Twenty-Five million bushels of salt were
produced in the United States last year. The
amount imported was about eight and half
millions of bushels. The price of salt was
about sixteen cents per bushel more in 1869
than in 1861, and this difference was due to
the tariff. Sixteen cents bushel on 80, $780,
900 bushels, our total consumption, gives us
something over S. 200, 900.

destined for extended use. 1t is solid iron

the ends of each rail are slipped and there
firmly held. 1t entirely does away with the

THE FIFTEENTH AMENDMENT.

The Washington correspondent OF the
Baltimore Sun says the President had in
tended to issue on Saturday a proclarna-
ton announcing the ratification OF the
fifteenth amendment, but there has been
some delay in receiving the official notice
from Nebraska, and the failure to admit
Mississippi to representation in both hous-
es until late on Friday has postponed it
till this week As soon as this proclama-
ton is made it is the intention to press in
the House bill to enforce the provisions
of universal suffrage, so that it may oper-
ate at the Connecticut election. Mary
land Republicans have also asked MEM
beers of the Judiciary Committee to hasten
action on this bill on the plea that the
Maryland Legislature will pass no .appro-
pirate legislation to carry out in that State

1t will be observed that the highest value of
greenbacks in 1866 was attained in March,
lust after the final victories of the Union ar
mics, and in panic of the spectators in gold
and stocks; and that their lowest apparent
value in 1869 was a merely nominal quota
ton, made upon the famous "Black Friday"
in September, by SPECTATORS ''corner."

It was in this year, 1860, that the victory Of
the Union armies put an end to the violent
fluctuations in the national credit, which had
accompanied the varying fortunes of the war
Since that time, the amount OF the currency,
and the political agitation for postponement
of resumption, aided occasionally by little
speculative excitement, have been the inf1u-
enccs which have depressed the value of the
currency. But the fluctuations have been
within narrower limits, and our table may be
limited to the annual extremes Of the market

briefly explain the map, and give some rea-
sons for my conclusions.
In all applications for division, the relative
rights of the town and its individual members,
stand in the foreground The land of the
most humble citizen cannot be taken from
him unless the public exigencies require
it. Towns also have certain rights in equity,
among them, the right to retain its unity
unless private exigencies require division.
And the vested rights of town should not be
disturbed, except the petitioners show griev-
ances existing which cannot be otherwise re-
lieved.
A majority of the committee are of opinion
that the petitioners for the division of West
brook, have not proved any substantial griev-
ance, while on the other hand the town has
shown that no grievances exist which the Pc
titioners cannot remove by their own act.
Not all the residents within the asked for
town desire division. There was a remon-
STRANGE signed by some 700 citizens of West
brook, presented in the House, that was spir-
tied away, and not seen by the committee
Their locality is unknown, but there is un-
disputed proof that of the IS voters of Stroud
water, only 10 could be induced to sign the
petition. 1t was shown that every man was
importuned. Every argument used every
incentive presented which ingenuity and per-
sistence could devise and carry out.
If we listen to the opportunities of the NAL
contents, common justice requires us to heed
the wishes of those who desire to let well
enough alone. The town has been free from
sectional quarrels heretofore. Why create
one by legislative action?
The testimony shows that Westbrook is a
small sized but well shaped town; not dotted
all over with farm houses, but the people are
gathered into villages, each and every one of
them entirely independent of the other, while
the business and travel Of all center in Port
land. Division will not change the current
of trade or travel, neither will it enlarge So
cial OF educational opportunities. The church.

MY LOVERS.


BY SARAH EDWARDS HEEsHAw.
The following beautiful poetry is from
LIPPINCOTT's MAGAZINE for June:
In the early golden morning.
Waking at the break of day,
While my little, youngest darling
Close beside me nesting lay,
Fearing to disturb his sleeping
Fearing happy dreams to break
Lay there and softly watched him,
Ere from slumber he should wake.
One small hand his cheek supported,
One was thrown across my breast;
Soft and gentle was his breathing,
AS zephyr sunk to rest.
On the cheek, fair, StLken laShes,
On the lid, a smile of light
Azure veins fOndly noted.
Noble brow, and tresses bright.
AS 1 looked he sudden opened
Eyes that instant sought my own
Eyes that filled with tender lOVe-Hght,
While he spoke in cooling tone.
Father made good select,
When," said he, "a he s'lected you;
For" he added with deep ferVOr,
You are good and pretty, too"
Little heart, so fond and faithful!
other lovers, where are they,
Who would think it naught, that beauty
Time is stealing fast away p
Naught the eyes despoiled by brightneSs2
Naught the cheek less round and fair?
Naught the fOOtStep robbed of lightnesS?
Naught Times powder on the hair?
Oh, my little precious. darling!
Oh, my little lover true!
Always finding in his mother
What is best and faireSt too!
Caught him with smiles and kisses,
ClaSped him with spr1nging tears,
Thanking God for such affection
To enrich my future years.
Answer me, true-heart ed mothers?
MANY such, thank God! there be }
In your faireSt, rosiest girIhOOd
FOnder lovers did you see?
Gave they deeper admiration
ChOicer, tenderer, or more sweet
Than you now have from your children,
Than your sons lay at your feet?
For such lovers God hath given me,
And l owe him fourfOld praise!
TRANQUILITY, thus lOVe-environed,
On the future can gaze
On the future, when life'S taper
Shall be fiickering dim and low,
When the autumn tintS have faded
Into waters cold and snow.
All, my sisters! all, my sisters
Little know ye what ye do;
Who refuse the joy and beauty
OF "a love so pure and true!
To whose strange, perverted vision
ChildleSS WifehOOd seemeth good
Who deSpise that crown of sweetness
Noble crown of Motherhood!

Recreation Necessary.
WeIaborand labor. but tbere is

We labOrand labor, but there is just
as much nGnREity for recreation as
for labor. We cannot live without it ;
not even the laboring man.
=. Exercise is all we'll enough but it
must be the right kind. The mind as
we'll as the body wants exercise. But
it wants something else, as well as the
body; it wants change; it wants to
get into new channel, get new life
infused into it. Thus it will rest the
limbs to labor, with the inactive man.
1t will rest and strengthen the mind.
We should lay out our plans for re-
creations as well as for work. There,
never was a truer saying than that "'alf
work and 10 play makes Jack a dull
boy"
Dyspepsia settles upon the people.
If they stir about and act, mentally
and physically, there is no chance tor
it to do this. So lie blUcsnnui, and
tedium may be dIssipated i'll this way.
They are but the same general
thing, bred by doing nothing, or 20
ing only one thing.
We must get out of the one rut, if
we have been in that alone, and taste
the variety of life. Man was made
for it, it is the habit from time i'm
memorial, and cannot be dispensed
with. With it comes health and en-
jOyment.

Irritable lnYalidS.

Indigestion not only effects the physical
health, bat the dispositions and tempers Of its
victims. The dyspeptic becomes, too, in a
measure demoralized by his sutferings. He is
subject to fits of irritation. sullenness, or de-
spair, as the case may be. A pIeternatural sen.
sitiveness which he cannot control, leads him
to inisconstrue the words and acts of those
nearest aud dearest TO him is not unfrequently
marked by exhibitions Of testiness foreign to
his real nature. These are the mental phenom-
ena of the disease, for which the invalid cannot
be justly held responsible, but they occasion
much household discomfort. 1t is to the inter
est of the home circle, it is essential to family
harmony as well as to the rescue of the princi-
pal sufferer from a state not far removed from
incipient insanity, that these symptoms of men.
tai disturbance be promptly removed. This
can only be done by removing their physical
cause, q arrangement of the functions of tho
stomach and its allied viscera the liver and the
bowels. Upon these three important organs
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters act simultaneously y,
producing a thorough and salutary change IN
their condition. The vegetable Ingredients of
which the preparation is composed are of a reno
waiting regulating and alteTdtj5e character and
the stimulant which lends activity TO their
remedial virtues Is the purest and best than can
be extracted from the most wholesome OF all
cereals, viz: sound rye. No dyspeptic can lake
this genial restorative for single week without
experiencing a notable improvement in his
general health. Not only will his bodily suffer.
ings abate from day to-day but his mind will
recover rapidly from its restlessness and irrita.
bility, and this happy change will manifest
itself in his demeanOr TO all around him.
