A Story of Ifew England Domestic Life. 11V LAWRENCE WISSELL. ‘•I believe this is the coldest morning we’ve had, this winter,” said Isaac Hough ton, as he moved his chair up to the break fast table. A New England farmer’s breakfast-table is a thing not to be scorned even by the epicure. Before Isaac was a thick slice of steak, dotted with dissolving bits of golden butter. Little, round dough-nuts, sprinkled over with sugar, lay like hick ories in the snow-fall; and the “golden sweetings" would have tempted a nectar fed Juno. A delicate fragrance issued from thej tin coffee pot, and the creamy milk, tilling to the brim the clear glass pitcher, might well have been the envy of a city millionaire. On the stove-hearth was the mince pie, warming for the morn ing desert. The heat from the stove per vaded the room, and altogether the farm er’s kitchen was a most inviting place on that cold December morning. “The thermometer is down to zero," continued Isaac, “and the trough at the barn is almost frozen over.” And he be gan to cut the smoking stake anticipated with eager appetite. “I do think you are too bad, Isaac, to make me so much work,” said his wife, as she took her seat in front of the fragrant coffee. “You know that I won’t use the water that has stood in the pump over night, and yet you go and fill the teakettle with it, every morning, and when I get up I have to pour it all out again. It’s hard work to pump four or five pails of water, as I have to before 1 begin to get my breakfast.” “That’s nothing but one o’your whims,” returned Isaac. “The water that’s stood in the pump’s just as good as any to cook with,—it’s rather warm to drink in the summer.” “I tell you Isaac, I won’t use it,” inter rupted his wife, “I know it ain’t healthy, and I’ll turn it out of the teakettle as often us you put it in. But 'twould help me in my" work if you’d get up mornings and clear the pump as your brother Sam does. But if you don’t do it I shall.” And Susan became slightly excited. “Well, well, wife, eat your breakfast,” said Isaac. “The frost hasn’t started off that west window yet, for all we’ve had such a fire. This is a pretty cold morn ing, that’s a fact.” “I thought so ’fore I’d got the pump cleared; up in that comer there ’twas cold as a barn. You know I don’t dress as warm as you do.” “Well you needn’t a cleared the pump. The water in the tea kettle was (good enough. What’s the use o’being so par ticular?” “1 tell you, Isaac, I won't use that pump water, nor any that has lain in the pipes, over night,” returned Susan, with a very decided declination of the chin. “I know ’tisn’t healthy, and I won’t use it. Didn’t Dr. John say ’twas what ailed Jermina Perkins, when she had those dreadful spasms She'd used lead pipe water for years and the doctor in Lowell told Jim Hoyt if he didn't stop drinkin' it he’d nev er see unother well day. An then there was Sally Schryon, her joints all swelled up so she couldn’t hardly use her hands, and Dr. Hughes told her ’twas nothing under the sun but drinking water that had lain in a lead pipe.” “The doctors don’t know nothing ’bout it," said Isaac. “Jermina Perkins had a cancer, and if Dr. Jones had let it alone she might ’a been living now, for anything I know. It’s nothing but an old woman's whim.” “Well, I won’t use it, any way. I don’t want my joints all swelling up so I can’t do my work.” By this time various inroads bad been made into the eatables on the farmer's ta ble. Isaac, thus far, had kept his temper. Susan, however was inclined to continue the controversy, when Isaac interrupted her by the inquiry “Going to let me have a piece of that pie on the stove hearth Susan was always glad to see Isaac eat heartily, so she gave nim a large piece of Die. Had a steam propeller been fastened to his jaws he could scarcely have swallowed it with greater velocity, after which ho rose and prepared to leave the house, without stopping to answer his wife’s pleadings. “Now you will clear the pump to-morrow morning, won't you?” Just then the door banged, and Susan, her breakfast unfinished, was left alone. “I do think Isaac is too bad,” she said to herself. “But theu, I won’t use the water, if 1 have to break my back clear ing the pump,” and so rose with a jerk, and began to clear away the break last, and to mako the kitchen nice and comfor table, and to think about dinner for her self and Isaac. Mrs. Houghton was a model house* keeper. She had that tact so often found among New England women, and per formed the heavy work of a farmer's wife with her own hands. The amount she would accomplish between the hours of 5 and 12 was wonderful. Churning, bak ing, ironing, and intervening labors, would appear and disappear in as regular order as Iago and Desdemona upon the American stage. She had been married twenty years be fore there appeared any symptoms of lead pipe on the brain, as Isaac called It. Dar ing this time, two curly-haired boys had sat at their table and brightened their home. But possessing much of their mother’s enterprise, they looked beyond the little town of M- and the plod ding on the home farm, and, somewhat to Isaac's disappointment, took their inher itance of vigorous go-a-head-a-tiveness, and left for a neighboring city, where they were soon well established in busi ness. Now it is probable that Isaac and Susan had as much real love for each other as Eloise and Abelard, but it was manifest in a very different way. Isaac was a peace [CONTINUED ON FOL’MTH CAGE, j

Unfavorable weather and the busy season will prob ably reduce the attendance. The Bangor Commercial is calling loudly upon the democracy to go up to Portland on,the 23rd, to attend the great annual farce of nominating a democratic candidate for Governor. It would be more profitable for them [to stay at home and finish planting or even go-a-iishing. The fire-eaters are not all dead yet. Mr. Harris of Maryland desires a seal in Con gress again, and announces that his plat form is to declare the fourteenth and lil tcenth amendments utterly void, dismiss all colored men from Congress, and in scribe upon tbe portals of the Capitol ••The white race shall exclusively govern our country.” Tho Boston Journal closes an article re viewing the action of Congress as follows: “With the salary grab righted, moieties abolished, ditto the Sanborn contracts, the Geneva award prepared for distribution, inflation checked, over thirty millions ot dollars saved by retrenchment, anrl no material abuses committed during the closing hours, this session of the Forty third Congress may safely lay its record before the people.” A VICTORY FOR TIIE REPUBLIC IN FRANCE. The vote oi “urgency,” or the previous question, has been carried on the Consti tutional bill introduced by the Left Centre in the French Assembly. The majority is, indeed, very small, but the fact that there is a majority at all on such a question proves that the definite constitution of a Republic in France is still among tiiCj probabilities of the immediate future. A fortnight ago the political situation in the Assembly was thus described: “The Left Centre requires the immediate organiza tion of a Republican Septennate. The Right Centre desires the organization of an impersonal Septennate in the present form, without the Republic being pro claimed. The Lett demands dissolution, and the Right wants to have nothing at all organized.” The attempts to carry out the programme of all other sections of the Assembly having failed, the Left Cen tre appears to have succeeded in securing for its plan of conciliation the support of the parties on either side of it. To the Conservatives it offered the confirmation of the seven years’ term of Marshal Mac Mahon, and the check of a second cham ber upon the decisions of the popular rep resentative body. To the Radicals it pre sented the bait of calling the head of the State, elected by the Assembly, President of the Republic, and the certainty of dis solution before the election of the new C«rj)S Legulalif. To the large body of vacillating politicians, who want the truce of parties to be maintained till they can make up their minds which is the strong est. the project of the Left Centre has the recommendation that it still leaves the way open for the partial or total revision of the Constitution, by such bills as may be hereafter submitted. Such is the bill now before the Assem bly, with a fair prospect of promptly be coming law. It is really only a political settlement for six years, but, considering the bitterness with which the Legitimists have fought against shutting the door of the Constitution in the face of their King till 1880, and, considering the jealousy with which all sections of Monarchists and Bonapartists have regarded the proposal to constitute the Republic for any period, however short, the advance made by yes terday’s vote toward political permanen cy, is no contemptible one. Constitutional government threatened to become impos sible in France, because no Ministry could j advance a step beyond provisional and temporary make-shifts without forfeiting its existence. Useful legislation, decorous debate, even, were becoming daily more difficult to secure, since the Assembly had begun to periodically resolve itself into a screaming, gesticulating mob, bandying threats, recriminations, and personal in sults, with a violence that would have been ludicrous had it not been suggestive of impending revolution. A common basis on which all Frenchmen may unite to work for their country’s advancement has been found at last. The “truce of Bor deaux” has served its turn, and it i- to be hoped that the organization of the seven years’ Republic will be proceeded with in a way which will fitly prepare France foi the lasting possessicn of popular govern ment.—New York Time*.

It is generally understood that there has haen for several years a growing conviction that the system of organization and adminis tration of the State Reform School—a system which was rendered necessary by the manner in which the* interior of tha Reform School building was arranged in its original construc tion,—seriously interlered with the success of that institution. For several years the Su perintendents of the institution have clearly seen the difficulties, and called attention to them. It was not, however, until last w inter that the Legislature, on the urgent recom mendation of the trustees and the governor, were brought to realize the necessity of a modification of the system, and to make pro visions for a remodeling of the interior of the Reform School building. Superintendent Wentworth has most earnestly and successful ly seconded the trustees in their plans of re form, and already, the results, even under the adverse circumstances attending the inevita ble disorder proceeding from the extensive re pairs going on in the building, have been such as to justify the most extravagant hopes for the futnre of the school. Heretofore the hoys in the Relorm School have necessarily been in one body—the hard ened and evil-minded associated with boys who were simply unfortunate, and in no way worse than average boys. Now, under the new arrangement of the building, the boys are divided into three classes or grades,—about forty in each grade, the first class being com posed of the best and most trustworthy boys, the second class being composed of those of a slightly lower standard morally, and the third class of the more depraved. Each class is kept separate, and given advantages propor tioned to the grade. Boys in the first or sec ond class are liable to be degraded to the low er class for improper conduct, and on the oth er hand boys in the third and second classes are entitled to promotion lor such conduct as shows that they merit such recognition. The effect of this classification Rnd promotion is already marvelous. The prison character of the institution has been done away with, and now neither class is put in a cell at night or under lock and key. The third class is watched carefully and kept under strict survcilancc. The second class are watched to a certain ex tent, and trusted so far as is considered safe. Both classes are treated w ith uniform kind ness, and put upon their honor. The first class are given neariy all the priv ileges that would be granted to the inmates of a hoarding school. They are allowed to play outside the yard, and are constantly treated as boys under no restraint beyond such as would be expected in any well-managed fam ily. Recently, all the members of the first class (4b boys) were allowed to spend a fore noon in the w oods at some distance from tiie house, without even an officer. At the ap pointed signal, every boy returned in good order, and happy to,think that lie had merit ed the confidence reposed in him. The place which the hoys were allowed to visit was one from which every hoy could have easily escaped. Saturday, the whole first-class were provided with tickets to the Industrial Exhibition in 1’ortland, and allowed to visit the same without being accompanied by an officer; and every boy conducted himself ap propriately, and returned to the school at the nuur. The success of the new system is beyond all 1 all anticipation, 'l'lie boys of the first class feel themselves highly privileged and trusted, and strive to merit the confidence reposed in them and the bays in the other classes strive to so conduct themselves as to merit promo tion to the first grade. It is intended to dis charge no boy before the expiration of his terme of sentence, unless he has for a certain tim maintained his rank in the first class; and friends of the lads ought not to seek their discharge until they thus demonstrate their worthiness. The improvements in the Re form School building will be completed by August, and when the new system can be carried out more thoroughly. However, the results thus far more than justily the most confidential anticipations of the earnest friends of the school, who predict that the in stitution will be the means of saving nearly all the boys placed there. Lewiston Journal. VISIT TO THE SHAKERS. To the Editor of the Journal: Doubtless many of vour readers have been privileged to visit this peculiar people, and perhaps some of them have very little or no idea of the manner in which they con duct their worship. Our party, ten in num ber, started from Windham Centre about half past seven o’clock Sunday morning, and niter a delightful and easy ride of fifteen miles through the towns of Windham, (dray and New Gloucester arrived at the Shaker village, situated in the latter town. The village was tlie very ideal of neatness, not a particle of rubbish or debris appearing visible. The meeting house was a very modest affair, and the day being very pleasant was filled to over flowing; the inside was neat and dean, not a spot appearing on floor, wall, or ceiling. We arrived in season to obtain a good seat, and are scarcely settled when the stroke of the bell announces the hour of service, a whisper goes around, “They are coming!" and al^ eyes are turned in expectancy towards the doors, when the Shakers, about fifty in num ber, enter, the men at one door and the women at the other. They pass to the open space in front and phalange facta, the sexes facing each ot^ier, they stand in silence with folded hands. Let us take a peep at them as they stand before us. The women old and young are dressed in white or drab, their dresses are all made precisely alike, without ruffle or flounce, the skirts are narrowly plait ed at the sides with a box-plait in front. There is no extraneous matter in either bust or bustle, und their shoulders are covered w ith neckerchiefs all pinned alike and without a wrinkle. On their heads are muslin caps which are also all cut after the same pattern; these arc without crown and fit closely to the hack of the head, their hair being short, and their stillly starched borders cover the checks. The women are entirely without jewel or The men ami boys’ clothes arc cut alike though not of the same color, the old men wear long coats, but the young men and hoys wear a sort of garment half vest and half coat without sleeves, and are consequently ill their shirt sleeves, the day being warm. The hair of the males is cut square across the forehead from temple to temple, w ith a tort of scallop to the top of the ear, behind which it hangs in the neck. One other peculiarity of dress of both male and female is their collars these are something after the form of an ordinary linen collar for a gentleman, and vary in height from half an inch to four inches according to the length of the neck. Imsginu if you can, these fitly Shakers standing before you in tbc manner and garb described and you will have a pretty correct idea ol the view which we now beheld. After these few moments of solemn silence, one of the elder brothers stepped to the front and addressed a few words to the spectators l introductory to their exercises, expressing his pleasure in seeing so many present, lie was followed by others who spoke briefly. Then followed tinging, accompanied with walking back and forth by the whole company whilt preserving their order. They now took theii scats to listen to a discourse of nearly an lioui by the one who opened the meeting. The subject of his discourse is found in Matthew, 92:29, “Ye do err, not knowing the scrip tures nor the power of God.” lie endcavorei' to portray to us the erring ways of tin world in not becoming Shakers. lie re ferred to Nebuchadnezzar's dream, relate! in the second chapter of Daniel, and repre sented the Shakers as the kingdom de-scribe! in the forty-fourth vc-rse of tins chapter, llis discourse was followed liy more walking back and forth, then came the dancing. About a dozen of them formed two rows facing in ward in thi> centre ol the floor, while the others went around them in double file, keep ing time to the singing with their hands as welt as the ir bodies. Ne-xtfollowed a few re marks from the sisters, one of whom, ad dressing the female portion of the audience, spoke of some of the issues of the present day, as the Temperance Reform and Woman's Rights, and said if they wished their brothers to make sacrifices lor them, they should also make sacrifices for their brothers; if they wished their brothers to lay aside the ine briating cup, they should cast oif some of the superfluous, ornamental matter with which ladies are encumbered. Then followed more dancing when the exercises closed. Our parly now proceeded to Mr. Ricker's hotel at Poland Mineral Spring, took dinner, drank of the waters of the spring, remained during the afternoon, during which there were several showers, when all was fair and bright. We closed the day willi a delightful ride back in the cool of the ^evening, pleased, satisfied, and very much instructed by our day's ex perience. Kt nos. Deering, June, 15, 1-S74. GEN Ell AI. NEWS.

On account of the storm yesterday, the Decoration exercises at the Soldiers' Home, Togus, was postponed until to-day. They will take place at 0 o’clock this afternoon. Col.

Crane of Hallowed!. The historica sermon was then delivered by Kev. 1)r Shailcr of Portland. lie announced his texl Leviticus xxv :10—“And ye shall hallow tiie fiftieth year.” These w ords were part of tiie civil law giv en to regulate the Jewish people; and we perceive a fitness in this division of time. Let this fiftieth year, the year of jubilee ol this convention, be hallowed by us and to us. It would be impossible to give an entire his tory of tiie past fifty years in a brief dis course. The ta«k rather belongs to the his torian than to the preacher. My object w ill be to speak ol its origin, progress and suu cess. T! e speaker then referred to the pre liminary movements for organizing a Baptist Missionary Convention, and delegates ap pointed from the three or four Associations in •the State to meet in Winthrop, June lt>24. In the organization cd' the body a series ol seven articles declared the objects and pur poses to- be accomplished. Strong assurances were given that this was r.ot to be an eccles tieal tribunal to interfere with the independ ence of the churches. The second annual meeting was held in Winthrop, and the subject of rendering min isterial educational facilities, was discussed, and measures adopted to that end. The speaker divided the fifty years into decades, and gave an interesting account of the prog ress of the work during each of the ten years embraced in the period. The wonderful ad vnnee of the denomination was alluded to; and an eloquent tribute was paid to the fathers of the church, w hose labors, trials and triumphs for this iite are ended. A glowing picture was presented of tiie next centennial year of jubilee of the convention, and the speaker closed with a pow erful defece of the doctrines and distinctive faith of the den mi nation, fairly electrifying the large audience with his eloquent appeal. At the close of the discourse the following original centennial hymn was sung by the choir, accompanied by the audience, to tiie tune of America. I luce*Oh Go«l, we raise ui 'v, glad song ol' praise— We Thee adore. With joy our hearts confess, Thou did>i our Jathei.- bles.-, Vnd crown with large siicce-.-, In day of vore.

Wednesday morning’s session was opened by prayer by Kev. Mr. Bryant, formerly pas tor ot the East Wintbrop church. A report was submitted by Kev. Dr. Shatter on obit uaries, after w hich a most interesting paper, referring to the early ministers of the denom ination, was read by Kev. C. G. Porter ol Bangor. No report we can give in brief would do justice to the production. It will be printed witli the minutes of the conven* tion, together with the discourse of Kev. .Mr. Shatter. The following original hymn j w as sung at the close of Mr Porter's address, the audience joining with the choir in the I good old tutu* ot “St. Thomas.” The fathers, where are they, The sainted men of tied, Who once, their hearts aglow* with love, These hills and valleys trod 'f We look for them in vain; They b it us one by one; “("me home,’' a voice celestial evic t, •lliy work on earth is done.’’ Dear Savior, thou didst speak; it w as thy sw eet behest The call to toil is thine, and thine The call to endless rest. The fathers arc with thee; Thy glory they behold, As now, within the pearly gates, They walk the streets of gold. There, too, may wo be found, When ends life’s Heeling day Our work well done, and thine the call That summons us away. Tim afternoon of Wednesday, until hal past four o’clock, was devoted to the interesti of the Maine Baptist Educational Society listening to the report of the Secretary, Kev C. M. Emery, and discussions on the genera Subject. At half-past four another session ofthe con vention was held, and Kev. Mr. Bixby, re turned foreign missionary, addressed tin convention. Keport of tho Committee oi Sabbath Schools was submitted by E. Kowell of llallowell. The convention will close in session, one of the most interesting of the en tire series, on Thursday noon. The utmos harmony prevailed throughout. The siuginj under the direction of Mr. W. II. Purlin, wai most excellent, and duly appreciated by tin convention.

fill Bmn and yet—although he himself sometimes called his wife "an old fuss, in rather angry tones—if any other man had called her so, he would have knocked him down in an instant. Isaac knew Susan was a valuable acqui sition to the farm, and that she had done quite as much as he to establish their pres ent thrifty condition in life. He would not be very likely to say this unless Csed by Susan herself; but then he w it was so. Moreover, Susan was Rwhen young, and in Isaac's eyes auty had never departed. She was quick and witty, and no joke ever brought so ready a laugh from Isaac as her re partee and, beyond all this, her love ior him was so manifest. She studied his pre ferences in everything. Nothing was too much for her to undertake if it was neces sary to Isaac’s comfort. She would milk the cows, churn, unload hay, weed the carrots—do anything rather than that Isaac should work beyond his strength. In fact she was more saviDgof his strength than of her own. “I’d rather die than to be left without Isaac,” she often said. Notwithstanding this devotion and the years of quiet happiness they had enjoyed together, there were occasional discords, which usually resulted in Isaac's inward conviction that he had a right to have his own way, and would not be ruled by his wife. It must be acknowledged that Susan s discernment rather exceeded her husband’s and that often in these little family jars she was in the right, and she knew it. But instead of quietly waiting for events to dovelope these facts, with a pretty sharp tongue, she often tried to convince Isaac to induce him to yield the point to her. She might as well have undertaken to move the Andes with a crowbar. About two weeks after that cold 1 >ecem ber day, during which the tea kettle had been tilled, every morning, by Isaac, and as often refilled by Susan from the cleaned pump, Isaac, after seating himself at the dinner-table, very coolly made the follow ing announcement: “Lulu Sanders brought me a letter from the boys, this morning." “Why didn’t you tell me before ex claimed Susan, irritated at Isaac’s apparent indifference to what was so fraught with interest to her. “What do they write? Are they well? Is the baby sick Why don’t you tell me Where’s the letter “No, no! They’re well enough! Do eat yonr dinner said Isaac,' who, although he could never keep anything from Susan, enjoyed letting it out as a span-worm moves, at measured distances. “Are they coming up!" “Didn’t write anything about it.” “Has Frank got over the measles “Don’t know.’’ “Business good, isn’t it “Didn’t say.” “Give me the letter.” “It’s in my overcoat out in the barn.’’ “Tell me what’s in the letter, or I’ll go right out there and get it.” “Ha, ha, ha!” (Isaac enjoys this.) “Nothing in particular in it. Twas mostly* bout Square Hill’s horses,’’ “What do we care for Square Hill’s horses “Nothing only he’s got four he wants to get kept the rest of the winter, and the boys thought I might like to take ’em.” “Oh, shaw! Didn’t they write anything else?” “Not much.” “Going to take the horses “Yes; I guess so, ’twill be good pay.” “Will they send ’em up?” “No! guess I’ll start for Boston in the morning and bring ’em up myself.” ["continued to-morrow.] ZENAS THOMPSON, JR., (Successor to J.
