THE OLD HOME.

1t stands upon the hillside. with the old elms
bending DER it,
The homestead, with the lilacs by the door,
And the quaint, old-fashioned garden, gently
sloping down before it,
see it just as in the days of yore.
1 remember how the sunshine fell across the
golden meadows,
Beyond the wooden doorstep. old and worn
And how the summer cloudlets cast their
quickly fieeting shadows
On distant fields of rustling, ripening corn.
In the pleasant, roomy kitchen, see my faith
sitting.
With leather-covered Bible open wide;
While my sweet-faced mother listens, as she
lays away her knitting,
And rocks the old red cradle by her side
Three brown-eyed little children, with tangled
golden tresses,
When evening prayer in simple words is said.
Come clinging round her neck with loving,
soft caresses
Then merrily go tripping off to bed.
., happy years of childhood. with thoughts SO
true and loving,
And sweet and guileless days so full OF rest
Our old hearts love to linger, after all our
years of rowing,
And clasp fond mem'ry's pictures to our
breast.
Shall we ever, in that country, the bright and
glorious Heaven,
Win back the simple innocence and bliss
We knew when, in our childhood, in the dear
old home at even,
We received our angel mothers good-nigh
kiss?

Standard Fertilizers

as mentioned below, and there will be no
trouble or disappointment about getting them |
when needed, whether engaged before hand or
not so that purchases need not be made until
the goods are needed. Farmers will find it to
their interests decidedly not to buy elsewhere
before examining our stock, as our motto IS
Low Prices and Terms to
suit the Times.
CASH being exceedingly desirable to us these
hard times, we beg all parties having the ready
money" or ''good credit because OF noted
promptness, to consider their own interests
and our wants, and profit themselves by call
ing on us before they get in trouble with some
thing on their hands not wanted. We mention
some of the leading fertilizers offered by us

For the SPEcTAToR.l
The sunlight, softly fading,
Tips the mountain top with gold
And the shadows slowly gathering
Through the valley, behold.
The tinkle of COW bell
Sounds nearer now, and clear,
And the lone cry of night bird
Falls on my listening ear,
While from the swampy fastness
The croaking of frog
Is mingled with the chirping
Of the cricket in the the bog.
1t is the mystic meeting
OF the angels day and night,
And one has dropped her grey wings
To hide the others flight.
I hear the merry voices
OF teamsters passing by,
While one by one the stars come out
Like jewels in the sky.
A solemn hush is brooding now
Except beyond the hill;
The silvery call is rising
Ola night-bound whippoorwill.
The giant trees, like spectres grim,
Uprear their stalwart branches.
While just beyond, the hills slope down
Like Alpine avaianches.
Oh, solemn dusk, SO calm and still,
That lightly falls DER dale and hill,
You bring me rest and sweet content
From all the cares the day has sent.

DIR. Wallace BOlan.

DR.. Wallace Bolan died at his residence,
Soldiers National Home, Togus, at 100
o'clock A. M, yesterday, his illness being of
about one years duration. He recovered
from the first severe attack so as to attend to
his business duties, but the disease was
strongly intrenched and recently he was again
Frustrated, death resulting. Dr. Bolan was
born in Weld, Me Jan. 9Th, 1910, his father
being DR.. A. Bolan, who practiced medicine
in different portions of Franklin county.
Wallace attended preparatory school at Lew
iston and, entering Bates College, remained
there about year, afterwards studying med
icine with his father. He completed his medi-
cal studies at the Medical School of Harvard
University wht r. he graduated March llth,
1868 Immediately afterwards he entered
the army as Assista Surgeon of the 18th
Maine Regiment, serving his country efficl-
emily in that capacity until 1864, when he
settled in New Sharon for the practice of his
profession. In 1875 he removed to Augusta
practicng medicine here for eight years, be-
ing appointed surgeon of the National Sol
diers' Home, Togus, in 1888, which posi-
ton he has since filled with ability
and faithfulness, and honor to the
profession. He leaves a widow, Frances E.,
and daughter, Marion. The deceased was a
member of Bethlehem Lodge, F. & A. NJ,
this city, and until recently he belonged to
Seth Williams Post The funeral will take
place at his late residence, on Wednesday at
10 o'clock A. NJ. The apnouncemt Mt of DR..
Bolan's death yesterday was sad news to
Augusta citizens, and it was received with
deep regret on every hand. During his resi-
dence in the community he gained the re-
spect and esteem of our citizens as we'll as
their friendship, his genial manner winning
him many friends who tenderly extend their
sympathy to his family in their bereavement.

pro'ements are being made there which add
not only to the good looks of the buila;nos

mails will be completely separated from the

new and capacious green houses have been
Quilt, possessing all the necessary co,ven-
FENCES. They are located just north Of the
main buildings and hard by the steam heat
ing boilers. The buildings are of brick. the
larger being 26xl00 feet, and the other back
OF 1t lOx60; they are connected BY a pottinv
mousse lox26. These are all covered with
glass, and h .at is supplied by steam through
Zooo Feet OF pipe which has been placed in
position. The plants have been removed to
their new quarters and is pronounced one Of
the best constructed and most Convenient set
OF greenhouses in New England The fact
mat the old houses, being built of wood
were rapidly rotting down and the large in
crease In the area Of the garden, made an en-
iargement necessary. The site of the
Old buildings is now being graded off.
In the third male wing we find quite e1-
tensive operations in the way of improve
ments, three new dining rooms, one for each
ward, and as many more parlors having been
quit. In addition to these, six new bath
rooms have been constructed, one for each
ward of the male wing and three for the wing
adjoining The plumbing is about complet-
cd ON these and they will shortly be ready
for use.
The culverts of the new entrance which has
been surveyed by Mr. Capen, from the corner
of the Arsenal fence, will be put in this sea
son, and it is expected that the gravel will
be hauled the coming winter.
The total cost of these improvements will
perhaps reach $1,000 and it is money well
expended.

Two 1856 Gold Medals.

Messrs. Mason & Hamlin again have the
distinguished honor OF having been awarded
the highest gold medal over all exhibitors
American and European, both at Liverpool
and Edinburgh, the two most important ex-
hibitions of the year 1886. Since the first
great Paris exhibition of 1867, the Mason &
Hamln Organs have invariably received the
highest honors at all great worlds exhibitions.
The new mode of piano construction, in
vented and introduced by Mason Hamlin
in 1882. is no longer An experiment but an
assured success, tested and proved, mauy of
the best judges having pronounced 1t the
greatest improvement in pianos OF the
century" BY it musical tones of remark
able brightness and purity are obtained. and
tuning is required less than one-quarter as
often \. in the old system. An illustrated
catalogue, fully explaining the improve
ments, will be sent tree to any address.

Under Blue Skies.

Among American Art Juveniles issued
this year, Under Blue Skies occupies a pre-
eminent, if not the first place. The pictures
and verses are by the talented artst-author,
Mrs. S. J. Brigham. Forty eight original
water colors and monotone illustrations of
incidents of American chld-life are accom-
panied by as many short and entertaining
poems. the whole bound between exquisitely
beautiful double" covers. The most criti-
cal judgement will commend the taste and
skill both of design and workmanship. The
color printing is excellent and the vertical
ton charmngly simple. Indeed, there is
something absolutely be sitching about this
little book. The object of every picture is
intensely chld-iike. Children and flowers
vie with each other in holding ones attention
and every page is an art study because true
to nature and full of ''sweetDess and light.
Children of all sges-and all lovers of chill
dren-will linger lovingly over scenes so
faithful to life and so daintily depicted.
