i''habitsn,s Of the two regions. Tie Southern
man does his dury to his country-dcfends his
wife, his children aud his libery-pours forth
his blood like water-and is satisfied with such
reward MS his conscience and his God may be-
stow. Itd6es not occur to him that he IL entitled
to apension for doing that which he would have
beenn coward and a traitor not to have donc.-
But the Yankee comes forward with "A pair of
scales in his hands, weighs every drop he has
lost, and calculates how much money it comes to.
We have no doubt but that ovcrv particle of
Northern blood shed in the war OF the Revolu-
ton, has hecn paid for by more than its weight
i'll gold.
Again; the fur greater proportion of Northern
than of Southern persons on the revolutionary
pension list, may be accounted for ny another
difference of chnracter between the two people.
In South Carolina, when a man { even if he
served under Greene or Morgan)reaches tho age
ofM or 100 years. or whereabouts, lie dies. and
there's an end Of him. But the New England
pensioners never die. We have 10 doubt but
there will be revolutionary patriots receiving pen.

met with ono Displaying more hardiIrood
than the following, which though il han
pencd many years ago, and was related to
us by all eye witness, we have never seen
IN print. Mr.. Spring had n farm on an
Island in Saco River, from which he built
a bridge to the main land. where il would
cncroach OH the land of hi, neighbour, MIR.
Donncft. The channel was not very broad
and a few rods below were some consider
able falls. Spring built abutmcnts, and
laid the string pieces but bennett came in
the night and tore them down. Spring
naturally cnraged, threatened that if he did
1t again, he should answer for it to him
personally. Cnawed by his threat, no soon
er were the beams again laid OF aJutmcnts
that he destroyed so much of the works "a
to lcnve but one string piece remaining,
and thai a beam eight inches square over
tic river, where n fall would be rs certain
as death, as from tho Goat Island bridge
above niagara. According to his previous
threats, Spring challenged bennett, to NOR
