THE PORTLAND OBsERvAToRY-Thisb building
was 67 years old last month, being built in
1907 by the portland Monument Association"
The stock was divided into one hundred shares,
of which Mr.. Lemuel Moody took twenty-four
shares. The monument was built under the d.
rection of Mr.. Moody and was under his
up to the time of his death, in 1S45 From that
time to May 1870, it was in charge of Enech
Moody.
In the construction of the building lumber of
the largest dimensions and the most durable
kind was used, and was obtained within one
mile of the spot. The posts are to-day appar
emily as sound as when the building was first
erected. Tine elevation above the level of the
sea is 227 feet. 1t is 80 feet from the founda-
ton to the upper deck. 1t is 30 feet wide at
the base and 100 tons of stone are deposited in
the lower part to secure its safety in a gale of
wind.
The building is open to visitors from sunrise
to sunset. A charge of fifteen cents is made
for the privilege of viewing the harbor and
surrounding country. In clear weather a YES
sci can be seen thirty miles from the shore,
with q delightful view of the mountains aud
the intermediate country.
1t is at present under the charge Of Capt
Isaac Gillzey, who will be pleased to point out

LOVE AND LABOR.


We die not all for our deeds remain
TO crown with honor or mar with stain;
through endless sequence Of years to come
Our lives shall speak, when our lips are dumb.
What though We perish, unknown to fame,
our tomb forgotten, and lost our name
SINCE naught Is wasted in heaven or earth,
And nothing dies to which God gives birth.
Though life be joyiess, and death be cold,
And pleasures pall d the world grows old,
Yet God has granted our hearts relief,
For Love and Labor can conquer grief.
Love sheds light on the gloomy way
And Labor hurries the weary day.
Though death be fearful and life be hard,
Yet Love and Labor shall win reward.
If Love can dry up 3 single tear,
II lifelong Labor avail TO clear
single web from before the true,
Ihen Love and LObor have won their due
what though we mourn, we can comfort pain /:
what If We die, 50 the truth be plain;
little spark from high desire
Shall kindie others, and grow fire.
we are not worthy to work the whole;
We nave no strength which may save a soul:
enough Tor us If our life begin
Successful struggle with grief and sin.
Labor is mortal aud fades away,
But Love shall triumph in perfect day:
Labor may wither beneath the sod
But Love lives ever, for Love is God.

An Adroit Exnress Robberr.

There was an aCroit robbery of au
express car st Delaware Station, lit
tie hamlet on the Delaware, Lacka-
wanna and Western railroad. The train
stOpped at the station for supper. re-
manning there fifteen minutes. The ex-
press messenger being hungry, locked
the safe, shut the door of the express
car, locked it, and bolted off to supper.
He forgot the door of his car on the
other side of the platform. The robber
remembered it, opened it In q few sec
onds, placed a tie against the car, and
by main force slid the safe-a mere iron
box weighing 21S pounds-tO the track,
closed the door, and lugged his ponder
GUS capture away. Coming TO a high
fence, he pulled down enough of it TO
admit the safe, and after dragging it
fifty yards further pried it open. He
made a hurried examination of its con-
tents with light, and secured So, 900 in
cash and jewelry, leaving nearly four
times that amount in greenbacks, done
up In paper in such q manner that he
could not discover what they we're.
The robbery and examination we're com.
pieted so rapidly that the train had
barely left the station when a resident
of the village encountered a man run
nirg from the spot. A few minutes
later the safe had been discovered be-
fore the express messenger had missed
it, end reflected upon his Ostrich-like
stupidity.

To Destroy Insects.

The Boston Journal of Chemistry says
that hot alum water is a recent sugges-
tion as an insecticide. It will destroy
red and black ants, cockroaches, spi-
ders, chinch bugs, and all the crawling
pests which infest our houses. Take
two pounds of alum and dissolve IL IN
three or four quarts of boiling water I;
let it stand on the fire until the alum
disappears then apply it with brush,
while nearly boiling hot, to every joint
and crevice in your closets, bedsteads,
pantry-shelves add the like. Brush the
crevices IN the floor of the sBirting or
mop boards, If You suspect that they
harbor vermin. If, In whitewashing a
ceiling, plenty of alum is added to the
lime, 1t Will also serve to keep insects
at distance. Cockroaches will fee the
paint which has been washed in cool
alum water. Sugar barrels and boxes
can be freed from ants by drawing a
wide chalk mark just round the edge of
the top of them The mark mnst ha
unbroken, or they will creep over IL
but a continuous chalk mark, half an
inch in width, viii set their depreda-
tions at naught. Powdered alum or

A correspondent Of the Country Gen
tleman reports that nothing viii so thor

The ashes must be sifted on early In the
morning while the leaves are damp, the
branches being turned over carefully,
so that the under sides of the leaves, to
which the young sluSs cling, may get
their share of the siftings. If the night
has been devices, in order to make the
work thorough, first sprinkle the bushes,

What the MormOns WIN Do.

Beadle, a correspondent of the Gin
cinnati Commercial, writes from Salt
Lake City: Under the Poland bill
man convicted of bigamy has an appeal
to the United States supreme court !;
under the territorial statute there is no
such remedy. No doubt the finaI result
will be as the most conservative could
wish while nobody viii be very much
hurt, yet there will be q steady and. in
cressing pressure on polygany, which
will check and put it in the course of
ultimate exit lection. "I occasionally see
a statement IN some eastern paper that
the Saints viii fight before they will
abandon pOlygamys which Is calculated
to make a man smile who knows their
tricks. They have already surrendered
the only tenable ground on which they
ever stood. Two years ago the Mormon
people unanimously voted for a state
constitution forever prohibiting polyga-
my and bigamy, and hints already
reach Us that they are willing to do the
same thing again. Add here is how
they justify such a change Of base In
one Of the voluminous revelations of
Joseph Smith occurs this convenient
clause Nevertheless, if your enehies
come IN upon you that you be not able to
perform these things, then ], the Lord,
viii not require them at your hands,
but We shall be freed from the covenant

form these things; but I, the Lord,
viii still request it Of your enemies
etc. Observe that the Lord, with
that accommodating spirit He always
exhibited towards the Saints, proposes
to let tn II of whenever the Gentiles
make It hot for them, and take the viii
for the deed. " en- the state organiza-

Ancient Rings.

One of the most interesting of the
historical rings that have come down to
our times is the signet one of Mary
Queen of Scots, which is now in the
British museum. The general opinion
Is that this was her nuptial ring when
she was married to Darnley. Another
celebrated ring is the one Queen Eliza
beth is supposed to have sent to the
Earl of Essex, but which, as all know, he
failed to receive. It is of gold, with the
queens head cut on onyx, and is now in
the possession of the Rev. Lord John
Thyme, q descendent from Essexs
daughter. In 1855, In the prison where
John Bunyan was once confined, was
found a ring bearing his initials, 81.
B., and also an engraving of a deaths
head. This ring, after passing through
several hands, finally came into the pos
session of a curate at Elstow, where
Bunyan was born. The signet ring of
Caesar Borgia was on exhibition a few
years ago at n meeting of the British
Archaeological association. 1t is gold,
slightly enameied, with the date ''1503, Z"
and motto on the inside. At the back
is a slide, within which, it is related, he
carried the poison he was in the habit
of dropping into the wine of his guests.
