The Lumber.Men Of Maine.

There we're shouts in the crowded streets,
And a martial music-strain,
and banners waved, and loud drums beat,
And the men of the city came out to greet
The lumber-men Of Maine.
A thousand strong and more
From woodsand streams came they;
From where the Kennebee's fountains roar,
And the swift PenObscot twists the oar,
And PasssmaquOddy Bay.
Strong knights Of the aRo and pole,
Kings of the raft and saw,
By brawny limb and dauntless soul
By the breath Of the forest air made whole
= And the use Of natures law.
--.-- --- r g r- -esH
They marched with steady tread
Toward the aeld Of death aud pain,
Where the splinterod atumps Ofths trees were
red,
And rivers waited to raft the dead
Of the lpnber-men Of Maine.
And thousand men forsook
The axe and the setting-pOIs,
And the forest camp by the swollen brook,
And in squads the vacant places took
To keep the torn ranks whole.
Dusty ana no. and worn
The regiment oSms to-day,
With battle gag all soiled and torn,
And dozen footless heroes born
Behind on sTumbliug dray.
Through the eity's double tide
Slowly they marched again,
With look of modest manly pride
That made them tall az they marched beside
The thrOngs of common men.
But hundred strong and three
They came from the battle Plaipi
The others win never fell the tree,
Or sing and dance when the raft hOats free,

given has equal in the West as a performer

which pleases the ear and goes directly to The
heart OF every one.
Several gentlemen AMATEURS of rare musical
ability, will contribute TO the entertainment;
and on the whole, the concert will be one that
has never been excelled in this city.

The villain made a nice calculation for a thing,
having placed paper and pine sticks at the side door
leading into the Hall up stairs from the Engine room
and then set fire to it. But good luck would have
it, the paper failed ignite the the fire was
smothered out and it only schorched and smoked the
door a little.
There is place about the building that fire could
have been communicated with better prospect for
burning down the building efectualy, than the

Swedenborg strongly insists upon the necessity 0
