THE ADDRESS.
The address was delivered on the afternoon Of

regret that the pressure of matter prevents IA

thoughtful production, just such as would be ex-
pected from its author
THE DABSs
The elegant baby's carriage offered by the Mont
pelier Manufacturing Company to the prize baby
had the effect, as we predicted II would last year
Of bringing out Il notable crowd Of contestants.

There were entries Of long, middle and fine
wooded sheep, though the latter exceeded the
former in number as much as they do in beauty.
OF fine woods Henry Jones and Daniel Tyler were
the largest exhibitors followed closely, however,
by r 5. Brooks and c. b. Fisk, and David Denny.

nne animals, as did l.. w blanchard Of Brook

exhibited by George Flagg, of Braintree H. C. Kib-

A general chorus of ''You's right ]"
"Ob course we is = convinced him that

"Well," continued he, "You know

The 'ayes had it" again, so he con-
cluded with

MIXED SCHOOLS IN WASHINGTON
The new public school board of Wash
ington city, organized Monday night.
A resolution to revise the school rules
aud discipline, was referred to a com
mittee of three colored and two white
trustees. George w. Dyer, a white
member. announced boldly that he was
in favor of mixed schools, and no dissent
was expressed from his views. The
colored members favored the same
thing, if the law will carry them out:
An effort will be made by the late board
to restrain the new board from proceed
ing further upon the ground that they
have no right to break up the public
school system.

read wholesome lesson to the commu-
nifty. lie said, you are the selfmade
victim Of a passion which seems to be
seizing on society at large, and which,
like disease, spares neither age nor sex,
the single or the married, the rich or
the poor-the passion for getting rich
by one or more strokes Of luck; by a
process which is as much open TO the
fool as to the wise man, to the knave as
the honest man. 1t appears as IT in
these times men had but one faith, one
hope, one object in life-wealth. Re
spectability, contentmsnt with what we
have, the happiness of our family, honor,
all are sacrificed to this one god Of the
age we live in. Everything is TO be
sacrifced-not only our own prospects.
but the prospects of those dearest to us,
the prospects of our wives and children
to the great mania of getting rich;
and this wealth is not that which IS the
result of patient industry, uprightness
in dealings, and Legitimate trade, bat
the wealth of the gaming table.

he CONES NO MORE.

How oft I've met him at the door,
In days of long ago
But now, alas he comes no more,
And veal is stepped in woe.
Oh a.! in those blessed days of yore,
My sky was ever bright,
But now, alas he comes no more,
And day is turned to night.
Fate, like a vulture, from me tore
Ny bosom's counterpart,
And he alas can come no more,
To bind his broken heart.
But alb the fragments still adore
The image craven there
Although l know he'll come no more,
To soothe a single care.
The happy dreams of hoIe are DER,
And every ray is persisted,
For now, alas, he comes no more
To bring tie joy | cherished.
But soon Ill rest my weary oar
And sleep beneath the sod,
For he, alas can come no more
And I'd be with my God.
This languid spirit longs to soar,
Where joys eternal reign
For here, alas he'll come no more
But there well meet again.
And when | reach that blissfll shore
For him I'll watch and wait,
He'll come, thank God, he'll come one
more,
And find me at the gate.
