What's in a Name?

With the summer boarders which have
became feature of nearly every hamlet in
the State of Maine, Maine writer notes a
corresponding change in many things
The little stream that was once called Mud
creek is now called Mirror brook. The
hill that was called Poverty Ridge is now
Mt. Caribou, and the farm that was once
without name is called Willow Hill farm
or Maple Grove Stock Farm. Over in
eastern Waldo county there is a mountain
formerly called mount Misery that has
recently been named "Mount Waldo by
capitalists who have opened granite
quarry there. 1t received its first name
from the fact that many years ago two
young men persisted on it in binding
storm. Perhaps the most amusing Incl
dent in the attempt to change the name of
any of Names natural scenery relates to
the changing of the name of sheet of
water in this same county. ''GooSe
Pond" it was called for hundred years
but at the west end there has recently
grown up little summer resort, and the
inhabitants thereof changed the name to
''Swan Lake" Now everybody at the
west end for miles speak of it as ''Swan
Lake" but the inhabitants of the east end
say that their end is yet Goose Pond"
Whether it is called Goose Pond or
Swan Lake there is no gainsayiag the
fact that it is one of the prettiest sheets of
water to be found anywhere, to say moth
ing of the attractions it has for sportsmen.

At Sea.

Night, and the wonder Of starlight waking
High in the darkening dome.
Night, and the thunder of waters breaking
White on the PROV in foam
Night, and the music of shrOuds and spars
Harp of the wind, whose strings
Sing, sweetheart, to the listening stars
Wild, inetfable things
Far astern in the distance lining
All the horizons rim
White are the harbor beacons shining,
DINNER. and yet more dim:
And the ship speeds forth on her eastwa- I'd
quest,
And the voice of the passing wind
Speaks. sweetheart, of the vanishing west
That | leave tonight behind.
Dear, deep eyes, of all eyes most tender
Heart. of all hearts most true,
A of the blue nights widening splendor
Hallows its lips with you;
Yours is the name that the waters call,
Yours IS the naue the stars
Down from the infinite heights let fa'l
To echo among the spars.
Love, in the years TO coul hereafter,
Gold, as shall chance, or gray,
Still shall the sound of your ightsome
laughter
Come at the close of day,
Come to recall what leave behind
Love- and the west, and you,
Dear, deep eyes, of all eyes most kind,
Heart, of all hearts most true!

A Ballad of rlaniIa Bay.

Your threats how vain, Corregidor;
Your rampired batteries feared no more:
Your frowning guard at Manila GATE
When our Captain went before!
Lights out. Into the unknown gloom
From the windy ,glimmering, wide sea-room,
Challenging fate in that dark strait
We dared the hidden doom.
But the death in the deep awoke not then;
Mine and torpedo they spoke not then;
From the heights that doomed on our pass
ing line
The thunders broke not then.
Safe through the perious dark we sped,
Quiet each ship as the quiet dead,
I'LL the guns of FL Fralle roared-too late,
And the steel prows forged ahead
Mute each ship as the mute-mouth grave,
ghost !evlathan tleaving the wave;
But deep III its heart the great fires throb,
The Travelling engines rave,
Tie ponderous pistons urge like fate,
The red-throat furnaces roar elate
And the sweating stokers stagger and swoon
In a heat more fierce than hate.
So through the dark we stole our way
Past the grim WarderS and into the bay
Past kalbuyo, and past Salinas,-
And came at the break Of day
Where strong Cavite stood to oppose
A thrOnglng OF maStS, a soaring of towers,
The beautiful city arose
How inc and fair But the shining air
With a thousand SCATTERING thunders there
Flalpei and reeled. For the fighting foe
We had caught him in bis lair.
Surprised, unready, his proud ships lay
Idly al anchor in Bakor Bay
Unready, surprised, but proudly bold,
Which was ever the Spanards way
Then soon on his pride the dread doom fell
Red doom,-for the ruin of shot and she'll
Lit every vomiting, bursting hulk
With a crimson reek of hell.
But to the brave though beaten. hail.
II hail to them that dare and fail.
To the dauntless boat that charged our fleet
And sank in the iron hail
Manila Bay Manila Bay!
How proud the song on our lips to-day
A brave old song of the true and strong
And the will that has its way;
OF the blood that told in the days of Drake
When the fl ght was good for the tightng's
sake!
For the blood that fathered Farragut
Is the blood that fathered Blake;
And the pride of the blood will not be IN
While wars in the world and fight to be
Won,
For the master now as the master of Old
Is the man behind the gun"
The dominant blood that daunts the foe,
That laughs al odds, and leaps to the blow
1t Is Dewey's glory to-day, as Nelson's
A hundred years ago!

Address Of Welcome.

| At the recent meeting in Brooks of til
District Lodge of Good Templars the az
dress of welcome was by NJ. j. Dow, ESQ
| and was as follows:
To members of this District Lodge,
And to the officers as we'll,
We now cordial welcome give,
Much more than simple words can tell.
For speech is but the vehicle
BY which our common thoughts are told
1t may express fraternal love
And still our hearts be chill and cold
1t sometimes can be made a mask
By which our real thoughts may be hid;
We may pleasant greeting give
Simply to do as others did.
We do not wish to do that thing
In what we now may have to say,
We wish to make you really feel
That you are welcome here to-day.
That we are really, truly glad,
To meet in our Good Templars Hall,
The members of this District Lodge,
Sisters and brothers, true friends all,
who now have left for one short day,
The common cares of working life,
To gather here for friendly chat,
Forgetful of all toll and strife.
We give to you the best we have,
With food We pile our tables high,
What be your need please only ask,
To grant the wish we sure will try.
For rst of all we wish to know
That you are happy and we'll fed,
So that in comfort you may see
And hear all to be seen and said.
If at this task in any way
We fail or make a glazing blunder,
We feel we shall your pardon have,
Mistakes like this are little wonder.
We feel that trifies such as these
VIII quickly pass from ont your mind,
That you must surely, truly know,
We are in heart most true and kind.
To make rest from dull debate
An entertainment will be given,
Such as we have on our lodge nights,
To have it well we sure have striveu.
For we have found in our own lodge,
As you Will find it everywhere,
If we would draw and hold the crowd,
Something to please we must prepare.
1t may nov be the finest thing,
AS Judged by aid OF choice belle letter,
But ere you criticise it hard,
Please just step ont and do it better.
But these things past, the question is,
What now brings us in here together,
Besides to chat, to eat, and drink,
All birds of the same class and feather.
If you have followed she debate
And business of the morning,
Oh have no doubt, become informed
Without my word Of warning
That stll the drink tiend il power,
In this fair land we love 50 We'll,
Aud that he threatens many homes,
With woes no tongue can ever tell.
So let Us, friends, now all unite
And check his ~uel, mighty power,
To cripple him mercer we can.
This is the q eston Of the hour.
And for this cause may one and all
cave honor to each brother,
And strive IN love TO all abide,
With charity for each other.
Upon the points presented here,
We may not ali think Just the same,
Bun we can pass the matter DER,
And not censure OF harshly blame.
With this desire, Brooks Templar lodge
Has welcomed you to-day,
And that some good may here be done,
We hRmbIy hope and pray.
And when again you next shall meet,
With people high and grand or humble,
Remember Brooks Lodge welcomed you,
But please forget this hasty tumble.

How the belfries rock and reel,
How the great guns, peal on peal,

And this SPOT holy ground.
Lord, forgive us! What are We
That our eyes this glory see,
That orr ears have heard the sound
How they ,alA,
Ancient myth and song and tale.
In this wonder OF our days.
When the cruel rod Of war
Blossoms white with righteous law,
And the wrath of man is praise.
1t is done
In the circuit OF tue sun
Shall the sound thereof go forth.
1t shall bid the sad rejoice,
1t shall give the dumb a voice.
