Belgrade Locals.
The farmers of this section are busily engaged
this season in hauling white birch to Belgrade
Mills, for which they receive five dollars per cord.
The season has been favorable for them on &C.
count of the depth of snow and the mldness Of
the winter. This birch is manufactured into
spools by d. e. H. w. Colder. They also buy
birch at Mt. Vernon, Vienna and other places,
and have it hauled here to be manufactured.
They also have large quantity come on the cars
to the depot, and it has 10 be hauled from there
to the mills q distance of six miles. This fur
nishes labor for a large number of farmers and
their teams. The Messrs. Colder have purchased
this winter about two thousand cords of birch
This, together with the hauling, will distribute
quite q sum Of money among the farmers and
tesmsters in this vicinity. Business inq quite lively

Centennial Board.
A meeting of the Centennial Board of Maine
was held at the Augusta House Thursday
evening. There were present Hon Joshua Nye,
Hon. C. II. Haskell, Coils. F. E. Shaw and
F. N. Dow, with the Secretary, Judge knight.
Everything is progressing favoraby, so far as
Names show in the great exposition is concern
ed. The Commissioners and Secretary will soon
be on the ground to see to the proper arrange
meuts Of the articles during the exposition. The
Maine headquarters will be open for the conven
fence of visitors, and the sending of information as
to desirable routes of travel and hotel accommoda
tons.
We think the Commissioners are wise in estab-
fishing headquarters the grounds, and they
could do nothing more acceptable to the visitors
from their owl State than to keep one of their
number there all the time to extend hospitality
ADD courtesy to the Maine visitors. Besides, there
are thousands of the sons of Maine throughout
the country who would take pride in old Names

A Leap-Year Story.

The Austin (Nevada) ReveiEe gives the
lollowlng account of a breach of promise.
1here Is young gentleman in this town
who Is looked upon as a sort of woman.
hater, and who, it was believed until recent.
ly, would not marry the handsomest and
best woman on earth if every hair on her
head was Koh-i-noor diamond. On ac.
count OF Leap Year some young ladies con-
cluded to put up a job on this young man.
and arrange it for one of their number 70
propose marriage to him, while the Others
watched the fun through holes in the par.
tition.
Ihe gentleman was invited to call at the
mouse OF the young lady who was to do the
proposing, and on the designated evening
ne was there, seated in the parlor. while
accessories to the plot were stationed Of
their key-holes. After some desultorv con.
Versation about the weather and the clnb
party, the young lady suddenly on her
knees before the gentleman, and in endear.
ing terms declared her passion:
Darling" she said, "I long have loved
thee, but the cruel conventional;t;as of
society have forced me to conceal nv mas.
sion. Leap Year, which gives to oppressed
women one blessed privilege, is now here.
and | take advantage of it to tell thee 7
adore thee. Look not thus coldly on me.
dearest; spurn me not from your presence,
See me on my bended knees imploring that
you will not say me nay. Grant me but
one kiss from those ruby lips; fold me to
thine arms and say that thou wilt be no;no
mine, only mine, forever and forever"
Contrary to expectation, the gentleman
displayed not the least astonishment during
the taregoing recital, and when it was con.
cluded he went ever to the stove, and fold.
ing his hands under his coat tails thus re-.
piled:
I'm told your dad owns a hundred
shares of North Carson, and that vou've
got too brindle bulldogs in your own right
and without membranes; likewise. I am
informed, that you are a good hand at MAX. |
Ing slaPjacks and biscuit; that you don't
chew gum, which, by the way, is powerful
expensive these hard times. In view Of
these facts consent, and leave it to you to
name heday."
Horrlied, the lady tried to explain that
1t was all joke, but the gentleman would
not accept any such explanation, and
threatens a breach of promise suit unless
she fulflls her promise, in which event he
will summon the people as witnesses.

In Love with his Half Sister,

The New York Star tells this interesting
story: An incident containing all the in.
gradients Of romance occurred on the
last trip of the steamer Rotterdam tn this
port. Among the cabin passengers were a
Mr.. Van Seller and Miss Maria Renter
They were engaged TO be married, and. TO
give the event an air of romance, had de.
cided to have the ceremony performed ON
board the shipin mid-ocean. On the evening
preceding the day fixed for the wedding.
while the lovers were on deck viewing the
magnificent sunset and conversing on the
plans they had arranged for their future
happiness, as well as indulging in reminis-
cences of other days, it transpired that the
young lady was the young mans halfsister.
1t appeared from explanations given to the
passengers that Van Seller left his home in
Amsterdam when only 10 years old, ship
ping as a cabin boy on board a vessel bound
for the West Indies. He returned to his
native place after lapse of five years, but
finding that his father had died during the
interval, and his mother married again, he
shipped once more, and never returned
home until about two months ago, when
he was unable to find any trace of his
mother. During visit to Rotterdam, he
met Miss Reuter-, and an attachment at
once sprang up between them, which re-
suited in an engagement of marriage. In
talking about their early days, they acci-
dentally discovered their relationship to
each other. 1t has been arranged that
Miss Reuter- will return home on the next
steamer, and that her brother being rich,
will provide for her. This story is vouched
for by Mr. Nieuman, who was passenger
on the vessel.

ness may be resumed or changed, pros
perity may follow adversely; but dishonored
character is seldom retrived. Fallen Chris.
tlans, who make shipwreck of their faith.
are not often restored, like Peter, but
perish, like Hymeneus and Philotus. In
such cases, failure is fatal and forever. be-
cause its victims are given up to their own
ways.
But in our times Providence is making
so many great opportunities, and Christian
llie has such noble incentives, that our past
failures should operate as powerful motives
to higher aims, and to the most untirine
exertlon IN wider circles of experience and
OF practical work. 1t is grand age to live
in for Christ and for his church. And the
very troubles of the country and of the
period may point out the ways of the
highest success to many who are now
staggering under the depression of tenn
porary failure.-C Christian at Work.

the Polish ladies have certain "hauntine
Ioveliness about them. The only time
when man really yappreciateswhat ''haunt-

WAY OF THE WORLD.--A thief is con.
temptible being, of course; but in many
cases hard want force men to sin. Poverty
is fearful strain on a mans honesty.
The poor man who lives an honest life
is entitled to more credit than the man of
wealth. The one is forced to fight against
temptation, which comes to him under the
gulse OF want and necessity; the other has
no motive except greed or ambition to
tempt him from the path of rectitude
yet when a poor man sins against the
laws OF the land, how few sympathize with
him, or seek to shield him from the
penalty incurred. He has no friends and
the heaviest penalty that can be inflicted is
considered light enough for him. When
prison doors close behind him, hope is
shut out forever, for he knows the pardon
ing power will never be asked to interfere
IN his behalf But the rich criminal is
looked upon as simply unfortunate; he is
lionized; Justice bows in his presence. an
seems to ask his pardon for the unpleasant
relations which it bears toward him. If he
is convicted, it is an exceptional case, his
sentence is made as light as possible; his
prison life is enlivened by pleasant enjoy.
ment, and cheerful assurance that his con.
finement will be shorts and he soon walks
forth; the recipient of executive elemency.
