A Song of the Farm.

President Harris Of the Maine State Col
lege at Orono, in an address before the State
Legislature asked the question: "What are
the farms fit for, if not for raising boys?'
His words We're at first misunderstood, but
afterwards applauded
A word to the restless people-to the fast
and feverish age:
A perfect manhood is better than any wealth
or wage
Some are for gold-some, glitter but tell
me, tell me, when
Will we stand for the farm and the college,
that go for the making of men?
Yea, what is the old farm fit for? The word
IS wisely said
There may be stumps in the pasture, and
the house may be she'd
But what if a Lincoln or Garfield be here in
this boy of ten?
And What should the farm be fit for, if not
the raising OF men?
It's scanty soil for the seeding, but here
win our bread,
And a stout heart may grow stronger where
plough and harrow are sped;
Then break up the bleak, high hill-sides,
and trench the swamp and FEM
For what should the farm be fit for, if not
the raising of men?
The crop by the frost is blighted, niggard
the season seems
Yet the ready hand finds duties and the
heart of youth has dreams.
The bar and the senate, to morrow; to-mor-
row the sword or the pen;
For what should the farm be fit for, if not
the raising of men?
And what if our lot be humbler-if we on
the farm abide?
There is room for noble living, and the
realm OF thought is wide;
A mind enriched is fortune-and you Will
know it-when
You see that the farm is fit for the rearing
of noble men.
We tread the hills that the Koly, that the
Beautiful, has trod
We till the fields of the Infinite, we dress
the gardens of God;
The seer, the sage, and the poet they utter
the word again,
And ask hat the farm is fit for, If not the
rearing of men.
Pastor Felix.

The Passing of the Stage.

The writer can remember when as
small boy he used to see the late Geo. W.
Gotf drive into Garland on his way from
Bangor to Dexter, with a handsome coach
and four horses. As the years passed and
the railroad encroached more and more.
Mr.. Golf left the road and the stage decreas-
ed in splendor and the horses in number
and flesh until at the last the line between
Bangor and Dexter consisted Of dilapi-
dated cart and two horses 50 thin in flesh
that on one occasion when one of them
fell and lay on his side on the snow, we, see
ing him from short distance, thought it
was an old buffalo robe. These things are
brought to mind by the following obituary
notice of the Washington county stage
line:
Twenty years ago the government paid
81, 200 per year to have the mail transport
/ ed from Cherrytied. The mail at that
time was carried in large tally no coach
drawn by from four to six horses. The
horses " ere in those days of superior
quality. They wonld be put on the run
from Cherrytield and kept at full speed
until they reached Coin Winslow's stable
at Columbia Falls. Here the horses were
removed and fresh ones put in their places
and the renal nder of the distance was
covered at the same rat, Of speed.
Every year the govern ment offered the
stage mail route for sale to the low est bid
der The figures were reduced each year
although the increase in mail was constant
The horses were getting poorer. Las
| year the route was bid off at $500.
| By this time the tally no was replaced
by an express wagon With red and green
! wheels. The horses, too, had lost their
| sleek appearance and We're oftener the OBJ
| jects of pity than admiration. Last Satur-
day the mail left Cherrytied for Mathias
for the last time by the old route. The
horses were in their usual condition and
the driver no doubt was feeling happy to
| think that his contract was about to be
ended.
When almost in sight of the Machias
| post office, just as the team had passed the
/ Whitneyville crossing, the off horse drop
ped by the wayside and the driver was
obliged to transport the mail by hand
from that place to the post office. Mon
day morning the mail was transferred to
! the railroad, [Piscatiquis Observer.

Mayor MortIand.

The Republicans of Rockland at a eau
\. Mortland as their candidate for mayor.
The nomination was made by acclamation.
At the Democratic caucus held Feb. 22nd
Oliver Otis, a member of the State COM
mittee from Knox county, presented reso-
lutions endorsing the the can didacy of D.
n Mortland, the Republican nominee for
mayor The resolution was defeated and
Parker T. Fuller was nominated as the
Democratic nominee. The Rockland Star
publishes the following sketch OF the
Republican nominee:
Hon. David n. Mortland was born in
the town of Prospect, in the part now call
ed Searsport. in Waldo county, He was
admitted to the bar in Belfast ana opened
an office in Searsport, where he practiced
law for about two years. He came to
Rockland in 1867 and has practced law in
this city ever since. MI. Mortland was
elected a member of the common council
in 1871, and was chosen president of that
board in the same year In the fall of
1872, he was elected member of the leg
islature with G. g. Motfitt from this city
and served for one term. The following
year Messrs. Mortland and Motfitt were
the Republican candidates for re- election
but both were defeated by combination
of Democrats and party OF Republicans,
who demanded charter for q new water
company In 1877 and rs Mr.. Mortland
served as alderman from Ward Four, and
in 1880 he was the Republican nominee
for State Senator and was elected by a
plurality of votes, there being a Demo-
cratic candidate and also a Greenback
/ candidate in the field. Mr.. Mortland was
defeated in the following year by com
bination of the Greenback and Democratic
parties.
He was appointed by Gov. Robe in
1883 as a member of the board of railroad
commissioners, and in 1889 he was ap-
pointed chairman of the board by Gov.
/ Burleigh and served as such5until 1895.
Mr.. Mortland has always been a stead
fast exponent of Republican doctrines aud
had an earnest care for the we'll being of
the city. He is the senior member of the
| law firm of Mortland & johnson, which
has high standing in the community, and
| is lawyer of fine ability.
! Like all men Mr.. Mortland has his
opponents as well as his partisans, but all
are willing to admit that he will make
an excellent mayor.

The Attraction for Shoe Manufacturers

A shoe manufacturer is reported to have
been looking around Belfast lately with a
view to establishing a factory there.
What he wants is a factory all equipped,
and SO, 600 capital, $4,000 to be sub
scribed by the citizens and he will furn-
ish the other $4,000. He says he wants
to come to Maine because of less danger
of labor troubles. From the small amount
of capital he proposes to put in it might
be supposed that it was to get his factory
and outfit that he wanted to come. A
manufacturer who could get factory with
no more outlay than that could not be
blamed for coming to Maine or anywhere
else where he could get it. Gardinel

The idea of admitting the soldiers of
the Spanish war to the ranks of the G. A.
r.. which was preached in the President S
speech in Boston, does not take well with
the Grand Army men, now that they have
had time to think it over. They see that
it would destroy the distinctive character
of the organization. They prefer that the
organization should become extinct with
the last survivor of the war of the rebel
lion rather than be perpetuated this way.
