OUR YOUNG FOLKS.


j LEGEND OF THE SoRTHLANp.
Away, away in the Northland.
| Where the hours of the day are few.
And the nights so long in winter
They cannot sleep them through
Where they harness the swift reindeer
To the sledges when it SHOWS
And the children look like bears cubs.
In their funny furry clothes;
! They tell curious story
\ | don't believe it's true
And yet you may learn a lesson
| If ! tell the tale TO you.
Once. when the good ST. Peter
| Lived in the world below,
| And walked about il preaching
| Just as he did, you know
He came to the door of cottage,
In travelling round the earth,
Where little woman was making cakes
And baking them on the hearth
And being faint with fasting.
For the day was almost done
He asked her, from her store Of cakes,
To give him asingie one.
oshe made him a very little cake.
But. us it baking lay,
She looked at it, and thought it seemed
Too large to give away.
Therefore. she kneaded another,
And still a smaller one,
But it looked when she turned it over.
As large as the first had done.
Then she took tiny scrap Of dough
Aud rolled and rolled it fiat,
And baked it rs thin as Il wafer;
But she would not part with that;
For she said, My cakes that seem too small.
When | cat of them myself
are yet too large to give away"
So she put them on the shelf
Then good ST. Peter grew angry,
For he was hungry and faint
And surely such a woman
Vas enough TO provoke a saint.
And he said, You are far too selfish
To dwell IN human form:
To have both food and shelter,
And fire to keep you warm.
Now, you shall live as the birds do.
And shall get your Scanty food
By boring and boring and boring,
All day in the hard dry wood
Then she went up through the chimney.
Never speaking word,
And out OF the top few Il woodpecker
For she was changed to bird.
She had scarlet cap on her head,
And that WAS left the same;
But all the rest of her clothes were burned
Black as coal in the flame.
And every country school-boy
Has seen her in the wood;
" here she lives in the trees TO this very day.
Boring and boring for food.
And this is the lesson she teaches -
Live not for yourself slone,
Lest the needs you Will not pity
Shall one day be your own.
Give plenty of what is given you,
Listen TO pity : CALL
Don't think the little you give is great,
And the much you get is small.
Now. my little boy, remember that
And try to be kind and good,
When you see the woOdpeckeTS sooty dress,
And see her scarlet hood.
You mayn't be changed 70 bird, though you
live
AS selfish as You can;
But you will DC changed to smaller thing
mean and selfish man.

have met with success.
Oregon has for years past sent us more or

Railway Matters.

The Boston and Maine railroad has put some
new men into their shops at Turner's Island,
and intend to do general car repairing, and we
understand they will commence building some
new freight cars in few weeks. Mr.. Charles
Millar OF Lawrence, has general charge of the
shops, with Mr.. Rutter Of the same place, as
foreman of the carpenter shop. Mr.. Geo. 81.
Saville of Portland has charge of the machin-
cry and locomotive department.
A decision was rendered in Montreal yester-
day in the Practice Court in the case of the
Rhode Island Locomotive Works v. the South
Eastern Railway Company. The South East
ern Company purchased two locomotives from
the plaintiffs at total cost of $780, 900, payable
on delivery. The company, however, became
insolveDt, and the plaintiffs issued saisie rev.
endication on the locomotives. The South East
ern Company claimed that such seizure could
not be taken, as the locomotives formed part
Of the rolling stock. The Court maintained
the pretensons OF the South Eastern Company
and dismissed the action with costs.

NATIONAL ENCAMPMENT.
Visit of Past commandments VAN
dervO0rt 10 Portland.

At meeting of Bosworth Post last evening,
Past Commander-in-chief Paul Vandervcort
of Omaha was present and addressed the meet
ing, describing the state of affairs in the
West. The speaker said that the enthusiasm
there is boundless and everybody is wild to
visit Maine next June.
A report has become current throughout the
country that Portland is too small city for
the Encampment and that the hotel accomo-
dations are not sufficiently extensive. The
committee in charge of this part of the work
have made careful canvass of all the hotels
in Portland and the immediate vicinity and
have secured accommodations for 600 men at
rates not exceeding four dollars per day in any
instance and good hotel board may be obtained
as low as one dollar a day. The above does
not apply to cottages or boarding houses of
which a canvass will soon be made. Old
Orchard hotels will make a discount of Is per
cent. from their regular rates. Grand Army
men need have no fear. If hotels, boarding
houses and camps should not afford accommo-
dalton for the multitude, and this is not likely,
the hospitality of the people of Portland will
easily find places for the entertainment OF the
boys in blue and their accompanying friends.
Past Commander Vandervo ort leaves for
Waterville this morning.
