OF the days last beam Is flown:
IN the night of earth is faded
From the heart once full Of day:

Through the twilight soft and gray

For the summertime is faded.
And the autumn winds have come.
Quickly, reapers gather quickly
The last ripe hours Of my heart.
For the bloom of life is withered,

And their voices far away;

Only waiting to obey.
Only waiting TIL the shadows

Only waiting TIL the glimmer

Holy, deathless stars shall rise,
By whose light my soul shall gladly

marlKabIe Instances of Producing
the Same Idea.
In a late number of All the Year
Round some amusing specimens are Civ
en- of the old diversion of finding poetic
condolences, few of which we do not
remember TO have seen before. Among
these, the following, from the beauty of
of the idea, and the closeness of the diff
ferent methods of producing it, is worthy
of notice:
The flower she trod on dipped and rose,
And turn'd to look at her,
is the graceful manner in which the Lau-
reate tells US that a certain young woman,
bright Olivia, asserts her superiority to
the ordinary laws of matter. The pleas
ing hyperbole will not pass unchallenged,
mine, says he of Abbotsford, 'thO' /
viii confess you have clad my dainty lass
in becoming garb. 1t was l who sang:
Even the slight harebeIl raised its head
Elastic from her airy tread"
But big burly man, with scorbutic Wis
age and slovenly dress, and swearing the
legiblest of any man christened, takes the
trembling idea under his cloak: "Arcades

Yea, in my TIisiOa Of Delight stands it
not fairly writ:
"-thence did Venus learn to lead
Tn italian bands, and so to tread
As if the wind, not she, did walk,
Nor pressed flower, nor bowed stalk!
Almost simultaneously with Ben's claim
comes the silver voice of him who sang
the fall of man and the conflict of the
warrior angels, with Sabrina's song:
Thus l set my printless feet

That bends not as tread.

Jur,-ccing from the large short in

Government sales, an advance in the price
was Inevitable, Ncssrs. Gould and Corbin
determined SO enter into a speculation for

consult with him on the subject, meeting
there most always Mr. CathcrwoOd, and
Gen. BuJcrhulA occasionally. Mr. Cor
hin gave Mr.. Gould orders 10 buy several
distinct lots of gold, besidcstaking Joint

other lots, he directed Mr.. Gould 10 pur-
chase $500, 900 in gold at one time. which

purchase an organ for the church. The
music, both instrumental and vocal, was

Friday, the young ladies busted them
selves in preparing wreaths for the deco
ration. Saturday, aboutnine o'clock, the
old Stars and Stripes were hoisted. and
about ten o'clock the citizens assembled
at the Universalist Church. After the
Post No. 80, G.. A. r., marched from the
hall into the church. II prayer was offered
by the Chaplain, Rev. w. G. Stevens,
after which a brief address was delivered
by comrade w. S. Robinson in behalf of
Post No. SO, G. A. X. j. z. Swasey
Esq. made fitting marshal, and tho long
procession was formed with drum corps
ahead, the Post next. the young iat'ics
bearing wreaths. next the choir, the small
children bearing banners, the citizens,
and last came the wagons, making an in
teresting line. When the procession
reached the graveyard il marched in and
! formed semi-circle. and the choir sung
the opening ode Then prayer was
made by Rev. A. F. Hutchinson. Then
the Post and young ladies marched to
the several graves OF the soldiers and de-
posted n wreath on each soldiers grave,
as the marshal called his name, and gave
regiment, company, cause OF his death,
and where he died.
As they marched back and formed in
semi circle. Otis Hayford called the
| names of those who were buried on the
battle field and other places, that went
from this vicinity, and as each name was
called, a wreath was deposited upon the
monument built for the occasion; then
he put a national wreath over the whole
in honor of all who fought and died I'M
der the Union Flag. Then came a short
address by j. p. Swasey Esq, and the
benediction by Rev %. II. Johnson, closed
the programme.
All was conducted in the greatest har-
mony and good feelings, and each one
went home feeling that honor had been
done to the names eff those whose bones
1 lie smoldering in the dust, for the cause
of liberty.
We would respectfully solicit the atten-
ton of the farmers in this vicinity, to the
advertisements in this paper of o. L. Bos-

BosroS, June Ist.

BOSTON, June Ist.
Mr.. EpIroR Il was glad TO read your
endorsement of the peculiar fitness Of
Hon. Sidney Perham 10 occupy the Gu
bernatorial Chair of the State of Maine.
No better nomination can be made at
your approaching Convention. 1t is the
right time to discuss the principles which
have governed Mr.. Ps whole political and
moral life, and il would be better for the
State if they could be largely Incorporated
into the executive branch Of its govern
ment.
Maine men everywhere are looking with
interest at everything political which is
being said about you. They see that the
next great enemy to be beaten is intern
perance. Like every moral question, it
must receive the support and be under
the administration Of true friends of tenn
pcranee, before the object which they
seek to put down can be kept down.
1t is to be regretted that republicans
are divided upon this subject of temper
perance. But it is believed, with such a
man at the head as | have spoken of,
Maine in its next election, will take the
lead in pronouncing against the greatest
evil of our land, and place executive
approval upon the acts of temperance
men and women everywhere. Any good
cause can be best promoted by whole
souled advocates and the injury which
the cause Of temperance has received has
been more from the inconsistent action of
its workers then any direct assault from
its enemies.
No half. and-half influences should he
allowed in meetings where the initiative
is taken to wage warupon the curse OF in
temperance. He who is not for a good
cause is against it; and those who appear
to be afraid of the introduction ofthe tenn
perance question are largely to be found
among the men who opposed the war,
after it had commenced, for the extirpa-
ton of slavery. Apolitical platform con-
structed without one plank in it, devoted
to the particular interests of temperance
in the use of intoxicating drinks, is, to
say the least, very unpopular, and fur
nishes aid and comfort to liquor dealers,
which, fear temperance men and repub-
licans too little realize.

Hon. John p. Hale, Minister to Spain,
il out in letter in which he denies all the
charges of smuggling made against him
by Perry, Secretary of the Legation ut
Madrid. He says it was necessary for him
to furnish house in Madrid, and as Mr..
Perry knew the customs, he entrusted to
him the duty Of making purchases-about
$1,000 worth of goods for his own use be-
ing admitted to the Minister by Spanish
law free of duty. Mr. Hale writes: MIR.
Perry made every application for the free
admission ofgoods by me under my priv
elege, himself; hisapplications were uni
formly written in the Spanish language,
and every article for which admission was
desired, was particularly described, and
always signed by me when presented to
me by Mr.. Perry, without my even know
ing the contents, such confidence had | in
his honor" Mr.. Hale says that all the
goods imported in his name have been or
dered by Mr.. Perry, he supposed in good
faith for the use of the Legation, while it
turns out that Mr. Perry has been using
Mr.. Hale's name TO import goods free of
dutsy, which were sold to Madrid mer-

"A correspondent of the Lewiston
Journal says that George F. Robinson,
who defended Secretary Seward from the
murderous assault Of Payne, and who re-
Gently received check for $500 from Ne
vada, is not of Bethel, as has been stated.
He was born in North Hartford, and will
be thirty-seven years old next August.
His father removed to Rumford, from
thence to Philips, thence to Patten and
thence to Island Falls, Aroostook. He is
now clerk in the Quartermaster's de-
partment at Washington, at a salary OF
81 200 per year. In Payne's assault up
on Seward Robinson seized Payne and
threw him face on the bed where Seward
was lying. Payne was armed with a
dirk, and struck over the back, wounding
Robinson once in the cheek and twice in
the shoulder. Last summer his wounds,
phich have incapatated him from labor,
had not healed
