THE LOVE sIeN oF TAE ROSE.


She trained little 1850 10 grow
And grace the gate above,
And hence love the pathway so
That leads me to her love.
And oft my heart before me goes
To read the love sign Of the rose.
Though fairer. bloom for lovers tryst,
To me it seems as fair
As If an angels lips had kissed
And blessed it, blooming there.
For heaven its sweetest smilo bestows
On the dear love sign of the rose.
The pattering of little feet,
When shadows blur the light,
And rosy twining arms that meet
And necklace me at night
These my glad heart enraptured knows
at the dear love sign Of the rose.
Not far away loves steps shall stray
In thorny paths to roam,
While DER the meadows of life's May
Shine signals sweet of home.
When night falls drear, one heart still
knows
Rest at the love sign of tho rose.

The uuanimity of the Committee on
towns for reporting favorably on the
bill TO unite Portland and Deering
is gratifying. 1t foreshadows the
prompt passage of the measure by
the Senate and House and the signing by
the Governor. such a disposition of the
matter will, we have little doubt be
more welcome to many of the opponents of
annexation than would another campaign
under an enabling act, with the practical
certainty that the vote would be in the
affirmative. Indeed several prominent
men Identified with opposition to annexa-
ton, so long as opposition was not entire
ly futile, have so expressed themselves to
us, their argument being that such dis
cussions AS are certain to preoede vote
do a good deal of harm to tine interests
of both cities.

THE ARMY BILL.

As it finally passed the House the army
bill provides for an army OF 100. 600 men,

at 80, 000 men and authorize the President

hEst suggested, but really the result is
about the same Either form loads upon
the President the responsibility of in
creasing the army above 80 900 men. The

and those who were not The bill

A MORMON IN BIDDEFORD.

Biddeford, February 1.-The two NOR
mon elders who recently came to Maine
ON missionary tour. addressed an audi
ence of $50 in Forester's hall TUESDAY
evening. At the request of somebody in
the audience, one of the elders discussed
the case of Congressman elect Roberts,
against whose admission TO membership
in the national House such objection is
being made all over the country.
The speaker explained that MIR. Roberts
had been welded TO his several wives
prior to the passage of the anti-polygamy
law in 1890 1t certainly could not be ex-
pected that he could cast off any or all of
them. Polygamy is dead issue in Utah,
he said The law against II Is strictly
observed, but of course those who had
more than one wife prior to the passage
OF the law are under obligation to main
tain them. The law did not contemplate
that the wives of Mormons should be cast
adrift. There have been no polygamous
marriages in Utan since the passage of
the law of 1890.
The elder further declared that the Nor
mons had nothing more 10 do with the
election of Roberts than does any religious
denomination in the East have with the
choice of congressional representative.
Seventy live per cent of the Gentiles in
the mining camps voted for Roberts. l.
will make no difference whatever to the
Mormon church whether he is unseated
or not.
The object OF their visit, the olders said,
was to expound the Mormon faith, and
not to defend OF advocate polygamy.
