. r ' A Diary is a useful thing
For every man that's out
To write the many things he sees
When e'er he goes about,
The office needs it little intro
Than individual man •
To keep a note when bills come due—
Manskips:them if he can.
They save* the brain from dreadful
strain
And keep accounts all square
A little note of what's been done
Is safe and nlwaa s there,
The lawyer; doctor, parson, clerk,
A11 find it useful too,
Would lose .their practise pretty quick
But fit their Diary tare,
We have the strongest, best -of books,
For office use you'll get,
Our Pocket Journals you should try,
The expense you'll not regret.

given an opportunity to do so, which
ended in a brilliant success. The raid
conducted by Col. Pilcher was very
difficult, owing to the fact that the
movements of the troops were imme-

natives. In order to prevent thin Ool..
