FoR THE JOURNAL.

God bless the band Of earnest men,
Who labor with their brain and pen
To keep Us posted in the news,
To entertain us ne'er refuse.
They must be evSr wide awake,
On the alert rumors TO take
And the moment events occur,
To the right source they must refer.
They must be taught in science. art,
The hidden workings Of each heart;
Discriminate the good from ill
Drawing the lines with finest skill.
They are the men, large-hearted, strong,
Striving 10 free the earth from wrong;
To SOW the seeds Of living truth
Cheering the DID, guiding the youth.
Blessings rest on the printers, too,
Oft setting type the whole night through
That we may have the morning sheet,
With tidings from all lands complete.
We read our paper with no thought
OF care and skill which here is brought
We laugh at slight mistakes of his,
As though we understood the . biz"
If we furnish copy to set.
No wonder the poor devils fret;
So poorly written none can read,
Who are not very apt indeed.
Don't take and read the paper through.
Forgetting to pay what is due!
But pay the printers with the rest
Then you and they will both be blest.

Mount Desert Railway.
THE ROAD PROBABLY TO BE BUILT THE
COMING SEASON.

Bangor Commercial
The proposed Mount Desert Railway from
Bar Harbor to the foot of Green Mountain
will probably be built by the first of next
summer. As we have before stated the
DIRECTORS to it are few in number. A
great many have not understood the mat
ter just as it is. There has been a report
that the company intend to run road
around the island A certain few have,
seemingly, tried TO give the impression that
the road would run helter-skelter about
Mount Desert, and that one object of the
enterprise would be TO run through peoples
front yards. and in every way possible t. in
wade private rights"
But to speak Of the subject in a sober
vein. The originators of the Mount Desert
Railway propose to build a road from Bar
Harbor to the foot Of Green Mountain in
order to connect with the mountain rail-
way. The survey locates the road so that
it will discommode very few In fact. the
"cottagers, and others who have interests
at Bar Harbor as soon as they learn Just
what the builders of the road propose to do
heartily approve Of the scheme. and say
that it will be Of great benefit to the town.
Mr.. +. II. Clergue has received letters from
gentlemen who own cottages and they write
that they hope the road will be completed
Many Of those who own land and cottages
al Bar HarbOr are business men, and do not
wish TO obstruct any enterprise that will
make the resort more desirable The few
who do not care to spend their vacations
where a railroad runs can move their cot
tages away from Bar Harbor, but the mount
ain. the lake. the grand sea views, and even
the fog will still remain.
The Leriston journal editoria!ly APP
proves of the plan Of building the road and
in a good-natured way pokes fun at the OBJ
jectors. The Journal SAYS: 1.-The smoke Of
the locomotive would not DESTROY the rugged
beauties Of the island nor screen the glow
ing pictures painted by sun and fog on its
rocky coast. If the garden Of Eden were
still in bloom, railroad would be built
through 1t by some enterprising son Of
Adam. The attempt to make Bar Harbor
dudes private Paradise will fail.

The British Evacuation of Castine.

The Bangor Commercial prints the follow
ing communication
While the statement in your issue of the
Goth instant, that Castine was the last point
quilted by the British troops at the close Of
the Revolution is correct, the date given is
erroneous. The final evacuation did not
take place until the middle of January, 1854,
having been delayed BY certain questions
which required diplomatic solution. An alb
stract of a letter from merchant, Penob-
scot, Jan. l, 1884, published in the London
Chronicle, says: 81 wrote YOU in my last
had built house here, and | expect in
four or five DAYS to leave it for some of the
rebels to take possession of, as this place
will be evacuated in the course Of fort
night" The contemporary report of Com
missary Watson, contained in Sir Guy
Cartoons manuscript, states that about six
hundred loyalists accompanied the army,
and went to Passamaquoddy.
Before their departure the British burned
the barracks and storehouses. General Me
Cobb, who had possession of the place by
authority Of Governor Arncach, found only
thirty seven buildings left, and but single
cannon.
During the British occupation of nearly
five wears, many important and interesting
events took place at Bagaduce. The centen-
nal of their reluctant REIMBURSEMENT Of the
last foot-hold in the American colonies should
not pass unnoticed.

The stern realities of winter are upon

The hills are cold and bare;
And the wild white bees Of winter
Swarm in the darkened air.
Many in these parts predict an open winter
but we think differently. People had better
prepare for the worst, SO that they may not
be taken by surprise. Nothing will make
and keep our homes warm and comfortable
