Their rushing waters sang to him of greater pools above That stirred anticipations like the ecstaeies of love.

Strange and unfamiliar scenes here each direction lent, In bewildered uncertainty his every moment spent. In vain he sought protection Tnong lily-pads or reed, For the evening hour was coining when the larger fishes feed. Beside a sunken timber where lingering eddies curled He found his only refuge in his more expanded world, The twilight hours passed into night, and safely in the dark He watched the twinkling of the stars, and ithe fire-fly’s mystic spark. With ever growing appetite he watched this amorous flight ’Till morning .came and gathered up the curtains of the night. With anxious speed he rose to take a stranded bumble-bee And flashed within the vision of his ever-hungry enemy The northern-pike, the chase was but a moment to the end, Within the Law Immutable all fishes lives depend. ******** Tested Recipes Salad Dressings The art of preparing salad dress­ ing is the key to success in making tasteful salads.

A little store was also conducted here. With the founding of Lieury, a post office was established at this point, the vil­ lage merchant acting as post master. An Orange Lodge also existed at an early date and although her people were not associated with the organi­ zation, Mrs. Nichols recalls having seen the parade pass the old school­ house on July 12, the leader retired in the brilliant regalia. “It was the pioneers in the early ’ 40’’s and ’50’s making their way along the trails on foot or in ox carts to the dense forests of McGillivray who really endured the hardships and who were the backbone of that country,” said Mrs. Nichols when re­ cently interviewed at her South Lon­ don home.

Fletcher, Presbyterian divine Rev, Ezra Turner and Miss Revlng- ton, school teacher. Mrs. Nichols’ father, Edward Lons­ brough, native of Yorkshire, Eng­ land, arrived in Canada at the age of 21 and spent a few years in the Belleville district. Finally ih© set out on foot for McGillivray Township, North Middlesex, where he took up 200 acres of land, erecting a shanty in the dense forest. A brother, Wm., later resided here for a short time but eventually went to th United States. On the Lonsbrough farm was set out one of the first produc­ ing orchards in the neighborhood. Mr. and Mrs. Peter Cathro, mat­ ernal grandparents of Mrs. Nichols who were natives of Dundee, Scot­ land, settled in New Brunswick in the early part of the last century. Mrs. Lonsbrough was born in th© City of St. John. Desiring to take up land in the newer country they also journeyed to McGillivray in the long ago and were numbered among the first settlers.
