The Rain.

How drearily the raindrops beat
Upon the window pane!
And all is dark and dismal
In the chilly autumn rain,
remember when in childhood
The busy raindrops feR
When they battered on THE shingles
What fairy tales we'd tell;
We heard them dancing gayly
Or racing to and fro,
And nestled in the blankets
When fierce north winds would blow,
Sometimes a sudden terror
Would send us down the stair
Our mother never. chided,
But let us linger there,
So basking in the freight,
We watched the embers red,
Until. our fears all banished,
We scampered back to bed.

Portland Advertiser: In yesterdays

was an interesting article telling of the
Mcclellan Wingate house, more IA

colonial architecture shows the pro-
priety of preserving it as the home of
an organization devoted to the further
ance of art. With it's sweeping
staircase, its carved mantels and
cornices, its treaures in furniture
and pictures gathered from many
parts of the world. the mansion is a
fine specimen of the homes which
We're erected by wealthy New Eng
landers at the beginning of the nine

somewhat later period than the
Wadsworth-Longfe house, a

were unknown in the Revolutionary
period. SO the McLellan-W ingate
house tells q story of it's own and one

Portland is to be congratulated on
the number of these old mansions
which have been put to uses that are
a guarantee that the buildings will
not be removed or so altered that they

the means of preserving two of the
houses which have lived a century

Such houses are a distinct asset to a
city. In Lowell, Mass, where the
birthplace of Whistler, the artist
has been opened as a memorial to
him, there is already noticed an in
crease in the number of the towns

the preservation Of historic houses is
widespread and sometimes brings
strange results. 1t is said that if
Washington had actually slept in all
the houses in Connecticut where the
Father of his Country is alleged to
have lain his weary head, he would
have spent a large portion of the
Revolutionary period sleeping in the

graduation that so many of them have
been preserved.
