A SUGGESTION. - The brilliant Bateman
Concert Company viii, on Thursday of this
week, commence series of entertainments in
Boston. Mile Parepa and Mr.. Levy are, of
course, the chief stars of the troupe; and Herr
Carl Rosa continues in his place as violinist
As Mile Parepa is to leave for Europe in Jan
uary, this is probably the last visit which she
will make to New England; and we would
suggest to the music-loving people of Portland
that 1t would be worth strong effort to Sc
cure her for at least one night here. The de-
sire to hear this matchless singer is universal !;
and we think the bare announcement that she
was to sing at our City Hall would suffice to
crowd the house. Will not somebody take

"OUT OF THE FRYING PAN INTO THE
FIRE.-Our contemporary of the argus, in
his issue of yesterday shows how difficult it is
sometimes, to correct typographical error
He says /:
Typographical errors are annoying enough
at any time; but they are especially so in quo
tations from the Scriptures. In our account
of Thanksgiving day services in Free Street
Church, we were made to say by the types,
that the place where ST. Paul met his brethren
was Apple forum, when it ought to have
been "Appii Farum and the three Taverns."
1t was at this place that "he thanked God and
took courage"
In the correction he has got little nearer to
the name, but it is not quite correct. Appii
for''m is is the place where Paul said he
thanked God and took courage" A more
careful perusal of the Sacred Word is recon-
mended to the editor of the Argus.

General Carey at CITY Hall.

The next lecture in the "Good Templars
Course" is to be delivered by Gen. S. F. Carey
of Ohio. The Committee were exceedingly
fortunate when they secured the services of
this eminent orator. There is probably not a
man in this country more gifted in the logic
and convincing advocacy of the cause, or a
more jealous lover and consistent worker for
the cause than Gen. Carey, and in his hands
the subject will receive a calm, uapreiu-
diced but thorough investigation. His brilliant
oratorical powers will interest the most passive.
and his lecture cannot fail of placing the sub
iect of Temperance more prominently before
the citizens of Portland. Let those who have
always supposed John b. Cough to be the
champion upon the temperance rostrum go
and hear Gen. Carey on THURSDAY EVENING
NEXT. tan
The course will consist of seven more lect-
ures, the tickets for which are only one dol
lar. Every friend of temperance should buy
at least one ticket, and should he have any
friends who are in the too frequent habit of
clipping the elbow" place free ticket in their
hands; great good can be done in this way.
All the lecturers advertised in the course are
men Of more than ordinary ability, and it
would be disgrace to our city, and reproach
upon The temperance sentiment, to allow any
of these gentlemen to speak to anything less
than full house. Shaw's Quartette will be
in attendance each evening to furnish vocal
music, Evening tickets are for sale only at
the door.

Too Good 10 be Lost.

The following lines were found written on
the back Uf hYe hundred dollar Confederate
noie {:
Representing nothing on Gods earth now,
Aud naus ht in the wafer below it
As the pledge Of nation that is dead and gone;
Keep 1t, dear friend, aud show it
Show il to those who will lend an ear
To the tale that this paper can tell,-
OF Liberty born Of the patriots cream,
or the storm-cradled nation that fell.
Too poor 10 possess the precious ores,
And too much Of stranger to borrow,
We issued to-day our promise TO pay,
And hoped 10 redeem on the morrow.
The days rolled on and weeks became years,
But our Golfers were empty still,
Coin rare that the treasury quaked
If a dollar should drop in the till.
But the faith that was in US was strong indeed,
And our poverty well We disccrued
And those little checks represented The pay
That our suffering volunteers earned.
We knew it had hardly a value in gold,
Yet as gold our soldiers received it;
1t gazed in our eyes with promise 10 pay,
Aud each patriot soldier believed it.
But our boys thought little Of price or pay,
Or of bills that were over due,
We knew if it bought US our bread to-day,
1t was the best our poor country could do.
Keep it, it tells our history all over,
From The birth Of its dream 10 the last;
Modest and born of the angel hope,
Like the hope of success it passed.

A Maiden's First Love.

Human nature has no essence more
oure-lhe world knows nothing more
chasle-heaven has endowed the moral
heart with no feeling more holy than ,be
nascenl affection of young Virgins soul.
The warmest language Of the sunny
Soulh is 10 cold 10 shadow forth even
faint outline o! that enthusiastic senii-
ment. And God has made the Irichest
language poor in that same respect, be-
cause The depths OF hearts that thrill with
Loves emotions, are TO sacred Tor the
common contemplation. The musical
voice OF Love slirs the source OF the
sweetest thought within the human breast,
and steals into the most profound recess
ses of the soul, touching chords which
never yibrated before, and calling mo
gentle companionship delicious hopes NIL
then unknown.
Yes.-lhe light of young maiden's
first love breaks dimly bu, beautifully
upon her as The silver lusue Of q star
gimmering through ihickly woven
bower; and the first blush that msnlles
her cheeks she feels The primal ihiiu-
pnce, is iain, and pure as that which a

how rapidly does Iba, light grow sIon-

A Surprise to a Wood Thief.

A gentleman living in Terre Haure, In
diana, whose stove wood melted away
faster than was warranted by the mildness
of the weather, charged fine looking
stick with a few ounces Of powder and
left it on The pile. The Express thus re-
lales the sequel:
"Wednesday forenoon an explosion
was heard in house near by, and kit
chen window was spared no panes. On
going TO the spot a sigh, might have been
seen! The stove had joined peace
conference. keile of pork and cabbage
had sho, up through lhe roof like an ar.
row. A dish of apples s,ewing on the
stove gave The ceiling the appearance Of 8
map Of California. A cat that was sleep
lug under the slove went through lhe lro-
ken windows as though after devil or q
doctor. The cs, has not been heard from
since. but a smell Of burnt cal hair per
vsdesl lha, house very thoroughly. A
fat.iron was boisied into pan Of dough,
a chair lost three legs. The wood looks
sick, while the roof of the house looks
like burs,ed apple dumpling"
