TINES VICTOR.

Love laughs at time and younger grows with
years;
Though age may come, limbs falter, beauty
fade,
Love still finds bliss unknown to youth and
maid;
Through faces wrinkled joy serene appears
With sunshine won from agones and fears,
The troubles borne by hearts that beat as
one,
Whose bond has strengthened as the years
have run;
The flesh may fail, yet changeless love endears
When terrors king his cruel worst has told,.
When fame is naught and glory's sword is
rust.
When beautys brow is churchyard mold,
When stars grow dim and diadems are dust
Above the lonely grave of ruthless time
The happy bells Of deathless love shall chime.
james E. C. Sawyer of Pittsford, VT, in
Springfield Republican of Sept. 18th.

In Judge Haley's Honor.

After the adjournment of the S. J. Court il
Rockland, Sept. 2sth, majority of the attor
neys hied away for Crescent Beach, where
banquet had been arranged in honor of the ne,
associate justice, Hon. Geo ge F. Haley o
Saco. Hon. D. N. Mortland, president of tn
Knox bar, presided and the post prandial ex
ercises, which included remarks by Judg,
Haley, were particularly interesting. L. +
Starrett wrote, on the spur of the moment, tn
following appropriate verses:
Sancho Panza, long ago,
Wise beyond denial
Said Judges son had no
Cause to fear trial.
Then perhaps, and there in Spain,
Justice was rare thing
But the men we have in Maine
Strive to do the square thing.
If mistakes they sometimes make,
As must be expected,
These we to the law court take
There to be corrected.
He who is our guest tonight
Does not live for profit,
But to do the thing that's right,
On the bench or off it.
Much of justice may he do,
Growing wiser daily,
Till the judge is perfect who
Bears the name of Haley.

station at Unalaska, according
to a report received by tele-
