be constantly reminded of the worth and
meaning of its guardianship and of the allie
glance you owe to it. They do not mean to
stimulate the boys to longing to prove on
the battlefield their love for 1t, or to the
girls to the hope that they may have an OPP
portunity to show the spirit and the helpful
ness that have ever characterized American
women when their sons and brothers were
called to battle. Learn the meaning and the
history of the flag; become imbued with the
glory Of its traditions; think of the great and
good who planted and have sustained 1t, and
of the thousands who have been faithful to
it to death; so, as it daily greets your eyes,
you will regard it with an ever-growing en-
thusiasm, deep, strong love that will guide
you In the way Of duty to your country in
Remember the injunction of Philip Nolan
TO his boy companion in Hale's "The Man
without 9 Country" story worthy to go
with the flag as a textbook: land for your
throat, and for that flag, and he pointed
to the ship, never dream a dream but of
serving her as she bids you, though the SER
vice carry you through thousand bells. No
matter what happens to you, no matter who
fiatters. you. or who abuses you. never look
at another flag, never let a night pass but
you pray God to bless that flag. Remember
boy, that behind all these men you have TO
do with, behind officers, and government,
and people, even. there is the country her.

her as you belong to your own mother
Stand by her, boy, as you would stand by
your own mother If those devils there had
got hold of her today"
The Puritan ancestors of the people of
New England whose blood, spirit and prin-
ciples have so permeated the republic and
exercised such influence upon its character.
believed with the deepest sincerity of CON
viction in the direct interpositi0n of the
hand OF God in the affairs of men. The
wonderful series of events which have at
tended the history of our country, the SEEM
ing ills that turned to good, the favoring Sc
quences, the combinations of means to ends,
have In so many Of Its features been wrought
out by some power not traceable to the wis
dom and foresight of men, as to maintain
that belief in the minds of many of their de-
scendants. Surely 1t Is q noble, a potent and
a saving faith. But it compels correspond
ing obligations. 1t requires us to love and
guard the flag OF our country as the emblem
OF human brotherhood, of malice toward
none and charity for all;'' to keep it un-
spotted by base passions and ambitions and
true to every principle in accord with immu.
table right and justice. In that love and
honor lies the puissant guaranty of the
strength. advancement and peace of our
country. The flag so loved and honored will
serve and save her in whatever stress may
come upon her. Even when the enemy
shall come in like flood, the Spirit of the
Lord shall set up standard against him."
Shaw's Quartette then gave another song.
The most interesting exercises closed
with the singing of America and benediction
by Rev. DIR. Dunn.

SMOKE AND FLAME WOKE THEM.
TWO Families Living on Park Street
Burned Out This Morning.

The alarm from box GA at half past one
this morning was caused by a fire in the
house of Mr.. Samuel Rhodes,
short distance above York on
Park street. The house is a two-story
wooden building. Mr.. Rhodes occupies the
lower floor and Mr.. C. Il. Thomas the upper.
The fire apparently originated around a
chimney, the smoke filling the apartments
occupied by Mr.. Thomas and waking him up.
Mr.. Thomas awoke Mr.. Rhodes by pounding
on the floor and then made a rush for out
doors with his wife and child through the
binding smoke. leaving his vest containing
$53 and his watch behind him on chair near
the chimney around which the fire was burn
ing. Ernest Leonard, a nephew of Mr..
Rhodes who lives with his uncle, ran to the
house of Falmouth Engine Company on
Spring street and gave the alarm, the
driver of the hose cart turning in a general
alarm as soon as he reached the house and saw
the blaze which had acquired considerable
Roadway. The fire worked its way up into
the attic where 1t gave the men considerable
trouble before it was put out
Mr.. Rhodes got out most of his furniture
He had an insurance of about, as near as he
could remember, 5000 on the house. The
losswill not exceed a few hundred dol
lars. Mr.. Thomas had an insurance of $500
on his household effects in the agency of
Rollins & Adams. He did not get out any
of his furniture which was badly damaged
by smoke and water.
Mr.. Bert johnson, who boarded with Mr..
Rhodes, was looking at the operations of the
fremen and wondering as to the condition of
his wearing apparel, most of which he left
behind him when he made his very hasty
toilet

No Carriers Addresses This Year.

The PRESS will this year part company
for good with an ancient and time honored
custom. Time out of mind on each New
Years morning Carriers Address has
been presented to the subscribers of the
Portland papers, who in turn have been ex-
pected to reciprocate with the coin Of the
land. As the address, poetical though it he,
is never 1.-THE of the equivalent in value of
the cash expected for 1t, the donation
amounts In reality to an extra charge for the
paper. We know that the PRESS is well
worth more than the 5000 year which the
advance subscriber pays for it; but as only
SCOOPS nominated In the bond We are bound
that the sum shall not be increased by an
extra charge for midwintei poetry. The
young men who carry the PRESS are paid
for their services by the publishers; and no
patron need feel under obligations to add to
their compensation.

Alexander Hamilton.


At about O'Clock yesterday morning
there was an alarm from box SO, and the de-
partment found small story and one-half
building ON York street, near the corner of
Bracket, on fire. The fire was in the roof,
which was partly burned before the
flames could be got under control. 1t was
necessary to put on considerable water,
which flooded the lower floor. The building
is owned by Mrs. Georgia d. Perry, the po-
lice matron, and Joseph Melcher kept a
small fancy goods store in the first story.
The damage to the building is not extensive
but new roof will have to be put on. The
goods of Mr.. Melcher were drenched but the
stock was too small to cause over few hun
dred dollars loss in all.

The High school Graduates,

The names of Frank II. Jordan and James
T. McCobb, were accidentally omitted from
the class of 1866. There was also a class
graduated in February 1866 composed entire
ly Of ladies that included Miss Mary S. Nc
Cobb ard Miss Kate Fuller, now Mrs. Henry
P. Larrabee. The other names we have not
at hand. The reason of there being two
graduations in one year was that there were
five classes of girls and four of boys, and
this was done to even up the classes and do
away with what was then the intermediate
school for girls.
