Fiiday Morning, December 23. 1870. ■teceat Publications. Among the holiday juvenile? that have been published this year, we know of none that will take higher rank than the Puss-Cat Mew Stories, by E. A. Knatchbulk-Huges sen, M. P., published by Harper and Broth ers. The story which gives the book its title, founded on the old rhyme ‘•Pues-cat Mew ju«ipe<l overs coal; In her best petticoat burnt a great bole; Puss-c.t Mew sban'c have anv milk I’Hl her b st petticoat’s mended with allk.'* is only the first of twenty-one short tales— mostly of fairies, ogres, etc. Unlike most fairy tales these stories have a spice of humor that is quite unusual. There are eight illus trations. Loring, Short and Harmon have it. Beecher bids fair to be one of the most vo luminous writers living, though he does only a moderate amount of writing with his own hand. The series of his sermons being fin ished, their editor, Lyman Abbott, has pub lished Morning and Evening Exercises, se lected from the great preacher’s published and unpublished writings. The purpose of the collection is well stated in the editor’s brief preface. He say?: Henry Ward Beecher’s congregation is not confined to that which assembles within the walls of Plymouth Church. Alike in the par lors of the wealthy and the cultured, and in the log cabins of the poor and the self-exiled, his words are welcomed—a comfort to those in trouble, a solace lo^those in sickness, a strength to those in the midst of the battle. To this great congregation, counted by tens of thousands, who have profited by his teach ing, though they have rarely or never listen ed to his voice, this volume is dedicated by the editor. Published by Harper Broth ers, and for sale by Loring, Short and Har mon. TI is ATOCnfiVofinn t a L nr.A it.- i. _ 1 joyment of such a book as Aspendale serious ly impaired by a mistake iu biudiDg that puts the duplicate of fifteen pages in the place of fifteen others that seem likely to be the most entertaining in the volume. One does not" need to see the name of Harriet W. Preston, on the title page to feel sure that it is a wo man’s production. There pervades it that indesci ibable flavor indicating its origin which is found in alt but one in a thousand hooks written by (women, George Sand, George Eliot, Mrs. Stowe,—these are three that have escaped it, but they are almost alone in this century. The author of Aspendale has pro duced a book of very uneven merit. She stems to us to succeed best in that which she least values. No one can fail to observe a quite remarkable sensitiveness to Um aspects of nature. Pew can describe how the brooks sound in April, how the fields and woods as sume their pathetic brown in the late fall, how the days soften and brighten in the early spring, so impressively and with so much gen uine poetic teelin? as our author. But there are a great many who can discuss literature, music,social philosophy, the woman question, metaphysics ami theology to much more pur pose. Unfortunately the author’s plan con templates chiefly the last, and the first only incidentally. Except an uncommonly vigo rous attack upon the spirit of caste eviuced in some of the later writings ot Dr. Holmes, (whose heart is right, wherever his head may lead him) there is little that is editying in this part of the book. But there are plenty of evidences of uncommon literary power in an embryo state, and if it were directed to the recital of events, like the episode of poor Paul, who is dragged into the book by vio lence, but who makes au appallingly natural figure there, something remarkable might come of it.

James Mace inter viewed him. The conversation and the scene were very touching, according to the report: Mace—'Ow har you, hold fellow. Kit—Poorly, lad, poorly. Mace—You ain’t been sick long,’ave yon? Kit—Not very; but old Kit Burns ain’t no use now, lad; he’s about played. Mace—I’m betting hodds you’ll be ball right in a little time. You must come and sea me punau uu ouuum. tynatsme matter witn you, hany 'owf Kit—Bad throat—used up—no account no more, no how. I’ll teli you how it is, Jem. I’m blowed if it ain’t too bad; but,-, I hale to leave Mustard (a favorite do?) and the old ooman. Coburn won’t fight you will he, though Mace—I don’t think he will, Kit. Them’s nice pictures (pointing to the engravings on the wall). There’s Tom King; l licked him twice. That’s good of Alex Keene. And there’s Benoigo, too! Cook at that black, Bob Traves; he was a good man, Kit. And there’s Bob Brettle:I fought him twice; he was a ’ard un, sure. Look at Tom Paddock along side my poor old friend Tom Sayers. I went to see him afore they pegged out, Kit, aDd I will never forget it. Ow are you, Ben Caunt, right between Tom Spriag and the Tipton Slasher And there’s Parker, and Orme, and Hurst, end Cobleyl By-1 Kit, them’s good. Kit—Look at them others, lad; ain’t them gooduns? Mace—There’s Morrissey, and Heenan, and Gallagher. Look at Tom Allen; ain’t he good But-he never was the man that shows him. There’s Jim Cusick, too; he’s a bad un, Kit. Kit—That he is. Look at your own phiz, Jim. Mace—I never looked so well in my life; but them’s good of Aaron Jones and Harry Lazarus and Tom Hyer and Billy MulligaD. Yankee Sullivan stands like a man, don’t he? Look at that big loafer, Joe Coburn, too, and Mike McCoole, and Barney Aaron, right be tween Billy Edwards, with his big nose, and Sam Colver, with his long arms. It ain’t no use talking, Kit, them’s nice. Come, old boy, let’s take a drink. Kit—Excuse me, young fellow, I’m played; can’t drink no more. (Here Kit began shiv ering, and was at once attended by his wife.) Mace—Well, me and these gentlemen will drink your health, Kit, and we’il come and see you again. Kit—Yes, come and wake the old man when he bands in his checks. I’m going a a long yourney—lay still, Snoozer (to the dog, who began barking.) Good bye, Jim. Mace (much affected)—Good bye, Kit; I’ll round again. A Heroic French Soldier.—Heroism stiil exists in the world, and exists in the humblest ranks of life. On October 8th chloroform had beguu to give out in Metz. The wounded were pouring in, but so little was in the medical stoies that the surgeons were obliged to economize it for the serious cases. A foot chasseur of the guard was brought into the operating room. His band was crushed, and it became necessary to re move the fifth metacarpal bone, the suppoit of the little finger. He came on foot. He would not leave his musket, which he had slung by the bandoleer. “Well, my friend,” said the surgeon, “we must perlorm a little operation here." “I knew it, monsieur; tbat’t why I came here.” “Do you want to be put to sleep?” “Of course, I suffered so much last night that 1 shall not resist it—you wish it very much. Weil, yes! O, but it is very scarce, isn’t it, that stuff you know that puts a lellow to sleep? We are almost out. Well, well, just you keep it for the boy that loses a leg or an arm—only look alive!’’ He stuck his poor blue cravat all bloody as it was between 1 ins teeth, lay down and stretched out his hand. The operation was performed. “Did you suffer much “Vou bet I did,but what’s that, poor fellows must help each other.” In its way, this story of a simple foot-soldier matches the tale of Sir Philip Sidney’s gener ous self denial on the field ol Zutphen. —What becomes of thr cigar stumps “Ear ly promenaders ia Broadway and Fifth Aven ue,” says the New York Commercial Adver tiser, “if they are at all observing, will see an old man in a blue blouse, and carrying a dirty bag, engaged in picking up the unsmoked tip-ends of cigars, known among the boys as ‘old sobers.’ We had occasion to observe the industrious old man picking up 'these incon siderate trifles the other morning, and to stop him and interrogate him him as to the uses to which he put his cigar tips. He [related his story and it ran to this effect: After a morn ing’s work he takes home what ho has gather ed up, washes the tip3 out in a large tub, and when cleansed culs them up and sells them to certain cigar makers, who nse them for ‘fill ings’ in the making of cigars. This old man can tell the genuine Havana tobacco from the ordinary American leaf; one is much more valuable than the other. We have uo doubt it often occurs that smokers smoke the same cigar twice. We are glad to see this evidence of economy manifesting itself. Where noth ing goes ts waste everything must go well.” I MU per annum, in anranvc. On the subject of religious liberty at Rome, I wish to make a special point. At the meet ing at St. Patrick’s last Sunday the restora tion of the temporal power was urged on this ground: “We demaud it iu the name of re ligious freedom and the rights of conscience.” What, then, is religious liberty at Rome? It is that no man can be a citizen or hold office who is not a member of the Roman Catholic Church. It is that no Protestant place ot worship is allowed within the city walls.— Such worship was held there for a time, under our flag, at the house of our embassador, but it was driven out. Not even a Sabbath school or a prayer meeting, or a Bible reading circle at a private house is allowed within the walls. What has the Pope of Rome to do with relig ious liberty? Hus lie not cnrsed it In bis En cyclical, and banished the veiy shadow ot it from the seven hills? Or do those who ask the restoration of his temporal power suppose that we have read no history? Where was religious liberty when those poor people were hunted Irom their homes in tin- valley ot the Loyse, in 1-188; where was it when more than 50 000 of the Albigenses, men, women and children, were put to death by the Pope’s or ders in the yearl20J? Or where was it when another massacre occurred at the siege ot Magdeburg, in 1081 Or where on St. Bar tholomew’s Day, or during the Irish massacre, or at the burning ot John Huss, or at the driving of the Madaii family into exile, or at the stealing ot the Mortarce boy? What au outrage is it on our intelligence and common sense to ask the restoration of the Pope “in the name of freedom of religion, and tba rights of conscience!”— Rev. Dr. Tkompton. —A correspondent of the Troy Times at Fort Edward tells a horrible .story of the de pravity of human nature. A circus clown re siding not far from Fort Edward, who boards a mistress m a notel near that place, came in to the village a day or two since to purchase a coffin for his deceased wife. After he had placed the coflin in his wagon, he went into a store, called for cigars, cracked jokes, and gambled for prize candy; and alter iaTiting the people to come to the funeral ou the mor row, returned home, taking bis mistress along. His neighbors have not mobbed him yet. —The latest thing in funeral processions in the West, is a wagon to precede the hearse bearing a bell, which is tolled on route to the grave. A Double Mubdeb bt a Blind Bor.— Few erirnes have lately been recorded that are more horrible than tbe murder of a father aud mother at Stepbentown, N. V., on the 13th iust., by Asa Kittle, a young man aged 20. who had been blind from infancy. The horrible particulars are as follows: It appears that between four and five o’clock Thursday afternoon, Martha, the daughter in-law ot the Kittles, and who lived in the same house with them, in the town of 8teph town, left the house and asked Asa to take care ot the babe; he sat in the room to do so when his father entered in an intoxiwated con dition and desired to take tbe baby. Asa, it seems, refused to permit this, when tbe iaiber seized tbe cbild by force. Asa followed bis father, attempting to recover tbe child, aud fin ally Martha, tbe daughter, entered and took it herself. Meantime the father bud pushed Asa from the house, when tbe latter, accoruiug to his own testimony, became angry, and wrnt to a draw, took out a seven-shooting revolver, aud theu followed his lather. Bis mother tried to interlere, and while doing so the revolvet was discharged and tbe contents of one barrel entrred tbe moth er's stomach, killing her almost iusiautly. Tbe so Asa then followed hi* father, seemingly ia a blind rage, having dropped the pi.tol on tbe floor. He afterwards picked it up again and followed his father into an adjoining room and shot him, tbe ball entering the chin aud pass ing up through the skull, killing tbe lather al so inat&ully. Tbe daughter, Martha, had heard lbs noise and scuffling, and seeing h-r mother fall, ran on: in fright to tbe wood-shed, and heard the scuffls with the father. On re turning she found Asa sitting outopof ber father’s breast, holdiDg tbe head of tbe dead man between bis bauds and dashing it against tbe floor, crying, “I’ll kill you, G—d d—n you. I'm a murderer, G—d d—n you. I’m a pilgrim, G—d d—n you. I made wav with the pistol and I’ll make way with you,G—d d—n you."

DAILY PRESS. PORTLAND. Friday Morning, Deoc mbebr 23.1870. N*l laiiuilMe. Our Washington correspondent yesterday vindicated the good faith of the members of the House in voting for the repeal of the franking privilege. At the same time he ar gued strongly against the desirability of tbe repeal. His state of feeling is very much like that of the Representatives themselves, we imagine. He is opposed to the repeal of the franking privilege, but is conscious of an im mense adverse pressure from outside. Con gressmen, with only two years tenure of office, are obliged to conceal their real feeling, and, as a matter of form, vote to do that which they know will not meet the approval of the more independent Senate. We have seen outbursts of virtuous indignation over aspersions upon the perfect honor and sin cerity of Congressmen before, and know how to appreciate them. When Gen. Butler was rebuked by a judge for speaking disrespect fully of a Harvard professor, soon after the execution of Webster, he replied, “Why, your Honor, we hung one of them the other day.” With the example of Fernando and Ben Wood, John Morissey, Whittemore, Butler of Tennessee, Gollady, Wimpey, Sprague, Saulsbury, Yates and other black legs, forgers, bigamists, gamblers and drunk ards who adorn tbe halls of Congress, we suppose that members of Congress average about the same as other people as respects morals. Some of them are very good men, and some cf them, like those we have named, are very bad—too bad for any place, to say nothing of their position as members of the highest legislative body in the world. The position ef our correspondent that these men ate above criticism, is calculated to excite indignation were it not for its ex treme absurdity. Deplorable indeed would be tbe condition of the American people if they were compelled to submit with res pectful and awe*struck silence to whatever the Hon. John Morrissey, or the Hon. Fer nando Wood may say or do. The Excluded Teniamr of Mr*. Hon well. Mrs. Jana L. Hoswell last week made a sworn statement before Justice Gilman of Hallowell, in regard to the transactions con nected with the Hallowell tragedy. It will be remembered that at the trial her testimony was excluded by the conrt. The principal feature of her statement is a continued nar rative of her troubled married life with nos well. We condense it, giving some of the principal facts, without regard to dates, but they occur in the order given. She says that she was divorced irom her first husband Smith (who was guilty of adultery) at the so licitation of Hoswell, who agreed to pay the expenses of the divorce. They were married July 8,1861. The weak of their marriage he tore her dress off because one of the boarders passed her some cake at the table. The same autumn he beat her little boy black and blue iu her absence, and when she reproved him be burned her clothes. He appropriated a $5 gold piece which a lady bad dropped in their room, and in order to recover it Mrs. Hoswell gave him $14 which she bad earned in the mill. Once be stole money and a gold locket from her, which caused them to be turned out ot tbeir boarding bouse. At one lime be cause she associated with a woman who lived in the same bouse with them, be quarreled with her, and just as she was about putting her little boy to bed, Hoswell poured hot water over the bed, scalding the child. Soon after Hoswell threatened her life because she picked a few cherries from a neighbor’s gar den by the invitation of the owner. Mrs. Hoswell says: “He choked me, and I got the best of him; then he said “G—d d—n you, make your last prayerand then got the bottle of fluid and threw it over me, and stiuck a match and set me on fire; but 1 managed to save myself from burning to death, by wrapping up in the bed-clothes. He was arrested, but by her efforts was re leased. At another time she was talking with a neighbor in the back yard when Hos well turned a pail of slops out of the window on her. Sbe accused hrm of it, and was turn ed out of the bouse and her things thrown after her. Three months after sbe called to see a little girl who bad been burned. For this be beat and choked ber, and drove her out of tbe bouse again, and threw her clothes after her. Two days after he came aftpr and she went back with him. Another trouble was the result of her spend ing an afternoon with a. lady member of the Methodist church. He quarreled with her and afterwards said if sbe would for give him he would get up and get his own breakfast. Alter eating his breakfast he put arsenic in the tea-pot aud she drank the tea. The dose was too large and vomited her. 8he was sick lor a long time, however, from the ef fect of the poison. He paid part of the doctor's bill, and sbe made shirts to pay the balance. At Jersey City he turned her ov.t of the house at 9 o’clock at night, and she slept in the sbed. When he came home next day sbe had dinner ready and awaiting him. Again, he threatened to shoot her, and sbe took his revolver away. For this he turned her out of doors and tore up her clothes. Nothing further worthy of special notice, occurred until the first of July last at Hallo well, when Hoswell entered a complaint to the City Marshal against Mr. Laflin for allow ing Mr. Knights to sing in bis shop, as it took her attention away from her work. Up to this time she bad not had any conversation with Laflin more than to say*’good morning.” The narrative goes on to say that on the 23d of July Mrs. Hoswell went to Augusta to get her money from the Savings bank preparatory to goingjto Hermon to pay the note on the farm. She says: “X did not dare to come down in the cars for fear Hoswell would see me and fight with me on the car. I started to walk, and got down to the State House, when 1 met Dr. Thompson, who procured me a ride with a man by the name of Gardiner, whom X did not know. That evening I told Hpswell what I went to Augusta for, but he said I was a *'6-d d-n liar," and then put on his coat and started for Dr. Thompson’s. He came back soon, and said I bad been riding all the afternoon with that man. He then knelt down and prayed, |and then took his pistol from his pocket, and with an oath said he would give me just five minutes to tell him what I was up to Augusta for. X told him I had told him the truth. Then he commenced to tear up my clothes. He told me to leave or he would shoot me dead, and cocked ths pistol. I ran out of the house and went for th j City Marshal, who came and arrested him. After that we never lived together, although he had tried to induce me to live with him, and acknowledged to two lawyers that he had bed about me at the trial before the Police Court. Upon this I consented not to go be fore the Grand Jury in August and swear against him. He used to come down to the house every Sunday, and stopped all night twice. On one of the Sunday nights when be stayed with me all night, he promised to give me all the money he had—seven dollars, if I would let him stay. The other Sunday night he gave me a water-proof cloak because X let him sleep with me. He also came two or three times a week besides, but never stopped all night because I refused to let him. On one of these nights that Hoswell was here, Mr. Laflin passed out through the back j,uiu Ji»ue, wuisuiug. vvnen ue passed back Hoswell and I stood in the back door, and Hoswell said—“What is that d-d son of ah-h whistling around here for? I dou t think be means aiy good, and I will catch him yet.” The next morning Mr. Laflin asked me why HosweH did not speak to him, and l told him it was because he was mad, and said he did not think he meant any good. Laflin s reply was that he did not mean any wot speak to us, for be did not believe I had done anything wrong. Soon after this, one Sunday, when Hoswell was dowD, he said, “I don't believe Laflin means any good in bringing you down so much trom bis garden.” I told him I Xavs na!d him for the things. Hoswell said ‘‘I don’t think he means any good, and 1 will catch him yet!” The next night Hoswell sent in for Laflin to settle the trouble between Hoswell and mysell; but Mr. Laflin afterwards refused Monday, Sept. 12tb, I went to Carmel, anther exercises. YORK COUNTY. Mr. Oliver Smith, of Kennebunkport, while aelping reef the mainsail of schooner Frank, of Kcunebunk on the afternoon of the 21st, near the Isle of Shoals, was knocked overboard by (be boom. The wind being heavy and the mainsail dowD, the schooner could not he broushttoo in season to save him. Mr. Smith was 31 years of age,unmarried and a temper ate and worthy man. George Reynolds, who has been carrying on operations as entry and clothes thief in Dover, N. H., was arrested in Biddeiord last Monday. The Biddeford Democrat says the copora tors of the Portland Rutland Railroad Co. seem determined to head off, if they can. the building ot the Saco River railroad. They propose to ask the Legislature lor permission to change the location of their road and build a branch to Saco. Oi course the inteution is to do away with the propriety of the Saco River road. It calls upon the friends of the river road to look out that they are not headed off. A party of Engineers occompanied by Col. Herrick aDd others of Allred, have been dur ing the past week making a preliminary sur vey and examination ot the route tor a rail road from or near Wells depot to Alfred. SPECIAL NOTICES.

Hating for the last thirty-five years devoted my whole time and attention to the study of lung diseases and con sumption, I feel that I understand fully the course that ought to be pursued to restore a tolerably bad case of diseased lungs to healthy soundness. The first anil most important step is, for the patient to avoid taking cold; ana the best of all places on this continent for this pur pose, in winter, is Florida, well down in the State, where the temperature is regular, and not subject to such varia tions as in more northern latitudes. Palatka is a point I ean recommend. A good hotel is kept there by Peter man. Last winter I saw several persons there whose lungs had been badly diseased, but who, under the heal ing influence of the climate and my medicines, were get ting well. One hundred miles farther down the river Is a point which I would prefer to Palatka, as the temperature is more even and the air dry and bracing. Mellonvillc and Enterprise are located there. I should give a decided {)reference to Mellonville: it Is two miles from river or &ke, and It seems almost impossible to take cold there. The tables In Florida might be better, and patients com plain at times; but that is a good sign, as it indicates a return of appetite: and, when this is the case, they gen erally increase in flesh, and then the lungs must heal. Jacksonville, Hibernia, Green Cove, and many other places in various parts of Florida can bo safely recom mended to consumptives in winter. My reasons for say ing so arc, that patients are less liable to take cold there than where there is a less even temperature; and it is not necessary to say, that, where a consumptive person exposes himself to frequent colds, he is certain to die shortly: therefore my advice is, go well down into the State, out of the reach of prevailing east winds and fogs. Jacksonville, or almost any other of the localities I havo named, will benefit those who are troubled with a torpid liver, a disordered stomach, deranged bowels, sore throat, or cough; but. for those whose lungs are diseased, a more southern point is earnestly recommended. For fifteen years Prior to 18C9,1 was professionally in New York, Boston, Baltimore, anil Philadelphia every week, where I saw and examined on an average five hundred patients a week. A practice so extensive, em bracing every possible phase of lung disease, has enabled me to understand the disease folly; and hence my caution in regard to taking cold. A person may take vast quanti ties of Schenck’s Pulmonic Syrup, Seaweed Tonic, and Mandrake Pills/* and yet die if he does not avoid taking cold. In Florida, nearly everybody Is using Schenck’s Man drake Pills; for the climate is more likely to produce bilious habits than more northern latitudes. It is a well established fact, that natives of Florida rarely die of con sumption, especially those of the southern part. On the other hand, in New England, one-third at least of the population die of this terrible disease. In the Middle States, it docs not prevail so largely; still there are many thousands of cases there. What a vast percentage of life would be saved if consumptives were as easily alarm ed in regard to taking fresh colds as they are about scar let fever, small-pox, Ac. I but they are not: theytuko what they term a little cold, which they are credulous enough to believe will wear off in a few days. They pay no attention to it; and hence it lays the foundation for another and another still, until the lungs arc diseased be yond all hope of cure. My advice to persons whose lungs are affected, even slightly, is to lay in a stock of Schenck’s Pulmonic Syrup, Schenck’s Seaweed Tonic, and Schenck’s Mandrake Pills, and go to Florida. I recommend these particular medi cines, because I am thoroughly acquainted with their action. I know, that, where they are used ill strict ac cordance with my directions, they will do the work that is required. This accomplished, nature will do the rest. The physician who prescribes for cold, cough, or night sweats, ami then advises the patient to walk or ride out every aay, wiu ue sure to nave a corpse on ills Hands before long. My plan is, to give my three medicines In accordance with the printed directions, except in some cases where a freer use of the Mandrake Tills is necessary. My object is, to give tone to the stomach, —to get up a good appe tite. It is always a good sign when a patient begins to grow hungry: 1 have hopes of such. With a relish for food, and tho gratification of that relish, comes good blood, and with it more flesh, which is closely followed by a healing of the lungs, then the cough loosens aiul abates, the creeping chills and clammy night sweats no longer prostrate and annoy, and the patient gets well, provided he avoids taking cold. Now, there are many consumptives who have not the means to go to Florida. The question may be asked, Is there no hope for such Certainly there is. My advice to such is, and ever has been, to stay in a warm room during the winter, with a temperature of about seventy degrees, which should be kept regularly at that point by means of a thermometer. Let such a patient take his exercise within the limits of tho room by walking up and down as much as his strength will permit, in order to keep up a healthy circulation of the blood. I have cured thousands by this system, and can do so again. Con sumption is as easily cured as any other disease. If it is taken in time, and the proper kind of treatment is pur sued. The fact stands undisputed on record, that Sclienck’s Tulmonic Syrup, Mandrake Tills, and Sea weed Tonic have cured very many of what seemed to be hopeless cases of consumption. Oo where j ou will, you will be almost certain to find some poor consumptive who has been rescued from the very jaws of death by their So far as the Mandrake Tills are concerned, everybody should keep a supply of them on hand. They act on the liver better than calomel, and leave none ot its hurtful effects behind. In fact, they are excellent in all cases where a purgative medicine is required. If you havo partaken too freely of fruit, and diarrhoea ensues, a dose of tho Mandrakes will cure you. If you are subject to ’sick headache, take a dose of the Mandrakes, and they will relieve you in two hours. 1 f you would obviate tho effect of a change of water, or the too free Indulgence In fruit, take one of tho Mandrakes every night, and you may then drink water, and eat water melons, pears, ap ples, plums, peaches, or corn, without the risk of being made sick by them. 1 hey will pr#ect those who live in damp situations against chills and fevers.

Thursday.—The complaint against Francis O’&ie ly for keeping and selling intoxicating liquori was iurther continued. The liquors and vessels seized on the premises oi various persona were declared forfeited and ordered to be destroyed. Brief Jaliiaga. The new barque Samuel B. Hale, a descrip tion of which we published on our first page Wednesday morning, sailed for Buenos Ayres yesterday. A party of gentlemen accompanied her as iar as Bangs' Island in the tug “War rior,” and bade her bon voyage. Two of the vespels ashore on Bangs' Island went to pieces yesterday and the third is fast breaking nn. The lecture of ltev. W. H. H. Murray before the A. N. U. lakes place next Thursday eve ning. The weather was tbe coldest yet yesterday.— The thermometer indicated 14 deg. at G A. M The streets were lively with Beekers after Christmas goods. The season tickets for the opera next week sold rapidly yesterday, over GOO being taken between nine and eleven o'clock in the morn ing. Only to-day remains to secure tickets as tbe sale ot siugle night tickets commences to morrow. The gallery seats will be found among the best for music and will be made as comfortable as those in the parquette. We understand that the tickets for the dance to be given by the Portland Light Infantry to the Capital Guards ou Monday- evening next are in great demand and the probability is that one of the handsomest parties will be as sembled in City Hall that evening that has graced its floor this year. Don’t forget Mr. Barnes’ assembly at Flu ent's Hall to-night. His dances are very de lightful. Those fine maps of the city can now be pro cured at the City Hall. General Brinkerhofl is stopping at the Fal mouth Hotel. Isaac M. Pike of Cape Elizabeth, in attempt ing to get out of his carriage while at Saccarap pa, Wednesday, made a misstep and fell and broke his leg. It was set by a doctor in that town. A movable ticket office has been built and placed in the corridor of the City Building. We are in error in stating yesterday morn ing that the case of Goodnow vs. Milliken et. als. has been decided in favor of defendants.— Decision has not yet been announced. The following is the route of tbe procession on the arrival of the Capital Guards on Mon day, Down Commercial to Park, up Park to York, through to State, through State to Con gress, down Congress and Midd'e to Exchange and thence to City Hall, where the guests will be welcomed by the Mayor, after which they will be escorted to their quarters at the Preble House. Citizens living on the route of tbe procession are requested to display their flags. Messrs. Bandall,: McAllister Co., have |/utvuwcu iu xuia oiicaiu |nupcnut which the; propose to put on the route be tween this city and the Ferry. She is fifty four leet long, by fifteen feet beam, copper fas tened, with double engines and was built for a yacht. Bbe will be put ou tbe route as soon as sbe arrives, which which will probably be in the course of a week. Tbe Portland and Ogdensburg railroad will be opened to West Baldwin on Monday for passengers and freight A turn-table and water station have been put in at that place. We are pleased to chronicle the birth of a daughter to Johanna, wife of Pehr O. Julen, ou December 8tb, in New Sweden. This is the second native American that has arrived in our Swedish colony. The reader of a family paper little realizes how much is had lor a small sum of that which is of real and permanent value. Tbe Good Things from tbe columns of tbe Boston Con grcgationalist is an illustration in point. It is a racy 16 mo. full of thought and a readable book for family or school. This second ven ture of this poDular paper is an encourage ment to other journals. The alarm of fire at 7 1-2 o’clock last eve ning was caused by the burning out of the chimney of Holyoke’s planing mill at the foot of Park street. No damage was done. Exhibition Drill—The High School Ca dets had a private drill exerc'ise at the drill room in Market Hall last evening in presence of the officers of the Blues and Infantry and a few invited guests. This was in preparation for a graud public exhibition which they pro pose to give after tbe holidays are over. The exercises consisted of the manual, the school of the soldier, the skirmish di ill and bayonet ex ercise, with and without command. We con fess to a feeling of teal gratification at the pro ficiency which they exhibited. The most per fect time was observed, and every movement was like tbe action of delicately adjusted ma chinery. Tbe lads deserve the highest en comiums for tbeir skill, and our veterans, who have achieved wonders as evolutionists, must look to tbeir laurels,for their are some boys be hind them that will “orick the side of their in tent” most lustily. These school-boys are go ing to surprise their friends by-aud-by, and they are entitled to the highest honors. They have profiled by good examples aod are deter mined to have no superiors in tbeir line as cit izen soldiers. Steamer City of Richmond.—Are tbe mer chants of Portland aware of the great advan tages derived by them in the keeping of the steamer City of Richmond on the ronte to Ma chias during the winter season? We know of one large trade, amounting toman; thousands of dollars, that was prevented going to Boston simply by having this steamer on the route. Sbe left last night for tbe Eastward with a large freight, all from Portland merchants, which gives great encouragement to the own ers to keep here on tbe line. Let our mer chants do all in their power to strengthen and enlarge the trade between Portland and the Eastern section of the State, and there will he do difficulty in haviDg a steamer on tbe route an uit* year lurougu. Saccaeafpa.—The second ot the musical and rhetorical entertainments given by the L. M. C. Wednesday evening was a highly suc cessful one. The Good Templars’ Hall was well filled, and the sale of chromos, books, etc., took place during a recess. Being Forefathers’ Eve, tbe recitations were patriotic in senti ment, and without exception excellently ren dered. A dialogue by ten young ladies and singing by tbe Philharmonic Society, aided by Miss Adilie Cary, were well received. The patronage extended to these popular and ele vating entertainments is alike creditable to the Community and encouraging to the ladies un der whose auspices they are held. Labceny of a Gold Watch.—Albert Joy, who has been at work at Jordan’s stable on Pearl street, was discharged by his employer Thursday morning. Immediately after his dis charge he went to Jordan's house and in formed Mrs. Jordan that her husband wanted his wallet. While she was lookiog for it Joy stole her husband's gold watch, with a masonic pin attached tu it, and cleared out for Yar mouth od foot. Mr. Jordan was soon after him in a horse and buggy, and overtook him very near Yarmouth village. Joy’s first dis position was to run; but finding that Jordan would have him, quietly delivered himself up. Mr. Jordan brought him to the police station In this city, having recovered his property. Joy was locked up. He is only fifteen years old. The Stab Glee Clcb.—This fine organiza tion of vocalists will give a grand concert at City Wall to-night for the benefit of the A. M. E. Church Jn this city. The club numbers eight members and bears a good reputation for ability in Philadelphia. They are celored per sons, and tbe programme if a very inviting cne. We hope that the attendance will be large, and only regret that a want ot space necessitates such a brief notice. Police Items.—Yesterday the deputy mar shals made seizures of small quantities of liq uor at the shops of Matthew Stafford on New buty street, and Martin Flanagan on Monu ment street. Yesterday officer Field arrested a man on suspicion of stealing a horse blanket which he had sold for 75 cents, and, which, after telling one or two different stories, he said he bad purchased of a boy for 25 cents. The man was locked up. If any one has lost a horse blankel he is requested to call at the station and iden tify it. Saata Klaus. This glorious winter weather with hr'gbc sunshine, clear blue sky, and bracing a.m piiete still continues aud the slreers and stores are tilled with denser crowds as the festal day of Christinas draws nearer. Among our book-stores that have stood the test of time as being provided with as costly and varied a library as any in Portland, is that of Hall L. Davis, 54 Exchange street. This firm is the oldest book firm in the city estab lished 45 years ago by Hall J. Little, and has always been kept in the family. Not only are bis counters loaded with a literary banquet that would have delighted the heart of a Dom inie Sampson clad in their beautilul bindings of the fiuest Russia and Turkey morocco em bossed in gilt and Iresli from the great, publish ing houses of the Anpletons, J.

Portland people are iond of music and their taste is being cultivated and developed more and more every day. AmoDg our most promi nent music stores is that of Ira C. Stock bridge, No. 156 Exchange street. Here can be found a most enticing variety of all kinds of musical merchandise, music boxes, musical in struments, piano and vocal gift books. Mr. Stockbridge is able and smart and has built up a first rate business in this ciiy. He is also quite a publisher and almost every musical composer known is represented among tbe sheet music kept on hand by him. Can anything more welcome or more appro priate be offered to a friend than an elegant paintiDg. We therefore urge our readers to remember our favorite art ist Harry B. Brown. His studio at No. 17 Free street, is filled with gems of art the result of his summer labors many of which we have described in a former issue. A charming little marine, a quiet view of the love'y scenes about Sebago Lake, or one of those beautiful India Ink sketches would serve as a cultivator ef an artistic taste and add grace and refinement to any house hold. If you would prefer a little Christmas excitement procure a ticket in that magnifi cent picture “Morning on the Northern Coast” at Hale's and if you are not so fortu nate as to secure the chief prize you may come out second or third best and then can pick any thing you like from tbe collection in Harry’s studio. Messrs. S. C. Smith A Co., (formerly Pray A Smith) No. 279 Congress street have been adding to their valuable stock of ladies goods until now they have aoproached j ust as near perlection as it is possible fer fancy goeds deal ers to get. For Christmas purposes they have everything desirable in laces and French em broideries. For cheaper goods they have all styles ot collars, cuffs and chemisettes in linen, either plain, embroidered or Valenciennes edg ed, handkerchiefs with plain hemstitched bor ders, or worked with an initial in tbe corner. These latter make very pretty as well as very nanfnl erifto o nil oro ol motrj QPfinnfoliln Thate line of buttons is very extensive as well as rib bons, gloves, hosiery eto. J. W. H. H. McDuffie on the corner of Union Middle streets will not be neglected by our gift buyers. Tbe view through tbe win dows charms the spectator, and a closer exam ination of th3 unique and beautiful wares in spires a desire for the purso of Fortuoatus, that one might purchase without restraint.— Messrs. McDuffie offer for tbe holidays seme of the most exquisite things that can be found in watches, jewelry, silver ware, statuary, bronzes and paintings. Their marble clocks are things of beauty, and their choice fans are miracles oj delicate art and loveliness. Tbe rarest gems in costly and appropriate settings are there for those who desire to make munifi- cent presents; jewelry of tbe most modern i patterns are temptingly displayed'before those who are seeking such elegast adornments; while the assortment of rich lancy goods has rarely been equalled in extent and variety. Our friends Haves Douglass, No. 148 Middle street are prepared to meet all their friends and furnish them with anything and everything in the crockery line, Their Parian statuettes that fill their windows, pure and delicate* as the light snow that serves as a mantle over the eradle of Christmas Present, are a joy to the eye and put the desire into the mind to send one where it will be heartily welcomed. Then their great stook cf games, beautiful glass ware so iragile and yet so ex quisite in its designs like the sportive efforts of Jack Frost on tbe window pane on a keen Christmas morning, vases that have exhaust ed tbe art of all nations, and many other rare and beautiful goods will please all. “Sweets to tbe sweet.” Is there any of our rtaders that have ever heard of L. J. Perkins, No 287 Congress street? Well Perkins is a man that would have delighted Dickens. We can imagine tbe great novelist gazing into Ptrkin.s store window some evening just be fore Christmas when it is all ablaze with gas and beautifully trimmed with evergreen, with its stores of candles poured out in such a care less way as if reminding the spectator that an inexhaustible supply was concealed inside, the hundreds of fancy boxes strewed around sug gestive of bon-bons of tbe nicest deecription, and the great canes of striped caudy suspend ed overhead in friendly companionship with immense horns of plenty, and then, turning to the beaming faces of the hundreds of children standing outside, many of them in ragged at tire, with arms out at elbows, being so forcibly impressed with the picture that he would weave it into one of his charming stories in such a way that mankind would weep and smile at the same time over the giaphic pen sketch of the author of the Christmas Carol. And one reason of Perkins’ great success is that bis candies are all pure, made of the best material. Sweetsee Merrill, No. 169 Middle street, offer a very large assortment of fancy goods for the holidays and a call in to their OlUic nuifi'1 uc «u v iouuiv. A. G. Corliss, 3155.Congress street, offers a very beautiful stock of jewelry tp the public. What better or more appropriate present to a frieod than a good time-keeper, constantly re minding bim each hour of the day and minute of the hour of your timely gift? Corliss has constantly on hand fine gold jewelry, vest and neck chains, first-class plated ware, gold-bowed spectacles and eye glasses, plated forks, tea sets, ice pitchers, castors, cake baskets, vases, and a very good variety of toys for children. Hawes Cragin, No. 77 Middle street, are new people in our city but they have had long experience in the music business in Boston. Portland is always ready to encourage those who strive to keep up to the timet, and Hawes Cragin are provided with the various musi cal instruments, musical literature in every department, and one of their Burdett organs would make a gift that would draw smiles from a marble St. Cecilia. In the same store will be found Edward C. Swett more generally known as Sir Edward Ardeut. While Sir Edward from his agree able disposition is a great favorite with the gentlemeu bis late success in amateur theat ricals has made him the cynosure of the ladies and when a man gets the ladies' favor then be is bound to succeed. He lias gold stem-wind ing watches, ladies’ and gents’ opera gold chains, fine Roman jewelry, seal rings, Mason ic pins and emblems, opera glasses, lockets set with precious stones, sleeve buttons and studs, silver tea services, cake baskets, castors, hand kerchief holders, ladies' glove fasteners, gold bowed specatclos and other things too numer ous to mention. J. F. Land Co, corner of Federal and Ex change Sts., are among our most extensive and popular dealers in crockery ware. Kero sene goods are not at ail inappropriate gifts, though at first thought they might seem so; but when one sees such graceful stand lamps to which the Brilliant burner is fitted, with porcelain shades that give the soften and most subdued light, when one looks cheerfully at the cheerful students' lamps, then one thinks that there might he more inappropriate gilts thau these same useful articles, which no house could do without; and, as a conse quence, with a view to a comroon,seosible gift, a visit is paid to Land’s store where so many of those desirable articles in their prettiest forms are always lound. Here also may be procured as handsome vases in rare patierns, beautiful dluuer aud tea-sets, toy tea sets, etc., as can be found in this pity. The oldest fruit dealer in the city is Wil liam Allen, No. 11 Exchange street, and his store presents a sight that makes the mouth water merely to look at. Golden orauges, drums of figs, great boxes, bags and barrels of nuts of every kind, cans of delicious preserves, and candies of gll kinds in endless prolusion. The manner in which Allens’ cart is kept a moving the lew days before Ehfistfpas would lead oue to suppose rhai, Portlanders were a race ol gourmands or a community of children. Allen manufactures his own candies, using over g barret of sugar a day and his mixed can dies are afleloptytiyu to the palate.

In the heavy articles they have full suns of leaijy-madp plpthing, reefing jack ets and comfortable oyerrooats, C. H. Farlev, No. 4 Exchange SJt., offers a very fine assortment of'watcbes and opera glasses. Mr. Farley has made these two branches o( the business a speciality and we i ■■■■w——mmmmmmi would advise all who desire a'larga selection tc choose from, to visit his store before purchas ing. A Christmas present of a pair of first class lad'es’ boots, made to order and to fit, by Messrs. E. T. Mebbill Co., 157 Middle St., would doubtless be most acceptable to many ol our fair readers. It has also been stated that a young man in Portland found himself the pos sessor, on Christmas morning, of eighteen new pairs ol slippers, presents from fair friends, which proves that slippers are considered the thing for holiday presents. Messrs. E. T. Meb bil Co. are now offering at their well known fine boot and shoe store, a rare and admirable assortment of elegant slippers, together with a first-class stock of fashionable boots and shoes of the best and most reliable quality. The as sortment ol slippers is one ol the finest and most attractive ever seen in our city, and the variety of beautiful styles is unusually large. They are exceedingly well suited in many ca-es for presents, and are having a fast sale. II. Wentwobth. 337 Congress street, corner of Oak, offers a full and complete assortment of all the staudard authors, writiug desks, portmoua'es, pocket books, juvenile books, fancy goods, etc. This store is well up-town aud a call from our up town, os well as our down-town residents, will resu't wo are sure in a purchase. Geo Hudson’s f337 Congress street) admira bly well couducted confectionery store, is now stocked with even more than its usual abun dance of rare, beautiful and good things, aDd its aspect for the holidays is exceedingly invit ing. The show windows, most luxuriously and tastefully set out, present a very strong temptation to enter, and when you do enter you find the profuse and elegant display of contect'ons, cakes and innumerable other de licious things quite irresistable. Tarriff Keform. A meeting of some of the prominent sitizens of our city was held at Reception Hall, City building, last evening, to hear an address from Sen. R. Brinkerhoff, of Ohio, upon the subject of Tariff Reform. The meeting was called to order by Hen. G. F. Talbot, who nominated his Honor, Mayor Kingsbury to preside. On assuming the chair the Mayor remarked as follows: I thank you, fellow citizens, most sincerely, for the honor you have conferred upon me, by inviting me to preside over this meeting. This is in no sense a political or partisan gathering. The invitation to the distinguished gentleman who is to address us was signed by many well kuown citizens of both the great parties of the country, and we have assembled as citizens simply, to deliberate upon questione which bear upon the common interests of all classes. The decade which closes with the present year has been crowded with issues of the high est moment to the welfare of the natioo. Our terrible civil war, after four years of bloody contest, has been closed with the restoration of the Union. Slavery, the curse of the nation, and the prime cause of its dissensions, is forev er disposed of. The right of suffrage is extend ed to all classes, without distinction of race or color. By the necessities of the times we have been shut up to these great and vital issues. But the hour has come when the people, relieved to a great extent from these questions, can take a new departure, and consider other matters of vital importance to their prosperity and bappi ness. They cannot live always upon the past, “Leaving the things that are behind, let us press forward” to the new ideas, the new du ties that lie before us. The Mayor then introduced to the audience Gen. Brinkerhoff. Gen. Brinkerhoff commenced his address by inAiikir.fr nf FREE TRADE—WHAT IT MEANS. Tbe speaker defined free trade not to be tbe abolition of taxation—neither did it mean di rect taxation upon property according to value. No people were more anxious than the free traders that the credit of tbe government should be maintained, and all necessary revenue col lected. So long as governments exist, and so long as our Constitution remains as at present, tbe only practicable way of collecting our na tional taxes must be by tariff's and excise laws. Free trade, therefore, means nothing more than such a revision of the tariff aud internal ‘evenue laws as to give to tbe Government tbe -evenue it requires, and at the same time be the least burdensome to the people. The tariff in any shape was a burthen, and lot a blessing, and therefore it should be made ts light as possible. In order to do this, it must jo confined to its sole object—taxation. To test t tariff, all we have to do whenever we pay a tax under it, is to inquire, does the Govern ment get it? Does it get it. all? If it does not, f it sticks to somebody’s fingers, or goes into the coffers of some great monopoly, you may -est assured that there is something wroug. THE TARIFF TESTED. Gen. B. then tested the tariff, by the rule aid down, and spoke of the duties on coal,iron eather, salt, woolen goods, and lumber, alleg ng that the government gets but a small reve nue from tbe tariff on those articles, while the -ich owners and monopolists were pocketing he largest amount of the proceeds. He was rery severe upon the Ouondago Salt Compa ny He contended that the effect ot a reduction if tbe tariff upon home manufactures, would >e more to their advantage than to their inju ry, and quoted from letters from manufactur es to show that such would be the case. OFR SHIPPING INTERESTS. Ten years ago we stood at the'head of the nercantile marine of the world, and now we ilready rank only as a fonrth rate power. Ho ler this tariff we have gone down steadily at he average rate of 500,000 tons per annum, and ;o-day two-thirds of tbe freights of our own :ommerce are paid to foreign shipowners, and t costs twice as much to build a ship in New fork as it does upon the Clyde. The piotec ionists claim the Alabama as tbe cause sf all his, but the fact is the Alabama went to the lottom six years ago, and yet since that time me shipping has declined more rapidly than before. _ Ten years ago, and the shipyards of New York done employed 20,000 mechanics, an l 2,000 ap prentices. To-day they employ less thau 1.000 altogether. To-day, ef tbe 125 great steamers which ferry tbe Atlantic and return a profit to heir owners of $12 000,000 a year, not one car r es the American flag. Tbe cause of all this a summed up in one word of a sh’pbuilder’s testimony before the Ways and Means Com mittee, viz: -‘Tariff.” Ten years ago, or in 1861, tbe gross value ol shipping engaged in foreign commerce amount id to $108,000,000, and tbe gross earnings to $36,000,000. Tbe amount of American tonnage snlering our ports exceeded the foreign ton nage 3,567,374 tons. In 1°63 tbe excess of Am srican tonnage had fallen to 1,974,320 Ions. Id 1869 positions were changed, and tbe excess of loreign tonnage over domestic tonnage was 1,915,026 tons. And ‘his change was not caused by the destruction of cur ships by the Alaba ma, for the decrease of American tonnage was greater after that vessel had been sunk tqan it was before. In 1860 the value of imports and exports car ried in American vessels, was double that in foreign vessels, viz: $517,000,000, against $255, 000,000. In 1869 our position in tbis respect was reversed, viz: tbe imports and exports in foreign vessels was $586,000,000 against $289, 000,000 in American vessels. President Grant, in a special message to Con gress, last winter, admitted all these facts, and recommended, as a measure of relief, the pay ment of bounties to shipbuilders, equal to the duties paid upon materials used in bnildim? a ship. Ibis remedy, however, was worse than the disease, and was tho.efore opposed and de feated by the Free Traders. President Grant then took another and wiser coarse, and recommended (at the opening of the war between France and Prussia) that iron steamers purchased abroad should be admitted to registration here. This would give us the command of the com merce of the seas, but the Protectionists in Congress talked against time and defeated it, and the result is that ocean freights have been doubled, and we have lost in a great degree, all the advantages the war would have given us for the sale of the surplus products ol a fruit ful year. In doing this, the Protectionists have gain ed nothing for themselves, for we cannot use their materials in building ships; hut true to their selfish instincts, they play ‘-dog in the manger,” and England laughs at our calamity, as she pours into her coffers a golden stream from the freights of our own American com merce. So in every way we look—except in the case of certain bloated monoplies, like pig iron, salt, coal, steel and the like—we find the tariff an unmitigated evil to all our home manufac tures. OUB EXPORTS. Our exports thow this most vividly^ Iu fact, we have almost lost the world’s markets and are fast shutting ourselves up, in a Chinese seclusion, from all other nations. What can be better proof or more melan choly reading for our American manufactur ers, than the official report of our exports of last year, compared with the exports of 1860— ten years ago? The speaker here read statemeots of the ex port of certain articles in 1860 and I860, show-* iog au immense falling off aud asked, if under these circumstances, is it wise to sacrifice all these great industries, even if it was necessary in order to keep alive a few monopolies like pig iron, coal, sail, and Bessemer steel. FBEE TRADE TARIFF. But, says the protectiontst, how are we to raise revenue for the government? Simply by levying it upon such articles as we do not raise at home. Then every dollar goes to the Treasury and nolhiug to the monoptirs. The British bsve lust such a tariff, and they raise $110,000,000 off of less than tweuty arti cles. Nioety-tbree and a half per cent, of their entire customs revenue comes from six classified articles, viz:—Tea, coffee, tobacco and 8nuff, sugar, spirits and wine, More than one-half of our customs revenue last year came from ten articles of this class and three fourths of (he revenue comes from thir teen articles. Mr. Wells’s report of last year contains a tariff schedule which gives us a rev enue of $150,000,000, all the government asks for, and yet it would relieve the people iu the way of bounties of at least $300,000. The General closed with an appeal for the equal rights of all, aud claimed that it is only by freedom and equality among all tbp States that we can preserve the Union and our na tionality. M. L. A. Anniversary.—There is some mis understanding as to the time when the cele bration of the 19th anniversary of the Mercan tile Library Association will take place. It was originally intended to have it on Wednes day, the 28th. Butin consequence ot that be ing opera night, which many members wish to attend, it was postponed to Friday, the 30th instant, when it will take place at City Hall. We see by tbp programme that quite a number of danpes hare been placed qpon it, to suit the older portion of the community. The limited number of tickets is almost disposed of. We learn that Collector Washburn received a telegram yesterday from Hon. John Lynch laying that the revenue steamer McCulloch the best in the service, has been ordered tc Portland. Also that the regulations by which Canada goods in transit for exportation were to be epteretj at Island Pond, has been revok ed, and the oil) syateiq of entering such goodi at Portland has been restored. 1 For the Portland Press. An impression is being somewhat prevalent that the Managers of onr Female Orphan Asylum bad incuired a considerable debt in the purchase and extension of their domicile, the writer, in order to ascertain if it were so, called on the Treasure!, and found, as be bad supposed, that the sums subscribed bad been ample for the purchase of the estate and pay ment of all the bills for extension and repairs. As the recent annual report gave the names of only a few ol the donors, he solicited and ob tained the names of all those who have joined in furnishing the means for this much needed change—needed alike for the health of the or phans and enlarged usefulness of the Institu tion; and he appends tbeso names, not be cause he thinks that any individual desires to be thus made known, but in order that other citizens may Isdow, and thank in their hearts, those who h .ve enabled the Manageis to make this long desired improvement.

Pofelry. Airlnl! [From the Evening Post.] I was dining at Delmonico’a a week or two ng®. With a charming little maiden and her dapper little And I tried,by close 'attention, aa I trifled with my fork, _ A_ lo arrive at a solution of tho meaning of tbelr talk. It was all about a party, which, they aald, was “aw ful lol'y.” Where their “awful pretty” hostess had an “awful handson e Doll? And an “awful canning necklace,” which her “aw ful good papa” Had procured tor her at Tiflany's, while shopping with mamma. Yet 'tweuld seem there was a drawback to the pleas ure o* the fete— For the “awfnl stylish” Reginald arrived se “awfu! late” And the “awfnl swell” arrangement of bis “awful nice” cravat, And.his “awiul lovely” waistcoat didn’t compensate for that. Then he flirted—“Oh! ’twas awfulwith that “aw lul li'tle minx.” Who was dancing, after supper, to the strains of “Captain Jinks;” And he paid such “awful compliments”—'twas real ly quite absurd— Just the “awtullcst of ncnsenso that a creature ever beard.” I listened—quite bewildered by the babble of the pair, Who were sitting at the table with a very quiet air; And I thought, “My little darlings, if your soup were half as hot, Or as potent as your language, it would kill you on the epos! “Now, if such a tbing should happen—though you'd make an awful end. 'Twould be fitting retribution far your usage of a friend— A grave and solemn Adjective-true Saxon to the core. Who should meet with proper treatment—not be lorced to prove a bore. “I confess it sorely puzzles me to think what yon would say. If a something really awful were to happeu in your way; For I’m sure with simp'e Euglieh you would never bFcontent, But your thoughts in foreign expletives, would h*ve t) find a vent,” While musing in this fashion, (tooling rather cross auu old I forgot about my dinner, which waa getting “awiul cold And the adjeeive kept dropping from the lips ol either child, Till with awful, awful, awful, I was lairly driven wild. gmamro Bat, Dec. 8, lt:0. —P.
