THE CATTLE TRADE OF THE
UNITED STATES.-But few PEG
pie have an intelligent idea of the
cattle trade of United States.-
Some interesting facts andrfgures
on this question were recently
submitted before the Social Science
Association at Albany. 1t was
stated that the consumption OF
beef in France was 100000 tuns;
in England, 100000 tuns, and in
the United States, 1900, 900 tuns.
One of the principal sources of
supply of cattle to the Eastern
States and New York was Texas.
When the war broke out Texas
had only 5000, 900 head of cattle.
There were now 100000 head
rof cattle in that State. The total
supposed value of cattle i'll the
United States was 81, 0O0,0 900, 900,
and the total annual consumption
amounted to 100000 head. In
New York alone there was -S32,-
100000 worth of meat annually
consumed, besides S3,O0O,OOO
pounds of butter valued at 49,
100000; 100000 pounds of
cheese, valued at 100000, and
29,OOO,00O gallons Of milk, valued
at 81 100000; q total of $50, 0O0,-
900. While such enormous con-
sumption was going on with a
regularity of supply which was
marvellous, the,articles of necessi-
tty passed through the hands OF
many trades. 1t was thought,
therefore, that the interests OF
the community imperatively de.
manded some legislation for the
kprotection Of the public.

SNOW.BALLING,

The soft, loose gold of her tresses
Is strayng about her face
And the wind through its silben meshes
Is running trolicksome race.
Her violet eyes--how the darken and flash
Her rose-red cheeks-how they glow
AS she stands ankledeep in the milk-whte DRIFTS,
Pelting me with the snow.
She presses the soft fakes round her,
In her pretty, hoydenish play,
And she looks like sea.nymph rising
Through the pillows of loan and spray.
She mods the balls with her little bare hands
Do you think she would pout or scold
If nestled the pink palms down in my breast
To warm them-they look so cold2
Her white wool mitens are flung on the snow,
Each one In itself flake
And her silkcn scarf beside them lies,
Coiled up like q crimson snake.
All about me the tracks of her soft brown feet
Have prin ed the downy snow
And know by them where another Spring
The prettiest flowers will grow.
She laughs and SCOTS when my snow balls fly
Harmless over her head,
AND she firts her curls in a saucy way,
And crouche5 In mimic dread
She calls mo a sorry marksman--
An awkward fellow-and still
She, sly little witch, knows well enough
1t isn't from lack of skill
Gay, beautiful Madgel Oh what would she do
If my mouth was half SO bold
As the crystals which fall on her lips and her hair,
Like pearls among rubies and gold
Will her pride and her willulness trample my love,
AS her feet have trampled the snowa
That the missiles she fngs that are ice on my face,
Are tire to my heart, does she knoWf
Sweet tease does she guess l am wondering now
Whether she'll ever be,
In the long, long future before US BOTH
An thing more to
Than little hoyden, with wild gold hair,
And red-Tose cheeks in q glow,
Who stands, ankle-dcep in the milk white drifts
Pelting me with the snow

Another Breach Of Promise Trial in
Maine.

The Lewiston Journal in it's Court Report,
under date of the 9th, gives sketch of a
case on trial before the Court in Auburn. II
says
The Court Room was crowded to its utmost
extent at the coming in Of the court in the
morning, in anticipation Of the trial Of the case
of Gould Us. Holland for breach of promise.
The bar was well filled with lawyers, and in
the center, near her counsel. Messrs. Frye and
Cotton of this city and A. Libby of Augusta
sat the pl'ff, quietly dressed lady, about "a
years OF age, by the side OF lady friend, Mrs.
Ring. Mr.. Holland, the deft., sat with his
| counsel Messrs Bcknen & Stetson Of this
city ana Gen. Shepley Of Portland, on the left
side Of the bar. At 10 O'Clock the case was
called and Mr.. Libby proceeded to read the
writ which bore date Of Sept. 18th, 1868, and
set til in the usual verbose style that Michael
Holland jr. of Lewiston promised marriage to
Mrs. Emma Gould, afterwards seduced her,
refused to fulfil the promise of marriage and
had married Mrs. Gillette. The pff there
fore claimed $4,000 damages.
The general issues Of the defense We're lst.
That the def. never promised marriage. 2nd.
That the contract, if there was any contract,
was first broken by the pff. 3D.. That If any
promise was made by the dcft, it was made un-
der wrong idea of the character of the pl'f.
4th. That if promise was made, tie deft.
was relieved from it by the plt having had
sexual intercourse with one Gould, her husband
and from whom shc had been lately divorced,
and lastly, that every material allegation in the
prf's writ was denied.
Mr.. Libby opened for the prosecution. Mrs.
Gould was then called to testify, and affirmed
substantially as alleged in the writ Judge
Redington was then called, and Mr.. Philbrook
Of hotel at Kendalfs Mills.
After the testimony was all out the suit was
compromised and settled.

SPENT AND MIS-SPENI

Stay yet little longer in the sky,
golden color OF the evening sun!
Lei not the sweet day in its sweetness die,
While my days work is only just begun.
Counting the happy chances strown about
Thick as the leaves and saying which was best,
The rosy lights OF morning all went out,
And it was burning noon, and time to rest.
Then leaning low upon piece Of shade,
Frnged round with vioets and pansies sweet,
My heart and /, | said, will be delayed,
And plan work while cools the sultry heat.
Deep in the hills, and out of silence vast,
A waterfall played up his silver tune
Ny plans lost purpose, fell to dreams at last,
And held me late into the afternoon
But when the idle pleasure ceased to please,
And awokc, aud not 4 plan was planned,
Just drowning man, at what he gees
Catches for life, caught the light at hand
And SO life's little work -day hour has all
Been spent, and mis-spent doing what could,
And in regrets and efforts to recall
The chance of having, being, what would.
And sometimes ! cannot choose but cry,
Seeing my ate-sown flowers are hardly set
o darkening color of the evening sky,
Spare me the day little longer yet

ANECDoTE OF GENERAL WASHINGTON
Washington had accepted an invitation from
Arnold to breakfast with him at West Point
on the very day the plot was discovered
but was prevented from keeping his engage
ment by what men called chance-by the
earnest request, namely, of an old officer,
near whose station they passed, to spend the
night there and inspect some works in the
neighborhood. Next day, while Washing
ton, with his staff, including Lafayette, were
seated at table at the officers quarters, a
dispatch was brought to the American gen
eral, which he Immediately opened and
read, then laid it down without comment.
No alteration was visible in his counte-
nance, but he remained perfectly silent.
Conversation dropped among his suite !;
and, after some minutes, the general, beck
oning Lafayette to follow him, passed to an
inner apartment, turned to his friend with
out nttering syllable, placed the fatal de-
spatch IN his hands, and then, giving way
to an ungovernable burst of feeling, fell on
his neck and sobbed aloud. The effect pro-
duced on the young French marquis, accus-
toned to regard his general (cold and dig
niied in his usual manner) as devoid of the
usual weakness of humanity, may be i'm
agiDed. 6 believe, said Lafayette in re-
lating this anecdote, g that this was the on
ly occasion, throughout that long and some
times hopeless struggle, that Washington
ever gave way, even tor moment, under a
reverse of fortune and perhaps | was the
only human being who ever witnessed in
1. -. r
his temperament. AS it was, he recovered
himself before had perused the commune
cation that had given rise to his emotion ;
and when we returned to his staff not a
trace remained on his countenaEce either
of grief or dependency, Lippincotts

Ayers Cherry Pectoral,
For Diseases Of the Throat and Lungs,
such as Coughs, Colds, Whooping
Cough, Bronchitis, Asthma.
and ConSumptiOn,

Cough, Bronchitis, Asthma,
and Consumption.
Probably never before in the whole history OF
medicine, has nything won so widely and so deeply
upon the confidence of mankind, as this excellent
remedy for pulmonary complaints Through a long
series of years, and among most of the races of
men it has risen higher and higher in their estima
ton, as it has become better known Its uniform
character and power to cure the various affections
of the lungs and throat, have made it known a
liable protector against them. While adapted to
milder forms of disease and to young children, it is
at the same time the most efectual remedy that
be given for incpent consumption, and the dan
gerOus affections of the throat and lungs. As pro-
vision against sudden attacks of Group, it should
be kept on hand in every family and indeed as all
are sometimes subject to colds and coughs, all
should be provided with this antidote for them.
Although settled Consumption IS thought in-
durable still great numbers of cases where the dis
ease seemed settled, have been completely cured,
and the patient restored to sound health by the
Cherry PectoraE. SO complete is its mastery
over the disorders of the Lungs and Throat, that
the most obstinate of them yield to it. When moth
ing else could reach them, under the Cherry Pee
toraI they subside and disappear.
Singers and Public Speakers find great pro-
lection from it.
Asthma is always relieved and often wholly
cured by it.
Bronchitis Il generally cured by taking the
Cherry PectcrGl in small and frequent doses.
So generally are it, virtues known that we need
not publish che certificates of them here, do more
than assure the public that its qualities ara fully
maintained.
