EN accelerated progress of civili-

continue to be thrilled by pomp and
pageantry as they were in medieval

A BOYS SPRING.


Say, when the springs a-comin' in.
Oh, amt it awful sweet
There's singin' most on every breeze
An sunshine in the street
And where the lazy clouds are hung
Across the sky, why, all among
Them goes the wind a-laughin' out
To think of all the joy that's round about.
Say, where the dams a-roarin' loud,
Oh, amt it fine to hear!
l know man who went away
But comes back every year
Just in the spring to stand and see
The waters tunble-Hully gee!
Iguess he feel; just like us boys;
There's something makes US kind Of still
in that big noise.
And say, sometime at dusk, when all
The sky is colored red,
An when the airs just full of spring,
An just can't go home to bed
Say, I've just stood and listened while
The river roared; an most mile
I'd see the foam go streakin' down
A-swingin' past beyond the town.
An something in med kind O. stir
An I'd be there all standin' still
An then-an' then-I'd almost choke.
For, somewhere near, whip-poor-will
Would start and call like anything,
An then-an' then some way the spring,
An river. an soft air, an sky
Would be too sweet, like tenderness
I'd be like that man comm back, guess
I'd stand an love most everything;
Say, amt it funny in the spring?

When Wild Geese Go North.

With musical honk and flash of wing
The wedge shaped band passed Ger,
Glad harbingers of returning spring,
From the southland's marshy shore,
And we, of the brave New England line,
Awake from our winters sloth,
For spring has come, we know the sign
When the first wild geese go north.
Ger rocky hill and dry erased mead,
And over the rivers bend,
Following closely their captains lead
On to their journeys end,
And we, from the winters fireside cheer:
Again fare bravely forth
In the bracing April atmosphere,
When the first wild geese GO north.
Alder tassel and willow bud,
And the scent of the pine and spruce,
And in the swamps Of the rich, deep mud.
The flags have waved truce;
But something is lacking in springs warm air
And we feel she has broken troth
Till we hear the sound from the south some-
where
OF the wild geese coming moth.
Without ever fear or false alarm
Today watched their flight
Over the fields Of the homestead farm,
Till lost to my vision quite;
But somewhere tonight on some rivers brink
Where the springs waters foam and froth,
And the crescent moon Is about to sink
The first wild qofse are moth!

PENOBSCOT BAY AND RIVER.

Thou beautiful, shining river,
Thou lovely, sparkling bay,
Thy blue waves, surging ever
All the long, bright summer day.
Thy views are lovely, bright river,
Sailing thy fair surface DER.
No artist can paint them, no never,
The forests and fields on thy shore.
Memory goes back to youths morning,
Homeward bound, DER your waters SO blue
How glad we were when the dawning
Brought Penobscot Bay to our view.
Many of Names sons and daughters,
Who have drifted from home and away,
Now long for a glimpse of your waters,
Thou lovely Penobscot Bay.
In summer, we see them returning,
To rest on thy beautiful shore.
With loved ones again they are roaming,
Meath the pines, on the hilltops once more
Flow on, thou fast gliding river,
Gather all the bright streams on thy way,
To our beautiful tree-shaded city,
Fair Belfast, on our charming bay.

YOUTHFUL PANGS OF HUNGER.
There's youngster in Boston whose
appetite is constant source of amaze

On one occasion this lad was taken to
spend the day with an uncle in the sub

finally it became actually necessary to
forbid him to eat any more. Later,
when the family were taking their ease
on the porch, the irrepressible William
pulled something from his pocket and
began gnawing it.
"What have you there?" demanded
his father.
"Only dog-biscuit," came in apollo

EASTER GREETINGS.

EASTER GREETINGS.
When the Arbutus season comes
In the lovely month of NAV.
It reminds US Of the loved ones
Who have been called away.
We wander to the wood,
The fields are brown and sere.
1t hardly seems one could
Find consolation here:
The bronze brown leaves we turn IN III. -;,,h+
And 10, behold what's there!
The lovliest blossoms pink and white
Whose fragrance fills the air
When we think of the wonderful nower
Which it requires to bring,
This delicate little flower
So early in the spring,
Can we for one moment feel
That in His own good time,
God will not to us all reveal
The beauties of that cline.
Where those cherished ones of ours.
Now free from care and pain.
Like the beautiful May flowers
Will greet US once again?
To me this is a creed,
A sermon with this text:
God knows our every need
In this world and the next.
And on some glorious Easter morning
In Gods future years
We will meet again our dear ones
Somewhere in the spheres.

temperance people have got to depend
on the true citizenship Of the State to
stand for law and order and our inherit
ance.
But some say that liquor is sold now
and we might as we'll have a change, as
the law is not success. Of course it
does not prohibit every bit of selling.
What law is there on our statute books
that is not violated? the prohibitory law
is the best law that ever our people
enacted and it has been the greatest
blessing to our citizens that we have
ever had. But they tell US also that
liquor is sold in alleys and kitchen bar
rooms. We admit and are sorry for it,
but when you consider the enemies of
the law within the State and the foes
without, it is wonder that we do as
we'll as we do. l believe that the law
prohibits rs per cent Of the selling that
would be done if we had license. If we
must have rum in our communities, let
us drive it into the dark alleys and make
it as disgraceful as possible. When you
stop to think of it, does the saloon pro-
mote the morality of any community?
Does it help any industries? Any man
knows that it does not. How shall we
control IL! Is tnere any otner way tnan
to outlaw it?
''This issue that is upon US is ques-
ton of whether our Christian citizenship,
our good people, are to control or wheth-
er we are to be ruled by the slum ele-
ment of the State of Maine. Therefore
it is highly important that the militant
church take hold of this issue. We want
to be looking out and seeing to it that
our State never goes in the direction of
the saloon. Lawlessness is one of the

According to the reports emanat-

law making is a serious and exciting
business at times. Two representa-
tives who held contrary views on the
merits of bill under discussion be-
came so engrossed with one another
as to attract the attention of every
member of the august assembly; and
order was finally restored only when
the speaker threatened to call on the

ents. At present play is being pro.
duced in New York which is highly
recommended by Catholic authorities;
but which is threatened with failure
on account of the hostile criticism of
some few enemies of the church. A
writer in the Catholic News speaks
Of it thus:
There is clean play running at
present on Broadway. 1t has the ap-
probation of the highest ecclesiastical
authorities in the archdiocese, and yet
it may be doomed to failure because
of hisotry and prejudice.
Catholics of New York should see to
it that The Confession should not be
driven Off the stage, for it depicts ac-
cnrately and respectfully the doctrine
and practice of the confessional"
1t is unfortunate that play of
high moral tone should be thus pre-
vented by prejudice from doing good

to counterfeit this opposition and if
possible keep The Confession" and
