IMMENSE YIELD.-James G.. Page, Esq.
of this town, has raised the past summer,
from piece of ground only nine feet wide
by forty-fve long, one thousand and six
teen pounds of Marrowfat squashes, avera-
ging in weight from ten to forty pounds
each.
AS the whole sold readily at one cent
per pound, we believe that this may be
considered about as profitable as any pro-
duct of the same amount of New Hamp-
shire soil. An acre at the same rate
would produce 1O9,276 pounds, and of
course its products would be worth

feelings and impulses, and as her sister
Mary arose from the music-stool, she took
her seat at the piano. Gently she touched
the keys, but how different the sound from
that which had flowed from her sisters
touch. Instead of the almost chaotic whlrl
of the fashionable musical furOr, there
came soft, sweet, strain of heart-touchng
melting melody, and in moment more
the gentle performers voice mingled IN tho D
harmony. The song was a sweet gem OF
holy thought and feeling, appealing for
sympathy alone to the heart OF love and
humanity, and even Mary and Ellen stood
half entranced by the sentiment and the
accompanying melody. Winfield instlnc,
lively arose from his seat and approached
his young sister, while the old man wiped
a happy tear from his eye, as the song pro-
ceeded At length the music ceased, and
as Lucy turned in her seat, she was met
by the question from both her sisters and
Miss Fenning: -.
" Where did you get that sweet thing Z"
"Tell me, Lucy" said her father, as
she hcsitated in her answer, at the same
time laying his hand upon her head,
"where did you learn that song never
heard your sisters sing it."
"Perhaps / ought not to tell )" returned
Lucy, as she looked up half blushingly into
her fathers face.
"You are not bound to secrecy, are
you :"
go, no."
"Then, why not tell -
Because" returned the fair young gill,
casting a meaning glance at her father,
you might not think so much Of it if you
knew the author"
"Never mind that, Lucy" said Winfield,
whose curiosity was fairly excited, and who
seemed to hope that he had guessed the
truth "tell me, whose is it :"
"Well," said Lucy, 1T is Done other
than Laura Ackerman's"
"Our seaoing girl " said Mr.. Morgan,
casting upon his wife glance that meant
as much as words could have conveyed.
Gone that she picked up somewhere"
suggested Mary.
Yes" answered Lucy, with flash of
quick pride, cup from the fount of her
own pure soul 20
This time, Mrs Morgan sought to change
the current of conversation, but the effects
of Lucy's information were not so easily
removed, and though Winfield resumed his
seat by the side of Louisa Fenning, yet he
had lost much of the social freedom which
had characterized his conversation an houl
before, and though the lady redoubled hel
efforts to please the young doctor she found
her arts in vain.

QUITE RoMANTlC.-Upon the conclu-

Ct., the venerable justice invoked the pro-

newly married pair, in the following strain
of heartfelt eloquence -

rest upon you, and every moral and social
virtue unite you more and more. May
that Almighty Being, whose ways are not
as our ways, and whose thoughts are not
as our thoughts-who rules in the armies

nectar and ambrosia, the food of Heaven.

from Waterville, Me. -
"The authorities here have poured out
100 gallons Of rum which had been deposi-
ted for safe keeping in the cellar of the
Almshouse. They took it out in front of
the building, and, as soon as it began to
run, a woman, an inmate of the Aims
house, cried with loud voice: If that
had been done thirty yeals ago, my hus-
band would not have died drunkard, and
I, with my six children, would not now
have been here.'

A TERRIBLE GALE.-Our exchanges bring
us accounts of terrific gale on the coast Of
Nova Scotia, which took place on the 9th inst.
II is said to be impossible to estimate the loss Of
life, and the number of vessels foundered by this
gale. About $50 vessels from Gloucester, and
probably twice that number from other towns
in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut
arc reported to have been swept into destruction,
carrying despair and misery into the bosoms Of
hundreds of families.

And now, to be serious, is it not strange, is it

Union 9' We love the Union our fathers gave us
and we desire to preserve it, No people can long
enjoy liberty and independence who do not know
their rights and contend for them, Here are the
simple questions, we ask for equality in the Union
and the majority refuse to give it to us. The
Southern States parts of the soveregnties of
the District of Columbia and the majority refuse
to let US go into our own district with our proper
ty. Congress takes our own money and buys

we point them to the North, to the abolition socie
ties-antislavery Conventions-they answer go,
fiddle sticks, they only little hand full of men
who cares for them" The truth is there are
two great political parties at the North nearly
equally divided. One is the abolition party who
declare that they now ready to act upon sa-
very that there is higher law than the Constitu-
ton. The other the constitutional party with free
soil sentiments-"Sory that Congress has no
power over Slavery''-they want to keep US in the
Union, but hold our nose to the Compromise, and
choke us down with slavery by combining it to its
present limits and in the language of Daniel Web
ster, 'hope that Providence will point out some
way to effect it, in other words when the North
western territory is settled up, there will be two
thirds against us and they alter the Constitu-
ton and abolish Slavery in spite of us. And be-
cause we don't, act with party that tends to self
destruction, they sing siren songs of "Uai0n,
Glorious Union" If we are yet free people
aproud and independent people, we ought to open
our eyes and look around us-act prudently, act
wisely. Save the Union if we can--havc our

Can it exist on either of these suppositions to
