The Maine G. A. r. in Augusta.

For the first time in a dozen years the
State encampment of the Grand Army
of the Republic, department of Maine,
is held in Augusta. That the veterans
have a sincere and cordial welcome to
the capital. goes without saying. Our
city, officially, and our citizens, in
Individually, greet with pleasure the rep
|resentatives of this great order which
is composed of the brave man who
saved the Union and whose noble
motto, ever faithfully lived up to, is
Fraternity, Loyalty and Charity"
We are proud to have them here for
these two days, and hope that in every
respect their visit will be pleasant and
profitable.
The department of Maine is fortunate
in it's leaders and in it's rank and file.
Our State sent it's best to the defence
Of the flag in that great conflict.
Thousands died the death of heroes in
battle and hospital, on the march and
in the prison pen. The years that have
passed since Appomattox have sadly
thinned the ranks of the survivors
But those with US, today, are still in
spirit the boys in blue of old. The
winters that have frosted their hair
have left no chill in the heart. AS the
grim gaps in the ranks are made they
close UP and press on. shoulder to
shoulder, doing their full duty as the
highest type of citizens. When the
blossoms of spring are fairest they
pause for a day to place a tribute of
love on the graves of their fallen COM
rades. Among them, as the years pass,
the fraternal bonds, the loyal zeal and
the charitable spirit are stronger and
stronger, and the heart of grateful
and united people gives them measure
overlooking of love and honor.
When the Maine Grand Army boys
last met here, in 1890, they were hon.
ored by a visit from the national COM
lmander- in chief, General Russell A. AL
ger of Michigan, whom they and the
city We're alike glad to greet. On this
occasion they are to be similarly ia
vored in the presence of the national
head of the order, General Eli o. Tor
renee of Minnesota, who comes here
from Boston, where he has been in at
tendance at the annual encampment of
| the Massachusetts veterans.

That he is an American is no argu-

his captors are justified in regarding 1t
as an additional count against him.

Success is more or less a bluff, and

makes up for all the times she couldn't

you and she'll try to make you think
she doesn't if she does.-New York

In Winter DAYS.

The days have lost their brightness, and
l feel the dreary pain
OF the winds that sigh around me-ot
the lonesome winter rain;
have but remembered roses and the
song of birds that seem
To be singing to me ever Ger the mead
ows of a dream
say: Somewhere the gardens of the
Spring are blooming bright,
And Morning dawns in splendor, and the
Love-stars light the Night"
But the flowers l loved are ashes, and
no altar-tres CLEAN
Where my soul is ever signing for the
meadows of a dream.
The dim days have no pity-no promise
for the years.
The stars are Stormed from heaven, and
the clouds rain down their tears;
For a face that made the morning has
faded with it's beam,
And the promise of the Springtime is the
sadness of a dream.
