o son, thou hast not humility,
The highest virtue, mother Of them all,
For when the Lord Of all things made
Himself
Naked of glory for his mortal charge.
"Take thou my role she said, "for all is
Thi 1e,"
And all her form shone forth with sudden
light,
So that the angels were amazed, and she
Followed him down, and like a flying
star
Led on the grey-haired wisdom of the
East.
But her thou has not known; for what is
this
Thou has not lost thyself to save thyself
AS Galahad.

THOUGHTS FROM TENNY-
SON,

-Howe'er it be, it seems to me-
'Tis only noble to be good,
Kind hearts are more than coro-
nets,
And simple fifth than Norman
blood.
Lady Clara We're de vere,"
Love took up the harp of life, and
smote on all the chords with
might;
Smote the chord of Self, that trembling
passed in music out of sight,
-'Locksley Hail.
Whatever crazy sorrow saith,
No life that breathes with human breath
Has ever truly longed for death,
'Tis life whereof our nerves are scant,
o life, not death, for which we pant;
More life, and fuller, that 1 want.
1.-THE Two Voices"
Fame with men,
Being not ampler means to serve man
kind,
Should have small rest or pleasure in
herself,
But work as vassel to the larger love,
That dwarfs the petty 1--we of one to

A Fine Display of Christmas Goods at At

Atkinson's great show window on Mid
die street presents most tempting
sight.
Il "A large part of the Middle street side
Of the big store is given over to the dis
play of holiday goods Of almost every de-
scription and the tasteful arrangement,
quantity, quality and variety Of the hand
some articles in view make the window
wonderfully attractive.
Most noticeable in the display are the
large Japanese vases. banquet lamps,
onyx tables, mirrors and elaborate
French clocks. The lamps have some of
the handsomest shades that can be
bought anywhere. Among the finer
china are the Tepletz and the Royal
Worcester The Jardiniers are also very
noticeable features of the window. Be-
sides these there are silver toilet articles
in repousse work, vases of various
makes, umbrella stands, table ware and
valuable and handsome fancy goods in
almost endless variety.
Anyone who is thinking of Christmas
gifts cannot do better than see what an
elaborate stock Atkinson has to choose
from.

Helm the Little Ones.

The parlors of Mrs. Hunt, on State
street, have been quite transformed to-
day in the arrangement of the dolls loan
exhibition. As one enters the front
room the attention is first attracted by a
picture in the eastern corner, where
there are about thirty imported dolls
dressed in their native costumes with
the Goddess of Liberty at the top of the
pyramid. On the left of the door are
scenes from Mother Goose illustrated
with dolls, and Mother Goose herself
will be in attendance. In the southern
corner Robinson Crusoe and his man
Friday are holding a council with some
natives of the island, Friday acting as in
terpreter. Following along the side of
the room fifty OF more dolls are ar
ranged, among which we notice two
which are nearly a century old, and some
other curious dolls. Next comes Ruth
Cleveland and such an array of lovely
dolls as will delight the hearts of the
children. Baby McKee, is also present.

some young misses will have charge of
the fancy and useful articles which are
for sale, and also some homemade
candies. The admission fee of ten cents
will help to add little to the amount
which the children are trying to secure
for the Day Nursery and Free Kinder
garten The loan exhibition and sale
will be opened at 10 o'clock, and will be
continued during the day and evening.

Place at the Worlds Fair-Some Paint
ings and Models of Fine Old Craft
Privateers and Clippers.
One of the most interesting exhibits
which the State Of Maine will make at

have done in shipbuilding in the past
and what we are doing at present. Mr..

the old privateers to the latest men-of
war now building at Bath.
Mr.. Plummer has just made to Cen
eral Mattocks partial report of what he
has done in the shipping towns from
Bath east to Camden. He has found
much excellent material for the exhibit
ton. Among the fine paintings is one,
four by five feet in size. of the great ship
Frederick Billings. tits a fine work of
art and lifelike reproduction of one of
the most magnificent ships ever launched
in Maine. In Damariscotta and Newcas-
tie he has secured the log of Captain Os-
goods trip around the world when he
broke all records; several models from
Metcalf, Turkey, Hilton and others, in
Guiding the American Union, the first
three-decker built in Maine; the Flying
Scud, which made the best two days
successive runs, and the Ocean Herald,
all vessels of the clipper days.
In Rockland, aided by Mr.. Xix, he has
got models Of the Young Mechanic, con-
sidered the handsomest ship of her time
and one Of the fastest. From Cobb g
White he has got several models, mostly
later types. Israel Snow furnishes a
dozen from collection Of. about 50.
Is In Thomaston he has found a model of
the Talleyrand and Charlemagne, also a
curious old log book of 1876.
q Mr.. Plummer will soon visit Rideout
q Ladd of Calais, @. P. Carter of Bel
fast, A. J. Nickerson of Searsport, the
Soules of Freeport, who built privateers,
Ingraham of Yarmouth, and Southland of

Communicated.

I'VE publish below a communities
ton from Lincoln Abraham contradict
ing certain charges brought against
candidate for sheriff. Israel Roberts,
supporting that he was using his in
fiuenee to elect the democratic nomi-
nee for sheriff. We are totally ignorant
as to the truthfulness of these charges,
but don't feel like taking any stock in
the assertions, it indeed they were
made at all. If made, they were made
by enemies of Mr.. Miller to injure him.
Mr. Jacob Miller is a man of sterling
qualifications and is eminently fitted to
perform the duties of the Office of
sheriff of this county. His candidacy,
furthermore, appeals direct to the suff-
rage of the noble heroes of the war,
and that he Will receive the loyal sup
port and vote of every veteran we are
confident. That neither Mr.. Miller
nor any who have given HIM support
have ever said or done anything that
could possibly affect the candidacy of
Mr. Roberts, we know to be fact,
aud that Mr. Miller is a loyal republic
can, an honored and battle scared hero
Of the late war, is enough political
prestige to secure bis election, no mat
ter what is SAID or done to defeat him
Mr. EDITOR: regret the necessity
of writing this article. 1t would seem
that in the nlnetet nth century ard in
this enl ghtened America, a political
campaign might be carried on without
so much villifcat on. The INSCRIPTIONS
politician is in the field as usual, ready
to stoop to anything, no matter how
low and mean, in order to carry out
his plans. Reports are coming in to
prohibition headquarters from our
friends in different parts of the county
stating that it is being circulated that
Israel Roberts, candidate for sheriff on
the prob bition ticket, is endeavoring
to defeat MIR Miller and elect his OPP
ponet. Other reports are being circu-
lated. All of these are false in every
particular and beneath the dignity of
any one to repeat, and are only circu
lated for the purpose Of injuring Mr.
Roberts candidacy. 1t was only after
the earnest solicitation of friends that
he allowed his name to be used as
nomineef for sheriff, The factis. Mr. Rob-
erts election is not an uncertainty, He
receives not only hearty endorsement
of his own party, but also large per
cent of al parties, and especially is this
true in West Grant where he was raised
and is best known. He is ACKNOWLEDGED
by his opponents to be a man of unim
peachable character and above the mean
things that characterize the unscrupu-
lous politician. If elected he will give
US an example in economy in the ad
minstration of the duties of sheriff
such as Grant county has not seen for
years. He is a veteran of the late war
and will receive the heariy support of
comrades. LINCOLN ABRAHAM.
