ii OUSE FURNISHING GOoDs.-We
were at Newport the other day, and
while there were shown the fine store
rooms and stock of Messrs. E. B.
True d Co., extensive dealers in Fur
niture, stoves, hardware, wall paper,
aud all kinds of house furnishing
goods, who have the most extensive
stock to be found in the county; they
occupy three stories and are crowded
for room. They count their paper
hangings by the thousands and their
carpetings in the same manner, while
Of stoves they have an almost endless
supply. Let no one who visits New
port fail to see this enterprising firm
and look them over: it makes them
feel big to Root over their things

DONATION AT LowELL-The peo-
| pie in Lowell had a gathering on
Thursday night, the 18th inst. to re
member their minister, Rev. A. 4.
Smith. In spite of the severe wealth
er the people were out in good num-
berS and gave tokens of their pres
ence, by things varying in kind from
a pair Of very fine boots and quar-
ter Of good beet, to upwards of sixt,
dollars in greenbacks. One or two
OF these things came few DAYS be-
fore, as heavy drops precede the show
er. Ninety dollars would no more
than make good the place Of all the
gifts Of this occasion to the minister.

One little harp string I'll strike true,
Much praised Green Mountain Bows,
Strong and supple, tried and true,

Thou'st fell in battle not a few,

In giving praise thou'lt ne'er be out.
Much praised Green Mountain Boys.
my hills with snow are covered now,
Poet praised Green Mountain Bows.
But they have beauty, beauty now,
Much praised Green Mountain Bows.
Hills that are most grand to sight.
Poet praised Green Mountain Bows.
Extend to left, extend to right.
Much praised Green Mountain Rows
Covered they are with crystal frost

And silence broken but by hunters gun.
Much praised Green Mountain Bows
Seeing thus that can say naught,
Poet praised Green Mountain Bows.
Naught can think but a holy thought

take in wind. He should not take too
much comfort without stopping to en-

soft, very melliffiuent and stately
What can excel the musical rythm and
sweet cadence of the following which
occurs in the last verse but one -
" Teaches second your country. first
God above" How like the sound Of
distant waterfalls! 1t inspires one
with such an awe that he feels aag-fnl
