An Editors Vacation.

The editor takes great pleasure in
greeting again his old friends, the readers
of the Echo. He returned on Monday
night last, after an absence of nearly
twelve weeks He first visited an aged
uncle in Belfast, Me-, in his native coun-
ty, in the city where he served his APP
premiership, and where he had the pleas
ure of seeing the old hand press on which
he used to print all sorts of jobs from
visiting card to full sheet poster. While
there he drove out half a dozen miles to
the old homestead where he was born,
and found the old house hardly changed
III appearance. Inquiry, however, elicit
ed the information that, as Charles Lamb
pathetically says, "All, all were gone,
the old, familiar faces"
From Belfast, on the shore of the sur
passngly lovely Penobscot Bay, he went
to the hardly less beautiful valley of the
kennebec. Portions of this valley re-
mind one of some of the beautiful prairies
of Ohio and Illinois. On the farm which
he visited is one moving field of about
hundred acres of about as good grass
land as is to be found on this continent,
and there is only small spot upon which
the grass cannot be cut and raked by
horse power drive of about twenty
to be remembered. From this region he
went to Oxford county, the early home of
his better half. Here he spent several
delightful days riding over the pictur-
esque hills and valleys and boating and
fishing on the quiet lakes, in the COM
pany OF old and valued friends. Portland,
Longfellow's ''beautiful city by the sea, "
was his next stopping place, and here he
mad the pleasure OF seeing again goodly
number of his old army comrades, as he
attended the anniversary of the muster III
OF his old regiment, the gallant Seven
teenth Maine. He had not been present
at reSlmental reunion previously for
more than twenty five years. And he
mad not met with some OF the comrades
whom be met on that occasion for several
years more than that. 1t seemed little
odd that ali the other ''boys'' had grown
gray and old looking, and a good many of
them carried stout canes which they
seemed to find useful.
His visits in New Bedford, Taunton
and Edgartown, Mass, and in Canaan and
Rockville, Conn, among Old friends and
relatives, were very enjoyable. At Edgar
town he was presented Will: asword which
onglnally adorned the suOut of fish, and
with couple of bones, one of which is
from ten to twelve feet long. AT Canaan he
saw cross walks, horse blocks, building
foundations and even stone fences made of
white marble. There are marble quauies
near the town. While at Rockville he
visited the envelope factory OF the White 4
torbin Envelope Co, and saw the wonder
tul machines that tnrn out envelopes fast

And the water came i'll like mill race

We wished we staid on shore in Maine,
For We reelly thought we was bound for

Bound for doom in topsail tub,
For we never thought we'd see the Huh,
Bound for doom with load of plank
And none know where the old tub sank.
Ker-chink, ker-chank!
But still we danced that ola pump crank
Now the more we pumped, the worse 5 he

And we gave our souls to the hand of God !;
For spite that the scuppers belcAed and roar
She was plumb, bang full by the soundin'
Plumb, jam full to the soaked old deck
Full to her doll burned tarred old neck
Couldn't guess how SHE kept afioat
With the sea a gozZlin in her throat.

But we woggled on like bale of hay

TIE POWER OF TIIE PRESS.

THE Power of the Press" is com
mon expression, but few really realize
its actual power. Deep thinkers do not
hesitate to assert that half the crime of
our country may be trt ed to this
source. But great as is the influence OF
the press, it cannot begin to equal the
power of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
over disease. Most diseases originate in
a weak stomach. The Bitters strength
ems the stomach, purifes the blood and
cures constipation 1t tones up the ner-
vous system, stirs up sluggish livers and
stimulates inactive kidneys. As an ape
tier it is unequalled. 1t will be found
in every family medicine chest, and is
sold by every druggist. 1t cures sick
people, and an occasional dose regulates
the bowels and prevents we'll people
from becoming sick. If you want to get
well, and keep well, use Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters.
