Mr. Editor.—THE Poem said a short
time ago :—
"The Oranbrook girl gate a grip on
herself,
And oarefally takes of her bat,
Then grabs the man in a frenzied way,
Like a terrier shakes a rat."
I beg leave to differ with that opinion and
say so as follows
Tell me not in boastful measures,
Brussels is the fieldlie t
o bliss,
Killing pare, enhancing pleasure,
Surely something ie amiss,
Cranbrook girls, with pretty faces,
Deaden all your atilt Control, •
The blood—it through your system
races ;
Tu embrace one, is life's highest goal.
When it comes, tree we do the kissing,
Not the girls as you imply,
The impression of doge and rats is
missing,
It's Paradiee below the sky.
Cease,it then, your useless boasting,
Though your head be in a whirl,
Next time you take to public toasting,
Give it to the Cranbrook girl.

A Sunshine subscriber writes :—Rey.
John Holmes, of Brussels, preached to an
appreciative congregation here on the

The fine wording and forcible style of

of no mean talent. In the -evening Rev.
Mr. Penhall, of Blyth, conducted the ser-
vice. Bis text was "God be merciful to
me a eianer" on whioh 1,e delivered a
sermon in a very able manner, showing
the difference in an earnest cry for mercy
and that of the self.righteoae not forsak-
ing their eine. It was both interesting

OBIT.— Chas. Wheeler, who passed
away an the 5th inst., in his 82nd year,
was born and married in Doreetohire,
England, and oame to this country in
1846, locating in Teonmseh township
where he spent 18 years. In 1884 he
moved, with hie family, to this township
where he bought 900 sores of land on the
4th line and where he and hie eons have
continued to reside. Mr. Wheeler was a
blaokemith by trade and for years kept a
Mop on the Corner of bin farm. He was.
an nnnsnally vigorous man and hardly
knew a day's eickness until dropsy and
heart failure set in some four months
ago. Deceased was a Presbyterian in
oborob relationship and a staunch
Liberal in;politioe. He was a man of in-
dastry, integrity and courage and while
not desiring honors at the hands of his
fellowmen enjoyed the highest esteem of
all who knew him. In the year 1845 the
eubjeot of this notice took Mise Caroline
Lawrence to share hie joys and sorrows
and together they fought life's battles
heroically for 56 years until the oall
name to husband and father, Mre.
Wheeler is nearly 84 years of age and
has been rather poorly for the last couple
of weeks bat we hope oho will aeon re-
gain her usual health. Five eons (Chas.,
