was returned. The entries are few 
and the pencil marks faint. It seems, 
however, that James Haskell took the 
first volume of ‘Josephus’ to sea and 
James Ober cheered his voyage with 
‘Edwards on Affliction.’ The num- 
bers of the books taken by Richard 
Ober and Grace Haskell are not 
given, therefore we do not know the 
names. 
“In 1842 school district libraries 
were established by state law, the 
state making an appropriation of fif- 
teen dollars and the school districts 
giving the same sum. There is no 
record that I have found of this li- 
brary. 
“In 1875, Louisa Loring and her 
family, with some young friends, 
made a collection of books mainly 
for young people, which she gave out 
on Saturday mornings to the boys and 
girls, who often came from a long 
distance to get them. In 1884 these 
books, several hundred in number 
were given to the ‘Neighbor’s library’ 
established by Mrs. Henry Whiteman 
in 1880. 
“When this library grew to some 
1700 volumes in 1808, a transfer of it 
to the town was arranged by Thomas 
D. Connolly and William R. Brooks. 
on condition that the town should 
supply a suitable room, a librarian, 
periodicals and reference books, with 
a weekly express service to bring 
books from the main library. 
“The library was well todeed.t in the 
little room under the G. A. R. hall; 
but as the books grew more numer- 
ous and the use was greater the room 
became impossible. 
“Now, however, we are well 
housed, and our new beautiful build- 
ing is in a way, a home-made product, 
for the senior architect, Charles G. 
Loring, was born and grew up at 
Pride’s Crossing and the moulds for 
the terra cotta ornaments and the 
beautiful carving of the clock given 
us by Mrs. Weston were done by 
Willis Pride. 
“We have now 5,000 volumes in 
the library, we take eight magazines, 
one daily paper and three illustrated 
weeklies. We have a daily express 
service with the Beverly library by 
which means the Farms _ residents 
have as good a chance to draw books 
from thence as the people who live 
in town.”

Alas! how changed from the fair scene, 
When birds sang out their mellow lay 
And winds were soft, and woods were green, 
And the song ceased not with the day. 
But still wild music is abroad, 
Pale, desert woods! within your crowd; 
And gathering winds, in hoarse accord, 
Amid the vocal reeds pipe loud.

Has grown familiar with your song; 
I hear it in the opening year,— 
I listen, and it cheers me long.
