Why should we at our lots complain,
Or grieye at our distress?
Some think if they could riches gain
They'd gsin true happiness,
Alas how vain is all their gain
This life will soon decay,
Then whilst were here, with friends so dear
Let's drive dull cares away,
The only circumstance ia life
That ever | could find,
To soften care or temper strife,
Was a cOntented mind
Having that store, we have much more
Than wealth could e'cr convey,
And whilst we're here, with friends so dear,
Wen drive duh cares away.
Why should the rich despise the pOorr
Why should the poor repincs
We all will in a few years more
In equal friendship Join.
We're much to blame, were all the same,
This life is made of clay,
so whilst We're here, with friends so dear,
Let's drive dull cares away.
Let's make the best we can of life,
Nor render il a curse,
But take 1t, as you would a wife,
For better or for worse
Life at the best is but a Jest,
A dreary winters day:
So whilst were here, with friends so dear,
Wen drive dull cares away
Decline Of life, old age comes on,
And we are young no more.
Let's not fcpine at what we've done,
Nor grievc that youth is DER.
But cheerful be, as formerly,
And innOCcnty gay,
And whilst we're here, with friends so dear,
Let's drive dali cares away.

OF Rev. Thomas ]. Halpines lecture be-
fore the Hibernian Society in that city
on Thursday evening, Cd inst. The
Rev. Father Halpine's lecture before the
Hibernian Society, in Burlington CITY
Hall last Thursday evening, drew a
good house and was itself a very able
eloquent and satisfactory production.
1t forcibly pictured some of the more
striking scenes in Irish history, all illus.
trative of the Irish attachment to the
old Catholic faith. In conclusion, Father
Halpine eulogized the bravery Of the
Fenians in their late disastrous attenpts

diers, Corporal William H. Hall, former
ly of johnson, now Of Virginia City,
Montana Territory, and a son of ]. A.
Hall OF Johnson, has, among his other
"diggings," unearthed lump of pure
gold weighing two pounds. He has
been offered much more than its real
value, but intends to bring it home to
delight the eyes of his friends in Yer
mont. We do not recollect to have
heard Of so large a nugget before. He
served his country till the close of the
war without bounty, and we are glad to
hear of his prosperity.

Mr.. BEECHER's SToRY,-We have re-
ceived from Mr.. Bonner an advance
copy Of the Ledger, dated Saturday May
Il, containing the first four chapters of
Mr., Beecher's new novel, entitled "Nor-
wood or Village Life in New England, p"
which opens well, for it begins with
high praise of Vermont scenery We
clip the following from the first chap
ter
The scenery of New England is pic
turesque rather than grand. Scarcely
any other excursion could be planned
which would so well fill summer vaCa-
ton, as one which, winding leisurely up
the Western portions of Connecticut, Of
Massachusetts and Of Vermont. reaches
a climax at St. Adams, on the eastern
shore Of Lake Champlain, a place in the
midst Of greater varietyOf scenic beauty
than any other that l remember in
America. On the east side the, sue
cessive masses of the Green Mountains,
seemingly close at hand on the west is
Lake Champlain, swarming with green
islands, and beyond its waters, west
ward, rise the AdirondaCs, not in chains
or single peaks but in vast broods, a
prOmiscuous multitude of forest-clothed
mountains. On the north is scooped
out in mighty lines the valley of the
st. Lawrence; and, in clear days, the
eye may spy the faint glimmer of Mon
trea.
Waltons Journal says Of this:
We have never assembled the hills east
Of St. Adams, and therefore do not
know that the White Mountains are not
visible from them but we know that
the entire picture is precisely what one
can behold from the top Of Mt. Mans
field. We suspect Mr.. Beecher visited
Mansfield and st. Adams on the same
tour, and has mistaken his point Of
view.
The Brooklyn Union thus notices Mr..
Beechers Ledger story:
Norwood" falls below the Beecher
standard.
Norwood" one think Mr.. Beecher
wrote it.

The Judiciary Committee had a
prolonged session Thursday, but exam
ined no witnesses. There are those who
believe that the President was acquaint-
ed with the assassination plot, while
Others who have taken pains to inform
themselves say there is not the slightest
foundation for the suspicion, except
what is based on the fabricated testimo-
ny Of detectives.
