The River of Time,
BY n. r. TAYLOR.

o, wonderful stream that River of Time,
As ii runs through the realms of tears,
With faultless rhythm and a musical rhyme,
And broader sweep and a surge sublime,
A. it bends with the Ocean OF Years.
Ho~<hc winters are drifting the flakes of
snow
And the summers like buds batween.
And the year is the sheaf-so they come and
they go
On the rivers breast, with its ebb and flow,
As it glides in the shadows and sheen.
There's a magical Isle up the River of Time,
Where the soitest Of airs are playing:
There's a cloudless sky and tropical cline.
And q song as sweet as vesper chime,
And the Junes with the roses are staying.
And the nume of the Isle is the Long Ago,
And we hurry our treasures there:
There are brows of beauty and bosoms oil
snow
There are heaps of dust-but We loved them SO,
There are trinkc,s and tresses OF hair.
There fragments of song that nobody sings.
And part Of an infants prayer:
There's lutte unswept, and a harp without
strings.
There are broken vows. and pieces of rings,
And the garments the she used to wear.
There are hands that weaycd, when the fairy
shore
BY tho mirage IS lifted in air,
And we sometimes hear through the turbu-
lent roar,
Sweet voices we heard in the days gone before,
When the wind down the river is fair.
o, remembered for age be the blessed Isle,
All the day of her life Till night
When the evening comes with its beautiful
smile,
And our eyes are closing to slumber awhile,
May that "Greenwood" of Soul be in sight.

From the Progressive Age.
One Hundredth Anniversary
of the Military Settlement Of
Fort Point.
(CoNCLUDED.) !

The best description can give Of the
Fort is one furnished by the late Joseph
P. Martin, Esq, revolutionary soldier,
prepared by him more than 80 years ago.
He gathered his information largely
from one who had lived in the family of
Col. Gold,hwait, while he was comman-
der of tho Fort.
at was a regular fortifcation, four
square with flankers, with block house
in the centre. 1t was surrounded by a
ditch Is feet wide at the top. aud five
feet wide at the bottom, and probably s
feet deep. The outer side of the ditch
was 24O feet, and the breastwork with
in the ditch 90 feet. A block house
was erected within the Fort Al feet
square with fankers SO feet on the sides
In the centre ofthe ditch were palisadocs
quite around the Fort. The block house
was of square timber, dovctaled at the
corners. II Was of two very high stories
the lower story used as barrack; the
upper story ju.ted over the lower 2 u
or 3 feet. This space was covered by
loose plank, easily taken up in case of
necessity. In this room were 10 or II
cannon. The roof was hipped with a
sentry box on the top. The houses of
the officers were situated between the
Fort and the bank Of the river"
This Fort. though cheap and slender
affair compared with the one now be-
ing built on this river, was sufficient for
the object of its erection. 1t put an
cffec,ual and final stop to those preda.
tory iucursions of the Indians which had
greatly annoyed the inhabitants of the
coast west of this. The same year in
which this was built Quebec was taken
BY Gen. Wolf, and the Canadas fell into
the hands of Great Britain. French
power upon this continent was broken;
and comparatively little inconvenience
from the Indians has since been suffered
by the citizens Of Maine.
A garrison was constantly maintained
at Fort Pownal until the revolutionary
war. Gen. Jedediah Preble, with a
force of about 100 men was first placed
in command. He appears to have been
a highly respectable and valuable man.
He was native of Wells-began life
as a mariner-but by force Of character,
he pushed his way to the highest sta
tions in society. Both in civil and
military life he SO distinguished himself
as to inscribe his name upon the page
of history. He was the father of Com
modore Edward Preble, still more dis
tingsished man. So far as l have been
able to learn, he administered affairs.
while in command at the Fort, so as to
secure the respect of the country. He
closed life Of great activity and USE
fulness at Portland 1907, at the age of
II.

the men of 1859 will not look back upon
us with some such commisscration for
our darkness, and for the infilicities of
our condition, as we now feel for the
men Of 1859? The march of improve
ment is onward and rapid. When or
where it shall reach its summit, it is not
for us to know.
Be it our concern to act we'll our part
during the brief day Of our life. Cher
ishing devout gratitude to God that
our condition in life is so much more
desirable than that of the generations a
century ago-let US aim to make the
condition of our posterity more elevated
and happy than our own.
Long before another century shall have
passed away, we shall havo finished our
earthly task and have gone to our award.
May we SO work while day lasts, that we
shall meet the appreciation our Maker
and Judge, and enter upon a life Of end
less bliss.

For the American.
The Village Bell.
Hark to the village bell,
1t tolls upon our ear.
Hark tis the rising knell
OF death that is so near.
And when hear its tone.
So mournful. sad and low,
1t speaks Of one that's gone.
That's left US here below.
To toll, and work, and strive.
To battle with the world,
To suffer and to live,
Till death from "His" hand hurled,
Shall free us from our pains
And give us joy above.
To be with him who reigns
Forever. through his love. 80

y LAWYER DurY.-Upon the question
how far counsel may properly go, in de-
fence of a bad cause, the New York TINES
lays down as an axiom, that
There is just as much of moral limit to
the efforts of lawyer as there is to any
other of life. All he can is not the rule, but
all he can conscientiously, justly, honorable
in views of the facts, interests, circumstances
of the occasion. His tact is subordinate to
truth and goodness. His profession is
secondary tc his agency and accountability
as Il moral beng. And before God and
man, if the lawyer use his place and power
to clear Il guilty wretch he is as morally
culpahlo as il he Were to give him the
facilities of escaping from jail.

A Cruel Word.
A cruel word, how harsh it CRATES,
How jars the loving ear,
See the grieving lips it makes,
The sad, the silent tear.
Oh! see the heart, the trembling heart,
Wait earnestly and long.
And swimming eyes reluctant part
From beloved form.
True friendship strong, that sacred tie,
Once circled within its fold.
The joys and hopes. still clustering high,
I, Their hearts, although grown cold.
Alas alas that naughty pride,
Should cause so great griet,
Yet onward rolls the fiery tide,
Nor brings to them relief.
Be careful then. and let your trust,
In friendships truth be strong,
Be ever sure, you're not the first
To propagate a wrong.

The London Medical Times publishes a
valuable statement made by NJ. Armand, of
the Fourth French Army Corps, respecting
the condition and surgical treatment Of the
wounded in the recent battles in Europe
Ir speaking of the effect of the new prolec-
tiles, the writer remarks -
1.-The armies now engaged both use the
new fire arms, the ball of which deviute far
less after striking an object than the old
spherical balls. We must therefore, expect
larger proportion of eomminuted fractures.
Hollow and explosive projectiles being also
proportionally more employed. the artillery
fighting has become more murderous. Alto
gether we have therefore to expect greater
proportion of fatal cases among the wounded
than heretofore
