Samuel Miller, a lumber merchant OF Ed

"A Boston minister says he once preached
on "The Recognition of Friends in the
Future" and was told after service by hear

The Hartford Courant thinks that if bus.
bands and wives "would consider that the first
aim and the permanent mission of their we'd
ded life is to give birth and suitable nurture to

childless families, and which is the direct oc-
'casion of misunderstanding and separation
and so-called divorce, would in most cases
pass away"

the following remarkable incident that occur.

Suddenly it broke near him, and millions of
mosquitoes covered the deck of the vessel to
the depth of several inches, while part of the
flock went through the mainsai, leaving moth
ing but the bolt ropes idly hanging to the
spars. Corroborative evidence to this aston
ishing tale was found in the person Of a down
east skipper" who heard the story, and who,
on comparing dates with the narrator, declar.
ed that two days afterwards he was boarded
by part of the same flock, and they all wore
canvass breeches.
The Concord Patriot says that Abbot,

-Sewall, Day & Co., proprietors of the
cordage works, Boston Highlands, have for
some time maintained store where their en-

ed among the work men in proportion to the
amount of goods purchased.

'EJLove is a cord that very few car,
skillfu!ly touch, but when once struck by
the velvet fingers of genuine affection,
IL vibrations swell until they fill every
cell and chamber Of the human soul
with their rich melody. When they die
out in feeble, auttcring strains, leaving
'hc human organ silent and tuncless,
then 1t is that misery comes into the
tcnantlcss mansion, and perchcs on the
dcspoiled altar of unrequitcd hopes. :
Man. no matter how rich his mind may
be with intellectual adornments; no
matter how stern and unbcnding his
exterior may SEEM let him bend at the
shrine Of love, and he becomes a jealous
aspirant for treasures, he fears, NAV
never be his, and over which he watches
with un!altcring waketulness.
