The house is dretful lonesome since Milly's gone away ; Though she's only gone across the road it's 'cause she's gone to stay ; An' when she comes to see me now she's full o' talk o' Fred, Tell I'd like to take him back the barn an' punch him in the head. It seems to me the good old days is over now an' gone, An.' nothin' left but lonesomeness an' gray hairs comin' on. Why, 1 'member when she used to come a-toddlin' to the gate, An' be watobin' down the lane for me, an' couldn't hardly wait Tell she saw me come a-hurryin' up the lane to her an' home, An' then nothin' oonldn't hold her, she's so glad to see me alma. Then when old sand -man came around and sleepy -time would be, No one could tell the stories right ex- ceptin' only me. An' then when she was older, how her party cheeks would glow When she'd say "she'd stick to father, didn't want no other beau." There's no one now to scold me if I wear a shabby coat, There's nobody to lead me in the way that I should vote ; There's no,thin' but remember tell suthin's like to break, Though I try to seem as clipper as old times just for her sake. 0, Milly, of you only could belittle once again— Jest my four-year-old, that didn't love no one but father—then Jest to keep ye so—uuchangin' tell the sleepy man come round An' you and me, my baby, slept togeth- er under ground! nesday. It is possible in France to in• sure the life of a child one day old. The Winnipeg market building was ourned Wednesday morning; loss, 580,000. American flour mills will shut down to a considerable extent in the next few weeks, as the mar- ket is glutted. C. J. Jones, a wealthy Kansas rancher has purchased the herd of tame buffaloes owned by Ward- en Beason, at Stoney Mountain, Man. It will be January 14th, 1889, before President Harrison is form- ally declared 'elected. Formerly the Electoral Colleges met on December 6th, but a new law fix- es 14th January as the date of meeting and counting the vote. A number of Keppel farmers combined together and shipped their stock direct to Buffalo. The experiment turned out a miser- able failure, and parties who ship state that they could have got better prices for the same cattle at home than they got at Buffalo. A PLEASURE SHARED BY WO- MEN ONLY. da111erbe, the gifted French author, declared that of all things that man possesses, women alone take pleasure in being possessed. This seems gener- ally true of the sweeter sex. Like the ivy plant, she longs for an object to cling to and love—to look to for pro- tection. This being her prerogative, ought she notto be told that Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is the physical salvation of her sex ? It banishes those distressing maladies that make her life a burden, curing all painful irregular- ities, uterine disorders, inflammation and ulceration, prolapsus and kindred weaknesses. As a nervine, it cures nervous exhaustion, prostration, debil-' ity, relieves mental anxiety and hypo- condria, and promotes refreshing sleep. Says the Arizo,ta Sentinel "Ouche and wife, two strappit Yuma Indians, worn weighed the. other day and 'tipped the beam' at 438 pounds. Tho buck is not over 22 and the squaw 16 years of age.'" A family jar in Ouche's family would begot an Arizona earthquake. WIVES OF PRESIDENTS. They have a curious habit in the States of discussing the wives of' the v-ariti'ils Presidents, ns if they occupied a -constitutional position. Just now Mrs Harrison, the wife of the President-elect, is the centre of' remark, as Mrs Cleveland has been for these four years past. Mrs Harrison is.said to have a good, strong, honest face, and amiable of disposition, But all the U. S. Presidents have not been as fortunate as Mr Cleve- land and Mr Harrison. There is a warm feeling through the pages of history for the widow of Mr Custis,who married George Wash- ington, and Dorothy Madison was sufficiently popular to be general- ly mentioned as Dolly. The Peggy O'Neil,who gave Andrew Jackson his domestic consolation, was a means to unending trouble and • onset, being very pretty and considerably unconventional. The wife of Mr Polk still lives if she hasn't recently died, and is a very agreeable old lady; andtbe Pierce family have so faded out that no- body knows whether a .single member of it is living or dead. • Mr • Bachacrftrh st h wife- lo -ng - before he' married her ; and his neice, who became mistress of the White House, married before the expiration of his term. The wife of Grant is a plain, practical, sen- sible woman, who will have the respect of the people as long as she lives, and thereafter. The Wife of Andrew Johnson was never a -prominent figure in the White •lfouse,though she taught Andrew to read and write. Lucy B.Ilayes was and is a motherly woman without any especial attractions. The wife of President Arthur was the daughter of Captain IIerndon, who went down wi h his hi p somewhere between .'an Francisco ienchind to another, filling h is and New York 4nm�tlne in •vQ stomach with all kinds of mix. or thereabouts. '-Che wife of (gar-' tures. When he .had eaten 80 cents worth he began to show his disgust ; at 45 cent's worth he he stuck. IIe had bet 51he could cat 50 cents worth of candy, but he paid it rather than eat the last iant s' worth." r A young lady of respectable parents in St. Catharines has got herself into a rather embarrassing predicament lately. She has been in the habit of collecting, osten- sibly for a missionary society, but in reality for herself. Her excuse, when questioned • about the matter, was that she did not receive sufficient pin money to clothe her as stylish as the other girls in her sot, and she decided upon the course she took to in- crease her exchequer. She has left the city. Mr Casper Douglas Pyne, M. P. for Waterford West, Ireland, whose melancholy death from drowning by falling from a steamer, is reported, is the Ilome Ruler who attained world-wide notoriety by shutting himself up in his fortified castle at Lisfarny last year, and defying the author- ities to arrest him for addressing public meetings in Ireland, con- trary to the provisions of the Coercion Act. He was the son of an Episcopal rector in ;Galway, Ireland, and was returned by ne- clamation at last general election. NEWS NOTES. Mr S. D. Ross, mot chant at Bancroft, Ont.,has purchased the skins of forty-four bears, all of which were killed in that local- ity this season. A Bangor lawyer, who is noted for his absent mindedness, went up his own stairs the other day, and seeing a notice on his door, "Back at 2 o'clock," sat down to wait for himself. The Manitoba Government bus stopped work on the Portage extension for the winter, and Western Manitoba farmers have no chance of being relieved from the monopoly this year. The Winnipeg Free Press and Call declined to go on with their ease against Ministers Greenway and Martin before the Royal Com- mission, and the inquiry has fallen through. It is stated on good authority that Rev. Father Chiuiquy has felt himself compelled, on account of ago, to give up his travels, and intends to settle down in Montreal for the remainder of his days. A Baltimore dressmaker used or pr•etendea to use 22 yards of cloth in a dress which could have been made with sixteen, and a jury made her pay for six yards. It was the first case ever won against a dressmaker in the State. The Amhersburg Echo utters a warning to Essex farmers to be on the lookout for a party of swindl- ers who have been cheating the farmers in eastern counties of the province, and aro now operating in IInron county and travelling to\'; aril Kent and Essex. Deceased was itt his ,list year. The manner itt which the Alas- ka Indians are being corrupted by the profligacy of miners and other whites in the Territories is a burning disgrace to American eivilizatiou. Mrs Voorhees, a New York lady who has returned from Sitka, says it is quite a com- mon thing for miners to purchase young Indian girls of twelve or thirteen from their parents, and to abandon the poor little things as soon es from disease they be- come unsuitable for pandering to their brutal teassions. It is not uneomMon for the children to---be- carried off by force. The revel- ations she makes 0,are horrible. Instant action by the Fedora/Gov.' ernment is called for unless the object is to destroy the Indians, soul and body: A Kansas City confectioner says that "it is safe to bet that I nobody can cat 50 cents worth of candy. I saw it tried the other day. Two young feliows ;came in, one of whom bet that he could do it. IIe started on what he thought were the most expensive candies, and missed it. The can- dies he selected were made prin- cipally for show. Ile went fr•orn NEWS NOTES. ' NEWS NOTES. I NEWS NOTES NEWS NOTES.

Tho truth contained in this famous assertion is well illus- trated by the failure of William Brown, a grocer of Collamer, 0., to commit•suieide on Sunday. He cut his throat and exploded three kegs of gunpowder in his store, He spoiled a razor, ruined his place of business, but failed to ao himself any aerious physical injury. Concerning the troubles be- tween Rev. Mr Jeffery and cer- tain members of his church and Trustees itt Toronto, the Mail says: "What tho upshot of the whole affair will bo no ono can say. Each side accuses the other of deliberate lying, and until the truth, and the whole truth, is told there will be discord in the 'Western Methodist Church.

The infant son of Mr. Foy, Wilton avenue, Toronto, died on Friday as a result of a lamentable accident. It appears that on Wednesday afternoon Mrs. Foy went upstairs to her bedroom, taking with her the child. - She laid the little one down and gave it, as she supposed, an empty per- fume bottle to play with. There was no cork in the bottle, and Mrs. Foy was not aware that it contained a number of:.,morphine pills. The child had scarcely got the bottle in its hand than it rais- ed it to its mouth and swallowed part of the contents. The child soon after became ill, but' the real cause of its ailment was not dis- covered until too late. The Canadian Pacific Railway has gained ti temporary victory over the people of Manitoba. It is announced from Winnipeg that work on the Portage link, intend- ed to give relief to the people from railway monoply, has been stopped, owing to inclement wea- ther. Perhaps it was this result that Van Horne was fighting for all the time. His object could have been defeated if the Domin- ion Government had not stood in with him and taken sides against the Province.

At the great dairy show held at Lon- don, England; his pupils carried off the first prize for the best ton of cheese ; second prize for the best four cheddar cheese, and the cup and medal for the best lot of cheese on exhibition. At the Kilmarnock show •of dairy pro- ducts, held on the 2Gth of October, his pupils won the first prize of £20 for the best cheese of any make, the first place in the sweep- stakes competition for the best cheese of any make, the first for the best ton of cheese exhibited, besides .a number of minor prizes.' Kilmarnock show is the largest of its kind in the world. "Dr", David Hostetter, •the bit- ters man, died in New York city the other day. IIe was a Penn- sylvanian °by birth, who went to California in '50, crossing the Isth- mus of Panama upon a mule and going thence to San Francisco in company with Commodore Garrison and Ralston, the fu'turc banker. He kept a grocery store in San Francisco for three months and was then burned out. In '53 he began the manufacture at rittsburg of his bitters front a formula supplied by his father, an educated physician, and,it is said, peddled his goods through the street in a wheelbarrow. He originated Pittsburg's natural gas enterprise,having in '75 taken the gas in rubber' bags to that eityifor analysis.

A. town in Alabama, in which the merchants were very much be- hind with their collections as well as payments, quarantined itself against the world in order to shut out collectors. In this way they got time to make collections there.. selves, and when a sufficient amount was collected to meet their own liabilities they raised the quarantine and allowed Mr "Grip -Sack" to come and get his share of the spoils. Italian physi(iansare again try ing the effect of color in the treat- ment of the insane. It was only a few years ago that the" blue light " tram was so much in vogue, but now everything must be red. An eminent physician of Italy cites the case of a person afflicted with melancholia who re- fused to eat anything. This pa- tient was placed in one of these red -rooms and the affect of the color was to make.him as cheerful as a sane person; end in three days he voluntarily asked for • every r_resal. A Pittsburgh physician is testing it in this country, but most insanity experts put little faith in the use of colors.

At Newmarket, on Thursday afternoon, a man named John Aikey, after• getting as drunk as the money he hadwould allow,deliber- ately mixed five grains of strychnine- in whiskey, drank some and died. Drink and continuous quarrels with his wife were the causes of his sui- cide. He had no children. He recti tly served a term in Barrie jail for some petty crime. Mr H. J. Drew, who left Osha- wa a few years ago for Dakota, has returned and purchased u farm near Harmony. His fanner, Mr Jos. Drew, a resident of the same locality, will return also iu the spring. They think Canada is good enough for them. A young man named Patrick Collins, while scouting at a pig - con match on Sleontan's flats; Guelph, on Thurstlay,had his right eye destroyed. He was using an old rifle which had been convert- ed into a breechloader. In the hurry to shoot a stray pigeon he did not properly shut the breech, and a portion of the charge struck him in the face. Mr D. S. Horning, lot 55, 2nd con., Ancaster,, planted two bush- els of potatoes last spring, and this autumn took from the field itt which the seed had been set no fewer than 52 bags. In addition a family of eight had taken their daily, supplies from early in the season till the final harvesting, a few days ago. Is not that a phenomenal yield ? Two years ago James Troke, '75 years old, a resident of'Letang, in Charlotte County, became mentally deranged, and threaten- ed to take his life rather than be a burden on his friends. IIe built a edfiiu for himself, took it into the woods some two miles from home, dug a grave and placed the coffin in- it. When found the coffin lid was raised, resting on a stick, with boughs and sods on top of it. The would-be suicide re- moved the coffin farther away. Three weeks ago he disappeared front home, arid when found the outer day his dead body was lying in a coffin, which was uncovered. Several phials, supposed to contaiues poison, Were found in the coffin. A special from Springfield, Mo., says :—A rumor reached this city 'this morning from Christian county, the home of the famous Bald Knob- ber king, Dave Walker, that five of the witnesses who testified against him' in his trial 'for murder have. been lynched by exisBald Knobbers. It is said the friurids of Walker waited until the Supreme Court had passed upon his case, and when -it was announced that the ex -chief must hang they wreaked vengeance on the five leading witnesses who brought him within the shadow of the gallows.
