4 year later Frank Haywood and Mabel
Stanford were united in wedlock, amid the
congratulations of all their friends.
But the strangest and best part of it al
was, that among the wedding guests was
Lewis Stanford, the brides brother, who,
instead of having perished on that night,
as was supposed, had, by the aid Of a box
which had been thrown overheard among
some other things, managed to keep afoat
till morning, when an outward bound ship
had picked him up; AMI, after eonsidera-
bic difficulty, he had succeeded in getting
home in season to attend his sisters we'd
ding.
Thus their cup Of happiness was full to
overAowing, and in their great joy the
crimes and misfortunes of the evil minded
mate were forgotten.
Years afterward a flock Of young Hey
woods would gather around their mother
and ask her to repeat to them the story Of
that fearful ordeal of life, when thei1
father saved himself from an ignominious
death by the powers ofventriloquism which
unknown to his accusers, he possessed
and used with such satisfactory result.

MORNING.

See, the time for sleep has run;
Rise before or with the sun,
Rise thy hands and humbly pray
The Author Of eternal day
That as the light, scrcnely fair,
Ilumines all the tracts Of air,
His sacred spirit so may rest,
With quick ming beams upon thy breast,
And kindly cleanse it all within
Frcin darker blemishes of sin
And shine with grace until We view
The realm it giids with glory too

present exhibition is far superior in all depart
ments to what it has ever been before. We
would like to give an extended account of all
the exhibits, for they all well deserve mention,
but at this time it is possible to mention only
some of the most prominent features re-

the arrangements are not yet completed, there

The tables are loaded with apples as good as
were ever seen. The prominent exhibitors are

Lang, Brooks, John Hanscome, Biddeford, and
smaller exhibitions from Somerset, Piscataquls
and Aroostook counties
The display of pears is admitted by compe-
tent judges to be the largest ever on exhlol ZION
in Maine. They come lchiefy from PenopScot,
Kennebec and Lincoln counties.
The most attractive lot of pears are those OF
Samuel Rolfe, Esq, of Portland, which are fol-
lowed by those of Henry Ingalls,, Wiscasset,
Joseph Taylor, Belgrade, Alfred Smith, Mon
mouth, and George B. Sawyer of Wiscasset.
The table Of grapes presents one of the best
sights in the hall. Those of.Peter DeRocher
of Watervlle are very fine native grapes; also
those of J. A. Varney, North Vassalboro.
The principal exhibits of foreign and natives
are by A. S. Sawyer, Cape Elizabeth, George
B. Sawyer and Henry ingalls,, Wiscasset.
Having noticed some of the chief exhibitors
of fruit we turn onr attention to some of the
general appearances of the hall.
AS we enter most interesting sight meets
our view Just at the right is the exhibit of
the Portland Stone Ware Co., which well re-
pays the careful attention of every visitor.
There is every. description of stone ware, from
plain flower pots to cream colored antique ware
and the most exquisitely carved vases.
The tables extend lengthwise Of the hall and
are loaded with such delicious looking fruit
that one can hardly believe that they are ''the
products of the gardens and orchards of
Maine." more tempting sight. could hardly
meet our eye.
The whole is admirably set off by the ar
rangement of plants and flowers. The tables
are decked with flowers and varously orna
mented.
At the further end of the hall are displayed
the hot house plants of the well known firms
of J. Vckery of Portland, and J. Varney &
Son of North Vassalboro. In the gallery oppo-
site and either side, in cases on the walls, are
tastefully arranged cut flowers the work of
Mrs. George B. Sawyer. Wscasset, Mrs. A. B.
