FIFTY YEARS AGO.

IT'S fifty years ago. dear John. just fifty years
ago;
Seems like twas only yesterday heard you
tell me so:
Do remember sayin' yes, Well. John, we're
gettin' old
And trinity now. and ainr sure my mem'ry is
so bold:
And yet, s'pose must "a said a thing or two
in play,
For you were rather sassy. John. goin' home
that day.
just think it's fifty years, dear John just fifty
years ago,
Sence you and me stood up afore old Parson
Ganderblow
And said we'd have each other. shore. for bet
ter or for wuss
Did ever ! get sick of it, Now. John, don't
make a fuss
Bout nothin', for low thurs times a bad
trade turns to good
When mems wives nuss their patience as Chris
tian people should.
In all these ups and downs. dear John. sence
fifty years ago
We Joined our hearts and hands, the Lord alone
can fully know
What you have been to me. John, or have
been to you:
For He secs, though oft we've stumbled, that
our poor old hearts are true,
And that l will be thinking of you, John. as
you will be thinking Of me
When our fifty years below have long been
lost in eternity.

A Conner Plate Fnnnd.

1t was piece of shining, bright metal,
and the fisherman's eyes were sharp.
And thereby hangs tale.
1t will be remembered that when the
barkentine Thomas J. Stewart stuck on
the ways and refused to take to the
water one day last November, the tug
boat Ralph Ross went to her assistance.
After one or two sharp pulls that were
Intellectual, all further proceedings were
stopped by the sudden breaking of the
post on the Ross to which was attached
the tow line of the T. j. Stewart.
Now. to this post was secured large
copper plate weighing about twelve
pounds, bearing the inscription of the
builders name, date of building and so
on This plate dropped overheard with
the wreckage and was lost.
Wednesday fisherman attending his
weirs at Sandy point saw glistening
object in the water, and after much diff
iculty succeeded in obtaining possession
OF it 1t was copper plate bearing the
inscription which proved to be the one
lost from the tug Ralph Ross last No
vember. The plate was returned to Mr..
Ross on Thursday at his Office.
The query is, How did that plate reach
Sandy point. twenty-five miles away?
1t is hardly reasonable to say that the
current could have carried so heavy
body so far down the river, and it is
readily explained by stating that the ice
in some underhand fashion obtained pos
session of the Ralph Ross passport, and
in its hurried journey to the south this
spring forgot to leave it behind. 1t did
not travel far under false pretenses,
however. but has dropped its booty,
which is now returned to its proper
owners
Mr. Ross is to have the plate polished,
handsomely framed and hung on the
wall of his Office on Exchange street as a
reminder of the queer things that Dame
Nature will sometimes do. = Bangor

Mr.. Sears. Imported Razorbacls

The Tamworth hogs. which j. Mont
gomery Sears has imported for breeding
purposes, are an old English breed char
acterized by the large proportion of lean
meat to the fat in its make up. 1t has of
late been overlooked in the effort to breed
for fat, hence has seldom been mentioned
or heard of. Mr.. Sears has called public
attention to the breed by his importa-
tions, and still others now have them
under trial They are medium in size,
light in the shoulder, deep sided, and
rather fat as compared with the modern
models, and "red" in color. Their recon-
mendation is that they are unlike the
rounded balls Of fat that have been fur
nishing Us our models.-Bangor Com

The Editors Hope.

We hope this is true. We should like
it to be true; to put it on record among
the wonderful doings of Northampto
citizens. This is the story: w. H. Pratt
was fishing in the old bed in about three
feet of water when he noticed fine
pound and half pickerel chewing his
hook. Slowly, carefully he began to
haul him in, when around the captured
fish the waters rolled in wild commo-
ton and a huge fish about three feet
long was seen making frantic efforts to
swallow the pickerel. Mr.. Pratt waded
out to catch closer glimpse of the mon
ster, who, with wicked roll of the eye,
turned tail and made off, leaving track
as large as the wake of steamer

Definition of a Bore.

You call So-and-so bore. What is
bore? asks Bishop Selwyn. "lt is a
man who will persist in talking about
himself when you want to talk about
yourself'-or, we may add, in telling
stories when you want to be telling
them. Coleridge says he used to be
much amused with Tobin and Goodwin.
'Tobin would poster me with stories of
Godwin's dizziness, and upon his depar-
ture Goodwin would drop in just to say
that Tobin was more dull than ever."-

An English gentleman, not a poet and
not recently deceased, always wore in a
braided necklace about his neck the long,
beautiful hair which he cut from his
wife's head during her illness. The doc

and the husband allowed no one to cut
it but himself, that he might preserve
each shining strand.

AN INTERESTING SCENE,

Long live the Sisters of CHARITY" was
the cry OIL all sides, in the wards, the
corridors, etc. All were full of emo
ton. After the presentation the pasha
returned to the divan to take part in
a Turkish religious service. Allah!
Allah cried out the assistants, opening
wide their arms and invoking blessings
on the sisters and the sick.
The military doctor, on being present
ed to Sister Sion, said, "Sister, | beg
you to employ all your influence with
the pasta to obtain me eight beds, SO
that my poor sick soldiers may be prop
erly nursed."
Sixteen doctors of the city who had
been invited to the opening were pre-
sented by the physician of the hospital
to the pasha and the sisters The rabbis,
the Mussulman and Schismatic chiefs
came also to address their congratula-
tons to them. Finally the president of
the municipal council assembled all the
personnel of the establishment. before the
sisters.
A moving scene then took place He
caused all to swear respect to the sisters
first of all the medical staff, then the
pharmacists, the nurses, cooks, garden
ers and porters. Each came up accord
ing to his rank and swore in his own
language and manner what was asked.
When the last had retired the presi-
dent said: Sisters, confide this house
to you. You are at home. need not
beg you to act as mothers among your
ildren."-Tablet.

Work-An Impressive Scene.
A most interesting article of The Jour

scene which took place in Jerusalem.
line need of municipal hospital for the
reception of all the sick Of the city had
long been felt in Jerusalem. The pasha,
an excellent man. has just carried out
TINS important work, which had already
been begun by his predecessor. Rahouf
Pasha.
But whom to put in care of the sick?
jewish nurses?-for half the population
is Jewish, and $4,000 more Jews from
Russia are expected. Or Mussulmans?--
tor Mussulmans are also numerous Or
Greeks or Armenians, Copts or Catho-
lies? The question long remained with
out solution.
Finally the president of the municipal
council, accompanied by two Effendis,
presented himself before Sister Sion, su-
perloress of the Daughters of Charity,
and asked her to give some of her nuns
for the service of the hospital. She at
once asked from her superiors the per-
mission to accept the invitation, and a
lew days later the municipality itself
came to thank the sisters for their con-
sent, and beg them at once to arrange
the house for the reception of the sick.

for the sisters. But at length they as

dragomans.
On their entry all arose. "You are
welcome, sisters" said the pasta in ex-
cellent French. II am too much aston

to this house, in which you have been
working for only three days, to be able
to congratulate you as ought" 'Your

Piled the pasha, ''and we can only con-
graduate ourselves on our choice" The
whole meeting testified to their pro-
found sympathy and agreement. "Do
you find anything wanting, gentlemen,
or is everything as you wish?" said the
pasha, turning to the authorities.
"For my part" said the grand rabbi,
