Suggested on receiving a piece of
birthday cake from my friend and
neighbor, Mrs. Adeline Lovell :
"I'm etghty-niue."spoke tlie gentle voice,
"Lying here still, from day to day,
So active has been my life, from choice,
It Is bard to bear, this helpless way."
•'But it must be right, for the best,I know,
Tho' the heart rebel, and vexeth sore, «
Or the dear, good Lord would not will It s(T,
And 'tis but a trifle to what He bore."
"No child with me now; all,all away,
Tho' kind, strange faces around me stana ,
But they come to me oft, and ea^h birthday,
That bears me on to the Spirit laud."
"I can no longer read or write,
Or scarcely talk; can you understand?"
And the tongue, so eloquent once, and bright,
Was tremulous, like the feeble hand.
But the face of the invallJ , as I gazed,
Seemed wondrous free from furrow or lice
A vouth In age, the sight amazed,
What secret here doth the soul dlvlue?
Oh mystery ! life 1 no fear, no dread 1 ¦
Wrapt In the arms of the living God I
His linage still, no death, no dead,
Whether above or beneath the sod !

who for sixteen years has owned sloop
Pearl of Falmouth , U about to sell her. She
was built at Falmoutb. and was launched
Sept. 10, 1845, making her nearly 43 years
old. She has done good service, having
been employed during meat of her existence
in carrying firewood from New Bedford to
¦Nant ucket, Edgartown , and ports on the
¦south side of Cape Cod, aud Capt. Baker
says shfi has carried wood enough to Nan-
tucket to build a pile eight feet high and
four feet wide all the way from New Bed-
lord to Nsmtuckot. When Nantucket had a
larger population than now, and less coal
was burned and numerous whale9bips were
calling with great quantities of wood In
there outfits , there was a great deraiud for
it. Tiie sails that Capt. Baker bought with
the vessel are still doing serrlce, and all re-
pairs on her have been made by the captalu
himself. She Is a flat-bottomert vessel, built
to run Into shallow harbors,aud with a ton-
nage of 15.6», she hat only 3.7 feet depth.
She has never had a thorough overhauling
and repairing, and yet she is perfectly tight,
and her pump has hot been started for
mouths. Her Cape Cod Ditch-pine frame Is
:ih sound as it was the day she was launched.
In all the years that Capt. Baker has sailed
her she has never touched a rock. When
Capt. Baker bought her she had a brick fire-
place in the cabin for burning wood, but he
has taken it out and substituted a stove.
Once he brough t from Cuilinark three car-

HARRISON AND MOR TON.
The republican party has selected as
its standard bearers in the coming cam-
paign Gen. Benj amin IIakhison of
Indiana aud Hon. Levi P. Mourox of
New York. In this nomination the
party has put its best and most winning
ticket in the Held. It represents best ,
the sentiment of the party. It has al-
ready made such a strong appeal to the
pride and patriotism of the loyal North
that the wisest and most observing men
predict with enthusiastic confidence
that the republicans will carry everv
northern state as it did in 1SS0 under
Garrteld aud Arthur. The manner in
which the Chicago ticket arouses the
warmth and zeal of the party augurs
well for a hot campaign. It will be one
in which the younger element , "the
boys." will take an active part. It will
be another 1S40 campaign in which Gen.
\V. II. Harrison beat Van Buren and the
Democratic party. Our older readers
will remember the "Tippereanoe and
Tyler too" election ; they will see a
repetition of it this rear, with the same
vim and dash and the same result too.
Our delegates to Chicago are entitled
to the gratitude of the party for placing
so good a ticket in nomination as well
as for the glorious platform upon which
to stand. With such a platform , ap-
pealing to the sobriety, good sense and
patriotism of the nation , and with two
such candidates, conspicuous for every
quality which Americans love to support
there can he but one result. To the
accomplishment of this end we shall
bring all the aid in our power.

Figures Made 1>y a Connecticut
Democratic Congressman.
Congressman Vance, Democratic mem-
ber from the First Connecticut District,
says :
"¦The States which are regarded as
certain for the Republicans will give
their ticket 1S2 Electoral votes. There
is no use in our claiming an3r of those
votes; they are always Republican and
more apt to be so now than at any
other time on account of the tariff issue.
Accepting this as a starting point then
it is only ncecssaiy for the Republicans
to secure nineteen more votes in order
to carry the election. Fifteen of these
they expect to get iu Indiana and six
from Connecticut, and that carries the
day. Now the question to my mind is,
can this be prevented? As to Indiana ,
I only know what is told me by the In-
diana delegates. They do not even pre-
tend to say that they have any.surety of
a successful issue in that State, but , on
the contra ry, are very much alarmed
about the outcome. This being the case
it becomes absolutely necessary for us
to carry Connecticut. It will make no
difference what kind of a majority New
York gives Cleveland. Ic will make no
difference how New Jersey will go.
Without we carry Connecticut , Harri-
son will be elected. No, I have just re-
turned from my State and am very
much worried over the outlook. The
people are for protection before they
are for anything else, and I hear a good
many Democrats talking in a doubtful
way about supporting the ticket on ac-
count of the Mills bill. The cry of free
trade has frightened them , and among
their number are some very intelligent
men , men you would suppose would not
talk unless they knew what they were
talking about."
That able religious journal , the New
York Independent , again throws the
force of its great influence in behalf of
the Republican cause. The Independent
says :
"The Republican party is again on
solid ground. It has returned to its old
traditions. It has given us a ticket
which Christian men and men of con-
viction can heartily support. Those
who left the party in 1S84 can now re-
turn and vote for men as well as princi-
ples. There is no excuse for cotitinued
alienation. Let us close up our ranks
and have an old-fashioned Republican
victory in November."'
A notable gathering assembled at the
Parker House in Boston Thursday night
when the free soilers of forty years ago
met and commemorated their party's
origin by a banquet. Hon. Edward "L.
Pierce presided and among those present
were Hon. Robert T. Davis and S. C.
Wrightington of Fall River, Charles G.
Davis, C.O. Churchill , George F. Westou
and James B. Colliuswood of Plymouth ,
Elijah Shoot of Hingham , and 'Stephen
M. Allen of Foxboroush.
The Chicago convention declared for
no duties on what cannot be produced in
this country and duty enough to pro-
tect our home market for our own pro-
ductions. Why is not that doctriue sat-
isfactory except to those who believe in
free trade on principle ?—Dail y Adver-
tiser.
The national House commerce com-
mittee has made a uuanimous report on
Dr. Davis' bill to establish a light-ship
off Great Round Shoal, near Nantucket,
at a cost not to exceed $00,000. The
bill provides that the ship shall be con-
structed in an American ship-yard on
contract after advertising.
A gentleman summering at Hyannis
Port, is reported in saying: "he had
been a life long democrat and had al-
ways voted the democratic ticket but
this year should vote for Harrison and
protection."
The Boston Record truly states that
the republicans have never failed to
elect a soldier whom they have nomina-
ted, and that the last democrat who
tried to secure a second term was de-
feated by Harrison.
That rabid Cleveland journal, the
Marlboro' Times, tritely observes : "No-
body can say now that there is no
difference between the two parties, ex-
cept in name. The two platforms are
as wide apart as hell and Marlborough.'
A Boston young man shot himself on
tha day he was to be married , because
his tailor had disappointed him in not
having his wedding suit ready.
Mrs. Warren, the Colorado cattle
queen, who is said to be worth, §10,000,-
000, is the wife of Bishop Warren, of
the Methodist church.
The Boston Herald asserts that the
national flag as an offset to the red ban-
dana is a failure.
Gen. Sheridan is to be removed to his
summer home at Nonquitt, Buzzards
Bay.
A snow storm visited Scotland on the
second day of June and the snow fell
for hours in the Deeside valley.
Ship Farragut of Boston with a crew

[From the Boston Daily Advertiser.]
The Republican Nominee for
President.
The nomination of Benjamin Harri-
son is perfectly satisfactory. He is
admittedly an able man and no one has
ever questioned the absolute stainless-
ness of his character, lie has been in
public life and iu the army for nearly
30 years and his reputation was never
attacked. He has come to be the recog-
nized leader of the party in a State like
Indiana when such a post is far from
nominal. In private life, iu the army,
in the senate, in victory and defeat he
has retained the love of his friends and
the respect of his enemies. Emphati-
cally a self-made man, he is poor to-day
because his benefactions have been
large, lie is a plain man , almost to
sternness, yet his whole career is a rec-
ord of loyalty to others and of loyalty
shown him. In public, there is nothing
that does not command the respect of
all; in private, his character is remarka-
bly attractive. We believe that the
more light is thrown upon him, the bet-
ter he will commend himself.
Gen. Harrison is a modest man. He
has no pride of descent , and his best
friends have never heard him men-
tion it. Yet it is not to be despised that
he comes from a stock noted in our au-
nals. His great-grandfather, Benjamin
Harrison, was a leader in his day, a
signer of the Declaration of Indepen-
dence and afterward governor of Vir-
ginia, while liis grandfather was Wil-
liam Henry Harrison , elected president
in 1S40 by a great majority. Eurther
back his line goes to John Harrison , one
of the regicides of Charles 1, and exe-
cuted at the restoration of Charles II.
With such blood in his veins, no wonder
that this man has much of the old
Presbyterian makeup—calm, self-pos-
sessed aud not easily moved. His onl y
national arena has been iu the senate,
and in that six years he easily became a
recognized force, as his associates on
both sides gladly admit.
Indeed, Harrison represents the very
type of man and of surroundings that
we would have selected, lie needs no
apology, and a forgiving people will be
asked'to ignore no black spots upon his
career. He had brighter rivals in the
field, men better known and who at-
tracted attention by some single catch
phrase, but among them all not one
gained more as he was studied and not
one was more complete in the promise
of his hold on the people.
The Republican Nominee lor
Vice President.
Levi Parsons Morton was born in
1S24 in Shoreham, Yt. He is a lineal
descendant of George Morton , one of
the Pilgrim Fathers. His father was a
clergyman, Rev. Daniel O. Morton. Levi
began his business life as a clerk in a
Hanover, N. II., dry goods store. When
21 he entered a dry goods store in Con-
cord. Four years later , in 1840, he
moved to Boston and became a member
of the dry goods firm of Beebe, Morton
& Co. His connection with this firm
continued till 1S54, when he moved to
New York aud founded the dry goods
house of Morton & Griiinell. This firm
became financially involved at the be-
ginning of the war, and compounded
with its creditors at ;
"i0 cents on the dol-
lar. Mr. Morton established a banking
house in ISO.'!. Om; day the late credi-
tors of the firm of Morton & Griiinell
received an invitation from Mr. Morton
to dine with them. When they s;.t
down to dinner each man found beneath
his plate a check signed by Mr. Morton
for an amount of money that paid the
claim in full , with interest.
Mr. Morton was elected as member of
Congress in 1S/S. As a member of Con-
gress he took a commanding position
whenever financial questions were under
consideration. He strongl y opposed
the bill providing for the unlimited coin-
age of silver dollars , and his influence
had a great effect in . defeati ng it. He
was one of the most popular men in
Congress on both sides of tile chamber.
Iu 1S80 members of tho Ohio delega-
tion at the National Republican Conven-
tion , after Gen. Garfield had been nomi-
nated for President, urged Mr. Morton
to accept the nomination for Vice-Presi-
dent. He declined , and Gen. Arthur
was nominated for the oillce. President
Garfield offered Mr. Morton the office of
Secretary of the Navy, which the latter
declined, lie did accept from President
Garlield, however, the appointment of
Minister to France. Very soon after
this appointment Dartmouth College
made him a Doctor of Laws, and the
next year Middlebury College also
added LL. D. to his name.
When Congress placed the Lnited
States ship Constellation at the disposal
of those desiring to send stores for the
relief of starving Ireland , and when the
project of sending the goods seemed
likely to fail , Mr. Morton (refusing to
allow his name to be made public) paid
a large proportion of the cost. He has
always been a most liberal giver to all
worthy charities.
The gauntlet thrown down by the
Democrats has been as boldl y taken up
by their Republican opponents and the
great issue of Free Trade and Protec-
tion must be met fairly in the coming
presidential campaign. The result of
the election this year will exert a great
influence on the industries of this
country for many years to come. It
will determine whether we shall con-
tinue the protection to our great indus-
tries which have nude our country so
great, or whether wo shall open this
vast field as a market for the product of
foreign countries, whose labor is almost
pauper. The question is of vital im-
portance to the laboring men and they
will do well to carefully consider it be-
fore castiug their ballot next November.

Just now the English sparrow is in
high repute up in St. Lawrence county,
New York, because it makes havoc of
the army worm and thus saves the
crops. If the rude little joker \\*>uld
spread himself around where the cater-

limbs of cherry and apple trees and
pick off the vile consumers of leaves
and blossoms, he might be forgiven for
other short comings and tolerated with-

On the Cape.
A town that, like Barnstable, cele-
brated the two hundreth anniversary of
its settlement a half century ago, nearly,
may, comparatively speaking, be said to
be venerable. After the "Landing"' at
Plymouth the years were few that
elapsed before the "strangers"from over
the waters began to make their presence
felt iu what was destined to be the shire
town of the county. From the first the
Pilgrim Fathers exhibited a growing
attachment to the strip of land which,
like an encircling arm , stretches out
into the ocean ; and the pioneers of the
Mayflower only left their first anchorage
in Provincetown harbor , too late, with
their successors, to find their way back
to the original starting point.
On this site, where to-day the grass is
going down before that modern labor-
saving implement, the mowing machine,
preceding generations have gathered
large crops of hay from fields that
stretched northward down to the shore,
and southerly towards the woods. But
if the tillers of the soil have here gath-
ered their increase from season to season
for two centuries and a half nearl y,
other members of families who have
called this spot home, have served their
day in wider if not more important fields
of usefulness. Those who in childoood
roamed these fields, drinking in the
fresh air of heaven , or try ing their skill
and developing their muscles in farther
and still farther miniature boating expe-
ditions in acquiring their first experi-
ence with the great deep, later in life
have stood in the vigor of perfect man-
hood as commanders of merchant ships
employed iu the great commerce between
the metropolis of the New and of the
Old Worlds equal to the responsibility
resting upon them in the care of rich
stores of property and more valuable
lives. If from any other section of the
land there were found men more skilled
iu seamanship, or braver or more self-
possessed iu the hour of danger when
the "waves were lifted up on high,'" we
have yet to learn of them.
Looking still back in the past we dis^
corn the figure of one, who, owner of
the old homestead for only a few years,
made his mark in a different walk of life.
A native of the Cape, few can be named
who have had a harder struggle in the
commencement of life, or who persevered
in the face of obstacles and discourage-
ments with a braver heart or with a
firmer resolution to succeed if success
were within the bounds of human possi-
bility. That he did succeed ; that after
many years wealth poured into his lap,
that he was numbered with the "mer-
chant princes," that his name became
prominent in financial circles, and was

As we write the grass of the field is
still falling, while our thoughts have
strayed away to those whose eyes in the
years that have passed have found rest
as ours have by gazing upon these green
fields "watered by the rain from heaven."
If we find a lesson of mutability in the
"grass that to-day is, and to-morrow is
cast into the oven ,"' it ought not to be a
sad one, for lie who careth for the spar-
row and for the flower of the field , has
given us the discipline of earth to pre-
pare us for an unfading inheritance in
the heavens. G. i\

Motion for a New Thial.—A mo-
tion for a new trial in the case of Capt.
Marcus L. Howes, who was convicted
of manslaughter in causing the death,
by shooting, of Hidaka Kikumatsu, one
of the crew on board the bark Freeman,
was filed in the Clerk's office of gthe
United States Circuit Court, Tuesday
afternoon , ou the ground that there was
not sufficient proof that the vessel was
ownid by American citizens. Another
motion was also filed , asking that ?thc
verdict ma}' be amended to read : "Not
guilty of murder, but guilty of man-
slaughter." Mr. Avery, the counsel for
the prisoner , claims that the verdict of
manslaughter carries with it the impli-
cation that the defendant was not guilty
of the murder alleged in the indictment ,
and that, if a new trial should be
granted the prisoner cannot be tried for
any greater offence than that which the
jury found him guilty of.
The Taunton Gazette remarks that one
of the curiosities of the political feeling
in that city is the fact that the subscrip-
tion paper to pay for firing a salute in
honor of Harrison's nomination was cir-
culated by the man who was the leader
of the Cleveland Independents in the
last campaign; and a large percentage
of the subscribers was made up of those
who voted in the same way in 1SS4.
The Harrisons are opposed to English
institutions. The first Harrison assisted
in executing an English king, the second
Harrison signed the Declaration of In-
dependence, the third Harrison became
President of the nation created by it,
and the present Harrison will be typical
of American protection over British free
trade.—Philadelphia North American.

Base Ball
The first of a series of games which
C. B. Cory, Esq., has arranged to be
played at Hyannis, June 30 and July 2,
3 and 4, took place last Satnrday, the
Hyannis and South Yarmouth clubs be-
ing the contestants. Mr. Cory has se-
cured the services of several strong
amateurs and last Saturday presented p.
well-known professional in the person
of M. M. Hackett, a former catcher of
the Boston club. It was plain at the
outset tnat Hyannis had too strong a
combination for the visitors and the
game lacked that interest which is usu-
ally manifest in closely contested ama-
teur games being devoid of a single
brilliant play. The clubs which are to
play this week are as follows : Monday,
Provincetowns ; Tuesday, Athletics of
Sandwich; Wednesday, Yarmouths. Be-
