To Christen the Maine.
A Granddaughter of Governor Anderson
Suy.reSted,

A Granddaughter of Governor Anderson
suggested.
Regarding the christening of the new
battleship Maine, about which the news
papers of the country seem to be good deal
exercised and are giving much advice to Gov.
Hill of this State, who is to invite the young
lady to perform the agreeable duty, it seems
to us not ''far-cry'' from Augusta to Port
land within the limits of our own State In
that city resides Miss Mary Preble Ander-
son, the daughter of Capt. William H. An
derson, a young lady of many accomplish
ments and pleasing personality, who is a
great granddaughter Of Commodore Preble
who gained so great distinction for himself
and for our infant navy in the early DAYS Of
the nations life, and who is also the grand
daughter upon her fathers side of the Hon.
Hugh j. Anderson, who was a member of
Congress from this State in 1887, and was
governor of the State in the year 1874.
There would seem to be peculiar fitness
in the selection of q young lady with such
an ancestry, when such a one is found
living within the borders of our own State,
to christen the new battleship.
The late Judge Walton. once said when
learned counsel had cited before him in the
argument of case. sWhy do you go to all
the other States of the union. for your law,
more readily and effectively by citing the
reports of the decisions in our own State ?''
Why go beyond Maine when we have
grace and beauty united to the long line of
an honored and distinguished ancestry,
within our borders, qualified for the grae
cious service of christening the new Maine
as she glides into the sea to join her sister
ships in our splendid navy?-Bangor Com
mercial.

In Blossom Time.

BY MARC ARET f. SANGSTER.
Who would have thought, awhile ago, when
bitter winds were raging,
And all the wintry world was chill, that
deep beneath the snow
The heart of summer life and heat a victor's
strife was Waging,
Till in the trees that gave no sign the sap
began to flow?
Before a single tiny leaf had shown the
buds increasing,
Before glimpse of the spring had bright
ened tWig or spray,
The bloom and beauty all were pledged a
loving Hand unceasing
Was working in the winter time to bring
the summers day.
And now the fields are like the sea, with
foamy rippleS tossing,
And Ger the blushing crests of May the
blue-bird chances free;
The sunshine and the diamond shower, like
shuttles swift are crossing.
And the gladness of our childish days
comes back to you and me.
For God has brought the blossoms, and the
fruit in time will follow
The seed within the furrow dropped, and
then the golden grain;
The patient work and waiting still, and
then DER hill and hollow
The happy songs of harvest and the over
flowing vain.
All, never when the winter about our way
is beating,
In sorrows breath, or burden of the toll
that we must share,
Should our trustful souls grow timorous, or
falter to retreating,
For the blossoms Of the springtime are in
our Fathers care.

The Origin Of Some Famous Hymns.

The circumstances that inspired
some of our great devotional hymns
must deepen the interest in both the
song and the singer and reveal that
mighty kinship OF human souls, that
divine sympathy, that cOnfers deathless
fame on few simple verses, soul
biographies living in song.
Crock of Ages, Cleft for Me-" This
greatest of hymns was written in 1775
by Rev. Augustus Toplady, a very
learned English divine, who died at the
early age of thirty-eight. The hymn
has the rare, wondrous spiritual ecstasy
he revealed in his daily life. In his last
illness he said: Il cannot tell the COM
forts that l feel in my soul; they are
past expression. 1t will not be long be-
fore God takes me; for no mortal man
can live after the glories which God
has manifested to my SOUL" The
marble tablet over his grave says: He
wrote Crock of Ages, Cleft for Me-"
Mrs. Vanalstyne, better known as
Fanny Crosby, the blind poet, wrote the
hymn, "Safe In the Arms of Jesus"
for music in twenty minutes, but into it
was put the essence of her whole life of
faith. Miss Crosby, after days jost-
ling through the city streets, guided by
some loving hand, returns to her little
room and pOurs fourth her soul in song
OF the many hymns written by Mrs.
Sarah Flower Adams, the only one that
has survived is the hymn, Nearer My
God to Thee" based on the Bible story
of Jacobs vision at Bethel, the imag-
cry of which narrative it follows most
faithfully.

I MoaFy OF hair and beard,
With banners marred by rent and stain,

In wavering line, with faded coats of blue,

Beholding that array,

Bound for the faltering fight at WINCHESTER;

Stemming at Gettysburg the charging South.
At twilight, in some lighted shop or store,
0r by some lonely farmhouse door,
Some SCARED and wrinkled veteran,
To little knots of neighbors drawing near,
would tell with kindling eyes of ShilOh's
fight,
Or OF the Wilderness and Seven Pines,
Or how he saw the President at Washington,
Or how one night,
Marching weary march beside the Rapi-

As sunset fell, Grant rode along the lines,-
His staff around him, hat drawn low upon
A brow OF care,-and seeing that grave,
silent man,
From all the ranks broke forth mighty
cheer.
Soon down some frightening vista, borne
before,
A shouting city's gaze,
Will pass the last of them who wore
The good, blue uniform in the brave days of
yore,-
The phantom army will be seen no more.

"Only last Monday" said Mr.. Nc

over to the border from Oklahoma
City, and the sight that greeted us
was one of terrible destitution. Twen-
ty thousand men, women and children
are massed OH the border, and half
of them are utterly destitute. Only
small percentage have even tents to

went with possibly 5000 or 5000, and
nave made nothing since they arrived
Simply waiting-waiting. The really
pitiable thing about it all is that
there are hundreds of desperadoes on
the border who have picked out
claims, and will not scruple to kill
the successful ones in the drawing,
in case they have a lottery. A relia-
ole merchant told me a few weeks
ago about a band of 100 such des.
paradoes who have secured the reser-
