of gravitation whereby farmers are en-

OF morning bright
Are oft by tempest powers
Deprived of light.

We learn too late
Our plans for future years
Must yield to fate.

Are first to fade away
And sink to rest.

And that the chast ming hand
Hath given rest.

on the floor, close to the wall, stood a small,
barrel shaped scrap receiver, with stained and

Didn't Know People wero So Kind.


An old gentleman entered Thorndike Hotel.
Rockian6, Sunday night, and stated that he had
no money, and wanted to know if they would
give him nights lodging. He said his name
was John Trask, that he belonged in Saecarapl
pa and was more than eighty years of age. He
had started from home to visit son residing, as
he supposed in Passadumkeag, On ar
irving at that place, he found that his
son had moved away. The old gentle
man had used all his money. and so was
obliged to work his way home as best he could
He came from Bangor to that city. He was a
neat intelligentappearihg old gentleinau, and
his story was evidently a true one. Messrs.
Chapman IS Berry, of the Thorndike, never do
things by halves, and the stranger was given
supper, nights lodging, breakfast and in
the morning with $40 in his pocket realized
from a collection taken up for him at the
hotel, and a free pass over the Knox g. Lincoln,
given by President JOHN 7. Berry, of the road,
took the Monday morning train for homo.
