A YES'S SPEECH. .^'.Xbo people of Massachusetts do things up in style, and among otber things the naming of a town. It appears that Gro 1 ton Junction has become large enough for a town, and after getting an enormous crowd together and having a good time generally, in which such men asj. Judge >Uowley, the historian, and many other distinguished men took part, the name of .Ay.er, after the great "Medicine Man," was solemnly adopted. Dr. Ay er deliv? ered the following speech upon the occa? sion. He said: ? Ladies and Gentlemen:?On the Wost ern coast of Scotland, where it slopes into the Irish Sea, a river, rising on the moun? tains of the inner land, winds down among the hills and empties into the .Frith of Clyde. From remote time it has been called Ayr, from an old Scotch word "Ayry," meaning an eagle's nest? the river of the eagle's nest. Near its mouth and a contiguous harbor, long stood a hamlet which became a royal burg, or town named from the river, and now about one-third as large as Lowell? the city of Ayr. For more than a thou? sand years it has been noted in the histo? ry el Scotland. During tho wars of fiobert Bruce it was one of his resorts, and was especially favored by him be? cause, he was there cured of leprosy.? Oliver Cromwell made it ono of tho depots and headquarters of hie army in his attack upon-Scot land,, and one of his old forts is now ihe Citadel of-Ayr. . .JBut above all its distinctions, Ayr was She birth-place of the poet Burns. And what a poet! What a voice has he given to ail the endearments of home 1 How he has hallowed tho cottage and all it covers?weans and wife, patches and poverty, beans, barley, ale, hardship and the poor man's toil. How he wraps with .tenderness whatever he names, even his black leagues of pasture, the stubble-field, ice, snow, sleet, rain, brooks, birds, mice, thistles and heather. His Bonny Doon, John Anderson, my Jo John, Auld Lang Syne, and Highland Mary, roll round tho world in ever ringing symphony with what ie purest and best in human nature. His songa woo and melt the hearts of youth and maidens, bring solace to tho sorrowing and courage to the overbur? dened by their lot. His inspiration has set tho affections to music in strains that are immortal. No other ono man ever made a lan? guage classic, but he has rendered that lowland Scotch a Doric dialect of fame. Tho name of his home and hie beloved river Ayr was lifted on the wings of his pathos, and now the approaching traveler yearns to roach the spot his genius has sanctified. Along tho borders of tho sea in a par? allelogram, and surrounding the town, is fc^Qunty of the same name?Ayrshire. It would weary your patience to hear the history of my ancestors from one- an cient'John of Ayr, then John Ayr, down through "tho centuries to this Ayor now ?before you j through their vicissitudes of }>overty and plenty?of fortune and mis ortune; how they have intermarried with England, Ireland and Scotland, and later with the Americans, who are an ex? cellent mixture of them all. . My friends,?you have chosen the name X inherited for your town with an extra? ordinary unanimity, and have thereby conferred an honor upon me, the proper acknowledgment of which I do not feel folly able to express. But I beg you to be assured that it is appreciated and that it will be gratefully remembered with a living interest in your prosperity while ; life remains to me, and, I trust, beyond that by my children after me. If this name-ha& become" noted among ?hamany that are-worthier around you, that is duo to its publicity. May I be permitted to state whence that came? Until within a few centuries all the civi? lized nations of the globe wore pent up On. the Eastern continent. Two or three hundred years ago they leaped over into this; fow and fearfully at first; then raoro and more, but always in their settlements timidly hugging the Atlantic coast.? Within the last two or three generations they have burst out as it were, and over? run these vast continents of the West. Now they aro scattered here and possoss these measureless strotches of mountains and valleys, hills, plains, forests and prai? ries, with the boundless pampas and mountain rangos of South America. For? mer generations lived in villages and towns, thickly settled together, where physicians were plenty and near at hand. Now, th'e people aro widely scattered jn many sections of these oiany .countries. For great numbers the timely treatment pf physicians cannot be had ; Over largo tracts of country good or competent phy? sicians cannot be had at ail. They can not visit patients enough many, miles apart to live by their profession, nor can they carry medicines enough with thorn on horseback for their requirements. Hence has arisen in these modorn times, a necessity for remedies ready at hand, with directions for their use?a present recourse for relief in tho exigencies of sickness, when no othor aid is near. It is & new necessity consequent upon tho changed conations of human life?a want I have spent my years in supplying, and I will tell yon something of its extent. Oar laboratory makes every dajr some 630,000 potions or doses* of our prepara? tions!. These are all taken by somebody. Here is a number equal to the population of fifteen cities as largo as Lowell, taking thorn every day .(for sickness keeps no Sabbaths) nor for once only, but again and agajn 3rear after year, through nearly one-third of a contury. We all join in the jokes about medicinesas wo do about the Doctor's mission to kill, the clergyman's insincerity,- and the lawyer's cheating. Yet each of these labors among the most serious realties of life. Sickness and its attendant suffering are no joko, noither is the treatment of tbem. This system of transportable roliof, to bo made available to the people, must keep its remedies fresh in their memories. This is done by advertising. Mark its extent. An ad? vertisement, taking tho run of .the news? papers with which we contract (some 1,900 annually,) is struck off in such num? bers that when piled upon each other flat? wise, like the leaves of a book, the thick? ness through them is sixteen miles. In addition it takes some seven millions of pamphlets and twelve millions of circu? lars to meet tho publio demand for this kind of information. Our annual issue of pamphlets alone, laid solid upon each other, make a pile eight and a quarter miles high. The circulars measured edge? wise reach 1,894 miles, and these asser? tions are matters of mathematical cer? tainty. Whatever tho estimation in which these publications may be held here, tbey reach the firesides of millions upon millions of mou who do treasure and regard them, and who in their trials do heed the counsol they bring. Not. only over these Western conti i nents, but throughout that other land so little known to you, under our feet, the Australian Continent, there are few vil? lages as large as this which are not fa? miliar with the name yon have chosen, and employing tho remedies that bear it. Thus, gentlemen, have I striven in my hnmble sphere to-render some service to my fellow-men, and to deserve among the afflicted and unfortunate some regard for ; the name which your kind partially hangs : on these walls around me. We may look I forward with confident hope to the re? nown you will gather under it, and the I prosperity, which there is reason to trust the future has in store for you. Situatod ! as you are here on one of the main arteries between the West and East, between the great industries oi the plough and the spindle, you must aid in their exchanges and thrive with them. Soon these cban ! ncls will bo opened wide and* pouring through your precinct streams of men and merchandize that will need your fur I therances and must contribute to your ! growth. I Located here in the centre of New England, to what dearer spot can you turn that men inhabit? Beginning' life rieb with the honors of your mother town, whose influence through her schools and her scholars is of itself an inheritance, with such examples as Lawrence, Bout well, Hoar, what may you not hope for of usefulness in the councils of the state and nation? [ Contrast our condition with that of the European nations, alternately torn. and impoverished with wars, credit it as you I may to the better education of the people, ' and you will realize tho value of the ex ample old mother Groton has set you, so worthy ot your ambition to follow. Build schools for your children and talent to teach them, then intelligence and integ? rity in prosperous and happy homes will be your sure reward. Associated as you have made me with your weal or woe, I wish I might be al? lowed to contribute from my moans, such as they aro, something towards this first foundation t>f the public good. Gontlcmen, 1 have detained you too long. Oppressed with tho fear, that I do not deserve the distinction you bestow, I pray God to make me worthier, and to sroilo upon you with His perpetual bles? sing.?[Adv. The True Story or Cinderella.?The story of Cindorella is luiniliar to every one, and yet thera are few that treasure it up as in any respect true. But it has a foundation and a reality that really need no fairy godfather, with her pumpkin and her rats, to make an entertaining talo. It is as follows : In about the year 1730, a French actor by tho name of Tbevonard, lived in Paris. He was rich and talented, but he had no wife and we may believe ho had never loved any ono, but gave all his affections to those ideal characters that he could represent so finely on the stage. Ono day as he was walking leisurely the streets rf Paris, he came upon a cobler's stall, and his eyo was attracted by a dain? ty little shoe which lay there waiting for repairs. His imagination began imme? diately.to form tho littlo foot that must fit such a littlo shoe. He examined it well, but only to admire it more and m?ro. On going to bis house ho soemed haunted by tbo little shoo. He fancied it tripped over his floor; ho could hear tho music of its tread?in fact, there was nothing of all his elegant treasures that seemed to him half so beautiful. Ho went to tho stall of the cobler again, but could learn nothing in regard to tho owner of tho shoo. This only increased his eagerness, and made him more deter? mined to find out to whom it belongod. Day by day he was disappointed, but ho was not discouraged. At last the littlo foet needed tho shoos, and Thevenard met the owner, a poor girl whose parents belonged to the humblest class. But tho ardent actor thought not of caste or family. His heart had al? ready pronounced tho littlo ono his wifo. He married the girl with no question of what peoplo would sn}% and felt joy enough in hearing tho troad of the light, nimble feet through tho silont rooms, to pay him for tho sacrifice of the pcoplo's approval. This is tho true story of Cin? derella, and from which tho romance sprang. ? Tho editor of the Grand Junction (Iowa,) Headlight advertised that he would take "a good dog in payment for a year's subscription." Tho noxt day 23 dogs were taken to his office; and, two days afterward, a sfiore or more of far? mers, living at distances of from eight to twenty miles, appeared to subscribe for the papor, tendering dogs in paymont. And, to cap the climax, the Mayor of tho city has notified him that a tax of $1 must bo paid on every dog owned in the place ! ? An inch of rain falling upon an aero of land weighs about 100 tons. Good Advice.'?Mrs. M. E. Wilson, in tho Plantation, gives an excellent set of rules, which will enable her sex to enjoy health and long life, if duly and carefully observed : 1. Walk often in the open air, broath ing deep and long, always with the mouth closed. 2. Never sit, stand or lie in a current of air when you are fatigued or warm. 3. Never go to sleep without some cov? ering over your feet and lower limbs. 4. Never expose any part of your body unaccustomed to exposure by a change in your dress. 5. Never go out of a crowded or warm room, in tho open air, without a shawl or other wrapper around you. 6. Keep a window or door open in your bod-room day and night. 7. Never go to bed with oold feet. 8. Never allow the foot to remain damp. 9. Adjust your clothing so as to give froe and easy movement to every momber of your body. These look like little things to you, I know, but on them hang your health, and with it your happiness, the happiness of those who love yon?yoa, your very life; and you must not scorn them for their apparent trivial nature, but remember that tho vast universe is made of little things, that millions of atoms form the little drops that makes the deluge, that waters the earth. Many thousand little brooklets make tho great rivers that flow into the mighty ocean. Myriads of sand grains compose the earth?innumerable atoms of matter make up the vast starry worlds, each of which, in its turn, sheds its feeble light to make up the beautiful canopy of heaven?while man, the last, the crowning piece of the great creation, the image of his God, is physically a mass of little cells L Early .Rising.?A young farmer found he was getting reduced in circumstances. He went to a friend to ask his advice. This frieud with a grave face, said, "I know of a charm that will cure that; take this little cup, and drink from it every morning of the water you must get at such a spring. But remember, you must draw it yourself at five o'clock, or the charm will bo broken." The next morning he walked across his field, for the spring was at tho farthor end of bis estate, and spying a neighbor's cows which had broken through the fence, and were feeding on bis pasture, he turned them out and mended the fence. The laborers were not yet at work; when they came loitoring along after their proper time, they were startled at seeing their master so early. "Oh !" said he, "I see how it is; it comes of my not getting up in time." This early rising soon became a pleasant habit; his walk and eup of water gave him an appetite for breakfast; and tho people wore, like him, early at work. He soon acknowledged that the advice his friend bad given him was as good as it was simple. Swearing.?The most truthful and straight-forward article on this digusting habit that we have ever read, is the fol? lowing, whose author's name we are not acquainted with : "It is no mark of a gentleijjuii) to swear. The most worthless and vile, the refuso of mankind, the drunkard and the prostituto, swear as well as the best dressed and educated gentleman. No particular endowments aro requisite to give a finish to tho art of cursing. Tho basest and meanest of man? kind swear with as much tact and skill as the meat refined; and he that wishes to degrade himself to the very lowest level of pollution and shame, should learn to be a common swearer. Any man has talents enough to learn to curse God, and imprecate perdition on follow men. Pro? fane swearing novor did any man any good. No man is the richer, or wiser, or happier for it. It helps no man's educa? tion or manners. It is disgusting to the refined, abominable to tho good, degrad? ing to the mind, unprofitable, needless, and injurious to society. Wantonly to profane His name, to call His vengeance, is perhaps of all offenses the most awful in the sight of God." ? The Nashville Union and American vouches for the troth of a s'tory, the im? portant facts of which are the following: A Confederate soldier wont to Brazil at the close of tne war, taking with him his wife and two daughters?one 10 and the other 12 years of age. He was an edu? cated man, having been a preacher in Montgomery County, Tennessee, but ap? parently his was not the sort of ability which makes men rich in such a place as Brazil, and after a while ho became a bankrupt. According to Brazilian law the children of a citizen who cannot pay his debts may be sold as slaves, and the money thus obtained is applied in pay? ment of his obligations. The unfortunate Tennesseean had become a naturalized citizen of tho empire, and in accordance with the law both bis children, now near? ly grown to womanhood, were taken to the slave-market and sold to the highest j bidder. The price paid was $1,200, by returning which tho father can buy them back again. General Lee's Death Caused By Bro? ken Heart.?Drs. Ii. I. Madison and A. T. Barton, attending physicians of General Lee,' contribute to the Richmond and Louisville medical journals a detailed account of his late sickness and the treatment pursued. They sunt up the case as follows: "General Lee 'died of a broken heart, and its strings were snapped at Appomattox! In ref? erence to the proximate cause of his death, we are of opinion that it was due to passive con? gestion of the brain, not proceeding far enough to produce apoplexy or effusion. Iherc was no positive evidence of acute softening of tho ce robbrits, or of embolism. There was no pa? ralysis of motion or sensatiou, bnt marked de? bility from the first. His symptoms, in many respects, resembled concussion, without its at? tendant syncope. The treatment was based upon the above diagnosis." ? As soon .as the Congressional Chaplain closes his appeal to the Throne of Grace, there is a clapping of hands all over the floor. It is the way the members have of calling pages to their side. Every Congressman begins bis day's labor by giving an order to a messenger; hence the clapping is universal and uproarious.? "Well, that beats me," said an elderly gentle? man in the gallery, with mud on his boots which looked as though it had been brought from the other side of the Potomac; "I didn't see anything in that prayer worth cheering."
