The End of the Week.

1t happens every Saturday, when all the
chores is done
An the day is restin' someeres an an
the stars is havn' fun
A twinklin and a-dancin' in the clear
an distant sky
To the music of the sleigh bells as they
go a-jinslin' by
We have tended to our labors; all the
week we've done our best.
An we feel that we're entitled to a night
of honest rest;
An nav has washed the dishes. an the
hired mans fed the stock
Eut the weeks work amt quite finished
until Sran'paw winds the clock.
There's no one else da'st touch it. cause
il takes master hand.
An you'd very likely break it If you
didn't understands:
An when the weights go riSin' with
whirrin' and a whiZz
| alluS hope that III grow up as smart as
gran'paw is.
An then the house gifts quiet, cause the
folks all go to bed,
An there amt no noise except the
branches scrapin' overhead.
We've finished up another week, an time
has learned the lock
That shuts it out an starts us fresh
when granpaw winds the clock.

MAINE EDITORIAL COMMENT.

The Boston Transcript notes the de-
Cline Of the pine numbering industry in
Maine and concludes that in time wooden
shipbulding will also disappear from the
industries OF the State because of the loss
of the pines. To be sure. Maine no longer
furnishes the long sticks needed for
masts. and good deal of the lumber used
in her Shipbuildng yards is brought from
southern ports but it is brought because
ii serves the purpose better than any sort
of wood that Maine ever produced. The
hard pine of the southern forests is bet
Ter suited to the uses to which it is put
than anything that ever grew in the
north. and would still be used if Maine
We're covered with her original forest
growth. But wooden craft will he built
ut Maine shipyards as long as there is
any demand for them because Maine has
ut hand something which is quite as i'm
portant as the lumber used. and that is
the skilled labor that has always made
her Shipyards famous. Other states MAJ
produce better timber for ships. but no
other can set to work a more intelligent
or more skilled or better disposed lot of
