Under date of Jnly 6, is found this en-

"Boston New, Letter." a paper publish

of May 81, 1859, there is notice Of
Gov. Pownals arrival from the Penob-
scot. In this it is said 1.-The Fort will

latest, bring the tine of the competition
of the Fort to the last Of June, sig days,
earlier than the date IN Smiths journal.
1t therefore is corrobcrative Of his date
rather than that OF the History Of Maine.
These circumstances are sufficient to cre-

to make further inquiry. Very likely
some Colonial records may be found

The only respectable occupation which
there is Tor an individual is that for
which he has the best natural adapta-
ton. If he takes any other, he can nei-
thcr make himsolf respectable nor
wealthy. What he can do best is the
most appropriate occupation for him.
Better, far better is it to be at the head
of any trade than at the foot Of any pro-
fession. In the former position, there is
usefulness and profit; i'll the latter, moth
ing but modification, poverty and USE
lcssness. Let our mechanics ponder up
on these suggestions. Let them resolve
to make themselves eminent in the trade
to which they are engaged, and, our
word for it. they never need complain Of
want Of cmployment,or lack of remuncr-
alton. But if they content themselves
with mediocrity. they will certainly be
unsuccessful, bee use s. ill, not mere la

No DIyoReE.-In South Carolina
there is no divorce after married; wed
for life must be the fact in law when an
instance of divorce has n2ver been
known there, 1t has been authoritA-
lively settled that no Judicial tribunal in
the State has authority to declare de-
cree of divorce for any cause whatsocv-
er. If the power exists at all it is in
the Legislature, which has hitherto nev-
er though: proper to exercise the power.
Further, it has been determined by the
Courts of South Carolina, that a mar
riage solemnized in that State is iudis-
soluble by the sentence of any Court in
sister State, so as to affect the rights
or condition of the parties in South Car
olina. 1t will be seen, then, that it is
much easier to tie the knot than to undo
it. With rare exceptions, the ceremony
of marriage is, in fact, performed by a
clergyman; but the indissolubllity OF the
marrisge contract is not only part of the
law, but is the fixed and habitual senti-
ment Of the community on the subject
OF divorce. South Carolina, hence, may
well be called the marriage state.

SOUTH CAROLINA MAIDS OF THE
OLDEN TINE. In turning over the
leaves of book, lately published. our
eye chanced to fall on the following
petition, signed by sixteen maids of
Charleston, and presented to the Cover
nor of that province on March l, 1888
HIS ExcELLENcY Gov. JOHNSON -
The humble petition of all the maids
whose names are underwrttcn
Whereas, we, the humble petitioners,
are, at present, in a very melancholy
disposition of miad. considering how all
the bachelors are blindly captivated by
widows, and our youthful charms there
by neglected; the consequence Of this
our request is that your Excellency will.
for the future order that no widow shall for
the future presume to marry any young
man till the maids are prooided for; or
else pay each of them fine for satisfac-
ttinn for inradi,o our liberties; and
likewise a fine to be laid on all bachelors
as Shall be married to widows. The
great disadvantage it is to US maids is.
that the widows, by their forward car
riages, do snap up the young men. ard
have the vanity to think their merits
beyond ours, which is a great imposi-
ton on US who ought to have the pre-.
ference.
This is humbly recommended TO your
Excellency's consideration, and hope
you will prevent any further insults.
And we poor maids, as duty bound.
will ever pray.
7. S-l being the oldest maid, and
thereby NEST concerned, do think it
proper to be the messenger to your
Exccllency in behalf Of my fellow sub
scr;bers. - Sacanaal Republican.

SHILLING THE LIQuoR The Catholic Priest
in this village, who merits the thanks OF our
citizens for his zAlous Efforts to break up
the liquor traffic among the Irish, learned re-
Gently that some OF his people were in tho
habit Of receiving liquors through tho Ex.
press. Thursday he discovered Il five gal
lon keg tul Of Il. Il. brandy at the Express
Office, directed to an lrishman by the name
Of Doyle. He Immediately went and
brought Doyle to the Express Office, and de-
mandcd of the eNprcssmIn to know whether
he was the man. Doyle stood in anxious
suspense, shaking his head Tor the express
man to an>w + in the negative; but he was
pronounced the criminal. The Priest, after
paying the express bill, then seized the keg.
and proceeding to the river wall, broke in
the head and spilled the ''precious stuff, >
while Doyie stood by, the picture OF despair,
with bath hands r4sed upward Lctcisto.

N O w =!

The following lines from Household Words
are full of wholesome advice. as we'll as beau.
,ifuI imagery. They convey to the youthful
dreamer n lesson which it would be well fol
him to ponder:
Arise! for the day is passing,
While you lie dreaming or;
Your brothers are cased in armor,
And forth to the fight have gone;
Your place in the rank awaits you;
Each man has part to play;
The past and the future are nothing
In the face of the stern to-day.
Arise from your dreams Of the future
OF gaining hard fought field,
OF storming the airy fortress,
OF bidding the giant yield.
Your fortune has deeds of glory,
Of honor, (God grant it may y
But your arm will never be stronger,
Or needed as now-to-day.
Arise! If the past detain you,
Her sunshines and storms forget
No chains so unworthy to hold you
As those of a vain regret;
Sad or bright she is lifeless ever;
Cast her phantom arms away,
Nor look back To learn The lesson
OF . noble strife to-day.
Arise, for the day is passing;
The sound that you dimly hear
Is your enemy marching to battle!
Rise rise for the foe is near!
Stay not to brighten your weapons,
Or the hour will strike at last,
And from the dreams Of a coming battl,
You will waken an1 find it past.
