There is nothing in years that has

FLORAL, NORTH BucKspoRr.

At the regular meeting of Floral grange
Tuesday evening, heb. II, a most unusual
session was held, for since the last meet
ing members had apparently fallen into
the most extreme poverty. The change
that only one week had wrought was
nothing short Of marvellous. They had
patched and darned with infinite patience
in the laudable effort to make themselves
presentable. The effect they achieved re-
warded them for their hours Of toll. They
were only one step from the sublime. II
it had been q little later in the season
there would have been an instant demand
for them in the corn fields OF Hancock
county.
Remarks for the good of the order were
made by nearly all present. The w. M.
declared recess, when refreshments were
served, consisting of sandwiches, molasses
doughnuts, molssses gingerbread and
other good things, to which full Justice
was done.
When the grange was again called to
order, the following programme was
given: Song, Mrs. Dyer and Miss Allen
with Miss Hopkins, Of Verona grange, &C.
companist; recitation, Miss Hopkins;
Ellsworth American. [volume] (Ellsworth, Me.) 1855-current, 1908-02-19

song, Walter b. Russell; reading. Mrs.
Bennett.
The question was opened by N. J. Rob-
inson, and general discussion followed.
The question for next meeting is "What
share Of the labor and responsibility in
the grange should properly fall to the
sisters!"
Thirty-six members were present, one
visitor from Verona grange, and one from
Mt. Pleasant grange.

klTTERY TO CARIBOU.

The full-rigged ship Emily Reed, built
At Waldoboro iu 1880. was wrecked on the
Oregon coast last Friday. Ten seamen
were drowned.
Charles Day, Of Augusta, and James
Blenn, OF Gardiner, were caught between
freight cars in the Maine Central yard At
Lewiston Wednesday, and SO terribly
injured that death ensued.
Thomas 8. Laughlin, aged sixty three,
OF Portland, the largest manufacturer of
ship hardware in New England, was found
dead in the cooling vat in his forge room
Saturday night. The tank was sunken
about three feet below the floor and pro-
jected about six inches above it.
Lloyds has written OFF, the Bath built
steel ship Arthur Sewall, which means
that the insurance men have decided that
the ship is lost. Her death warrant has
been signed, and she becomes one of the
many mysteries of the sea. II is supposed
that she suffered disaster somewhere in
the turbulent waters in the vicinity of
Cape Horn.

TIE cHANBERsD NAUTILUS.
This is the ship Of pearl. which poets feign
Sails the unshadowed main.
The venturous bark that hings
On the sweet summer wind its purpled wings
In CULTS en- chanted, where the siren sings,
And coral reefs lie bare
Where the cold maids rise and sun their
streamingihair.
It. webs Of lining gause NO more unfurl;
Wrecked 10 the ship OF pearli
And every chambered cell
Where its dim dreaming life was wont to
dwell,
As the frail tenant shaped his growing shell,
Before thee lies revealed
Its irised ceiling rent, its sunless crypt un-
sealed.
Year after year he held the silent toll
That spread his lustrous coil;
Still, - the spiral grew,
He left the past years dwelling for the new,
Stole with soft step its shining archway
through,
Built up its idle door,
Stretched in his last found home, and knew
the old no more.
Thanks for the heavenly message brought by
thee,
Child of the wandering sea,
Cast from her lap, forlornl
From thy dead lips clearer note is born
Than ever Triton blew from wreathed horn!
While on mine ear 1t rings.
Through the deep caves OF thought hear a
voice that sings:
Build thee more stately mansions, Oh my
soul
As the swift seasons roll,
Leave thy iow-vaulteG past;
Let each new temple, nobler than the last,
shut thee from heaven with dome more
vast,
Till thou At length art free
Leaving thine outgrowni:shell by life's un-
resting sea.
