'ence upon wealth for a happy home
leaves the whole difficulty untouched
Few have riches, but all must have a
home, and the real blessings Of domes1
tic life flow from far deeper sources
than the amount Of money expended
Ion its externals. The reform that Is
needed is to raise the aim Of the house
hold. The primary uses of the home
are for food and shelter, for the ply
steal well-being OF the family. But
when these are the sole ends, and not
simply the means by which to attain q
higher life, the whole family Is de-
based, and whether 1t revelin luxury
or struggle in poverty, it is alike used
for inferior purposes. Modern civili7
zation elevates the physical nature,
ministers to the senses, employs every
energy to bring delicate and refined
pleasures to the eye, the ear and the
palate. 10 accomplish this. she calls
wealth to her aid, and together they
form an aristocracy which the mass Of
mankind are struggling to enter. But
they are content to busy them
selves with the lowest part Of
human nature; they do not as
cend into higher realms. To the
mental and moral culture Of the
family, then, let the household be
dedicated, and domestic life will wear
q far nobler aspect, and diffuse a hap
piness as yet unknown and unappre-
ciated. If wealth come OF 60, 1t can
only affect that part Of us which we
shall feel to be subservient; 1t cannot
touch our best privileges or interfere
with our highest happiness. In our
own country especially do we have
peculiar incentives to this course.
Here every child has the means OF
education within his reach, and poverty
is no barrier to the development OF
talent. The rarest genius, the bravest
courage and the truest heroism often
co-exist with the hardest labor and the
~severest privations. In the culture OF
youth, too great pains cannot be taken
to instil correct views as to the true
ends of domestic life. 1t Is not sur
prising that the young men of the
present day, seeing the extravagant
style of living, and knowing no higher
him than to vie with 1t, should hesitate
to enter upon a married life that is to-
Involve them in anxieties so great
But when they see the happiness that
springs from a well-ordered home
where love is the handspring, and
mutual improvement and elevation the
great ends Of life d; where the principles
of truth and honor command the
respect that is now paid to wealth and
station, they will no longer be deferred
by false pride from entering upon a
life so rich in its possibilities.

In all that is written about road making and
repairing. see no suggestion for drain four
or five feet deep, by two feet in width, allied
up to near the surface with stones, or poles,
and boughs, with foot of earth on top,)
made in the centre, with proper outlets, (of
which, but few are needcd,) and for the en-
tire length of the pieces of road usually found
wet and miry for some weeks following the
melting of the snow and ice in the Spring, and
after heavy rains. Such drain has effect
ually cured wet and muddy door yards and
farm roads, and l have yet to learn why ii
may not be entirely successful with our
travelled highway, thus afflicted. This kind
of drain leaves the road bed dry as low as the
bottom of the drain, at the fir, ezing up of the
ground in the fall, and promptly disposes of
the melting SHOWS and heavy rains Of the
Spring, and at other times. Gravelling wet
pieces of road not thus drained. is wholly in
effectual for securing good, dry. hard sur
face for travel. Grove street in this city from
State to near the east end of Green, could
thus be cheaply made as hard and dry a road
at all times there is in Augusta, while for
at least two months out of each twelve, for
the past ten years. in spring and fall, to my
certain knowledge it is so miry to render
ii difficult for horses to drag carriages through
it. Both ends of the drain could be vented
near the centre, into the brook that is bridged
over between the points named Western Az
enue, from near the dwelling house Of Hon.
j. L. Stevens, to State street, could be made
equally good by such a drain vented into the
sewer of the Augusta House. II.

are growing up to habits of idlcness and dis
sipation. This may be true, to lamentable
extent. But sis there not a cause?" and is
that cause always to be found in an aversion
to work? This inquiry is suggested by fact
that came to our know ledge some days since.
A young man of good capacities and virtuous
habits, about Is years ofage, came to this city
from one of our country towns, early last
week, to see if he could find chance to learn
a trade, or obtain some situation where by a
faithful application to its duties, he might ac-
quire the means of support, and qualify him
chinists, carpenters, blacksmiths, cabinet
makers, cordwainers, harness makers, bakers,
printers, ron-founders, tin plate workers,
/ hardware and dry-goods, grocers, and, in
deed, everywhere he could think Of to obtain
an opportunity to learn some honest trade,
or other useful calling, but in all cases, and
every where, he was answered with the
prompt and discouraging word, NO! Not
willing to give it up so, after exhausting Au-
gusta he went to the industrious and enter
every mechanic shop, and store in the place
that could be supposed to offer him an oppor
tunity for success; but there as in this city,
the terrible mo" met him in every case.
After spending whole week in his fruitless
endeavors to obtain chance to learn some
respectable trade, he took to his feet in the mud
and travelled all the way in his lonesome
journey to his home He was orphanized in
early childhood; but not willing to depend
longer upon distant relatives, he started on
worthy purpose, which proved a discouraging
failure. Now what wish to say, in this state
of things is this if our young men cannot
meet with sympathy and aid in obtaining
chances to qualify themselves for place of
usefulness and honor in the world, we need
not marvel very much that we have so many
youth who are forming habits of idleness and
dissipation--on the downward road to ruin.

THE ERESHET

AT Lawrence. Mass, the water was very
high The upper bridge is damaged so
that it will have to be rebuilt The rail-
road bridge is. also damaged
At Hayerhill it was the greatest flood
since 1852
AT Concord the water was very high and
travel was stopped on some Of the rail
roads in consequence.
The freshet in the Blackwater river was
the highest on record, being three feet or
more higher than the October freshet and
few inches above the famous overflow OF
1926
The dam at Scythevile, in New London,
was swept away. In West Salisbury the
lumber mill on the Stephen Pingree estate
was destroyed, and the highway in the Vi
cinity for the distance Of three-quarters of
mile was completely torn up. Bullock
& Son, lumber dealers in Webster, were
damaged to the amount of $1,000 The
long bridge, which was carried away on
the Northern Railroad, was also on this
river
The Contoocook river was higher than for
many years, and there was great alarm for a
time at Baskerville. The river ran over the
planks of the bridge in the village, and the
foundations of several buildings were dam
aged. large amount of logs belonging to
John Whitaker, near Baskerville, were car
red over his dam and scattered in all direc-
tons.
The bridge over the Suncook river in Ep-
som and several bridges in Deerfield have
been carried away.
At Claremont the freshet in the Sugar river
was the highest known for many years. The
back wall of the mill of the Claremont Manu-
featuring Company fell into the river, and the
damage to that corporation is about $1,000.
One of the bridges at Claremont was carried
away.
The injury done by the food in many places
in the interior is greater than the destruction
of last October, and the damage throughout
New Hampshire may be expected to reach
the sum of half a million dollars.
AT the latest accounts the waters were sub
siding, and the trains were beginning to run
again. 1t is said the river was higher at some
points than since 1880.
