that dream g. Ioyhood's Joyful days,
then tramping Ger the meadows wild and
free,
With not .Are or furrow on our brow
To change 3 heart beat III the last degree.
We scaled the hillside as in younger days
And drank from hidden spring . Quenching
glass
That sparkled bright with sunlight's cheerful
rays
When Ger this pathway we were won't to
We listened to the bleating Of the lambs
While skipping round their mothers In their
glee,
And watched the gopher while he sought his
hole
As bessie chewed her cud beneath the tree.
The rustkng leaves played sweetest, dreamy
tunes;
As did they in the lovely Junes gone by.
The crickets chirped in marshy meadows wide,
While nighttime cleaned with phosphores-
cent fly.
We dreamed the clouds were feathery beds Of
ease,
On which to lay our weary bodies down.
As in the fancy of our childhood days.
We'd ride the swiftest cloud and wear q
crown.
The water in the brook. SO calm and clear,
AS Ger the pebbles lulling whispers spake,
That told the secrets Of Its mountain path
While on its quiet journey to the lake.
Now lay we down on green and NOISY bank
And watched the sportive minnows at their
play,
While nipb.:ng crumbs we scattered for a
feast
4 cure return to corre some other day.
While dreaming thus the spell was sure to
break,
Too soon was marred this rapturoue, youth
full bliss
By ringing bells that tolled the hour Of seven
And with their tones we gave good night 6
kiss.

Aroostook.

CARIBOU.
Some little time ago large lot of
logs broke away from the boom of the
Aroostook Lumber Company at
Presque Isle and came floating down
the Aroostook river to Caribou. H.
ID. Collins, of the firm of S. w. Collins
g. Son. purchased the same and strung
a boom across the river just above
the dam which is now in process of
building. The heavy rains caused the
water to rise rapidly and as the logs
accumulated the pressure was so
great that the boom broke and on Sat
urday afternoon. all the logs run out
and were again adrift on their way to
| the ST. John river. They We're. worth
about five thousand dollars. The loss
does not fall on Mr. Collins for he was
to pay for only the lumber he could
land upon the bank of the river.
