Till no one dare say In this land of the free ‘I done’ for ‘I did,’ Or ‘It’s her’ for ‘It’s she.’ No good are all the ‘had beens,’ for in country and in town. Nobody cares how high you’ve been, when once you have come down. When once you have becii President, and are President no more. You may run a farm, or teach a school, or keep a country store; No oue will ask about you; you never will be missed,— , The mill will only grind for you while you supply the grist. He is masculine. He-r is feminine. He-ro is masculine. He-roine is feminine. Asbestos cloth is being used for wearing apparel by the firemen in Paris. Niagara is compounded of two Indian words, JViaff hein, hark to the thunder! Dickens’ power of application was truly wonderful; for he wrote “All the Year Hound.” A thread has been produced from the common nettle so fine that a length of sixty miles weighs only two and a half pounds. Fortune knocks once at every man’s door; hut she doesn’t go hunt¬ ing through beer saloons for him, if the man happens to he out. It is an old story, hut worth re¬ membering—the Quaker’s considera¬ tion for his better half: “All the world is very (pieer except thee and me, and thee is a little queer.” Take a tumbler and pour water in¬ to it; hy-and-by you can pour no more; it is full. It is not so with the mind. You cannot fill it with knowledge in a whole lifetime. The organ-blower works harder with his muscles than the organ- player, and may pei’haps he exasper¬ ated into thinking himself a down¬ trodden mnrtyr because he does not receive the same pay for his servi¬ ces.—[O.

It is formed by the union of two rivulets, one of which is very strongly impregnated with iron, while the other, meander¬ ing through a peat marsh, imbibes gallic acid, another ingredient in the formation of ink.

I ' V ' Z . mile, or, ] crliaps, in tlie next township. In his despair, the weary canoeist consigned the whole neighborhood to the “milky way,” and took np his march and then the countermarch; for the “babes in the woods” mnst have milk, although it was after six o’clock. A farmer with no cow seemed to him a ridiculous state of affairs, and he suggested a goat, or a cocoanut tree. The supper was eaten by artificial light this night. We must not forget to mention the whip-poor-will’s all night legato in A minor—we believe that is a very proper expression, though we can’t vouch for its accuracy; but we are sure it was a whli poor-will. NINTH DAT. The Boteman strayt Held on his course with stayed stedfastness, Ne ever shroncke, ne ever sought to bayt His tryed arnies for toylesome wearinesse; But witli his oares did sweepe the watry wildernesse. — Spenser. A restful night and an early launch were the records of the ninth morninp-. The sun’s great heat was somewhat lessened by a head-Avind; yet arms toughened by a week’s exposure began to blister, and “Like sly Avater-rats Ave stole along nearer the shore” to avoid its direct rays. We divided our attention betAveen the scenery of the shore and the islands, especially Pine, Bear, and Mark. As we sped along, we realized that money Avas not all of life; for the Avide-sprcad lake, the clustering isles, “each silver hemmed,” and the mountain Avail Avere ours. The greatest beauty of the lake is its irregularity, for it thus unites the delights of lake and river Avithout the A ' exatious delays caused by dams and rapids. Fkom Mark, Ave fought the Avaves over to the northern side of Governor’s Island,— it Avas the southern side Ave followed the first day. Although Ave were bound for Weirs, Ave chose the two short legs of a triangle, instead of the hypotenuse, to avoid the strong Avind Avluch resisted every stroke of the ])addle.—How strange it is, that, if a long Avalk must be taken in a given direction, all the carriages are going in the opposite! Only once during the tAvelve days did the courses of the wind and the canoes agree.—-Refreshed by a SAvim in the clear Avater, Ave clipped deep and strong, and arrived at the Avharf in season to mingle Avith the usual throng which greets the moun¬ tain trains. The three hotels, the many boarding-houses, the beautiful summer cottages, the artistic regimental buildings of New Hampshire’s veterans, the pretty station and restaurant, the numerous steamers, both large and small, the large collection of good boats, the camp-grounds and the many assemblies which frecpient them, and last, but not least, the grand vieAVs of the lake, make “The Weirs,’.’ or Ahquedaukenash (stopiiing-places), a sum¬ mer resort of great popularity. Our stay Avas short; for Ave found that the excessive heat and long distances of the last few days demanded a rest, and so, as we had made up the time lost by the rain, Ave determined to camp early. Wo first paddled into the middle of the outlet, to see the well-known “Endicott Rock.” We kneAV it by the great iron bolt AAdiich binds it together to keep it intact from the force of the frost. If the surveyors Avere correct, on the first of August, two hundred and thirty-five years ago, its latitude Avas 43 deg., 40 min., 12 sec. This survey Avas an important matter in those early days, for then it fixed this point as the head of the IMerrimack, and settled the OAvnership of many scpiare miles of land. Immediately, Ave ])assed under tlie Weirs Bridge, through water roughened by the conflict of current and Avind, and on the left bank found an abandoned camping-i)lace, with a pile of split Avood and a brook near by. As Ave and the sun sank to rest, the sound of distant thunder promised a Avet night. Our tent, no doubt, was pitched on the very spot Avhere many an Indian had set his Avigwam, for this ])hice Avas a favorite resort of the aborigines. Gone were the weirs, arroAV-heads, hatchets, pestles and mortprs; but Ave Avere lying, as the poet of the mountain sings:— “Where the old smoked in silence their pipes, and the young To the pike and the white perch their bailed lines flung; Where the hoy shaped his arrow, and where the shy maid Wove her inany-hued baskets and bright Avainpum braid.” Here the children of the forest lived, fished, and died, and, in the lan¬ guage of Thoreau, “Their mouldering elements are sloAvly ])rej)aring for another tnetamorj)hosis, to serve new masters, and Avhat was the Indian’s, Avill, ere long, be the Avhite man’s sineAV.” (See February number.)
