Excerpt from Bar Harbor As the little steamer draws up to her moorings the groups of people waiting on the pier stand out distinctly, and the usual types detach themselves one by one. The clusters of hotel-runners and express men are lounging listlessly until they shall be roused to clamorous activity by the landing of the first passenger; in knotsand those serenely idle ofall 30' ages, who, all places and seasons, seem Harbor to find an ever - new amusement in watch ing the arrival of trains or boats, are as deeply interested as usual; the inevitable big and solemn dog, of nondescript breed and eclectic affections, is stalking about with an air of responsibility.
