that the next Legislature Of the State shall
enact a law prescribing fifteen years as the ear
lest age at which children may ne regularly en-
ployed in factories, some kindred law calcula-
ted to guard and protect youth of tender years.
Earlier employment of that kind interferes with
growth and health and deprives the children Of
the proper opportunity Of acquiring an educa-
ton in the public schools.
Resolved, That we commend to the next
Legislature a careful revision of the labor sys-
TEN in the States Prison, to the end that the
labor of the conyicts be so adjusted, as hot to
come in competition with the honest calling of
any citizen of the State.
10 Resolved, That the Republicans of Maine,
now, heretofore, indorse and approve the law for
the prohibition OF the sale Of intoxicating IL
quors. The law and its several amendments
were enacted by Republican Legislators, and
this convention now declare in answer to misre-
presentations in many quarters that the gener-
al effect of the Prohibitory law has been benet-
cent and has proved in marked degree helpful
to the cause of temperance in Maine. 1t has
largely reduced the consumption Of alcoholic IL
quors and has in many ways contributed to the
moral and material welfare of the State.
IL Resolved, That the Republicans of Maine
having cordially and in good faith contributed
through their Senators and Representatives tc
the enactment of the Civil Service law, sincerely
regret that under Democratic Administration
Of the Government its efficiently has been great
ly impaired, and that its destruction is now
mcnaced by bill pending in the Democratic
House reported from a Democratic committee.
II Resolved, That the services of Union sol
diers and sailors constitute national obligation
which is not fully discharged so long as singl,
member of that patriotic host is left to suite
from want. In the judgment Of this convention
it is unfair to withhold pension from disa
bled soldier on the ground that his DISABILITY
cannot be proved to have been incurred in tn
line of duty. The only two questions to be ask
ed are these Was he loyal soldier Does he
need the aid Of the Government he helped l.
saver And that the widows Of all honorabl
discharged soldiers should be granted pension
without regard to the cause or time Of the dealt
Of the husband.
l3 Resolved, That without impairins legal
vested rights the national authority should, i

Town topics: l have piece of in
teresting news for the ladies. Prince
Albert Victor, the eldest son of the
Prince of Wales and the prospective
King Of England, is to marry an AM
erican. His father and mother have
been led to this decision partly through
the paucity of protestant families reign
ing in Europe and partly through the
popular discomfort at the constant
German alliances. The only Protest
tant houses with marriageable daugh-
tiers are those of the petty German
princes; and the disfavor which has
greeted the marriages of the DJke OF
Edinburgh and the princes Beatrice is
attributed by the Queen to the facts
that the former took a wife of another
than the accepted English faith and
that the latter married German. This
dilemma has been constant source OF
trouble To the Prince and Princess OF
Wales. The stability of the throne il
self depends on the selection of their
eldest sons wife. Englishmen of the
present generation will not brook .

there is not today, as in 1864, a reign
ing prince. like the King of Denmark.
with bevv of fair daughters to wear
the crowns of the Protestants realms.
Lord BeacOnsield was the first to
suggest that the Queen eldest grand
son should take an American wife.
The willy old statesman had, in his life
time seen so many social prejudices
broken down, so many apparently in
superable barriers removed, that be
foretold the day when the English
monarchy and the American republic
should finally join hands. Every
marriage OF an English peer and peers
son to an American has brought this
day pearer; and the favor with which
the American peeresses are received,
their charms of person and intellect.
their easy supremacy in the highest
drawing-roOms of London, proved to
careful watchers of the times that the
ultimate result was inevitable. In the
innermost circles of the court it was
rumOred nearly 4 year ago that the
Prince of Wales would look to the
United States for q wife for his eldest
son.
/ have heard whispers that young
lady has been already designated by
the Queen. However, all my infor-
marts agree that the time is not yet
ripe for the publicat on of her name.
All that is absolutely certain is that
Prince Albert Victor is to marry an
American wife. and that. unless the
tidal wave of democracy sweeps away
the British throne. an American girl
will yet be Queen of England. To
have limited at such contingency
would. few years ago. have been
regarded as lunacy. To-day it will be
calmly accepted. and will simply re-
solve itself into the question, '"whO is

COUNTRY LIFE AND WORK.


October comes across the hill
Like some light ghost. she is so still,
Though her sweet cheeks are rosy;
And through the floating tnistle-down
Her trailing, brier-tangled gown
CLEANS like q crimson pOsy.
The crickets in the stubble chime;
Lanterns flash out at milking time;
The daisy lost her rufiies;
The wasps the honeyed pi pins try;
A dim Is over the blue sky,
A spell the river MULES
The golden-r rod fades in the sun:
The SPIDERS gauzy veil is spun
Athwart the dropping sedges;
The nuts drop softly from their burrs;
No bird-song the dim silence stirs-
A blight is on the hedges.
But filed with fair content is she,
As ifno frost could ever be,
To dim her brIwn eyes luster;
And much she knows offairy folk
That dance beneath the spreading oak
With twinkling mirth and buster.
sac listens when the dusky eyes
Step softly on the fallen leaves,
As If for message cheering;
And il must be that she can hear,
Beyond November grim and drear,
The feet OF Christmas nearing.
