GEANDFATHER.S CHAIR.

love- when the evenings ere balmy and still,
And summer is smiling on valley and hill,
To see in the garden the little ones there,
All happy and smiling round grandfather's chair.
Such stories he tells them-such tails of delight
Such wonders to dream of by day and by night,
It's little they're thinking of sorrow and care,
Their bright faces beamng round grandfathers chair
And words, too, of wisdom fall oft from his tongue
Dear lessons to cherish and treasure while young;
Bright things to remember when white is their halr
And some OF them sit in grandfather's chair.
All. little ones, love HIM, be kind while you may,
For swiftly the moments are speeding away;
Not long the kind looks and the love you may share.
That beam on you now from grandtather's chair.

A LIFE'S REGRET.

Turning the leaves in an adle way
OF book was skimming the other day.
/ found a line at the end of song,
Which keeps on haunting me all day long
With its sweet and mOurnful melody.
30 love, my love. had you loved but me"
Sadder burden could never be
Than Glove, my love, had you loved but me-!
Few words and simple; but, Oh, how much
The singer has told in that little touch!
How hard story of chances lost,
Of bright hopes blighted and true love crossed,
IL heard in the whispered melody,
80 love, my love, had you loved but me!'
To many sorrow the key may be
That 'love, my love, had you loved but me!'
don't believe in what poets have said
OF hearts that are broken and lives that are dead
Lives well ordered will stand to their course,
And hearts of true metal ring little the worse,
But-they vibrate still to that melody,
go love, my love- had you loved but me!'
Nv life is well but what would it be-
Sweet Glove, my love, had you loved but me!'
The world rolls on and the years roll by,
Day dreams vanish and memories die
But it surges up with restless pain,
That fond lost longing ever again,
Breathed in the passionate melody,
20 love, my love, had you loved but me!'
It might have been, but it cannot be!
Yet, ''love, my love, had you loved but me-:

A MOTHERS VOICE.

Ny mother is not fair when, long years ago,
childish woe;
No longer are her coral lips by spOrtlVe dlmples
crowned;
Her form has lost its airy grace her step it's eprngng
Her eyes, those deep and glorious eyes, at dark
and bright .
Shine with saddened lustre now veiled and languid
light, ,
Upon her noble brow are marked deep lines of grief
and care
And time has long since beached her wealth of sunny
golden hair.
Though step be slow, and eye be dim, and hair have
lost its tint
OF mellow brightness such as lights the gold just from
Though her sweet lips no dimples crown as in the
days of yore, ...
And lines of care are turrowed where I've them
not before; %
She yet retains precious gift, nharmed, unaltered
still;
How softly my grateful ear that sweet voice seems
And how as in the olden time ere Fate drove apart
Its tones 60 warmly pusng through the chambers OF
my heart!
Bright visions of the buried past around me seem to
whene'er [ hear those trembling lips pour forth in
What seems lay Of triumph DER the wrecks of cruel
Time '' ~ =
Her beauty is not that of YOUTH s of grander kind,
For in that gentle face read noble wOman's mind;
But if those features lose their CHARM such thing
ind forget the sweetest face twas eer my lot to see
long. long be left that holy charm In which may
The hottest charm of all to rae-the music of her voce

A Work of Art In Six Minutes.
Paris correspondence Chicago Times.

Paris correspondence Chicago Tlmee.f
We we're at the Cafe Chautant the other
night. 1t is building somewhat larger than
the Corcoran gallery of art in Washington.
1t is q great place for music, songs and
dances. There was one very amusing fea-
ture. During one of the entire actes they
brought on an artist who was billed to paint
a marine view in six minutes, all finished for
hanging (the picture, not the artist.)
The canvass was brought on.
Out came the artist, quiet, nervous look
ing young man, about thirty years of age.
His colors were all upon the palette, and
his brushes were in his hand.
attention !" cried the director.
The artist seized huge brush.
AT signal the orchestral band struck up a
clashing, maddeningly nervous waltz.
AS the first note was struck the artist
of the canvass. Then a bit of blue, then
white, dash of purple shadow, and then,
with quick twirl of clean brush, dark
blue sea is dashed in against the horizon.
Two minutes gone.
The waltz goes on faster and faster. The
brush keeps time. A huge rock is sketched
in with burnt sienna and black. A light
house with vermilion range light is dropped
upon the top of the rock
Clash, crash, one, two, three, a boat under
full sail is thrown into the dim distance.
Clash, crash, one, two, three, and another
boat is dashed in. Light upon the waters is
thrown in with free, steady hand. A huge
brush then carefully blends the edge of the
masses, and with profound bow the artist
turns to cheering audience, gratifed that
he is through on time.
And the wonder is that the picture is start
ling good in its broad effect. 1t is strong
and clear. The colors are good, and not
muddily mixed. 1t was as good novelty as
ever saw at any show, and it beats all how
it amuses the French people,

KISSES.

There are many kinds Of flowers,
There are many kinds Of misses:
Love cOnfers its blisstul powers
In full many kinds of kisses.
have kissed in regions tOrrid,
And in frlged lands of ice;
And, by kissing nothing horrid,
have found ell kissing nice.
Spain's senoras, have kissed them
Germanys plump frauleins, too;
ScOtland's lassies, how missed them
When crossed the rolling blue.
In this land so Heaven-favored-
'Tis my home, whate'er befall-
Kissing is the sweetest favored;
Tis, in fact, the best of all.
You may spend whole years in rowing,
Be as lavish as an earl;
But youth find no maid so loving
AS the average Yankee girl.
What's garden without flowers?
What is home where love is missing?
'Tis as nothing. BY the powers,
So loving without kissing!

The PAssAMAQUoDDY INDIANS T. Hobart,
agent of the Passamsquoddy tribe of Indians
has made his annual report to the Governor
and Council The expenditures for the past
year have been $5.255.67. The expenditures
have, in some items, been in excess of the ap-
propratioDs. One member Of the tribe, Peter
Mitchell, became insane, and was removed to
the Insane Hospital at Augusta, and still re-
mains there. There are SO widows in the tribe,
and the greater part of them are very destitute
The agent has allowed them from ST. TO S. each
per month, as the necessities of each case in
his judgment required. 1t is recommended that
$4,000 be appropriated for the distressed poor
the next year, and $1,000 for contingent ex-
penses. The school at Pleasant Point has been
very successful, but that at Peter Daua's Point
has not been SO successful The members of
the tribe as a general thiug have taken more
than usual interest in farming the past year,
and the agent recommends an appropriation of
$100 for dressing for land. 1t is found upon
taking the census of the tribe, there are about
SOB families-fve less than last year. OF Ethe
whole number at the time of.taking the census
225 were males and 25S females

The annual meeting of the Portland, Bangor
s. Machias Steamship Company was held yes
terday afternoon. From comparison of the
| reports of the past and present treasurer, We
learn that the gross earnings of the company
were about S133,O 900 last wear and S115 900 this
| year, or about SIS 900 less this year. The mel
| earnings this year are q little over SIS, 000
while last year there was net loss of about
$4,000. The company has reduced the debt
incurred last year about $12 000 and its present
Indebtedness is about 1884, 900. The depression
in business, and taking the steamer Lewiston
off the route four weeks earlier this year for re-
pairs, accounts for the difference in the gross
earnings between last year and tbs present.

and in others by the same medicine in connection
with Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic,and Mandrake Pills,

patients afflicted with 1t reconciled themselves to
death without an effort being made to save them
