery, in York county, ot Fort Wm. Henry when the horrible massacre took place by the French and Indians of Abraham's Plains before Quebec, under the command of Gen. Wolfe, and at Gen. Braildock's Defeat under Col. Washington, when the British officer was slain. The average age of these veterans at their death was eighty-four. At the close of the Revolutionary war it is now known that eightv-eight of these veterans set tled in the town, and nine-tenths of its present population are their descendants. Their aver age ages were eighty years. The youngest was forty-six, and the oldest one hundred and five. They represented every battle of the Revolution, from Bunker Hill to Yorktown. In the war of 1812 a full company of volun teers under the command of Capt David Bry ant was raised in the town, every member of which was the son of a Revolutionary soldier. The town was the first in the State that nomi nated Gen. Jackson for President at a public meeting of Democrats at the old Academy Hall (now Morrill Moore’s store) on the 19th of April, 1828. L*pon polling the house vote stood 198 for Jackson and 5 for Adams. This meeting gave the first great impulse to the cause in Maine. At the Presidential election 1 on the .'Id day of November following, the vote stood 190 for Jackson, and 71 for Adams. Of those that voted for Jackson, 2.7 are now liv ing in the town, and 5 of those that voted for Adums. This shows that forty-two years since this election occurred, is a large segment in the circle of life. _ To the village of Weld an immense quantity of white birch and poplar wood was hauled during last winter. This wood is now being worked up by the different manufactories at the village, the most important of which is the Spool Factory, owned by Messrs. Austin Sanborn. They use birch only in the manu facture of their spools. They have, piled up in the vieinity of their factory. 950 cords of this wood, which they will workup into spools during the year. They already have con tracts for the next two months. This wood costs SJ.ou delivered. 6>o this tactorv puts into the hands of the farmers nearly 83500 for wood alone, and that of a kind considered there almost worthless for ordinary purposes. They employ, on an average about eighteen men, running six sets of machinery with a ca pacity for turning out about "00 gross per day, in sizes varying from 15 to 500 yards each. They have a small water-power com bined with sufficient steam power. In addi tion to this factory there are several other wood manufactories in the village, using in all nearly a thousand cords of poplar and brown ash. Mr. Eliab Foster is using the latter in considerable quantities in the manu facture of butter tubs by machinery as arc also Messrs. Stoekbridge Houghton. l’orter Ladd is engaged in making salt boxes, al though now at work upon a contract for 81, 000 worth of scythe boxes. H. W. Foster Co. also have about 300 cords of poplar to make into salt boxes. B. It. llollins has com menced operations for manufacturing excel sior on quite an extensive scale. We glean the above from the Farmington Chronicle. Rev. I)r. Thurston of Searsport, Secretary of the Maine Missionary Society, reports that 140 of the 34‘J Congregational churches of this State receive charitable aid. The Society's expenses for the year are $15,000; receipts since last year only $4,600, less than two fifths of the appropriations already made to the churches. The Secretary earnestly ap peals to those who love the cause and desire the materia! as well as religious prosperity of Maine to aid without delay. The Oxford Democrat says the Grand Trunk Hailway Company arc working the granite quarry near Bryant l'ond this season, and arc getting out some very fine dimension stone. Eighteen men are employed, in all. M. H. Jacobs has charge of the quarrying and cutting, and J. B. Currier does the black smithing. The stone is to be used for build ing bridges where the late '‘washouts” have occurcd along the line of the road. The Paris Hegister says Mr. S. Porter Stearns, one of the most extensive wool growers in Paris, wintered the past seuson two hundred sheep and lost but one. Twenty of his fat wethers were sold for mutton in the Portland market for the good round sum of two hundred dollars, prom one hundred anil eight lambs only four were lost. This ex hibits a most extraordinary case of good luck or good husbandry, or both, in shrt-p raising. The Cumberland Bone Company have leased i a portion of the Kerosene Works at Ligonia and are now moving their machinery, 4c., to their new location. The grinding ot the ma terial will be carried on all the time at their mill at Duck Pond, til! they get established in I their new place. The Bangor Whig says the Village of Vanceboro’ has grown lip like a mushroom, and bids fair to be one of the most enterpris ing and lively places in the State. A private letter from W. H. Luce, says it is hoped ere long that "we shall have the cars through to Bangor, and then we shall have a post office of our own. as we have quite a town. One year ago now, there were only two camps here; now we have on the American side, Shaw Bros.’ Tannery, a hotel, a school house 30 by GO feet with hall overhead, t w t IW) -three dwellings, two stores, and another store and several houses in process of construction. On the English side are several stores and houses, and I tegret to say eight or nine rum shops.’ We learn from the Whig that lust Tuesday morning, the barn and sheds in Etna owned by Mr. Enoch Boynton, were totally destroyed by fire, together w ith a large quantity of hay and grain. The house was saved, through the efforts of the neighbors and the employes of Hathorn's mill, who stopped work and at once came to the assistance of Mr. Boynton. The Progressive Ago says the office of Dep uty Collector at Stockton, which was discon tiued last year has been restored and L. M. Partridge has been re-appointed^)eputy Col lector at a salary of SUM. Thyre is coiuid erable Custom House business tlone at ti\t place and the place and the office is a neces sary one. The Reporter says that at the meeting of the Gardiner City Council last Wednesday even ing it was voted to give Heath Encampment, G. A. 11., of that city, the sum of $30. to aid in defraying the expenses of Memorial Day. Kcv. J. M. Payne has accepted the invitation of the Post to deliver the oration at Oak Grove Cemetery, on that day. An ecclesiastical council—with II. B. An drews as Moderator, and Rev. Mr. Record as Clerk—met at Canton on the 11th, and after examination voted to ordain Mr. D. C. Bixby, who has become the pastor of the Baptist church of Canton. Since January 1st, 1870, one thousand, nine hundred and thirty-six deeds and mortgages have been registered at the Penobscot Regis try of Deed, us we learn from the Whig. This does not include foreclosures. The Press says the Trustees of the Reform School discharged twenty-five boys from that institution on Wednesday last for good be haviour.

Mission Sabbath Schools arc being estab lished in the outskirts of the city, by the Angusta V. M. C. A. Rutter has been reported ns active. Some hu'ter offered for sale ought to he active if strength has anything to do with activity. C. \V. Jackson, who has been at the Na tional Asylum for more than a year, is a most efficient and capable police officer. It is stated, and upon good authority, that a new daily paper is shortly to be started in Rangor. It will be Republican in its pol itics. The proprietor of Hriek’s Roston Express has facilities for transporting packages which must ensure an enlargement of his business. Fruit dealers, by patronizing this line, may be sure of having their orders attended to promptly. We learn that Col. Horace L. l’ike has de clined the appointment of Consul General to Tampico, Mexico, which was tendered him some weeks ago. Col. Pike should have a position on the editorial staff of some live newspaper. He wields a ready pen. We understand that a petition is in circula tion praying the city fathers to tax dogs. A petition to either tax or kill them sfiould re ceive numerous signatures. A large hull-dog chasing a full grown terrier over a carefully made vegetable bed in the garden answers the purpose of a sub-soil plow. The “Ilallowell Gazette” has ceased to ex ist. In its place, Mr. Henry Chase, the pub lisher, has presented to his patrons a hand some quarto sheet, bearing the name of the “Saturday Gazette.” It is larger than the old paper, contains more reading matter and is in a better form for preservation than before. It has its usual local department and a greater circulation. The subscription price has not been increased. The commissioners to investigate the charges against towns for men not put into the service during the war, will meet at the enp itol to-dav. to enter upon the duties of their office. It is understood that their proceed* f ing will notbe publicly reported until the inves tigation shall have been completed. The commission is composed of the following named gentlemen: Hon. George F. Talbot, Portland; Gen. Selden Connor, Augusta; Hun. Abram Sanborn, llangor. The number of sheep destroyed in five counties in this State last year by dogs, was fourteen hundred The number destroyed by dogs in 417 counties in the I'nited States was 99.547, and as many more were wounded. This involves an actual loss of $2,000,000, and a constructive and none the less real loss to production of many millions more. New Jersey, which as a State is behind some of its sisters in many respects, last winter protected its sheep-misers by laying a tax of $2 on the owner of every male dog. and $3 on the owner every female dog. A young man representing himself to be a lather, made application for board at a board ing house on Elm street, in this city. Just before the dinner hour he was shown to the room assigned him, as he wished to prepare himself for dinner. On starting out for labor he made inquiry as to the usual hour fur sup per. This was the last that was seen of him. During his stay at the boarding house he found time to open the drawers of a bureau standing In the entry and purloin the con tents of a portinoniae belonging to the lady of the house, containing the sum of 01‘J. Look out for these fellows. The treasurer of the Portland Kennebec Railroad company, received a few days since an anonymous letter enclosing 81.50, the writer stating that the sum was to pay his fare from Bath to Portland, of which he had defrauded the company some time since. We don't believe another such instance is on record. It is deemed a virtue i to “dead-head it" on railroads. How that man's conscience must have stung him I In his dreams the iron horse with fiery nostrils rushed towards him a terrible smash-up oc curred, and the company not responsible; Frank Bodge dodging round after tickets, and the poor delinquent compelled to inform him that he had lost his. May the conscience stricken individual find relief. I A gentleman who has not been charmed by i the music of bobalinks, tried the experiment of i grape shot upon them, lie avers that the lives I of a cat (nine) are not to be compared to the i number possessed by these musical jubilters. He tried to shoot them, hut they wouldn’t die. Apparently they would “flop" for the last time, but rise again immediately, like the Phamix. The following are the "remarks” supposed to have been made by the bird after tue escape trom uracil: Ua, ha, ha—Uon t -you wish yon could?—Click, hang!

Henry Boynton i of this city submitted to a painful and difficult surgical operation. For six years he has car ried in his body one of those “leaden mes sengers” which have proved fatal to so many, iIn the battle of Drury’s Bluff, Va., on the 16th of May, 1864,* Gen. Boynton, who was then Lietit. Colonel commanding the 8lh Maine, bore a conspicuous part on the right of the line, holding it against tearful odds, capturing a large number of prisoners. For ,his gallantry on this hard fought field, he re ceived the special mention of Gen. Weitaei, j ■.which is not a very common thing for a man iin his position fo do. Our loss in that fight was between 1400 and 1300 In killed and !1wounded. During the engagement, by the ^bursting of a shell, Gen. Boynton received a {bullet in his left side. For six years ltd* bul- let lias been working its way towards the right side, until nt the time of the operation on Wednesday it was in a position on the right side at the top of the hip, between the hip bone and the spine. The operation was per-! formed in a skillful manner by Dr. John Ben son of Newport, who was Surgeon of the 20th Maine Regiment. He was unassisted in the operation. The bullet is somewhat battered. It weighs 11-lfith of an ounce avoidupoi*, or 392 grains, and lias been a constant trouble to the General. We are glad to know that he is getting along well and will be out in a few days. The Decoration of the Graves of Soldiers who fell ill the lute war, and memorial servic es, will take place at Mt. Pleasant Cemetery, on Sunday next, (May 29th,) at 4:30 P. M. The Committee, after consulting the several Clergy and others, decided to have the servic es oil Sunday instead of the Monday lollow ing, (the day appointed liy Gen. Hogan for general observance,) so as to give every one an opportunity to participate in the services. The G. A. R.

Hkemhold—Dear Sir: It la with much pleasure that 1 write yon upon facts respecting my self. 1 do not know hardly how to express my sell. 1 have been for the last ten or twelve years the greatest sufferer man could he and live; hut more 1 sometimes than others. The complaint was the ‘•Kidneys”and “Bladder.” 1 have been sometimes t from twelve to fourteen hours, and wanted to make j water every minute, but could not. Have consult- j ed doctors, both in Massachusetts and this State, j and taken pills. I may say, by the quart, also liq-j uored medicines, hut found no relief from any, and got worse the last six months. 1 was so that fcould scarcely get about. 1 could not rest night or day. It would soon have beeu “all up” with me if 1 had not seen your advertisement in “The Berkshire Courier” headed “Kidneys.” 1 read it through and thought I would try it. 1 purchased a bottle, but, mind you, had not much faith in it Why should 1, i when 1 had been trying so many things and cost me so much Well, 1 began taking it. and before 1 had taken the first bottle 1 felt bad: but 1 finished it and ««it number, iiy iiivlime i rook nail ol the second I still got worse (apparently). When 1 walked it, seemed as if my rigid kidney w as falling from its place, and 1 felt really bad. 1 felt so, before 1 had finished the second, that 1 had made up my mind it i was of no use trying any more—and all this time the “Bucbu” was doing it* work, but i did not know it; so I gave it up and went to Hartford on hatarday to see one of the best doctors in the city. He said it was the neck of the bladder, ami 1 should have to undergo an operation. He gave me med iciue, and I went home quite downhearted. On Sunday I wa# unable to go to church. 1 had not taken anv of hi* medicine, but on my return contin ued using the “Bucbu,” and In the afternoon 1 hud a desire to make water, but could not. About one hour after this I tried again, with the same result; but the next time 1 took the vessel it w«i the same a. turning it faucet and stopping it off again. It was so for three times, and tin* third time there was something caiue through the passage and struck agauist the side of the vessel. I examined it, and it is the ugliest stmu* or gravel you ever saw, cov ered over with little peices which collcted together. It looks the color of a iuu«l turtle, and is as hurd as a flint, so you see the “Buchu” was doing its work although I was feeling *>o badly. I procured an other bottle thinking their might be some more be hind, but since that has passed, which is eight w eeks ago last Sunday, 1 have been as well as ever 1 w as in my life. 1 have thestoue securely wrapped and those who have seen it in this place are aur* prised, i cannot tell you all, but this is a true story of my case, and yon are welcome to make such use of my name as you think proper. 1 am pretty' well known in Berkshire; also in Connecticut. The ad veni-euieui saved me. %vny not publish more.'' The Springfield Republican is a w ide-spread paper.

Mr. II.T.llgL*BOU>—Dkak Sir: lu regard to 1 ha question asked me as to iny opinion about Ru bn. I would say I have used and add the article in various forma for the past thirty years. I do not think there is any form or preparation of it 1 have not used, or known to be used, in the various diseases where such medicate agent would be indicated. You are aware, as well aa myself, that it has been extensively employed lathe various diseases of the bladder and kidneys, mid the reputation it has ac quired, in my judgment, is warranted by the fact 1 have seen and used, as belore stated, every form of Uticliu—the powdered leaves, tincture, fluid ex tracts—and 1 miii not congni/ant of any preparation of that plant at all equal to yours. Twelve years experience ought, I think, to give me the right to Itidge r it. merits; and. without prejudice or par tiality. I give yours precedeuee over till others. I vuluu vour Itochu for its effects on patients. I have cured u ith it. and seen cured w ith it, more diseases of the bladder and kidneys than I have ever seen cored with any other Hiteliu or any other proprietary compound of whatever name.

IIf.lmiioi.d, Druggist-—Df.ak Silt: I have been a sufferer for upwards of twenty years with gravel, bladder ami kidney affections, during which time I have used various medicinal preparations, and been under the treatment of the most eminent physicians, experiencing but little relief. Having seen your preparations extensively ad vertised. I consulted my family physical! in regard lo using \our Eqtract. Buchu. I did this because 1 had used a'l kinds of adver tised remedies and had found them worthless, and some quite injurious; m fact, I despaired of ever getting well, and determined to use no remedies hereafter unless 1 knew of the ingredients. It was this that prompted me to use your remedv. As you advertised that it was composed of buchu, eubebs and juniper berries, it occurred to me and my phys ician as an excellent combination and w ith his ad vice, alter an examination of the article and con sulting again with the druggist, I concluded t try it I commenced to use it al»out eight months ago, at which time I vas confined to my room. From the first bottle I was astonished at the ben eficial effect, aud alter using it three weeks was able to walk out. I felt much like writing to you u lull statement of my ease at the time, but thought my improvement might only be temporary, and therefore concluded to defer, and see it it would effect a perfect cure, knowing that it would l>e ot greater value to you and more satisfactory to me. 1 am now able'to report that a cure is effected, after using the remedy for five months. I have not used any now for three months, and leel as well in all respects as 1 ever did. Your Buchu being devoid of any unpleasant taste and odor, a nice tonic and in vigorator of the system.

It costs a ileal of money to publish a paper these times, and a large, prompt paying subscription list and a good ly amount of advertising patronage ut respectable rates, are necessary to make a paper self-sustain ing, and prevent its being a source of emharass ment to it® proprietors.
