The WooDs OF MAISE.-It is a coun-
try full of evergreen trees, of messy silver
birches and watery naples, the ground
dotted with insipid, small, red berries,
and strewn with damp and moss grown
rocks-a country diversified with innu-
merable lakes and rapid streams. peopled
with trout and various species of keucisci,
with salmon, shad, pickerel and other
fishes; the forest resounds at rare inter-
walls with the note of the chickadee, the
bluc-jay, and the woodpecker, the scream
of the fsh-hawk and the eagle, the laugh
of the loon. and the whistle of ducks
along the solitary streams: at night, with
the hooting of owls and howling of
wolves; in Summer, swarming with my
riads of black flies and mosquitoes, more
formidable than wolves to the white man.
Such is the home of the moose, the Carl
boo, the wolf, the beaver, the Indian.
Who shall describe the inexpressible ten
derness and immortal life Of the grim
forest, where Nature, though it be mid
Winter, is ever in her Spring, where the
moss-grown and decaying trees are not
old, but seem to enjoy perpetual youth; !;
and blissful innocent Nature, like a Sc
rene infant, is too happy to make noise,
except by few tinkling, isping birds
trickling rills!

LoAFISG.-Don't be loafer, don't call
yourself loafer, don't keep loafer's
company, don't hang about loahng places.
Better work for nothing, and board your
self, than sit around day after day, or
stand at corners with your hands in your
pockets. Better for your mind, better for
your prospects. Bustle about, if you
mean to have anything to hustle about
for. Many poor physician has obtained
real patient by riding hard to attend an
imaginary one. A quire of blank paper,
tied up with red tape, carried under a
lawyers arm may procure him his first
case and make his fortune. Such is the
world-to him that hath shall be given.
Quit droning and complaining. Keep
busy, and mind your chances. ots i

An expedition which left Norfolk on the Sd

and tine S5th New York regiment, commanded
by Lieut.. Col. VIM. Clark, for the purpose, of
breaking up contraband trade between resi-
dents of Norfolk and rebel agents on Roanoke
Island, has met with encouraging success
Col. Clark, with q portion of his regiment,
marched for several miles into the interior of
Hartford and Bertic counties, surprising at
one time company OF rebel soldiers guard
ing lot Of goods in transit for the rebel ar
my, and capturing and destroying large
camp in which were found large quantities of
commissary stores and all kinds of ammuni-
ton destined for the use of guerrillas, who
constantly infest this section. The whole
force returned in safety TO Roanoke Island.
The Charleston Mercury OF the 9th inst.
says: During the progress Of the exchange
of prisoners now going on in this harbor, and
which will probably last two weeks or therea-
bouts, the bombardment of the city By the en-
envy is to be suspended. Under this arrange
ment there was no Smelling yesterday. We
understand the truce was 10 apply to the vari-
Gus hostile batteries in the harbor, but by
some mistake, the cause of which we have not
learned, the terms Of the truce were not fully
known at Fort Sumter, and one of our sharp
shooters at that place shot and killed Yam
kee who showed himself at Battery Gregg,
whereupon several of the enemy's batteries
opened fire on Sumter. Finally, however. by
the activity OF Capt. Hatch, the enemy was
appraised by flag of truce OF the nature OF
the mistake, and an apology rendered for the
unintentional violation of the truce. The bar-
Dor then assumed Its former quiet aspect.
