Babies the Salt of the Earth.

Babies The world is full of
babies! There are 5000 in Atlanta
If there is one. They are little, but
they are mighty important. Did you
ever notice how they disappear in
rainy weather? The babies come and
go with the sunshine. Let baImy
day happen along and the green
lawns are dotted over with babies.
Their chubby legs trudge the streets,
or they ride, and their wise thought
full faces look out from very red hoods
and seem to rebuke the world for be-
ing go bad? Did you ever see a woman
pass baby without giving it a Sec
ond glance? Did you ever see an in
experienced man try to make peace
with an inoffensive and unoffending
baby? Did you ever see a baby that
didn't know a gentleman when he
saw one? Did you ever hear any
eloqnence like baby's wonderful
words? And how clear and silvery
is the voice of a little girl? Her
laughter is like ripping shower
music from the skies.
There is no doubt about it, the
babies are the salt of the earth. A
man is not fully grown until he owns
one. A being who can lean over his
sleeping baby and not be as brave as
a lion, is not good for much this side
of the cemetery nor the other side
either for that matter.
Did you ever notice the little
peaKed-faced babies that look out
of the dark damp rooms that fall
TO the lot of the poor? They breathe
the very dust that the rattling drays
throw against their low windows.
There is little child on a back street
in the business part of Atlanta who
may be taken as specimen of that
class of babies who are without sun
shine. There is no yard to the house,
no corner where even frog houses"
can be made. Nc mud pies ever
bake on tireIess ranges, and no red
painted toys ever tell the passer-by
that a little child lives there. But
small, pale face, ever so meek, pres
ses against the dusty pane and sad
little eyes look out on the ever NOV
ing stream of drays and people. 1t
is companionless child. 1t romps
with no children, it rides no fiery,
untamed tricycle.. A weIl-fed dog
dashing by is diversion, and hook
and ladder truck en- route to a fire
amounts to circus.
Did you ever notice how light
baby looks when it is dead g.? There
is hardly enough of the little form to
turn a zephyr. A weeping mother
said one day:
''It is so hard to have my baby
away off in the cemetery. 1t is so
hard to shut the door and know my
baby is on the outside"

At the undey,uood Spring,

Yesterday afternoon upon the invitation OF
Mr.. Charles S. Deake, party numbering
over fifty of the business men of Portland
visited the Underwood Spring at Falmouth
Foreside, and spent several hours at the
beautiful spot. Two heavily loaded excur-
sion wagons left the Falmouth Hotel at
few minutes past one, and number of the
guests drove out in private carriages. When
after drive lasting little over an hour, the
party arrived at the grounds surrounding
the spring, they found that ample pTepara-
ton had been made for their entertainment.
On the grassy hillside, short distance from
the shore, alarge tent had been pitched, and
beneath it were two long tables bearing a
load of delicacies, and trimmed with hand
some bouquets, while on the rocks clam
bake was being prepared. The guests spent
some time very pleasantly inspecting the
spring and the apparatus with which the
water is bottled for shipment, and enjoying
the beautiful view of the bay and islands.
The clam bake and dinner were then dis
cussed. and found to be delicious. When the
gentlemen had left the tables another hour
passed pleasantly, and the party returned to
town much pleased with their visit to the
spring and the courtesy extended them by
Mr.. Deake. Among the letters of regret
and acceptance sent Mr. Deake were many
bright and witty epistles. L. C. Higgins, of
the New York Mail and Express, f. Babcock
Miller OF New York, and W. S. Habbert,
Esq, OF Chicago, were among those present.

The Free church of peering,

To the Editor of the Press:
Every worthy public enterprise is for the
good of all and deserves the support Of the
whole community in which it is located.
Whoever is engaged in establishing and
building up Christian churches is in such
worthy enterprise. People in Deering, liv-
ing in the vicinity of Morrills, have united
and formed a church under the name, Free
Church of Deering." They have faith that
it will increase in numbers and grow to be. a
looking for favorable locations to settle near
the city of Portland. 1t has the goodwill
of all the churches and especially the fellow
| ship of all the evangelical churches. The
pastors of these have gratuitously. supplied
| preaching for the past year. Meetings have
| been held in a hired hall. Results are en-
couraging. The need now is meeting
| house" owned by the church, with free seats
| for one of the Standing Rules" (rule ~ is,
IAN pews or seats shall be the property Of
| shall never be sold or rented" All expense,
| so far, has Eeen paid by free contributions
and the belief is that future expense will be
paid in the same way, when the need is
properly presented to the people 1t is be-
lieved that the selling value of real estate in
the vicinity of Morrill's, for long distance
on the Windham road, for a distance on the
Gray road beyond Aliens Corner and on the
cross roads and streets leading into those
two roads, which meet at Morrill's, will be
benefited materially by the prosperity of this
''Free Church." consequently, aid and con-
tributions to build Injecting house" will
be expected from real estate owners, as a
matter of financial interest to them. 1t
may be said here that the land in the locali-
ties named is superior for building purposes,
water is good, that Sebago Lake water has
been introduced by the Portland Water Com
pany as far as Aliens Corner on the Gray
road, and for a short distance ON the Wind
ham road, and that the junction between the
Rochester railroad is at Morrills giving good
railroad facilities; also that horsecars run
between Morrill's and Portland every thirty
minutes. A committee is appointed to re,
ceive pledges Of aid to pay for lot and
build the needed church edifice.
This is a notice to all who are willing to
contribute or desire to do so that apledge to
do so will be thankfully received by the
committee.

Rights and Liabilities of Directors.

There has been some question raised as to
whether the directors in the First National
Bank are responsible to the stockholders for
the losses sustained through Mr.. W. E..
Gould. Boone's digest of the law of corpo-
rations says:
Directors are bound to administer the af-
fairs of the corporation according to the
terms of its charter and in good faith. So
they must act with reasonable care and dill
Bile for acts of malfeasance or conduct
amounting to gross negligence. An action
for negligence against the directors must be
in such form as to protect the interests of all
stockholders and creditors; stakeholder
cannot have a separate action at law for the
negligence.
