SWEAR Nor AT AlI."-The Pittsburgh
Preacher gives seven good reasons why man
should not swear:
1. 1t is mean. A man of high moral standing
would almost as soon steal sheep as to swear.
.. 1t is vulgar-altogether too low for de-
cent man.
3. 1t is cowardly-implying fear of either
not being believed or obeyed.
4. 1t is ungentlemanly. A gentleman, accord
ing to Webster, is genteel maxwell bred, re-
fined. Such a one will no more swear than go
into the street and throw mud with loafer.
5. 1t is indecent-offensive to delicacy, and
extremely unfit for human ears
6. 1t is foolish. Want of decency is want of
sense"
Z. It's abusiye-to the mind which conceives.

She has scorned the advice Of her re-
creant son, b. II. Hill. She has been
true to her instructive love of liberty

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.-Barning of a Sugar Re-
.tfnery.-The Revere Sugar Refinery at East
Cambridge Mass, owned by Nash, Spaulding
& Co., took fire at the upper story, Wednesday
night and before the flames could be subdued,
the whole upper portion of the building, togeth-
er with the valuable machinery therein, was de-
stroyed. The fltering department was in this
portion of the building and was destroyed, be-
sides all the chemicals used for the purposes
The quantity of sugars on hand included 1000
barrels of refined; 1000 barrels in process, and
from $50 to 800 hogsheads of crude sugar in the
basement, all of which was greatly damaged by
fire and water. The value of the stock, crude
in process and finished, is estimated at $780, 600,
and of coal in the filtering department at $4O,-
900, and the proprietors estimate their loss at
about $150,0O0. The works will be Immediate
ly rebuilt, though it will require at least four
months to put them in the same condition in
which they were ON Wednesday night. The
property was insured in forty-four different
companies to the amount of about $3.50 O00 The
two Bangor companies have $4,000 each.
AS usual the agent of the Associated Press in
Boston has sent no account of this fire east

the particulars.

JACOB BARKER the well known financer
and banker who died in Philadelphia, Tuesday,
passed through great many changes. He was
born at Swan Island, Kennebec county, in this
State, on the 7th of December, in the year
1879. He descended, by his mothers side of
the family, from the same stock as Doctor
Franklin, to whom, in his very proudest mo-
ments, he was ever glad to claim a certain fam
lily resemblance. Mrs. Barker, his mother,
was of a Quaker family in Nantucket Young
Jacob was brought up in the communion of the
Friends, to which, as to the unpretending style
of dress costume of the society," he adhered for
very many years. When he was sixteen years
old he was set adrift in the world; left 'lord of
himself" which has been to many of his age
heritage of woe"
AT that time he went to New York and be-
gan trade in a small way, but by the time he
was q, so successful had he been, he owned
four ships and brig and had his paper dis
counted in the United States bank. He ap-
pears to have been man of mastery ability in
whatever direction he chose to exercise it. He
often appeared in court to manage the most
difficult causes of his own, and SO conducted
them as to astonish the most slkillful lawyers
He participated in New York politics. taking
the Democratic side. He started paper to
advocate the cause of Dewitt Clinton for the
office of Governor. 1t seemed to have been his
ambition to be an autocrat in financial affairs
in the earlier days of the Republic. In 1884, he
went to New Orleans, where he was engaged in
financial matters usually having a newspaper
organ. In the rebellion he took the Democrat
c side being hostile to the success of the feder-
al arms
