consequently highly valued by histori-

Dear NJ. B. Friends:

Dear NJ. B. Friends:
In the great big volume of "Houss
Cleaning" which looms before us = let III
hope, as yet unopened-let me slip the
following poem sen. by Aunt Ernma. II
is to be considered poetic preface to the
real story of the next two or thre<
months.
THE REAL HoUsE-cLEASISe.
Say, brother, do You ever clean house,
Not, Of course, with mop or with broom;
Do you ever look into Yourself,
As a woman looks into a room,
And notice the flaws in your work.
And the various stains or your souls
Then begin cleaning house, as you should,
And make fresh start to your goal.
II not, you should try it this spring.
Turn out the old vices, and sweep
The cobwebs that cling to your mind
Straight into the rubbish heap.
Wipe out the thumb-marks OF hate
That loom through the dust of the years;
And polish each virtue anew,
If to-day it rust-covered appears.
Clean house with yourself. and wash out
All the imprints of envy and scorn;
And let your eyes sparkle once more
Like the dew-ieweled grasses at morn,
Rub out all the stains and the CRIME
OF the struggle for riches or fame;
Rub out the conceit and the pride,
And remove the dead ashes of shame
Clean house with YOURSELF Garry out
All the useless ideas that you find;
Why lumber your soul with dead things,
Or with old-fogy notions your minds
Start afresh in this battle OF life,
With a body internally clean;
Fer what are all outwardly charms,
If your soul isn't fit to be seen.

MEMORIAL RESOLUTIONS,
Again has the Angel OF Death entered our
fraternal circle, and link is severed from the
chain that unisss us, and we are called TO
mourn the loss Of our beloved sister, Esther
Merle Allen. She lay peacefully sleeping,
wrapt in the eternal slumber OF death, but
still it seemed as though her presence must
be there and she would wake anon, and greet
once again. ROBBED in her graduation
dress, in which her happy schooldays were
completed, she was promoted from this
earthly class and entered on the honor roll
above. Surrounded by beautiful flowers and
by the sad assembly Of her friends she lay
when last seen to earthly sight.
In the death OF Sister Allen, Sedgwick
grange has lost o faithful member who will
be sadly missed, and while we mourn the loss
Of our sister, may we extend our sympathy to
the bereaved mother, father, sister, brother
and other relatives. As further expression
Of respect for our departed sister, may our
charter be drsped for period Of thirty days,
a copy Of these resolutions spread upon our
records, one sent to the bereaved family, and
one to the ELLSWORTH AMERICAN for publica-
ton.
Sister, thou vast mild and lovely,
Gentle rs the summer breeze,
Pleasant as the air Of evening,
When 1t floats among the trees.
Peaceful be thy silent slumber,
Peaceful in the grave SO low.
Thou no more will Join our number;
Thou no more our songs shalt know.
Dearest sister, thou has left us;
Here thy loss we deeply feel;
But It's God who hath bereft us;
He can all our sorrows heal.
Yet again we hope to meet thee,
When the day Of life is fed;
Then in Heaven with Joy to greet thee,
Where no farewell tear is shed.
