The attempt to transfer the rural
free delivery service from government
control to the contract system should
not succeed. and we do not believe that
il will. 1t would be serious blow to

delivered in cities by contract rather
than by carrier directly employed by

In looking over the Audubon socie-
ties in L. S. for the protection and
study of birds. we find twenty four
states and the Dist of Columbia repre-
scented. Maine is the only New Eng
land State not having an Audubon So
ciety. Why is it that she abreast with
other states in all good and educational
works, should be on the back ground
in this? Surely there are bird lovers
and students in the Pine Tree State to
form thriving society. and such a
thing would be grand hing for the
schools and young people at large
oxford correspondent of Portland Ar
gus.
No. Maine hasn't, as far as we know,
an Audubon society for the protection
and study of birds, but it has a State
Ornithological society which is large
and active and whose work is worthy
of much praise. Its existence answers
well the needs set forth by the Argus
correspondent, and puts Maine in the
first rank in this matter.

Off Fire Island.

The wind is cold and cutting that howls
on the frozen sand;
The seas that rave where the vessels
stave are break ON every hand
God grant that the men who huddle along
their trembling decks
May keep alive till the boats arrive by
the side of the crumbling wrecks.
Twas dark where the frozen bushes were
skirting the frothng deep
When the coaSt-guard heard Ger the sea-
waves curd the rockets skyWard
leap.
And the men asleep in the station were
tumbling out of bed
Ere the gong had told of the wrecks two
fold and the sands where rolled the
dead
They lie too far to seward for the frail
and threadlike line
But the boats are out and the men are
stout that battle with the brine.
What's that you say? Have reached
them? The life lines carrid aboa'd?
While the foams a-roll on the sand bar
shoal and the shore the combers
goard?
The breeches buoy has started-It's fro
zen white with ice
Ere it's Spanned half way of the tempest
gray and the breakers white as rice
No, The last mans over the gunwale, his
feet CRATE on the sand
While ready hands take off the bands
that bore him to the land.
The wrecks roll under the Surges with a
groan they're breaking in,
While the sea roarS on in the night for
lorn and we tremble at it's din.
