Tam QX a 7ioNEEu,
Have you ever met the old man
Corning down the lane?
His form bent with the toils of years,
But free from every kain ?
They sometimes call htm 'gnviner,'
And sometimes call him 'clad,'
And ittt a pretty long time ago
Since he was but a lad.
Ile came into the settlement
'Way back in fifty three,
Before a man had cone there,
Or cut a single tree.
The only neighbors that he had
Were wolves and prowling bears,
Tha,t in his stook of calves and. lambs
Quite willingly took shares.
But the lonely hours soon pass'd away
While nature sang her hymn;
The robin brought his voice along,
And hopped from limb to limb ,
The shanty smiled in broad, full day,
The clearance grew, quite wide,
And the farm that once was but a field,
Now stretched frem; side to side.
And so the 'settlement' grew up
In loving toil and ore,
I
Stared with bright '39 ds of kindness
As generous as the ir.
For hearts and hands were then as one
As generous and as free
As the gift of morn's bright florid of light,
Or sliade of maple tree.
.4.nd here is where the strength lies,
In this oar happy land,
'Twas builded by the .grace of toil,
By strong and patriot hand.
And if a for should e'er beset
Or 'preach our altars near,
We'll charge with all the spirit
Of the old pioneer.
Then Goa bless the old man
Coming down the lane,
His form, though bent with toil and care,
Is free from every pain;
He looks across his acres
With their glory and their grain,
While his heart has dreams of heaven
As he comes down the lane.

It was a double house, with a, hall
and a stairway exactly in the centre,
and rooms upon either side. Mrs.
Samson, when she rented it, enthusi-
astically declared it must have been
built for a boarding house, so admir-
ably did it suit that parpose,although-
the millionaire who did build it
would have ,groaned in horror at the
suggestion.
Bat a bearding house it was, and
a well-conducted, comfortable one,
when I, Henry Bell, engaged a
room on the third floor, and brought
my belongings there. I\Tow 1 was
fully aware that the creme de la creme
of Mrs. Samson's :boarders did. not
live above the seeoud floor, and only
what she called 'clerks, you know,
and people who cannot pay a large
board,' dwelt upon the third. and
fourth floors. So I let her think
what she pleased about my income,
acceded. to her demand. for a 'week
always in advance,' and said I was a
medical student,' although I had
graduated three years before.
'Did you get in, old fellow'?'
Steve Harlan asked me the next
time we met.
'1 did.'
-'Next room ?'
'Engaged! Mine is across the hall.'
? Who is she ?'
'Companion to an ancient party on
-the next floor below. Maid. has a
*•,`' room next the mistress. Companion

we sit opposite each other at the
table. The ancient party glares at
inc as if I owed her something.
Perhaps she thinks want to feel her
pulse. She is a corpulent individual,
red. in the face, and eats like a
rhinoeeros. The companion looks
prettier than ever beside here !'
'Got any names?'
'Yes. Ancient party is Mrs.
Carter; companion is Elsie Lennox.'
Then Steve whistled with so much
significance that I cried, with con-
viction:
'You know her?'
'1 should rather think I did ! Her
father failed two years ago, and like
Lewis °arras baker, he suddenly
and. softly vanished away from his
creditors, leaving Elsie with her
aunt. Mrs. Carter is a distant
relative—cousin or something. Why
three years ago Elsie Lennox was
the belle of the season.'
I did not know .whether I was glad
.or sorry to hear all this. I had seen
Elsie Lennox in the street, had seen
her enter Mrs. Samson's several
times, and. her exquisite face and
graceful figure had. won so much
warm admiration that I longed. to
know her, to speak to her, hoping,
perhaps, to win from her some
tmswering interest and. liking,

I had accepted, almost mechanically,
the help of Elate Lennox's ready

sharply in the s*ess of danger, and
thinking nothing of the girl I had
learned to love, :until, the danger
over, the case taken in hand by Mrs.

'Drink this !' I said, mixing a

Elsie said, presently, in a tone of
apology. 'I thought she was dying.'
'She was dangerously near it,'I
said, 'and you had .';the right to be

IN EAST matow,
We spent our holiday week in
East Huron, chiefly in Bluevale,
whieli is situated in the southern
part of Turnberry Tp., 4 miles from
Wingham and 9 miles from Brussels.
Bluevale, though much older than
Wingliara, has been badly left be-
hind in the race with its younger
rival, the population of the former
being about 300, the latter about ten
time as great, The ebief industry
in Bluevale, outside of those common
to every village, is cheese -making,
the factory in that village making
to -day thehighest-priced cheese in
the Canadian market. The highest
make bas been 140 tons per annum.,
but last year owing to the deficiency
in pasturage, the output dropped to
103 tons. This year the joint stock
company which manages the factory
is receiving; the milk of 1,200 cows,
and the June make of cheese- was
sold by the company's sellar, Mr.
Messer, a shrewd merchant cf Blue -
vale, for 8c, which is I of a cent
more per pound than that received
by other Canadian factories. Blue -
vale cheese has more than a Domin-
ion reputation, its fame has reach-
ed the British market. From a
denominational standpoint, the peo-
ple of Bluevale and vicinity are al-
most entirely Methodist and Presby-
terian. Rev. Mr. Moss is patter of
the former church, Rev. Mr. Hartley
of the latter. The hay crop in the
townships of Turnberry, Grey and
Morris is light, but oats and peas are
excellent. In the townships of
Wallace and. Howick there have
been good showers throughout the
Summer and the pasture fields ap-
pear quite green. During a short
stay in Wingham we met Rev. Mr.
Perrie, a former pastor of Geneva
church, Ohesley. He .had just ar-
rived back from Scotland, 'and both
he and Mrs. Perrie were in perfect
health. When we asked him about
his severe sickness in Scotland, he
informed us that there was no truth
in the report that he was sick, and
was surprised that such a false re-
port had gone abroad. We also
made the acquaintance of Dr.
Macdonald,. the pcipular Liberal M.
P. for East Huron. The Dr. is an
able parliamentarian and is in-
vincible in his Riding. He is one
of the noble 13 who stood out against
the Jesuit Estates grant and, as
might be expected, he takes a very
strong stand against enforcing the
Remedial Order. He is a capital
speaker and is almost sure of re-
election by an increased majority.
Wingham is an important manu-
facturing .centre, and the Union
Furniture Co. which was burnt
down a few months ago, has
been granted an extension of time
for re -payment .Of a $10,000 loan,
given about 6. years ago. The Co.
will begin building operations again.
Wingham possesses the advantage of
having two coMpeting• lines of R.
R., the G. T. R. and C. P. R. The
June detivery of cheese was teamed
from Bluevale to Wingham because
better rates were obtained on the 0.

train to. Brussels, stayed a few hours
and made ourselves perfectly at

newspaper. The Editor and pro-
prietor of The Post is W. H. Kerr,
who has made it one of the best local
papers in Western Ontario. He bas
been Reeve of the town for four
years. Brussels contains about 1,200
inhabitants, and while • considerably
smaller than Ohesley, we must ad-
mit that the main street contains
better brick blocks than Chestley.
Last March the public school in that
village was burned down, and as we

TW ilAr Or CIO About the W. C. T. U.
By Frances E. Willard, LL.
President of the 'World's Woman's
Christian Temperance Union.—We
have set at work to dissect out the
alcohol nerve from the anatomy of ;
k the body politic, and wherever the
k scalpel takes us we will go, The ;
"Pg intention has given rise to what is ;
galled. the 'ideevery thing !
which involves the same word of I
command that became famous at the,:
battle of the Boyne : "When you seel
a head hit it."
The drink habit is intrenehed in
the customs of society; away we go
after it with the teetotal pledge, alike
for guest and hostess. It is fortressed
in the ignorance of the people; away
after it, then, into the public, school,
the Sunday school, the pulpit, and
the press. It is intrenched in law ;
away after it, then, into the munici-
pal council room, the legislature, and
congress. It is bulwarked by the
power of polities ; away after it,
then, to the caucus, the hustings, and
the polling -booth. This is the modus
operandi of the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union.
The World's W. C. T. U., recently
met in London, Eng., was obliged to
choose a successor to the treasurer-
ship made vacant by the death of
Mrs. Williams, of Montreal. The
choice agoin fell upon a Canadian,
who was not able to attend the great

ley, of London, President of the ()A-
tari() C. T. U., and one of the
