The Last Of Ira Fletcher.

Forty years ago, Ira Fletcher, a
young man of twenty-one years, was
disappointed in love affair with Young
girl residing between Skowhegan, Me,
and Norridge Neck. He was Of proud
sensitive nature, and took his rejection
to heart with greater degree of regret
than the average masculine is apt to
feel. He packed his few effects, and,
bidding good bye to his family, de-
parted out into the world, they knew
not where. For time he was remem-
bered and expected, but, as the lapse of
time brought no tidings, he was at length
given up as among the dead. Finally,
a few days ago, time worn wanderer
appeared at the old homestead in Show
hogan. He told his story, and was re-
cognized as the long-lost Ira. A brother
settled in New London N. H., was at once
notified and preparation was made for the
family reunion Meanwhile Ira Fletcher
revisited the once familiar scenes of his
boyhood only to find them changed. His
favorite hill top in the vieinity was OBJ
scurcd by dense growth of timber and in
the depressed state of his mind. excited bv
the other changes he witnessed, even this
little circumstance gave him additional
trouble. After the second day of his re-
turn he began to be uneasy, and his de-
preston deepened. His friends en-
deavored in vain to cheer him. Sud
denly, and without saying farewell, he
departed as mysteriously as he came.
When the brother arrived at New Lon
don, the object of his search was gone.
1t now transpires that in fit of uncon-
trollable feeling he walked to Norridge-
wock and then took train for Water
vile. The following night he appeared
at East Greenville, r. l.. and finding
that life no longer possessed charm his
philosophy was no longer proof against
the chrushing weight of the events of the
last few days, and he placed the pistol to
his breast with the muttered farewell,

Destruction Of Salmon,

The salmon fishery on the Pacific
coast, which, at one time, was source
of large profit and vocation which
afforded employment to "a large number
of persons, is threatened with partial
destruction. The salmon is one of the
noblest of fishes, and a country whose
waters abound in them is highly favored;
but the Unsuitable American greed which
has destroyed millions of acres of noble
timber and almost annihilated the once
mighty herds of game on the Western
plains, has subjected the Pacific coast
fisheries to the same ruinous process
Ten years ago the pack of canned sal
mon was $4,000 cases; last year it was
96l 900 cases, worth $5,000,000. This
year the catch is very short, not more
than one-half that of last year, and the
Gamers are growing serious at the sud-
den decline in a business which they
have pursued with such destructive avid
ity. In spite of the State laws passed to
preserve the fish during the spawning
season, the Sacramento and Columbia
Rivers are dragged so necessarily night
and day that the fish have the greatest
difficulty in reaching their spawning
grounds. In places where once boat
loads were the fruit of day work, only
a dozen fish now reward the labor of a
fisherman, and the exhaustion of the
California and Oregon fisheries is seen
to be an inevitable event if thorough and
vigorous measures be not taken to avert
it. The salmon have been driven north
ward, and Frazer River in British Amer
lea and the waters of Alaska now abound
in the fish that once entered the Column
bia and Sacramento. A few wears of
assiduous and iudicious cultivation would
suffice to restore the fisheries to their
former condition; but it is difficult to
enforce this cultivation against the rapa-
cious demands of the canneries. st.

SUMMER NOON.

The dust unified lies as first 1t lay,
When dews of early morning dried away;
The spiders web stirs not with gentlest gale,
Nor thistle-down may from its mooring sail.
Only by spastic shutting of their wings
We know the butterflies are living things;
The grasshoppers, with grating armor prone,
Vault low and aimlessly from stone to stone.
II blooms of mead or orchard lure the bee,
He journeys thither, buZzinR drowsily;
At last the humming-brd is pleased to rest
All but the shifting brilliance on his breast.
The fern-leaves curl, the wild rose sweetness
spends,
Rich as at eve the honeysuckle lends;
While scattered pines and clustered spruces
deep
Within grave boughs their exhaations keep
Absorbed in sole fruition of the cool,
The heron steadfast eyes the reeded pool;
While overhead the hawk, till lost from sight,
Pursues the falling circles of its flight.
The rabbit brown peeps painting from the
hedge,
The fawn-hued field-mouse from the haycock 5
edge:
The cree ping cattle feed far up the hill,
The birds have hid, and field and wood are
still.
