“Omer ” said he to him. “for your sake,
I forgive’him. The probity of a Turk is
more solid than stone. Let that Jew un
derstand thoroughly what a tribunal is. and
also the sentence of a Cadi."
And the Jew paid the Cadi thirty purses.
The latter invited him afterward to em
brace Oilier.
“And to put an end to this after, I am
going,” said he, "to enter it on the great
book.” ,
After having kissed the Judge s shoes,
and the carpet under him. the two parties
thanked him for his equitable sentence and ]
paternal goodness, and left the tribunal.
One door closed, another opened.
The true Cadi entered, splitting his sides
with laughter.
*‘Bv rav bpaitl* woman, I £66 nothing in
the books wiser than you ! If you were a
man, in truth, there would be no ( adi
equal to vou in Constantinople.”
Meria thanked him for his kindness to
her in yielding his own seat, and ofTeied
him fifteen purses of the Jew’s money*.
The Cadi refused, and gave her one!
more purse. She kissed the flap of liis
coat, thanked him, left the tribunal and
returned home before Omer, who had
stopped at the coffee house.
On seeing him arrive from her window,
she began to jest.
“Ah! ah! here is Omer with his tongue
cut off,” said she, stammering like.
“You are mistaken,” said Omer.
She, pretending astonishment, asked
him ;
“What has happened then ?”
"God and the wise Cadi (he is as hand
some as an apple, God keep him from all
harm!) have saved me and fooled the
Jew.”
“Is the Cadi handsomer than I ?” re*
plied Meria, showing him the JO purses.
Omer wept for joy, and thrice kissed
the brow of his skillful spouse. Seeing
how wise she was, lie loved her three
times more than before; lie listened to
her good advice, attended closely to his
business, and acquired great riches.

‘ap«rk**irr|inirsli n principle.”— Maine
Standard of June 3d, 1870.
The rulers in the democratic camp have
now been for more than two weeks vigor
ously beating the bush to liml some indi
vidual who is willing to become bait on
their hook, that peradventure, gudgeons
may swallow and be drawn into their
game-bag. The essential qualification
such an individual must possess, is—he
must not be a democrat. They have not
yet succeeded in discovering any such as
piring martyr. The difficulty is they ask
too much; they offer to merely swallow
one republican, and demand of such re
publican that he swallow their whole nau
seous concern. Such illilierality won't
succeed.

made up your mind to the loss, to have the
man himself, six months afterward, call in
upon you and deny the fact. Vet such was
the case in Springfield, Mass., one day last
week, and although the landlady has pretty
nearly gone crazy about it, Anton Ethinger,

COMM rlXCEMEST AT BOWDOIX COL
LEGE.
The Close of fommrncrmfDl Week.
Bri nswick, July 14, 1&70.
Class Reinion.
The class of ’66 held a reunion at the Ton
tine Hotel last evening. A grand supper was
prepared for them by tbe famous proprietor of
the house, Mr. II. B. l’inkham. The meet
ing broke up about 12 o’clock with loud cheers.
Class Day.
The morning opefied bright and fair. A
large crowd of both young and old arrived in
town on the early trains. The hotels are con
sequently crowded to overflowing. Among
the arrivals at the Tontine are lion. Win. I’.
Frye, Hon. John A. l’oor and a host of other
celebrities. Mr. Pinkham has provided (or
them in the best manner, and his tables afford
a display of every delicacy which the market
affords. This morning the Phi Beta Kappa
Fraternity held their annual meeting at Adam's
Hall when several new members from the
present graduating class were elected. After
the meeting the Alumni formed in procession
and were escorted to the church by the Ger
mania. after which they listened to an address
by Prof. W. fit. Barbour of Bangor, which
was in every respect a line effort.
Afternoon Session. '
Before the hour of two, the Congregation
al church was again filled to "its utmost ca
capacity by an audience who were eager to
hear the oration and poem. The oration was
delivered by Wm. K. Spear of Rockland,
subject “Power.” He said that power was
the attribute of every existence and illustra
ted its presence in the works of Nature. He
combatted the naturalistic idea that man was
evolved from nature. Said that nature was
but the necessary condition to life, holding
the same relation to it that the material ob
ject does to the sight. Take away nature
and there could be no life. Take away the
material object and there could be no sight.
Yet neither one creates the other. Each is
virtually dependent upon the other. Each is
entirely different from the other. Said that
physical grography did not exert a perma
nent influence upon man, illustrated by ref
erence to the condition of China. Said na
ture was controlled by physical forces, brutes
were guided by blind instinct, but man had
power to govern himself, and as he has this
power he is not dependent on circum
stances. Said that it was man’s duty to de- I
velop himself, and that development consist
ed in being true to God, true to his fellow
man and true to himself. The oration was j
an able and scholarly effort.
Next in order came the Poem by A. G.
Whitman ot Auourn. we give me iohow
ing beautiful extracts:
Four years we’ve meet within yon classic walls :
Here on the closing scene the curtain falls.
Through labyrinthic shades we’ve sought the light,
l util upon our vision lair and bright.
With mingled hues auroral beau tic* dawn,
And robed in light, the ro?*y-tinge red morn
Dispels the shadows from the Eastern skies,
And tints the clouds with rich Vermillion dyes.
With a-pirations high we sought the palm,
And Time, with bu>y hand, dispelled the charm,
Till on the common earth «e walk again,—
Seniors with students, Freshmen still with men.
The Poet next refers to the Court of Jus
tice, where punishment was often meted out
to Freshmen :
Old days om^more we pass in swift review.
And many curious scenes again renew.
The gloomy hall of Justice we recall.
The frowuing rostrum and the blackened wall;
Hope, axe and pulley, blanket, pail and horn,
The ghastly, grim ami ghostly skeleton.
* * * * * * *
A stern decree the hoary judge imparts,
And many gentle hands and heavy hearts
Surround the culprit, and inspired by dread
He takes a queer position on his head ;
When m the name of father, son and daughter.
Into his trowsefs leg they pour the water.
* ******* j
Alas! that solemn court is known no more,
And its impressive walls are whitewashed o’er.
And Freshmen now are trooping unconcerned,
wiicre once our altar fires with iucense burned.
Our Lares and Fenates sought no more,-—
Our pride and glory in the days of yort—
To dark and secret places have been borne,
Their power departed, and their glory gone.
The following passage has reference to tin*
expulsion of several students during the past
term on account of class troubles :
But there were others, brave and noble boys,
Who loved to blow a horn and make a noise.
Or spill a pail of water so ’twould hit
A loud-mouthed Freshman loafing under it —
But these were foibles and we’ve yet to learn,
That ’twas expedient or just to spurn
Our earnest efforts and t«. sternly send.
Them to an exile that will never end.
Just at whose door the ghastly plunder lies.
We don’t assume to say, ’twoulu be unwise.
There’s rottenness in Denmark, and we pray
That Time and Fire may purge the filth away.
* * * * * * * * *
At length our college years are passed away,
Their hopes and liieir’cndearing memories,’
Their disappointments and their sad regrets,
Are graven on the tablets of the past.
Records that ever seem to stand above
The grave of Time,—sad monuments.
As o’er the buried past to-day we chant
The requiem of four more years,
Tombed with the countless ages gone before.
How fitting then that in their memory
We raise a monument, and sculpture there
The epitaph. These days can never die.
As pass away the swiftly hurrying years,
Let each its impress leave upon the mind.
Thus being wedded to a deathless spirit,
The dying years in turn will live again.
*'* • * * * * *
But as the crimson hues of Autumn tinge
The forest leaves with beauty lovlier fur
Than art can give or genius can conceive,
A transient beauty yet surpassing all
The charms bright spring or joyous summer boasts,,
.So let us hope that these our early days,
May to u rosy twilight sweetly melt.
After the above exercises at the church the
erowd despersed to the Old Oak Tree, where

RECOLLECTION'S OF .1011X HURRA Y.
In a late number of the Gospel Banner, j
Isaac Wheeler of Amherst, known as Father j
Wheeler, who died recently at the age of 91,
was spoken of as having been tho last man ;
living who had seen and heard the Rev. John
Murray. In the Springfield Republican he is
alluded to in the same way. This is a mis
take.
As Mr. Murray is held in reverence by a
large sect in this country, as the first promul
gator of their peculiar doctrines here, it may
not be uninteresting to state, that my father,
Nathan Weston, heard him preach in Boston
frequently. This was at various times when
my father was in Boston, between fifteen and
twenty-three years «f age, and staying at the ;
house of Mr. John Fillebrown, a brother of j
the late Col. Thomas Fillebrown. He was \
also introduced to him when he was calling
upon Mr. Fillebrown, who was one of his
parishioners ; and lie remembers Mr. Murray’s
saying very impressively, during that visit.
“O, that men were wise, that they understood j
this, that they would consider their hitter 1
end 1” He also saw him at the Grand Lodge, j
where he was treated with great attention.
He lias a lively recollection of him, and says
his person now presents itself to his imagina
tion as strongly as that of any one he ever
knew ; and that he was a man to be remem
bered. My father at first recalled him to his
mind as one not so old as he finds he must
have been at the period when he saw him;
and he accounts for this by saying, that his
i appearance indicated great vigor, in conse
i quenee of which he seemed younger than he
was. He further describes liini as eloquent,
and preaching without notes in a strong, pow
erful voice. L. M. Divuisox.

The eastern section of the State is jubilant
over the result of the boat race, which has
taken place on the St. Croix river between
the four-oared crews of the St. Stephen, N.
B., and Calias, Me., rowing clubs. The
i crews engaged had previously rowed upon
\ the Fourth of July for a purse offered by the
! city of Calias, upon which occasion the Amer
ican crew easily won. The Knglisli crew im
i mediately challenged the victorious crew to
row tlu'iu upon the morning of the 7th
over u three mile course. The Americans
again won. The men composing the latter
| crew were Charles Davidson (stroke), John
Whiteneck, John Wallace, George Davidson
(bow.)
Intelligence comes of the death of Capt.
John Curtis of Brunswick, at Bermuda, July
3d, of typhoid fever. The sad intelligence
reached his home after his wife had left to
join her husband, having heard of his sick
ness. Capt. Curtis was one of the. most
prominent ship-masters of Brunswick, and
universally esteemed.
A correspondent of the Whig says YVater
ville has reason to feel proud of her institu
tions of learning. With the University and
Institute situated in the village with an excel
lent system of public schools, none of her
children need grow up in ignorance. Vet it
is a disgraceful fact, that a large proportion
of the children of foreign parentage can nei
rcad nor write. Scores and even hundreds
of these children are growing from childhood
to manhood under the very shadows of these
institutions who will never take the first step
towards enlightenment, whose education will
be rather in the school of intemperance and
evil. This fact, alas, is apparent in many
towns.
We see it stated that a number of small
pieces of gold have recently been taken from
Sandy river, just below the falls at New Shar
on. by Mr. II. H. Beard. That there is gold
in the river at that place has long been I
known, as small particles have been picked
lip by several individuals at different times;
but whether it can be obtained in quantities
sufficient to pay for milling lias not yet been
ascertained.
The editor of the Maine Farmer saw re
cently in the bands of one of our Augusta
merchants, a two dollar bill on the Kennebec
Bank, Hallowed, which 'failed' as i( was then
called, now known as •‘suspended." nearly
fifty vears ago. The bill is dated Oct. i,
]S24. is payable to A. Nourse, and signed by
,1. Bohinson, 4'ashler, and 1). Y\ . Warren.
President. It is very much worn.
The Whig says Timothy Wall's boy. aged
nine years, stole 873 from a bureau in bis
father's house in Bangor and went on "a
good time" with it, buying'all sorts of knick
kaeks. hiring horses. ,Ac. He distributed it
liberaljy among his companions, as a preven
tative from exposure. A policeman recover
ed 823 of the money.
We are glad to be able to congratulate our
friends, the publishers of the Daily Kennebec
Journal, upon the successful results of their
enterprise. The paper lias been published
six months, has proved itself a public and
business necessity, and may now be regarded
as an established institution of our city. We
hope it will continue to receive a liberal and
paying support.—Maine Farmer.
The American says the North Ellsworth
Farmer's Club will hold their first exhibition
