THE SEA MOSS INDUSTRY.

Among the latest industries es-
tablished in Maine Is that of col
lecting and drying sea moss. which
is followed in the town of Kittery.
This moss is collected In Dories In
the vicinity of Whites Island and
Whales Back. Two men go in
each boat, and with rakes made
for the purpose tear the mos from
the rocks at half tide. 1t Is taken
then to the beaches, where large
beds are constructed by taking up
all the large rocks, and leaving
only surface of small pebble
stones. These beds contain from
ten to three hundred barrels. If
there is no rain, sea water has to
be thrown on the moss, and the
sun bleaches 1t from the dark green
color, first to q beautiful pink and
then to a clear white. 1t has to be
turned occasionally, and made the
same as hay. After it is thorough
ly dried, 1t is packed in barrels
and shipped to Boston, where it
finds a ready sale at six cents q
pound. Immense quantities are
sued by brewers in settling ale.

How WOMAN WAS DECEIVED RYl

How A WOMAN WAS DECEIVED M
HER HUsBAND.--We hear Of a case Of
cool-headed and systematic deception
which is reported to have been perpe
trated In this city short time ago, and
which is too good to be lost. A saving
and prudent wife, after much urging,
induced her husband to save part Of his
wages by depositing $40 month with
her. The arrangement promised to
become grand financial success. Every
month the faithful husband handed over
$40 to his good wife, who carefully lai d
it away in safe place. Month after
month rolled on until ten $40 pieces
aggregating S200,had accumulated,
when the wife thought it would DO wise
to deposit the same in savings bank.
Accordingly one morning the lady
unearthed her pile Of golden twent les
and walked down to the Marysville
savings bank. On entering the institu-
ton she laid them upon the counter
with much satisfaction, congratulating
herself, no doubt, upon the fact that the
interest of tho deposit would ina fow
years amount to quite asum. and one
worth having in case Of misfortune and
bad luck in life. But then came the
denoument. The cashier readily discov-
cred the popularity Of the coin. The
$40 pieces were worthless limitations Of
the genuine coin. The true facts 10 the
case at once flashed across the mind of
the good woman. Her husband had
spent his wages, and in order to fulfill
his promise and keep up his monthly
deposits had purchased a lot Of Limitation
$50 known as "spiel marks" How the
matter was settled in the family, being
Of domestic and private nature, we
have not been inquisitive enough to
ascertain, and leave for all to imagine.

NO MORTGAGE ON THE FARM.

Mary, let's kill the fatted calf and cels

For the last dreadful mortgage on the
farm is wiped away

Don't all the Yankees celebrate the
Fourth day of July.
Because twas then that Freedoms sun

Why shouldn't we then celebrate, and

Where is there any freedom like being

I've riz mp many morning an hour be

And night has overtaken me before the

When weary with my labor, twas this

Each day will help to pay the mortgage

And, Mary, you have done your part in

By takin' eggs and butter to the little

You did not spend the money for dress

But sang from morn till ev ming in
your faded calico.
And Bessie, our sweet daughter, God
bless her loving heartl
The lad that gets her for wife must be

She's done without piano, her lonely

To have hand in paying off the mort

You shall not make your butter

For I'll go this very day and buy the

Lay by your faded calico, and go with
me to town,
And get yourself and Bessie new and

Low prices fer our produce need not
give alarm,
Spruce up little Mary! there's no

For He gave the rain aud sunsh ne, and

And heightened out our days to see no
