letter to the officials of the Maine
Central Railroad, telling them he was
very thankful for all they had done for
the military department of the Stat,
and saying that he thought they de-
served the thanks of the soldiers of the
State for the consideration with which
they had treated all the soldiers.

Monday, General Richards said that

way under obligation to do SO, from the

and only half price had to be paid.
Then there has been many soldiers
transported of whom no account has
been made by the Maine Central For
instance at the time the first hosnital
arrived at Portland the TRANSPORTATION
was rather mixed. There was prac-
tically no arrangement made for the
transportation. The affairs were in
such state, that General Richards,
when he saw how matters stood, asked
the railroad to transport the men
home the best they could. The con-
ductors We're given orders to do so, and
whether the men had a ticket or moi.
they were carried as far on the road as
they wished. A few of these men have
been settled for. Sut the greater num-
Der no account was made of them.
The conductors of the trains first and

contend with, in regard to the soldiers
who have beat their ways, but no cases
are reported where a soldier has been
put from a train.

When one is old. one may forget
The ills that scar the heart and fret
The soul: old age may reconcile
Griefs that eXalt. Joys that defile
And loves that leave the eyelids wet.
Along life's backward track are set
Gray crossway signals marked Regret
At which dim eyes may gaze and smllt
When one is old!

Consume the years. The ninaret

And thus success and dust are met
