~ will never marry, never said
William Blake to his father, a patient,
weary-looking old man, with thin gray
hair streaking across his bowed head.
He answered, reflectively, "Well, |
think you're right; there are men
that can manage women, but your
mother has been too much for me-"
cit seems half selfish for me to go
off and leave you alone with her; but
what can one do, with work that
wants planning, and that continual
scolding in ones ears?'
''It's the crying fits that master me,
though" said Mr.. Blake, "when she
sits sniff.sniffing into her apron; look
ing at me that reproachful, till Pm
half brought to believe that / have
committed murder, or something in
my Sleep"
II sometimes think, do you know,
father, that Ill those times it is that
she is sorry for her temper; is, in fact,
repentant.
"It's an awful unpleasant, unfair
kind of penitence, then; but / don't
know; she's been buzzing in my ears
SO long that I get fairly bothered
sometimes, and don't feel clear about
anything"
"I'll tell you what you must do
when she gets past bearing, just came
off to me; 1t won't be far, you know"
$50 will, my boy; SO will"
Accordingly, the next morning,
when Mrs. Blake began the day with
prophetic indication OF being what
she called "upset," her husband pre-
pared to escape, greatly to her dis
pleasure. She had resented Wills
removal and "setting up for himself"
but then, as Mr.. Blake remarked,
"she couldn't be any crosser than she
was BEFORE" so he departed in COM
parative comfort.
Wills room was poor little place.
He was not earning much as yet, and
he said, "anything does for ones
SELF" with dcsolate air that some
what contradicted his philosophy of
loneliness; still his work improved
wonderfully, and in that he was al
ways happy. Will was designer of
mouldings.
Mr. Blake found him busily stitch
ing ct an old coat.
ssTurned tailor, WHIP" he asked.

spot in Westminster Abbey, where
the body of DR.. Livingston is depos-
tied; brought by faithful hands
over land and sea, here rests David
Livingstone, Missionary, Traveller,
Philanthropist. Born March 10 1913;
died May l, 1873, at Chitambo's Vii
lage, Ulala. For thirty years his
life was spent in an unwearicd effort
to evangelize the native races, to ex-
plore the undiscovered secrets, to
abolish the desolating slave trade of
Central Africa, and where, with his
last words, he wrote: 'All l can add
in my solitude is, may Heavens rich
blessing come down on every one
American, English, or Turk who
will help to heal this open sore Of the
world" On each side of the tablet
are also the following Inscriptions:

Is not shut in the grave:
The valorous spirit freed
Live in the vital deedl
Marble shall crumble to dust.
Plinth of bronze and Of stone,
Carved escutcheon and crest
Silently. one by one,
The sculptured lilies fall;
Softly the tooth Of the rest
Gnaws through the brazen shield:
Broken. and covered with stains,
The crossed stone swords must yield:
Mined by the frost and the drouth,

-Smitten by east and west.

How They Feel About 1t.

WASHINGTON, June 49, All of the Balti
more and Washington papers to-day have
editorials warmly praising the celebration
of yesterday and commenting in the high
est terms on the generous treatment of the
southern visitors by the people of Boston.
One OF them expresses the feeling here,
when it concludes an article by saying:
This hand-to-hand reunion of north and
south in the old Cradle of Liberty on such
cordial terms will do more to restore good
feeling than whole years of argument or
defamation" a distinguished ex-Con-
tederate officer, after reading the report
of the celebration, sprang up with the ex-
clamation, "God bless Massachusetts NV
heart is made large enough to take in the
whole state" Southern men are particu-
larly jubilant over the fraternal greeting
extended their brethren.

Democratic State Convention.

The Democrats of Maine met by their
delegates at Granite Hall, Augusta, June
22d. The Convention was called to order
at II o'clock. by Hon f. f. Pillsbury,
Chairman Of the State Committee, who
called to the Presidency, Gen. Samuel F,
Anderson, Of Portland. In taking the
chair, Gen. Anderson made stirring
speech.
He thanked the convention for the honor con-
ferred upon him by the repre- sentativeS of Il
party that for the past few years has had but
little to do with the government of the State,
but shaped its destiny in the outset and built it
up from a feeble province into Il magnificent
commonwealth They call us Bourbons, the
speaker continued, they say we have learned
nothing and forgotten nothing.
The word 1ankee was once applied as a term
of reproach to Il little band of men who resist
ell the oppression of a great nation. That term
OF reproach has now become the proud title OF
every American citizen, and we may convert
the eplthet Bourbon into a political watchword
which shall be sign OF victory. We have but
little to learn from the republican party of the
present day, and have never forgotten that pub
lie officers are trustees whose first duty is to
the people and not to themselves.
The democratic party has never elected Il
president who consorteu with jim Fisks and
Boss shepherds, nor congress which plumber
ed the national treasury, nor officers who We're
accused OF burglarioGs entry into public deposit
tories, for the purpose of destroying evidence
of fraud. We have learned nothing of repnbli-
can miSrule and forgotten nothing of democratic
honesty.
We take issue with the resolutions adopted
by our opponents in Portland. Nay, the reso-
lutons take issue with each other In one
breath they declare that taxation must be equal
to be lust, and in the next for Il protective tariff
the most I'm Just form of taxation. We take
issue with this resolution and we take issue
with the statement made by a Maine Represent
tatlVe in the same convention, that the demo-
cratic party propose to assume the rebel debt
and pay for the emancpaed slaves The dem
ocratic party is on record on these points and
the man who ignores that record either at
tempts to mislead the people or is grossly g
norant. The democratic party stands by the
constitutional amendments, and by the settle
ment of the questions OF the war as it is. and
demands now a tariff for revenue and an hon
est and economical administration Of the gov
eminent.

appointed rs Secretaries t. f. Sweet

A Happy Occasion.

The great centennial observance in honor
gone. 1t was an occasion rich in memo
ries, great in the record of deeds of pat
riotism, and greater than all in the eXhi-
bition of national good feeling for which
it was the opportunity. The recent ia
mentable and fratricidal strife had lett a
crop Of bitter remembrances, which the
lapse of a decade had not suilced to eX-
tinguish--the usual legacy of civil strife
The old misunderstanding We're hard to
be eradicated-the Old bitterness still lin
gcred. There was needed, most of all. a
better knowledge of each other-that cleo
trc thrill OF feeling which comes OF clasped
hands-that magnetism OF regard which
is born Of meeting chances. These came
with the celebration OF last Thursday
Thousands OF Southern men who never
before stepped upon the soil of New Eng
land had their very souls stirred by the
warmth of the greeting which met them
The warm cheers which saluted the men of
Maryland, Virginia and South Carolina,
and the showering wreaths which 1ell
from windows and balconies, were Bos-
tons summer greeting to their southern
guests.
And those guests remembered Il century
when n rut4i,b fnrnipl CnlIji.,y-
lently paraded the streets OF Boston. and
the bayonets of King George were at the
Threats OF the people, that the men OF the
south hurried to the aid of Massachusetts,
The palmetto and the pine stood fast to-
gether then. Some of the guests bore the
name and the lineage ofthoSc who marched
from Virginia to aid Massachusetts, in the
day of her trial. Ii is not strange that the
men OF Virginia and Massachusetts looked
beyond the dark and troubled days OF the
recent strife to the time when their fathers
stood shoulder1o shoulder, and remember
ing this again cIasned the hands OF friend
ship. The occasion that bears such fruit is
precious beyond computation And we envy
not the man who can read OF it without
thanking God that he has lived to realize
the fact
Thus it has Glanced that these patriotic
obseryances OF the events of the nations
birth are traught with new and grand
Significance. They Will in future mark
not only the era OF the republics indie
pendence, but OF 4 peoples reconciliation
And with the grand Centennial of next
year at Philadelphia, it is believed, will
vanish almost the memory Of the evil
days agone, and leave only the reality Of
nation united, powerful, peaceful and
haDDy.
