II. 4. G. Hassard, New York Tribune letter.
TO diffuse and extravagant Americans
the most striking features of the country
are the compactness of the habitations,
and the extreme economy may almost
say parsimony-of the method Of tillage.
Every square foot of ground is put to
use; has been in use for unnumbered
generations. Here and there in the dis
lance appear patches of wood, carefully
preserved and guarded, but the rest Of
the land is almost bare of shade. There
is no brush and tangle of weed and Wild
flower by the roadside, no thicket by the
stream. The last of these trespassers
were eradicated ages ago, along with the
last stump. A gray stone! wall borders
the Highway. The crossroads are often
sunk two or three feet below the general
level. Marrow ridges of earth mark the
boundaries of the fields, and the burrows
are driven go close to them that it is a
wonder how the pillow is turned. Single
rows OF poplars stretch with exasperat-
ing regularity across the landscape.
They are trimmed close and sometimes
every twig is removed except bunch at
the extreme top; then they look like lib
erty poles with bushes tied to them.
There are willows by the brook, but they
are pollard willows, kept for theirstwigs,
which are scrQpulOusly cut of, and they
lift their SCARED and knotted trunks like
hands from which all: the fugers had
been ampntated. :. One beauty Of the
country 10 in its fertility and the va
ried contourof the ground; but the travel

for little of natures luxuriant irregu-
larity, aud thinking how much more

Of Maine are convinced by this time that
confinement in the state prison is not en- ed-
equa;e punishment for murder in the first

shed murders have increased TO an alarm
ING extent We have on our hands at the
state prison a batch Of desperate men. who
will not hesitate to kill the warden or hi.
deputies if they can gain their liberty there
by. The case of Deputy hinckley is fresh
IN the minds Of the people. The death pen
atty should be restored, and confinement ia
the state prison a year should not precede
the execution as formerly, but the execution
should take place within a reasonable time
after conviction
Our divorce laws are a disgrace to the
state Parties are yoked and unyoked with
great facility. There is no need that parties
deliberate about the contract. for the bond
is not necessarily permanent. With some
parties, under our present laws, marriage is
simply adultery made legal.
Our young people should be taught that
The marriage tie is TO be permanent, and that
thew should be very careful about entering
into il. They shoald understand also that
the best of people are obliged to exercise
great forbearanee in order 70 get along
smoothly.
This idea alone Can give us domestic peace
and the family, the proper support and train
ing of children.
