His was memory of stupendo1s feats,
and also an intelligent instrument and
servant. He could not only remember
what was useful, what he wanted to re-
mem Der, but what Twas utterly worthless,
what entered his mind by accident, what
was read by the eyes only, scarcely en-
terlng into the mind. If, on one occa-
sion, he repeated to himself the whole
OF :, Paradise Lost" while crossing the
Irish channel, on another, waiting in a
Cambridge cotfee-house for post
chaise, he picked up a country news
paper containing two poetical pieces

them further thought for 40 years, and
then repeated them without the change
OF a single word. The readers of his
life" will remember that his memory
retained pages OF trashy novels read once
III his youth. In fact, in way OF
speaking, he forgot nothing. AS has
been well said, CHS mind, like dredg-
ing net at the bottom of the sea, took up
all that it encountered, both bad and
good, nor ever seemed to feel the bur-
den, in this differing from Boiling

tionate memories. His we cannot but
think case in point. He would have
been fairer historian if he could have
forgotten some things-if his early i'm
pressions had so faded that they could
have given place to, or at least been
modified by, new ones. In their vivid
strength they stood in the way of iudg-
ment.

PUG and Cat.
IF'rom Chambers journal. ]

JourHdlI
The affections of acertain cat for a pug
dog was great, and the following are two
instances showing its affection and IN
telligence: The cat was constantly OBJ
served to bring live mice to the pug.
and we all were amused at the cat push
ing the mouse before the pug, who was
much more alarmed than pleased. Our
pug became very fat, and we gave strict
orders to our servant not to feed him;
still, as pug continued fat, we watched
him, and we found that he ate the scraps
that were left for the pigs. This place
was accordingly boarded over, so that
pug could not get over the barricade.
Nevertheless, to our establishment, pug
continued as fat as ever; when we dis
covered that the cat used to climb over
the boards and bring over with her bones
of chicken and fish for the pug, who was
waiting expectantly on the other side.

O. TELL me- NOT OF HEAVENLY HALLS.
BY MRS. CELIA 'THAXTER


o, tell me not of heavenly halls,
Of streets of pearl and gates of gold,
Where angel unto angel calls
Mid splendors of the sky untold. a
My homesick heart would backward turn
TO find this dear, familiar earth, ...,s.s
To watch its sacred hearth-tires burn,
To catch its songs of care or mirth.
I'd lean from out the heavenly choir ~.
To hear once more the red cock crow,
What time the mornings rosy fire
Ger hill and field began to glow. .,.
To hear the ripple of the rain,
The summer waves at oceans brim,
To hear the sparrow sing again
I'd quit the wide-eyed cherubim!
l care not what heavens glories are
Content am I. More Joy it brings
To watch the dandehon's star
Than mystic Saturn's golden rings.
And yet, and veto dearest one, '" i'--A
Ny comfort from lifc's earliest breath,
To follow thee where thou art gone, e."
Through these dim, awful gates of Death
To find thee-feel thy smile again, ','
To have Eternity's long day
To tell my grateful love-why, then. .s

Capt. George Fish returned on Saturday last
from his seasons sailing, and Monday secured
ground opposite the residence OF DR.. Haskin on
which he will construct building for fruit dry

ployed by Mr.. Northrup in his establishment,
but it is said to produce excellent results.
DR.. Rowe is about to commence the construc-

on his premises. From the description given,
it would seem that it will be, when completed
something worth the attention of anyone con-
templating the construction of anything Of that
kind. The Dr., in addition to looking after his
large professional practice, devotes considera-
BILE time to his farm and to improving and beau

The REIMBURSEMENT Of studies reaches back as
far as the secondary department. The inter-
mediate department is where the foundation Is
laid for all subsequent work in school; and yet,
under the old plan, here we're crowded so many
subjects aud so many pupils, under single
teacher, that Rotations had to be cut down
10 from five to fifteen minutes each. Here, and
for this reason, the average pupil was so Grip
pied in his work that he never recovered IN all
his subsequent study. For the purpose OF reliev-
ing the pressure here, and assisting the princi-
pal OF the grammar department, who has now
the studies formerly in the first year OF the
high school, an additional teacher was required.
Mrs. b. +. Heckert. formerly very efficient
teacher in cur schools, has been employed by
the Board.
Believing that this is matter in which every
person concerned in the schools must be inter-
ested, The Northerner has given its space to
present it to the public. This plain statement
of the case ought to make the matter clear to
every reader, and careful examination OF this
article ought to convince every one that very
important and valuable change has been insti-
tuted in the management of our public schools.

One Of the greatest detrments to the success
of our schools is the habit that pupils have of
entering two weeks or a month after the open
ing of the year. The attention OF parents in
the district, and OF nonresident pupils, is called
to this matter. II pupils expect to get the full
benefit Of the school, they certainly must make
every effort to enter when the years work be-
gins. In almost all cases even few days 40
sence at the beginning places pupils at disad
vantage from which they cannot recover in all
the rest of the year. This delay is more OF a
habit than necessity, and parents need 10 at
tend to it il they expect to get a return for the
heavy school taxes which they pay; and non
resident pupils. also, il they mean to get the
benefit OF the tuition they pay.

The public schools opened on Monday with
an unusually large attendance in every room.-
This is particularly noticeable in the high school
where there are now enrolled about sixty pupils.
This does not include the forty pupils who
would, under the former plan, have entered
this department, but are now kept in the gram
mar room another year. Quite number Of
very promising nonresident pupils have en-
tered the school for the first time, and others
ere expected from week to week, besides those
who have before been in the school. AS the
school opens, there is promise OF one Of the
most successful years ever known here. The
attention and interest and visits OF parents are
cordially invited by the Board OF Education and
the Principal.

facture and preparation of peppermint oil, Of

also manufactures the oil Of NORWOOD to a
considerable extent. His apparatus is of his
own construction and well adapted to the uses
FOR which it was designed Mr.. Allen, as is well
known, has For some years been engaged in the
manufacture OF native wines from the grape,
strawberry, blackberry, elderberry and the cur
rant. Ee has large stock OF these wines on
hand, some OF which are nine years old. Among
the large and varied stock of tools he has for
his own use we noticed what be calls rotary
hoe" which is an invention of his own. and is
quite a curiosity in its way. We Judge it to be
a very useful article-much superior to the
common hoe in the cultivation of plants liable
to be overrun with weeds. Il does its work
very effectually and thoroughly, and Is just the
thing to dress out cabbages, onions, strawberry
plants, etc. 1t is probably the best tool OF the
kind yet invented.
