KEEP YuUsG- There is no surer de-
stroyer Of youth, of youths privileges,

the spirit to the empire OF il-iemper and
selfshness. We should all be cautions
as we advance in lie, Of allowing oc'
casiona sorrowful experience TO over
shadow our perception Of the prepon'
derances OF good.
Faith in good IS at once its own rec
ttude and reward. To believe good,
and to do good truly and trusllully, is
the heal,hlest of humaniIy's conditions
To take events cheeriully and promote
the happiness Of others, is the way TO
insure the enduring spring OF existence.
Content and kindness are the soft
vernal showers and fostering sunny
warmth that keep man's nature and

leave a gracious memory behind US
there is no way better TO secure il than

blossoms, and bears sweet fruit Tor

Oninion of Down East"

A correspondent of the Boston Journal has
been down on the Penobscot river, and is
agreeably surprised at the amount Of strawber-
ries and civilization he finds in Maine. Those
Massachusetts natives, take them from the soil
ten miles out of Boston, have grown up with
the impression that "down east" is very
woody place, and the natives of Maine kind
of simple, primitive people. Hence, when
they come down here, they are very much sur
prised.to find "gentility and taste' generally
prevalent, and go home satisfied, as appears to
have been the case with this correspondent,

Deer are abundant. Within a mile of the

recent protection law is doing good. The
penalty for killing deer, out of specified
bOnnd is $50, moose $40, and on no condi
ton is a nonresident Of the State to be al
lowed to hunt. This restriction resulted from
the fact that the French Canadians have been
yearly in the habit of visiting the lake where
moose water, killing and haying-then fling
ing the carcasses into the water and bearing
off the pelts. AT Moosehead lake this has
been done TO the number of 800 animals per

Of timber is obtained from the head waters of

Affection.

We sometimes meet with men who think
any indulgence in an affectionate feeling is a
weakness. They will return from journey
and treat their families with distant dignity,
and move among their children with the cold
and lofty splendor of an iceburg, surrounded
with its broken fragments. There is hardly a
more unnatural sight on earth than one of these
families without heart. A father had better
extinguish his boys eye than take away his
heart. Who that has experienced the joys of
friendship, and value sympathy and affection,
would not rather lose all that is beautiful in
natures scenery, than to be robbed of the hid
den treasures of his heartl Cherish, then,
your hearts best affections. Indulge in the
warm and gushing and inspiring emotions of
filial, parental, fraternal love. Think it not
weakness. God is love; love God, every body
and every one that is lovely. Teach your
children to love-to love the rose, the robin
to love their parents; tol love their God. Let
it be the studied object Of their domestic cul-
ture to give them warm hearts and ardent af-
fections. Bind your whole family together by
those etronr cords
