The incident which 1 am about to relate, occurred in the early history of Biddeford. A man Who then lived on the farm now occupied by Mr. H , was one autumn engaged in felling trees at some-distance from his house. His little son, eight years old, was in the habit, while his mother was busy with household cares, of running out into the fields and woods around the house, and often going where the ■father was at work. One day, after the frost had robbed the frees of their foliage, the father left his work sooner than ttsttrf, and started for homei: Just edge of. the forest htf saw a. very curious pile of leaves. Without stopping to think what, had made it, he cautiously removed the leaves, when what was his astonishment to find his own darling boy lying there fast asleep 1' Twss but the work of a moment to take up the little sleeper, put in his place a small care fully replace the leaves, and conoeal himself among the nearest bushes, there to watch tho result.

Women are too commonly adjudged as verdant in all but purely womanish affairs. So philosophical student of the sax thus judges them. Their intuitions, or insights, are the most subtile, and if they cannot see a cat in the meal, there is no cat there. In coanaeling a man to tell hit trouble to his wife, we would go farther, and advise him to keep none of his affairs secret from her. Many a home has been happily saved, and many a fortune retrieved by man's full confidence in his " better half." Wo* man is far more a Beer and prophet than man, if ah* be a fair choice. As a general rule, wives confide the minutest of their plans and thoughts to their husbands; having no involvements to screen from them. Why not reciprocate, if but for the pletsure of meeting confidence J We are certain that no man succeeds so well in the world as he who, taking a partner for life.mako her the partner of ail his purposes and hopes.— What is wrong of his impulse or judgment, she will check and set right with her almost universally right instincts.

In our view there is hardly a class of pests in modern society—and they are numerous—so superlatively contemptible as that class known as tattlers, or meddlers in other people's business. We dont admire a thief; we have no affinity for gamblers ; we abominate drunkards, and have no respect for misers ; bat either of these are first-class gentlemen in comparison with the inquisitve, jealous-minded tattler, who goes mousing about in a garb of social respectability, poking his nose or his fingers in the affaire of his neighbors ; and seizing upon every trifling circumstance that comes within the wide swoop of his remorseless curiosity, for the purpose of making capital against those whose Iharacters he cannot understand, because it tspure and above impeachment. These mischiefmaking busy bodies are simply an unmitigated nuisanoe, and should be frowned upon by all sincere lovers of social peace and happiness.— The man or woman who can find no better employment than tattling, had bettor jump into the nearest body of water and become food for respectable fishes. In that way the finny tribe would gain a little in their commissary department, and society would be immensely purified. O. COLLINS. STEWART PIERCE, G. M. HARDING, a: MORSE, CHAS. DORRANCE, CHAS. A.

CABDirr.—A few passing remarks about this place, as we travel along, will render the route we have ,taken the more interesting. Aside from its being the most important commercial town in Sotuh Wales, it is eelebrated as being the place where Jestyn ap Gwrgan, Lord of Morginwg, (i/«., Jestyn the son of Gwrgan, Lord of Glamorgan,) built for himself a strong fortified castle, surrounded with embattled walls, with five entrance gates. This castle was a spacious and stately edifice, and was called Caerdaff, (fortress on the Taff,) hence Cardiff; it bacame the residence of Princes. It was in this castle that Robert, Duke of Norma*- dy, eldest son of the conqueror, was confined for J« years, by order of his brother William Rufus, and Henry I, who were jealous of his power and influence. In IMS, when garrisoned by Royalists, it was closely besieged for three days "by the troops of. Oliver Cromwell, who commanded in person. When possession wss obtained through the treachery of a deserter from the garrison, who Cromwell, after having entered the casUe, caused to be hung,as a warning to his own troops, thus paying the traitor in his own coin. Nearly the whole of this very ancient building has given place to the now more modem mansion of the Marquis of Bute, to whose father, (now deceased), the flourishing town of Cardiff owes much for its prosperity, the Marquis during his life time having laid out probably half a million pounds, sterling in the building of docks, warehouses snti other conveniences incidental to a first class seaport. The present Marquis is about 20 years of age, and resides at the castle with the Dowager Marquise, his mother, and it is said, will, on his coming of ago, carry out further improvements projected by his late father. The undersigned would respectfully an nounce to the public that he has opened March 28, W-tf.] FORGE AN EXTENSIVE BAKERY IN PITTSTON adjoining tbe Butler House, where he will be prepared at all times to supply families and parties with Bread Biscuit, Cataes and Pies, of all kind, on ehnrt notice.

Fitsmorris, were summoned by a force of 300 cavalry and 400 infantry, assisted bj some partisans of the county, the whole under command of Colonel Morgan, the Parliamentary governor of Gloucester, to surrender; this demand was complied with, the garrison surrendering at prisoners of war on the 10th of the tame month. The town and castle afterward! remained in the poseesiion of the Parliamentarian! until IMS without interruption, but in May of that year, during the abaence of the governor, Col. Hughs, it was surprised and taken by a force under the command of Sir Nicholat Kemys, Colonel of horse in the King's service. This event so exasperated Cromwell that he proceeded against it in person, at the head of a Considerable force of cavalry, infantry and artillery. He entered the town on the 11th of May, 1643, and immediately demanded the surrender of the castle, which was directly refused, and the little garrison, of 160 men only, defended it with the utmost courage and determination, but after along resistance, the little band, worn out with watching, and almost famished with hunger, even then refuting to turrender, bad hoped to escape by a boat which they, had provided at a last resource for the purpose. In thit they were doomed to dissppointment, for a soldier of Cromwell's army had swam tha river, cut the moorings, and brought it away with him.

Thus you see that this little act of civility to a stranger was the first round in tbe ladder by which that boy climbed to benor and wealth.

At one period of my life, I was a dreamer and castle builder. Visions of the distant future took the place of the present duty and activity. I spent hours in reTerie. I suppose I was seduced in part by physical debility. But the body suffered as much as the mind. I found, too, that the imagination threatened to inflame the passions, and that I meant to be virtuous, I must dismiss my musings.
