The Wonderful Dream.

Yes. yes. sartin ! Yes, yes-1 be-
l,eve in Dreams raid old Silas Tafton
He took auolher Whit at his pipa, and
then added: ''One of the greatest spec
ulations l ever went into came of a won
derful dream. III tell you about it,"
You remember, some Of you. about the
great land speculat;ons here in Maine
thirty years ago. Poor men-a. very few
Of tI.cm-were made suddenly rich and
rich men were made suddenly poor. !
was living then in Grew One day old
Sam Whitney. of Oxford, stopped at our
place, and showed us map of a new
town which had been laid cut in Saga
dahoc. On the map it looked beautiful
There were brooks and lakes, and broad
plains of pine and oak. and streets all
laid out. and spots for churches and
schoolhouses marked out in proper array.
| had cousin living down that way, and
| concluded to go down and take look.
| found the town of Ellenville, which
old Whitney had shown me on his map
to be wild, worthless tract, all rocks
and swamp; but on the edge of this
tract, in another township, my cousin
owned piece of good land, and l bought
a hundred and fifty acres of it, and made
me an excellent farm and for that pur-
chase l was never sorry.
Meantime Ellenvlle was nearly all
sold in hundred acre lots The excite
ment was at fever heat, and people
bought without once coming to look at
the land they were purchasing Bat by
and by the new owners began to look up
their property, and you can rest assured
that they were blue set, when they
were reassembled on that territory
Within all the limits of the mapped-out
township there was not an acre that
could be cultivated. On the side that
bordered my farm it was craggy ledge
of rocks; and beyond that to the east
ward the land settled under the mud and
the water of sunken slough. Some of
these lots had been sod as high as one
pound an acre, and a few of them even
higher than that One poor fellow,
named John Twist, from Vermont, had
paid one pound an acre for a lot that bor-
dered on my farm. On the map it had
been set down as magnificent pine for
est, with river upon its border, upon
which was superb water power. John
Twist bought it and paid for it, and when
he came to look for it, he found it to be
mass of barren rocks, with here and
there clump of shrub oak and a few
Norway pines. and for river he found a
water course which tumbled melted snow
over the crags in the spring, and which
was dry most of the year. did not see
the poor fellow when he came to survey
bis property, but can imagine how he
felt. 't ar e-sr
After while, however, the excitement
passed on, and the sufferers of Ellenville
turned their backs upon the graves Of
their speculative hopes. On my farm l
prospered. My land was of the very
best quality; my wife was true help
mate my crops were abundant; my
stock thrived, and l found myself with
goodly pile of money tied up in my
stocking. sa
One evening, after our crops had been
man, riding sorry-looking
nag, pulled up before our door. He was
a well.looking man. with sedate and
solemn face, and dressed in black. 1t

Poetry.
Our Forefathers' Days.
ny nc. SoULH.

Br &c. souLE.
Let Us write of the days when our townships
Lay exposed to the wolf and the bear;
When our roads we're made upon the hillsides,
And dwellings, not many. were there,
As rivers our brooks were then flowing,
Forest shades where the broad sunlight
plays,
o, let us remember our fathers,
And sing of our foreeather's days.
They handled the sword and the musket
'Gsinst Briton or Indian, in fight,
And Liberty gave them her blessing,
For they trusted in God and "the right"
Though handful, the colonies boastcd,
Yet the 'Iion" 'by eagles" was torn.
Till, bowling, it fled from our wild-woods,
The morning that Freedom was born.
They felled down the trees in the forest,
Till garden the wilderness grew;
They turned up the soil with the plowshare.
And cottages eprang up anew.
WomaK1 hands were at work in the farm
GSse,
There was humming Of wheels and of looms
Their music-the songs Of the daughters,
Busy working in unfinished rooms.
Oh . there was not time to be idle,
For life's busy work must be done;
No time for display and for fashion,
No time to sit Down in the sun.
Oh it was by most earnest endeavor,
They tran mitted onr freedom unstaincd
Oh, then, let us always remember
And bless them by whom it was gained.
We're the children Of children of labor
They were sorereigns, toe, of the soil;
Though we may WELD the pen for the plow-
share, ..
And in broad fields Of science may toll.
Then. for aye, we'll remember cur mothers,
Aud write in our grandmothers praise;
The while We remember our fathers,
And sing Of our forcfathcrs' days.
