Many persons who have seen both rivers, have
compared the Kennebec to the Hudson in roman
tic shore scenes and beauty Of wndings. Stand
ing in prominent position so that an extensive
view of our river can be obtained its course con.
stsntly turning, and changing the scenes of its
banks, gives TO the stream picturesqueness which
strangers gazing on often assert to be one which
few rivers in New England or elsewhere in our
country possess. A pretty river Is one of Nature
grandest works! When she adds to this rapids
and falls, and dsshes the sparkling water over
sharp rocks into spray. giving to man q power
which elsewhere he cannot fnd-then Nature
adds usefulness to beauty.
No wonder the Indians were charmed with the
Kennebsc, and loved to sail its pretty waters
There they caught the best of fish slong its banks
they found the rarest game. Once they had it all
their own-from the lake to the sea No one
disturbed Them on its entire course-it belonged
to them alone. And now when they see it-see it
30 vastly changed along portions of its banks, no
doubt they feel a certain sadness for the lost
possession Of the stream they named, which,
"Devolving from its parent lake,
A charming maze its waters make,

The greatest facilities are afforded to dssatis-

the strongest temptation is offered to people to

such marriages are little better than legalized
adultery. We make effort-it is little better in
fact than pretence.-to punish adultery not le-
galized, and offer premium to the male and fe-
male rsscss who will perpetrate it under the col

from Pilgrim OF Puritan ancestry, and to have
