Away with such a spirit. Many COM

heard that at least those who are chos-
ell to represent the people will have
passed Il law, that all who enter the
State House and pass through the hall
of the flags shall at least have the man
hood sufficient to take the cigar out OF
their mouths, and reverence enough to
remove the hat, for the cmbems which
they pass arc Sanctified in blood OF the
best or our State. But call to remem-
brance that by their terrible afIliction
the G. y. L. made liberty in the true
sense of the word possible, for they not
only fought to sustain State flights but
made also the sovereignty OF the nation.
Had the South triumphed the sacred
ness of human life would have been
lacking in our nation. Tyranny would
have ruled absolutely. The truth has
triumphcd and the South has paid
dearly for her lesson. Forgive them for
they have atuncd wei! for their folly,
AMI have won their redo mption on
our recent war. Young man. young wo-
man, boy and girl, live in your history
that you may honor the memory of
these heroes. Learn the story Of
Gettysburg, Full Run, Antictam. Make
Your country's welfare your own. Let
your love for the flag be as eternal as
your life. Treasure il as you would a

For every tripc of hue,
And every star in the iield of blue,
Ten th6ISand of tie brave and true

Men Of Hallowell, the ranks of these
dear ola heroes are thinning every year.
To you is left the heritage of unsullied

Feathered loducrs,

Hundreds of people have during the
past few nights watched the peculiar
and highly entertaining maneuVcrs Of
the chimney swallows that have taken
possession OF one of the chimneys of
the HallOWell House ell. There are
my lads Of the birds. estimates vary
ing as to the number, from one to five
thousand AS the entire number is
probably not seen only occasionally,
the chimney harboring at all times as
many if not more of the company as
can be seen, it is probable that two
thousand would be a conservative cS-
innate. In their cVolutions a general
circle is described above the chimney
top and the birds go round an in
Vulnerable number of times, now and
then the number being diminished by
tWOs and thrces as they drop to rest
into the chimney. There appears to be
rlCrc or less system to tie movements
of the biri3-nO CroWdinE or fighting
and there may be Il leader. or govern

described in one way fer q long time.
As dull twilight approaches tho num-

have all been rounded up ana rest is
