follows of thew :—Shafteebery Hall
was well filled last night by an appre-
ciative audience who listened well -
pleased to the Scotch songs and Scotch
stories sung and told by this talented
family. This is their first appearance
itt Toronto, and they thoroughly well
deserve the good opinions that have
been formed of them where they have
previouely appeared. Mr. Bairns -
father has an excellent voice, and
sang with feeling and power. Both
as a singer and teller of Scotch stories
it is hardly going too far to say that
heisfullyequalto the fatuous Kennedy.
In some respects, indeed, he is evou
superior. Mrs. Bairnsfather has it
singularly pure and sweet sopreno
voice. She sang "I lo'e na a Melte
but ane," "Comin' Thro[ho Rye,"
and other well.known Scotch ballads,
in a way that captivated her andience,
Mies Maggie Bairnsfather song,
"Better Bide a Wee," and Rothsay
Bay," very nicely, though she tvas
evidently suffering from mild. Mr.
Richardson, who took the place of
J. W. S. Bairnsfather, sang "Afton
Water" and "0' a' the Airts the Wirt'
Oan Blew," very acceptably,

cannot Rupp), the place of the home
paper. No other contains the flier-
riages end deaths, to say nothing of
divorces and births. No other paper
gives the time of the next ball, picnic
or political meeting ; no other pub-
lishes the 'roll of honor' for the pub,
lio schools ; rio other dismisses the af-
fairs of the town and county, or gives
in detail the local news, which can be
obtained from no other source. Ev-
erybody reads it, and this le why the
loeitl paper is the best in the world,
and the best advertising medium for
its circulation extant...

DID you ever stop to think what a
tireless letter writer a good local paper
*is ? Day after day, week after week,
reaching into year after year, ib goes
on, telling of the marriages, births and
deaths, and the coming and the going
of the people of the town, the business
success or failure, accidents, crops,
improvements, meetings, revivals, in
fact events of all kinds. All is grist
that oomes to the hopper of a good
local paper. Why if you uudertake
to write a letter eaoh week to an ab-
sent Mewl and tell half the news that
your local paper gives, you would soau
give up in despair. The supposed
pleasure becometiresome, the letters
ithorten, further apai.t, mad finally
quit. Why the difference ? Because
with the newspaper it is businese..
People in a live town recognize this
and [eke pleasure in giving the editor
the newe ibeins you would never learn
of. If you want an absent *friend to
have ab the heppentegs of your town,
you can give hiin all of interest each
week by sending Do POST.

Telling to the ;tolling breast

Of an everlasting spring,

Softening, and to tears beguiling,
With its measured murmurs deep
Agony that could not weep.

.A. life whose breath is words remembered;
A heart that is an empty tomb,
Whose treasure is to death surrendered.

And not seek for kind relief.
