J. W. MAXWELL, SABATTUS, MAINE.
"Ring out the old, ring in the new," Is tbe maxbn, tried aud true, When ~tis applied as in the song', To driving out abuse and wrong. But when the old has stood the test, Proving itself to be the best, Why should we doubtful blessings choose, Risking a cel'tain good to lose? Sabattus people argue thus, And saNe themselves a yearly fuss Of naming servants new, their work Is safe with him who will not shit'k. Now that is why, for forty years, J. W. Maxwell's name appears As town cIerl.:; that is just two score; They bope he'll serve them two score more. He's served the schoolbo8l'd thirty-five In other places, nluch alive. He'~ sel'ved at least ten yeal's 01' so, Still looking for more work to do. "Go to the ant," sOinoone has said; Consider the lobster, friends, instead, FOl' lik,e grbn death his claws do cling, When he has found a right good thing.
