A Child Lost in the Hoods.-A daughter of Mr..
David w Boobar of Linneus, in Aroostook county,
the morning ofthe 4th inst sent by her mother
10 negbbors house half mile distant, to borrow a
little flour for break fast The girl is only nine years
of age and in going through the woods lost her way
The next morning about 40 Of the ncighbors collected
and in pursuit but returned without any tidings
of the child The next day the company was in
creased to sixty persons and searched the woods all
day. with no better SUCCESSION the following day,
between and three hundred of the settlers assem-
bled early in the morning. their hearts swelling with
sympathy and all eager to restore the little wanderer
TO the arms of its desparng parents.
The company set out for thorough and a last
search The child had been in the woods three days
and three nights and many hearts sunk in despon
dency at the utter hopelessness of finding il alive But
to learn It's fate restore IT, was the lndomiiahc pur
pose of each Half the day had been expended in en-
tering the forest 1t time to think of returning
but who could think of doing while an innocent
child might he wandering but few rods in advance 2
On the company pushed, still deeper in the dense
wilds. The sun had reached the meridian and was
dipping down towards the West. Ii seemed vain to
look farther and slowly and heavy those stout hearted
men brushed tear from their cheeks gave up all as
lost and their hearts seemed to dictate within them
commence their return.
The line was stretched to include survey of the
greatest possible ground, not bush tree where it
possible for child to be concealed within the
limits of the line passed without diigent search
Those at the exremlties Of the line tasked themselves
to the utmost in examining the woods beyond the
lines. They had travelled for time, when al the
arthest point of vision the on flank thought
he saw bush bend. He with swelling heart
He hesltaied. Was it his Imagination He gazed a
moment. The bush bent again and the head Of the
little wandeIer was seen. He rushed forward, and
found the little girl seated on log and breaking the
twigs she had pucked from the bush which so provi-
dentiay led to her discovery. She did appear to
be frightened; and said she had lain in the woods
three nights, had heard any wild beasts
and that she thought she should get to Mr.. Howards
for the flour before night At first she did not appear
hungry or weak, but after eating pece of bread her
cries for more were very pieous. She was found a
bout three miles from where she entered the woods
Her clothing was very thin, and the large shawl she
had on when she left home she had carefully folded
and placed IN the pillow case, not even putting over
her during the night she innocenty said ITO keep

SALLY CARTER.
[Sister TO LJtenanf Carriers only Son.l

[Sister 10 Leftenant Carriers only Son
Near Springfield Mounting there did dwell,
A lovely damsel, known full WELL
Leftenant Carriers only gal,
Her fathers joy-and named Sail.
One day this damsel tript it quick,
Down 10 a stream, to berries pick.
She hadn't pick'd bat two or three,
When her foot slipt, and in went she.
And when into the stream she fell,
She uttered hoIrid yell.
And then sunk down beneath the wave,
Because no hand was there o save.
Her yer saw the aw-f full sight,
And to her ran with all his might;
But when from out the stream he took her.
All sign of life had quite forsook her.
He rolrd and rol'd her all about,
And quickly brought the water out.
But when he found her soul had fled
He wIung his hands and cri-ied.
And then her liieless form he bore
Unto her anxious mothers door.
Saying Mrs. Garter here you see,
All that is left oil Sal allie
The awful news shot thro' her brain,
And down she fell, nor spoke again
The lover he some pizen took,
And upward gave an earnest look.
And told his ghost to follow after,
His own dear Sail, and Mrs. Carter.

A Strange Place 10 Die.-The Vicksburg
Wing ofthe 29th ut. says that man was found
on the day previous on the roof Of a three story
store. having apparently been dead for some
weeks, as his body was horribly mutilated
by the birds that had been flying about him.
Who he was, whence he came, or how he got
there, no one could tell. He was unknown by
all about there, but had chosen that strange,
grand death-bed where, in mid air, far above the
dull earth, alone in the midst of that populous
city, with the blue skies for a canopy and the
stars for watchers, his spirit had passed 70 lis
long home.

THE FISCAL AGENT AND NEW YORK

agent by The way, two or three of the New York
papers are out against Mr. Ewing's scheme, and il is
evident that their hostility is Caused by the pr oposal
nave the central or parent institution at Washington.
New York has acted from the opinion that because
large portion OF The collected that port
large portion should be expended there rather
that her citizens should have special influence in its
disposal overlooking the fact that is the
who pay, and consequently the west, which has no
custom house, must have potent voice In the manage
ment of the revenue derived from the customs.
As he fiscal agent proposed by Mr.. Ewing will have

that New York must have large portion Of the adj

We have seen II stated In some eastern paper, that
Mr. Ewing was making 1t unconstitutional by giring

their limits when the very charenng of the AGENT

states 10 extend branches; but the plan without de-

puted right may not give offence, and that even bene
fit may not be thrust upon a commonwealth without

UNION COLLEGE, goth Jan, 1886.
Dear Sr.-Since did not find you in the
other day when | called, the interest feel in
your success as public man, will be my apology
Tor troubling you with few observations, the
observance of which may be of some use.
Donot speak often, and only on important &C
casions. When you do speak be brief, pertinent,
and stop when you have finished. Speak ra-
ther in the furtherance of your own objects than
in defeating those of oihers.-Endravor 10 allay
the prejudces which naturally exist between
the city and the country. BE courteous on all
occasions, especially in debate and TO your i'm
mediate antagonists. Never indulge in person
alties, never lose your temper nor make an enc
my if you can avoid it.-Conquests may be
made by Cancellation and persuasion as certain
ly as by ridlcule and sarcasm, but IN the one
case the chains are sllken and sill easy-in the
other, iron and gall the wcarer.
Though you point your arrows, never poison
them; and if the club of Hercules must be
raised let il be the naked club, not entwned with
serpents.
These are hints merely but a word 10 the
wise is sufficient. And with Legislators or others,
man needs to live one life to know how TO live
another, and since this cannot be done literally,
we can only do it in effect, by avaing ourselves
of the experience Of others.
Wishing you every success, | am, in haste,
very sincerely yours,

About Charleston, the followers OF this

man. HIS measures have ceased TO be the
theme Of his denunciation and ubhorrencc.
Those who see through the political teles-
cope Of Mr.. Calhoun, have suddenly be-
held matters reversed. Where was ouce
filth, corruption end profgacy, now stands
purity, honesty and economy. After ALL
hts followers have the face to tell the pub.

been blown about by the changing currents
of popular opinion, il has proved true to
the original source of lis motion.
