MOUNT AIRY, N. j., MAY sth, 1877.

Mount Airy is now a temperance town be-
You'd redemption. The glorious old sign
I" Mount Airy Hotel which stood the racket
of many years to welcome the weary traveller,
has been taken down and its encouraging
greeting forever blotted out by that wicked
wretch Van Solver, and the cold dry words,
/" Mount Airy Store" substituted. Sewer
ought to be compelled to wade the Danube
under fire of all the batteries of Europe.
Owing to the great connection in Europe,
our farmers anticipate better prices and are
planting more than usual. Grass and Winter
grain look we'll and Mr. Primes garlic prom
ises heavy yield.
Last Sabbath morning, some one set fire to
q fence belonging to Mr.. A. p. Holcombe, Of
Mount Airy, which fire would have done con-
siderable damage had Mr.. II. not discovered
the fire soon after it was started. Such tricks
ought not to be practiced first, because it is
very wrong, and second, because innocent
people are often blamed
Goose feathers are very valuable, especially
on a right cold night, and in order to get the
feathers, we must raise the geese, and now is
the time to do it. But it is not so easily done.
Goslings are very sensitive to cold water on
their backs, and they are sometimes found in
the morning lying along the brook like so
many tumble bugs, apparently dead, though
they may generally be revived if properly
doctored in time. Capt E. Z. Holcombe,
gentleman of great goose ability. has had
more experience in this branch of practice
than any man we know of, and he uses hot
water cure, similar to hot bath in a tan vat,
though we are unable to give his precise meth
cd but we trust the Captain will do that
himself, and oblige many interested parties
and the goose growing public generally.
On visiting Lambertville last Friday, after
a prolonged absence of several days, we were
not little surprised to notice the many inn
provements made of late, and to hear the
noise and confusion of the busy mechanics. -
Several new houses have sprung up like mush-
rooms of night, and judging from the black
smoke and smell of pitch along the water
front, we presume the navy is being put up
on respectable war-footing.
Why is Russia like our big fat man of Mt.
Airy
President Hayes, we understand, will issue
neutrality proclamation, and we shall have
to do the same thing, if things don't go ON
more evenly here about Mount Airy.
SPEC. -Messis. Thos. II. and Dory H., two
of our prominent go-ahead grangers have
conceived the idea that hemp viii be in de
mand before this turkey business is ended
and have determined to 60 into the flax rails
in e business heavily. We warn them to be
careful. Many man has been shot by bis
cw trap-gun, and they may be growing halt
tiers for their-own necks; besides they must ex-
pect pulling time of it at best.

MASONIC,

CHICAGO, Nor. 17.-To the members Of the
Masonic fraternity: he question Of having
public entertainments aud uancing in Masonic
lodge-rooms now seems to be commanding the
attention Of some OF the most learned aud dis
tinguisned Masons both OF this country and
Europe. There is growing and determined
disposition in some Masonic Lodges to have
their halls opened and used as place Of public

Ny ten years OF Masonic experience have led

IN THE REAL ESTATE LOAN MARKET
figures indicate that there was quite an en-
couraging business done the past week, but
although figures arc said not to lie, yet they arr
often deceptive. Some large amounts Included
in the weekly statement are renewals, and where
renewals are granted they are generally placed
at q lower rate Of interest Tor improved proper
ty. The new business is about up to the aver
age OF the previous week, new demands being ut
q low ebb. The condition Of the market is not
unusual at this se1sou Of the year, when build
ing enterprises are drawing to close. The rates
for money unchanged, the majority Of build
lug loans bcin! placed at 5 per cent, aud loans
on improved business property being readily
taken at Z; outside the city limits 10 PEE cent is
the usual rate.
The following loans Of the past week may be
taken as indicating the state OF the market:

that his decision upon that subject has been sus-

COMPENSATION.

I am sitting by my window,
Whilst the shadows slowly creep
From behind the western hill-tOps.
Where the Sun has gone to sleep;
And I'm thinking Of maiden
Whom loved long time ago.
When my life was in its Springtime.
And my heart Was all ag1oW
With the fire OF youthful passion
And the buoyaut dreams Of Youth
Gave to life radiant rose-hue
For too bright for sober truth.
fes, Tn thinking OF thut maiden,
For 10 mt she's maiden still,
Though the heai of twenty Summers
And ne many Winters chill
Have left their marks npon her
Since the day VIXEN tlrst we met;
But 10 me she's falr as ever,
And love her toIiiy yet.
And. while sit thus rnnsiny'
On the joys which Memary brings,
Comes message from my darling
With plalntlye sDn4 she sings:
"TuE COST OF PLEASURE.
'4Cpon tile valleys lap
The .iewy morning throws
A thousand pearlr drops
To make d single ro1e.
Thus often, in the course
Of llfc's few, tlcetinx years
4 single pleasure costs
The soul Thousand tears"
Ah, my love! your songs Il sad one:
DOES it echo from the heart.
Have the few brief jOra we've tasted
Left 30 deep and Keen smart
That your soul cries out in anguish
Aud your heart il filled with tears, !
While to me the recollection
Gathers fragrance with the years:
But Ill answer in your measure,
And by your song l IL prove
That no drop OF dew Is wasted
On the object of its lore;
And that for the cost Of pleasure,
Which at timcs reems most intense
In the anguish that It brings us,
There ubltics u recumpeuse:
TUE RECoMPESsE.
But yet the beautcous thing
Those dcw-drops Wake TO view
Is worth thousand times
4 thousand drops Of dew.
That rose may tl!oop and fade,
Its leaves may withrred lie:
But, gurn-rcd with our loves,
Its fragrance Will not die.
And 50 single joy,
An cctasy OF bliss,
Zen though its life be brief
And transient IS kis8.
Is garncred III the heart,
And Frightening with the years
OF grief ana pain that pass,
