The Worlds Tryst.
We fain would walk abroad with Spring,
Impatient to begin it;
Like ether fair ones sweet she calls:
I'm ready in minute.
we fret. and fuss, and watch the clock,
The minutes larger looming;
Snring donS a robe of tender green,
A dash of faint perfuming.
And when at last she comes to us
So fair do we behold her,
Co radiant and beautiful,
We have no heart to scold her
The Masons of high degree assemble
in Portland, today.
How eagerly the tree buds and the
GRASS roots soak in the sunshine.
Who did not envy the youngsters,
last night, On their maybasket expe-
ditions?

ward, cart off the ashes. burn the
rubbish and wash the windows.
Bowdoin and the University of Maine
meet bat twice upon the diamond. this
spring, and both games are played, this
week; at Orono, Wednesday, and at
Brunswick, Saturday.
The Bidieford Record intimates that
the arrival of $4,000 Holsters at Port
land, last week, has something to do
with the increasing population claims
of that city.
The typhoid epidemic has taxed the
resources of the Bangor hospital to the
utmost, and it is expected that the col
lcctions next Sunday, which by annual
custom is Hospital Sunday in the Ban
gor churches, will be record breakers.
The bank burglary makes many
Kennebunk people believe more strong
ly than ever that the citizens made a
big mistake at THEN last town meeting
when they voted TO have no Waterman
or police officer on duty nights.
A resident of Watervile who has
Just passed his sixtieth birthday is re-
ported to have said to n friend, in COM
menting on the matter of his age. that
he had never contracted bill of any
size and that he had never been any
body's creditor. This is an experience
that certainly very few men can boast
of, even for much shorter term of
years.
There is a story over East that a
movement is on foot to annex Brewer
to Bangor during the coming session of
the Legislature. A free bridge has
taught Brewer people what a delight
full city Bangor is to live in, and has set
them to longing for similar blessings.
And Brewer is a fine city, too but can
hardly hope to annex Bangor.
Bangor News: 1t may be confessed
now that Arbor day in the State OF
Maine is a failure The idea is a splen-
cid one. The mass of our citizens ap-
prove of setting out trees and adjoining
public parks and streets and private
grounds; but as yet no enthusiasm has
been shown to warrant any good re-
suits. In many cities and towns the
school children meet and set out trees
and held cheerful exercises in conf
memoration of the day, but after the
event has passed, the trees die for
wan, of care the boys cut them down
for walking sticks, the teams drive over
the spots set apart for arboricultural
show, and at the end of the year there
ie nothing left to indicate that there
has been an Arbor day. except the files
of the faithful newspapers. There are
exceptions to the above conditions, but
they are SO rare that they do no more
than to emphasize the utter futility Of
creating a sentiment by proclamation
and then forgetting the central idea as
soon as the type has been distributed.
Bath Independent: 1t is surprising
to see how many people, who are trans
ferring real estate. are ignorant Of
the value of a deed, not as a proof of
the ownership of property in the sense
of a receipt, but in the description of
the real estate the ownership of which
the deed is a proof. At the time a
piece of real estate is sold the purchas-
CT usually knows about what he is buy
ing while the man making the sale UNI
dcrstands what he intends to sell, but
unless the property is carefully de-
scrbed when. generations from now,
the same property is again sold it will
be hard work to know just what prop
erty is meant. Hours of search and
many dollars are expended in trying to
trace the ownership OF certain pieces of
real estate every week in our own
county and what is true in Sagadahoc
is equally true in others. If the deeds
had been more explicit as the property
