For the Ellsworth American.
The Universal Church.
A Hymn.
BY JAMES {. CHHCOTT.

BY JAMES c. CHILCoTT.
Thy universal church, Q God,
Upbuili "a temple firm and broad
And lofty as Thy boundless care.
As free as Is Thy common air.
Let its communion board be wide
As love or woe, whste'er betide,
And broad as earth its charity
For all mankind. in bonds or free.
Thy living church, since time began,
Enjoins the brotherhood of man.
That human love be born OF Thine.
And daily business made divine.
Make Thou its priests an earnest band,
The rescuers OF every land;
And let It's sacred altars be
The common things We daily see.
Build consonant with human needs
That capitol OF praise snd deeds.
Expansive as Thy constant good.
And ample as Thy Fatherhood.

Silver Wedding at Bluehill.

Invitations were sent out to large num-
Der of the friends of Mr. and Mrs. +. c.
Mayo to be present at the twenty fifth an
niversary Of their wedding which occurred
Feb. llth; but it was unfortunate that the
date of the anniversary and the date of the
severest snow-storm of the season coin
cided. The result was, the roads were
in so bad condition that the celebra-
ton was postponed until Tuesday evening,
FEB. 10th, when pleasant company num-
bering about fifty persons received cor.
d'al welcome at the residence of Mr.. and
Mrs. Mayo and spent an enjoyable evening
1t Is matter of regret that owing to the
bad travelling and sickness, so many Of the
invited guests were represented only by
the names which were attached to their
gifts. The absent ones missed warm re-
ception. the hospitality Of the host and
hostess, the interchange of greetings with
Old friends and-a silver wedding. We
wish they had all been there. Mrs. Mayo's
mother, Mrs. b W. Hinckley, graced the
occasion with her presence and was so
cheerful, social and young in appearance,
1t was hard to realize she had nearly
reached her eightieth birthday Mr. and
Mrs. Henry Friend of Etna, Mrs Pearl b.
Day and son of Bangor, Mrs Emma Allen

ley and family of Bluehill. were present; !;
all the brothers aud sisters of Mrs Mayo
being present except Mrs. David J. Allen,

sented by Mr.. and Mrs f. W. Mayo MIR.

defects Of children. There should be some

Bogus Veterans.

An alleged veteran of the United States
army writes TO Washington paper that
the government could extingulsh large
number Of pensions by paying the pen
sioners tho present value thereof.
For instance. he states that he is AZ
wears of age. and that supposing that he
will live twenty five years longer, his pen
sion is worth to him $1,000, but that he
would be willing to commute it for $4,000
IN cash, and that the government could
easily raise the funds needed for this pur-
pose by issuing and selling 2 per cent,
bonds.
This plan seems quite feasible, but it
will be still more feasible when the PEN
sion-list shall have been revised and the
names of all pensioners of ill-desert
shall have been stricken therefrom.
In many cases it is a question whether
the pensioner is entitled to anything. The
bogus soldiers outpumber the wer soldiers.
The tendency of the former 10 appear
when the battles are over has been re-
marked in many ages aud in all chimes, and
when they are stimulated by enormous
pensions from the government treasury
nothing can exceed their vivacity or voraci-
ty. They come in from all quarters and
with all sorts of tales of woe.
Thus it is that our pension-list has come
to be q roll of ill desert " instead of a
roll of honor.
