A sleeper is one who sleeps. A sleep
er is that in which the sleeper sleeps. A
sleeper is that on which the sleeper runs
while the sleeper sleeps. Therefore while
the sleeper sleeps in the sleeper, the sleep
er carries the sleeper over the sleeper un-
der the sleeper until the sleeper which car

wakes the sleeper in the sleeper by strik-

The working of the refinery will increase
the revenues of the Portland custom house
anywhere from one hundred and fifty to
two hundred thousand dollars per month

A Centennial Spree.

They got drunk at old fashioned mus

day were far worse than in these day~;
but there j, yet vast room for improve
ment. Ten days ago our New YORK ais
patches fOrebodcd that the Centennial ball
would degenerate into drunken orgie.
our dispatches OF to-day verify that pre-
diction. The great issue of the dude man

After much wine-bibbng the experts set
tied that matter and ordered gigantic riy-
ers OF choice grog. Those rivers were
poured down the throats Of thousands OF

end-in disgrace. Respectable people He'd
from the place at an early hour, and the
ballroom was abandoned to Pandemonium.
The management of the social side of
the centennial has been in bal hands
throughout. 1t was an insult To the conn
try, deliberated, and hence all the more
sharply to be criticised, The best peo-
pie" the select 400, must bear the blame.
The "best people" should no longer be de-
fined by society"
The best temperance lecture of the cen
tennial is the intemperance that fiagrantly
misrepresents the hour and the country,
and as badly befuddles the spirit Of 1859
as it does that of l7s9.-Le,rjStoR Journal.
A Young man in good circumstances,
neatly dressed, accompanied by beautiful
young woman, called on an Augusta par
son, one Sunday afternoon, ana asked him

young man had been drinking considerable
liquor, which soon began to show its ef
fects, as the ceremony proceeded. The
minister was surprised, but kept cool.
What his course was he tells the Boston
GIobe as follows: when | came to make

saw that my words had had an effect upon

The little boy was on his knees i'm his
little night dress saving his prayers, and
his little sister couldn't resist the tempta-
tion to tickle the soles of his feet. He
stood it as long as be could, and then he
said: please God, excuse me while
