occasion Of this kind he had set to

The youth like himself, was fishing,
Houston on the wharf boat, and the boy

the interesting juncture of a bite at the
boys bait, Houston threw out his line,
which became hopelcssly entangled with
that of tn c boy. There was pause,
Neither seemed to have word ft for

forth with

then we'll avoid entangling alliances. "

ST. TnEREsA's FAIR. AS our readers
are probably aware, Rev. Father Kenny
intends having fair in his new school
building for the benefit of the school fund.
Among the many great attractions which
will undoubtedly be collected on this occa-
sion, one of the principal will surely be a
splendid Irish flag that will be found at
Mrs. Finnegans table. The material alone
has thus far cost $3.50, and we are told that
the whole cost will exceed $500. When
we add that the preparation of this beauti-
full flag is in the hands of the Sisters OF
Mercy, it will be unnecessary to give any
eulogy of its excellence as work of art
This will afford a splendid opportunity for
some OF our Hibernian Associations to OBJ
tain banner which will be not only an
ornament ana credit for its beauty but will
bring blessings upon it's possessors. 1t will
never lose the odor of charity.
