THE OLD MAN.-Bow low the head.
boy: do reverence TO the old man. Once
young like you, The viciSsitudes of life
have slvered the hair and changed the
round merry face TO the care worn visage
before you. Once that heart that beat
with aspirations co-equal to any that you
have felt; aspirations crushed by disap-
polntment, as yours are perhaps destined
to be. Once that form stalked proudly
through the gay scenes Of pleasure, the
beau ideal of grace: now the hand Of
Time that withers the flower Of yester-
day, has warped that figure and DESTROYED
the noble carriage. Once at your AGE,
he possessed the thousand thoughts that
pass throughyour brain; now wishing to
accomplish deeds worthy Of nook in
fame, anon imagining life dream that
the sooner be awoke from the better.
But he has lived the dream very near
through. The time is very near at hand,
yet his eyes ever kindled at old deeds Of
daring and the hand takes firmer grasp
of the staff. Bow low the head, boy, as
you would in your old age be reverenced.

The Lepislatnre

The members of the Legislature convened
in extra session on Tuesday, the Goth inst
A message was received from the Governor in
relation toihe public land, which was referred
to joint special committee of 81 on the part
of the House, and 7 on the part of the Senate.
The remainder of the week was occupied in
discussing the propriety Of doing up other
business for which the session was not called,
and in the presentation of subjects for public or
specific Legislation. Some Of the members,
taking the present 10 be the last chance, came
with their pockets full of Legislative schemes.
We are not informed when they 60 into ballot
for Senator, but suppose that will be attended

The land committee reported on Saturday in
favor of the purchase Of the Massachusetts
land BY the State, "a TO 4, as is stated. Now,
it is supposed, we shall have some interesting
discussions, which, with other business that

tion, at the very moderate price of two dollars

The Maine Missionary Society.

This Society held its 46th anniversary at
Saco, June 22d. We have just received the
sermon preached before the Society by Rev.
S. III. Keeler of Calais, and the annual report
of its operation. The fields of missionary la
Dor in the state are classified in thereport In a
very plain and readable manner, with remarks
of operations respectively. The number is
81, comprising 1O7 churches; and more than
thirty towns and plantations were occupied
last year by 100 missionaries. The whole
amount of service performed has been equal to
ScUenty-one gears. One hundred and ten per-
SONS have been added to these missionary
churches by profession, and ninety-fve by let
ter. These aided churches have contributed
to various objects of benevolence So ,484, 10,
being more than one-fourth of what they have
received from the Society.
The Maine Missionary Society is one of
the most philanthropic objects existing in
our State. Its aim is to supply stated preach
ing In sparse communities too poor to supply
preaching. Many such localities exist in
Maine. The preaching of the gospel ex-
erts mighty influence on human destiny
Where the Bible is read, and its precepts are
urged home with eloquence and power, the
moral and civil interests of the people are pro-
NOTED to degree beyond that of any other
instrumentality. A Bible people cannot be
otherwise than moral people. In this point
of view, the Maine Missionary Society com
mends itself to the benevolent regards of the
philanthropic everywhere. We are glad to
perceive that Bath has contributed largely to
the funds of the Society for a year past. The
Winter St. and Central churches contrib
uted over 1878. Some of the other large do
nations are, Portland $l5O6; Augusta S4I8;
Bangor 1926; Hallowell 1898 Success to
this Society and its object, to make the evil
derness bud and blossom as the rose.''

SUMMARY OF NEws.-The English papers
reprint from American papers Lord John Rus
sells manifesto on the tripartite guarantee Of
Cuba. The document is surprise to the
British republic
Nothing decisive on the Turkish question is
received. The Cars reply cannot arrive by
courier for some days,-say the 18th, but the
fact that he hesitates to telegraph his reply had
awakened symptoms of renewed anxiety, and
had depressed British and French funds his
answer, many, however, yet think may be
peaceful.
The French government were anxiously Ia
boring to make it seem that it is not interfer-
ing with the legitimate course Of trade in buy
ing Breadstufls. The Moniteur publishes an
announcement that the government is not buy
ing up Corn; most extraordinary statement,
it being notorious that it has purchased i'm
mensely.
The Roman territories are in very disturb
ed state; the nominal cause is scarcity Of
food.

rus.

for any Office, who does not throw up his cap
for moral reform. He has inverted the sym
metrlcal pyramid of democratic principles, and
Is trying to stick the apex into the Maine law
for foundation.
And yet another editor calls for democratic
union, mutual copcession, the healing up of old
sores, the wipiug off of old scores and fresh
and vigorous beginning. That is just what
we have been contending for. But we are
tired. The democracy Of Maine, since Port
land mass conventions have come into vogue,
are desperately inclined TO pull apart. We
suppose the mania will have its day till some
thing breaks.
There is nothing ahead, likely to transpire
at very early day, very promising. Maine
may get into the embraces Of whiggery in a
very short time, and she may not. We hope
for the best, but fear the worst. Cool and con-
servative democrats, the pth of the party, must
hope for the best-live on quiet expectation,
and be ready TO hail the day when isms and
hates get down and DEMOCRACY GETS UP.

Result of the Election.

Some of the democratic presses are furnish
Ing thoughts, reflections aud speculation upon
the recent election. One editor pronounces
sentence of condemnation and prescription upon
( All Ooi'ers, particularly Morrell boilers. He
wants 'nem all marked and transported or exc
cuted. That is rather seyere-a kind of loo;c
'ha' chts where It starts. The editor forgets
that ooltlng IN Maine is not considered an un-
pardonable sin. Let him look a, ,Sa ho,,ors
Of old now holding sffice. If the len ,bops,rd
Morrell boilers Of the present year. are to bo
branded with mark 10 their fOreheads. will i,
not rub out Just as easy as the brand on the
twenty thousand Chandler boilers last wear
That is what troubles us. We are in favor OF
putting mark on them, but we do not want to
brand three quartersof the democratic party,
or make fish of one section and flesh of another.
Another editor has gone off a-fshing or a
hunting, and says he believes there has been
an election lately at least, he has dim recol-
= lection of very recent past, like the recolec-
( tlOn OF sort of day-dream. He is wise man.
We advise him to stick to the ishing-rod and
the rifle till he improves his memory.

Edward Everett on Cuba.

Hon. Edward Everett, Mr.. Fillmore's Sec
retary Of State, although no longer in office,
has thought proper to answer the despatch of
Lord John Russell, addressed to Mr.. Cramp-
ton on the tri-partite treaty for preserving Gu
ba to Spain. And he uses up the British di-
plomatist pretty effectually.
After disposing, says the Boston Post, of
preliminary things, Mr.. Everett adverts to
the grounds upon which the United States
rest the claim of having paramount interest
in Cuba. He then goes into close and in
teresting examination of the remark made by
Lord John relative to the avowal that the
President could not repress the Lopez expedi-
ton. This is pressed in such manner as to
leave Lord John Russell in melancholy
plight. The same thing is done as to Lord
Johns lecture on American law. The man.
ner in which this law was Violated in the
British orders of council, and French, Berlin
and Milan DEGREES, is dwelt upon, and forced
home in a way that must be peculiarly re-
freshing to Lord John in particular, and to
John Bull generally.
Never did diplomatist lay himself 50 open
as did Lord John Russell IN his short, curt,
impudent, arrogant and shallow DESPATCH
Mr.. Everett has answered him American fash
ion, Secretary Marcy, who wields diplo-
matte pen inferior to no other in America,
will, we are confident, also give him thor
ough and complete official reply; one worthy

FATAL ACCIDENT. AS two young men, the
one named Charles Winslow, formerly Of Wal
dOboro', the other Oliver Gay, son Of Alden
Gay at the marsh, were at work in blasting
rock at the Marine Railway on Ingraham's
Point on Monday last, charge Of powder un-
expectedIy exploded which has since resulted
in the death Of Winslow. We learn that after
the charge had been prepared, and the fuse
lighted, and they had remained at distance
sufficient time, as they supposed, for the ex
plosion, inferring that it had gone out, they
approached the place, when at the moment the
explosion occurred. The fragments badly
mutilated the face and completely broke asun-
der the skull of Winslow, so that he died on
Tuesday about noon. He was about l9 years
old, and is spoken Of BY all who know him as
a very upright and Industrious young man, and
much respected. Gay was badly injured in
