The Waning Summer Time.

Already fades along the path of time
The lavish bloom that marked the summer s
prime,
The trees are dark with ripened LEAKAGE
green,
The sunflower's disk glows bright with yell
low sheen,
The constellation of the asters shine
And brown and crisp grows lowly fern and
The meadow sides are gay with unshorn
fringe
Of golden-rod and willow herbs bright
tinge.
By fences gray droop down the clusters high
OF elderberries, and the young grouse dye
Their bills in purple juice, and side by side
The fiocking robins drink the royal tide.
The pewee's pensive song along the echoes
swell.
But woodland thrush has ceased his flute
and bell,
And mournful as the patter of the leaves
The bluebird's shortened carol sweetly
grieves.
The bobolink with his pied coat has lost
The merry tilt that made him once host,
And with the buttercups and buds of June
He left his tinkling and his merry tune,
The plover chuckles DER his dainty meals
OF locusts, but at nightfall hour he feels
The sense of loss in aerial Hight
AS south he goes beyond the belt of light.
No more the meadow lark with swelling
( throat
Charms every ear, but with a strange harsl
note
He struts among the tussocks of the field
Whose bristling stubble no more fragrance
yield.
| The flicker tries no more his song to sing
AS swift he flashes on his golden wing,
| From fence to ant hill his insistent cry
Sounds in strange discord to the passer by.
The goldfnch gay tits on the thistle seed
And in strange silence lights on autumn
| weed,
swells,
Each paintive lay is saddened with fare
wells.
Along the banks the brown minks stealth
creep,
Where cardinals glow and sumacs graceful
sweep.
The bright inverted flames blaze Ger tn
tide
And by the brink the fattened racco ons hid
The summer wanes, the flowers die. Fac
day
Brings mournful signs of farewells and de
cay.
The wasteful richness fades before our eyes
Breathes out its lavish life and gently dies,
But dying summer heralds autumns BIRTH
Rich with the fruitage of the generous eartt
And every waning token in the air
| Breathes warrant of the harvest rich an
rare.

The Father of Seaman.

When the windows of Heaven We're opened
And the founts of the deep We're let go,
When fathoms We're reckoned by millions
And the tops of the mountains sank low,
The Father of Seamen Went grouping
His way over land and DER sea,
With ballast of rock and cargo of stock,
In an ark Of the gopher-wood tree.
And he was d seaman-a genuine sea
man
a sailor and ship-builder too;
For his three-decker ship he had built
for the trip,
So, Noah, here's looking to you
The voyage was long, and the weather
Was hard Oh man of his age
six centuries old and tritie
When he locked the last beast in its cage :
But he stuck to the job like a good 'un,
With Japhet aud Shem as his mates,
hlle Ham they all took as the niger to
cook
And to wash the ships company s plates
All hands We're good seamen-the first
OF all Seamen-
A rafting good deep-water crew,
And he kept them at work with no
chance of d shirk,
So, Noah, here's looking to vou
Though he'd no wire rigging, or patents,
Or compass, or seXtant, or chart,
II e made his landfal with no pilot
By pluck and by tirmness of heart.
Then he reckoned he'd finished his contract
When he landed the stock without harm,
so he gave the sea best, and he took out his
rest
On snug little vineyard and farm,
Well, he was seaman-a deep-water
seaman
And to him our gratitude's DUE
For we wouldn't be here if he'd shown
any fear;
So, Noah, here's looking to you'll

All the Worlds AwheeI.

All the worlds awheel,
And all the men and women merely
They have their tumbes and punctured
tires,
And each, in learning, bruises many parts.
HIS stages being seven.
At first the neophyte,
Keeling and sprawling in his tutors arms;
And then the luckess wobbier unattended,
With flushed, excited face creeping like 4
snail
Across each passer's path
And then the scorcher,
Signing like furnace, with dire intent
70 make century run.
And then the veteran,
Full of strange yarns and lying like baron,
Jealous in honor of his make Of bike,
Seeking to sell another like it
Unto each man he meets.
And then the agent,
W orking unawares, plucking commission
From each sale he influences,
Full of wise saws and modern instances;
And so he plays his part.
The sixth age shifts
Into the fat and Sinking retail dealer,
With spectacle on nose and hand in pocket
Clinking gold coins, the profits of his trade,
And winking slyly; and his bank account
Constantly swelling toward a goodly pile,
Begets new am bitlon.
Last scene of all,
That ends this strange eventful parody,
Is when he grows to be a manufacturer,
And owns the earth and all abiding on it.

that bore down on the ill-starred ship.
This done he stopped talking for time,

TrawIers on the Grand Banks.

Gustav Kobbe writes an article entitled
son the Grand Banks and Elsewhere
for the August st. Nicholas. Mr.. kobbe
says:
The trawlers are generally found on the
Grand Banks, the hand liners on the
Western Bank and Quiro These hand
liners are smaller vessels with fewer dories,
and the men fish with hand lines, one man
and two lines to a dory. The hand-liner
sits in the middle of his dory, with
compartment in its stern and another in
its bow for his catch. When you see the
bow sticking far up in the air, you know
the fisherman has his stern load. Then,
as fish after fish flashes into the other
compartment, the bow settles, and when
the dory is on an even keel the hand liner
pulls back to the vessel.
The trawlers bait with fresh herring,
mackerel, ami squid; the hand liners with
salt CLAIMS. The catch of both is split and
sailed, and the vessel has full ''fare,"
or catch, when she has ''wet her SALT
that is, used up all her sat-and is full
of fish \ trawlers voyage lasts about
| eight weeks: a hand liner 5, eleven.
A trawiers crew receives no wages,
but fishes on shares. First, the captain
gets percentages; of the remainder one
half goes to the vessel, which "finds, -"
that is supplies the gear, stores, salt, and
| half the bait; and the other half to the
captain and crew in equal shares, which
lun from S1l0 to $50, and even to $3.50
But among the handline each man is
paid according to what he catches, the
fare" from each dory being weighed as
it is taken aboard. This stimulates com
petition. There is judgment in knowing
where TO fish, or how long to stay over
certain spot; and even the quickness with
which line is hauled in will make per
ceptibe difference at the end of a day $
fishing 1t means something to be ''high
line, as they call the best fisherman, at
the end of voyage, and those who win
this distinction time and again, as some
do, become known as ''killers' and ''big
fishermen.
The main catch on the Banks is cod
and halibut. There is also fleet of
small American vessels which pursues
the merry swordtsh. Swordtishing is
good sport-whaing on a small scale A
man, dart in hand, stands in the vessel 5
bow, supported by semi circular iron
brace When near enough to the fish, he
lets fly the dart. A swordfish may weigh
three hundred and fifty pounds. One
can tow dory mile, and piece of the
sword has been found driven through the
bottom of pilot boat

FISH AND GAME. The inland fish and
game commissioners have been having
very busy season. They have had to
hold many hearings. There seems to be
mania among the people to have streams
and ponds stocked with fish. The COM
missoners are always pleased to grant
these petitions when possible, but in
some cases the waters which people wish
stocked are not suitable for the propaga-
ton Of any kind of fish. Chairman Garlic
ton is keeping in close communication
with guides and wardens. go. The schoop-
er Emma arrived at Portland Aug. 4th
from Georges with three barrels of mack
erel She found the fish very scarce.
There has been considerable controversy
over the shipment of the largest salmon
ever taken from Rangeley lake by Hon.
F. F. Timberlake 10 party in New Jer-
sey. The fish was taken by S. r. Morse
of Atlantic City, n. j., who has cottage
on Rangeley lake. Mr.. Morse wanted to
send the fish to one of his friends Mr..
Timberlake was presented with the fish
and sent it to the express agent at this
place for shipment. The agent, Nh.
Mills, sent word back that if Mr. Timber
lake had permission from the governor or
fish commissioner, he would ship it.
Thereupon the bank examiner came up to
see what the trouble was. Mr.. Miller
told him that he ought to know what the
law was in regard to shipping fish out of
the State, and Mr.. Timberlake went to
Phillips from where the fish was shipped.
1t is said that the commissioner could not
grant him the right to send it, but said,
''if the fish was ours, we should send it,
James Mathieson, the unlicensed
Rangeley guide, who was arrested charged
with pursuing his vocation in violation of
the new registration law, was given a
hearing in the local court at Pennington
Aug. 9th after he had been discharged by
the court on technicality in the first
warrant, and re-arrested on a second one.
The court found probable cause and held
Mathieson to await the action of the grand
jury at the September term. Bonds were
fixed at 500 and were promptly furnish
ed. At this point Chairman Carleton, of
the Game Commission, announced that if
Mathieson would stand up like man in
the court room and promise to faithfully
comply with the law he would recommend
the prompt granting of license Mr..
Mathieson thereupon took the obligation.
......T The Fish Commissioners planted
5000 salmon in Lake Maranocook, Aug.
8th, 5000 in Cocknewagan lake at Mon
mouth Centre, and 10000 in Lake Cob
bosseecontee. The salmon are four inches
long.
