The Union Safe.

There has been a great Union Saving meet
ing at Bangor. Bangor Isl great place, and
the meeting was so large that it took besides
the President, one hundred and fifty Vice Pres
idents to manage il. Bangor is the great cast
tern prop of the Union, and according to its
numbers no place can boast Of 50 long list OF
patriotic men. There Is Dudley Leavitt, the
collector, Jones the Postmaster, Jenkins the
tide waiter. and long list of others, foam
ing and trimming with patriotism. 1t is
place where the air Is too pure for corrupt poll
ticians, where spcculations in timber lands were
never heard Of, AMI bad banks never discount
ell their rag currency, and where Accadian
purity. peace and innocence rcside.-thc meet
ing was an extensive one. They always have
great things at Bancor,-a great many great
men were there. and the people were electrified
with the great things they said and done. Judge
Hathaway, who LEFT some time ago the sweet
rCpose Of the judicial seat, presided. Hon.
Geo. Evans, supposed to have died some years
since, made the great speech. The young man
who prcsidcs over the columns of the DeWoerat
the same man who won an Immortality of fame
by speech in Democratic State Convention,
has gone into extaces over the affair, and the
whole proceedings OF the meeting are to be
printed for the odi6cation Of the people. We
speak for 10 900 copies for gratuitous circula-
ton. Hoorahl Bangor has spoken. The Union
Is safe, and we breathe easier.

frequent visitor ut the dead house. Satur.
day afternoon she came, accompanied by q
younger daughter, bringing miniature like
ness of the lost. The miniature represented
the features of young lady Of unusual per.
sonal attractions. A lively beauty danced
in her youthful, fresh and rosy face an cx.
preston of u nature almost angelic bcamcd
In her eyes. With this the mother and sis
ter came seeking the original among the
dead. The lost one was found, but the fair
face was burned away, the 1.-THE and graceful
form was now shapcless trunk, which was
recognized only by tho fabric Of the dress she
wore, small part Of which was not Destroy
Il. The mother threw herself on tho re-
,ains; she aroused herself and gizh upon
he miniature, and from that her eyes again
wandered to the remains Of her child She
,inted, and was borne away. Those pres
mt turned away hcartSick. Those who had
TODD firm through NIL until now, melted un.
i their sympathy awakened tears that fell
kc summer rain.
