sweetheart of mine.
The Iamplight seems to glimmer with a
flicker of surprise,
AS ! turn it low to rest me of the dazzle
in my eyes,
And light my pipe in silence. save sigh
that seems to yoke
Its fate with my tobacco and to vanish
with the smoke.
'Tis a fragrant retrospection-for the low
ing thoughts that start
Into being are like perfumes from the
blossom of the heart.
And to dream the old dreams over is a
luxury divine
When my truant fancy wanders with that
old sweetheart of mine.
Though | hear beneath my study. like a
flutterng of wings.

mother as she sings.

harbor of dream.

That makes me drink the deeper to that
old sweetheart of mine.
A face of lily-beauty, with form of airy
grace,
Floats out of my tobacco as the genli
from the vase:
And / thrill beneath the glanees of pair
AS glowing as the summer and as tender
as the skies.

eheckered dress
She wore when first | kissed her and she
answered the caress
With the written declaration that, las
surely as the vine
Grew round the stump" she loved me
that old sweetheart of mine.
And again ] feel the pressure of her
slender little hand.
AS we used to talk together of the future
we had planned
When l should be a poet, and with aoth-
ing else to do
But write the tender verses that she set
music to-
When we should live together in cozy
little cot
Hid in nest of roses, with falry gar
den-Spot,
Where the vines were ever fruited, and
the weather ever fine.
And the birds were ever singing for that
old sweetheart of mine;
When l should be her lover forever and
a day,
And she my faithful sweetheart till the
golden hair was gray;
And we should be so happy that when
others lips were dumb
They would not smile in Heaven till the
others kiss had come.
But. ah! my dream is broken by a step
upon the stair,
And the door is softly opened, and-my
wife is standing there;
Yet with eagerness and rapture all my
visions | resign
To greet the living presence Of that OLD
sweetheart of mine.

Most of the people we admire have
the imagination to think we do.
Some engagements are broken off
most go right on to the bitter end.
Getting rich is a mighty clever Thug
for fellows father to do for him.

have a good business head she has to
support the family.

The great cities of the country which
have been experimenting with all sorts
of paving material during the last 10
or Is years have returned to the gran
lite paving block and in consequence
the granite sheds along the Maine
coast are opening up again and large
crews are being employed. This means
big boom for some of the coast
towns and nearby islands, some of
which have been in a state of business
depression for a number of years. The
new paving block is somewhat differ
ent from that of Is years ago. 1t is
smaller in every way and cut with
greater care, more closely approaching
a tile. The paving cutters like to cut
this kind of block as they earn large
pay with easy work.

A Lewiston young lady who was on
the way to visit friend in Portland a
few days ago unwittinsly exchanged
dress suit eases with Bath man. The
two suit cases resembled each other SO
much that even their owners could not
tell them apart. The young ladys
surprise can be imagined when on
reaching Portland she opened the suit
case to give her friend a coffee pot,
she found a pair of pajamas, comb and
brush, a bottle, book and an extra
shirt. The reader can also imagine
what the Bath man thought when he
found in what he supposed to be his
own grip the coffee pot packed care
fully among articles of woman's wear
ing apparel.

A new formation of granite has been
found at Hall Quarry, Mt. Desert
which has resulted in the opening of a
new quarry there. The formation
extends over wide territory and
there is enough granite in sight to keep
many paving cutters employed. The
granite lies in sheets, is of light tex
ture, keen and fast under the hammer.
1t is easily quarried, being covered
with just enough earth to have kept
it fresh and fine to work.

he had seen ornamenting the window
