Where is the thrill Of last nights fear!
Where is the stain Of last weeks tear
Where is the tooth that achcd last year,
Gone where the lost pins 40 to.
For last nights riddle is all made plain.
The sunshine laughs at the long past rain.
And the tooth that ached has lost its
pain
That's where our troubles go to.
Where are the clothes that we used TO
wear?
Where are the burdens we used 10 bear
Where is the bald heads curling hair2
Gone where the pins disappear to;
For the style has changed and the clothes
are new.
The skies are wearing brighter blue
The hair doesn't snarl as it used TO do.
And the parting has grown mors
clear, too.
Where are the bills that our peace dis
trcssed2
Where is the pin that the baby bless
ed?'
Where are the doves in last years nest
Where have the pins all gone to?
on the old bills paid are new ones thrown.
And the baby's 1T school with her pin
out-grown.
And the squads are running a nest o.
their own
You can't bring 'em back if you
want to.
We can stand the smart Of yesterday
To-day's worse ills we can drive away
What was and is brings no dismay
For past and present sorrow:
But the burdens that make us groan and
sweat.
The troubles that make Us fume and fret,
Arc the things that haven't happened
vet
The pins that well find tomorrow.

DR.. Twitchell, who returned last
evening from Massachusetts, and New
Hampshire states that never in his
experience has he known such intense
interest manifested by people of other
states in the result of an election, as
he has met the past week, in the out
come of the vote of Maine next Mon
day Among the many who asked for
an estimate was Hon. Warren F.
Daniels of Franklin. n. H., who said,
Il am a Democrat. Away have been
one, and expect to die true to Demo-
cratic principles, but | do want to see
a Republican majority in Maine next
Monday, so large that it's effect will
be felt all over the country. Some
thing more than party interests are
at stake and our country is in danger
as never before" The doctor says he
finds that the eyes of thinking men are
turned towards Maine as never before,
waiting the verdict in favor of honest
money and sound business principles.

THE STATE ASSESSORS
Are Making Examinations Of Manufacturing
Plants Through the State.

Thursday, the State board of asses
sors were at Mechanic Falls making
an examination of the paper mills at
that place. Today they visit Liver
more Falls and Jay 1t is the purpose
of the board soon to begin to make ex-
aminations of all manufacturing
plants in the State with the veiew to a
new assessment. The assessors go to
the mills and personally inspect and
examine them, visiting the mill own
efs and in every way possible making
an effort to get at the actual valua-
uon Two years ago saw mill men had
some complaint to make about the
closeness of the market and were dis
posed to find some fault with the
;mount of taxes they We're called upon
to pay. but this year the lumber bust
hess is better than two years ago and
the mill men are not grumbling to
any great extent. Speaking of lum-
Der, a man in a position to know some
thing about the business said to the
journal, yesterday:
You may not believe it, but the
PULP mill men can afford to pay from
81 to $1.50 more per thousand for their
spruce than the saw mill men This
IS because there is a sure market for
pulp and the saw mill man must take
Ills chances With the markets"
