The Loved and Lost of Long Ago.
(Written after a visit to the Congre-
gational burying-ground on State
street, Ellsworth)
The gate was broken, and 1 wandered
through,
To this ancient burial place upon the
Hill,
And strange it seemed so near the
citys heart,
To find a spot so desolate, and still.
l passed along the only avenue, with
awe-flled thoughts
OF how death claims it's slaves,
TIL, in this corner farthest from the
street
I found a score or more of little
children's graves
AS if the mothers, with the same
amount of care
That guards the sleeping babe with
'bated breath,
Had. for it's quiet, chosen this spot
Where they might sleep the last long
sleep of death.
The sunlight hickers through the
branches overhead
And plays with shadows on each lit
tie mound;
While here in this neglected spot, /
feel
That 1 am treading upon hallow'd
Made holy by the tears those mothers
shed
AS, one by one, these little graves
We're filed
BY grief these mothers never ceased to
feel,
Until their hearts the angel death
had stilled.
Oh, who that ever felt mothers love,
But can, in fancy see each funeral
train,

arguments in favor Of the pro-
posed hydroelectric developments

of the House District Committee
was that today by General Will

General Black declared that
the cost of current could be cut
to less than one-fifth of the
present rate, and that it might
be delivered at an even lower
figure when the plant is fully
developed. He pr>-dicted that If
the Government develops the
plant a great industrial center
will spring up on the banks of
the Potomac below Washington.
Praises Tyler's Report.
General Black praised the report
made by Major M. E. Tyler, former
engineer officer for the District,
