An Unsatisfactory Meeting.

A little man, in walking down the dusty road
one day,
Met a little woman travelling afoot the other
way;
And laying down his big valise. he bowed in
handsome style.
While she returned his greeting with curtsey
and smile.
"Can you inform me where. maam, l can find
wife?" said he.
sir said She
''I'm weary of my single state, and many miles
I've gone
For one who'll cook and wash for me, and sew
my buttons on;
Who'll wait on me when l am well and tend
me when Pm i'll,
And never give me cause to grumble at fool
ish bill
DO you know any one, ma'am, you can recon-
mend?' said he.
"l'm looking for precisely such a husband SIR
said she.
He puckered up his lips and whistled thought
fully and low,-
Then slowly M reached for his vaIise, regretfuy
While, with penslve little smile, she gazed up
at the sky
And watched the fieecy cloudlets as they laziy
passed by.
. 'Tis plain Pm not the husband you're after,
ma'am' said he.
-" '1is evident I'm not the wife you're seeking,
r." said she. st. Nicholas.

Lights IN the Barn.

1t is estimated that nine-tenthS of all
fires are caused by carelessness. Now is
the season when the lantern is frequently
used in the barn, and we give a word OF
caution. Never light a lamp or lantern
of any kind in the barn. Smokers may
include their pipes and cigars in the
above. The lantern should be lighted in
the house OF some out building where no
combustibleS are stored. a lantern
which does not burn well, should never
be put in order III the hay NOV. There
Is a great temptation to strike match
and re-light an eXtinguished lantern,
wherever it may be. 1t is best to even
feel ones way out TO safe place, than to
run any risks. If the light is not kept in
the hand, it should be hung up. Provide
hooks in the various rooms where the
lights are used. A wire running the
whole length Of the horse stable, at the
rear of the stalls, and furnished with a
sliding hook, is very convenient for night
work with the horses. Some farmers are
SO careless, as to keep the lamp oil in the
barn, and till the lantern there while the
wick is burning. Such risks are too
great, even if the buildings are insured.

Luck.

II young man scoots out of town be-
cause a note is falling due, if he will not
SOW because the wind blows, nor reap be-
cause the sun is hot, if he fishes on all
the fair days and sits Oh cracker box at
the corner grocery and smokes all the
rainy ones, if he complains because the
world Sights him and with hands in his
pockets waits for quail on toast to drop
into his mouth, if he spends more money
for street car fare than walking shoes, if
he works While he eats and rests while
he works, if he is the last man at the
store or office in the morning and the
ilrst to leave in the event; e, if he rigidly
insists on every one Of his holidays and
kicks against every minute Of overwork,
II his boys do all the chores and his wife
builds the fires, if he is lazy and selfish
and shlftless, then, my boy, he is an un
lucky man. Bet every cent you can
raise, and offer big odds, that Bad Luck
with,,a big B will haunt that unlucky man
all the days of his life.
But:
If a man ariseth up in the morning
with the 'passel tree and harp" if he
spends more time in the bath tub than
he does on a green and yellow necktie,
If he can talk at the breakfast table
about what he has already seen in the
morning paper, if he gets to the Office the
first man after the porter, if he isn't
afraid to dust his own desk, if he wear
eth coat with glossy elbows until he
can buy Il new one, if he knoweth more
about the petition he is drawing up or
the goods he is selling than he does
about trotting horse, if he can sweep
out the store as well as the porter, and
run column Of figures as fast as the
book keeper, if he knows every lawyer
and merchant in town and never saw
Sullivan or Tug Wilson in all his life, if
he knows what he wants to be, and
bends every energy of mind and body to
attaining his point, who works more
than he sleeps and reads more than he
plays billiards, that man my boy,
is born to good luck as the sparks
to fly upward. And now go to work, my
son, and work as though you believed in
luck and had got into the secret of the
stars and knew how to shape the destiny

STATISTICS COMPILED BY THE SECRETARY
OF STATE.
In compliance with resolve of the Legsla-
ture, Secretary of State Smith has had compil-
ed, under his supervision, statistics relating to
all departments of labor in this State, together
with the valuation and appropriations for
various purposes, of the several towns and
cities of the State. This compilation is made
for the year ending June 80, 1888. 1t is, in
many respects, incomplete, owing to the great
difficulty, in some cases practical impossibity,
of getting accurate returns.
POLLS. The number of polls in each county
for the years 1882 and 1888. is shown in the
following:

GESTS CANDIDATES FOR BOTH PARTIES.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL. Give
US fair deal. gentlemen. We think it is a. fun
damen'al principle of all Republican govern
ments that all citizens and all sections of the
country shall share equally in the honors and
emoluments the state has to bestow. That
such is not the case in Maine a little investi-
CATION will clearly show. That part of our
state lying east of the Penobscot river seems to
be thought of only when burdens are to be
borne; then we acknowledge that we are not
forgotten. Since the separation from Massa-
chusetts we have had thirty-One governors in
cluding the present incumbent, and without an
exception they all had their residence west of
the Penobscot, and we think they We're also
born in the same section. They are good pat
riotic men, worthy governors of noble state,
but we think as worthy and patriotic men
might have been found in the course of half Il
century between the Penobscot and st. CroX
rivers To further illustrate what | mean |
will submit few facts for the consideration of
those who are to have the manipulation of the
political events of the present year; Populat-
