One evening tills week a young imam and maiden not far from our town thought they'd enjoy a sail on a raft and all wee lovely for some time. The even- ing was beautiful the scenery on the creek most picturesque ; the zephyrs gently stirred the waters which reflected the faces of two mortals gloriously radi- ant with happiness and mirth. But alas —the voice of comedy and tragedy must finish the tale. The raft was small ; the oar clumsy ; the maiden nervous in her glee. A power draws the boat towards the bridge, it reaches it. Smiles and boat vanish and when the horrified eyes dare look again nothing is seen but two bird -like creatures clinging for dear life to the shaky plank endo of a culvert. After secretly vowing to escape or taste the cold waters together, by a supreme effort they rescue themselves and were hence wiser but not sadder people. "All's well that ends well."

If that is a fact some- one has been marking out the original figures and we have bad Mr. Barr at that game already, Now the facts oro diesel— For the year 1898 Mr. Barr charged the patrons of the Ethel cheese factory ten cents per box for cheese boxes and the enaleboards, nails and some other items, in fast all the supplies he bought were charged separately from the boxes as the statemeub, a copy of which appeared in Tnn Pose in my last letter, shows.

PEnsoaar..—The April number of the Christian Standard, published at Oinain- nati, gives the portrait of Rev. Andrew Scott, of Saginaw, Miob., eon of Adam Scott, 4th line, and the following interest. ing historical sketch :—Andrew Soott, the subject of this sketch, was born in Melrose, Roxborough County, Scotland, on Feb. 1311), 1857. When seven years of ago he came to Canada with his parents, who settled in the Province of Ontario. At the age of 21 he was baptized into Christ by Bro. E. Sheppard, at Lobo, Ont., having travelled GO miles for the purpose of obeying Christ in baptism ; and less than ten weeks afterward he preached his first sermon at that place. He entered Hiram College, where he com- pleted liie course in June, 1881. His first pastoral work was se Portage La Prairie, Province of Manitoba, where he was sent by the Christian women of Ontario to plant the primitive gospel in the Canadi- an Northwest. His labors al this place were nob without discouragements, but with,a determination to suoaeed, whioh is one of his characteristics, he proceeded to overcome every difficulty. D :fag the iirat year of his pastorate, a Louse of worship was erected, and at the close of the sewed year they numbered about 60 members, and owned char '1 property valued ab about $4,000. A short time he. fore leaving this, hie first pasal charge, he was married to Miss Sophia J. Stair, of that place. He afterwards held pas. torates at Walkerton, Ont., Suspension Bridge, N. Y,, and Sterling, I11, from which place he came to Sae, ew in July, 1800. Under his supervision the work at this plaoo has shown steady progress. The membership, which at that time numbered about 25, only 4 of whom were males, nom numbers 180, and many have moved away. A heavy indebtedness, under whioh the ohoroh was struggling, has been wiped out, beeides over $800 has been raised and expended in furnishing and otherwise improving the chnrah building. At present a committee, act- ing conjointly with the pastor, have un- der consideration the 500011on, in the near future, of a more commodious house of worehip in a more central locality. As a preacher, Bro. Soobt iea clear and forcible expounder of the truth. He Me no 81)0 i1- ogy to offer for any, abatement found in the Bible, and ever mefste o 1 strict aim- plianoe with all the 1'oquiremente of the gospel. His missionary zeal knows no bounds. He regards the world as the field, and the command to "go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature" as addressed to every one who can contribute. He ie generous and lib. anti to a fault, and ie aver ready to make peesonol eaoridcee that the gospel may be sent to the benighted ones. 1 accaccomaciaccocaccasuccomeasst OUR NEW STOCK OF ,. 0 Has arrived' and we are selling them Very Cheap.
