RULES FOR THE GUIDANCE OF MY LIFE.
Remember always that labor is one Of
the conditions Of existence.
Time is gold, throw not one minute
away. but place each one to account.
Do unto all men as ye would be done
by. .
Never put off till tomorrow what you
can DO to day. ~.@l
Never bid another do what you can do
yourself.
Never covet what is not your own.
Never think any matter so trif1ing as
not % deserve notice. .a-- s>-sE --4
n ever give out that which does not
first come in.
Never spend but to produce. g.
Let the greatest order regulate the
transactions of your life.
Study in your course Of life to do the
| greatest amount of good. 1855 ~ -
Deprive yourself of nothing necessary
to your comfort, bu: live in an honorable
simplicity. Il fas .Es-
Labor to the last moment of your ex-,

Pursue strictly the above rules, and
the divine blessings and riches of every
kind will flow upon you to your hearts
content.
First of all, remember that the chief
aud great duty ofyour life should be to
tend by all means in your power to the
hoLor of our Divine Creator.
The conclusion to which I have arrive
is. that without temperance there is no
health; without virtue no, no older, with
out religion, no happiness and that the
aim of our being is to live righteously,
wisely and soberiy. $3.50.

The cost of travelling in Europe is sub
ject that was discussed quite recently by a
freside circle in this city, and it was thought
that an economical person could spend three
months at an expense of about $780, The
opinion of one who has been there is better
than mere conjecture, and so we give the
statement of Mr.. Elwen of the Portland Tran
script, who has just returned from Euro
psan trip:
GAS to the cost of travelling in Europe a
question of great interest to many, it may be
stated at about FIVE sdollars gold per day, if
one is economical. 1t may of course, cost
much more than that sum. 1t is perhaps pos
gsible for q gentleman travelling alone, with
little baggage, to do it for less, but he must
make up his mind to suffer inconvenience
and practice much self denial, things which
greatly lessen the pleasure oftravel. In fact,
to thoroughly enjoy it, one needs plenty OF
money. There is routine of travel into
which it is easy to get, and out of which it is
difficult to throw ones self. But one can
see good deal and enjoy much for five or
six hundred dollars, in addition to his passage
money, if he has the self-denial to refrain
from all unnecessary expenditures"

Yesterday afternoon our citizens had an
opportunity to witness display supplemental
to the grand military pageant in the streets of
Bangor on the day previous. Five of the
military companies participating in that cele-
bration, reached this city in special train al
quarter to three o'clock in the afternoon, and
made an imposing street parade. The com
panies were as follows: Capital Guards, of
Augusta; Portland Light Infantry, of Port
land; Mechanic Blues, of Portland; Auburn
Light Infantry, Of Auburn; Norway Light
Infantry, of Norway. They were accom-
panied with four bands of msic-the Lynn,
Portland, Lewiston and Norway Bands aud
two drum corps. On the arrival of the train,
the line formed on Commercial street, the
Capital Guards on the right. Marching down
Bridge and Water streets halt was made op-
posite the post Office, where the Capital
Guards saluted the line as it passed by,
and marched to the head of the halted
column, leading the troopers as an escort
through several of the principal streets of the
city. Some preparations had been made for
their coming, and flags were stretched across
Water street, and depended from stores and
