1t cannot be that lie who made
This wondrous world of our delight
Designed that all its charms should fad
And pass forever from our sight;
That all shall wither and decay,
And know on earth no life but this,
With only one finite survey
OF all its beauty and its bliss.
1t cannot be that all these years
Of toll and care and grief We live
Shall find no recompense but tears,
No sweet return that earth can give;
That all that leads us to aspire,
And struggle onward to achieve.
And every unattalned desire
Were given only to deceive.

II cannot be that. after all

1t cannot be that, after all
The mighty conquests of the mind
Our thoughts shall pass beyond recall
And leave no record here behind;
That all our dreams of love and fame,
And hopes that time has swept away
All that enthralled this mortal frame
Shall not return some other day.
1t cannot be that all the ties
OF kindred souls and loving hearts
Are broken when this body dies,
And the immortal mind departs.
That no serener light shall break
At last upon our mortal eyes,
To guide us as our footsteps make
The pilgrimage to Paradise.

The lumber cut in Maine the coming
season will be very large according to
reports received from different Sec
tions of the State. The cut in Aroos
took county will be heavy and many
new camps will be established. The
amount needed for the many pulp ana
lumber mills will be millions of feet,
in addition to that received from
Canada and the Provinces. During
the summer not few of the contrac-
tors have built camps, and In the see-
tons where operations will be con-
tinued from last winter, extensive re-
pairs have been made. One of the
most perplexing problems with which
the contractors have To deal is the Sc
curing of necessary help. Already
many of the contractors are advertis-
ing for help but the responses thus far
have been few. While conditions in
the woods, as far as maintenance and
keep are concerned. are better than
ever before, and the wages are higher
there are but few responses to the APP
peals of the contractors. Up to a few
years ago all the necessary help
could be secured in the smaller towns
but now the majority of the laborers
in the woods, other than bosses and
foremen, come from the laboring ranks
of the larger cities.
