Eagles Cliff. ! was never tired Of wan
derIng through the glittering rooms Of this
beautiful dwelling, and wsile my father
talked with the men would steal away
alone, or sometimes accompanied by the
lhousekeeper, to admire the rich furniture
and carpets, 10 gaze at the pictures which
adorned it, or to look from the windows.
whose deep recesses showed the thickness
Of the walls, upon the magnificent prospect
which il overlooked. II lay within bend
Of the stream, which here being dark, and
deep, flowed winding and sounding beneath
The shetering bulwark Of giant hills, which
to reeede from The eye until their
purple SUBMITS melted away in tho far
blue distance; Immediately around was the
wide rich valley, with its fertile and unda.
lating fields, its green meadows and featll-
cry coppices, its towering trees and luxuri
ant shrubs, all presenting thousand
Ichsrms TO the ewes Of the adnirer ofnaiurc.
While gazing sometimes thought, If such
"a portion of Gods earth had been given 10
me, | would have remained al home TO en-
joy It.
On expressing something of this kind 10
the housekeeper one day, she told me Mr..
Baryton was somewhat eccentric, and his
only reason for retaining this estate was
because il was bis birth place, and the ia
vori,e abode Of bis mother; that much Of
his time bad been spent in foreign coun-
tries, and smiling she added. that che sup
posed scarcely fraction of his income was
derived from the property which apperred
to us SO considerable. She would also
sometimes, when we were unavoidably de-
tanned, invite my father and myselfto drink
tea with her, in the wide old fashioned
room next the kitchen, where she presided
with great dignity; and. as was favor
ite, she often entertained me as sat in the
bow window with anecdotes of her master
aud his family. She also showed me some
family portraits. One of them in an oval
frame, richly gided and filagreed, hing in
the drawing roem-it was portrait Of
Mrs. Baryton and her son. the present ow-
nor, taken when be was little boy. This
picture had undoubtedly been wrought, by
a skillful hand; the figure of the lady was
fine, the face remarkably handsome. and
the painter had traced with life-like fiaeli
.ty, the look Of maternal pride and tender
ness, with which she regarded the lovely
boy at her side. And often as looked up
on this portrait, when he was represented
with dark rich auburn curls. and deep blue
eyes, shaded by evelsshes so long that they
might have swept his fair though glowing
cheeks, wondered what effect had been
produced upon this ma,chless beauty BY
the wi.hering touch Of time, and whether
the soul which looked from those clear eyes
retained its purity amid the pleasures, the
hnnors, and distinctions of the world.

WATER!

,uhe,c does the water spring, gladsomc and
bright?
Here in the lcafy grove,
pnbbling in life and love;
po,n of The sunlight, up leaping 10 light,
Walked in its pebb!y bed.
when the still shadows fled,
Cushing, o'erhowng, down tambiing ior night.
where does the water flow! where glides the
rf!
Now near the forest shade,
Then in the grassy glade.
Dancing as freely as child OF the MI;
Bright cascades leaping,
Silver brooks creeping,
Wearing the mountains and turning the mill.
Where does the water dwell, powerful and
grand.
Here where the ocean foam
Breaks in lis rock ribbed home,
Flashing, land lashing, up-bounding, wrath
spanned;
Anon swee,ly sleeping,
Soft dimples o'ercreepng,
Iikea babe on It's mothers breast, soothcd by
her hand.
Where smiles the dew-drop the nigh, shadows
WOO!
Where the young iiow'rets dip,
Leaving each periamedl lip
Close in the roses heart, loving and true,
Poised on an emerald shaft,
Where never sunbeam laughed,
Deep in the dng.e, the beautiful dew.
Where glows the waier-pledge, given OF old.
'Tis dropped down from Gods throne,
Where the shower is gone,
4 chain Of pure gems linked with purple and
gold:
In Eden hues blashng,
With infinite gushing,
A line from the Book Of Life, It's lore hall un-
told.
Tae bright bow of promise, the sgnet OF power,
The crown of the sky,
The pathway on high,
Whence the angels bend to us, when darksome
clouds lower,
Breathing 30 silently,
Kindly aud iruthfuIy-
Oh. their wings Tor shield, in the wreath
bearing hour.
Then well love the threads lacing our beautiful
world,
Tangling -sunbeams,
Laughing in glorious CLEANS:
The wayelefs all dimped, and spray tresses
hurled,
The tear on the flowers breast,
The gem in the ecean's crest,
And ,he ladder Of angels, by raln-drops lm-
pearled.

THE "MAINE LAw"-The subject OF
the enactment Of the Maine law in relation
to the sale Of Intoxicating liquors is nov
undergoing discussion, not only 10 all parts
Of this State, but in several others. A sy,
nopsis Of it may not be uninteresting:
1t provides, under penalty of fine ans
imprisonment, that no person, shall be al
lowed to sell intoxicating liquors, unless
appointed to do so by the selectmen Of the
towr, and Mayor, &c, of the city, "lor me-
chanical and medicinal purposes, and nc
o,hch unless such appointee gives bond
and sureiies, in the penalty Of $500, no
to sell for other purposes"
Penalties are recoverable by action O
debt; and it, selectman or alderman shai
endorse his approval of the writ, defendant
shall recover no costs in any event.
There shall be no appeals unless bono
Of $500 be given to pay costs and penalty
in the court appealed 10, and to prosecute
The appeal, and In case of final conviction
defendant shall suffer double the amount ol
fines, cost, and imprisonment.
All liquor sellers are declared incompe-
tent to act as jurors in cases under the
act.
Liquor cases to take precedence Of 9th
er actions in court--no nolle proseqni 10
be entered by court or attorney; and no ad,
lourment but for the sake of justice.
Ifany three voters complain to Judge
or Justice that liquor is deposited for sale
in any store, &C., the Justice shall issue a
search warrant. and the sheriff shall search
the premises, and seize the liquor if found
and destroy il.
Mayors, Aldermen. &C.. are required to
cause searches to be made in huts, &c,
near parade grounds, and like places. and
seize persons and liquor, aud bring them
before the justices who shall order the H.
quor to be destroyed and the owner to be
imprisoned for thirty days,
All payments and contracts in violation
of the law, without consideration and void.
MUTTON mean to repeat at least..a
thousand times, or till what we say have
some effect on our countrymen, that 3
pound of lean, tender, juicy mutton can be
raised for half,he cost of the same quantity
of fat pork; that il is infinitely healthier
food, especially in the summer season, is
more agreeable to the palate, when one
gets accustomed to il; and tha, those who
eat it become more muscular, aud can d
more work with greater ease 10 themselves
than those who eat fat pork. We know
nothing more delicate than smoked mutton
hams OF south-down breed of sheep-veni-
son itself is not superior. Sheep can be
kept in fine growing order where other do,
mes,ic animals will scarcely exist, and
thousands of acres in the State under an
enlightened system of sheep husbandry,
may be made to pay good interest where
now they are nearly dead property in The
hands Of their present owners. -Americaa

FEARFUL LEAP BY A HORSE.

Yesterday n stranger was passing through
Tregerton, in buggy, his horse became
frightened somewhere near the new Foun-
ary, and ran of! His first care seemed 10
be the preservation Of his master for him he
safely deposited in a heap Of sand. He
dashed the buggy to atoms, and went of
a, locomotive speed along the line Of tho
Railroad. The harness and part OF tho
shaft was dangling around his heels. He
had not gone over six hundred yards
when he encountered an abutment Of .
bridge. So great was his speed that he
could not recover himself, and there was
no alternative but certain death on the
rocks below or a Jump Of some thirty or
forty feet. The noble animal seemed to
take n at glance the danger OF bis po-
sition, and when about six feet from the
edge Of the abu,ment gathered himself for
The desperate effort. There was no hesl-
tator-on he ca,ne-life or death was be-
fore him! He planted himself firmly.
drew hack on his launches and sprang OF!
He cleared the space and landed four feet
on the opposite side! The variation Of
hands readth would have thrown him on
the rocksbelow. So close did he come that
his side and legs rubbed and were badly
bruised; but he is now doing we'll and does
not seem to have suffered from bis sdven-
tCre.
One os our Engineers on The Railroad
who was engaged near by, Immediately
took a measurement of the distance, aud
found il to be exactly thirty-two feet.

THE MosTu.-lt was in January, that
one of earin's gentlest spirits passed away

the sweet inmates Of Eden, that like the
daughters Of Eve, had gone forth into all
the world, gladdening the solitary places,
and Disgusting the desserts.
When Winter hid his favorites, the Flow

Spring perennial rules the year, without
frost, fall, or faded leaf.
In this month too, that great Monarch

exchanged the purple, for robe as chill as
the winter Of his own wide plains, and tho
scep,er like golden sunbeam was lost in
the cold, gray cloud Of night and death.
And he who had made voyage round
This dusky planet, SIR FRANcrs DRAxE,
left for another, not with ornaments and
fleets, but a solitary mariner. A few watch
ed his departure from this shore, and turn
ing sadIy away, left him to make bic jour

And Eugland's noble Premier, WILLIAx
Pirr, whose eloquencc charmed both hem

l.st scepter swayed from age to age, over
realms unbGlnded by our sun.

The following table gives a compar-
ative view Of the votes al the Presidential
election Of 1913 and the so called election
which has Just taken place. The. returns OF
only Eighty.f four of the Eighty-Six departments
had been published at our last advlces from

of the returns from Algiers, hardly anything had
been published. This accounts lor the diner
ence in the sum.total Of our table from the
official result announced by the Consultative
