The author SAYS that ''Noah, a preacher Of
| righteousness, was the first ship-huilder God
suggested to him the idea OF the ark. gave him
its model, and prescribed lis dimensions. ma
terials, decks and fyeights', He goes at length
into history of the building Of this gigantic
vessel. and shows that even larger ships were
built more than two hundred years before the
Christian Era.
He then traces the history Of ship building
through different ages down to our own times
The foundation Of the Brush navy was laid
in the early part otthe sixteenth century, by
Henry the Eighth, and he was followed in the
next century by Louis the fourteenth. who
had become jealous Of the naval power Of
England.
The first vessel bull, in the Massachusetts
Colony was a bark of only thirty tons, and the
second did not exceed one hundred tons. AT
ter the revolution, the business OF ship build
ing was revived in Medford, and up to the
present year 3S2 vessels have been built. with
an aggregate burihen of ore hundred and thir-
| ty-three thousand two hundred and seventy
five tons, aud valued at nearly six million of
dollars. The greatest number built at any
one yard is l49; by any one builder, S4 and

vateer during the war of 1872 la 1915, one
quarter of the ship builders in the State were
employed in Medford. who built one third OF
the tonnage and one hall in value Of all that
was built in the State.
In 1917 the Falcon was built. and il was
/ the first vessel ever built IN Mediord on TEN.
! peranee principles not drop Of rum was
used by the builders, nor was any used at the
christening. although previous 10 that time il
was thought impossible TO construct or launch
a vessel without the use Of ardent spirits; she
was from the yard Of T. Magoun, and belong
ed TO W. Lewis and the bailder. The frs,
vessel built in 1902 was the brig Mount Etna.

briggs Rambler of 3 Is tons, and Reindeer of $50

Thou art gone he true and brave
And the JOY OF victory hath died upon thy grave
Mas. HsaAss.
Mourning at Ashland
To that fair home,
With uniolded pinions.
Death hath come;
His shadow has darkened
Its cheerful light,
Shrouding in gloom
Skies fair and bright.
He hath quenched the fire of Hopes clear eve
And with folded wing, she hath dropped TO die.
Mourning at Ashland
Chllhood's sweet tone
Is 'reft OF its mirth,
And sad hath grown,
Tear gems glisten,
In meek young eyes,
For the sire that blessed them
Unconscious lies.
A mothers voice mighthave soothed those tears
But hers was the grave of early years.
Mourning at Ashland
That fathers eye,
That had looked with pride,
In hours gone by,
On TIE manly form
And the eagle glance
That brightly flashed
As "a beam on a lance"
Is filled-is dim with hot gushing tears
Deaths shining mark" was his loved of years.
As years sped on,
He had marked with joy,
The fearless truth
OF his noble boy,
Happy 10 find,
Minds richest Jewels
Shrined brightly there.
Youth ialrest promises all were kept
In manhood-but now in death he slept.
Mourning at Ashland.
Sobs and tears
From the mother that watched
Der his earliest years,
She who with sweet,
Low vesper hymn
Had lulled him to rest
As day grew dim
Her stricken soul is now far away
Among hours when her lost was child atplay.
She thinks Of his first
Dear whispered word,'
Sweeter than carol
Ofjoyous bird;
How around her neck
He entwined his arms
And found sweet refuge
From all alarms.
And her spirit wandereth on--on--on--
TO his youth--his manhood-iorever gone!
Full many a flower
From her household band
Was blooming now
In the better land.
Full many voice
That her soul had thrilled
Grew mute-for the spoiler
The heart had chilled
Mother, look up! in that far. high home.
Thou shalt reap in jov-there death shall not
come.
Where loves sweet words
Round his dying bedl
Did fond heart pillow
His aching head?
Was his life breathed out,
In that calm still hour,
The TwilIght-when most
We mourn deaths power!
Did dear ones speak of a meeting best.
Where the mourner is glad and the weary restl
No where the brave
And the noble die,
A mantle of glory
His sole canopy,
Amid the battles
Loud clang and blast,
Was his last word spoken,
His death throes past.
Nobly he fought-and nobly he died,
With martyrs love, and a soldiers pride.
