a GUILTY coxsorEscE.

In the first whereas Of E. @. Sny.
der's letter to the State Board OF Ed.
ucation, published this morning in
the Free Press, he Gays his markings
OF applicants papers.at the recent cI-
animation have been harshly and un-
justly criticised by the editor Of this
paper. Tho statement is wholly false
That we have criticised the action Of
the bard We admit. We also admit
that we have charged the facts to be
that the applicants were unfairly
treated by the board and that they
did not receive full credit Mt the
hands OF the board for what work
they had done. Whether E. @. Sny.
der and a. l.. Snider, or AIRY other
two members Of the board are re-
eponsible for it, we do not know.
Each member of the board must
judge OF that jact for himself. II one
member OF the board takes it upon
his own shoulders, We are content to
let it remain there. 1t is too dirty a
load for US to attempt to remove.
Superintendent Wilson in his card
published Inst week in the ISDEPES-
DENT charges Mr.. Er G. Snyder with
marking tho papers OF the applicants
too low and in his card this norniug
in the Free Press charges that Z, G.
Snyder marked the papers OF the ap-
plicant, who was granted a temper.
ary certificate by The State board, in
grammar aud arithmetic. These Pa.
pers were raised ~ the Stnte board.
Evidently they were marked too low
or the State board would not have
raised them. II Mr.. Wilson is correct,
the burden rests where Mr.. Snyder
seenis to place it, that is on his own
shoulders. There Is an old proverb
that says something about a guilty
conscience needingIno that ia
peculiarly applicable to u member
OF the county board. Who that menu
Der is We will let the people judge.
The responsibility for the whole
miserable business. however, rests on
the County Superinten lent. He ap-
pointed the other two members OF the
board and is responsible to the public
for their official conduct. II they
were dealing unfairly by the appli-
cants, he should have removed them
at once. Failing to do this. he as
sumed oil responsibility.

MAINE.BORN PEOPLE INTERESTED.
Sons and Daughters All Over the Country
Planning 10 Come Home.

The following from the Portland
Press cannot fail to be of interest to
people all over the State who are in
tere sted in the Old Home week move
ment:
odd Home week is attracting more
attention inside Of Maine that it is
at home Sons and daughters of Maine
the country over. are organizing and
making arrangements to come here
from August 9th to 18th, and are Sc
curing special cars and arranging eX
cursions. Every Maine man who
travels through the State east of the
Mississippi returns home much inn
pressed with tho enthusiasm which
this project has aroused outside Of
Maine. Somehow the movement has
not fully aroused the people of this
State. In some localities a little is be
ing done but up to this time it has
amounted to little more than talk.
Here in Portland great deal is being
accomplished in quiet way and the
plans for the celebration are rapidly
assuming tangible shape. To show tn,
interest that this old Home week idea
has aroused outside of Maine it will b,
day goes by that the secretary of the
local association does not rece i've a
long list If names from towns ali over
Massachusetts, and other New England
states to whom ii is requested that in
Vitations be sent. A club has been
formed in Parsonsfield Mass,
recently. all Of whom are sure
" coming to Maine. 50 they
say. In Buffalo. \. Y. where ther2
are great many Maine people,
4 club was organized on May 31St and
arrangements made to secure a special
car or cars in which to journey to the

of the state but who write to Portland
for invitations.

visitors for one day only and the

tcrs If the Old Pina Tree State should
awaken to the Importance # this
movement and organize local asso-
Citations at once. There is not a ham

have been given to the secretary OF
but one local association. it is evident
that these eZiles are turning their
thoughts homeward and will journey
in this direction if such thing is
possible. Those towns which have as

The Refrothal Ring.

The early history Of the wedding
ring is not easy to trace, as it was apt
to be confused with the betrothal ring.
This was once the more important of
the two, for in the days of our forefa-
theirs the betrothal was the great cere-
mony and marriage only the ratitica-
ton of the contract. Then a spouse
was a betrothed person. and to espouse
was to be betrothed. The ceremony
Of espousal or betrothal was %celebrat-
ed with all possible solemnity as the
contract of a future eternal bond OF
love" No doubt the reason for thus
solemnizing IN engagement was that
in times of violence and lawleSsnesS
the church thought it needful to pro-
tect the and therefore made
the betrothal so sacred that a violation
of the contract was punished with ex-
communication. \ betrothal service
was used, which still forms part Of the
French and Italian ritual. and. indeed,
the first part Of the Anglican mar
rage rite down to the woman's Il
will is simply the old betrothal serv-

Dead-but the dreaming, dear heart, Of you!
For the day you knelt near the death yelled place
! felt your tears fall over my face.
And the rose that you Lett where my dreams must
Thrilled the thought Of you down to me!
And l said, from my couch in the white walled
dust,
"She is true to her love, she is true to her trust,
"And her tenderest tears will fall for me
Till We meet in Gods eternity"
Under the rose and under the dew,
Dead-but / dream no more Of you!
The stormy winds Ger my dwelling rave;
Dead are the roses that blessed my grave.
For you never kneel by my couch to say
The loving words that you said that Gay.
Crumbles my name on the marbles crust,
Ny dreams are dead, and my heart is dust!
