OBITUARY.—Died. in Bae field on January
16th, John Watson, sr. in the 92nd year of
his age. The late John Watson wu born
in Yorkshire England, June 2nd, 1806,
being the eldest son of Robert Watson, late
of ThorgilL Naturally robust, hie fine
constitution was eleveloped and strengthed
as he followed the vocation of farming on
his native lend. There are a few yet re-
maining in the little English towns of
Wrelton and Aislaby, and alao in Thorgill,
who can look back through a long vista of
years and remember, as in a dream, the
pleasantgreeting and cheerful smile of the
young English farmer as he went to and
fro amongst them. a 1836, he was married
to Elizabeth, daughter of the late Emanuel
_and Margaret Strickland, of Gillbank,
4- Rosedale, an estimable woman, who proved
to be truly both coinpanion and helpmate.
Some -years after his marriage, he decided to
seek a home across the broad Atlantic.
-That this step cost the young wife an effort,
although she never murmured, is evident
from the fact that some time after .her
death there was found on a slip of
paper in her hand writing, on. which
was the date - of her departure
for Canada, and the words "1 ha,ve this
day left the dearest spot. in the -world to
ene." Yet cheerfully, even gladly, she
stood side by side with her husband while
braving the difficulties attendant on early
-settlers and making for themselves a com-
fortable home in the land of their adoption.
On May 17th, 1851, thee eet sail from their
'native land, and after a somewhat Tough
passage they landed in New York, from
which, place they proceeded to Whitby, at
that time known. as Windsor Harbor, near
which there then resided a brother of Mrs.
Watson's, the late John Strickland, of
Oshawa with whom they remained a little
more than a year. During his stay there he
visited our western country and purchased
the farm on Bauble road east, Stanley town-
ship, formerly owned by the late J. Laing,
to which place he removed in the fall of
1852. Ancoinpaning him to Canada was a
younger brother, 'irtth .hie wife and family,
the late Robert Watson, of Brucefielcl, who
had married Mrs. Watson's sister, Hannah
Strickland, of Gillbank, who ;Igo came
west and settled near him in thetownship
of,Hay. On the 26th of November,! 1862,
lib life was darkened by a great sorrow in
the death of his beloved wife'who, after a
-lingering illness, passed hits) the unseen
land, aged 56 years. Some years after-
wards he married Sarah, widow of the late
Wm. West, shortly after which he removed
Lo Bayfield, and thence to Walpole, on Lake
Erie. Leaving there in 1873, he returned
to Bayfield, in -which village he resided
-until his death. On the 10th of February,
1883,1iis sister-in-law, Mrs. R. Watson,
died at the age of 69 years, and on Septem-
ber 24th, 1895, in the Stet year of his age,
Robert Watson entered the bourne from
which no traveller returns, leaving the sub-
ject of this memoir the only remaining one
of the quartette, who, so full of hope for
the future, sailed away from the shores of
old England on that bright May morning
in 1851. On the 13th of September, 1897,
his aecond wife died, in her 75th year. At
that time his home was with his nephew,
Mr. J. Watson, of Bayfield, and with him
he continued to reside for the few remain -
big months of his life. Although more
than a score of years pant the allotted time
oflife, he was hale and hearty until a few
weeks before his death, when it became ap-
parent to those who attended him, that the
end was drawing near, and on Sunday,
January 16th, he sweetly fell asleep in
Jesus. The funeral on Wedndsday, the
19th„ was largely attended and his many
relatives and friends, as they atood around
his grave, felt that • a good man and true
had gone from their midst. He was Iaid-to
rest in the Bayfield cemetery, beside the
wife of his youth. Being of a geuial dis-
position he wee highly respected and beloved
by all who knew him. At an early age he
beeame a member of the Methodist ohne*
with which denomination he continued to
he identified until hia death. The _surviv-
ing members of hia family are : Mrs.
Thomas Ward, Varna; Robert Watson,
Brumfield ,Mrs Alfred Scotehraer,Brownson
line, Stanley; John Watson, Bayfield;
Mrs.- Richard Penhale, Brownson Hee,

Women's. Club in London.
For the -prat time there is a library in Lon
don speeially devoted to topics coneerning
women and of special interest to the sex.
It is to be found at the Grosvenor Crescent
Club, which has been opened about a month
now, in one of the finest London houses ,in
one of the best situations. Cornbined with
it under the same roof is the Woman's In-
stitution. Members of the club need nob
necessarily be members of the institute, and
vice. versa, the institute having a private
and distineb entrance. No clubite, male or
female, could be better "housed or with
daintier surroundings. Men can be mem-
bers of the institute, and are admitted ai
.guests to the dab, smoking being permitted
itt tbe game room. A fine drawing room,
readingeoone and spacious dining -rooms
are supplemented by one depadtment sacred
to members only, so that, when the rest of
the suite are appropriated by party givers,
-those not taking part in the festivities are
here undisturbed. The appartments are
very tastefully papered, and some moat cov-
etable mirrors appear over the drawing-
-room fireplaces.Every detail has been con-
sidered, and no element of comfort is want-
ing. There are bed -rooms which members
can occupy for a fortnight or so, and by a
convenient arrangement rooms can be hired
by the hour to make any necessary change of
dress. The tariff of meals is a moderate one
and the private dining -room can be taken
for parties, so that women -who have not a
town house can entertain friends—a great
boon in so many instances.—London St.
James' dazette.
Mark Twain's Maxima.
A man may have no bad habits, and have
worse. A dozen -direct censures are easier
to hear than one morganatic compliment.
Honesty is often the best policy, but some-
times the appearance of it is worth six of it
It is your human environment that makes
climate. We can secure other peeple's ap-
proval if we do right and try hard; but our
owa is worth a hundred of it, and no way
has been found out of seeming that. Truth
Is stranger than fiction, but it is because
fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities;
e
1
f truth hut. It is by thegoodness of God
that in our country eve have thane Woe res
i markarbly precious. -thinks: freedom of
1 speech, freedom of conacience, and the prid-
I enee never to practice either of them. Man
I will do many thing' to get himself loved, he
1 will do all things to get himself envied.
Olassic—a book weir* people !praise but
don't read. Man is the only animal that
blushes—or need's to. Let us be thankful
for the -fossils: but for them the rest of, us
could not succeed. There are several good
protections against- temptationbut the
surest is cowardice. He had had much ex-
perience of physicians and said, "The only
wet', to keep your health is to eat what you
don't want, drink what you don't like, and
do what you'd rather not." There are two
times in a man's life when he should not
speculate—when he can't afford It and when
he can. Satan (impatiently) to new -comer
—" The trouble with you Chicago people is
that you think you are the best people down
here, whereas you are merely the most
numeroui." The very ink with which, all
history is written is merely fluid prejudice."

Cherry Sufferers.
A blithe spirit has special advantage ,in
the sick room. It is good to have a nurse
• who can be both merry and wise ; It is good
to have a, doctor who can crack a joke as
readily aa he can write a prescription; bat
it is even i better if the patient himself can
make merry over his misfortunes. True,
this is diffieult, but not impossible. Think
of Sydney Smith, who up to his J last days
could always joke about his maladies. He
wrote to a friend, "1 have gout, asthma
and seven other maladies but em otherwise
very well ;" and again, "If you hear of 18
pounds of flesh wanting an owner, they be-
long to me. I look as if a small curate had
been taken out of me." This is on a par
with Charles Lamb's hutnourous plaint---` I
have two bedfellows—cough and cramp; we
sleep three in a bed.
What His Mither would Bay.
A poor old Scotsman. who could no longer
till hie "wee bit land," r Was obliged to ac-
cept the kindly -proffered hospitality of some
English friends. On the day of his arrival,
they, thinking he would enjoy, it, procured
some cregs, which was added to the luxur-
ies already on the table. Tho poor man,
accustomed all his life to fare of the plain-
est kind, 'hesitated to partake of such e. de-
eided novelty as cress, and was induced to
try it only by fear of hurting his hostage's
feelings. In a ghort time she noticed that
tears were coursing down Andrew's cheeks,
and inquiry elicited this reply: "I'm think-
ing what ma puir mither would say gin she
could see her son eating grasslike., a coo !"

—The concert given on Wednesday even-
ing, of last week, in the Methodist church,
Mitchell, was not as largely attended as
Mr. Harold Jarvis' previous visit to Mit-
chell, but a large audience was assembled
to hear the noted tenor singer, who was
assisted by Mr. W. H. Hewlett, organist of
the Methodist church, London. All the
. -
selections were well received by the
audience.
—The Daily Mail of London, England,
contains the formal announcement that Mr.
Lawrence Irving, son of Sir Henry Irving,
is engaged to marry_ M isv Ethel Barrymore
the antkehit. Mies Barrymore le p, woe oi
Mr. John Drew, and is new playing at the
Lyceum theatre, London, with Sir Henry
Irving's company, in Mr. Lawrence Irving's
drama Peter the Great." ;
—Another of the old and much respected
citizens passed away cn the 6th- inert, in
the person of Catherine Lieiart, wife -.of
Mr. Henry Doering, of Milverton. Deceased
had reached the age of 09 years and 3
months. She was born in New York state
in 1829, of German parentage. Moving
shortly after to Waterloo county, she met
and married Mr. Doering, who survives her.
Their happy union was blessed with eleven
children, six boys aid five girls, all of whom
are living, with the' exception of one son,
who died in infancy. Mr. and Mrs. Doer-
ing lived for some time after marriage in
Berlin, Philipsburg, and Wellesley. At the
latter place Mr. Doering earried on an ex-
tensive business, consisting of general store,
saw and grist mill combined, and a large
farm near the village. By shrewd, holiest
business tact he amassed some wealth, and
some 36 years ago they settled on their
present homestead of 300 acres, one mile
west of Milverton. :Mr. and Mrs. Doering
had been married over fifty year.
