WALMSLEY'S Illone 12 X The Curfew Shall Not Ring To.Night. .England's sun was slowly sc tting o'er the hills so far away, Filling all the land with beauty at the close of one sad day, And the last rays kissed the forehead of a man and maiden fair; He with step so slow and weakened she with sunny, floating hair; He with bowed head, sad and thought. ful ehe with lips so cold and white Struggling to keep back the murmur, • "Curfew shall not ring tonight." "Sexton," Bessie's white lips faltered, pointing to the prison old, With its walls so dark and gloomy, walls so damp and cold, "I've a lover in that prison, doomed this very night to die At the ringing of the curfew, and no earthly help is nigh. Cromwell will not come till sunset," and her face grew strangely white As she spoke in husky whisper, "Cur- few shall not ring tonight." "Bessie" calmly spoke the sexton -- every word pierced her young heart Like a thousand gleaming arrows, like a deadly poisoned dart; "Long, long years I've rung the curfew from the gloomy shadowed tow- er; livery evening just at sunset it has tolled the evening hour. I have done my duty ever, tried to do it just and right; Now I'm old I will not miss it; girl the curfew rings to -night." Wild her eyes and pale her features, stern and white her thoughtful brow, And within her heart's deep centre Bessie made a solemn vow, She had listened while the judges read, without a tear or sigh, "At the ringing of the curfew—Baeil Underwood must die," And her breath came fast and faster and her eyes grew large and bright; One low murmur, scarcely spoken, "Curfew must not ring to -night,' (Remaining verses will be published next week 1 2I 1,0009 1REWARD '� For information that will lead tc the discovery or whereabouts of e person or persons suffering fror,, Nervous Debility, Diseases of thc Mouth and Throat, Blood Poison; Skin Diseases, Dladdcr Troubles, Special Ailtnents, and Chronic oz 1. n P , Complicated Complaints who can not be cured at The Ontario T,iedi calInstitute, 2 3 2G" >:onf•e St., I e G �, r ., Toronto AI Corresporide_e invited CEI V:I G A ADV ANO r RAILWAYS TO AVOID LAST YEAR'S MISTAKE Rates to the Canadian National Will Extend over the Fell Two Werke Period, A yearr ago all over the Province there was teat disappointment t amort g the people coming to the Exhibition the last couple of days to learn that the rates on the railroads had expired, It was too late then to have the "mat. ter rectified, but the Exhibition man- agement took the matter up with the railroads: and found that there bad been a mistake in the circular sent out to the agents, the result being that on the eloping days people goleg to To- ronto bad to pay full fare, This year the matter was attended to early and the Exhibition has the assurance that there will be no repitition of last year's trouble.
