PORTLAND CONVENTION
Why the Date was Changed to June
l2.
Especial to the kennesec journal.

Special to the kennesec journal.
BANGOR, April 26.
day concerning the change of the date of the
Portland convention, and not a few have
thought that there might be some political
significance in it. The facts are
these: The delegates from Eastern Maine
represented to the State Committee that they
could not get to Portland on the 25th of June
since the boats did not make their trips so as
TO accommodate them to that date. They
therefore requested that the date be fixed on
the 10Th. Other delegates represented that
the time expiring between the date of the
National convention and the date of the State
convention was so short that those who had
other business in the West to attend to on
that trip, would not be able to do so but
would be compelled to hurry home, 1t was
then suggested by member of the COM
mittee that June or IL be selected, either
date accommodating the Eastern Maine del
egates, and after thorough canvass of the
sentiment of the convention delegates pres
ent, June ~ was decided upon. The change
was acquiesced in by the candidates for the
governorshp and all who understand the
reasons for the change have approved.

Not Afraid.

A volume of annals of old Philadelphia
contains an anecdote OF Franklin, which
will, we think, be new to our readers.
A few days after he began to publish a
newspaper he commented sharply upon the
dishonest conduct of certain influential and
wealthy town officials. Three or four of his
young friends, mechanics like himself, anX-
ious to rise in the world, sharply reproved
him for his imprudence, and told him that a
poor man could not afford thus to make en-
emes.
Franklin listened in silence and patience,
and when the lecture was over asked his
critics to sup with him. They came, and sat
down, expecting a luxurious meal, such as
was common in those days among the well
TODD. Before each guest, however, was a
bowl of mush and milk and pitcher of wa
ter. They tried in vain to swallow the coarse
fare, watching Franklin as he emptied his
bowl with evident relish. When he had end
ed, he said:
That is my usual supper. l have an adj
vantage over you, as you see; for when a
man can live on sawdust pudding and water
he needs no patronage"

Are damp with maarial gloom,
Its gardens are sere and its forests drear,
And everywhere moulders a tomb.
Who seeks to regain its lost pleasures
Finds only a rose turned to dust,
And It's storehouse OF wonderful treasures
Is covered and coated with dust.
Keep out Of the past 1t is haunted,
He who in its avenues gropes
Shall find there the ghost of JOY priced the
most,
And skeleton throng of dead hopes.
In place of Its beautiful rivers
Lie pools that are staRnant with slime,
And those graves cleaning bright in the phos-
phorus light
Cover dreams that were slain in their prime.
Keep out of the past 1t is lonely
All barren and bleak to the view,
Its fires have grown cold and its stories are old,
Turn, turn, TO the present, the new!
To-day leads you up to the hill tops,
That are kissed by the radiant sun,
To-day shows no tomb, all life's hopes in bloom.
And to-day holds prize to be won: ,
