lIoNE LIFE. Even as a sunbeam is
composed OF millions Of minute rays,
the home light must constitute the
little tenderness, kindly looks, sweet
laughter, gentle words, loving coun-
sells. ID must, not be like the torch
blaze of unnatural excitement, which
is easily quenched but like the serene,
chastcncd light which burns as softly
in the dry cast wind as 10 the slillest

SINGULAR SCENE.
Lady Attempts to Sell the State of Maine
Strange Conduct of Legislators.
An Annnstn letter writer to the Portland

strange Conduct of Legislators.
An Augusta letter-writer to the Portland
Argus says
There was a singular and unfortunate scene
occurred this morning at the State House.
Mrs. Jane 2. Thurston, of Portland, had caused
notice of sale of the State of Maine its rights,
appurtenances, ETC., to be posted up on the doors
OF the State House, and little before 10 o'clock
she assembled the Speakers rostrum and pro-
ceeded, IL manner worthy of Henry Bailey
in his palmiest days, to sell the State. One
Senator bid $15, ,000,0 900, and another $17,-
600, coo. Representative bid $2O,0O0,000 till
at last she made one better and struck il off
to herself and took her seat in the Speakers
chair. AS far as this all went well; but the time
for the opening of the session had now arrived,
and Mrs. Thurston was politely requested to
come down from her position, but she declined
to do So saying she had bought In the State and
must stay and keep her position. The Clerk of
the House of Representatives, presiding, then
promptly ordered the messengers to take her
ont Ui ct drmis. A scene of great confusion
ensued. Mrs. Thurston declared that she would
not remove from her place and especially that
she would not be removed by force. The mes
eengers secured her, and endeayored to remove
her. She made considerable resistance, and said
that she would move If the officers would let her
alone, but the latter were again ordered by the
Clerk to clear the desk and procure order, so
that the organization Of the House might be
proceeded with. The members began TO beg
Mrs. Thurston 10 go out quietly. Some
members began to be greatly excited, and
the feeling was decidedly unpleasant all
around. 1t was indeed sad to sec woman
in so humiliating a position. She grasped
the face of one OF the messengers very
fiercely, and only through the interposition
OF Mr.. Vinton, of Gray and some other gentle
men of Portland Mrs. Thurston was at last per-
suaded to retire to the Secretary's ROOM and
the organization was proceeded with, but the
unpleasant feeling was so great that the prayer
of Rev. Mr.. Bingham, which was the first SER
vice of the organization, was hardly listened to,
in spirit at least. By degrees the feeling sub
sided, but before the morning session closed the
subject was taken up at every dinner-table in
town, and the matter was universally regretted
by all as a very unfortunate circumstance be-
cause the subject of il was a woman, and one
who is deemed to be demented upon one sub
ject, although perfectly sane upon all others.
Mrs. Thurston was afterward invited to 90 to
dinner at the Central House by Colonel Drew,
Secretary of State, who said that Mr.. Harris, the
polite Superintendent of the State Buildings,
should be kept in as keeper of the State property
in trust for Mrs. Thurston, or the rightful owner
thereof. We saw Mrs. Thurston in the State
Library in the afternoon, still looking up legal
authorities, and friends tried to pers uade her to
return home tomorrow.

ECCLESIASTICAL ESCAPADE.
A WcIl-known Clergyman Elopes with
Young Indy Of His COngreGntion.

On Friday evening, prominent clergyman in
this city, who has hitherto been deemed godly
man and true, appointed meeting with young
lady of his congregation, and Immediately pro-
ceeded with her somewhither, but where no one
knows. 1t is believed they left the country.
The evening before this departure he packed his
trunk, and, after his family had retired,
supposing the good man of the house was
preparing his sermon for Sunday, he quietly
took his trunk out of the front door and had
Ii conveyed somewhere, to await his arrival the
following night. Friday evening he remained
out quite late, and at midnight, as he had not re-
turned, his wife became apprehensive OF his well
fare At about this time the mother of the
young lady, who had not returned, also heard of
her pastors absence, and that fact, taken in
connection with the fact that for some time past
he has been quite attentive to her daughter,
forced upon her mind the unpleasant belief that
the missing parties had left in each others COM
pany.
Further revelations made the uncertain con-
lecture a Veritable fact. Saturday everything
was quietly kept from all ears. But Yesterday

The clergyman Is well known in this city,
and his genial and courtly manners have made
him numerous friends. He is fne-looking
man of thirty years of age, tall, and possessed
of n magisterial dignity which makes him dis

highly respectable and wealthy family. Her
mother had prudently intimated to her that the
attentions of the minister more than strictly
pastoral duty called for, but the young lady

tor quite lattering in his remarks to her, but
that anything harmful would grow out of it was
not considered, nor did il enter into their minds
to comprehend. The clergyman has a wife and
two children, whom he professed to love de-
votedly, and his action will not belle his profes-
sions. Never has his name been associated with
anything that could blemish. His friends can
dwell ON that only as a fond memory now. His
wife is in great grief, and thinks that he must
be temporarily insane, and that IL is not the de.
