THE LAND OF DREAMS.

o land of dreamsl o beautiful land which
borders the unknown shore
Whose realms are filled with the loved and
lost, whom we meet on earth no more!
Land where the weary and worn may rest;
where the king and serf lie down;
Where the serf may walk I'm realms as fair as
he who weareth the crown.
With the loving and loved of our youth we
wander by the golden streams;
wewreck not Of care, Of wealth or loss, in that
beautiful land of dreams.
The maid whom we loved In halcyon days,
whose bed lies under the snow,
Fits back and forth in the land Of dreams
Her bright eyes shine with the sparkling
glance of the olden happy days.
And our hearts again renew their youth meath
the radiance of her gaze.
We live whole years of Joy at once as the sum
light on us CLEANS,
Whole years of JOY that have no night, in the
beautiful land of dreams.
The love, the hopes and the knowledge vast
that we yearn for in waking hours.
We gather in when we enter there as the earth
We climb the hills of the unknown land-the
land by no mortal trOd-
Behold the palace wherein our home, whose
builder and maker is God!
And brightly its walls of jasper shine as the
sunlight on 1t CLEANS;
Its gates of gems and its streets of gold that
we see in the land of dreams.
o land of dreamsl o mystical land! between
the known and unknown,
There reigns no king In thy vast domain. each
dream Is king alone.
He knoweth naught of the mystic realm, cares
not where its confines end;
He asketh not, for upon its shores he meeteth
his long-lost friend!
o land of dreams! o beautiful land, where the
sunlight ever CLEANS!
May we enter the unknown land named Heay-
en- from the beautiful land OF dreams.

FELLOW CITIZENS AND OLD FRIENDs:-The
republicans of Maine may well congratulate
themselves on the magnificent victory which.
they have won. Four years ago this evening
we were overwhelmed and Inundated by the
loss of the state. We rejoice now over the I'M

choice of both branches of the legislature, bv
the election of all the representatives in con-
gress, of all the county officers in every coun-
ty in the state except one, and by popular
majority for Governor ROBBIE Of perhaps 15,-
600 votes. The cause of this democratic over
throw, gentlemen, is known to us all. Our
canvass has been conducted on one great is
sue; our papers have kept that consequently
before the people. Every speaker from every
forced it. It is the issue Of protection to
American labor. Tariff has been almost the
only question discussed in our canvas, and the
people have responded nobly.

The Peanut Crop.
Boston Post.

Boston Post.
With profoundest satisfaction we are
enabled to inform our readers that the
American peanut crop this year prom
ises to be enormous, in fact the largest
ever raised, amounting, at a moderate
estimate, to 100000 bushels, while,
if the weather should continue favor
able, it may mount to the unprecedent-
ed figure of 4,000,00O bushels, gain of
thirty-three and one-third per cent up
ON the best yield OF any previous year
in our industrial history. The Ameri-
can peanut exerts an important influ-
ence upon the American people. and
the larger the crop the more potent,
naturally, would be the influence.

'sThat is true. Well, George, let it
be as you say"
The colonel went to the dinner and
the gentlemen had long been left to
their wine, when footman whispered
to the officer he was wanted. Making
an excuse, he withdrew; and found the
captain in the hall.
ssCome home," said the latter; 81
must speak to you at once"
The colonel, growing pale, followed
him into the road. .-.-> --

worthy your affection; she has fled with
her lover. 1 saw them. They are now
in the train going to London"
And he grasped the hedge, to save
him from falling. Recovering himself,
his mood changed.
ssGeorge!' he exclaimed fiercely.
sCome, we will follow them. The vii
lain shall answer for the wrong he has
done me; but tell me all about it. y
The captain stated tnat a CAP nad
passed him on the road to the villa.
In it he had recognized a strange gen.
tleman and Mrs. Harding. He pur
sued, but only reached the railway
station in time to see them leap into a
first class carriage as the train moved
off.
The true statement was this: Capt.
Hewett had seen fly waiting near the
villa. Concealing himself, ne had per-
ceived a gentleman, escorting lady
thickly yelled and cloaked, come
through the break in the hedge, hur-
riedly cross the intervening field, enter
the cab, and drive of, after giving the
direction:

Had he put his hand out, he could
have stayed them. But that was not
his plan. Let her go beyond recall and
forgiveness, that was what he thought.

Large Crop Of Sweet Potatoes.

Notwithstanding the long drought
that has prevailed this fail, greatly
affecting the growth and maturity of
the fall and winter vegetables, large
crops Of sweet potatoes will be made
in this section. Mr.. w. w. Hawkins
residing near this city has already
shipped upwards of 500 barrels of
this vegetable which have realized
him $2.75 per barrel, and says he will
ship as many more before the cold
weather sets in. Mr.. John B. Wells
and ]. Griscum, adjoining farms to
Mr.. Hawkins, are alsoextensive grow
ers of this vegetable, but they dispose
of the bulk of their crops during the
winter season, when better prices are
realized. The potatoes are stored
away in dry cellars prepared especi-
ally for keeping them, where an even
temperature of heat is kept up all the
time, and in this way they are kept
with great perfectness all winter.

Decline In Meats.

A dr0ver of considerable intelli-
gence residing in Western Maryland,
paid visit to this city few days
since on business. In speaking Of
the prevailing high prices charged for
fresh meats, he remarked, that If the
present warm weather continues it
will soon be plentiful and at reason
able rates in the Baltimore and other
markets, and as o consequence the
price will come down generally. y
This certainly is encouraging infor-
nation and we hope it will be veri-
fed Continuing, this gentleman,
says: ''In many parts of the country
the heat has been so great that pas
lures have been ruined. Farmers
have been waiting patiently for the
missing equinox, but in vain. Mean
time the grass has been burned so
that the stock will now have to be
kept, as in the winter, on hay and
corn. Rather than do this, stock
raisers are shipping their cattle to
market, consequently there has been
break in prices, although the de-
mand is good In reply to the ques-
tion, "Will not continuance of the
warm weather lessen the demand for
meats2" he says: Every little The
supply Of vegetables and fruits which
is an important factor in summer diet
is not what it has been. Peaches and
pears are going out of the market
rapidly, and watermelons and cante-
loupes will follow. The quality of
corn, tomatoes and other desirable
vegetables is not what it has been.
Oysters, of course are now coming
into favor, but if the hot spell contin-
ues, these would not be considered as
good as meat. Yes, it is my candid
opinion thatthe influx, of cattle, sheep
and swine will keep on, and the price
of meat must go down."
