According to the building bulletin
Just issued by the census bureau
OF the United States, Maine has re-
coded from eighth place among the
ship building states in 1880 to fourteenth
place in 1905, while in the value of vessels
built she has fallen from third to ninth
place. But there may be a small grain of
satisfaction in the additional information
CLEANED from the same bulletin, that in
the building OF small power boats Maine
is exceeded by only four other states, and
in row boats, canoes and small sailboats
by only one other state-Michigan.

The question up was not that Of
prohibition but that of prevention
of increase in the number of sa-
looms here. The election of coun.
eilmen who will vote to raise the
license to $4,000 was thought to be
the best way TO discourage recent
petitioners for license. II. E.
Truck called a rising vote from the
very large audience on the ques-
ton of how many were in favor Of
raising Sthe Alicense aud oppos-
ing more saloons; all but about
fifteen stood. The audience
seemed to be reused to the present
need of practical effort and accom-
plishment.

Grounds" was written by Mrs.
Chas. Hardin near the close of the
Civil War.
I'm dreaming tonight, I'm dreaming to-
night.
Dreaming Of the loved and the Host;
Dreaming OF the days so joyous and
bright
Ger sorrow my life barque tossed.
Dreaming tonight, dreaming tonight,
Dreaming OF the long. long ago.
Dreaming tonight, dreaming tonight,
Dreaming OF the long, long ago.
Dreaming Of hands fondly clasped IN
mlno own,
Dreaming OF the kind words said,
But waking, alas. TO sorrow alone,
Weeping DER my earth hopes fed.
Dreaming OF eyes that tender and tru,
Cheered me In lIfe's rosy morn,
Their glances In dreams alone can view
Iwake but to find them all gone.
| will dream no moro, l will dream N,
more,
Dream not OF the buried past,
The future has Joys for me In store,
In heav'n will find them at last.
Thinking TO- night, thinning tonight,
Thinking Of my homo In heaven,
Thinking tonight, thinking tonight
Thinking of my homo In heaven.
No dreaming In heaven. l will dream emo
there,
But wake ueto life real and true;
No dark clouds OF grief or gloomy despair
WIN rise 10 obscure the bright view
