'Rah for Middletown !

Middletown is somewhat like a
mushroom. When it starts to grow it
grows right along. If all the enter
prises in which the citizens are now
interested prove to be success, she
will at once take rapid stride in the
march of improvement.
A manufacturing company
An academy
An organ factory
A canning establishment
A glove factory
A frst-class newspaper
are the projects now agitating the pub
lie mind. Middetown has improved
moro in the last FIVE years than dur
ing all the rest of her history. Let
each and every citizen put his shout
der to the wheel, and some if not all
of these projected enterprises will be
started and carried to completion.

"Christ the Lord is Risen"
AN EASTER POEM.

For the Star.
The little day is born after the chill and
gloom of the night,
Little flowers are with dew-drops heavy,
glittering in the sunlight,
Little birds sing songs as tho their hearts
were filled with praise,
And the heavens reveal their deepest, ten
derest blue to our gaze.
Ginning church-bells floating to our ears on
the air.
Call up pictures painted by the hand of
Time with care;
Silent sermons soemnly they preach to-day,
OF the glorious life when the gloom of death
is passed away.
One there is love to dwell upon and battle
my soul in its peace,
IT'S an old church o'ergrown with moss and
vines which increase,
And neglected yard where the periwinkle
opes its eyes of blue midst leaves of
deepest green,
And the cleaning stones like sentinels
standing in glistening robes are seen.
Within It's silent with the hush of holy
thought. pure and white,
While the atmosphere of flowers bathes the
senses in delight,
Standing in the doorway of this consecra
ted building made by man,
A sadness crept upon me, and my soul grew
sick of sham.
Suddenly there cleaned on the time-worn
wall
Words In white flowers craven, like voice
they seemed to call
l could hear them, know them in the gray
light within,
Like presence we can feel and know thro'
drapery thin.
These words in white flowers craven stamp
ed their meaning on my heart,
And midst the crowding of the years from
me will ne'er depart;
And the picture of that Easter, and its 81
lent sermon preaching,
On my life Las left its impress, while my
soul is ever reaching
After pure white thoughts upon my heart
to bloom,
like these flowers midst the old church's
gloom.
Methinks an angel clasped the lily in her
shadowy hand,
And blew this joy-note Ger sorrowing
land.
