ATTEMPTED BURGLARY.



Any great event, or celebration, brings with
it its swarm of dead beats and criminals, all
ready to plumber and commit gross crimes If
the fit so seizes them. The National Encamp-
ment, which will be held in this city week
after next, will prove no exception to the gen.
eral rule, and the advance guard is now with
us, as evidenced by the several burglaries late
~ committed. Many of these people appear
as tramps begging food, and making their in
spection of premises which they desire to
plumber.
Thursday afternoon, Mrs. Seth Plummer,
who resides at Cape Elizabeth, heard sound
as II some one was trying the lock on the back
door Looking out Of the window, she saw q
couple of fellows at work on the lock with in
struments, and this in broad daylight. Going
TO the front of the house, Mrs. Plummer looked
out OF window, and seeing peddler passing,
she attracted his notice by waving cloth, as
she was afraid il she shouted the burglars
would hear her, and If she failed to obtain
help 1t might be the worse for her. The
peddler-a stout, powerful man-heard what
was going on from Mrs. Plummer, and stepped
to the rear door. On his asking the men what
they wanted, they coolly asked him if he was
the master of the house, and were inclined to
show fight, when the peddler seized a Ratchet
and appeared 80 determined that the fellows
made off, muttering threats.

The highest moment known on
earth by the merely natural, is that
in which the mysterious union of
heart is felt. Call it friendship-love
what you win. that mystic blend
ing of two souls in one, when self is
lost and found again in the being of
another; when, as it were moving
about in the darkness and loneliness
OF existence, we suddenly come in
contact with something, and we find
that spirit has touched spirit. This
is the purest, serenest ecstacy of the
merely human-more blessed than
any sight that can be presented TO
the eye, or any sound that can be
given to the ear; more sublime than
the sublimest dream ever conceived
by genius in its most gifted hour,
when the freest way was given to the
shaping spirit of imagination.
