'Rut no one 'can love you more fondly than I,
My treasure, and beauty, and pride 1 •
CD ! had I a mansion, with carpets of gold—
And of silver—I'dcover the floor."'
But smiling, she said, "Yon can purchase the best
At the RED ROCKER FURNITURE STORE."
• "I'll spread you a couch open which to recline
When evening shall call
us to rest,
Of the fleeciest down." But she said with a sigh,.
" I likc.BEnsnTr's mattresses best.'
"Then se ahallitbe, love—and tables inlaid,
And seats from some far -distant shore,"
"Oh, po, " she exclaimed, "theyy have elegant chairs'

several years, notwithstanding the 'fact
that Clinton is in the west riding, has bet-
ter showfacilities

that a larger crowd could be got here.. It

u ver y one knows that there . are too
many shows in the county, and sooner or
later a change must be made. Let some

VITAL STATISTICS. _.. The report of.
births, marriages and deaths in the Pro-
vince of Ontario for the year 1882, has
just been issued. Tt seems to us that' this.
report might be compiled and issued
earlier because the facts in it loosesome
of their interest by being stale. By it We
find that the number of births -iii Huron
in that year, was 1603, a decrease of 117
aver the previous year; the marriages,
numbered 4151, a decrease of 20, and the
deaths, 685, with a decrease of 79,. 371 be,
ing males and 314 females. The rate of
marriages, 6.4 to every 1,000 population.
in the county, was the' lowest 'percentage'
of any county in the Dominion. ' Two
couple were married in the couuty in that
year, whets ages, bride and' groom, were
over 70 years. Among the deaths record-
-ed for the county, 66 are set down as by
old age, 44 by p eumonia, 25 by tlip}i•
theria, 22 by heart disease, 15 by typhoid
fever, 28 by scarlatina and 9 by diarrhoea.
There were two deaths in the county of
persons over 100 years of age, John 111e-
' Leod, of Tuckersmith, andwltobt, •Me-
Cuteheon, of Goderich. Moro marriages
take place in December than in any other
month, and the Presbyterians take the
lead by the largest number of marriages
in the eoailty, Methodists being next.,

CYerwa Novas. -4.0n Monday Messrs.
Bamford and Jackson,of the Clinton Bi-
cycle club, Cox and Asti of Goderlch,
and Xelly, of Blyth,, too part in the
tournament at Loudon, the Cinton boys
riding their wheels as far as Clandeboye,
running home front the same place. On
Monday ,evening,' R. Holmes rode from
Londesboro to Clinton In 85 minutes,'
clinibingg all hills, and, dismountin for a
team;: the distance is six miles. On Sat-
urday evening as alr. Jos. Chambers, who
was coming trona the Driving Park, ae-
cidently ran into the waggon of Mr. G.
Cockejiine Hallett who kept the whole
road, causing the team to run away, re,
it
suiting in a, slight damage. to the rig- .
Aiuxy NoTEs,—Services continue to be
held nightly by the Lord's Army, with
constant :accessions to their ranks. No
building in town has yet proved large
enough to accommodate the numbers who
desire to hear them, the townhall on
several occasions being packed to its ut-
most capacity, and large numbers being.
unable to gain admisslou. Several of
their recruits have been.ainong the hard
cases of the town, and their reformation.
appearing'to be genuine has gained sup-
porters for the army, who were formerly
opposed to it. Quito a, large number of
persons are wearing the small silver badge
as a token of their allegiance with the
Army. The number of boys Who parade
the streets late at night, singing snatches
of army songs, should have more respect
for religion. Some people object to the
street parade and other •means to draw at-
tention, but the Army appears to act on
the principle, the end justifies the mane.
