As all thine Institutions prove:
Thine orphan homes, thy Hotel Dicn,

Thy love for dear departed too.

Love's deeds fresh in memory true
Not soon forgotten, always bright,

sible to conceive. In oue week the old la

Through the columns of the Eastern
State u writer presents the people of this
town with a brief statement of facts, and
offers n little friendly advice which areap
pliciihlf to other communities than the one
to which it refers. After speaking of
some of the nourishing Industries of a
neighboring town, lie says:
I'aiilon me, citizens of , but I
could not help contrasting the two towns,
shunted ns they are, only about eight miles
apurt. A few years ago there were no fac
tories in either townT our conditions were
about etual ; if there was any difference it
was in our favor. Our water-power Is equal
to, and I may say better than, theirs. We
have several times had business men (man
ufacturers) confer with us without avail,
and as a result, while we have sat down on
every movement that would build us up as
a village, our neiglilmr has secured two
first-class wol'en mills that have called
arouud theru other necessary industries,
making it a live town. When we take a
survey of our beautiful village, with its
neat white cottage houses nestled under
w ide stimuli uc elms, and know as well as
we do the snug bank accounts and paying
investments of many of our people, we can
say that they are lietter able to-day to help
themselves to business than our neighbors
were when first approached by a manufac
turer .seeking a location. W e do nothing
to help ourselves, and then complain be
cause we have nothing to do. Our young
men go to other places to find employment,
more often from necessity than a desire to
do so; can we expect It to be different ? I
cannot see how. We, that Is same of us,
can continue to do as we have done for years
post, pride ourselves on the beautiful lo
cation, our well laid out streets, homes sha
ded by majestic elms and broad-leaved ma
ples, so that an approacu rroiu any uirec
tion t slunmer reveals nothing to Indicate
,tn(lt a jew England village lies beneath
their foliage. This Is all good as far as It
goes, but shade trees and homes can only
protect us from the Inclemency of the wea
ther. Our vouni: men and women want
emnlovment. out of w hich can be earned
money to supply the demands of every day
life, and not finding it here they seek other
fields of labor, where the spindle makes
music in the air, telling of hives of Indus
try, in which the diligent hand finds em
ploynient and "the laborer is worthy of his
hire." lien we take a survey of our sur-roundin-'S,
and see spread out before us a
sheet of water covering an area of seven
thousand acres, into which are flowing
three good sized streams, besides Innumer.
alile smaller brooks, and out of which the
one river winds Its wav with sufficient pow.
er, if properly applied, to give employment
to nve hundred people, wnai can we say in
defence of the apathy of our people Even
as I write, a young lady has passed down
to the station to go in search of employ,
mentthat should be found here. A con
tinual stream of employment-seekers is
leaving us. As fast as young men and wo
men attain their majority they go, not to
return except as visitors. Can we flourish
under such a drain upon the muscle and
brain of our town ? I say n, we cannot
thrive and compete successfully, alongside
of our more energetic neighbors; While I
would not covet our neighbor's mills, yet I
would that we could feel the necessity of
duplicating them. Let us awaxe out of
the Hip Van Winkle sleep that is upon us
and show that we are worthy to occupy and
improve the natural advantages that God
has given us, instead of allowing the wa
ters of "Great East Pond" to run unob
structed to the sea, an open thoroughfare
for migratory Ash.
