Our neishbor the Register gives evi.
dence Gis week Of the general prosperi
ty of the place and country, by coming
out in "No. l" new suit. Setting all
otkcr matters aside, the fact of the sue.
cess of the Register firm the first, and
more recently that of the "Timcs" in
this place, circulating as they do, much
more than the average number Of copies
of country presses. goes very far 10 prove
that the success ofthe community is based
upon that erergy and perseverance tha,
is ever the result OF a diffusion of knowl.
edge and intelligence among the peo.
pie.
By the by, we do not like the new
heading Of the Register as well as we
did the old. We are no admirers Of
gingerbread work, or "chickin' fxins," !"
always excepting such as are eatable.

seen them more than once leave their
shoes stuck fast in the mud.
We know Of some places quite as
important as lronton, that have not been
ashamed to build plank walks to an.
swer the purpose until they were able
to make more perma nent improvement.
Cool plank sidewalks, two feet wide
can be built for about eighty cents per
rod, and when we'll spiked down on
scantlins will last from ten to Gfieon
years. Let them be made and we ven.
ture the opinion that they will answer a
most excellent purpose, and will be
far better than brick so long as tie

over, that we are not afraid 10 express

These doubts and suspicious look
"ominious. However, the communica

been little too personal in their ten.

chose; and scorning his prose, through his
pleading she broke, and thus twas she
spoke:
oh! great is your fame; O'Handy name
from the city you came with your heart
all fame; and thought, in the shade of
mountain and glade, to capture maid by
pomp and parade. Oh! save all your tears,
your hopes and your fears, your ducks
and 'dears,' for some other ears. All men
are agreed you're nice bird indeed; but
you're figures too lean, you're too gaunt
and too green; and that is not all you're ex.
cessively tall; your nose is too big, you've
voice like pig, and you wear a huge wig.
while your upper lip seems just the shade
of your dreams. Now my answer you know
there's the door-you may GO"
Still he fingered to plead his love and his
need and be boasted aud told of his titles
and gold, of her station in life whom he
chose for his wife. But he found twas no
part of mountain maids heart to bear iu-
suit and wrong from al eye or a tongue
That maid could not brook such a word and
look; and she caught down broom that
hung in the room, and hit him q blow that
made the blood flow not gracefully slow.
He lit on all four, just out of the door, all
covered with gore. Then he sprang on his
feet, and considered it sweet and exceed

and he fed from the place in shame and
disgrace; disappeared over the green and

From the Boston Bee
THE GREEN MOUNTAINM MAID.

Twas beautiful spot where the vine
covered cot of the mountaineer stood at the
edge of the wood. There the forest birds
song echoed all the day long, and the noun
tain stream played in the close of the shade;
while the graceful young fawn cropped the
herbage at dawn from the wide spreading
lawn. Twas beautiful spot-'twas q
beautiful cot; and surely there ne'er was a
maid more fair, nor maid more rare, than
the maid that dwelt there. Shall picture
this maid Of the greenwood and glade, as
she was in that day when old Allen held
sway, while the iron-nerved men we're the
pride of the glen?
She was neither too tall, too short nor too
small nor so light nor so airy as the form
of the fairy. But the pride of the glade was
this rosy-cheeked maid, with eyes quite as
blue rs tie summer sky's hue, and the tresses
Of brown floating gracefully down, and nest
ling below on bosom of snow. She could
warble and sing, like the songsters of spring
she could spin and could weep, could NOW
and could reap-could ride the gay steed at
the top of his speed, and had sporteda triAe
with her fathers rife. And this bouncing
young maid, of the evergreen shade was
chaste and refined, and had such mind as
you seldom can find among the g,y maids
of laughter grades.
A lover she had who would have been glad
to capture her heart by his scheming and
art. O'Handy his name, dandy by fame,
who, though wrinkled and parched, was
whiske, ed and starched, and displayed quite
rare and citifed air.
Well, be knelt at her feet, and began to
entreat, while his great bosom heat with un.
merciful heat AMI he told such tale rs he
deemed would not fail to make her believe
that he could not deceive.
While thus he knelt pleading, while thus
interceding, he thought by her smiling that
bis words we're beguiling. But he found
the conclusion hopeless delusion for that
maid was uniiking his scheming-was
thinking; and she thought in a twinklipg,
she'd give him a sprinkling of the well pep
pered ointment Of black disappointment.
Ere he drew <sa close just as high as she
