H ER E is a certain dig nity attaching to the name of New Eng l d ue and , which is as much to the element of home life as to any d other consi eration . It has nourished principle and strength in its young which have led to d ecent f and power ul manhood . Brought up to feel the virtue of right livi ng and right doing at a formative i i ha per od of l fe, the c nces for mature graces and honors are mo r e than promising . They are taught early self denial , self reliance, the d uty of a conscientious regard for the S abbath ’ hi day , and the function of study in raising man s lot among s s fellow . The fruit of this home training and association has been m ad e evident in characters that have graced the most beautiful works in our national literature , that have lifted men upward an d d onward in spiritual and intellectual study, that have inspire I 2 FE O F DEN M N H O M S O N LI A T P . b e n a writings to charm and better the world , and that have e leaven of common sense and moral rec titud e to balance and chasten every community . Thus it is that so many places , humble in themselves , with no bigger concern of commerce than a crumbling flour mill or fi tful . a shoe factory , are familiar names to the general reader ffi They have produced what is higher than the wares of tra c . They have marked ind ividuals with traits and habits that have and stood them well in the halting and struggling ways of life, blossomed characters instilled with the juices of a manly nature . Men with a plan of life . Men with an honest faith in a D w ho ivine Ruler over all things . Men sought the right and ff just in every place and in every a air, and had the moral cour w age to stand by a fair conviction . Men who orked as well as prayed , and hated the idle and profane as they would a thief in who the night . Men prized a home , cherished it, and imbued its young with thoughts of learning and Christian experience . 15 there not honor enough in this for the restful hamlets V ? high up in the New Hampshire and ermont hills The soil , hard , rocky and ungrateful , is chary enough of its favors, and bread is truly to be won by the sweat of the brow .

JOSHUA WHITCOMB, YANKEE FARMER, AT THE LYCEUM THEATRE. They gave out gilt-edged programmes at the Lyceum Theatre last evening to celebrate the 70th performance, excluding matinees, of the piece which forma the setting for Mr. DENMAN THOMPSON’S delineation of an old Yankee fanner, yclept Joshua Whitcomb. People have recently been finding out that such a piece was running over there, where pieces have never run of late years, except into the ground. Aman would say to you, “Have you seen Uncle Josh?” You would reply in the negative. Straightway he would broaden into a grin—the grin of tickled recollection—and say, “Go." “What is he like; what is the piece about?” “Oh, never mind about the piece and the plot, and all that critical flummery that keeps a man asking himself if he ought to laugh; just go and roar at him; he’s a Yankee farmer.” After a week or two a man stops you in the streetand says, “Do you know that Bergh has been laughing?” Having seen that Knight of the Itueful Countenance rise in the Court of Special Sessions to demand thepunishment of the father ot a half-starved family, who was working a horse with a sore ear, an “unheard-of cruelty.
