The youngest of six daughters of Edwin Norton, Lillian was born in Farmingham, Maine, in 1859, in a family where music was the atmosphere of the home. Her father was a violinist and her mother a. singer with an un- usually sweet, rich voice. Mrs. Norton's ambitions chafed at the limitations of village life; she wanted broader opportunities for the development of her children, so when Lillian was six the family made its gladsome exodus from Maine to Boston, the Mecca of her dreams. The future prima donna early revealed the promise of her wonderful voice, and the mother of the transplanted family laid aside money from her boarding-house for the musical instruction of her daughter. From twelve to fifteen Lillian studied at the Boston Conservatory, with Prof. John O'Neill, 'who condensed the five years' course into three. When her interest flagged in the slightest she was stimulated to new energy by her mother, who learned her daughter's parts in order to teach her, 'worked untiringly and saved loy- ally for the new goal of instruction. Lillian was growing in power and courage. She was making $1,000 a year as a church singer, but singing in church did not satisfy her high ideals. She audaciously besieged Tietjens in her dressing -room, and by her beauty, her grace and her persistence, forced the great singer to listen to her rendering of Leonora's aria in "II Trovatore." Tietjens was charmed, nobly captivated, and became her friend. She advised her to go to New York to study with Maretzek. The devoted mother was equal to this new emergency; she met the occasion with her customary high finance; saved, borrowed and otherwise secured enough money for a two years' stay in the snetropolis, where she watched tenderly over her beloved daughter. On completing the two years, when funds were ebbing and hopes flow- ing, Gilmore heard the singer and engaged her for a hundred concerts in Europe. In 1878 came the ddbut at the Trocadero in Paris, followed by a term at Milan, where San Giovanni, an enthusiastic admirer of the singer, rechristened her "Giglio Nordica," the Lily of the North. At Brescia, where her success was overwhelming, her mother fainted through joy at hearing unending plaudits of the enthusiastic audience. Entered according to Act of the Parliament of Canada, in the year 190i, by w, C. Mack, at the Department of Agriculture. Freight rates on the prodnots of' the packing houses will advance on Aug- ust 7 on both the Canadian Pacific and Grand Trunk Imes. The packing houses at Toronto, Peterboro' and Coliingwood will be mainly affected. The advance amounts to between two and three Dents a hundred. It is understood that the C.P.R. will erect a station at Guelph at the foot of Trafalgar square, near Formosa bridge, as previously proposed, at a cost of about $40,000. The station at Goderioh will be along the same lines. Elmira, Blyth and Milverton will also be accommodated with stations ac- cording to the requirements of the population. A burly looking laborer was working at a windlass and had thrown his hat on the ground. A clergyman stood for a few minutes watching the process of raising the huge buckets of clay from the well, and ventured the remark: "Aren't you afraid of the sun affecting your brain, Pat?" Taking the cuddy out of his mouth, Pat turned on him a withering look and said: "Dye think Oi'd be workin' at a job loike this if Oi had any brains?" Mrs. J. H.

(Ella Wheeler Wilcox,) There are songs enough for the hero Who dwells on the heights of fame, I sing for the disappointed— For those who missed their aim. I sing with a tearful cadence For one who stands in the dark, And knows that his last, best arrow Has bounded back from the mark. I eing for the breathless runner, The eager anxious soul, Who falls with his strength exhausted, Almost in sight of the goal. For the hearts that break in silence, With a sorrow all unknown ; For those who need companions, Yet walk their ways alone. Therd are songs enough for lovers, Who share life's tender pain: I sing for the one whose passion 1.9 given all in vain. For those whose spirit comrades Have misaed them on the way, 1 sing with a heart o'erflowing This minor strain to -day. And I know that the soiaa system Must somewhere keep in space A. prize for that spent runner Who barely lost the race. Por the plan would be imperfect 17nless it held some sphere ','hat paint for the toil and talent Ann love that are wasted here. cz FARM FOR SALE.
