An Imnroyement.

from the Boston Transcript
The Western journalist is fast &C
curing the amenities of polite and re-
refined society. Says a Detroit man,
"The office boy of our esteemed con-
temporary is, in the EDITORS absence,
still trying to palm himself off on the
community as his intelligent and we'll
informed principal" Now everybody
must admit that this is a great ad-
vance upon the custom which formerly
obtained of speaking OF a brother
editor as "the empty headed syco-
plant across the way" or "the pre-
siding iackass of the low-down men
agerie whose vile smelling odors pol.
lutte the surrounding atmosphere. {"
But it is terribly severe on the office
boy.

A New York merchant, residing on
Hancock Street, Brooklyn, although
a. gentleman ofcomfortablem means, has
frequent economical fits. Desiring to
surprise his wife upon her return from
the country, Mr.. - concluded to I'M
dertake the task of vanishing his din

lustre- After devoting some time to
searching for q pot of varnish which
had been used on previous occasions,
the merchant, coatless and with rolled
up sleeves, commenced the Job which,
after labor of over eight hours, he
finished to his entire satisfaction. The
following morning he rose early, and
his first mission was to examine his
work. Greatly to his surprise, he
found that the 'varnish" had not dried
a particle, although both doors and
windows had been left open. A closer
examination disclosed the fact that he
had not found the pot of varnish, and
had vanished his dining room with
maple syrup This is a trne incident,
in which the facts are exactly as mere
related.

THE BLACK-RoBED SISTERS.
BY EDMUND LYONS.

Softly moving to and fro,
See, the black-robed sisters go,
Passing on from bed to bed,
With a gentle, noiseless tread.
Toiling not with hope of gain,
But TO soothe and lessen pain,
Waiting where the patient lies,
Tenderly to close his eyes.
Quick to answer mercy's call,
Whispering words of hope to all.
Charity is ever sweet,
In the hospital or street;
In the warm, luxurious room,
Or the aoisome earret's gloom;
Sweetest are it's holy laws
When its sisters serve its cause.
Oh, the loyal, loving hand!
Fairest, noblest in the land;
Helping all and helping well
WhereSoever sorrows dwell.
Hard and toilsome is the lot
They endure and murmur not.
III no pleasant places cast
Their reward is sure at last.
Wives, with husbands by your side,
Think OF all the hopes denied
To these women, calm OF MOOD,
Working ceaselessly for good.
With them in the contest cope
Faith and charity and hope,
Guarding them through all secure
LoWiy sisters of the poor.

EARLY RECOLECTIONS OF
LONDONDERRY.

Mr.. EDITOR:-I have seen several
pieces in your paper in regard to the
first settlers of the town of Londonder-
ry. If you will give the space in your
columns | will give some accounts of
the pioneers i'll the east part of town,
which if not soon reported will be lost.
In the year ITO Robert Miller built
a log house near the center of the large
meadow Oh the farm now owned b V
John Ramsdell. About the same time
Daniel Miller built a LOG house about
10 feet east of the house now Occupied
by Joel Thompson. At this time the
towns of Wihdham and Londonderry
were united and called Kent.
In 1772 Capt. Samuel THOMPSON
came from Dunbarotn, n. H., with his
wife, Molly, to visit this, then new
country, and his wife's brothers, Dan
iel and Robert Miller. They remained
III town or ) years, and during this
time had two sons born to them, David
and Samuel Jr., the former, Jan. 10Th
l775, the latter Nov. the 9th 1776.
The Revolutionary war was declared
about this time and Capt. Thompson
returned with his family to his former
home in N. Ii. In the year 47S2 he re-
turned to Londonderry where he spent
the remainder of life. Soon after his
return he took up large section of
land called "Pitched lot" and as his
sons became of an age to 90 out from
the patcrnal roof, to battle for them
selves, he gave to David the farm now
owned by n. S. Colburn, and to Sam
uel farm east of where John Rams
dell now lives, which he, Samuel. soon
sold to jonathan Buxton of Smithfield,
r. l., to his son Rogers, the place now
owned by Joel Thompson, and to his
son John the farm Occupied by the John
son brothers, he remaining on the Rams
dell farm. The above named farms
were then wild land and were bought
Tor trlfie more than two yoke of oxen.
Jonathan Buxton was the first settler
on the farm now owned by the widow
James and her son George, and Cant.
Patterson on the John Stuart farm. A
Mr.. Jacobs put in the first grist-mill. at
the foot of Derry pond, Lowell Lake.
Capt Warner bought this mill and adj
ded clothing works on small scale. lie
was succeeded by his son Daniel who
put up good building with grist mill
and clothing works on more extensive
scale. Most of the inhabitants went to
mill ON horse back. When | was no
more than years old | was sent to mill
in this way with two or three bags filed
with grain for JOHNNY cake and brown
bread, but little wheat was used in those
days
| well remember when Daniel War
ner went to New Hampshire to get pic
erel to put into the pond. about so were
put in, the first ever in the pond. Since
that time tons of them have been taken
out of the pond,
A burying ground was selected by
Capt. Samuel Thompson, about 40 rods
