On the sand the children played ; Now thesand they tell us, falls ; Thera's a tax on every spade, Stringent rola concerning pails.I In old An,noDqmini Men were siroplb, merry, kind, Never struggled for the Bea, Never quarreled for the wind. Earth has been a peaceful place Free from folly, free from jars, Were the simple, early race That could look upon the stars I BY THE LAME. Standing alone by the lake, as the old year was peacefully dying, Soothed by the soft wind of evening, clown 'mid the willow trees sighing, Soft on the wind waves was floated the sound of the 'mnsical chime. Thal down in the OM village tower rang forth the ageing of Time. Like the light ,from the hilt of a jewelled sword was the dark sky's starry gleam, Like a silver SOK shone the silent lalce in thepale moon's icy beam, And cairn -topped hill and grassy plain were ,clad in a mantle of snowy white That gleamed like a young knight's silver shield flashieg the soft moonlight. But my thoughts were far, far away, es I gazed on the skinamering lake, Aud heard by the edge of the wave -washed beach the reeds in thesoft wind shake, And a throng of shadowy fancies passed swift through my musing mind, ' AS I saw the dark lake shiver 'neath the breath of the wintry wind. "How many have (Adria by this lonley lalre and marked the old year dio 2 Bow many have heard with list'ning ear tho wind 'mong the willows sigh? Here tilayhap has orouohed some Briton, eager to lean nn the carolers foe, Tracked to the side of the lonely lake by the treacherous prints on the snow. "The moon that shinee on this dark lake may have shone on the glittering spear Of some Roman youth, who on lonely guard thought on &bright new year, Spent far away in a summer clime 'math the blue of Italian skies, And sighed as he thought how oft he had basked in the light of his lady's eyes. "Some Christian knight whose maiden arm had neverdashed on the blood -red field, Whose heart was pure and free from stain as the cross on his unblazoned shield, May here have Wen from his lady% hind the scarf that tiny hand hadavrought, The scarf that would WOO on his oasque of steel when in Palestine he fought. "The wind that sigho among the willows may have played with the raven's wing That waved o'er the eap of some cavalier who fought for the martyred king, And the moon that shines on this lonely lake, shedding a silvery fickal, May have shone as fair on a bright blade tined with the boot of Puritan blood." A merry peal of clashing chimes came ringing o'er the grassy plain, And rouged ma from the reverie where, Ion. bound by tbe golden chain Thrown amnia nye by my fanoy, 1 had seen the shadoWy past, Filled With troops of king -like phantoms, flitting by me thick and fast, .And I left the lake behind mo, left tho moonlight and the willowe, And wandered nmoing homewards, past tho river, through the meadows, Somewhat sad, 'howevo lofty, wore the thoughts within my mind, And ere I reached the village I was sighing With the wind. , Pox I felt at tho root of MY dreaming lay Ibis hitter germ of truth, That while X gazed on Natuee'e beauty and and on every happy youth, All too soon the young grow aged, all too soon the aged die, And the thought of Death all.tnaetering geed from toy lips the pont-up sieh. e NEW BRITISH CABINET.

"All over" embroideries ore now made wide enough for skirts, Ohrniisettes out halt high are worn with corselets having straps over the shoulders. The anti-orinoline faction triumphed in England, and skirts fall in straight folds from thb waist. Buttons are of all sizes, some aro as largo as the debased dollar, while others ate scarcely larger,than shot. Tho Queen's order that no one is to wear dross trimmed with birde at Court is heartily commended. It is high time that barbarism received a Cheek. Bruesels not in pink, blue, green, black and yellow, has zig-zags of silver or gold tinsel. The effect when made up is like gleams of light in the oloud like fabric. Dark blue printing upon pale green paper, says an Englieh exchange, is the latest typographical novelty. It hails from Germany, and is supposed to be a boom and blessing to people of weak sight. Indigo blue and flame colour are to be worn in the spring. Jackets of these colours are braided with black in points from the shoulder to the elbow and from the waist to the el- bow. They aro lined with some con - treating colour. Canadian. News. Ohetham's debt is 190,000. It taxes 20 milts on the dollar. A. Dreary, notary, will oppose Ur. Beaugrand for Mayor of Montreal.

Tho death ia announced of Isaac+ Curry, of Glengarry, iu the 89th year of his age. He was the oldest resi- dent in the county, if not in Ontario, having lived and died on the farm on which he was born. The deceased took an active part in the war of 1812-18x14, and in putting down the rebellion of 1887-88. Sath Bittle, Maurice Casey and their backers were dieoharged at the Toronto Police Court Friday for en- gaging and assisting in a prize fight, the Magistrate holding that a sparring exhibition, snob as was proved to have been given by Bittle ..a Casey, was not covered by thelaw, although be thought such brutal exhibitions should be included in the law. About 800 employes of.the Massey Manufacturing Co., Toronto, went out on strike on Monday morning. The trouble, it is said, is about the payment of wages. The men have hitherto been paid monthly, • and a committee svititecl upon Massey on Saturday asking that the wages be paid weekly, This was refused, and the committee got their walking tick - eta.. Hence the strike. Baptiste and Pierre Vandale, two of the prjsoners sentenced to seven years in the penitentiaryfor being i participants in the Rielinsurrection have been released from confinement by order of the Governor-General. This is believed to be the precursor to a general amnesty to all the pri senors now ,a1 Stony Mountain. The released convicts have gone to Bas toehe to join their families. • There are twenty-five more half-breeds in the penitentiary. It is doubtful if Poundmaker and Big Boar, with the other Indians, will be released just now, pending the result of the present Indian scare out west. A:strange phenomenon appeared in the sky at the north-vsestern part of 1Viontreal from 11:80 to 1:80 last week. It appeared like a fiery sword etrach- ing from the horizon to the zenith, As the sky cleared it died away. Prof. ,MoLeod, of the McGill College obaer- valsor$T, flunks it was merely 0 reflect., tion from the earlh, and might bo caned! by the preeence of snow in the • atmosphere.

The riponin is very tardy when the temperature ia low. 2, After cream Weenies sour, the more ripening the more it depreci- ate. The sooner itie then skimmed and ()burned the better, but it abould not be churned while too new. Tho best time for skimming and churn- ing, 18 just before noidity becomes apparent, 8 Cream makes better butter to rise in cold air to rise in oold water, but it will rise sooner in cold water, and the milk will keep sweet longer. 4. The deeper milk is set the less airing oreani gets while 6. The depth of setting should vary with the temperature ; the lower it is the deeper milk may be set ; the higher, the shallower it should be, Milk should never bo eat shallow 10 a low temperature nor deep in a high one. Setting deep in oold water ec- onomizes time, labor and space. 8. When milk is standing to crea01. the purity of the oream, and conse- quently the fine flavor and keeping of the butter, will be injured if the surface of the oream ie exposed freely to air much warmer than the cream. 7. When oreem is colder than the surrounding air, it takes up moisture and' impurities from the air. When the air is colder than the cream, 11 takes up moisture and whatever es- capes from the cream. In the form- er cue the cream purifies the sur- rounding air, in the latter case, the tur helps to purify the cream. The selection of a creamer should hinge on what is the most desired-higheat quality or greatest convenience and economy in time, space and labor. THOS. FLETCHER, Plia,otioal Watchmaker and Wu.
