The large rate of increase in the I'm

The MOSES drape your low, brown caves,
And sparrows fit among the leaves,

gathered wealth of daisy sheaves,
And told time by the four-o clocks!
The stately soldiery still stands
On guard, like red-plumed grenadiers,
But my heart cries: THE years! The

This furrowed brow-these empty hands!
The ranks swim in a mist of tears,
And voices call from spirit landsl
Here. In the happy long ago,
IL summer noontides halt-asleep,
J was a shepherdess of sheep,
1he clouds above. my flocks of snow;
The south wind bade the lambkins leap,
laughed to see them frolic so!
- sentriesl Let me pass, pray!
Down your green lines unchallengcd
roam;
The dear old paths-the dear old home
.rhe dear old haunts of yesterday!
o let me in! For have come
Such long-such a weary way!

Maine Mast Team. of Long Ago.

"One of the sights that enlivened the
spirits of the Readfield small boy of 90
years ago." says former Readfieid boy,
twas the passage through that village
of the mast teams on their way from
Chesterfield or Pennington or more
distant points TO the tide water at Hal
lowell or Gardiner. Many of these
sticks were worth going distance to
see, even in those days when forest
giants were plentiful. The emitting
these in the back country and taking
them to the scashore made an impor-
tant branch of business, and we used to
see many of them pass, each drawn by
a long string Of cattle managed by a
number of drivers who were 80 expert
at shouting to make the oxen stand up
solid TO the bow, TINT they could rouse
half the township with their voices.
Some of these big masts were worth
hundreds of dollars when they were got
TO the seashore. We wonder II mast
team has been seen anywhere in Maine
In the last quarter of a century?"-.

HUNTING WITH HAWKS.
The Persian SpOrtsmRn's Equipment
When He Goes for Game.

When He Goes for Game.
In the early spring hunting and hawk
ing are the chief amusements of the Eu.
ropean residents of Teheran, Persia.
One of these sporting parties l was in
vited to join during my sojourn. The
pack and hawks were supplied by some
of the higher native officials. We
formed a cavalcade consisting of ten or
twelve Europeans, each accompanied
by a couple of mounted servants, the
huntsman and falconers. The best COW
ers for hares and foxes were to the
south of the town, on large tract of
the cultivated plain, which is a good
deal cut up by the open shafts of the
linanats, or subterranean water courses.
The huntsmen, with their hawks on
their wrists, or holding the pack in
leash, rode a little to the front of the
line of sportsmen until a find was an
nOunced, when either the one or the
other was let loose in pursuit of the
quarry. The hawk swooped down on
its prey, and, il successful, nlighted on
its head and held it till the huntsmen
came up. The pack was composed of
several couples of Persian greyhounds,
which, by the way, have feathered ears
and tails, and are much slower than the
English and American ones.
All Persians are justly proud of their
riding. From childhood they are ac-
customed 10 the saddle, and their be-
lief in fatalism, no doubt, cOnduces TO
render them fearless in II. They are as
bold and daring horsemen as have
ever seen, and delight in showing OFF
their deXterity. One of their great
amusements is shooting from horse
back. and they show wonderful skill In
thus bringing down ground game at
full gallop. This is more remarkable,
as they have no idea of shooting at a
bird on the wing-indeed, never at
tempt lt.-Outing.
