MAINE is following the recent New Eng
land fashion Of cultivsting its fisheries in
all the rivers of the State, and bills are be-
fore the Legislature providing for the pro-
pagation and protection Of the scaly people
in the AndrOscoggin, the Kennebec, the
Penobscot, the 81. Croix and other stTeams.
Regulations have been made for supplying
the spawn of slewives, shad and salmon in
tidal waters, and for nursing and shelter
ing perches. trout and other fresh water
fishes IN the upper streams. A greedy
and savage destruction of those creatures
Of the forests and rivers is. by no means
consistent with growing population and

Twelfth To contend that because the dir
test children in the street, or highway, are
hearty and healthy, therefore it is healthy to
be dirty; forgetting that continuous daily cx-
posurc to the pure out door air in joyous I'M
restrained activities is such powerful agency
for health that those who live thus are well,
in spite OF rags and filth
Thirtccnth-To presume to repeat later in
life without injury, the indiscretions, exposure
and incompetence which in the flush Of youth
were practiccd with impuniiy
Fourtccuth--To believe that warm air is
necessarily impure, or that pure, cold air
is necessarily more healthy than the con-
fined air of crowded vchiclc the latter at
most can only cause iaintng and nausea,
while entering conveyance alter walking
briskly, lowering a window thus while still
exposed TO a draft, will give cold iniallibly,
or an attack Of pleurisy or pneumonia, which
will cause weeks aud months of suffering, il
not actual death within four days
Fiitecnth-To remember the Sabbath
day" by working harder aud later on Satur-
day than any other day in the week, with a
view of sleeping late next morning and stay
ing at home all day to rest, conscience being
quoted by the plea Of not feeling very we'll.

" Married ut hast " they shy,
And they laugh at the ollish bride,
And pity The handsome. stately MAN,
In his liic's md summer pride
There are grey threads in her hair,
And IL wrinkle ON her brow,
But the happy smile that her childhood wore
Is rs bright and joyous now.
" Married Mt lastl" Al. yes
She has waited long long time,
For this sime dark man, with his winning eyes,
Wooed her in her grlhood' prime:
But gray-hared mother and sire
Were dependent ON her love
~ She turned from him and his costly home.
With her faith in Heaven above.
And the years passed one 10y one
Till they counted up fourteen;
And then be came for his promised bride.
For no life was now between;

In the churchyard near the shore,
And thoir latest words we've blessing breathe
On their sweet child ltpnpre
" That is one old maid the less,
You say NJ you toss your curls

For the same sweet soul looks out ut him
Through the eyes Of his new-nade wife.

Fifteen FOllies.

First-To think the more a man eats, the
fatter and stronger he will become.
Second--To believe the more hours chill
dren study at school the faster they learn.
Third-To conclude that if exercise is
good for the health, the more violent or ex-
hausting il is, the more good is done.
Fourth--To imagine that every hour taken
from sleep is an hour gained.
Fiith-To act on the presumption that the
smallest room in the house is large enough
TO sleep in.
Sixth-To argue that whatever remedy
causes one to feel Immediately better, Is
good for" the system, without regard to
more Interior effects. The " soothing syrup
for example, does stop the cough of children,
does arrest diarrhg, only to cause little
later alarming commissions, or the more fatal
inflammation or water on the brain or, at least,
always protect the disease.
Seyenth-To commit an act which is felt
in itself to be prejudicial, hoping that some
how or other it may be done in your ease
with IMMUNITY.
Eighth--To advise another TO take remedy
which you have tried on yourself, or without
making special inquiry whether all the con.
ditions are alike.
Ninth-To eat without an appetite, or to
continue to eat after il has been satisfied,
merely TO crafty the taste.
Tenth--To eat hearty supper for the
pleasure experienced during the brief time il
Is passing down the throat, at the expense Of
whole night Of disturbed sleep, and weary
waking in the morning.

Mrs. Stephen A. Douglas.

On Sunday | was walking in the neighbor-
hood of General Grants house when saw
Mrs Major Williams, late Mrs. Stephen A.
Douglas, exchange greetings with General
Grant, accompanied by her husband The
house that MIR, Douglas presented to his wife
before her marriage stood upon a high hill,
close by General Grants subsequent and pres
ent residence, and in the grading of the streets
thereabout this house with its extensive wall
ed garden and lawn was left suspended in the
air, so that il is now one of the most imposing
dwellings in the city and is named, appropri-
ately, Douglas Place. Major Williams, since
his marriage to the widow Douglas, has near
ly doubled the size of this house, raised a
French roof upon it, and capped its fight Of
stone stairs with pair of colossal carved
lions. The terraces around the house are
planted with shrubs and box bush, and innu-
merable trees contribute to give the place the
air Of u venerable patrimony. Within the
mansion two fine children count the march of
time, neither of them heirs Of Mr.. Douglas,
whose little contribution shares his sleep
The exquisite peacefulness and privacy of
Mrs. Williams life show the difference be-
tween what are called les marriages dc Societe,
and what we name, familiarity, loye-matches
In the time of her first husband no party was
complete without her. Her picture was pur-
chasable at every print-shop, and we beheld
her in Washington every day. Now, welded
to private gentleman and soldier, of years
not uncongenial to her own, she is the orna-
ment Of a beautiful home, and her children
are her kingdom. She is still pious at church,
and fond of riding out, but her Journeys are
commonly made out of town aud not within
il. | felt in her proximity to the home of
Mrs. Grant how mutable and yet how mer-
eiiul are the dispensations of Providence.
Eight years ago Mrs. Douglas might have
been the mistress of the White House Now
she is good mans happy wife.

TROUBLESOME CHILDREN.

When YOU get tired Of their noise, Just
think what the change would be should it
come to total silence. Nature makes pro.
vision for Strengthening the chiIdren's lungs
by exercise. Babies cannot laugh so as to get
much exercise in this way, but we never heard
of one that could not cry. Crying, shouting,
screaming, are natures exercise, aud ifyou do
not wish for it in the parlor pray have a place
devoted to it; and do not debar the girls from
it, with the notion that it is improper for
them to laugh, jump, cry, scream and run
races in the open air. After while one gets
used to this Juvenile music, and can even
write and think more consecutively with it
than without it, provided it does not run into
obiuratory forms. We remember a boy that
used to 90 to school past our study window,
and he generally made continuous stream
of roar off to the school-house and back again.
We supposed at first he had been nearly muir
dered by some one, and wasted considerable
compassion on the wrongs of infant innocence (;
but, on inquiring into the case, found him in
perfectly good condition. The truth was that
the poor little fellow had no mirthfuiness in
his composition, therefore couldn't laugh and
shout and so nature in her wise compensa-
tions had given him more largely the faculty
of roaring He seemed to thrive upon it, and
we believe is still doing we'll Laughing and
hallooing, however, are to be preferred, unless
child shows a decided incapaeity for those ex
ercises.
Our eye alights, just now, upon the follow
ing touching little scrap, written by an Eng
fish laborer whose child had been killed by
the falling of beam;
"Swcot laughing child the cottage door
Stands free and open now,
/ But, oh It's sunshine gilds no
The gladness Of thy brow
The merry step hath passed away,
Thy laughing sport Is hushed Tor aye
Thy mother by the nresldo sits
Aud listens for thy call
And sluwly-slowly as she knits,
Her quiet tcars down fall
Her hthe hinderfng thing Is gone,
And undisturhod she may work on"
