American Industry in the S tate of Maine

is before them in little more than single

THEY CANNOT GET AWAY FROM

So long as the Wing Tariff was admins
teied by wings. full blood wool sold readils,
for from 35 to 40 cents pound, cash down.
and it was as much as the farmers could do
TO keep the wool agents from taking it by
forbe from their premises. Woo's of the
coarsest quality, down TO the very coarsest
raised in this country sold as readily from 25
10 a5 cts. These things are history.
Since Polk came into office every wool
producer knows and has felt the difference.
And from the very day Polk was elected the
price has deprecated. These things are his
tory too, and cannot be set aside by any Lo-
cofoco humbuggery.

KISSING.

The following curious facts in natural his
tory afford matter for profitable reflection both
to the philosopher and the man of the world
The Boston girls hold still until they are
well kissed, when they flare up all at once,
and say, 4 think you ought 10 be ashamed
When young chap steals a kiss from an
Albany girl, she says, Il think its my turn
now and gives him box on the eai that he
don't forget in a week.
In Pennsylvania, when female is saluted
with buss, she puts on her bonnet and
shawl and answereth, Il am astonished at
thy assurance, Jedediah; for this inGienity

The ladies of New Berlin, however, are
SO fond of kissing. that when saluted on one

MY HOME IN CONNECTICUT.


Hon. of nv childhood cannot forget thee,
Though here | am happy, surrounded by
friends;
Deeply and warm in my heart have l set thee,
And hottest thought with thy momory blends.
Darling old homestead, quietly nesting
Under the tall trees that shelter thee Ger,
Where with the shadows sunlight is wrestling
nthe short greensward in front of thy doer.
Shaggy old house-dog-playmate Of childhood
Oft have we wandered together away
To where the low strawberry redeemed the wild
wood,
And loitereG beside the still water to play.
Gnarled old apple-tree, near 10 the window
Maples that rise to the blue of the sky
Mulberry, where the bright oriole buildelh,
Still do yetoss your strong branches on hign-
Sill crows the damask rose, in the old garden,
Flcur-de-lis mingles its blue and its white,
Currants and raspberries bend with their burden
Ncighborly standing with peonies bright
Where stretch the meadows, of snowicst clo-
yer,
The Pomperaug river is hurying by
With elm trees and willow dark shadowing over
The pool where the trout is accustomed to lie.
On those gray rocks, with dark hemlock trees
crested,
Many an hour have lain at my ease,
To watch the brisk squirrel chirP on unmolested,
And listen the soft, mournfu wall ofthe breeze
Lowly redschool-house close by the waySide,
Many year hath it stood where it stands;
Curly-haired girlhood, and stout ruddy boyhood.
Throng its worn threshold in mischievous
bands.
Church of curforefathers, silently pointing
Thy taperng spire to the infinite sky
There the dear pastor of Gods own amounting
Labored to teach us to live and 10 die.
Reverend bell, in the bclfry still swinging,
Many a time have we shrunk at thy tone,
For we knew when the sexton was soemnly
ringing
That one from among us forever was gone.
Graveyard of centuriesl head-stones all moss
grown
Side by side stand with the mound of to-day;
Cherished and lost ones sleep sound in hybosom
Needless of footsteps above them that stray.
Friends ofmy childhood while fond recollection
L;ngers around my old haunts with delight,
would never forget how your priceless affection
Hath gilded them all with glory more bright
And oh the dear faces around the old hearth
stone,
Wh.rc the wood-fre burneth warmly ant
clear
Father and mother and dark eyed young broth
That home were a desert, unless yewerc there.

RAILROAD.

The Directors of the Connecticut and
Passumpsic Rivers Rail Road met at Wells
River last Tuesday, when they proceeded
north TO examine the route, and designed to
be at Sherbrooke on Friday.
AT their meeting at Wells River, a resolu-
ton was passed, we understand, directing a
committee Of the Board TO make contracts
forthwith for building a certain portion of
the road, intending TO have it completed as
soon as the Lebanon road shall be put in op-
Grafton to the Connecticut.
The Board are firm, and determined to go
straight forward and complete the enter
prise as soon as it can possibly be done.
That it may be retarded by the radical meas
ures of Government, like other enterprises,
they as well as other men, are not without
feaIs.

AOAA hhS -NOa'N
Never has statesman fallsn more sudden
Iy and irredeemably from his high state than
Mr.. Vice President Dallas. The sentiment
excited by his treachery is profound. intense
and universal. In this community it is
shared almost equally by all parties. Sc
verely as have been the structures of the press
upon his CO nduct, they do not adequately
express the feeling Of the people. MIR. Dali
las is not condemned for disappearing the
people of Pennsyvania-for he is not a Sen
ator, but for misrepreseniing his own con-
science, for violating his pledges of honor,
for scattering ruin and dismay oyerhis native
State, not from a sense Of duty, but in ODE
dienee to the mandates of his kinsman, Sir
Robert Walker.
Those smiles will be his only consolation,
for the act that has stirred every Pennsyl
vanian heart with fiery indignation, has else
where excited only distrust and contempt.
Incredible, ungratefnl and iuhuman as was
his vote On tke bil,there is still less excuse in
his vote upon Johnson's motion TO recommit
"a motion In favor of modification in be-
half of Pennsylvania interests. Bythat vote,
he approved himself in every thing, and to
the uttermost, the bond slave OF the South !;
and dashed from the lips of the State the
drop of hope and comfortitendered her. This
treason was a wanton and unnecessary one
unexpected even to his new allies. His
written speech regrets that he had no oppor-
tunity to vote for such motion; yet the
echo of his vote against it had even scarcely
died away in the hall

Nor man nor fiend hass fallen so far"
