Owner hundred and eleven years ago 
last Sunday the lights on Baker's Island 
were lighted for the first time. ‘The 
lighthouse was raised Sept. 16, 1797, and 
the lights were shown Jan. 3, 1798. 
The house was a long wooden structure, 
the keeper’s residence being in the cen- 
tre, and the lights at eitherend. In1816 
the double lights for some reason were 
discontinued, only one being shown. 
This arrangement was prolonged until 
1820, much being ex- 
pressed meanwhile. Asa result of the 
joint action by the Salem Marine society 
and the town of Marblehead, the new 
lighthouses were erected. “The double 
lights were restored Oct. 18, 1820, and 
they have continued until the present 
dissatisfaction 
time. 
Teacu your children where they live! 
Nearly every day the daily papers tell 
of some little child picked up in the 
streets and held ata police station for 
identification. Only last Saturday an 
officer attached to Station 5, Boston, 
found a little girl on Washington street.

from the little one was futile. She knew 
a policeman, was very polite, but when 
it came to telling her address she was 
unable to do so. And somewhere a 
frantic mother and half crazed father 
were no doubt trying to find their little 
girl. A mother, knowing that her child 
is lost, can suffer no greater anguish, nor 
go through a more trying ordeal. And 
it may be days before any trace can be 
found. The chances are that the in- 
formation will come through the press. 
However, it may be time can never wipe 
out the memory of the hours of terrible 
suffering just endured. 
Teach your child its name—its right 
name, not the “‘Dot,’’ or “‘Baby,’’ or 
‘“Tiny,’’ so dear in the home— even if 
that name be Hiram, or Reuben, Betsy or 
Sally, or whatever it may be. And also 
the proper address, street number and 
all.

Now and then there comes to light a 
real, old fashioned relic. Once in 
a while a man digs up an Indian arrow 
head, or, perchance, a tomahawk. But 
for the real thing, take a look at the 
exhibit hanging in the window of the 
R. Robertson Co.’s shop on Beach 
street, Manchester. Here you will see 
a real relic of the ages gone before. 
The inscription which accompanies the 
exhibit would indicate that it was a 
watch. No one would guess this, of 
course, aS we are not supposed to know 
these old timers when we meet up with 
them. And it was used by Darius, 2nd, 
when he was official timer for the chariot 
races in ancient Gloucester, or some- 
where down the line. We have looked 
all through the history of the U. S., but 
cannot find out who Darius was, so you 
will have to find out for yourself. We 
hate to admit this, as newspaper men are 
supposed to know everything. This ex- 
hibit is marked 23423, but here again 
we arein the dark, although suppose that 
was the license number of one of the 
chariots. There is also something about 
114 B. C., but probably this stands for 
“‘bum case,’’ although we were not aware 
that jewelers had to mark their watches 
thus in the time of Darius. 
One thing is clear, nobody else will 
use this watch with which to time races. 
Was Darius a plumber? If he was, 
what need did he have of a watch? 
IF I WERE THE LORD. 
If I Were God, and this poor world were mine! 
, , : Omar. 
I sometimes think, if I were the Lord, 
The Lord of earth’s millions small and great 
I would not send fire and famine and sword ; 
This beautiful world to devastate, 
I would not do it if I were the Lord. 
It has seemed to me, if I were the Lord 
I would hold the lightnings in the sky; 
_ The thunder should ever obey my word ; 
mods seas in the hollow of my hand should 
ie 
Calm and still, if I were the Lord. 
If I were the Lord, the omnipotent Lord 
The wise and loving father of all, ; 
I would make men live in loving accord, 
Nor bind each other in tyrannous thrall. 
Men should be brothers, if I were the Lord. 
All should be different, if I were the Lord 
There should be no briar, nor thorn : nor 
weed, : 
There should be no serpent, nor vulture, nor 
pard; 
Nor hatred nor scorn, but love indeed: 
All should be loving, if I were the Lord. 
And yet I am glad I am not the Lord,— 
That the order of Nature I may not change— 
That pleasure and penalty, pain and reward 
Are meted by Him whose ways are strange 
By Him who in heaven and earth is Lord. 
We know not whence we came. The Lord 
Calls us to earth from an unknown realm. 
We come and we go, at his will and word: 
We struggle and strive till death o’erwhelm. 
What! whence! whither’ Who knows but 
the Lord. 
I know that in wisdom the infinite Lord 
Fashioned the world we are living in; 
That life is not something to be abhorred 
But a wholesome stage of our discipline 
Wisely ordained by our judge and Lord. 4 
It may be, it may be, that God, the Lord 
Leaves us to live in our little hour, 
Freely to act of our own accord, 
The sport of a good and evil power, 
Our own free-wills over ruled by the Lord. 
Over ruled for our good by the great good 
Lord, 
Whose wisdom and mercy and love abound 
Toward all His works, —be His name adored— 
Till in heaven at last shall our life be crowned 
And we praise the name of our-loving Lord. i 
One thing is certain: God the Lord 
Is love and wisdom, no less than power 
And infinite blessing with Him is stored : 
For those who trust in life’s darkest hour— 
Who trust in the goodness of God the Lord. 
I believe that sometime, somewhere, the Lord 
If not on earth, in the heavenly sphere, 
Shall of knowledge, from faith, full fruition 
afford, 
And all be made plain that puzzles us here 
All shall be clear in the day ofthe Lord. 
In silence I wait for the day of the Lord. 
phere the world’s wailing and anguish and 
ear 
The chorus of heaven in Sweetest accord, 
The loud Alleluias of Angels, I hear, 
The songs of the saints to Jehovah, the Lord. 
Strengthen my faltering faith, O Lord! 
So will I trust thee whatever befal, 
Calmly confide in thy own sure word, 
Faithfully follow thy loving call,— 
My Maker, my Master, my Savior, my Lord!
