unfoWded imputation.
Wo find the following rent irks in the
Ellsworth American of last week, in an ar
ticle upon the question of a candidate tor
Governor:
‘•Whether it is true or not, many well mean
ing persons, who are not particularly of a jeal
ous cast of mind think Mr. Blaine wa« the
cause of Mr. Morrill’s defeat winter before
last, and no amount of plausible excuses, nor
of probable palliating circumstances for the
Kennebec defection at that time, will make
them see it otherwise.”
Wo deem it our duty for the sake of
truth and justice, and for no personal con
sideration or bias, to deny without qual
ification the truth of the charge made iti
the above. It is an imputation totally
without foundation, the product of igno
rance of facts, incorrect reasoning from
false premises, and unfair motives; and
must be a« annoying to Mr. Morrill as un
just to Mr. Blaine. We feel authorized to
say that the warmest personal friendship
and confidence have existed and still exist
between the two gentlemen mentioned,
(which could not he possible if the above
charge were true) and that neither this
slander nor anything at present probable
in the future will avail to break or disturb
the cordial relations between them. We
do not charge the Ellsworth American
with an)- unjust intent in its remarks above,
but seeing the slander which sprang from
irresponsible sources reiterated in the
columns of what we have always taken to
be a fair, straightforward republican jour
nal, wc deemed it proper for us to make
this statement, We have a better opinion
even of the opposition papers than to sup
pose they would wilfully repeat for any
malicious purpose a charge so false as this
is. Were it true we should be the last to
deny or attempt to excuse so gross an act
of treachery as it implies.
SPItLXO- TIME.
The season of seed time is opening with !
excellent promise, calling upon the plough-1
man to drive “his team afield,” and all
hands to commence active labor in pre-j
paring the ground for crops. The genial !
sun begins to have a warmth in his rays
that invites to out door work, the breezes
smack of balm as they pass along, and the
melody of birds is heard in the morning
giving notice of coming joys. The life of
the well-to-do farmer is the happiest in the
world if he would but believe and be con
tent. Many who have left the plough to
eugage in other occupations know this by
experience, but unfortunately they are sel
dom able to make their experience answer
for others, who look with dissatisfaction
upon the fields they are obliged to till and
sigh for some business that seems to pro
mise them more surely fame or fortune.
This is the history oi the world we be
lieve. The young man leaves his rural
home, disgusted with the hoe and scythe
and farmyard, and takes his way to the vil
lage or city to find employment as a clerk,
apprentice, anything that does not remind
him of the barn «r hayfield. If he be
comes a mechanic he has a life of tuil be
fore him, if a clerk he enlists in a game of
chance, and if lie enters a profession he
finds the way to honor very uncertain, and
the struggle for a livelihood with the nu
merous competitors he meets one that
tasks soul and body and makes him feel at
last, even though successful, that the hum
ble life which he left was the path of wis
- dom. Hut all this has been repeated many
times, and will be again, and still it has
not made and will not make the farmer
more contented, the boy less ambitious to
rove, or impress him with the advantages
he rejects and the difficulties he hastens to
embrace.
Nevertheless, while the earth is putting
on her robe of green and the sky is chang
ing to the season of pleasant sunshine and
gentle rains, we commend the farmer to
his plough, upon which not only he but all
must depend for support. There is no
fear that his products will not be wanted
be his harvest ever so abundant. The soil
ol Maine is stubborn but strong, and a
market is never wanting for what it brings
forth. And while we thus speak to the
hard fisted toiler, we admonish the man
of books and in-doors work generally,
to be “ up with the lark” or robin
these mornings and try his hand in the
garden at spaue, noe or pruning mme.
Let him not stand and look on with gloved
hands as some hired workman stirs the
soil, hut bury his own digits in the dirt and
bend his back to the spade till the sweat
runs freely and his bones aelie. An hour
or two given to this each day will enable
him to accomplish more the remainder of
the day at his.regular business, and supply
him with new life, health and strength,
making him feel a vigor to which lie is un
accustomed without such exercise. If the
members of the houseliold find an opportu
nity to try their hand at the ljower garden,
they will catch a bloom upou their cheeks
from the beauties around them that uo ar
tificial dyes can rival, and make their days
in the land many and happy.
The picture which Mr. Washburn drew
in the House ou Thursday of our navy is

! A Permanent Cure of Gravel of twelve
YEARS STANDING—Stone passed
AND TO HE SEEN.
Burnside. Conn., Dec. 11. lsw.
Dll. IIf.lmiu>ld—Dear Sir: It is with much
pleasure that 1 write you upon facts respecting my
self. 1 do not know hardly how to express myself.
I have been for the hot ten or tw« he years the
greatest sufferer man could be and live; but more
sometime- than others. The complaint was the
• Kidney.-” and - Bladder.” i have been sometime*
from twVlve to fourteen hours, and wanted to make
w ater every minute, but could not. Have con lilt
ed doctors,* both in Massachusetts and this State,
and taken pills, I may say, by the quail, also liq
uored medicines, blit found no rclicl from any, and
got worse the last six months. 1 w as so that 1 could
scarcely get about. 1 could not rest night or day.
It would soon have been “all up” with me if J had
not seen your advertisement in ‘ The Berkshire
j Coui ioi” headed -Kidneys.” I read it through and
thought I would try it i purchased a bottle, but,
mind you. had not much laith in it Why should 1,
w hen 1 had been trying so many thing- and cost me
so much ? Well. 1 began taking it. mid before 1 had
■ taken the Hist bottle I h it bad; but 1 finished it and
g»»t another. By the time I took half of the second
! 1 still got worse (apparently). When I walked it
seemed as if inv right kjdney w a- falling from its
place, and 1 fell really bad. i felt so, before I had
tluished the second, that I had made up my mind it
was of no use trying any more—and all this time
the ••Biichu” \vu* doing its work, but 1 did not
know it; so I gave it up and went to Hartford on
S ituiday to see one of tike be-t doctors in the city.
He said it was the neck of the bladder, and I should
have to undergo an operation. He gave me med
icine, and 1 went home quite downhearted. On
Sunday I w as unable to go to church. 1 had not
taken any of hi - medicine, but on my return eontln
! a dc.-irc to make water, but could not. About one
hour alter this 1 tried again, with the same result;
but the next time 1 look the vessel it was the same
as turning a lancet ami stopping it off again. It
| w as so tor three times, and the third time there was
i something came through the passuge and struck
against the side of the vessel. 1 examined it. and it
is the ugliest stone or gravel you oversaw, cov
ered over with little pelces which collcted together
It looks the color of a mud turtle, and is as hard as
a flint. So you see the“Buchu” was doing its work
although I was feeling so badly. I procured an
other bottle thinking their might he some wore be
hind, but since that has passed, which is eight
weeks ago last Sunday. I have been as well as ovei
I w as in my life. 1 have the stone securely wrapped
and those who have seen it in this place are sur
prised. I cannot tell you all, but this is a true story
of u)v ease, and you are welcome to make such Use
of my name as you think proper. I am prettv well
known in Berkshire; also in Connecticut. The ad
vert i»t*iucnt saved me Why not publish more:
The Springfield Republican U a wide-spread paper,
If anv one wishes to see this wonder, they can do
so. 1 could write all day, but think I have said
enough this time, so I remain vour ever well w isher,

a superintendent and matron ot boarding-schools

many a" poor child, suffering more from weakness
than from habit, may be spared punishment that is
(uot knowing it as a weakness instead of a bud
habit) most unjustly inflicted upon them Thank

may be alike benefited. I am res pec tl ally yours,
