FIRE AT WooDFoRD's CoRNER.--A fire broke
out in the store and public hall occupied by
Messrs. Denning & Mason, at Woodford's Cor
ner, Westbrook, about o'clock yesterday
morning. The greater part of the store was
consumed, and a house near by, occupied by
Mr.. LETTERS, considerably injured. The goods
in the lower part of the store were removed,
but a quantity of grain in the upper story was
destroyed. We understand that the store was
insured for $140O and the grain was fully COW
cred. Three sons of Mr. Reed were injured,
one of them quite seriously, while assisting in
staying the progress of the flames. But for the
arrival of two steam fire engines from this city
the loss would have been much greater. The
members of the engine companies were gener-
ously entertained by Mr.. William Mitchell and
other citizens of Westbrook before returning
to the city,

So we heard a great strapping

Office. We did want to give him n
piece of our mind so bad; aud we'll
Just write to him. You want capital,
doyou? And suppose you had what
you call capital, what would you do
with IL? You want capital! Have
you not hands aud feet, and muscle,
and bone, AMI brains, and don't you
call them capital? What more capt.
tai did God give anybody? 20, but
they are not money! say you. But
they are more than money, aud no.
body can take them away from you.
Don't you know how to use them p
Ii you don't it In time yoa were learn
Ing. Take hold Of the plow, or hoe,
or jock plane, or broad AK, and 20 to
work. Your capital will Soon yield
you large interest. Aye, but there's
the rub! You don't want to work
you want money on credit, so you
can play gentleman aud speculate,
and end by playing the vagabond.
Or you want a plantation with
plenty of hirelings upon Ii 10 do the
work, while you run over the coun-
try and dissipate; or you want To
marry some rich girl who may be-
foolish enough to take you for your
good looks, that she may support
you.
Shame on you, young man! Go tn
work with the capital you have, aud
you'll soon make interest enough up
on 10 to give you rs much money m
you want and make you feel like u
man. Ifyou can't make money on
what capital you have, you could not
make 1t Ii you had n million dollars
In money. Ifyou don't know how
To use bone, muscle aud brains, you
would not know how To use gold. If
you let the capital you have lie idle,
and waste and rust out, 1t would be
the same thing with you IL you had
gold; you would only know how to
waste it.
Then don't stand about idle, q great
helpless child waiting for. somebody

Take the first work you can find, no
matter what IL Is, SO that you do 10
well. Yes, whatever you undertake,
do 1t well; always do your best. III
you manage the capital you already

IL Is universally conceded that
there Is no orator In the country who
can draw such vast audiences To list
en- to his omtory ~ John B. Cough.
In Boston, New York, or Chicago,
he can do what no other speaker can
do-he can fill the largest halls for
several nights In succession. Itmnt-
ters not how great n storm may rage
nor how numerous tho other attrac-
tions may he at the same time, ev-
erywlere aud always he fills the au-
dience rooms of the country To over
flowing. He receives the largest pay
of any speaker, Inc Is always eIi-
gagged the farthest ahead, and keeps
!. up the whole year round. This is
his popularity. Now what Is his In
fiuence?
Tn all the land there Ia not to-day
q more powerless orator than this
same John IL. Cough. Whatever
subject he treats of--whethcr OF poll
ties, society, or temperance--it In
all the same. There Is q crowd, un.
bounded applause, and alternate 500
lemnity and laughter. But when
the audience disperses, the impress
ION IL gone. The oratory of Cough
seems to be absolutely powerless- for
good or evil. His hearers gu from
the scene az they leave a theatre,
thrilled and pleased for an evening,
to forget all about II when IL Is over.
Then the hearers wonder that they
have received no impression. They
were curious to know what IL all was
that swayed them so with interchang-
Ing emotions and enthusiasm. Alas.
The explanation OF the whole matter
consists I'm one thing. Mr.. Cough Ia
an actor, mimic-a story teller and
not an orator. His hearers are excl
ted, not Impressed; thrilled by art
full changes and clinaxes. not fed up
ward and onward by logic steady
straightforward and strong. ."--Ei.
