Behind him lay the gray Azores,
Behind the Gates of Hercules
Before him not the ghost OF shores
| Before him only Shereless seas.
The good mate said. Now must we
| pray.
For 10. the very stars are gone.
| Brave Admiral speak, what shall / say Z.
| "Why, say. Sail on. sail on and on
My men grow mutinous day by day.,
/ My men wow CHASTITY wan and weak.
The stout 0afs thought eff home; spray
| OF salt I washed his swarthy cheek
| What shall | say, brave Admiral, say,
| II We sight nanght but seas at dawn?
| why. YOU shall say al break of day,
sail on, sail on, sail on. and on"
They. sailed and sailed as winds might
Until al last the blanehed mate said;
/ why now not even God would know
/ should | and all my men fall dead,
These very winds forget their way.
For God from these dread seas is gone.
| Now speak, brave Admiral, speak and
He said: sail on, sail on, and on"
They sailed. They sailed. Then spoke
the mate:
This mad sea shows his teeth tonight.
| He curls his lip. he lies in wait
With lifted teeth as if TO bite
| Brave Admiral. say hut one good word
What shall we do when hope is gone?
The words leapt like leaping sword;
sail on, sail on. sail on, and on!
| Then pale and worn. he kept his deck
And peered through darkness. All, that
night
OF all dark nights, And then a speck-
A light, \ light, A light, 4 light,
II grew, starit flag unfurled,
Ii grew to be Times burst of dawn.
He gained a world; he gave that world
Its grandest lesson: on, sail on.''

Charles A. Moore. D. D.. assisted by
his brother, Prof Edward S. Moore of

ton of the First and Third Congrega-
tional churches. the latter's edifice also
being destroyed. The new church will
cost about 100000 and be ready for

Maine, with her innumerabie lakes
and vast stretches of forest, has rea-
son to be vitality interested in the pre-
servation of wild birds. Many resi-
dents of the State are keenly alive to
this work and are members of the Ma
tional Assn of Audubon Societies and
of other archaeological organizations
which are making a determined fight
to win the passage of a proviso in the
new tariff bill now in the Senate and
which has been passed by the lower
House of Congress, which prohibits the
importation of all bird plumage, save
for scientific or educational purposes,
sove the feathers or plumes of ostrich
es and of domestic fowl. Senator
Charles F. johnson of Maine is chair
man of the finance subcommittee now
considering schedule IN" He is being
besought by birdlovers all over the
country to withstand the attacks OF the
Feather trade" These business inter-
ests have fattened on hitherto unre-
stricted importation of bird piumage
The Audubon societies are fighting all
amendments to the original proVlso
land especially one now introduced
(which they claim would nullify the
iprovision, because it would permit the
importation of plumage OF game
birds usually killed for food purposes
and birds which are killed as pests.
Maine has an interest in her pirds not
Ionly because they are beautlful ana
add another item to the list OF Maine S
Isummer and winter attractions, but
because they directly concern the agri-
lcultural interests of the State. The Au-
ldubop societies are able to prove the
directly helpful relation these BIRDS
|bear to the destruction of pests and
jthey argue, logically, that the farmers
lneed to awaken at once to the need or
Iprotection of these birds. The subject
lis getting before the Oranges of the
Estate and is otherwise being discussed.
so that a sentiment on the right side
lis being spread. A timely word with
1.-THE Maine representatives at Washing
lton will count for much just now.
