Blasts From the Rams Horn.

The hand of officialdom cannot save the
world.
Gratitude unspoken may turn to self
graduation.
Most men may be known by the way
they use money.
With many free-thought means freedom
from thought
Diversity of gifts in the church depends
on unity in God.
The dawn of Gods day will mean dark
ness to the ungodly.
The door to friendship with Christ lies
in the path of service.
If our transgressions are not blotted
out they will blot us out.
You may know a mans principles by
the things he has an interest in
1t Is vain giving men their rights unless
you give them righteousness.
He that is transformed by the spirit
cannot be conformed to the flesh.
The invitation to lean on the Lord is
for the weary and not for the lazy.
1t is we'll to lay our troubles before the
Lord and better to leave them there.
Chicken feed in the collection does not
promise growth of wings on the givers
Character will be the first thing to be
cramped when life Is crowded with chat
tells
Don't cast your bread on the waters
when you might just as well hand 1t to
some hungry one.
He who sweeps the pews for the glory
of God will be more pleasing to him than
the preacher who seeks his own praise

The Valentines of Long Ago.
The valentines of long ago

The valentines of long ago
We find them, yellOwed now with age,
Yet telling US of belle and beau
Who one time wrote upon the page
Such quaintness as my woe assuage,
And queen of all the blooms that blow,
Or jealously threw down the gage
The valentines of long ago.
Their wilderness once was as the snow
Their perfume fingers yet, though faint
And Whispers of the long ago
In old rose odors, soft and quaint,
As though some long-forgotten saint
Perhaps tbs Cupid-who may know
Would sigh reminiscent plant
In valentines of long ago.
And back orr memories will go
To days of courtly, polished grace,
OF f1ounce and frill and furbelow;
OF powdered hair and queenly face;
OF proper, prim, colonial pace;
OF heads attentive, bending low,
While taper fingers slowly trace
The valentines of long ago.
These well-creased pages never grow,
And still the old-time truth is there,
AS in the days of long ago,
When gallant sang his lady fair
In phrases shyly debonair-
AS vows that come in murmurs low,
Yet have the cavalierlike air
The valentines of long ago.
The valentines of long ago
Their yellowed fragments tell us how
The heart kept beating to and fro
In much the manner it has now.

The Birthday of Lincoln.

This is the birthday anniversary of
Abraham Lincoln, the saviour of the
Union, the emancipation of the slave,
the first martyr President, the greatest
American of the 18th century. Though
here in Maine the day is not recognized
as legal holiday, it is nevertheless OBJ
served. as it is all over the land, by
special observances in the schools and
great Republican party. In nine states
the day is holiday by law-Connectf-
New York, North Dakota, Pennsyl-
vania, Washington ad Wyoming. Curl
ously enough, Kentucky, the state Of
his birth and boyhood, is not on the
list. A reason which has operated in
many states against making February
II legal holiday is it's close proximity
to Washington's birthday.
1t is well that some observance be
made of February IL as each year
passes by. The story of the life OF
Abraham Lincoln should be made
familiar to every child in the land,
that the deathless name may ever be
held sacred in every American heart.
The hardships of youth, the struggle
for an education, the integrity that
never wavered. the tireless determine
ton to succeed. the sublime faith in
the ultimate triumph of the right, the
courage and good cheer in the face OF
adversely, the gentleness and generosity
in the hour of triumph, the simplicity
that made him truly great and strong
the many qualities that made the peo-
pie love and trust him, the glory Of his
martyrdom-what themes these sug-
gest to our teachers, today, as they
draw inspiring lessons from the life of
him whose dust sleeps under the great
monument at Springfield.

Admiral SIMPSONS Retirement.

Only in terms Of gentlest sympathy
Of Admiral Sampson who, reaching the
age limit Of 62 years, has been retired
from active service in the navy, this
week The bitterest partisan of Ad-
miral Schley bushes his abuse in the
presence Of the crushing affiiction
which is said to cloud completely the
mind of the distinguished officer who
has served his country faithfully and
well for 40 years. He does not even
know that he is on the retired list; nor
the outcome of the hearings and in
vestigations by the court of claims, the
court OF inquiry, and the navy depart
ment. The end is not far away and
there can he no doubt that it has been
FASTENED by the unfortunate and I'M
necessary controversy which has so
stirred the country.
Admiral Sampson has made mistakes
and at critical times when in the

lacking in tact, but it is a significant
thing that from the first his brother
naval officers, almost to a man, have
given him their cordial sympathy and
unwavering support. He began life as
the son of poor New York laborer; he
led his class at Annapolis; and from the
hour of his cool heroism upon the sink
ing ironclad Patapsco, through the
years to his services as president of
the court that Investigated the blowing
up Of the Maine, and as COMMUNICATIVE
chief of the victorious fleet at Santiago,
he has been worthy of each and every
trust imposed upon him by the govern
ment. Neither his patriotism, his
honor nor his ability has ever been
questioned or put on trial. His place
as one of our great naval figures is Sc
cure in American history, and no parti-
san virulence can dim his well-won
laurels. What a pity his closing days
could not be passed in peace and
enjoyment. rather than under the awful
af'iiction of shattered mental powers.

The Beginning of Lent.

With today, Ash Wednesday. begins
the 40 days of Lent, the period of re-
nuuciation, self-sacrifice and absti-
renee. Time honored by the observance
of many centuries. Lent is a firmly es-
tablished institution in the church and
in society. While the traditions of one
faith may give more emphasis to Lent
than those of another, and c.othe il
with more symbolism and solemn cere-
mony, still we all, whatever our creed
or sect, recognize the worth of the
principles upon which it is based, dis
cipline, self-control, renunciation and
intensified religious zeal. Whatever its
origin or the changes it has undergone
through the centuries. Lent serves its
purpose well, and it is a significant
fact that the UNCONVENTIONAL bound
aries are befng more and more broken
over in one observance or another OF
the period. In the life of the great
cities the arrival Of Lent is a welcome
