RoMNEY. FRIDAY, JAN. II. 1878.
Song Of the Mystic.
By rAruEa RYAN,

walked down the valley OF silence,
/. Down the dim. voiceIess valley, alone
And heard not the fall OF a footstep
Around me-save Gods and my own .
And the hush of my heart Is as holy
AS movers where angels have flown.
Long ago was weary of voices
Whose music my heart could not win :;
Long ago l was weary of noises
That fretted my soul with their din
Long ago was weary of places
Where | met but the human, anil Sin
walked thro' the world with the worldly,
L craved what the world never gave;
And said in the world. each Ideal
That shines like the star on ife's wave,
Is toned on the shores ofthe Real,
And sleeps like dream in grave.
And still did pine for the Perfect.
And still found the false with the true /;
And sought mid the human for Heaven.
But caught mere glimpse ofthe blue !;
And | wopt when the clouds OF the
Mortal
Yelled even that glimpse from my view
And toiled ON, heart.tired Of the Hu-
man;
And mourned mid The mazes OF men !;
Till | kneit long ago sc an altar
And heard a voice call me since then
walked down the Valley of Silence
That lies far beyond mortal ken.
Do You ask what ! found in the Valley?
lis my trusting place with tie Divine /;
And | fell at the feet Of the Holy,
And about me voice said. BE mine =
And then rose firm the depths of my
Spiri;
An echo: sly heart shall he thine
DO you ask how live in the Valley?
lweep, and dream aud pray;
But my tears are as sweet AS the dew
drops
That fall on the roses in MAJ;
And my prayer like n perfume from cen
ser,
Ascendcth to Col. night and day.
In the hush Of the Valley of silence,
dreamed all the songs that sing;
And the music tloaCs down the dim Val.
ley.
Till each finds word for a wing.
That to men, like the Dove OF the Deluge,
The message Of peace they may bring
But FAR on tho deep there are pillows
That never SHALL break on the beach !;
And have heard songs in the silence
That never shall float into speech:
And have dreams in ;he valley
Too pure for language to teach.
And | have seen thoughts in the valley,
All me. how my spirit was stirred
And they wear holy Yeils on their faces
Their footsteps can scarcely be heard !;
They pass thro' the valley like Virgins,
Too pure for the touch of word.
Do you ask me The place of The valley,
lie hearts that are narrowed By care
1t lieth aiar between mountains,
And God and his angels are there
And one is the dark mount Of sorrow
And one the bright mount Of prayer.

Easy Marriage.

Would it be too much to insist that a
minister who marries a man or woman
shall know them, or at least shall know
some trustworthy person who does know
them and who shall identify them and in a
sense guaranty their good faith The law
requires that the notary public or CON-
missioner who takes an acknowledgement
OF the execution of a deed for the small
est and least valuable piece Of land which
it is possible to sell in this city shall
know the maker Of the deed. lie is oblig.
ed to say in his certificate that the maker
is known to him personally, or by proper
Identification, to be the person described
in the deed and who executes it. Is a
conveyance of land more important than
a marriage contract?
The contract of marriage Is moro i'm
portant than any conveyance Of land and
should be made with greater care. Cler-
gymen seem sometimes to suppose that
they are bound to marry anybody and
everybody who asks them to do so. On
the contrary, the performance Of the Ger.
emony is 4 matter III respect 70 which they
may consult their inclination and conven-
fence; but, even if they were under lc-
gal obligation in regard to it, certainly
they would not be bound to marry any
body who was not legally competent to
marry, and whom, in view of all the cir
cumstances, it was not proper Tor them to
marry. They have right first to satisfy
themselves about the matter. They are
bound to do so; and if they do not i'm
pose the duty upon themselves the law
should impose it upon them.-New York
Evening Post.

Report of Commissioners ofFi.heries.
AUGUSTA. Me, Dec. Is, 1878.


The Commissioners of Fisheries have
made their twelfth annual report to the
Governor and Council. Thoy report
marked improvements in the fishery inter-
ests They have been unable to meet the
increasing demand for fish to restock the
exhausted waters, the appropriation being
inadequate. They point out defects in the
laws and complain that the act Of 1873
is detrimental to the fishing interests, par
ticularly salmon. and great difficulty was
experienced in protecting that fish in their
runs up the river. The result of salmon
planting is reported as most satisfactory.
On tho Penobscot the yield has been very
large, aud very respectable sum of mon
ey is brought to Penobscot valley by this
industry. In other waters the increase of
salmon is apparent. although not so mark
ed on account Of the inadequacy of fish
ways
The Raugely aud Moosohoad lakes are
contrasted. The guides, the whole popu-
la,ion about Rangely lake realize the val
ne Of their fishery and take good care of
it, while Moosehead has been 6shcd in
autumn on the spawning beds; in winter
through the ice; in spring and at all
times IN every manner, utterly regardless
of Isw. There is no fish warden, foI no
one dare take the office and fulfill its re-
quirements, consequently the fishing is
growing rapidly worthless. The introduce
ton OF blueback trout, land-locked sal
mon and the eggs of brook trout are re-
commended for Moosehead; and rigid
code Of laws for the protection Of game
aud FISH should be enacted aud enforced.
One hundred thousand land-locked sal
mon fry have been distributed in different
sections OF the State from Grand Lake
this year; of these, 10000 were a gift
from Prot. Baird, the u. 5. Commission
er. Forty thousand blue-back trout have
been distributed. Some 10 ponds and
streams in different parts Of the State
have been supplied with black bass
The Commissioners recommend that tho
laws be made simpler and more stringent;
that the close time OF land.lockcd salmon,
trout and togue be from Oct. ! 10 March
| ; that the punishment for using set
lines, grapnels, nets, weirs, traps or any
other device other than fair angling, be
6ue aud Imprisonment at hard labor, with
forfeiture of all implements, boats, etc,
aud also let the attempt to violate the law
be punished
They recommend the appropriation of
$1,000, to be used in taking salmon eggs
at Buck~port the coming year to supply
the most important salmon rIvers-Penob-
scot, keuGebec, Mcdomac, Androscoggin,

GreenbGck DOctr iIles.

A letter from one Of the interior coun-
ties Of this State so clearly expresses the
feelings which influenced Greenback yOt-
ers here and elsewhere that We copy It's
paragraphs with comments
/. Farmers and an others who live by labor ap-
pear % have al they can DO % 1--we, pay taxes
and interest
The case was very much worse in 1913,
when there had been no real or tancied
contraction Of Government currency, and
no characterization of silver. We enjoyed
q prolonged spree of speculation, nigh
living. and wanton creation Of debt, dur
ing the periods ending in 1881 and 1878.
Those who dance must pay the piper.
We have been forced 70 endure the lney-
ltable reaction and prostration Of business
in the period ending with 1878, as in the
period ending with lS43. Whether IN
reference Of Government caused the reck-
less imitation and speculation or not, II Is
certain that IN either case Government
was utterly powerless to avert the neces-
sary consequences.
IL. People are being aroused by their condition
and suffering, and they Will Tot Dc satisfied with
anything short OF some relief.
With hearty sympathy for such suffer
ing as does exist, We have none whatever
for those who are inclined TO DO dishonest
things to escape from suffering, nor for
those who fancy that relief can come from
any dishonesty or suicidal course. 1t l.

it Is hard to pay money borrowed. Ii Is
foolish TO fancy that relief can be secured
either by a new career Of initiation and
speculation, or By dishonesty towards cred
itors.
III. Many think that the Government should IS
sue IT'S own paper money, making b. q tul legal
tender for a. debts public and private.
The iegal-tenders are to be received
for duties, by the recent order of the Sec
Rotary Of the Treasury. They are nov
taken by creditors, in preference TO bag,
of coin To make them "a full legal-ten
der for all debts" would not help anybody
who has q debt to pay, in the slightest de
gree, unless the amount issued should bc

In that case, it would be naked robbery
Of creditors to make the deprecated note,
a full legalteDder'-a robbery for th'
purpose of relieving those who borrowed
and spent the money of other people from
the legitimate effects Of their own unwis
dom. Moreover, the lsboring c,asse,
were continually plundered during tbs
whole period Of imitation and speculation

he evidently isn't President at all, not
even by democratic claims, and the fraud

Is worth something.
