The songs of childhood and school
days linger in the memory as if loath
to depart. One of these songs of tender
days and pleasant memories had a prac-
tical aim in view. It indicated:—
If
ndicated:If there's good that you can do, do it, do it,
Ifa good word you can say, say it, say it, &c.
Now, Mr. Editor, good words are worth
much and cost little—a mere emanation
of the breath, and yet they produce a
pleasant flavor, fragrant as the perfume
of roses and happy will your correspon-
dent be if his words at this time carry
a sweet smelling savor of bright flow-
ers, and the incense begotten of gentle
charity. To come to the point, the peo-
ple of Ebenezer seem to require an ex-
pression of their feelings and senti-
ments, on the occasion of their much
respected pastor, Rev, J. G. Yelland,
leaving them for his new appointment
at Ethel. His sojourn among them has
been of the most felicitous nature, and
has left on memory's wall many, many
pictures of the solicitude of this minis-
ter of Christ, caring for his flock, ” that
they also as lively stones are built up a
spiritual house, an holy rrieathood, to
offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable
to God by Jesus Christ." In season,
and out of season, this indefatigable
preacher of righteousness was always
ready, always willing to solace the ears
of afflicted ones with words of encour-
agement, sweetened•with hope, blessed
by faith, and sanctified with charity.
Not one of his predecessors was more
successful in bringing out the best fea-
tures of the Ebenezer people. They
are a peculiar people and he evinced a
peculiarly happy tact in catching on to
their peculiarities and produced
a sea-
son of uninterrupted peace, praise and
prosperity. They feel that the yery
least that they can do is to express
their heartfelt thanks to him for his
kind labors and ministrations, that he
may rest assured he was not unappre-
ciated, Dear pastor you were appreciat-
ed. Let not your heart be troubled.
Your manly stand and straight defence
of temperance, legislation, prohibition,
Christian principles, law, order and jus:
tice, has borne fruit. While life • lasts
you will never be forgotton by us and
please carry away with you that infin
its satisfaction any preacher, can enjoy,
that there is not the slightest doubt—
none whatever—that if we never meet
again on this side of the grave, we will
meet you in Heaven, "God having pro-
vided this better thing for us," '• God
be with you till we meet again."

The eitizeus of Mensal' never do any-

and their friends. On all sides expres•
diens of satisfaction and appruvai were
t(t be heard The progressive silfage
g was in holiday dress. Maguificeut
1 arch's of es.ergreen, some fifteen in
t number. erected on the p incipalstreete
of the village, the gaily decorated stores,
the liberal and unstinted display of
bunting and national beepers and the
closing of all places of business, bespoke
for the Orangemen a splendid welcome
and a reception hat will not soon lee
forgotten. Nothing was left undone
by the local brethren, to make the day
a sueeess, and too touch credit ean.not
be accorded thein. The accowteda
tion was ample. There was enough
and more than enough 10 eat, though
fear had been expressed that in this
partieular the village would have, dint -
melee in providing for so large,sa crowd.
i Tho procession formed at ;teal: p m., in

flying banners, presented a most attrac-

grove were of a most interesting and
eujoyable character. The Methodist

selections which were highly appreciat.

applauded. Speeches
were delivered by the local clergy* and
the Rev..Hodgius, of Seaford' and Rev.
Wm. McDonagh, of Stratford, The

old man," He is no splitter of hairs and
no compromiser of facts. When the
speeches were finished the meeting dis-

Where is the man who years ago
Was oyerheard to say,
It's dying out, it's sure to go,

He's dead poor fellow and forgot,
So lea, him rest in peace,

But from year to year increase.
In efceryears when all the world,

With beating drums and flags Unfurled,
Immo:taiised we'll be.

NOTES.
County Master Scarlett can be de-
pended on for perfect organizatiou and
no hitches in the program.
Hensall citizens neglected nothing,'.
not even the watering of the. streets.
The Centralia band captured the $6
prize in the fife and drum band contest.
A more respectable, decent, well con
ducted and gentlemanly crowd never
yisited the village of Hensall.
Hensall has established for herself a
place on the list for Orange celebra-
tions.
As the procession passed along Main
Street Brother McArthur, of McArthur
& Co., bankers, secured some nice soap
shots with his kodac. Mc, is a most en•
thusiastic worker in the order.
Clinton: The other day a man tra-
velling lost his watch and chain and
raised a storm in the belief that he had
been robbed on the train; a search for
the missing article showed that in
crushing past a young lady the watch
chain had caught on the button ot her
cape,pulling pul g the watch and chain from
the gentleman's pocket, and hung sus-
pended to her cape; after its restora-
tion he was not man enough to apolo
gise to the conductor for the language
he had used.
Seaforth: Mrs. M. Robertson, of this
town, received a letter from her sons in
Dakota, on Thursday, couveying the
sad intelligence of the death of Mrs,
John Robertson. Mrs. Robertson, it
seems, died on Saturday last of cancer.
She left here about two months ago, to
join her husband in Grand Rapids, Da-
kota. He had been there for a year
previously, and had prepared a home
for his wife and family. Mrs. Robert-
son's maiden name was Mary McPhee.
She was about 35 years of age, and
heaves a family of three small children.
When she left here she seemed to be in
the enjoyment of the best of health.
