child has been sacrificed in carly youth to
the pride of parents, who, delighted with the
intellectual activity Of their children, have
striven 10 make then. prodigies Of learning.
But in these cases Of early and ,In'ue en-

has usually been the cause Of either fatal

The late Mr.. Deville related 10 me an inter-
esting case Of this kind.
An extremely interesting boy. Of about
twelve years ri age, was brought 10 him for
chronological examination by parent who
was very proud of the intellectual endow-
mens Of his child. MIR. Deville gave his
opinion of the boys character, at the same
| tipe cautioning the father of the dangerous
course be was pursuing. But the fathers
reply was, "All that other boys considered
labor aud har'l study are meie child's play
TO him that his studies could not be hurting
him, he enjoyed them so much." Again
Mr.. Deville endeavored 10 save the child,
but the father would not attend TO the warn-
ing. Two years lro,n that time the father
again called on Mr.. Devills, and in reply 10
his inquiries after his child, the father burst
into tears: his child was an idiot ollv on

The Spirit Of the Age.

This is called Az age Of reform. And
truly great changes have taken place. Tho
good old IA shioncd habits of our fathers are
abolished. The farm house and the old
country homestead, are deserted. Filling
the earth is neither genteel, nor money
making.
The teeming granary, the velvet grass,
the tasseled corn, the fragrant orchard, the
quiet freside, the true life of independence,
are exchanged for the shop, the Office, and
the counter.
The plough is left for the doctors shop,
or the lawyers Office; young men fly to the
towns ant! cities to become knights Of the
yard-stick, and like gaudy butterflies, they
learn to float, caper, and run at the beck
and nod Of the shopping bellies.
They grow up weak, puny, and mind.
less, and ninety out of hundred fail and
cheat the tailor, the barber and the wash
erwomen out Of their little earnings. Most
any device will be followed in this age, r..
ther than hard work. ~ rla7
One man will 60 through town and conn
try, city and village, with = monkey and
hand organ, making the arch Of heaven
hideous with di<cord, and then pass around
the hat to levy contributions for his me-
lody. sd 7tl uai9ais.

1.-THE Almighty makes being too small
to be man, instead of sinking in his insig
nifcance, it is as good as fortune in his

made great ty his own litileness.
A man without hands cuts himself out q
fortune with his feet, and has reason to
thank God, for being shorn Ofhis members.

Of them get choked with their own hearts,

that, since the creation Of Eve, weman's
tongue never failed her.

Later from Mexico.

The Mexico correspondent of the N. o. Plea
yune, under date of the 9th March, says;
"This is now the dulest place imaginable, and
will continue so during the armistce. Several Of
ficers anticipating further active service, have
resigned and returned home with the train which
left here on the 9th inst, and others have returned
on leave which will not terminate until either peace
is made or the armistice ended"
Generals Towson and Gushing and Col Belknap,
members of the Court appointed to inquire into
the difficulties between Generals Scott Worth and
Pillow, and Col. Duncan, arrived in the city of
Mexico on the 18th, with Capt. Ridgely, the Judge
advocate, from Puebla The Court met, and
transacted some preliminary business with closed
DOORS On the 18th it was to meet again, when the
next day the examination of the witnesses will
commence.
Com Perry had commenced to lay contributions
on the towns of St. Juan river, viz On Alvarado

with the gunboat Refer were at Tlacotalpan.
Com Perry left Vera Cruz with large force fol
Campeachy, March Cd, to put the Indians in that
region in more quiet frame of mind than they
now have.
The Monitor states that there is a rumor afloa
that Santa Anna and Paroles have made up theil
minds to issue joint pronunciamento in San Luis
but this, he adds cannot be so, as two cats could
not live in the same bag, and that person worthy
of credit has assured him that he has seen a letter
from Santa to friend desiring him to place money
for him in the island of Jamaica.

THE RIOTERS,

The Irishmen apprehended on Saturday for
the assault on Greasy, were yesterday again
brought up before Judge Clap and after hear
ing of the case, in which Hon. Benjamin Ran
dali appeared for the State, and Washington
Gilbert and +. D. Sewall, Esqrs. for the prls-
oners, seven of them were acquitted and OF
them bound over to answer at the next .erm
of the District Court at Wiscasset. Eight OF
them for want of bail were committed to Jail.
1t is hoped that this will put stop to such
disturbances in our vicinity. The Irish will
see in this that while they will be protected
in their just rights and from the assaults of
their own countrymen, they will be obliged in
turn to respect the rights of their opponents
and to abstain from attacking them or giving
provocation that may lead to an outbreak.

think should hear that sung in the streets of
Paris. l no longer wonder at the effect it has
upon the people. Never have I heard any
thing so exciting. Already they commence
to sing new songs, made for the occasion. We
wore our red ribbons, and you cannot imagine
what an effect they produced. For example
two men pressed themselves between me and
the gentleman whose arm held, but casting
their eyes accidentally upon the badge, they
drew back, saying, "Pardon us citizen p
Every one saluted US with Bon soir, citizen /?

the sort; and assure you it was really anus

should have no fears at this moment in travel
ing Paris alone, under the protection of that
little piece of ribbon. However, last evening
every thing was as quiet as ever; and to dey
l believe all the shops are open as usual
If Louis Napoleon had been here the first
day, he would in my opinion be now King or
Emperor of France but the time is now pas
sed At first many called out for him. am
told that in the midst of the rush of the peo-
pie into the palace of the Tuilleres, when
they were a SO much excited, that on enter
ing the saloon of the Queen, they found a
piano, and that they forced young man to
sit down and play for them, and they all went
to dancing the polka. This is so French that
can believeit without any trouble. l was
also told by gentleman who is one of the
national guard and therefore was eye
witness. that when they entered the chapel,
they all took off their hats before the Christ,
saying, Behold our Master and this, in
the midst of all the excitement, also shows
the character of the people.

CITY OF BATH, HpTll >, 1910.
The records having been read and approved the
President laid before the Board the Report of the
School Committee for the year ending March /,
l848, which was read, showing that about S45C o
had been expended for Schools during the year
The report recommends the erection of two new
buildings for Grammar Schools, with two rooms

Dr.. Coolidge and the Ladies.

A gooc deal of complaint is made in relation to
the conduct of some of the ladies who attended
Coolidgcs trial, and many stories have found their
way into the papers, not much to their credit we
sorry to say In the rush for seats they exhib-
tied no. altogether the most ladylike conduct. For
instance, one lady attempted to drive anothe, from
her seat by the free ofhcr finger nails scratch
ing her fair opponent most severely, who, never
t,sclcss, believe, kept the seat and why
shouldn't she, sect ng she nailed there A few
ladies' too manifested their sympathy for the pris-
oner by throwing boqucts to hin,-one by begging
the pen with which he had been writing-one by
employing the boys to haul her round in the Dr's
sleigh, that she might have the pleasure of saying
she had sat the seat with the dear Doctor
All these things out Of place, and have given
an opportunity for persons out Of the State to speak
disrespectfully of kennebec ladies' although no
doubt ninety-nine one -hundredths of them think
the actions we have alluded to above silly in the
extreme. II is to be hoped that since SO much has
been sad that should another similar trial take
,J1oe. no more such actions will be witnessed.
