Keep Your Eye on Your NeighbOrs.

Take care of them. Do not let them
stir without watching. They may do
something wrong if you do. To be
sure, you never knew them to do any
thing very bad; but it may be on your
account they have not. Perhaps, if it
had not been for you kind care, they
might have disgraced themselves and
their families long time ago. There
fore, do not relax any effort to keep
them where they ought to be; never
mind your own business-that will take
care of itself There is a man passing
along-he is looking overthe fence-bc
suspicious of him; perhaps he contem-
plates stealing, some of these dark
nights; there is no knowing what queer
fancies he may get into his head.
If you find any symptoms of any one
passing out of the path of duty, tell
every one else that you see, and be par
ticular to see a great many.
1t is good way to circulate such
things, though it may not benefit your
self or any one particularly. Do keep
something going-silence is dreadful
thing, though it is said there was silence
in Heaven for the space of half an hour,
do not let any such thing occur on
earth; it would be too much like Heav-
en- for this mundane sphere. If, after
all your watchtul care, you cannot see
anything bad; perhaps, in an unguarded
moment, you lost sight of them-throw
out hints that they are no better than
they should be-that you should not
wonder if people found out what they
were after awhile, tnen they may not
carry their heads SO high. Keep it go
ing, and some one will take the hint and
begin to help You after awhile-then
there will be music, and everything will
work to charm.-[Windham County

Democratic Testimony.

Hon. James T. Brady, distinguish
ed lawyer and politician of Ney York,
in late speech said:
"Much hiss been said, too, about
nstrpation of power; bnt where in his
tory will you find war against REBEL
ion conducted with such moderation ?"
No assertion can be more truthful or
true to history than the above, by an
honest. whole-souled Democrat-one
who refuses the proffers of Office from
all parties, but who is yet true as nee.
die to the pole to his country. How
stratgely does this conduct contrast
with that of the horde of "Democratic
puppies" 1--WE ask pardon of the canine
race) of ignoble breed, who have been
barking and snarling at the heels of the
Federal Government, and of the loyal
men who are earnestly engaged in the
work of rescuing all sections of the
country from the hands of conspirators,
rebels and assassins. ,

THE HOT SEASON.
ny o. W. HOLMES.

Tho folks that on the first of May,
Wore winter coats and hose,
Began to say, the LIST of June,
"Good Lordl how hot IL growsl"
At last two Fahrenheits blew up,
And killed two children small,
And one thermometer shat dead
A tutor with its bali.
Now al day long the locust sings
Among the leafines trees; fa3
Three new hotels warped inside out;
The pumps could only wheeze;
And ripe cid wine. that twenty years
Had cobwebbed Ger in vain, 1
Came spouting through the rotten corks
Like Jolys best Ohampagnel
The Worcester locomotives did
Their trips in half an hour;
The Lowell cars run forty miles
Before they checked their power;
Roll-brimstone soon became drug,
And locofocos fell; 80
All asked for ice; but every where
Saltpetre was TO sell
Plump men of mornings, ordered tights;
But, ere the scorching moons,
Their candle moulds had grown as loose
As Cossack pantaloons
The dogs ran mad--men could not try
lfwater they would choose;
A horse fell dead-he only left
Four red-hot, burning shoes
But soon the people could not bear
The slightest hint Of fire;
Allusions to caloric drew
A flood Of savage ire;
The leaves on heat were all torn out
Feom every book at school,
Amp many blackgua rds kicked and caned
Because they said-'Kee coolp'
The gas-light companies were mobbed
The bakers all were shot;
The penny press began to talk
Oflynching Dr. Mott;
And all about the warehouse steps,
Were hungry men in droves,
Crashing and splintering through the doors
To smash the patent stoves
The abolition men and maids
Were tanned to such hue,
You scarce tell them from their friends,
