MRs. BETSY P. EASTMAN, OF Salisbury,
New Hampshire, died in that town few
days ago, IN her one hundred and fifth year.
She was supposed to be the oldest person in
the State. An incident connected with her
life is worthy of mention Soon after the
execution Of Mrs Surratt in Washington, n
person accidentally mentioned that TACT in
Mrs. Eastmans presence, when she imme-
diaiely exclaimed, with solemn emphasis,
81 was the means OF woman being hung
onee.n She referred to the execution OF
Ruth Blay, which occurred at Portsmouth,
N. H., December 30, 1868. 1t appears that
tins woman was the school teacher of Mrs.
Eastman when the latter was about six years
of age. One day, through illness, Ruth Blay
was absent and the children were all at
play Mrs Eastman said she found a loose
board in the school room floor, and got un-
dernealh the building, where she discovered
bundle wrapped in white cloth, in which
there was dead infant. The corpse proved
TO be the child Of her teacher, who was ar
rested for murder, convicted and hung. A
reprieve came for her on the day of her exc
cutiOn, but Sheriff Packer wanted warm
dinner, and swung her off II few moments
before the appointed time. Circumstances
aItcrward seemed to prove that Ruth Blay's
child was stll-born, and that she was not a
murderess

81. NJ ASHLEY"
Was there ever more disgraceful ex
hibit than this of the use of official po-
si.ion for private ends? The Surveyor
ship Of Colorado, "the best Office in the
gift of the President" was by Ashley
made matter of bargain and sale, stip-
ulated in writing. Its legimate patron
age was farmed cut insedvsace as the
price Of obtaining it, and arrangement
was. entered into by which the chief So
licitor and the recipient were so corrupt
ly use its power in city and town lot
speculations, 81, said Mr.. Ashley, "will
probably be Chairman of the Committee
on Territories, and then | will know IN
qdUance all the proposed expenditures
in the territories and post you. Write
one letter for me, and the other to showi"
And Mr.. Ashley was made Chairman of
the Committee on Territories in the, last
as he is in the present Congress;Case was
appointed Surveyor General of Colorado;
"my brother Eli was made chief clerk,
and my brother William" was given a
snug berth; the programme was carried
out in all its details; and now it would be
interesting to koow how much plunder
the Immaculate Representative Ashley
has pocketed from the corrupt and scan
dalous use Of the power of his official
position. With these facts before them
the people will very naturally conclude
that however censurable the President
may be, it is not for such men as Mr..
Representative Ashley to frame his in.
dictment, or for such men as Simon Came
ron to sit in judgement upon him.

Occupation.


Occupationl What glorious thing
lit is for the human heart. Those who
work hard seldom yield themselves up to
fancied or real sorrow. When grief sitt
down, folds its hands and mournfully
feeds upon its own tears, weaving the
dim shadow that little exertion might
sweep away into funeral pail, the strong
spirit is shorn of. its might, and sorrow
becomes our master. Whom troubles
flow upon you, dark and .leevy, toll on
with the Frestle not with the tor.
rent-rather seek by occupation to di.
vert the dark waters that threaten to
overwbelm you in thousand channels
which the duties of life present. Before
you dream of it these waters will fertal-
ize the present, and give birth to fresh
flowers, that they may brighten the fu
ture-fowers that will become pure and
holy in the sunshine that penetrates tc
the path of duty. Grief, after ali, is but
a selfish feeling; and most selfish is be
who yields himself to the indulgence o.
any passion that brings no joy to ii:
fellow man.
