The Heaviest Argument.

The excitemen, caused by the Presidential
contest in 1910, is well remembered. Both
Wings and Democrats strained every nerve TO
elec, their candidates; and some of the argu
men,s al that time made use of TO sway the
minds of voters were of the most substantial
kind. In the town of -, in this stale, was
one of those straight-faced fellows. ever ready
for Joke, but whose principles lie at the bot
tom OF his pooket--in heart Wing, but inva-
riably voted democratic ticket, which ne found
nailed upon the head of barrel of -four 0cci-
dentaHy placed upon his from, sioop the night
previous to election. Contrary to all usage aud
the expectations of his friends, Joe S, on
the 6rs,day of election, walked up TO the polls
and deliberately deposited his ballot Tor Gen.
Harrison. Here was something unheard OF,
and erea, was the CONSERVATION thereat in the

Kicking a Yankee.

Under this caption we sometimes since gave
a story. illustrating the impossbi,y of kicking
a Yankee. The veteran Noah says That lber
is no case on record of Yankee having been
kicked, nor, until The history Of the las, year of
the worlds duration is written, will such feat
be recorded
We remember (says The Veteran a sh,rp
fellow named Doolitile, Connecticut "exoIic."
who was trans planted from Harvard University
to one of the Southern States, for the purpose
of assuming the editorial control Of violent
party paper, where no one had ever labored
with advantage for the party, simply because an
infinite quantity of pistols. and multiplicity of
bowie knives, prevented the strenuous advocacy
of certain principles and feuered the freedom of
speech in an elegant style of efficiency. Doo-
n,le was highly educated-was impe,uous--
brave; vel, with the characteristic cunning of
his tribe, careful of his own interests. He took
hold Of The paper with the determination TO
make it serYIceable "to the cause" and SER
viceable he did make it. The opposing candi-
lover of poker" and decided votary of We
nus Doolirte did what no other editor dared
to do-he said So The day on which his
,icle appeared, the candidate entered the ediio-
rial chamber.

"You have libelled and insulted me, and
drawing large knife" | have come for your
ears"

stranger to your customs. and perhaps have
! taken course which in this part Of the coun-
try is inexcusable. Such is, | think the fact.
Suppose we compromise the matter"
"Very WELL" said the bluff Southerner; III

you'll wha. 7" said DoolitIe, quietly.
"Klck you."
"You insist upon that little privilege :"
81 am unalterably fixed in my determination"
So AM l." said Dooliule, firing a horse pls-
,ol as big as a bunderbuss, and shaitering the
Southerners right leg-"nOt to be kicked"
He held his situation six months---was stab
bed twice, shot three times. belabored with
bludgeon once, thrown into pond once, but
never kicked During his six months expert

Winter and Age.

BY MRS. LYDIA H. sIGoURNEY.
GREY Winter lovelh silence. He is old,
and kelh no, the sporting OF the lambs,
Nor The shrll song OF birds. 1t irkelh him
TO hear the forest melodies; though still
He giverh license 10 the ruffan winds,
That, with black foreheads and distended cheeks.
Muller koarse Ihunders on their wreiched path.
He lays his finger on the lip Of streams,
And they are ice, and stays the merry foot
OF The sligh, runle,, as i, leapeih down,
Terrace by terrace. from The mountains head.
He siienceih the purling Of the brook,
Tha, told his tale in gentle Summers ear,
All the day long reproachless, and doth bid
Sharp fross chasfise and chain IT,, ill il shrink
Abash'd away. aa.s -
He sits with wrinkled face,
Like some old grandsire, i'll at ease, who shuts
The noisy irooping of the children out,
Ind, drawing nearer to the pleasant fire,
Doth settle on his head the velvet cap,
and bless his STARS for quiet, once again.
Slern Winter drives The truant fountain back
TO the dark caverns of the imprison:ng earth,
And dead meth, with his drified SHOWS, the sound
OI wheel and ioot-iramp.
Thus il is, with man,
When The chill winter of his life draws on.
The ear doth loalhe The sounds that erst i, loved
Oh, like some moody hermir, bar the door,
Though sweetest tones solicit it in vain.
The eye grows weary Of the laulished scenes
And old ,wind-shsken tapestries of time,
While all The languiG senses antedate
The Sabbath of the tomb.
The echoing round
Or giddy pleasures, where his heart in youth
Dspored eagerly--lhe rushing tread
0lihe great, gorgeous world are naught to him
Who, as he journeye,h.to cline unknown,
Would to the skirts of holy silence cling.
And lei all sounds and symphonies of earth
Fall like faded yestment, from the soul.

NEW YORK ELECTION.

An election was held in this State on the
10Th ofMay, to decide whether the town and
city authorities will shut down the flood
gates of intemperance, which has for years
rolled its dark surges of misery and death
| with irresistible force over our fair country,
by Withholding licences to trafickers in that
deadly poison, the "drunkard's drink,"-or
whether by continuing to license grog shops
and rum holes, another wave be added 10 the
dark food which has already swallowed its
thousands of hapIess victims, and blasted
the fond hopes and fair fame of many Of our
most promising statesmen and philosophers,
and desolated the iresides Of innumerable
otherwise happy homes.
The returns, so far as received, show a
decided victory in favor of mo License"
The cities of Albany, Brooklyn, Troy, Utica,
and Rochester, have all gone against licens-
ing. But two or three towns heard from,
voted to license, and it is reported that but
one town this side Of Syracuse has gone for
license: Whitehall gave lis majority for
mo license,'-so says the Democrat. t.

the castle OF St. Juan de UIloa, saws -
The French government is, whatever NAV
be otherwise said, too friendly towards the
United States, and entertains too much
sympathy for her, not 10 maturely reflect
before taking any step which might have
the sembIance of hostility. We do not
mean to say, that France would be dis
posed to sacrifice her rights and interests
to American ambition, should this ambi.
lion become unreasonable +; but, happily,
the question Is far from assuming this
form, and we are convinced that the A.

ed 10 The prejudice eff France, in her war
with Mexico in 1888. The French press
will not be found taking sides with the
Mexlcans, as did the American press in
1888, nor will the French be seen forciog
the blockade legally and regularly pros
claimed By The Uniled States.
AS 10 the reports from Vera Cruz that
the artillery OF the fort OF ST. Juan d'IJlloa
is placed in charge of French and Eng.
lish officers, we will say thus much in res
gard to the former
That there are Frenchmen in the For.
of St. Juan d'UlIoa and in the ranks Of
the Mexican army, is possible. for every
where are 10 be found Frenchmen in
quest of employment, but we are con-
WINGED that the number Of such is ex.
tremely limited (; infinitely less so than
those Of their countrymen who will be-
found in the America ranks. There is
no people, in fact, that our c%ounlrymen
have less TO be satisfied with than the
Mexicans ; but the latter entertain such a
hatred for all foreigners, that not much
love can be expected in return, and, more
than all other nations, the French have
been the butts of its prosecutions and bull
lying braggadocia. Those Of our coun>
trymen that serve such an ally, do it not
from TASTE but from necessity, you may
rest assured. They would as willingly
serve the Schah OF Persia or Emperor Of

err made A chopping axes in nine hours. II
will be understood that the polls are turned
and the steel fitted, before the labor spoken
of is commenced. One set Of hands, on a
trial for a large days work, made 81 axes in
about 10 hours. These were not very
smoothly forged. Country blacksmiths who
have considered it a smart days work TO
make six axes, will rather stare at The FORE
going statements; but those who doubt may
look for themselves. la order to realize the
improvements OF the day, one must take a
peep into establishments doing business on
the most improved plan and they will aoon-
der awhile, but will not dare to doubt.
Troy is a good location for business, it
being at the head ofthe navigable waters
of the Hudson, and surrounded with an
abundance of water power; and the juno
ton of the Erie and Northern Canals be.
ing formed nearer Troy than Albany, al
ready renders Troy a powerful rival of
the other city; and no valid reason exists
why the former will not eventually out
strip The latter in population and business.

The Bunker Hill Aurora an1unciation
of a special vote to LAY out the Cheshire
road 10 Charlestown," is generally copied
as evidence OF a determination to carry our
road to the extent of the charter; or al
least to Cheshire Bridge. II has been the
desire and objec, of the Cheshire Direct
ors, a majority, at least, so TO do, under the
impression that it was the mos! profitable
portion of our road, from its easy con-
struclion, aud doubtless, now desirable,
means and other considerations favoring it.
But it evidently is now much less lmpor>
tant since the connection of the Cheshire
and Wiachendon co.porations-now the
Cheshire alone extending TO Ashburn-
ham, and in view of the proposed inde>
pendent charter from Windsor down
10 our road, wherever that ends by our
action or that of the Commissioners. The
vote was simply a resolution TO call on
the Commissioners to finish their work
now that the surveys had been completed.

These proceedings will appear in the

give their decision as to where it shall
terminate, in about two weeks. In the
