The sun just touched the morning
The morning, happy thing,
Supposed that he had come TO dwell,
And life would be all spring.
She felt herself supremer--
A praised. ethereal thing.
Henceforth for her what holiday.
Meanwhile her wheeling king
Traiied slow along the orchards
His naughty, spangled hens,
Leaving q new necessity
The want o. diadcms.
The morning fiuttered, staggered,
Felt feebly for her CROWN
Her unanointed forehead
Hencsfcrth her only one.

YOUNG PRESIDENT AND OLD PASTOR
Latter Writes Former a Letter With Apt
illustrations.

A certain rather famous New England.
college president is very much in favor
of the new theology, as opposed to the
old systems, and recently an old Port
land pastor sent him kindly letter re-
ferr1ng to recent article from his pen.
The Portland pastor found no fault with
the article itself, but he did suggest that
it might be possible for the new and the
old to live together in peace.
He told to illustrate his point story of
a little dog be once owned Sometimes
they fed the dog in the back yard. And
the animal would never consent to eat
until ne had rushed around and driven
every chicken and stray cat from the
yard. The application was that the ad-
vooates of the new theology ought to be
content with their meal of fit things
without first driving the advocates of the
old systems quite out of tho theological
back yard. He also mildly suggested to
the young president that when he is sew
enty he will be willing to admit that old
and new mu st remain togather
The reply Of the young president to the
witty letter of the old pastor was a
prompt and satisfactory admission that
even In advance OF his attaining to the
age OF seventy .he was finding out the
truth of what the Portland pastor said,
and admitting freely and willingly that
the two systems will continue to exist side
by side, and that nothing will be gained
by an attempt on the part of the advo-
Gates Of either the old or the new to drive
the other from the field.

Death of an Able Educator.

Prof. Albion Dwight Gray of the
William Penn Charter School. in Phila-
delphia, who died few days ago was
born in Foxcroft in this state, January
10, 1861. and was educated at Bates Col
lego, where he passed three years and at
Bowdoin College, where he spent his
senior ye ar. graduating with honors in
the GLASS OF 81. At Bowdoin he made
name for genius, wit and analytic power.
He was an especial favorite of President
Cham berlain, who for many years, had
exerted powerful influence in slevating
and directing the youth Of New England.
Even during his undergraduate course
reports came from Bowdoin College of
his fine scholarly enthusiasm, brilliant
ability, striking originality and high
promise.
Immediately after graduation Mr..
Gray began his life work, teaching, and
was engaged successfully as instructor in
the High School of Bath, Maine; of
Woonsocket, Rhode Island, and of
Springfield. Mass. From the position of
Science Master in the Springfield High
School he was called in 1886 to be Math-
ematica1 master IN the William Penn
Charter School of Philadelphia "Dur-
ing the past ten years." says one of his
colleagues in the Penn Charter, s'his
heart has been every moment in his
his solicitude for the welfare of his
pupils, his deep anxiety in all that con-
oerned the school and his constant readi-
ness to make any sacrifice of time or
abor in its behalf Was daily manifested
in all his woras and deeds Prof. Gray
was remarkable teacher. His person.
ality was powerful; his manner alert,
corteons and wonderfully sympathe tic;
his statements were accurate and DELI
mite; his demonstrations in the classroom
compact and foroible; his illustration of
principal unsurpassed in fitness; his
wit and humor were ever waiting hand
maids to his reasoning, but were always
subordlnated to the purpose in view. he
seemed to have an infinite sympathy with
boys. He was of them lie was one of
them; he was with them always-on the
athletic field or in the recitation room.
He believed that the duty OF secondary
education is not to make men of boys,
but to conserve the boy into the man.
And so he always instructed. always In
terested, always entertained his pupils
and never fatigued or wearled them.
His wit was as inexhaustible as III was
exquisite; his humor Overlooking and
sparkling, but he hushanded these re-
sources of speech with admirable skill.
Ellis telnner was admirable, calm, well
balanced, serene. He was never con-
fused, rarely impatient, seldom nervous
and never weak He was mere1ful in the
extreme; suffering touched him to the
tress: as gentle as a gentlewoman to the
young, the weak. the feeble. TIC all men
he was misunderstanding to human
frailty in every shape and form and
phase. He saw good in everything To
his family and friends he was all tender
ness and indulgence; his great heart al
ways beat with sympathy, with the high
est chivalry toward women"
In 1884 Professor Gray was married to
Miss Harriet Lane, of Fast Sangerville,
