TO THE BRIDEGROOM.
We come with friendship and fraternal greetings
Our brother, and our friend from the En-

And tOndly hope for more such pleasant meet
AS Friendships stream shall ripple on forever
IL each fervent hope were diamond bright,
And each kind wish were q fragrant flower.
Your home would CLEAN, Ike the heavens

And your lawn would bloom ike lovers

In danger may some angel hand defend you,
Wherever you may stray,
And may Love. Joy and Hope attend you.
AS on your wedding day.

And your hair, Ike mine. Is white as snow,
May your record show you have e'er been true
To the loving heart that Is trusting you.
TO THE BRIDE.
Pure as the softly falling snow,
Or the crystal waters that onward flow,
Warm as the breath Of eventide,
Ia the greeting we bring. oh fair young bride.
With pen FROM the doves fair plumage.
Dipped in the morning dew,
would sit where the dawn Is brightest,
And write poem for you.
would weave u wreath Of lilies,
To garland your forehead fair,
And cluster OF orange blossoms
To twine In your raven hair.
Long be the chain of happy years.
Untouched by sorrow, undimmed by tears.
And loyal the friendships tried and true.
That shall gladden. the years that come to you.
ON the union Of hearts that shall ne'er be twain,
ON this pleasant home mid the hills of Maine,
May the blessing Of Heaven rest for aye,
AS IL rests in the cleaning of this June day.

GREENWOOD.

GREENWOOD.
That shower Sunday afternoon struck
Austin Morgan shortly after he started
on his cream route, and on arriving here
his team was we'll drenched, as he also
would have been, but for his umbrella,
and he was somewhat damp as it was.
Austin said that possibly it had rained
harder since Noah's food, but he very
much doubted it.
Monday was SO windy and cold that
men were seen riding out with Overcoats
and mittens on; nor is it very warm up
to the middle of the week. Hence it is
evident that all crops, grass excepted,
must be making haste very slowly.
They are working on the roads again
this week, and it is sincerely hoped they
will keep at it until mules can be driven
over them single file with some degree
of safety.
There are three portraits of Francis
Bret Harte, who died in London on the
5th of May, in possession of the writer,
and they resemble each other about as
much as those of Napoleon Bonaparte
and Frederick Douglass. He immortal
lied his name by writing the Heather
Chinee more than anything else he ever
produced, in verse or prose. Mr.. Harte
was born in Albany, N. Y, in 1899, and
was not, therefore, very far advanced in
years. BY his death another leaf drops
from the tree of the Poets of America.
Bryant's Pond gave good description
of Lake View Cottage, together with the
entertainment, last week, and we will
now particularize its location for the
benefit of those who might wish to
know. The cottage is built on an island
at the lower extremity of South Pond,
the said island forming the boundary
line between that and Round Pond, and
is reached by a bridge several rods in
length, which connects it with the main
land.
The buildings are in view from the
road leading from the Centre to Lockes
Mills, and only short distance from it,
but the way to get there is from the
other road, turning off at the residence
of James Estes, then crossing the rail.
road and field beyond. There is one
novel feature connected with the cot
tage, and that is the old-fashioned brick
| fireplace, with its two hand-irons, or
tire-dogs, as they used to be called; and
lively little fire was burning on them.
We lived and warmed our humble self
| by such an institution as that, during
the first seventeen years of our life;
hence it is no wonder that the sight of ii
transported us back in imagination to
the days of our boyhood, and sighed to
be there again. The proprietors have
expended 5000 in these buildings, and
the land on which they stand; and they
are entitled to thanks of all for such a
pleasant summer resort. The two ponds
above mentioned lie wholly within the
limits of this town, and together with
North Pond, situated in Woodstock,
form the source of Alder River.
