A lonely mourner, who fingered late,
Though the grave was closed, the turtlay straight,
And earth was earth's forever;
Out from the church yard path he passed,
And stood where the dead had loitered last,
While the crescent moon her radiance cast
On the river.
And ever and ave. with the self-same song,
The mighty waters rolled along
'Twixt the banks where the willows shiver;
Through childhood's laugh and girlhood's sigh,
While life drags on and old men die,
To the ocean, whose name is Eternity,
Rolls the river

unnumbered lives and an amount OF suffering
not to be computed. 1t challenges trial, and con-

keep it on hand as protection against the early

which are easily met at first, but which become
incurable, and too often fatal ii neglected. Ten

be without it. ~ a safeguard TO children amid

On the right sits grandfather Lang, whose
locks have been whitened by the SHOWS of
nearly ninety winters. From his lips it is our
privilege from time to time to listen to the
tales of hardship and suffering of the early
settlers of Maine before the time of stages and
railroads, when it took longer to go to Boston
and back than it does to California to-day.
His wife's father, Isaac Smith, was the first
W hite man that ever wintered this side of the
Ticsnic Falls. Hespent the winter at Broom
field with party of Indians, and lived and
hunted with them there. Palmyra is a farm
ing town, not as large now as it was before
the Maine Central road was built, at which
time three taverns were not enough for the
travel between Bangor and Skowhegan. The
snow-c capped top of Mt. Katahdin, 80 miles
away is clearly seen from here.
