UPS AND DOWNS.

Mr.. EDIToR-I am an up and dOzSn
fellow, as you do know, full of life, and
up to any thing. night. thinking of
the misfortune of Ioosing a good horse,
began to reckon up and set dozen the
gicissitudes Of life. Up and doun mean
10 many cases the same thing, and fire.
quently when you see man up, be is in
fact dovn. For instance, neighhar A.
tells me he is up and about little, but
quite dovr with cold. A man barrels
app and salts dozen his beef or pork-he
eats up a thing and it goes doom let
dovn my bars and put up my caltle--a
man trips another up or he trips him
doom, and so we go up and down contin-
uaiiy. have seen many young lady
that was called up to the notch, set doom
for Ounce, and rightly, and manv an
one who was up till eleven in the eve
Mig. and do1cn till ten 10 the morning
FOR fashions sake. There are too many
J"usrg fellows who, with naughty airs,
are knocking dom all opposiioo, " so
as to be called up to the life" Doom with
your dust, says one, and heads up, that's
your sorts; while another class sit up
ard keep housed up TO read aud obtain
knowledge, so that they may at last sell
tie do1Un upon some foundation. When
see a lady show the modesiy of her
sex. aud not as she walks the streets
hrt and swing with her head up, set
her dozen for something-but when
See one up to all kind of " monkey
Shines" as the saying is. creating good
deal of surf as she passes, can't help
saying TO myself" do1Un with her house."
Lately have read many accounts of
failures in our cities. If the merchants
are breaking dovn so, | am thinking he
business is about breaking up. 10 fact,
such is the world and human nature,
that we can't tell VINO is up or doom. A
man will appear TO be well up on the
ladder of fortune, when The fact is, he is
Just beginning t. tumble down-a pre-
tended friend may stand at your shoulder
so boost you up as you think, when he is
only there pull You dOvm and one
will praise you up where he thinks you
will hear of it, and run you doom where
he thinks his interest is a little served
by il; and if you trade with some, they
will, lawyer like, "sluF you up that
they are giving you a. bargain, and il
possible shave you dozen to the last cop
per.
And now, Mr.. Printer, as you have set
yourself up as kind of monitor over
the public TO put dOwn every thing of an
Unjust nature, and TO zvotch the morals
OF society, j shall give up the rest of
this to you. l want to see good men held
up and bad men put dozun-l want to see
honesty up and viIlany down- and you
must be right up and dozen in these
things. Every man should look we'll to
one. am coming dozen in few DAYS
to pay you up for your paper, and meau
to have il sent up TO me until run
doom. Lastly. peace be to all, and as
the $ mortal toe" death, will soon tnrn
us all upside doom. may every one have
something iall up when he is laid dozen ;
at least have an assurance, that though
bis body goes dozen, his soul goes up.

and cesid do it with on one else; being
shown into the room of the sick man,
after sitting some time, the following
conversation took place.
You have some business to do with
me alone, understand.
Sir, | have wronged you, and am
come to make restitution.
am moi aware that you have wrong
ed me.
Two years ago sold you load OF
hay, on which were several bushels OF
oats when it was weighed; the oats
were taken off, and you paid me for the
weight of them with the hay: It was
no ACCIDENT, but was done for my own
gain.
Aud have you been gamer by the
transaction?
No, have been a great loser by it.
You perhaps have not always slept
well in consequence of it.
No, certainly have not.
But the injury TO me is very small.
The injury to you may he small, but
to me it is great indeed. have cone
to give you what is your own, and to
ask your pardon.
! readily grant you my pardon, but
there is another Power to which we
should look for the forgiveness of sins.
| am aware of that, said be, and with
tears in his eyes he left the house.
If any one who reads the above, has
wronged his neighbor, the course pur-
sued in this case is offered as an exam
pie for imitation; and we would say to
him-Go thou and do likewise.
When the late DR.. Allen located him
self in Saco, in 1875, he owned bay
mare six years old. 10 April, 1897,
accompanied him from Scarborough to
New-Gloucester. The mare had long
body. black name, and switch tail of
the same colour. She was natural
trotter, of low carriage, good limbs. and
safe traveller. About the year 1900,
Dr. A. disposed of this mare TO a Mr..
Warner, New-GIoucesfer, in exchange
for white stud. hr w. sold the mare
to Peleg Chandler, Esq. of New-Glou-
cesier, who owned her until she was
twenty-four years old, when he sold her
TO John Loring, Esq. of BuckfeId. A.
bout two years after, jockey from the
vicinity of Boston appeared at New
Gloucester, in pursuit of speedy trot-
ting horse. The old swingletail (soI
called) was recommended. The jockey
proceeded to Buckfeld, and purchased
her for the sum of $3.50 (she being
twenty-six years old) and proceeded TO
Boston +; and after granting her suAi-
Gent time, offered her as match to
any on the turf She won purse of
$500, aud succeeded as a trotter against
all others. From Boston she was ia
ken to Newly ork, where she remained
unrivalied, until she was sold for Sll0O'
to an English gentleman, who exported
her to Liverpool in England Pat.
