ment either sympathized with 1t or were in
different to 1t.
AT the same time. the inhabitants Of the
plantation called Royalsborough, New
a town. included part Of the upper end Of
the Gore; whereup0n Elijah Pinkham, Ezra
Jordan, Marlboro Sylvester, Barstow Syl-
yester, James Sawyer, Job Douglass and
Elisha Goddard demonstrated. They said
that they lived on the upper part Of the Gore,
and the line Of the proposed town would cut
their farms they prayed that the line of the
Gore might be established as described in
their remonstrance and that they might re-
main as they were until the whole Gore
should be annexed to North Yarmouth or
Brunswick.
On June q, 1857, the papers were referred
by the legislature to committee to hear the
parties and report, but no Enal action was
taken at that session.
The matter was taken up at the session Of
1873. and on Nov. 4th, the papers were again
port. The daily Legislative Journal" was
not then published, and we have no account
OF what passed in the committee room, nor
even In The legislative halls. except the pro-
ceedings shown In the official journal; that
porating the town passed both houses, and
was approved by John Hancock, the COVER
nor OF the commonwealth.
The town did not receive the name, Green,
proposed In the petition, undoubtedly be-
cause there was already another town OF
whom the name that it did receive was sug-
gested; the tradition that the name had ref
erence to the character Of the bay In front Of
the town, is probably we'll founded.
The division line adopted was neither the
one proposed by the petitioners nor that pro-
posed by the remonstrants; the line in the
back part of the town corresponds to that
proposed by the latter, but the line between
the present town and Yarmouth was first
and probably was the result of compromise
by the parties, or splitting Of the differ
e1ce" by the committee; the Gore was in
cluded In the town as we'll as all the islands
tersected by the westerly line remained in
North Yarmouth.
The usual provisions were made in rela
tion to the taxes, debt, town property and
the towns poor" The respective valuations

Shall make by law his fellow-man his slave;
For Gods great granary of earth shall be
No longer fenced, but, as the winds are, free.
What sturdy sons thy lap hath given to fame
Where learning builds, let Rochester proclaim.
What inspiration from thy fields hath sprung
To lend art hues and piety tongue

Hear what Rnone's pictured beauty salthi
Our pulses leap, we glow with filial pride,
Yet Is unspokcn more than all beside.
0 brave young souls that at your country's call
Gave life itself, and deemed the offering small,

May tyrants fitch our liberties away.

records are still preserved. New settlers
came in; and the prospect for a rapid in
crease of population was exceedingly good.
But in the latter part of 1858, another Indian
war broke out, and very soon after the in
habitants were again compelled to abandon
their homes and all of their property which
they could not take with them, to be de-
stroyed by the implacable enemy. The war
continued with brief intermission for if
teen years and the history of the town dur
ing that time is blank. Indeed, it seemed
as II the threat Of the indians that every
drop of blood Of every white man should
soak into the earth was sbout to be carried
into execution. Fort Loyal at Portland fell,
the garrison was massacred or carried cap
tive, and the larger settlements in the most
western part Of the State barely escaped
utter destruction.
1t was some years after the close of the
war before any formal proceedings took
place to resettle the old town. The commit
tee In charge In 1851 laid out the town on

braced the whole peninsula between Broad

How dear these love thee, In thy sheltering nest,
Thy happier children, all their lives attest;
But they no less that under alien skies
In fearful memory mark thy homes arise.
The fevered sailor on the Spanish Main
Sees in thy springs his boyhood's face again.
The homeless toiler mid the cIty's roar
In midnight watches visits thee once more,
Retraces every step his childhood trod.
And In his garrett plueks thy golden-rod,
Or breathes the fragrance Of the mayiower meek
One moment that blots out the citys reek
And even those whose sun sets in the sea
Prairie and mountain cannot part from thee.

Thy children yield them divided love.
Let now the homage all have paid so long,
In grateful silence, voice itself In song,
While flock thy nurselings from the ends OF earth
To greet thee on thy second century's birth.
o Mother Town, thy children love thee WE'LL
For what they love thee let our praises tell.
Thy skies we love, whether they laugh with blue,
Or frown with clouds the tempest hurtIes

Such blessings here we need not, satisfied
With one chief good that beggars all beside.
For here, the lodestar even Of those that roam,
Our lives have found, as nowhere else the HOME.
Resting ON earth, but leading up to heaven,
Like Bethel's ladder, home 10 man was given.
First ray OF love In sslfs bensghted life,
The care for other self In man or wife.
Then pity quickened for the crying child,
Last, duty; and the man that roamed the wild,
Chief brute In cunning, but with death his goal
Breathed on by God became living soul.

When all the world was new and all was good,
And midmost of the world the house hold stood.

As oft the gulf that parts men side by side.

One word the poet brings not free from fears,
Dear Nome Town, let men ever call thee so;
Guard well the fount from which thy virtues now.
Only thy homes can rear thee manly sons
And daughters gentle, as thine earlier ones.
Only thy homes, when dawns this day again,
Can bring thee love like ours from future men,

No fear be thine II thou hast homes for ALL
Assured OF this. let drowning rains descend,
And all the winds their wrath against thee bend;
The neeting sands may shift with every shock

Only when perfect homes prepare the hour;
The perfect flower OF Earth, the perfect pair,
Whose Eden yet awaits them everywherei

Displaced the trees that on their sites had grown
Yet In their aIsles and arches but renewed

The purpose of an address upon centen-
nial anniversary is to narrate the historical
events of Importance, connected with the
event celebrated. In the brief time which
can be devoted to such an address, an exceed
ingly small portion of the ground can be
covered. This is especially true when, as in
this case, previous history embracing a
period OF nearly century and a half. is as
much part Of the subject as that of the GEN.
