Laid Up for Pepalrs.

A week or so ago the stean fire engine was
brought out for drill and utterly failed to do
its duty. A mechanic was brought up from
Portland to repair it, and he soon found out
that about half of the upper flues were
badly damaged by rust, three of them being
eaten entirely off and quite a number of the
others just ready to drop to t;sces As no
tools could be had in 'h;7 p,4ce to properly
repair t..s machine it was sent to Portland
last Wednesday, and the foundry ordered to
take out all the small flues tSH in the upper
part of the boiler, and replace them with
copper Rues This will be rather expensive,
but the steamer was not worth anything ut
all in the condition it was in. 1t will prob
ably be repaired by next Monday, and will
be shipped on the first boat after that date

As viii be seen by this letter there are

And the days are r.ah With gold,
And the satin robe Of tbs earth 8 set

Whom tho woodlands wavs in choral seas
And the purple mountains loom,
It Is Heaven to come, with birds and bees,
To the feast Of apple bloom
Tor the gablod roof Of home arose
Ger the sheen Of the orchard snow,
And is ssill my shrine, when storms rcposs
Aud the gnariy branches blow;
And the music Of ehildhood's singing heart,
That was lost in ths backward gloom.
May be heard when tho robins meet and part
At the feast Of apple bloom.
And think, when the trees display crown
Like the gleam Of resting dove.
OF q Eaco that was framed III tresses brown
And aglow with mothers love
At the end Of ths orchard path she stands,
And laugh at my manhood's doom
As my spirit flies, with lifted hands,
To the feast Of apple bloom.
When the rainbow paths Of faded ..les

And the joys of my wasted paradise
Are returning to earth again,
Il Is sadder than death to know how brief
Are the smiles that the dead assume;
But moment allowed, a flying leaf
From the least Of apple bloom.
But golden arch forever shines
In the dim and darksning past,
whers rand again, as day declines.
And the world is bright and vast:
For the glory that lies along the lane
Is endeared with sweet perfume,
And the world Is ours, and we are twain
At the feast Of apple bloom
She was mora than fair In the wreath she wore
OF the creamy buds and blows,
And she comes 10 me from the spcoohless shore
When the Towering orchard glows;
And sigh for the dreams so sweet and sE.fs.
That are laid in a sacred tomb
Yet are nothing at last but fragrant drift
