THE NEWS OF BELFAST.

THE EARLY FALL.
Twas A very backward summer,
Eut a very forward fall;
These bleak winds of sad autumn
Are relished not at all;
e. they catch us all a-napping,
send us shivering about,
realize the ready cash
l1 get our warm togs out.

In nemoriam.

The sad news of the death of my cousin,
Mrs Mae Rich of Thorndike, daughter Of
Mr.. and Mrs B. A. Gowen, has just reached
me this morning. I pause amidst the hurry
and hustle of busy life to offer words of the
deepest sympathy to those closely allied to
the departed. My heart is indeed sad this
morning for 1 pity the father and mother,
husband and his aged mother, who are heart
broken over the loss of one so Young and
beautiful, and it seems that I can write 10
more, for my thoughts are full of their
trouble. But let us be consoled and cheered
by the memory of her who was amiable
affectionate and pure. Let us be soothed by
the consciousness that her worth was
known, that her absence is lamented, and
that she is now free from sickness and pain
Mrs Rich had a fine personal presence, with
large expressive eyes and a smile of more
than ordinary sweetness. We recolect well
the last time we had the pleasure of meet
ing her in her pleasant home surrounded by
kind, loving husband, family and friends.
ii was on an afternoon of bright summers
day, somewhat over year ago, and | never
can forget when I came to bid her good bye
and bow over her hand that she spoke words
of tenderness to me which the heart loves.
Beautiful cousin, fare thee we'll. We
mourn your loss, although we know you
have departed to that far-off land of sun
shine, of happiness and peace. Your heart
was panied at the separation from those you
dearly loved, but not touched by one selfish
fear Well could you say to those who stood
by your bedside with sorrowful hearts dur
ing your last mo.nents of life here. Farewell,
farewell,
For me depart to a brighter shore,
l so where the loved who have left you
dwell,
And the flowers are not Deaths
Fare ye we'll, farewell
Affectionately,
F. W. GowEN,
Philadelphia Pa. Sent % 'o7

LECTURE ON HOME LIFE. State Superin-
Home Life in the Methodist church Tues
day evening before an interested audien ce.
He spoke first of the pride he always feels
in being a native of the State Of Maine Not
on account of her natural resources, scenery,
ETC., but ON account of the men she has sent
out into the world In every walk of life,
in all parts of the world Maine men are to
be found, and always at the front. Maine
has sent out more men who have become
members of Congress than there are now
members of the National House. The rea-
son for this pre-eminence of her sons is due
to the early training received in the
home, the church, the school and the
town meeting. All these had their in
huence in moulding the characters OF the
sons and daughters of Maine. But cam
not live in the past. Are we fitting our sons
and daughters to fill our places as the age
demands? We must look carefully to the
training of the heart as we'll as the head
The social life should be guarded, and our
sons and daughters trained in such way
that they will feel at home in society. He
then referred to the educating influence of
pictures and the lessons to be drawn from a
study of the old masters We should also
look carefully to the reading OF the young
and see that it is guided in the right chan
nels He closed with general appeal to all
interested in the rising generation to look
well to. the best welfare of the young
morally, socially, intellectually and physi-
cally.

Fairfax, in Marin County, the picnic re-

corps is attached. last Friday evening,
and took possession. of The tents which
the advance guard had prepared for them
The camp is pleasantly situated in the
level portion of the grounds, is well shell

instruction, except for one thing, and that
is a lack OF water. That has to be hauled
more than mile and the manner OF do
ing it is very primitive. a barrel filled
with the much desired liquid is placed on
rude sled. to which horse is hitched,
and it is hauled along the country road to
the points of the grounds where it is
most needed. Still the cadets do not
grumble.
The hours Of service and rollcall are
very similar to those of the camp of the
First at Ukiah, and the young men, many
OF whom but recently joined the corps.

military work they have been engaged in.

Under the directions of Captain Fitzgib-

best, from sanitary point OF view, that
has ever been held in this State, and as to
cleanliness it is a model, every cadet doing
his share of police duty without muir

illness in the camp. but the hospital is
equipped with all that is requisite Tor any
emergency.
Each cadet has been furnished with a
printed copy of orders for sentinels on
post and the sentry's duty in camp, with
the result that each cadet, when on duty,
if interrogated can without hesitation an

Last Sunday the camp was visited by
Colonel James +. Smith, his wife and
daughter; Captain Kelleher, adiutant OF
the First; plain Elliot of Company ID of
the Fifth Regiment. On Tuesday party
of the young lady pupils of the Lowell
High School paid the camp visit and
spent a pleasant day there. The camp
was also visited by Major Mccarthy, and
1t is expected that Captain Darlington,
u. S. A, inspector OF the National Guard
of California, will pay the camp visit
to-day.
Last night the cadets were the guests of
Company d of San Rafael, Captain Elliot
commanding, at the public hall in the

cadets will return to their respective
