Maine Sense.

The farmers of Maine are prudent, care
full and iduIstrious people. Our summers
are short and our winters are long, and in
our climate it is work to get living, but
by thrift and economy some have managed
to lay up g. little and live comfortably ev-
cry year. Within the last year they found
with the same industry and economy they
were going astern and they could only
make ends meet by working hard and de-
priving themselves of many things they
were accustomed to have. Like sensible
men they looked around to SEQ the cause.
They saw they were robbed by the laws of
Congress the growth of their cattle, while
the State street banker reckoned his bonds
would buy as many two year olds as year
lings year ago. The Yankee farmer
stopped in the midst of his toll to find out
who had got the hay his two year old
heifers had ate He saw that SO far as he
| was concerned, his grass might as well
have gone back into the ground. That
hay had gone to strengthen the public
cfeult. 1uls iaISe Ilue vi VIII peoPie
called Srekcabneerg," are now selling hogs
for cents pound that cost 6 cents. They
know who has the corn their hogs have
ate, and they are after the robbers with up
lifted tamahawk and scalping knife.
The time has been when Maine farmers
could raise. pork, beef poultry and the Tro-
ducts of the dairy with the aid of western
corn, when corn was twice as high as now,
and make fair profits. The price of the
products of the farm justified the
| farmer in increaiing the products by the
aid of western corn. Now corn, is low but
hogs are lower, and the Maine farmer can't
afford to feed western corn. He is trim
ming his sials to the contraction breeze. The
less he raises the less he uses.

Wise Sayings from Don Quixote.

Here are few extracts from Don Quix-
ote.
Beauty in modest woman is like fire
or sharp sword at a distance; neither doth
the one burn nor the other wound those
that come not too close to them.
Keep your mouths shut and your eyes
open.
The absent feel and fear every ill.
Selfpraise depreciates.
The dead to the bier; the living to the
good cheer.
All women let them be ever so homely,
are pleased to hear themselves celebrat let
for their beauty.
Squires and knights aren't are subject to
much hunger and i'll luck.
Liberality may be carried to far in those
who have children to inherit from them.
Virtue is always more prosecuted by the
wicked than beloved by the righteous.
Every one is the son of his own works
Honey is not for the mouth of an ass.
No paddock, bolts or bars can secure a
maiden SO we'll as her own reserve.
Wit and humor belong to genius alone.
The wittiest person in comedy is the
one who plays the fool.
There is no book so bad but something
good may be found in it,
We are all as God made US, and often
times great deal worse.
Let hen live, though it be with pip,
We can not all be friars, and various are
the paths by which God conducts the good
| to heaven.
Covetousness bursts the bag.
1t is easy to undertake, but more dfficuli
to finish the thing.
The term is equally applicable to all
ranks, whoever is ignorant is vulgar.
By the streets of "By-and- by" one ar.
rives at the house of Never.
| Betwee the "Ycs" and "No" of a woman
/ would not UNDERTAKE. to thrust thepoint
of pin.
Patience, and shuttle the cards.
| A soldier had better smell gunpowdei
than musk
Other mems pains are easily borne.
A bad cloak often covers good drinker
Pray devoutly and hammer on stoutly.

Romance in Real Life.

An extremely singular affair trahspired
ia the city last week, the actors in which
are highly respectable citizens, residing at
present on Tenth street. Some twenty
years ago there come to a far-of Eastern
city young man, whose pleasing address
and engaging habits soon won the heart
and hand of one of the reigning bells Of
the Orient metropolis.
There we're lights, music, joy, priestly
words-a wedding; the former maiden be-
ing now known as Mrs. Little.
A few short years and there appeared a
shadow, at first the size of a mans hand;
afterward shutting out of the joy and
the sunshine; then chaotic dark
ness. The final eclipse is death! Years of
mourning followed, sanctiied by the tears
of grief. Time came, and over the earn of
the mourned sprang the perennial flower of
hope.
A second suitor, named John Sawyer,
appeared, and the star SO long buried in
the shadows rose again in the ascendant.
