An Old Farm in Prospect.

Hillside farm, Prospect, owned by L. G.
Cummings, is one of the Oldest farms in
Waldo county. 1t was taken up by Alex.
Cummings in 1870. AT that time the coun-
try here was a wilderness inhabited by
wild beasts and Indians. Luxuries were
not plenty at that time. There was a
grist-mill at Castine, where Mr.. G. had his
corn ground. When people were not hur
ried with work, they ground their corn
at home in mortars. Prof. Cummings has
one of the mortars that was used for this
purpose. Mr.. Cummings used to carry his
corn on his back to Sandy Point, making
his way back by spotted trees, and thence
by boat to Castine. There were then but
two other families in this vicinity, some
two miles apart; no neighborhood quarrels
then, we may be sure Mr.. Cummings
married Miss Betsey Cousens, who lived
at Fort Pownal, now known as Fort Point.
They had four children. The farm went to
the sons, Alexander and William, and
then to the present owner. 1t has always
been kept up and is in fine condition to-
day. 1t is located on the side of the hill,
near the Marsh stream. The views from
the house are very beautiful, and very
fine scenery is found in the vicinity. From
that point, one can see into ten towns
and two counties. [Cor. Rockland Opinion.

Standing up for the Soldiers.

The Daily News of West Chester, Pa,
gives the following report of speech re-
Gently delivered there by Mr.. Frank W.
Gowen, who is we'll known to the temper
ance people of Maine:
A large audience assembled in the M E.
Church yesterday evening to hear the lee
ture on 1.-THE Greatest Foe to Civilization"
by Mr.. Frank W. Gowen of Maine, but
who is now Unidentified with insurance in
terests in this State with his headquarters
in Philadelphia and West Grove. Mr.. Gowen
compared the drink problem with some of
the leading questions that enter into the in
telligent discussions of the day. He said he
heard good many crying out about the
pensions to soldiers, but in his opinion the
Government could not do too much for the
soldiers. The gratitude of rescued people
is tangibly expressed in the fixed policy of
granting pensions to these brave men, who
left their homes and all they held dear on
earth and went down South and fought to
save the Union.I find said the speaker, ON the
3Oth day of June, 1897. the number of pen
siOners on the rolls at Washington was
something like $50 624, and the disburse-
ments for that year for pensions amounted
to $160 100000. From 1861 to 1896, inclusive,
our Government has paid to Union soldiers,
their widows and children, the sum of
something like 50 GOO Now this is
about equal to the direct cost of the rum
traffic in this country for only twelve
months. Oh, we indeed a patriotic
people! We prove it by paying 81 for pen
sons and nearly $40 for the business of
drunkard- making. Put down this awful
traffic which is debauching and destroying
our Nation, said the speaker, and every
financial and economic question now agita-
ting the public mind would be far on the
road to settlement, if not so completely
adjusted as to require no further public
discussion.

Two Years Before the Mast. By Richard
Dana, Jr. With Biographical Sketch
and Portrait. S. D 10
As frontispiece to this book there is a
portrait of the author when he took his
famous voyage just after leaving college.
But great as Dana was as a lawyer, orator,
and statesman, he lives chiefly in the
memory of men dis the narrator of a voy
age round Cape Horn to San Francisco
before the discovery of gold. The days
of such exploits seem gone by, but this
book remains as a literary record and will
always be thus remembered.
Vicar of Wakefield, The. By Oliver
Goldsmith With Introduction, Notes,
Portrait, and Illustrations. S. G 81
So celebrated is this book as piece of
English that German boys, when set to
studying the English language, are early
given this tale. 1t is Goldsmiths one
story, and has outlived vast number of
novels written in his day.

Biography. BY Horace E. Scudder.
With four illustrations. S. W II
Within a brief compass Mr.. Scudder has
attempted to give the narrative of Wash

seem to tlink him, a marble statute. He
calls his book an historical biography be-
cause he has tried to show the figure in its
relation to the great events of American
history in which it was set

For the Entire Family,

Although the leading objectof Farm and
Home, which our readers may procure in
connection with this paper, is, of course, to
acquaint the cultvator of the soil with the
best methods of farming, it realizes that the
success of the farm largely depends upon
the management of the household. Accord
ingly, much valuable space in each issue is
devoted to the wife, mother and daughters
not forgetting the boys and girls, who are
soon to become-at least we hope they are
farmers and farmers wives. Repete each
issue with great variety of original arti
ces on the farm, garden and household. by
the leading rural writers of the day, Farm
and Home is not only Indispensable to the
farmer, but meets the requirements of the
entire family. We cordially recommend il
as pure in tone and well devised to instruct
and ente rtan the farmer and his family.

The State assessors will issue an addition
al blank with the usual ones this year, to
the assessors of the various cities, towns
and plantations, which will refer to the
poultry industry. The blanks are to be is
sued for the purpose of statistical informa-
ton, as provided for by act of the last
Legislature, and not for the purpose of tax
ing the poultry. The questions asked will
be the total number of hens, turkeys, ducks
and geese; the estimated value of the poul
try produced; the estimated value of eggs
produced of each class; and the total value
of eggs and poultry Those who have given
the matter any thought say that there is
great surprise in store for the people of
Maine, who do not realize the large amount

The Two Paths.

Waterville in publishing the following story
in verse calls special attention to the author,
Mrs. S. j. Stevens of Troy. The Herald
says: "Mrs. Stevens is one of Maine rarest
poets. For many years she has ontributed
to several Maine papers, poems that have
been copied and re-copied into papers
throughout New England calling forth no
little comment as to their beauty of con-
struction. Why should not we feel that
Mrs. Stevens is deeply interested in our

THE TWO PATHS.

That two happy school boys were passing
my way,
Their eyes shone with genius, their cheeks
glowed with health,
The bearing of each showed refinement and
wealth.
They earnestly talked. and heard with re-

"Do you see any harm in just one cigarette
Ger snch trt1ing things TO make so much
I think folks are crazy-say Willie, don't
you?"
"Why, Charlie'" he answered, in tones of
surprise,

wise;
0, come with me, Charlie, our league join
tonight,

from my sight
The vision remained; for the fairies that
night
Brought magical pictures of many-hued

What gladness and sorrow We're mine in my

And knew not it ever would downward

So hard did you wrestle your footing to keep.

While chose the wine with its venomous
