Theiveiations of an effort to pound the rudithents of an education into • the heads of two dozen of so barefoot- ed boys and girls that comprised her charge were far less hard to bear than the desolation of a home bereft of mother and brother. Occasionally some one of the neighbors would drop in of an evening or one or two of her girl friends come and stay all night Oh Sundays she was, as she always had been, a regular attendant at the village. church, where she formed, ea* of the choir. She was like a dower herself, not only in looks, but inelicacy of feeling i and sentiment, and per sweet face, sheltered by a mourning hat on Sun- day at church, was a magnet that drew the eyes of many a village Swain.

If there is amything that will touch a country hoy's heart it is to have "teach- er"—end especially a young and pretty teacher—ask hien to go for ground pine, so it is needless to say that Alice was supplied with an ample outfit of that graceful vine. More thee that, they begged for the prleilege of helping her festoon it, and when long ropes ot it were draped over the windows and above the fireplace In the big parlor, and the hall- and dining room received the same decoration, the house present- ed cheerful appearance. The culi- nary department was not neglected either, and a great store of pies, frost- ed cake and doughnuts was prepare& .

In the immediate vicinity of the eity the outlook could not be ef a more discouraging nature. Al- most iwithout exeoption the mark- et gardeners when spoken to regard- ing the matter declare that the crop is. praetically a failure. But this view lof the eituation, while amply ;borne out by facts as regards the le- vel conditiorte, is fortunately offset by It he report from outside paints. OP Chris. :Barrett, one of the lead- 'iing wholesale dealers in the city,and in >Apse tend with the situation in ,the counties bordering on the city was not hopeful regaiding the sit- uation.

Mr. Lightfoot, of Lightfoot &Sone, was inclined to be very optimistie regarding the potato question, "The eituation .arelind Toronto ie admit- tedly bad," said he, "but it is large- ly confined to the neighborhood of the niter. Out beyond York county there 5s little or nothing to com- plain about. Up at Uxbridge the crop is nn excellent one with little or no damage.

TIiat Mr, Lightfootta hopeful view of the 'situation is not generally shared in Is only too evident, :judged by inter- views with other dealers and grow - ere. 'Until within the past three or four weeks the potato crop promised a magritfloient yield.
