Teachers Meeting Postponed.

The plan to have the meeting of the
Maine Teachers Association in OCTOBER
has been found impracticable for this
year. With the meeting of the Maine
Association of Colleges and Prepare
tory Schools on October n and %, and
the various county meetings, a suitable
date could not be secured. An effort is
on foot to unite the three OF four organ.
lZatlonS i'll the State SO that a general
meeting may be held instead of the
poorly attended meetings that have
been held at different times and places.
An attempt was made to secure this re-
suit for this fall, but it has seemed
best to hold the separate meetings this
year and arrange for the union meeting
next tall. The meeting of the Maine
Teachers Association will be held as
usual in the Christmas vacation. The
place of meeting will be in Waterville.

| October, saddening month its spell
Weighs heavy upon my soul this night,
| The cricket vainly with cherup Shrill
Tells me of summer lingering yet
Inc winds low moaning of storms foretell,
That soon fiercely raging in their might
Will summer eXpel from vale and hill,
And bid fair nature its joys forget
Night has drawn her curtain DER the earth.
And silence deep reigns throughout the
house
Alto sacred service gone, save me,
And children who are in slumber lost.
Silence to numberleSs thoughts gives birth,
And from the past images arouse, -.
And 'mOngSt others, friend, think of thee,
Or your dread of winter, and its frost.
l think of your beautious plants, so gay,
AHordlng your heart so much delight,
How soon their beauty will all be flown,
Never again, the same to appear.
One clear bright night, and they'll pass away
one bright clear morn'll show painful
sight
The fierce frost king. from his northern
throne
Who gathers his tribute year by year,
Has taken what mortals fain would keep.
Sad to see the march of slow decay,
Bitter to see friend to death Succumb:
But these are but gentle strokes of time,
Slowly gathering his harvest heap,
Constantly working day by day,
Transporting the gathered harvest home,
From every nation-every cline.
Discouraging 'tis--to have the work
OF months of toll, and of watchful care,
All swept aWay-rulned in one night,
AS must happen TO thy garden soon.
The danger to all things living urk,
And death in the sunbeam--in the air,
ct so callouS'd are we to the sight,
That nature discordant, seems in tune
Thus-one by one-earth's ties are severed.
Each and all, the dearest often first
They who are called to eternal life,
Recognize in love, the Christening hand,
Happy are they, who have not deferred
The season to satisfy soul thirsts

With appointed means, lost sight of Beu-

1t is a 'trte saying that this is an age
of invention but 1t Is no less remark
able fact that a large proportion of the
useful machinery and novel appliances OF
the present day have made their appear

living and who have not yet reached three
score and ten, Seventy-tiye years ago
aside from spinning and weaving machin-
cry. the steam engine, the saw mill and
srst mill, there was very little labor
saving machinery. The work of the farm
from planting to harvesting was entirely
manual, and the farmer literally earned
his bread by the sweat of his brow.
The writer, when hoy of ten, In
Lowell, MASS, visited the shop of Elias
Howe where he was getting out his first
experimental sewing machine. The sue
cess of the machine hinged on putting
the eye of the needle at the point. Any
one could have thought of 1t, but Elias
Howe did, and though he was laughed at
at first he won Il fortune and revolutioniz-
ed an industry almost as old as the race,
The movements of "A sewing machine are

After the telegraph had been in use for
