The Portland (Ale.) Press says About 30
years ago Mr. Isaac Blake, brother of George
Blake, ESD, now living in Atkinson Me-, was
returning from trip to New Brunswick
where he had been engaged in buying and
selling cattle and other matters, and brought
with him about 81, 800, mostly in gold, He
stopped in Bangor, day or two, and then
started on foot for Atkinson, stopping the first
night at tavern about nine miles north, in
what is now Glenburn, near the foot of the
Jameson Hill, so called. He was never seen
or heard from Afterward but it was the gem
eral opinion that he was murdered, and two
persons were suspected, but whether legal
investigation was had it is not remembered /;
at any rate no clue was found to the perpe-
traitors of the crime. And so it has remained
until about the LIST of March, 1878. On that
day a man near ~ years old, who had lived in
Milo and about that section 40 years or more,
was taken sick, and, finding that he could live
but few days longer, called in n neighbor
and made confession of being concerned
with two others in the murder of Mr.. Blake

l shall always remember a certain autumnal
day, not long before left this Highland spot
"a day when the golden haze of an Indian
Summer" filed the air. In valley, stretch
ing away through the hills, some oats were
ready to cut, and neighboring farmer, who
had imported the first reaping machine to
that part of the country, had lent it for the
occasion.
Every one turned out rs though it were a
festival. In harvest many respectable mar
ried woman earns enough TO clothe herself
and her children for the rest of the year. The
work is pleasant to them, and they are as
proud of their quickness and dexterity as any

An April TriIOgy.

FIRST DAY.
Ay, "Spring comes slowly up this way" This morn,
Smiled the blue sky most buXomly; ere noon,
II frowned, a. II the flowers had all too soon
Begun the woods and meadows TO adOrn,
And sent a white fear ON them, while his horn
The north wind blew-a surly, wintry tune.
The night fell chill; aud now the pallid moon,
In witch-circle centred, stands fotlOrn.
Some butterflies already have ta'en wing
And Aprils praise with sweet aud gladsome tones,
Robins have sung; the byacinths perfume
Has lured the bees; but still delays COY Spring,
And winters ghost uprising from hs tomb,
Fills the bleak air with bight-foreboding means
SECOND DAY
The day rose wrapped in cloud. Unceasing quver
The boughs whose buds OF opening bloom were
dreaming,
And to whose topmost twgs the blood was streaming
In warm flood, now checked. The wild flowers
shiver
In the chill air, disconsolate. Greek and river
Look sombre aud blue, The SUM- with htful BEAM
ing,
Lights oil anon, while nuttoring snowhakes, glesm-
ing,
Likc the pale petals blossOmed trees deliver
To loving winds, hOat down, and ghost-lke vanish.
There IL roaring 10 the woods, no ringing
OF robins notes. No crows cav. Like November 4
Eumbed Aprls features are, and sadly banish
The butterflies, and all the timid members
or tribes that, late gay ight were round her wing
Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1878-04-26

How welcome is the change from gloom to light,
From bOreal blast to breeze Of milder mood
Again to earth pours down golden flood
OF CHEEKY rays from heavens cerulean height.
From April's face the frown has taken flight;
Sweetly she smiles DER vale hill void aud wood;
with her soft spirit is the world imbued;
And opening buds, revived, confess her might
No longer trembe in the northern gale
The blue houstonia and the wind d.hower white,
The pink spring g-beauty, delicate and frail,
Nor fear the attack Of frosty spears at night;
The byacinth once MORE on silken sail,
Seek the brown bees, and all is calm and bright.

Being Happy.


There are two ways of being
happy. We may either diminish
our wants or augment our means;
either will do, the result is the
same; and it is for each man to de-
eide for himself, and do that which
may happen to be the easiest. II
you are idle, or sick, or poor, how
ever hard it may be TO diminish
your wants, it will be easier than to
augment your means. If you arc
active and prosperous, or young
and in good health, it may be easier
for you to augment your means
than to diminish your wants. But
if you are wise you will do both at
the same time, young or old, sick Oh
well, rich or poor, and if you are
very wise, you wifi do both in such
way as to augment the general
happiness of society.

Loving Friends.


Never cast aside your friends if
by any possibility you can retain
them. We are the weakest of
spendthrifts If we let one drop off
through inattention, or let one push
away another, or if we hold aloof
from one through petty jealousy or
needless slight or roughness. Would
you throw away diamond because
it pricked you? One good friend
is not to be weighed against the
jewels of the earth. If there is a
GOODNESS or unkindhess between us,
let us come face to face and haye it
out. Quick, before the love grows
cold! Life is too short to quar-
rel in, or to carry black thoughts of
friends. 1t is easy to lose friend,
but a new one will not come for
calling, nor make up for the old one.
