Theu's my time. No fuse or rush, Jest a steady, patient push— And the stiffened fibre slacks, And the stubborn threads relax, And Friend Needle darts along, Singing his triumphant song.

And roaches are righteously jealous Of "a" in that cute little "flea." I've thought and I've Lhuuk till I'm crazy, And wondered what they were about, Pronouncing that "route" in a manner Pa if 'twere defeat and a "rout." And whet is that little "b" doing In a dubious wordlet like "doubt" 7 I've sat up bill two in the mo wing, Ofttimes, before going to bed, To find out what business "a—i" had In a simple young wnrdleb like "said." You "read" ; when the volatile is fin- ished You then say the book you have "red," Yon visit your tailor and tell him To measure your form for a "suit" ; Bub you never oould write to your shoe - man To send you a new style of "bait," And if you spelled "water" like "dough. ter" They'd call you a orazy galoob. There aro "dying" and "sighing" and "guying," And "loavenous" and "treacherous" and "beigh," A "sweet suite of rooms" and a "valet," "0.

The neighbors had a wake on the body on Saturday. During the wake the old woman caused a panto by coming to life. She is now as well as ever. At Osgoode Hall, Toronto, on Tuesday Miss Clara B. Martin was called to the bar, becoming the pioneer lady lawyer of Canada. At A the same time John Laing, the ori t r aka a was called to the bar,and as they stood ❑p together, a visitor from Winnipeg wondered when judges began to perform marriage licenses. Coal gas has claimed two more victims in Toronto. Wm. Herford and his wife, whose residence is at 265 Broadview aventro, were found dead in their room. Death had evidently resulted from as- phyxiation, the strong smell of coal gas making it difficult for anyone to approach the room where the stove was. A dog was also found in the house, which had died from the same cause. A meeting of the creditors of Halliday ds Co., general store keepers, of Chesley, was bald last week. The statement sub- mitted by the firm showed liabilities of 610,000, and their offer of a settlement on the basis of 70 cents on the dollar to eeoured oreditors and 50 cents on the dollar to unsecured, was accepted. Three weeks ago, ata similar meeting, the firm offered to settle with their oreditors for 70 tents on the dollar. Mrs. Halliday will continuo the business. Miss Clara Humbly, of Luoknow, who went to Kincardine to spend a few days with her friend, Miss Sadie Brown, died Sunday evening of lamb week at Mr. Brown's redidenee. Miss Hambly was an expert and enthusiastic skater, and spent an hour or two at the rink in the evening in the enjoyment of her favorite pastime, afterwards going home with her friend. She retired m apparently good health, but awakened- during the eight suffering great pain, which continued all day, with the above result. Her death is attributed to parloration of the stomach. A RnaiAmcAoo,a FAonLY Rzconn.—The late Moses Shantz, who died near Berlin a few days ago, was born in 1819. Jacob 0. Snider, of Waterloo, survive° him, as also his familyoi six sons and six dough. tors, all of whom reside in Waterloo ex. (opt one. The sons are :—Tilman S. Shantz, ex•Reeve of Township ; Aaron, Franklin, Amos, and Allen, all owners of beautiful farms in close proximity to their father's old homestead, and Mento S. Shantz, 'busman, Berlin. The daugh- ters aro Mrs. Franklin Shuh, Mrs. Henry B. Pby, of Berlin ; Mrs. David Hoffer, of Floradalu ; Mrs. Benj. Horst, of Berlin ; Mrs. Henry Groff, Iowa, and Emma, who is at home with her mother. The num- ber of grandchildren born to Mr. Shantz is 86, and something rather extraordinary that of snob a large family of children end grandchildren -48 in all—not a single death has ocaurred, the father be- ing the first. Pisan IN.—An accident occurred on the G. T. R. at St. Paul's, between Stratford and St. Mary's, at 7:80 Wednesday morning, which resulted in the destruct. ion of a van and three oars and consider. able damage to an engine. A way freight was standing on the main line when a through freight from Stratford pitched into it. The engine of the through freight was badly wrecked, and the van and three of the oars of the way freight were destroyed. It is imrposaible to say who is responsible. The station agent says the signals were np against the through freight, and it should not have Dome in. Fortunately no one was injured. The amount of damage would have been vary little, only the stove in the van was overturned, and started a fire. No freight was destroyed, the oars which were burned being empty. The through freight wee coming down a steep grade as it approached the other train, aid the rails being wet, it was doubtless impossible to control the train. There were really no close calls for life, as all parties had plenty of time to jump. THE POWER OF THE PRESS A statielioian hart learned thatlthe an nual aggregate of the circulation of tb papers of the world is eetimated to b 12,000,000,000 eopies. To grasp the ide of this magnitude we may state that i would oovor no fewer than 10,450 agnnr miles of surface ; that it is printed e 781,250 tone of paper, and further, that 1 the number (12,000,000,000) represente instead of copies, seconds, it would tak over 888 years for them to elapse, I lieu of this arrangement, we might pees and pile them vertically upward t gradually roaoh our highest mountains Topping all these, and even the highee Alps, the pile would remelt the magnili Dent altitude of 400 or in round numbers 500 miles. Calonlating that the averag man spende five minutes reading his paper in the day (this is it very low esti mate), we find that the people of the world altogether annually 00(npy time equivalent to 100,000 years reading the papers. The Latest Chatter. 0 The lightest t heat known wood is that of g the Anona palustris, of Brazil, which is Hauch lighter than cork. The heaviest is the iron bark, of Australia, which weighs nearly 100 pounds to the cubic foot. IE we boll a pound of water until it all goes away in steam we shall have used, in doing so, a quantity of heat which would have raised 907 pounds of water one degree higher in temperature. A seaweed of the South Paoilio often grows to be 30 or 40 inches in diameter, and 1600 to 2000 feet in length. It bas no root io the proper sense, the nourish. meat being absorbed from the water. The water of the River 'Tinto, in Spain, hardens and petrifies the sand of its bed, and if a stone falls in the stream and alights upon another, in a few months they unite and become one stone. Fish cannot live in its waters. Floating beds of seaweed, wbioh are often met with in mid.ocean, have been observed to reduce the height of waves, lilte oil thrown upon the water. Taking advantage of this fact, a scientist has in. vented a thio cotton or silken net to an. ewer the same purpose. laecetcsr.

Barnes, of this place, is dead. Mrs. Barnes had retired in fairly good health Saturday night, and Sunday morning, when a member of the family went to awaken her, it was found she had passed quietly salad peacefully away in her sleep. She was one of the oldest residents of Harwich, and was noted for the kindness of her nature. She leaves, besides her two sons, five daughters, Mrs. Shaw and Miss Barnes, who resides at the homestead, Ridge road, mud three daughters in Cinoinnati.. Vo rellwich. ,Alex. Orr had a gang of men at work hrvesting ice for the coming hot weath- er. The oboir of the Preebyterian oburoh took a sleigh -ride to themselves on Mon- day afternoon of last tveelt. The annual meeting of Trinity Church S. 8. was held on Tuesday evening of last week in the oburoh. The reports of the officers were received, showing an in- creased average attendance for the past year and more of a surplus on band. The following officers were elected :—Supt., J. Donaghy ; Aset.•Supt., Wm. Watters ; Sea.-Treae„ J. Scott ; Librariau, Isaac Gamble. The Methodist churolr was coiled with V lumbar, and on neeounf of original cracks, and shrinkage after being put on, the beet escaped rendering it difficult to warm it. Tho difficulty was overcome by patting tar teepee over the old ceiling and potting on the same kind of lumber again which has proved satisfactory. The Dost incurred, including some other small im- provemeute, amounted to about 1179.00. As a gang of men were hewing ties in Ooseu'e swamp in Minto, Hobert Hain• stools, the hewer, received a very ugly out just above the knee whites will lay him up for a couple of weeks. Ile was stand- ing a short distance from the stick on which the men were wonting when Jess Mosure's ase glanced, the corner of it striking him and inflicting an ugly gash about three inches long and as deep as the bone. It was bound up and he was taken at once to his home in Wroxeter, Ata the business meeting of the Metho- dist oh(rch on Monday, a resolution was passed expressing thanks to the pastor for services rendered during the past two years (nearly) and extending to him a very cordial invitation to remain the third year. The resolution was carried by a unanitnoue vote. The Rev. Mr. Oosens in a brief reply thanked the meet. fug for the expression of confidence given, and said he would oomply with their Wishes unless something over which he had no control removed him away, Samuel Duckworth, a farmer living near Grand Valley, was fined 8100 and one month in gaol by Police Magistrate Pabtullo for having in his posee5010n an illioit still, McLEOD' S ystem nonovator —AND o2Dan— TESTED Ii'EMED 1 ES SPECIFIC AND ANTIDOTE For Impure, Weak and Impoverished Blood,Dyepepele, Sleeplessness, ?alpha. tiou of the Heart, Liver Complaint, Neur. algia, Loss of Memory, Bronchitis, Oen- Gumption, Gall Stones, Jaundioo, Kidney and Urinary Diseases, St, Vitus' Dance, Female Irregularities and General 'De. bflity.

"Several years ago, while in Fort Snelling, Minn., I caught a severe cold, attended with a terrible cough, that allowed me no rest day or night. The doctors after exhaust- ing their remedies, pronounced my case hopeless, say- ing they could do no more for me. At this time a bottle of AYER'S Cherry Pectoral was sent to me by a friend who urged me to take it, which I did, and soon after I was greatly relieved, and in a short time was completely cured.
