Begins TO pave old Winters way,
When Autumn, In revery lost
The mellow daytime dreams away;
When Summer comes, in muslng mind.
To gaze once more on hill and dell,
To mark how many shcaves they bind,
And see n all are ripened well.

The dying flowers look mp and give
Their sweetest incense ere they 20,
For her who made their beauties live.
She enters meath the woodland shade,
Her zephyrs lift the lingering leaf.
And bear II gently where are laid
The loved and lost ones Of its grief.
At last, old Autumn, rising takes
Again his scepter and his throne;
with boisterous hand the trees he shakes,
Intent on gathering all his own.
Sweet Summer, signing, files the plain,
And waiting Winter. gaunt and grim,
Sees miser Autumn hoard his grain,
And smiles to think its all for him.

The nomination of Judge Libbeys sue

Maine was one of the points OF difference
between Governor Plaisted and the execu-

to renominate him. Governor-elect Robie
however, at jubilee meeting in Portland
Tuesday evening, promised that one of his

EDWARD ATKINSON, speaking at the re-
cent opening of the New England Industrial
Fair in Boston, said sour general methods
of agriculture are poor and shiftless our
crops are not one-half what reasonably
good system would bring forth. The po
tentiality of single acre of land is still al
most an unknown quantity" Mr.. Atkin-
son is the EXTREMIST champion of railroad
sutocracy in America, and opposes any legis-
lation looking at the least control of corpo.
rations. Under the recognized principle Of
the corporations, to make the freight-rates
"all the goods will bear" we have the surest
means OF preventing any Improvement in
agriculture, because we have in 1t the surest
means of preventing that accumulation of
capital in the hands of farmers whereby
such improvement can alone be accom-
plshed.

Eary last summer Messrs i. j. Kendall

traet with the publishers of the Press for a
halt column advertisement for one year set
ting forth the merits Of KendalPs SPAWN
Cure. At the same time We secured from
the firm quantity of bOeks, entitled Dr.
Kendall's Treatise on the Horse and his
Disease, which we are giving to advance
paying subscribers to the Press as pre-
MUM.
About the time the advert 'sement first APP
peared in this paper Mr.. P. Il. Scherma r.
born, who resides near Golfers hada SPAWN
ed horse lie read the advertisement and
concluded to test the efficacy of the remedy,
although his friends laughed at his creduiity.
lie bought a bottle of Kendall's SPAWN
Cure and commenced using il on the horse
in accordance with the directions, and he in
formed US this week that it effected such q
complete cure that an expert horseman, who
examined the animal recently could find no
trace of the spawn or the place where it had
been located. Mr.. SchermerhO-n has since
secured a copy of kehdalps Treatise on the
Horse and his Diseases, which he prizes very
highly and would be 10th to part with it at
any price, provided he could not obtain an
other copy. So much for advertising relia

With weary steps betokening need Of rest.

hardly be said, are costly things. At

The chicken feathers do not bring
more than SIS per bird. but the subse-
quent pluckings are valued at from $40
to $3.50, aud the income per annum

in Buenos Ayres, the price for fall
grown birds is from 81, 600 to 81 $50 q

half-grown, but cheaper rates conId be
obtained by correspondence with South
African dealers At Mr. Raubenhei-
mer's last sale there the prices ranged
from $475 up to 1876 per pair, aver

that there is big profit in the busi-

largely increased. In some parts el

The End nf the World.

The age of the earth is placed by
some at five hundred miilionsof years
and still others, of later time, among
them the Duke Of Argyll, placed it at
ten million years, knowing what pro
cesses have been gone through. Other
planets go through the same process.
The reason that other planets differ so
much from the earth, is that they are in
much earlier or later stage Of existance.
The earth must become old. Newton
surmised. although be could give no
reason for it, that the earth would st
one time lose all its water and become
drv, Since then it has been found that
Newton was correct. As the earth
keeps cooling. it will become porous,
and great cavities will be formed in
the interior, which will take In water.
Il is estimated that this process is now
ii, progress. SO far that the water dimin-
ishes at about the rate Of the thick
ness Of sheet Of writing paper each
year. At this rate, In six million years,
the water will have sunk mile, and IN
fifteen million years every trace OF
water viii have disappeared from
the face Of the globe. The nitrogen
and oxygen Ia the atmosphere are also
diminishing all the time. It Is in an
inappreciabIo degree, but the time will
come when the air will be SO thin that
no creatures we know can breathe il and
live; the time will come, when the
world cannot support lie. That will
be the period Of old age, and then viii
come deash.

For general statement it may then
| be said. that more than halt of those
living at any insurable age will
/ live to an age beyond sixty-dye. The
productive period is best prior to thas
age. The financial value of the lives
Of business men usually begin TO Wane
before the age Of sixty. Sometimes
the turning point is st much earlier
age, and occasionally men are at their
best at sixty, but this is very rare, in-
deed. The highest statistical authority
establishes the fact that only small
percentage from to 10) of those who
attained old age and were engaged in
active and successful business in early
manhood and at their prime, ever sue
ceed in retaining competency for
their future support.
