Foster or Bradbury,

The public mind has been vibrating be-
tween these two men for two weeks, as the
different rumors and fi,urin,s of the friends
On each side reached it through the press, or
by telegraph. We have not doubted the re-
suit from the first, and have uniformly said
to. We knew that Fosters majority in this
county was not put down as large as it is,
and we believed that Aroostook did not cast
quite eleven hundred majority, though an
Ellsworth gentleman procured dispatch to
be sent here announcing that she did. But it
has at times been amusing, to witness the
different fsurinss for Bradbury, during the
short SIT ace of twenty-four hours. No less
than three different footings to his majority,
have heen given in one day. And every
Saturday night. some fresh dispatch render
ing the victory sure from some wise one,
would reach here, which with the usual
quantity of Medford, served to keep the
.'ferce democracy from injury till Mon
day morning. Then, the Buchanier flag, at
the Falls, would be thrown t, the breeze, I'M
der a double dose of inspiration, and Custom
House boasting. Letters from the govern
ment shop in Ellsworth, where cmanatcd the
"Porsy epistles'' have gone all over the
county carrying the ne1s Of Bradbury's cleo
ton Thus stimulated, and thus ted on the
empty boastings of those who all the while
knew better, have the faithful BUCCANEERS
been sent into the upper regions of hope,

stick. Even the rcloubtablc Clancy boastc d

urday night, after the election, between S
and Q, the Custom House, just after rcceiv-
ing one of its many "clothes-line' dispatches
was suddenly in a blaze of glory. Three
fluid lamps illuminated the windows, while
one of the happy crowd inside, burned q
bundle of Machas Unions in the stove. and q
feeble attempt was made to give three cheers
for Bradbury. Owing to the state of the at
mosphere. Or some bronchial difficulty, in
stead of the usual hip, hip, hurrah, it was
but faint hic, HE, hu-hu-rah. The boy'
on the other side of the street, gave three
rousing cheers for Foster, and the Custom
House went into an eclipse. and the happy
BUCCANEERS left.
The conclusion of this whole matter is just
h re-Mr. Foster is elected, and Mr.. Brad
bury is not. Our friends may RELY upor
this. The opposition at Bangor and Angus

say on the subject. The Times of yesterday

BANKRUPT LAWS AND OLD DEBTS.

BANKRUPT LAWS AND OLD DEBTS
Bankrupt law or no bankrupt law, the
truly honest man never considers his
debts cancelled. With him their pay
ment is a matter of time only-that is,
his purposeto pay only ends with his life,
or when the unmistakable evidence Of
permanent inability, which oldage, incu-
rablc disease, OF decrepitude furnishes,
is brought home to him. Thus only it
should be. The debtor who skulks be-
hind bankrupt law proves himself ut
terly wanting in that honesty which is
said to be the best policy, try to justify
himself as he may! He is a rogue and
a robber He is one in principle as
well as in practice. He never can en-
Joy his future gains in the true sense
Of enjoyment, and consequently never
can know real happiness. Aconscious
ness ofright doing IS indispensable
to, real happiness. He who seeks it
in disregard Of this, is doomed to GER
tain disappointment and ultimate sor-
row!
Time does not destroy the moral OBJ
legation to pay old debts. 1t does not
even lessen itin the court Of conscience,

is as much connection between
the words and thoughts as there is be-
tween the thoughts and words /; the lat
ter are not only expressions Of the for
mer, but they have power to react upon
the soul, and leave the stain Of Their
corruption there. A young man who
allows himself to use one vulgar or
profane word has not only shown that
there is foul spot on his mind, but
by the utterance Of that word he extends
that spot and inAamcs it, till, by i,dul-

soul. Be careful Of your words as well as
thoughts. Ifyou can control the tongue
that no improper words are pronounced
by it, you will soon be able also to con-

ruption. Yousextinguish the fire by
smothcring it, Or BY preventing bad

8. Never 60 to full table during

wisest thing you can do under such cir

from the sugar and cream and bread,

by safe degrees, to regainits usual Wig

may take full meal, provided it does
not bring it later than two hours before
shutdown; if later, then take nothing
for that day in addition to the cracker
and tea, and the next day you will feel
