Sophia Baker.
THE BARBARA FR1EToHIE OF ARoosTooK.


s,looested by reading an article in the Stnr of A,
gust 18th, entitled "The Barbara Frietchie OF
ArooSto0k.'
Born in seventeen eighty. five,
Sophia Baker is still alive
Still sound in body and in mind.
She shames to-day's weak womankind.
She came, now sixty years again,
From Massachusetts down to Maine.
With husband and with children three
Into the wilderness went she.
With birch canoes-not steed nor steam
To cross and follow lake and stream.
And through the woods homely pack
Held all their goods strapped on the back.
Their bed at night the messy sod,
Their roof the starry love of God.
Yet in her heart glowed all the worth
And pride and faith of Yankee birth:
At once an humbl pioneer,
And yet the proudest ladys peer,
Who worshiped God and sought to raise
Her children in His sacred ways.
just on the British border belt.
But in her heart rose all the higher
Her countrys love, the patriots fire.
And when the clouds of war arose,
Right under the British lions nose,
With scanty means but loving hand
She wrought the flag of her fatherland,
And on its Independence morn,
Fearless of neighbors' hate or scorn,
The starry banner she flung abroad
In iege to country and to God;
The penalties of treason fell;
They thrust her man in a felon's cell;
But when they threatened her goods and home,
They met matron straight from Rome,
Who, Drawing the mob and the British throne,
With but broomstick held her own.
Immortal woman of Frederic town,
Let Sophia Baker share your CROWN
OF patriot heroines not the least,
This Barbara Frietchie Of the East.

A les,sr R.le than Party.


In an article in reference to the then
approaching election fox Judge. pub
lished by us two days ago, we deprs-
Gated the introduction of party spirit
into it. We ventured even further,
and expressed our belief that the pub.
lie opinion OF all Glasses, races and
parties had fixed upon gentleman
for the distinguished position upon
higher and better grounds than any
consideration of mere party ascend
aucy. We are very much grahfied
that this antioip .tion was realized in
the election. The choice OF Major
Shaw was concurrcd in. yesterday. by
Republicans OF nll political hues. aud
by representatives of tha oolored ruce,
just US cordially AZ by Conservatives.
This is very much to their credit, aud
We note it III au evidence of good
Judgment aud good feeling fur
above the teachiugs Of their party
ana political instructors It was
a practical repudiution of the bigp,ed
policy which would apply the
narrow party nioasuro 70 the deci-
sion Of merit and fitnoss. for uu Office
which shoald know no party, race or
condition among men. 1t is most
hurtful rule, and one which. 10y sabor-
dinating talent, requirement, expert
ence and integrity to lower cousidera-
tions tends to degrade the public SER
vice Tue members who rose supe-
| rior to it are entitled TO the commendn-
ton and thanks of the country.
