"SYsTEMATIc BENEFICENCE.' - Your CORE
spondent "Layman" notwithstanding his pro-
test to the contrary gives a rather fractions ex-
preston to his opposition to weekly giving.
suppose we must expect persons who don't wish
to give will not like sceekly giving, neither will
they like to see those who love to give, Civ
ing every week. Be this as it may, there can
be good defense made, we think, for the sys-
tenn of giving weekly. The gold and silver are
the Lords, and the cattle upon thousand hills,
and we are his stewards There are many of
US who love to give, but unless we give weekly
as we receive weekly, find we have not the
ready means at hand when the cause we desire
to aid is presented. Let us then consecrate to
the Lord aoeekly what we think is right for us,
though it be a small sum.
There is no disposition to compel any one to
give "for the church machinery to disburse,"
for it is expressly requested chat every one who
wishes to give to a particular object shall SO
designate it, and the wish so expressed will be
faithfully carried out, If there are persons
who give simply because the box is presented
before them, there is just so much gained for
the cause of benevolence, which is the cause of
the Lord as well, for he has said she that hath
pity on the poor lendeth to the Lord; and that
which he hath given will he pay him again.
You may 60 through the church and the par
ish and you will find those who give the most
to promote the objects of the church do really
give the most to relieve the "poor which ye
have always with you''
1t is part of religion to give, and. there fore,
the injunction of holy writ "upon the first day
of the week let every one of you lay by him in
store as God hath prospered him, that there be
no gatherings when come" 1t needs to be
constantly blazed before our minds that the
Lord has something Eyes, ally to do with our
prosperity and our adversely in the matters
connected with property, as well as in those
which concern our religion. Let us be careful
that we do not withhold more than is meet"
for it "tendeth to poverty" while we rem ember
hat the ''libera soul shall be made fat, and he
hat watereth shall be watered himself

A paper on EARNING as profession" by
Mr.. Lang of Waldo, contained many valuable
! ideas, It's general drift, howev>r, was more
Suitable for a political gathering or legisla-
tive assembly. The Patrons of husbandry were
specially commended, and the public will prob
ably receive the impression that the order has
received the endorsement of the Board.
Hon. E. Wilder Farley followed with brief
speech, referring to his former connection with
the Board, and tending cordial welcome to
that body and the other gentlemen present
from a distance. His illusions to oppressive
taxation and the prospects of its continuance,
the burden upon real estate, and the melancholy
smacked slightly of the ancient politician, and
were hardly calculated to infuse great faith in
the future of agriculture.
The remarks of Hon. Isaac T. Hobson at the
close of the afternoon session, were largely sits
tistical, designed to refute the assertion SO Of
ten made, that farming in Maine is unprofta-
BILE and that our farmers as class are deficient
in intelligence.
The evening exercises concluded the public
sessions. The court room was crowded by an
attractive and appreciative audience, who lis
tened for an hour and half to Mr.. Flint's story
of "a hundred years progress of American
agriculture" The speaker pleasantly alluded
to his early residence in Oxford county, his
connection with the public schools and the offer
of farm which he almost accepted. No report
can do justice to the lecture, and your readers
| must be referred to the next volume of. the
Massachusetts, Board.
Mr. Lewis of New York, who was present,
was called to the stand, and after nine o'clock
he retained his eager listeners for half an hour
with his mingled wit and wisdom on the sub
ject of Adaptation" If the shade of Dr.
Franklin ever visits the earth, he must certain
ly recognize Mr.. L. as his most worthy sue
cessor
After the usual complimentary resolves came
the final adjournment.
The profit to be derived from this meeting
cannot be actually estimated at present. it quite
certain, however, that no previous session has
afforded to the members more pleasure From
first to last the citizensj of Wiscasset were
mindful of every comfort and convenience that
could be provided. The tasteful and elegant
supper given by them in honor of the Board at
the Hilton House, and the neat and spicy say
ings of hosts and guests, deserve room even in
your crowded columns
AS this is an agricultural report, it is quite
appropriate to mention, that the grapes upon
the table were considered marvels of freshness
even by the experts from Massachusetts and
New York
Without spec al reference to the courtesies
and Inequalities of private citizens, justice re-
quire that the attentions of Hon. H. Ingalls,,
President of the Lincoln Agricultural Society,
and Geo. B. Sawyer, ESQ.,. Secretary, should be
publicly acknowledged.

Railroad Robbers.

ST.. LOUIS, January BIAS the train on the
Iron Mountain Railroad, which lef, here at
9:45 this morning, came in sight of Gad's
Hill Station, one hundred and twenty miles
below ibis city at 4:3O this afternoon, it was
signaled to stop. The switch was turned and
the train run on side track AS the train
stopped Conductor Afford stepped off to ascer-
tain what was the matter, when he was con-
fronted by man wearing q mask, and pistol
was placed at his head, and lie was marched
of. The engineer, fireman, mail agent. ex-
press messenger, and other train men were
then seized by five masked and hsaviy-armed
men, and also placed under guard.
The robbers then went through the train
and took from the passengers $40, 900 and a
large amount of jewery. They also took from
Adams Express about 81 900. and rifled the
mails. The robbers then left 10 a southerly
direction, aud after the release of the train
men the train started south. The robbers left
a mole on the train, which is now 10 the pos
session of Conductor Afford. The following
is a copy:
1.-THE south-bound train on the Iron Noun
tain Railroad was robbed here this evening by

robbers arrived at the station few minutes
before the arrival Of the train, and arrested

then threw the train on switch. The robbers
we're all large men, none of them under six
feet tall. They were all masked, and started
in southerly direction after they had robbed

loved wife, who had gone home 10 Heaven

lations of life he was model of excellence !:

merous household of highly interesting chill
dren who loved and honored him; as citizen,
he was eminently worthy and useful: devoted
to his friends, of whom he leaves behind a
multitude, who sorrow on account of his de-
parture, but not as those without hope.
As friend of the deceased and his afflicted
family, the writer OF this poor tribute TO his
memory, most sincerely sympathises with them
IN their bereavement, and earnestly prays that
the recollection of his many shining virtue
NAV help to assuage their grief aud lead their
minds to more serious thoughts of the bright
world in which their mother and father have
taken up their everlasting ana blissful abode
