My Friend.

Old river, you knew was coming.
And YOU broke your bonds Of ice.
To be the first TO welcome me;
should have missed you In a trice.
Already had listened to catch
The plssh and fall
OF the water over the mill-dam
With its old familiar call
have rode by fair Penobscot,
And by the broad St. John;
All the time thought OF YOU
And wished that was home.
For were You not my playmate
When was but a child:
can ne'er forget your songs TO me,
Though now they seem weird and wild.
To me you were always beautiful,
Always so strange and free;
How often would have followed on
Ont 10 the boundless sea,
But your singing always staid me.
Made me more brave TO stay.
In your song you were always telling
OF the fair in life'> drear day.
Tonight you make me welcome
To roam thy banks again,
To Skip ss OF yore to the music
Or join in the sad refrain.
pray when wander back,
My life's work at an end
may he laid within sound OF thy singing,
Ny loved. my constant friend.

three of the figures of the sum remain to-

The Neao Peterson for February is an
advance on the January number, admirable
as that was in every respect. The illustra
tions are still better and more numerous,
and the stories and miscellaneous articles
are as good as they are varied. 1.-The
Evolution of Comic Opera" by Edward
Stephens, is very clever record of that
favorite amusement and gives capital por-
traits of the leading singers of the day.
La Perdida" is one Of Gertrude Atherton's
most dramatic stories Of early California
days and is effectively illustrated. The
Ne,r Peterson Is meeting from the outset
with complete success which Is certain
to last, because it is thoroughly deserved.

A Rockland young man shot the family

A Rockland young man shot the family
cat the other night, and next morning es-
sayed to bury the animal. but the stiffiy
frozen ground rendered grave digging i'm
possible. So he wrapped the cold remains
of pussy into neat package and presented
it at one of the local Chinese laundries.
John gravely made out a receipt for three
shirts, written in tea-chest hieroglyphics,
with which the young man departed
grateful to be relieved of his burden. He
hasn't been around yet to see how John
felt regarding the pleasant little surprise,
but as it meant free lunch for him, there
probably wasn't very much sorrow.

Something Queer in the Numbers 8 and 7.

Mr.. John w. kirk-the white haired
veteran who was with Morse when the first
working telegraph line was stretched, and
who stood beside the great inventor when
the first message was transmitted from
Annapolis junction to Washington, has
made during his life great many inter-
esting calculations in numbers. The two
most remarkable numbers in the world are
3 and I.
The numeral seven," says Mr.. Kirk,
'the Arabians got from India, and all fol-
lowing have taken 1t from the Arabians.
II is conspicuous In biblical lore, being
mentioned over 300 times in the scriptures,
either alone or compounded with other
words. 1t seems a favorite numeral with
the divine mind, outside as well as inside
the Bible, as nature demonstrates in many
ways. and all the other numerals bow to 1t.
There Is also another divine favorite, the
number three, the Trinity. This is brought
out by combination of figures that Is
somewhat remarkable 1t is the SIX hg-

The publishers of The National M1gd-
zine have acquired the Magazine Of Ameri-
can History, which was edited by Mrs.
Martha J. Lamb until her death on Janu-
ary Sd, last. With the February issue
these two leading historical journals are
merged into one, and the name, Magazine
of american History, that of the older Pc
riodical, now In its 29th volume, is re-
tanned. The February number Of the Mag
aztne of american History, the first pre-
sented by the new publishers since the
consolidation with the National Magazine,
contains so many extremely interesting
and important papers, as to make it the
most admirable issue of an American his
