The Friends regular Quarterly Meeting,
(known as the Fairfield Qusrterly Meeting) was
held at the Friends meeting house in Manches
ter. on Saturday and Sunday last. The weather
wss very favorable for the occasion, and we can
truly say the people improved it. not only the
Friends, but many others who belonged to other
societies. The venerable Eli Jones of China, well
known and beloved by people hereabouts, Wa
present and sat "the head of the meeting
Among other prominent ministers present we
noticed El zabeth Coms'ock of Michigan, Mrs.
Eliza CLARK of Arkansas, Mrs. Charlotte Holmes
Of Lewiston, Charles Jones of Winthrop. David
Douglass and l. w. Hawkes. of Manchester.
Saturday forenoon the meeting for business
was held. In the afternoon meeting for general
worship was held. and was addressed by Charlotte
Holmes, Elizabeth Comstock and Eli Jones.
Sunday forenoon. meeting was again held for
general worship, and the house, though a large
one was crowded. Mrs. Charlotte Holmes was
the prime ipal speaker and addressed the meeting
very effectively At one o clock Z. NJ, meeting
held for praise and general testimony. AT
two o'clock the regular afternoon meeting was
called to order. The house was packed to over
flowing. The meeting was opened with prayer by
Mrs. Clark, after which she addressed the meeting
in a very eloquent manner. Mrs. Clark was
orig nsy from Indiana. Immediately after the
war she in company with her husband went to
Arkansas, where they have since remained, hav-
ing charge of colored orphan asylum
She described very effectively their labors among
the oppressed and downtrodden coored race,

colored boys Of the aforementioned Asylum

AN eminent English Judge, in sen.

base and infamous libel, used the fol.
lowing languages: in the whole range
of offences aeainst the law, life. liberty,
and humanity, there is none % inexcu.
sable and criminal as the cold and pre-.

actsr through the columns of Q public

generally is. a man of low instincts and
of no individual character or influences
but through the medium of the press
the otherwise harmless words wound
deeply and desperately. There is an un.
equal conflict between the assailan.
and the assailed, and the only protec.

law. The injury inflicted cannot b
remedied, and the remedy sought is
often beyond the reach of the sufferer.

mora upon chance than any fixed law,
Whereby a definite result may be obtained.
Thinking to-day, perchance, to amass a for

there are, who if they had not lightly and
frequently changed their %yocations, would
now be in the enjoyment of happiness and
every comfort. whereas their latter days are
embittered by want and penury, and their
home the work-house OF asylum. ltis the
curse from which no one is exempt. that
.man shall carr his bread by the sweat Of
his brow" Such being inevitably the case,
let us not be over-fastideous as to the nature
OF our employment, provided it be honest.
If we feel dissatisfied with our lot. which
in fact we all do, the kings as well as the
beggar, let us nobly and manfully endure it,
and console ourselves with the pleasing GER
tainty that soon all our troubles, and tolls
and privations will end. Let us not too
readily try to divest ourselves of the weight
Providence has burdened us with. What
ever our condition or state in life be, let us
discharge its duties, and if we calmly sub
NIT to the All-wise Creators good will, rest
assured our allotted span will be more hap
Ply and less troubled than if we day after
day seek an evasive way OF obtaining that

and their hospitality, if sometimes carried
beyond a reasonable extent, yet relaxes the
mind, turning the thoughts from business
matters into other and very different chan

True. it is rest that Americans need, but
not rest from work; only rest from worry.
The haste to amass wealth and gain honor

tense strain of anxiety that fears failure.
When we lean to give our strength to labor
instead of expanding it in ~fretting, we shall

Yes, Colleen, time does bring about great
changes. Nine years ago a man came to this
town so obscure and humble that the tramps
wouln't speak to him, and not long ago,
when they took that man over into Illinois to
hang him, half the town trailed after him in
procession, and paid twenty-five cents apiece
for his photograph. And then there was the
young fellow with the straight back and
square shoulders, who wore corsets and
clerked in a millinery store, and was ell
gagedt to twelve girls on West and seven on
No tn Hill, Well, the other Gay we looked
in at his house, and saw him in the kitchen,
holding a baby in his arms, while he pump
ed dismally away at an old-fashioned churn,
while his wife leaned over the back fence
and gossiped with the man who brought the
baled hay. Oh yes, it's a changeful old
world. Remember what the Bible says, and

A gentleman attending one Of our church,
es with his wife, the other evening, placed
his silk hat on the seat the courteous usher
had led them to. The lady, not noticing
the hat, sat down upon it with such effect as
left no doubt about her weight. The circum-
stance was the occasion Of considerable mer-
riment to the observing persons near by, and
especially did the husband enjoy the crush
ing Of his wife's movement towards the seat.
A lady, telling of the circumstance at break
fast-table, said: 81 really did not think the
couple were married, the gentleman took
the matter in such good humor." "What,'
said her neighbor, 'did you expect to see
the husband drive his wife out of church
with a frown, or knock her down, for the
mishap?' "Oh, no; but husbands are SO
