The BEAUTY OF A BLUsH.-Goethe
was in company with mother and her
daughter, when the latter. being reproved
for some fault, blushed and burst into tears.
He said 80 How beautiful your reproach
has made your daughter! The crimson
bue and those silvery tears become her bet
ter than any ornament of gold or pearls.
These may be hung on the neck of any
woman, but these are never seen discon-
nected with moral impurity. A full blown
rose, besprinkled with the purest dew, is not
so beautiful as this child blusbing beneath
her parents displeasure and shedding tears
of sorrow for her fault. A blush is the
sign which nature hangs out to show where
chastity and honor dwell"

"The Board of Overseers Of Harvard

the appointment of Truman Henry Stafford,
as Assistant Professor Of Astronomy at the
Observatory. Professor Stafford is widely
known as the eminent and learned mathe-
matician, whose early youth gave such
wonderful proof Of mathematical genius.
He has been engaged at the Observatory
for some years past, during which time he
has contributed much to the advancement
of theoretical and observational astronomy,
his researches on the perturbations Of Siri-
us, and his discovery of Feronia, being
among his recent labors invested with
popular interest. He is the fourth person
who has been officially connected with the
Observatory since it went into operation in
1876.

CONSERVATIVES AND he
Richmond Dispatch says -


If we were called upon to say which is
the worse man, Wendell Phillips, who is
the embodiment of Massachusetts, fanatics,
Edward Everett, who represents its con-
servalism, or Caleb Cushing, its politician,
we should find no difficulty in a reply.
We hare infinitely more respect for Ven
dell PhiHips. or any honest fanatic, than
either of the Others. The fanatic has prin-
ctples-such as they are-chils the CONNER
cial class has no principal ,chaterer bit
selfshness. If it is opposed TO Abolition
ism, it is because the success Of Abolition
ism would be fatal to trade. Could con-
servatism be convinced that freeing the
slaves would increase the production of
cotton, it would be converted in an hour
into the very genins of universal emanci-
patton. We dread and d-test such an enc
my as this more than honest abolitionism.
We dispise and execrate Edward Everett
and Caleb Gushing more than Phillips
or Garrison. No an of homer could take
Everett or Gushing by the hand-the lat
ter especially. If there be negro in the
South as degraded as Cushing, he ought
instantly to be freed and sent to Massachus-
cts.

The condition of the people in south
western Missouri is represented to be very
distressing. The whole country has been
laid waste. Houses, fences, horses, cattle,
everything used about farm, and every
thing necessary to the subsistence of the
family, have been swept away. And, what
is equally as bad, the male members Of
families are all abroad, either in the federal
or rebel armies, and the women and child

| To, CoRREspospENrs.-T following
excellent hints to, newspaper contributors
we copy from the Vergennes Esruonter and
commend them,to, thoughtful attention
We have repeatedly stated that we should
not publish anonymous communications, and
yet writer's continue TO send articles With
the initials Of their names, so we suppose.
as though initials we're not anonymous TO Us.
As to department devoted to such trite
subjects as Hope" :" economy" &c, We
don't think it would interest anybody but
! the writer's and their friends. What We
want is, the marriages in the different towns,
deaths, accidents, accounts, very brief, Of
public social gatherings, news incidents gtH-
orally. Such would add greatly to the in
serest Of the paper
To writer's of rhyme or poetry, whose
contributions we accept, we must request
them to write less frequently, and with more
care. See that each verse has the right
number of feet, or If you do not understand
that, have your metre and accent correct,
every single line--every word. Take an
example from Tom Moore's beautiful hymn:
"Thoa art oh God the life and light
OF all this wondrous world we SEQ;
Its glow bv day its smile by night,
Are but reflections caught from thee"
That is poetry, and the measure perfect,
the accent exact, coming always on the
second word or part Of word. In poetry
it may be ON the first and third as well az
the second, &c.

A REBRL OEFICER's INGRATITUDE.-
Very many of our readers will recollect
Eben Ellery, who formerly resided in this
town, and passed his boyhood among us.
He is now Lieutenant in one of the COM
panes belonging to Maine regiment, which
participated in the battle at Ant,etam. Af-
ter the battle was over, he was detailed
with several others to go over the battle
field and render assistance to the wounded.
While passing along he was accosted by a
rebel officer who begged of him in Gods
name to give him some water. Having a
little left in his canteen, he complied with
the request by placing it to the lips of the
wounded man who quaffed it eagerly. Be-
ing somewhat revived, he asked Ellery on
which side he belonged, and was answered,
f" for the Union" The words had scarcely
passed his lips, ere the wounded rebel, who
was almost in the arms of death, drew his
revolver, and with curse upon his lips
fired upon the unsuspecting soldier, who
had freely given him the last drop Of wa
Ter in his canteen and was about to render
still further assistance. The hall took ef-
feet in his leg, making an ugly wound,
which renders it necessary for him TO be
sent to the hospital, where he yet remains
suffering from its Effects Gloucester i'd

The Chimney Corner.

| The old chimney corner! 1t rs endeared
to the heart from the earliest reecollections
What dreams have been dreamed there
What stories told what hours passed l,
was place to think in, to laugh in, anG
much the contest to rest in.
1t was there where dear old grandmams
used to- sit at her knitting, warming hel
poor rheumatic back against the warm wall
where grandpnpa used TO fall asleep over
his newspaper where mamma used to
place her spnning-wheel, and papa used to
sit there too, and rock in great arm chair
il was here you used to read fairy tales
in your childhood, folded all SO snug and
warm, and cosy, in its g;eat warm lap
while the wind of winters night was
wbistling without. Your favorite plum
cake was never so sweet as when eaten
there, and the stories you read by the sit
ting-room freside were never SO fascinating
as those read by the chimney corner!
If you were sad, you went there to cry.
If you were merry, you, with your broth
ers and sisters, nestled there to have a
right merry time. Even puss and the house
dog, loved the old chimney corner.
Look back to the old house, where every
room, every nook, is so full of pleasant re-
collection-the family sitting room, where
were so many happy meetings; your own
chamber with its little window, "where the
sun came peeping in at morn;" mothers
room, still sacred with her presence. But,
after all. the brightest memories cluster
round the chimney corner. You long TO be
folded in its faithful bosom again, as you
were in childhood, and have great cry
over all those past happy times.
1t is desolate now. The bright faces
that clustered there of yore will never
come back again. Black and dingy are
the loved walls, and the smoke from the
kitchen fire never makes them warm any
more. But still memory sets up some OF
the honest, and most beaui iful statutes OF
her carving in the old chimney.
