dawned upon the people OF Scrogtown, who
were aroused from their slumbers by the ring.

noises incident to such an important occasion.
Scarcely had daylight appeared, ere the
little common, the favorite resort of the
ScrogtOwners, was covered with stones, occu-

Everybody appeared to be in high spirits.

ODE BY W. N. C. HAYWARD, RAoR.
lf ed, in--- rf
The Knights of Malta, noble band,
In ancient days renowned,
Brave to defend righteous cause
With glittering armour crowned.
In Palestine (the Holy land,)
They mafAhed an army grand,
Avenging wrongs to poor and weak,
Sworn by each one to stand.
They bore the emblem of the Cross,
Plumed hemlet on the brow,
Crusaders in the olden time
We share their glory now.
Records on the scroll of Fame,
Enduring to all time,
OF worthy, honored, ieudal name,
OF chivalry sublime.
Descending from such noble sires,
Our hearts with valor burn
To emulate their worthy deeds,
And priceless laurels earn.
As sons of Malta we unite
And own their name with pride,
Unfurl our banners with their crest
The golden rule our guide.
To feed the hungry, clothe the poor,
Support the orphan dear;
The widow and the fatherless
With kindness ever cheer.
Each others wants we will relieve,
zach others sorrow share,
The cares Of life though thick they come
We equally will bear.
We make no show or empty boast
To blazon forth our name
In secret ways our acts abound
Pure Charity our aim.
No plot of treason ever fear,
No overt act e'er dread;
We are for the Union to the last,
With Washington our head.
We speak by signs, and symbols, too,
Which we all understand
But these we cannot tell to YOU
They bind us as band.
These politics we will maintain
Our Country now and ever;
The Constitution for our guide,
True Union men forever.
As sons of Malta we are bound
This Union to prolong;
America our fondest boast
Columbia right or wrongl
Our nations flag we will unfurl
Her honor is our glory;
The Sons of Malta are enrolled
Commingling with our story.
This glorious flag our fondest boast,
Our ORDERS flag forever;
The Stars and Stripes of this our land
Shall be down trodden neveri
And on fair Cuba's verdant plains
OF rich and golden hue,
Columbia's flag, If they desire,
Can wave in triumph too.
It's eagle, soaring high above,
Shall point to us most true
High honor, as she bears aloft
Our own Red, White and Blue.
May we all meet as brothers. meet,
With hands and hearts entwined
Good will to all, and peace on earth,
With Charity combined.
And, ladies fair, our hearts best love,
With joy We see you all,
And welcome yo,i with hearts of Joy
To grace our ORDERS Hall.
Your presence binds US here this day
In golden chains of love;
Your smiles light up life's weary way
May you our acts approve.
Then shall you all our virtues learn,
Our secrets never press,
But greet US with cheerful smile,
The Sons of Malta bless.
And when upon this world below
Life's journey We plod ON,
May our model be the Patriot Chief,
The Immortal WASHINGTON.

Leyees of the Dutton Children

These little girls who unitedly do not weigh
rs much as Gen. Tom Thumb, give Leyees at
Peirces' Hall, Belfast, Thursday August IL, at
four and eight o'clock The Portland papers
state that 5000 persons visited them there
They are said to be very beautiful. The Bos-
ton papers state that forty thousand persons
visited them at their six weeks levees in that
CITY. The Boston journal says:
sThese extraordinary juveniles are now on
exhibition in Boston. If Tom Thumb, in
his day, was amarvelof httleness, what shall
be said Of two human beings whose united
weight falls short Of the atomic proportions Of
the wonderful little General These Lillipu-
tan girls weigh thirteen and fifteen pounds,
respectively. As they came upon the stage
at the Music Hall, on Saturday afternoon,
upon the occasion of their first appearance in
Boston, thrill of surprised admiration went
through the audience. Combined with their
try of form and feature, grace Of movement
and artlesscess Of manner. Their happy faces
shaded with haxen curls, are gems of intelli-
gent beauty, and so provocative Of kisses that
the manager has been forced to make it an
imperative rule that they must not be kissed
by everybody This stringent regulation
comes Win severity upon ali MauidS aliu sulS
who have faith in kissing, and who have never
been injured by labial applications of that kind
As the manager passed through the audience
with one of the little ones, so as to afford all
anear view, very amusing commotion among
old and young was excited. The no-kissing
rule being still imperative, many hand was
furtiYely extended to touch the tiny object of
interest. While Eta retired to don suit of
boys clothes, DolIie insisted on going to rear
Of the platform to visit baby, whose voice
had been rather unpleasantly conspicuous in
the early part of the entertainment. Dollie
accordingly went and kissed the wondering
baby, which winked and shook its head in the
midst of throng Of children crowding up to
behold the incident. Presently Eta appeared
in jacket and pantaloons, and seating herself
in tiny chair, crossed legs with sang froid
that wasirresistibly amusing. The entertain
ment was continued with dancing and singing
both of which were performed with bewitching
grace and simplicity. Mayor Lincoln was
present with his family, and appeared to be
not the least interested among the large an
dience.'

SAGAc1TY OF HoRsE.-A very curious,
not uncommon, instance of sagacity in the ami
NAL came under observation lately in the
crowded neighborhoodo of Long Lane, Bermond-
sey. The London Review says:
A cart-horsein harness, whilst its by no
means careful keeper was solacing himself in
a low public house, started off at pretty
brisk trot down the lane. Happening to come
to group of children, one of whom, a baby
not more than two years old, stumbled and fell,
the animal deliberately stopped, placed the
child out of the way with his teeth, and con-
tinued his course as if nothing had occurred
But his philanthropic propensities did not stop
here, for, meeting with similar group, he re-
peated the action, after which, as if fearful Of
committing some mischief, he quietly suffer
ed himself to be caught and led back.

A Founding.

It has been reported to US that one morning
last week-Thursday morning, we believe
well-dressed lady like looking person presen-
ted herself at stall in the market house, and
after infinitely examining some butter, bought
ii. On looking for her pocket-book to get the
money to pay for it however she found she
didn't have it with her so she requested the
market man to take care Of her basket until
>she could go home and get the money. This
ne Very politely consented to do and the lady
left Time passed oH-and -nurchaser Of
the butter did not rvtufn. Still he Kept
guard over the basket, expecting every min
ute she would be back. At last just as the
market hours were closing, singular noise
4emanated from the bottom Of the basket
That sound struck him aall in heap" He
hastily removed the covering, and there an
extraordinary spectacle met his wondering
gaze. He saw snugiy reposing at the bottom
Of the basket q healthy and fine looking infant,
which had evidently just walked up from a
sound sleep.
The gentleman upon whose tender mercies
this waif has been cast is, we understand, a
well-to-do-armer, and married though child
less man. Perhaps these circumstances had
something to do in directing the course of the
unknown female.

or IT Is perhaps known to the public
that great amount of riches is now beins
found on the Isthmus Of Panama. 1t was ths
custom among the heathenish tribes who PEG
pied this country to bury with the dead the
gold and treasures they possessed during then
lives. Thanks to the motives which induced
these sayages to hold inviolably sacred the res
ting place Of their fathers, these treasures
must now part company with the dust Of
their owners to enrich us Of the nineteenth
century. In relation to yield these mines
the New York Courier and Enquirer has the
following:
CHIR1oUI GoLD.-At Messrs. Ball & Blacks
there can be seen some Of the gold taken from
the new Adiggings. It is in the form Of small
images, rudely made, representing birds, dra-
gons, frogs, and various small animals, and il
found on the left hand side Of the grave of the
Indians buried in Ghiriqui. The excitement
on the Isthmus is very great, and already up
warls Of 1000 graves had been opened, and
at least $50 1000 worth of gold taken out
The specimens at Messs Ball and Blacks were
brought her by DR.. Otis. The gold Is sold on
the Isthnaus for $50 per ounce.
