And somehow they can't remember that

they ban% remember that ever Joseph

When we'll need what little we've put by

,,,.. we don't keep something in store,
There isn't one that would help us to

The gal is a mighty fine lady,and it grinds

Atemuch money as she has been used to;

A MOTHER'S DEPARTURE„
Linos on the death of Mrs Jordan.
,Alone we're left, our mother has gone,
Gone to her heavenly home ;
We mourn our loss, yet still we know
1 She wears a glorious crown.
Never again shall we behold
That face, to us so dear,
Till death shall come and take us home,
. Our home in heaven so near.
f North winds may blow and bitter blasts
May chill oar hearts with fear,
But God, the widows and orphans
' strength,
• Will be our comfort here.
Into our lives He casts a ray-
', That gleameth through the dark,
A glorious, bright and lucid ray,
That calms tbe troubled heart.
I' E'en as that mother we loved on earth
Has gone with Chriet to stay,
So we, by faith, will follow her,
And'wipe our tears away.

A number of boys were playing near

An unsuccessful attempt was made

Mrs Isaiah Kierstead, of Belle Isle,
Kings County, N. B. coaxed a horse
to come to hes by holding out
her hat. The brute, expecting oats
was so enraged at the disappointment
that he wheeled about and kicked out
with both hind feet, one of which
struck the woman in the forehead, the
calk of the shoe piercing the bone and
exposing the brain.
At the fruit growers' meeting lately
held at Grimsby, President Allan said
that he was going to try the experi-
ment of shipping apples to India, via
the Canadian Pacific Railway. Tbe
future possibilities of this trade were
a demonstrated success.. He hoped
to see fruits shipped in cold blasts to
aid their keeping qualities, and with
this process apples would carry to
India as well asjto Liverpool.
The engineers of a heavy double-
header train saw a child on the track
near the village of Rock Glen' N.Y.
They whistled for brakes, andwhen
the train was almost upon the child
one of the engineers leaped from his
locomotive, and, running ahead,
caught the infant from the track. As
a reward, the Mother has recorded the
engineer's name in the family bible !

The Minneapolis Tribune has pub-
licly ackkowledged the error it com-
mitted in publishing any matter un-
complimentary to Mrs Cleveland dur-
ing her visit to that city. Will E.
Haskell, jun., member of The Tribune
Company assumes over bis own sign-
ature the responsibility for the Cleve-
lared.editorial_and entirely exonerates
Mr Blethen from all knowledge,parti-
cipation or responsibility in the same.
At Paisley, on Tuesday morning.,
fire was discovered in the dwelling --
house occupied by Mrs S. R. Ritchie.
The eldest son, about a5 years of age.
was living alone in the house. When
first seen the fire was burning in the
kitchen, which adjoined the bedroom
• ofthe young man. The bedroom win-
dow was broken as speedily as possi-
ble, but before the yonng man could
be rescued life was extinct. Part of.
the furniture was saved. The house
was insured in the Western Insurance
Company for $400 or $500. Messrs.
Bowers and Brown, who rescued the
body, were burned, but not very seri-
onsly.
A CANADIAN POLITICIAN, acatird-
ing to a Sandwich jury, cannot be in-
jured by being called a .!`boodler"—a
man who betrays a public trust for
money, or who makes his position a
means of filling his pocket at the ,ex-
pense of the people. Unfortunately,
there is too much meson to believe
that during the two last Parliaments
not only the majority of the members
but a large majority of wirepullers
and politicians were 'boodlers,' but
still there was a minority who were
honest and not a few of the honest
ones were bows-. from peihciple. It
does not do to generalize too widely
even in the classification of politi-
cians, though most people are of the
opinion of the Sandwich jury that It
is not easy to injure the reputation of
an average politician.
An unusual scene took place in the
Assize Court which opened at Brock;
ville•on Monday, before Mr Justice
O'Connor. Geo. Hoover, aged about
27, was arraigned on the charge of
stealing some clothing from Chae. P.
Vineburg at Brockville last April,and
pleaded guilty. When asked by the
Judge what he bad to say why sen-
tence should not be passed, he broke
forth into a torrent of foul and blas-
phemous language,and told His Lord-
ship to go to hades—only he used an-
other word. The Judge gave him
seven years in the penitentiary. Up.
on this Hoover broke forth more
violently than before cursed hisihear-
era generally,and said that if he could
get hold of a pistol be would blow out
his brains before the whole crowd of
them.
A most remarkable ease has just
been bronght to light at Lyons,Mich.,
It is claimed that Wm Rogers, who
was sent to Jackson for twelve years
for the murder of Senator Coolidge in
this village in 1880 is innocent of the
crime. Ex -Sheriff Wm Toan has
the matter in hand and will try to get
Rogers released. The calm of his in-
nocence is based upon the affidavits
of Mrs P. F. Rambo, of Grand Lodge
and W. A. Vallean,who was a board-
.er in the Rambo home at the time of
the Coolidge murder. The affidavits
allege that Mr Rambo's husband,now
serving a term in an Llionis prison,is
the MIR who committed the murder,
and 'they further aver that Rambo
confessed the murder to them on the
morning after it was committed.

Of the twenty statesmen who com-
pose the Inter -Provincial Conference,
which assembled in Quebec on Thurs.
day Hon.Oliver Mowat alone can lay
claim to the distinction of having
been a member of the Conference of
1864, that took place in the eamie city
and resulted in Confederlerm. He
has been honored by being elected
President of the Conference.
Albert B.Parsons, the Chicago an-
archist, now awaiting execution for
participation in the murder of police-
men in the Haymaitet, riots, has
vritten a letter objectink to have,
his
sentence commuted to penal servitude
for life. Ele exclaims, "give me lib-
erty or give me death." Judging by
the tone of the Chicago press, he is
likely to have his wish gratified—to a
limited extent. But he will never be
allowed to go at large.

The Loudon Telegraph finds that

served the confidence of the people.
