1t is spectre that will cheer,
If spectre it may he,
TO tell her daily of your love,
And for all Eternity.
Even when the silvery threads
| Are turning black to gray,
1T streWs the rose along her path
10 hear you sometimes say,
That she Is just as dear to you,
Aud lovely in your sight,
AS when she was your darling girl
Upon that moonlight night.
mat silvery night so long ago
When only twinkling stars
Could hear your love, you told her of
Down by the pasture bars.
The dew had fallen on the grass:
The Wood!ark sang his song
The hour was just the time for love-
In its joy you fingered long.
Ii those sweet vows for all of us
Would shape our future lives,
How sweet the difference in our homes
In the thought that bliss implies;
There never would be aching hearts
In cheerless, loveless homes,
And saddened. men and women drear
In this cold world to roam.
KATE NJ. CHAPMAN, Vollmer.
The Lewiston State Normal School
building is now receiving the finishing
touches and is not only credit to the
City but will ever live as a monument
to the State as an educatioha institute.
We should ever feel grateful to our lib.
erai, good government for the endow-
ment of fifty thousand acres of land
FOR the support and maintenance of
this building.
The building has been pronounced
by nearly all who are competent
Judges to be the best and most at
tractive building in the State, consid-
ering the cost.
Mr.. Madgwick. the contractor, made
a very low bid and while he has been
compelled to use AL economy possible
and comply with the contract and
specifications, he has done good, neat
and substantial work.
Mr. Thomas has constructed a good.
substantial fence around the ten acre
tract and laid sidewalks which adds
very mach to the appearance of the
property. Mr.. Doss has set ont a row
OF Black Locust trees every % feet all
around The 10 acres, and is now plow-
ing and seeding it to blue grass and
setting GU. many varieties of shade
trees. With the water work, being
put in to irrigate it it will soom be
lovely spot compared with the City
Park. which lies along side of 1t of
equal dimensions. Our City Council
will surely shake the dust off of their
messy backs and fence and clear off
the sage brush and plant out Locust
and other trees which do not require
any irrigation. A fence like the Nor
NAL. School would be the proper tmng
and if the trees were set out we would
soon have nice grove, where plcnics
and social gatherings could assemble
"a pleasure resort which all cities of
enterprising inhabitants have. Some
will object because it is on The Hill
That is not the proper spirit. The
Hill people do not complain of TIE
much needed sewerage system and
widening and improving the streets at
large expenditure and drain on The
City treasury. We Contribute our
mite to the public Glib ana ask a little
in return. This would not be for The
Hill alone, but it is for the Park of the
City of Lewiston aud in the language
of our good citizen, c. A. Thatcher,
at would be a Daisy and Joy Forever"
where we could take our best girl and
stroll under the cool shade and rest
upon coy rustic seat, instead of
lodging arond in the sage brush and
sand.
Lewiston will make n city if you
will only give her half a chance. The
whole cost would not exceed 500 or 600
dollars. or about soc each for every in
habitant. This would be wise eX-
penditure-Lets have it.
