PORTLAND.
The meeting-house is the manifesta- tion of the spirit of a community. Mr. Willis, writing of the condition at the close of the Revolution, says "that it was some time before the First parish could collect its scattered members." "They had done what they could to support public worship, but they were lamentably poor and dispirited." "The old meeting-house, pierced and shat- tered by the enemy, and suffering from subsequent neglect, was a melancholy ruln." Three times had the adversary prevailed against the settlement and vandalism displanted civilization: First by the Indians in 1676 second by the Indians and their French confederates in 1690, and third by Englishmen under the command of "that execrable scoun- drel and monster of ingratitude, Capt. H. Mowatt of Scotland."
Few if any efforts were made to re- build the waste places upon the Neck before the close of the war; only those whose necessities required it had sup- plied themselves with habitations; nak- ed chimneys and partially consumed buildings were standing monuments of ruin and desolation. The currency of the country was of uncertain value; in 1783 a piece of real estate on Middle street was bought for five hundred pounds and paid for with one hundred and thirty-seven Spanish dollars.
The colonies gained their indepen- dence but a general feeling of disinte- gration yet prevailed; whether the United States was a confederacy or a nation was a serious question; the old hostility to Massachusetts supremacy was kept alive by frequent discussions of the subject of restoring to the dis- trict of Maine its ancient privileges. There was felt to be a lack of sympathy in the town for the unfortunate village on the Neck, and even the old parish, notwithstanding its forlorn condition, was divided against itself.
The following acrostic, published in the Falmouth Gazette February 5th, 1785, savors of prophetic inspiration:
From th' ashes of the old, a Town ap- pears
And Phoenix like, her plumey head she rears,
Long may she flourish; be from war se- cure,
Made rich by commerce and agricul- ture;
O'er all her foes triumphant; be con- tent
