In travelling this distance, we passedover another range they had put such reports in circulation? O! shame on of the Catskill m'ts, about 4 miles high, sand passed by such characters!


Slanderers, through envy, are ever ready to back-bite their neighbors, when such neighbors have every thing to make them happy.


With the Psalmist I may say, "They have spoken a- soil; and while thinking of the luids of Massachusetts, it gainst me without a cause," and I can also say, " but I |seemed to me that to attempt to get a living from such gave myself up to prayer, and am not the only one who land, would be, ironically speaking, like picking gold-dust has suffered innocently.

Our paper is backward this week on account of the tardiness of many of our correspondents. Will thev hand in their articles a little earlier? If so, they will greatly oblige us, as we serve in the capacity of Publisher, printer, d-1, and "all hands." Hence the importance of being in season.

MR. Pus: Having traced an unprincipled act of a few individuals, I wish to enquire whether it is their duly to slander their neighbors. Can they be employed in no bet- ter business? Perhaps it would be as well for them to mind their own business. Do those persons who went to Exeter, N.

This town, previous to its being occupied by the whites, was inhabited by Indians, over whom was placed an Amer- ican Agent, who was located in Schenectady. While en- gaged in his duties as an Agent, he was brought very low by sickness-so much so that the Indians who recommend- ed the waters of these springs to him were obliged to car- ry him from this place, a distance of 21 miles, on a litter of straw. By remaining here a short season and continu- ally partaking of the waters, be so far recovered his health as to be able to walk back to Schenectady. The fame of this was spread abroad in that land, so that many who were invalids, settled here for the benefit of their health, and many others took up their residence as board- ers, during the summer months."


But alas, how changed at the present time! It has now become one of the most fashionable resorts in the Union, and even the English themselves declare that they have nothing in that country to compare with it as a watering place.


As the old saying is, it takes all sorts of people to make a world, so if any person wants to see a little world in miniature, let him visit Saratoga at this season of the year.


Having remained here a short time, left for, and arrived at, a place called " home, hoste, sweet home." OSCAR.


We will state, once for all, that our paper will not be delayed again as it has been this week, on any account whatever! We shall issue our paper hereafter on Wed- nesday mornings, and all correspondents are particularly requested to hand .in their communications as early as the Monday evening before publication ;- otherwise, they will be put over to the next week. "A word to the wise." It will be seen at a glance, that it is far from being for the interest of the paper to disappoint our subscribers for the sake of accommodating a few.

Narrow Escape. Thursday morning, about 3 o'clock, a milk cart belonging to Mr Savile, of Quincy, was back- ' ed off the bridge at Commercial Point in Dorchester, by the horse taking fright, and tumbled into the river -- driver, horse, cart and all. The driver, who is a son of Mr S., was somewhat injured, but escaped alnost miraculously, The horse swam ashore with the fore wheels of the cart, but the inilk will have to be separated from the water in " the stream before it will be fit for use .- Mail.


As to the milk's not being fit to use, friend Mail, raint you mistaken? Why, it's the way folks "cure" milk now-a-days, to let it soak in water till after it is sold. A wholesale milk-cart is that stream. A chance for a fortune.

Thou art welcome, fragrant blossom! Though I little thought to be At this odd, untimely season, Favored with thy company. Thou art welcome, and I hail thec As a messenger of love;


Sent in kindness to remind me- There are flowers which bloom above. Thornless flowers whose blossoms fair, Mect emblems of pure spirits are.


Thou art lonely-thy companions With the breath of Spring havefled; They'll return on Time's fleet pinions, And rich fragrance round me shed. They'll return with thee, fair blossom, When the Spring again shall smile. I had friends whom death has chosen; Would they could come back awhile- That their deur forms, and faces bright, Once more wight bless my longing sight.


Thou art fading! like each pleasure Of my childhood's sunny home;


When the riv'lets beld a treasure, I would fain have called my own. When I wandered through the meadow, A gay, thoughtless, happy child ;


E'er my heart was touched with sorrow, Or by sin had been beguiled;


Those riv'lets still have charms for me !-


But that bright face no more I see,-


Which from its stream look'd sweetly up, Reflected by its"waters;


Whene'er.I stoop'd to fill my cup, The richest of Earth's daughters.


That old tin cup which shone so bright, Was often filled with berries


Plucked from the vines at early light, Or with sweet plums and cherries. But childhood's joys have passed away, E'en as thy beauty doth decay. Sept. 9th, 1844. A. P. S. P.


While the Salem Light Infantry were in Lowell, the Salem Brass Band were invited to a gentleman's house, to partake of some refreshments. A table was spread, and on it a number of decanters were placed, filled with poi- sons. The Host filling his glass with the intoxicating beverage, invited the Band to do the same .: Each man of that band filled his glass with pure cold water, drank the health of their Entertainer, and-left him alone with his de- canters! The Salem Brass Band don't blow it that way. N. E. Wash.

Men often act lies, without speaking them. False ap- pearances are lies.


Concord is the milk of nature, prosperity the butter, and affluence the cheese. On many occasions, a good book supplies the place of an agreeable companion. The reproaches of a friend should be strictly just, and not too frequent.


An ass oftentimes passes for a - lion, by simply leaving off braying.


Carelessness gives temptation to dishonesty.


A vacant mind is open to all suggestions, as the hollow mountain returns all sounds.


The error of one moment becomes the sorrow of a whole life.


A wise man adapts himself to circumstances, as water shapes itself to the vessel that contains it.


The gem cannot be polished without friction, nor man perfected without adversity.


A learned man obtains currency in refined society by saying much; an unlearned man, by saying little.


True politeness, like true virtue, cannot be described in set rules, or exactly defined lines of conduct.


Society, like a shaded silk, must be viewed in all situa- tions, or its colors will deceive us.


Let it not be forgotten, that. from the earliest age, the feelings, as well as the intellectual faculties, may be culti- vated.


The rich man oftener wants an appetite and rest, than the poor man wants meat and a bed to lie on.


If there is any person to whom you feel a dislike, that is he of whom you ought never to speak.


To gain extensive usefulness, seize the present opportu- nity, great or small, and improve it to the utmost.


Seek not to be rich, but happy; riches lie in bags, but happiness lies in content, which accumulated wealth can never give.


Those who pretend to know more than others, are some- times more ignorant than those who pretend to know no- thing.


There are some who write, talk, and think so much on virtue, that they have no time to practise it.


A wise man, by his speeches, does things which a hun- dred armies conjoined could not execute.


If you can afford it, postpone every-thing to do a service for the deserving and unfortunate.


There are two reasons why we don't trust a man-one is, because we don't know him; and the other, because we do.


Always have some worthy end in view, in whatever you undertake; remembering that to fail, with good intentions, is more honorable than success in an evil cause.


The poetry of the Creator, written in beauty and fra- grance, raises our thoughts to heaven, and brings down heaven to earth.


He that knowingly defends the wrong side of a question, pays a very bad compliment to his hearers. It is in plain English, this: "Falsehood, supported by my talents, is stronger than truth by yours."


[He who subscribes for, or advertises in, the Danvers Eagle, will find the stream of life runs smoothly on its course.]


Parents should not love their children unequally, or, if they do, they should not show it, lest they make one proud, the other envious, and both fools. Where nature has made a difference, it is the part of a tender parent to help the weakest.


Education is a companion which no misfortune can re- press, no clime destroy, no enemy alleniate, no disposi- tion enslave; at home a friend, abroad an introduction; in solitude a solace, in society an ornament; it guides to vir- tue; it gives at once a grace and ornament to geniu's.
