THE PREss.-The crowded state of our columns
last week prevented from noticing the Enlargement
and Encouragement of the columns of the Daily
Press, which in its present enlarged form, and with
its excellent editorial management is certainly the
leading journal OF Maine, and equal to any in New
England; especially when taken into consideration
the amount OF interesting reading matter that is

DAILY PRESS,
A Paper Enlarged 10 the size of the largest
New England Dailies. -

.lf
The enlargement of our daily edition is equivalent
TO the addition of between three and four columns to
its size. This additional space win be devoted to de-
tails OF important events which have heretofore
been obliged to give in brief and selections from
current literature, grave or gay, such as we nave
lately been obliged to omit altogether.
What the character of the paper thus enlarged VIII
be, its past history will show. The PRESS was es-
tablished primarily to represent the Repuohcah par
ty of Maine 1t was impossible for the controiiiis
party of the State to remain volceless IN inns e'y.
The PRESS will continue to defend the prlncies OF

during which aristocracy at the South and democra-
cv at the North grew up side by side, "a period OF

Once two ministers of the gospel we're con

''Well, said the old divine, waxing warm
you are running yourself by writing your ser
mons and reading them off. Your congregation
cannot become interested in your preaching
and if you were called upon to preach unex
pectedy, unless you could get hold of an old
sermon, you would be completely confused"
The young divine used all his eloquence, but
In vain, to convince the old gentleman that the
written sermon expressed his own thoughts and

young minister, suppose you try me nextSab-

old friend with his eloquence.
In the afternoon the young brother. who was
sitting below the pulpit, handed his slip. AT

looked sadly around-tAm I not thine ass?''
Pausing few minutes, he ran his fingers thro
