Or1G1NAL. The following sketch rather
accidentally came into our possession the 9TH
cr day, accompanied by an expressed wish
from the individual in whose hands it was
found, that the figures and suggestions OF the
writer might appear in print. Although not
fully comprehending the force and approprl-
atcncss of oil the comparisons drawn, yet we
think it on the whole an article of interest,
and tending to exert good influence among
youthful readers. We therefore copy it, and
leave it with the reader as it was left with US,
to guess the name Of the author. All will adj
nit the novelty of the composition, and ar

A friend has told us o process for destroying
the flies, which are so great a pest to every
household in the summer time. Fasten
bunch Of green twigs-asparagus is the best
to the ceiling of the room over head all the
flies in the apartment will retire there to roost
at night; when you may take sack, and
place the mouth quietly around said roost and
enclose the whole swarm. The prisoners may
all be eilectually despatched at once by cram
ming the sack into akettle ofhot water. Two
or three nights practice of this plan will clear
the premises United action among the house
holders of town would no doubt complete the
destruction of this plague-"in union there is
strength" you know But you cant come it
over bedbHgs and heos so readily. They are
not greearious like the flies; moreover they
put off their deprodations until the darkness
of night will hide their bloody deeds, and then
carry on their cowardly warfare in guerilla
parties. But we heard an obseryant citizen
remark, the other day, that flea bite was
matter of no consequcnce-it was the wy

the Streets and in the purlieus of the dram
shop, studying the vocabulary Of the profit
gate and the basphemer, training themselves
for scenes of riot and plumber, thus qualify
ing themselves for the prison and the poor
house To those whose lot is cast in the
peaceful quiet Of the country towns, these en-
quiries may seem the offspring Of diseased
Imagination but to those who have been an
eye witness of the progress of vice and crime
in our cities and seaport villages, they are
full of fearful import" The Secretary IS
right.
We shall revert to these facts more than
once hereafter. We intend to ring them IN
the ears of the public until they heed the
alarm, and take measures to destroy the evil
that is fast overshadowing all the good that
our school system can do, and we call upon
our brethren OF the press TO unite with US IN
laundering around our sleepy community ,un-
til they are fully awake and prepared to act
promptly and cncrgetically in crushing this
monster ofindolence and apathy, that is coil
ing its folds around so many of the rising
generation, and preparing them for ignominIy
and irretrcvablc ruin. Up, brothers, to the
rescue! Bet not q hundred thousand Of the
children Of Maine be ruined, when the rene
dy required is only well directed action in
the use Of institutions already supplied to our
hands.
