A SOLILOQUY.
Why seek ye wealth in sordid gold,
And pleasures of the world untold ?
Fortune in passing will unfold
That death will surely end it all.
Why seek ye heritage and name,
And risk your Bout for earthly gain ?
It passes from you just the same
As death will truly end it all.
But strive while here on earth below,
The goodly seed to ever sow,
And in a better world you'll know
That death oan enter not at all.
H. J. W.
NONE THE WISER.
Sam. Switzer was a butcher bold,
For pork, tough meat he often sold,
The triok was done so slick and neat,
He out it up for sausage meat,
That folie were nonethe wiser.
From off the neolr be oub beefsteak,
To chew it, oh I 'twould make you
quake,
The brisket with hint was a roast,
And laughingly was wont to boast,
That folks were none the wiser.
Smoked shoulder sold as real prime ham,
And mutton did he christen lamb,
To get a name he neer was beat,
As o'er and o'er he did repeat
That folks were none the wiser.
As days went by and years rolled past,
The monarch death did call at last,
And from the earth bore him away,
To where or whence we cannot say,
That folios are none the wiser.
H. J. W.
FAITH AND WORKS.
When the gold winds of Winter blow
cruel and bleak,
And over the chimney.bope dome with a
shriek,
'Tis then that we think of the friendless
and poor,
And that faith without works will never
endure,
If they hunger for bread dont you give
them a stone,
And if wanting meat give more than a
bone,
Dont bother with tracts but bring fuel
and food,
It's works then thatoount ; they are beet
understood.
Lot the good golden rule in our Wives be
the guide,
It will stand every test wherser it is
tried,
Prayer is the right food to fatten the
soul,
Bet to warm up the body there is noth.
ing like coal.

ed that judgment be entered forthwith
for the return by defendant to the plain-
tiff, of the goods and obattele mentioned
in the particulars, if defendant has all
the goods, if not, he shall return what he
has. No costs to either party. Collins
for pltf. Proudfoot for deft. David Bell
and Frank Sanderson were indicted be-
fore the grand jury for perjury in con-
nection with recent liquor oases tried at
Clinton. No bill was found against
either of the mooned. A tree bill wee
found against Stephen Hogarth, of
Stephen, for indecent assault and doing
grievous bodily harm to Mrs. Charlotte
MoGabey, an Indian woman, who resides
in that seetion. As the crown was not
reedy for trial the oases were traversed
to the June session of '04. In the appeal
of Thos. N. Danoy against the convic-
tion fat abusive and threatening language
towards James Mitchell, deft's eon, L.
E. Danny, asked for a postponement un-
til the June Sessions, on the ground that
the defendant was too ill to come out,
and he wished to have the case tried by
a jury. p. Champion for the plaintiff
Mitchell, said that if defendant was too
ill to oome the case could be postponed
until the next sitting of the Sessions, as
the court would probably adjourn until
the firet week in January ; there was no
reason why the case should go over to the
June sittings, besides a recent change in
the law dispensed with a jury in such
cases. Hie Honor held that the ease
must be tried without a jury, and ad-
journed it until Jan. 2nd, when the court
would again meet for the seleation of
jurors and other business. Aside from
the receiving of the grand jury's present.
