THE TALE A OF SETTER DOG.

Setter Van, of Macon, Ga, is well.
known as one of the best bird dogs
of the land; bnt now he has immor.
talized himself. His master was
exercising him in q field where a
drove of cattle was grazing, and
Van came to a point in beautiful
form. While his master was walk.
ing slowly up, enjoying the sight, a
big bull walked out from the drove
and advanced upon the motionless
dog with great confidence. To his
astonishment, the dog didn't stir.
The bull stopped, looked surprised,
and took a few more steps. Then
he stopped and looked, and again
advanced, and so by degrees he
reached the dog, and brushed the
extended tail with his nose. Then
Van gave evidence OF being alive
by curling the tail deity between
his legs, but otherwise renamed as
motionless as craven image. Some.
what embolde6ed by this success,
the bull, apparently still i'll doubt,
slowly put his horns under Vans
hind legs and carefully lifted them a
couple of feet from the ground. Van
never fiinched. Just then the birds
arose, and the master fred, where.

with fury, and chased hlm until he
had fully avenged the insult.

THE OLD homestead.

-
l gazed on my old ruined homestead to-
day,
Through the tears of a wild, vanished
youth :
I see the broad porches gone down to
decay
Where my mother instilled every
truth.
The chimney has crumbled away in the
blast,
And the rafters have alltumbled down:
The h~earthstone brings back all the JOYS
of the past,
AS the clouds in the west darby frown.
The spring at the foot of the hill has
gone dry,
And the apple and plum trees have fed
1 stand in the gloom as the winds deeply
sigh,
And weep Ger the graves of the dead.
Here my mother and father sleep side by
side
In a nook on the top of the hill
Where my heart was as light as the foam
on the tide,
When l sauntered about the old mill
That stood on the edge of the creek down
the lane.
Where it rumbled its musical flow
But, alas l shall never play there again
As | played in the sweet long ago,
The woodpecker drums DER my head on
the oak,
And the gray squirrel chatters his
tune,
But where are the schoolmates whose
laugh and whose joke
Thrilled my heart in the play smell at
noon?
Some are gone /" DER the ranges to
sleep in the vale
Like myself, some have wandered affair."
Blown about like a leaf in a whitening
gale,
Or attuned like a broken guitar.
Through the last rays of sunset l sadly
behold
The old ruined home of my youth,
Where the jessamine clambered in colors
of gold,
And the voices / heard spoke the truth.
Farewell to the scenes and the friends
that / knew
In the morning of life bright and fair
My heart shall forever commingle with
you,
And my spirit shall always be there

FARMINGToN, Oct. Is

FARMINGTON, Oct. Is.
AT the opening of the Grand Lodge of Good
Templars at Pennington last evening the
committee on political action reported as fol-
lows:
The principle of prohibition is one of the
foundation stones OF our order, and we be-
lleve that the article in the Good Templars'
declaration, requiring the election of good,
honest men to administer the laws, is worthy
of being thoroughly impressed on the minds
of our members. Any member should, by
this plank alone, be restrained from voting or
working Tor the election of any man, under
any circumstances, who IN word or deed
stands committed IN any way to the liquor in
terests at the same time 1t is impossible
Tor us to bind our members to the support of
any political party or to discuss partisan poll
tics in the lodge room. We have no more
right to question members politics than we
have to question his religion. The lodge sup
posed, and We are to do the same, that every
Good Tempar is honestly opposed to the
| liquor traffic and that he means to do all in
his power to secure its absolute prohibition.
Let US, as an order, be charitable in this mat
ter and let no personal animosity arise, whe-
ther member may vote for the republican,
democrat, prohibition, labor, or any other
party.
This report provoked discussion which was
participated in by A. J. Chase of Portland, T.
II. Dexter of Springvale, J. ii. Greely of
Augusta and H. C. Munson of Livermore
Falls. 1t was finally unanimously adopted.
The committee on resolutions reported, favor
ing the appointment of correspondent in
each lodge to keep the principles and work
ings of the order before the public through
the press, endorsing the present system of
temperance instruction in the public schools,
and rejoicing at the union of the two right
grand lodges of the world. 1t asks the COM
ing legislature for stricter laws against the
sale of cider so that it cannot be sold lin any
quantity other than for vinegar. 1t denounces
the running of Sunday excursion trains and
urges more work among the children.
On motion of .. Thomas of Gardiner it was
voted TO ask the legislature to change the
temperance laws so that the first sale of
liquor shall be punishable by imprisonment
1t was voted to ask the evangelical alliance to
set apart temperance day in the week of
prayer.
Mr.. Carleton of Portland, G.. A. Farwell of
Pttsfeld, and j. H. Greedy of Augusta. were
chosen to prepare amendments to the liquor
law, and Grand Secretary Bracket was au-
thorized to present the same to the legisla
ture.
A. Farwell of Pittsfeld declined to serve
on the committee to ask the governor and
council for the pardon of Clinton, and Rev.
w. S. McIntire was substituted in his place.
Letters of regret were read from Congress
man Dingley, Senator I. X. Simonton and
Mrs. Pember.
