FREsHET ON THE PENoBscor. The Ban
gor Wing has the following additional account of
the ireshet and the consequent loss to the lumber
men:
''The rise of water by the late rain set the logs,
of which the river at Mattawamkeag was full, in
rapid motion, broke the trip boom, leading the
logs into the main boom, and twenty thousand of
the best Eagle Lake logs run over Odtowu Falls;
the river at one time on Tuesday was SO full of
logs as to admit of "a person crossing the river on
them Preparations made for securing the logs
along the river, and but few passed this city.
The loss, however, will be great from the expense
of securing the logs in their scatterd condition,
and from their being away from the mills of the
owners This course of the logs has very blue
streak to our people interested in lumber
The long drought fthe last summer, keeping the
logs back, and the high prices of provisions and
labor, and all the articles required in numbering,
VIII cause great shrinking in the operations in
the woods the present season and probably much
less quantity of logs than usual will be cut on the
Penobscot waters"

OIL SPRING.-A new petroleum, or oil spring,
has been discovered in Western Virginia, near
the forks of the Hughes river. 1t was (onnd in
snkinga well for salt. Instead of salt, however,
the spring commenced blowing out mineral oil,
and has continued to furnish il at intervals IN
to the present datc-about fourteen GALLONS of
oil being produced every fifth day. An account
which appears In the Christian Advocate and
journal, says that the stratum yielding the OF,
lies parallel with the bed of the river, is general
y near FIVE feet thick, and is reached in various
places by sinking pits thirty feet into the earth
Some pits fifteen feet square, have yielded one
hundred and thirty FIVE barrels of oil, but all are

FLOWING IN PoRTUGAL.-The way they
pillow IN Portugal, is primitive, indeed. late
traveller says:
Theprincipa agricultural instrument used here
and throughout the provinces, is the laya. 1t is
ponderous iron fork, consisting of two prongs, six
inches apart, and yard long, the handle being
formed of perpendicular piece of wood attached
to one extremity of the horizontal bar which
unlIes the prongs. When field is to be turned
over, eight or dozen peasants station themselves
IN row, each holding laya in both hands,
which they simultaneously raise, and then with
the impetus of the descent, drive deep into the
ground, turning up ridge Of soil at each delve
They then take one step backward, and perform
the same operation with singular rapldity and
reguIaritY.

Work, work, my boy, be not afraid,
Look labor boldly in the face;
Take up the hammer or the spade,
And blush not for your humble place.
Hold up your brow in honest pride,

Such hands are sap veins that provide
The life blood OF the nations free.

That finds us in the lurrowed fields;

LIFE.

We are born, We laugh, we weep;
We love, we drooP, we diel
All! wherefore do we laugh or weep2
Why do we live, or die?
Who knows that secret deep?
Alas, not !
Why doth the violet spring
Unseen by human eye?
Why do the radiant seasons bring
Sweet thoughts that quickly aN?
Why do our fond hearts cling
To things that dle?
We toil-through pain and wrong;
We fght-and fly;
We love, we lose, and then, ere long,
Stone dead we lie.
