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.

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." —"More Tramps Abroad," by Mark Twain. weeeirwswwweswe 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 !" seeseelesemee... —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.
