ART.
Harry browns sludio.

No pleasanter spot to visit can be found than
Browns studio at 5075 Congress street. Here
will be found some beautiful paintings, which
should readily find purchasers. There is a
companion picture to the one exhibited at
Cyrus f. DaVis's-and referred to in the
PRESS lately-a charming sketch of Great
Head, with the waves dashing against its base.
In this picture the day is clearer one. and
the rocks stand out more boldly, than in the
one owned by the Maine Central road, but the
atmospheric effects ere the more pronounced
in the other. This picture should surely
find home here.
There is beautiful scene at point in the
mountains where the Wiley Brook comes
tumbling down into quiet pool, enclosed by
perfect network of foliage and shrubbsry, that
gives great deal of tenderness and sentiment
to the picture. Near this painting is one of
an old charcoal burners camp, with Pleasant
Mountain in the distance, full of life and
vigor. Again. there is d life-like representa-
ton of Portland from Peaks Island, and
study of waves that is full of oceans unrest.
Two Of these pictures will probably be placed
IN the June exhibition of the Society of Art.
Miss Brown also has finished two pictures
full of grace and beauty. One is cunning
basket which has tipped over, pouring out its
treasures OF sweet MaSfiowers, and the other q
very perfect representation of scarlet tiger
lilies.
The studio will be open every day until the
first of June.
In stubbs' window in Congress Square may
be seen painting by Mrs. Lothrop of this city:
view of the lighthouse on Petit Menaa
by moonlight The subject is handled with
breadth and freedom, the coloring is good and
the atmospheric effects true. The moon has
just struggled through rift in the clouds, the
Lighthouse from its eminencs sends forth Its
rays, Illuminating the black and dasbing
waves, while on the adjoining island can be
seen the buildings occupied by the light
keepers family.

Portland Lacrosse Club.

Last evening the following gentlemen met
and organized lacrosse club: W. G. Parker,
Charles G. Pagan, M Pancoast, T. N. Keal,
j. Fits, G. A. Wilkinson and O. r. Bacon.
Willard Pancoast was elected chairman, and
o. f. Bacon secretary, and it was voted that
the club be called the Portland Lacrosse Club.
The meetings are to ba held on Monday even
ings. 1t is proposed to hire room as place
of meeting.
There is considerable interest manifested in
the city in the game. Several prominent bus.
iness men have sgnifed their willingness to
become honorary members of the organization
and few more active members are needed. 1t
is not yet known where the club will play. The
promenades are talked of and it is thought
quite likely that games may be played upon
either the grounds of the base ball association
or the park, if satisfactory arrangements can
be made with the managers.

dollars aud did not know what he could do.
Finally he turned to the complainant and said,
"Say, my friend, you and are going down TO-
gether, can't you help me out little?" The

The fine concert by Grimmer's orchestra at
the Free Baptist fair in Y. NJ. G. A. Hall,
Thursday evening, was listened to by large
and sppreciative audience. This was followed
by an auction of Mother Goose characters,
represented by young children OF the Sunday
school. The praise awarded the young misses
in their broom drill was well merited. The

MOTHERS OLD HYMN.


Through the trembling folds OF the twilight,
can hear the strain OF that grand old hymn
Which mother, whose heart is now still and
Sang amidst her cares in the days of old.
There was something about 1t, underlined,
That charmed into quiet the troubled mind.
Ger the bleak hearts breathed with spirit
bland,
Like q warm south wind DER a frozen land.
And browning 1T all with strange. deep
chord,
Like the throb of the heart of the blessed
Lord,
That shed through the faintIng soul abroad
a sense Of the pitylng love of God
The songs of the singers that fame has
crowned
N the Hood of the years are lost and
drowned;
But mothers old hymn, every pause and
NTH Is growth of time has the sweeter
grove.
And It seems not out of the past to come
An echo only OF lips that are dumb
But down from the home of the glOrified
1t haa Always come since the day she died.
We know not the music that spirits hear
As earth is receding and heaven drawn near,
But treading deaths valley of shadows dim
! ask but to hear my mothers hymn.
