I have thought of getting married When I've seen thee, May Jane, With thy dainty silks and satins, With thy petticoat and train; But a whisper came across me, Like a sign with omen rife. Ali 'tie very well to marry, But oh tanst thou keep a wife ?" If the last new bonnet suits thee, Guist though wear it still the same, Though a newer eattern tempt thee, Lastly handed down to fame?.

Jacques, at his stable on Atage street, found in a ban loft two small ceffirie containing the bodies of two infants. The dieeovery was reported, end Capt Ryan and Medical Examiner lirostoth proceeded to the etable. Both bodies were badly dasonsponed. It was learned that the bode a had been kept tWe years, and perheps more, as eeourity for the payment of bia hill, by E R. Iugalla, who WaS formerly engaged in business es an undertaker on Water street. Lately he has been engaged in the livery business. Hearing of the disoovery he went so the polies station and deseribed his con- • nection with the affair. He stated that the bodieu were those of still -born infants, which had been regularly given to him for burial, and that he had placed them in the cellar of his store waiting for the payment of his bill. A yeer ago, when he was foroed to leave his store, he moved hurriedly, and took these coffies and their contents to Jacques' stables, where had allowed them to remain There was some inseription on one of the coffins, and by it the police were directed to well•linown Bradford family, There it was found that a still -born child was given to Mr. Ingalls for burial three years ago, and a reoelpted bill wee shown dated in January, 1890, making it nearly three years that they had been allowed to remain un- buried. The members of the family were indignant, and took steps at once to have a burial of the remains. How long the other body has remained unburied nobody knows except Mr. Ingalls, and he does not care to say much about the ease. District Attorney Moody says there is no penalty for the offence, but the parents who gave the ohild to Ingalls for hurial,and hold o receipted bill therefor, can sue him for breach of contract. HENRY JOHNSON'S LONG FAST. He Was Locked in a Fireless Box c ar Five Long Bare A Coney Island despatch says: Conduce. tor James O'Neil, of Culver's Coney Island Railroad, last evening heard a noise inside a box ear loaded with luinber. When the car was unlocked a colored man was found lying on the lumber in an seninconscious condition. He was taken out and revived on receiving stimulants. When able to speak be said his name was HenryJohnson, 35 years of age and a native of Troy. He said he had been locked in the car five days and nights, during whioh time he had nothing to eat or drink. He crawled into the car at Buffalo on Monday bast and the door was looked before he realized it. After the train started toward New York Johnson had hopes that the oar door would be opened, when he woald have a chance to escape. Twelve hours passed, and, although the train stopped a number of times, the car door was not opened. After Johnson hed passed 24 hours in the oar he became hungry and numb from the cold. Some time later he pounded and kicked on the door, but 00 000 apparently heard him. At certain points on the road the train was side-tracked and stood dill for a time, which seemed like hours. He slept much of the time, and when he awoke he was weaker. He suffered greatly from hunger and thirat, and to -day he had about given up hope of escaping from the car alive. He was overjoyed when he heard the voioes of the conductor and other trainmen, who pro- ceeded to unlook the oar. Ilave You Ever Noticed.

TUE FUNCTION OF WM' ISONfilin, Regular Pielietoreste or the Body Guard. otg Against Disease. Many a mother who has found in thr tonsils of her children the seat of frequent trouble has woucleeed for what purpost thee° sacs of seewitive blood veesels are an - eluded in the atiatomy of the throat Late reseerohee by Dr. Lovell Gaillard have de. veloped some interesting facts about them, which ought to change opjuion from skeptical curiosity to grateful Weleeime. The tonsils are, it seems, glands in which the white Wood corpueclea are developed. Now the white blood corpuscles are the natural enemy of malignant rnierobee auk becterie, attacking them wherever encountered and always coming olf vic- torious. It will he seen, therefore, that a workshop for the manufacture of white corpuscles is a valuable plait, and its location just at the junction of the mouth and nasal Passage' two sources of disease -germ supply, is only another evidence of the admirable econonlY of nature. While the larger portion of the white corpuscles created by the tonpils pass right on into circulation, patrolling and protect- ing the eatire blood system, many more re- main on the tonsil surfaces to °etch the iosidious bacillus at the very threshold as he has stolen through the mouth or slipped in by way of the nostrils. By the time the invading germ has permed the tonal' quarau tine it is itarmless and thus, equally with the blood, are the throat, stomach and lungs protected. Too much respect can bardly be shown to the long misjudged but now well proved efficient tonsils.—Neu, York Times. Baby's Diary for One Day. Waked up as usual at 3 o'ciock in the morning, and cried until everbody else in the house was awakened. Then I went to sleep again. Was aroused once more at 6 o'clock by a fly dancing on my face. I tried to hit him, and only succeeded in slapping myself so hard that I had to scream. I screamed until evreybody decided to dress, and when they were ready for breakfast, half an hour before breakfast was ready for them, I fell Weep. My breakfast was served at 8 o'clock. I dont think the cook can be much good, for I never had anything but milk for break- fast, dinner or any other meal since I can remember. After breakfast I saw my big brother playing with a jumping jack. As I wanted it myself I cried until nurse made brother gave it up. Then brother began to cry, and because I was sorry for him I cried too. Had lunch at 10 o'clock (same as break- fast). Went out riding afterwards in my carriage, and cried all the way home because nurse wouldn't let me have a nice big black doggie to carry. Be was a lovely doggie, and when I screamed he lytrked, so I screamed real bard lots of times. It was great fun. Got so tired screaming that I went to sleep. At 12 o'clock waked and had dinner (same as breakfaat and lunch). Mamma played on the piano and sang to me. When I tried to sing she laughed, and as I don't like to be laughed at I cried. Nurse said I was a cry-baby, and cried all the time at everything, but I don't agree with her. I never ory now at meal times, became I tried it once and found I couldn't eat and cry at the same time, so gave it up. I have all nighb to cry in if I want to, and I can't ee.t then. Had lots of fun. Pulled nurse's hair, then pulled mamma's hair. It wasn't so much fun when I tried to pull brother's hair'for he' slapped my hands. I didn't like that, so I cried. Then brother laughed, and I cried harder, and then brother was sent away. 1 oried harder than ever at this, for I wanted to play with brother. Had supper at 3 o'clock (same as break- fast, lunch and dinner). Got mad and dropped the bottle, and cried because I couldn't have any more supper,as the bottle was broken. I have discovered that bottles break. Hooray Tried to tell nurse abmit my discovery, and nurse said, "Poor' ittle sing." Imasn't a 'sing," I'm not "'ittle," because there's no such word, and I will never be "poor," so I cried. From 4 until 51 made a new record. I generally ory at 4.30 every day, but to -day I didn't. I was asleep. • At 5.30 I had my last meal of the day, a new bottle having been procured. I don't know the name of thia meal, but it doeen't make any differenoe, for it was the same as breakfast lunch, diuner and supper. I went to bed at 6 o'clock. • .0 9 o'clock I waked up, and hearing company down.stairs cried for some com- pany myself. Mamma came up for me. Went to sleep. Didn't wake up any more that night after I went to sleep the last time until the next morning.--Harper's Young People. What is a Wife ?

Mr. Pattison read a paper on "Fruit Farming on Clay Soil." His experience was that olay, and especially red clay, was capable of producing apples very profitably. On the apple question Mr. Allan'of Goderioh, declared that among the best that should be grown all over the province for the market was the Duchess of Olden- burg. That was an apple that will ship to Britain, and if well shipped will find a good figure. The Graven - stein was another good kind, although it was not suitable to all the sections of the country. He would like to see the St Lawrence grown pretty well all over. If they could get it clean it was a profit- able apple, and would bring a good price in England. The Ribston pippin was a good apple and would fetch a good price in the British market. The Maiden's Blush was a good apple, but John Bull was looking for a quality of a superior character and they were not finding the prices they used to do. The Blenhemes had a place along with the Ribston pippin. It was a good bearer, and with a medium orop it should stand near the top of the market, especially if honestly put up. The King of Tompkins and the Baldwin had made more money than any other apple, but it had not the British qua/Hy and would probably go down in price. The Ontario and the ,Spy were good. The Ontario was a new variety, and had not been tested. It would sell in the British market for a Spy, but it was not as good an apple as the Spy. The Englishmen wanted good value for his penny. He wanted a good mouth- ful. He had given the names of these apples in proportion as they same on the British market. The Cranberry pippin was a !good apple, better quality than the Bald - The Spy takes so long to come into bearing, and when they do bear, there are so few clear of blemish that there isnot muchmoneyin them. ThePallowWaterwas not a good bearer and had not machquality. There is more money in American Golden russets than any other russet, but there is not so much demand for them. Sweet apples are not in great demand. Mr. A. M. Smibh read a paper on the "Necessity of &Fruit Experimental Farm."

The question in the headline is often asked, and not infrequently by eoholarly people too. By way of a general answer to all such questions I would say that the beet authorities have come to thia conclusion: That rocks de not grow in the sense that plants do. They" may increase hi size by means of accretions, and they may a,leo undergo other changes. Old sea beds lifted up and exposed for ages become stratified beds of sandstone or limestone ; • voloanio ashes and lava strewn over hill" and plains become tufa hard enough for building atone, and the pebbly shores of rivers and smaller streams may sometimes change into conglomerates. The simple mineral, however, does grow, especially when it takes upon itself the form of a crystal. A sparkling prism of quartz in- creases from an atom to a monster crystal • of varying length and size by what geolo- • gists know as a " process of addition and assimilation." This process is wonderfully dew, but with a, mathematical exactnes that is a snprise to peraona even "*ell np" in the science of geology. In one sense donee grow, in another they do nob. The crystal may become longer and longer, but the boulder on the roadside will not in- crease a hair's breadth in length or width in the next 10,000 years.—Se. Louts Republican.
