LEicRsTER--lt is rather dull times
here for news just now. Mr.. Editor, and
the best | can give you is that We
are having plenty OF rain. which
We very much needed. Some of our
neighbors had been lighting fire in the
swamps, for several days previous to the
rain of last Sunday but appreheud
they will have no further trouble in that
direction.
The mountain streams fill their banks
to overlooking, and the noisy rush Of the
water reminds us, very farcibly, of the
terrible times we have had heretofore,
with the mercless waves.
Our old teacher, Mrs. Thatcher, who
has been with US so long, has taken sit

Some of our young people will attend
the fall term in Brandon. The fruit
crop, here is light apples especially SO,
and not of as fine quality as last year.
The beauty Of the season is iading-go-
ing into decline; and We expect soon,
to see the hectic flush of autumn upon the
fair face Of nature. Already we can see
in the distance, the mountain verdure
growing dingy and pale.
The birds are fast leaving us they
will not stay to sing The funeral anthems
of the dying summer Now and then a
little wanderer sings in the naples, but
his song is but the faint echo of spring
time and the sad trill Of his lonely solo
almost brings the tears to our eyes. And
yet, to us, there is sad sweet beauty in
the season of decay. The voices of ma
ture have . msurnful cadence, as they
breath around us; and the sobbing rain
falls heavily, like the sad tears from or
phan's eyes.
A few days ago, | plccked the "las

thought aud reflection. The CLOWN,
beauty of spring, and the fullness of sum

EXTRACT FROM AN OLD MANS DIARY,
There was a usage in Cornwall, of ear
ly origin, called 1.-THE waking up Of Off
GERS" on the morning of training days.
On the morning of the first Tuesday Of
June, 1914, soon after day light, the
writer in company with tour or FIVE
others. being on the rising ground at
West Cornwall. suddenly had our atten-
ton called to an aerial sight, in the clouds,
in north east direction, to what had the
appearance of ships under easy sail. One
a square rugged vessel, others with one
and two masts. and some like row-boats
in which we're the appearances Of men in
the attitude of rowing. You may
be assured Mr.. Editors, that we were
much in the predicament Of "Belteshaz-
ger, when he saw the hand writing on
the WALL" our hiliarity turned short
corner.
And again. at the battle OF plattsburgh,
on the 18th of September, we saw the
counterpart Of the first scene, then we
saw not only square rugged vessels, and
noticed row boats. with live men in them
rowing for dear life. in the same direc.
ton.
And now. we call on the "wse men
aud astrologers" to interpret the vision.

SPRING GRovE.--The editorial dagucr-
eotype of Spring Grove" last week was
fair, faithful, and beautiful 1t reflected
credit on the heart and pen of the writer.
THE grounds The said) were never be-
fore so beautiful, or so well fitted for the
convenience Of all with the natural ad-
vantages of the situation, it is difficult to
imagine more attractive spot 1t is
fitting that this beauty so lavishly bestow-
ed by the God of nature should be conse-
Grated to his worship"
Yes, and that to, by an earnest and
evangelical sect, who doubtless lin their
descendants) for all time to come will an
nually gather at this "leafy temple" and
devote themselves zealously to Gods SER
vice, in labors of love for the conversion
of souls, the santifcation of believers, and
the reformation and upbuilding Of good
society.
We congratulate the church on the
acquisition Of this delightful grove, where
we can annually repair Tor rest, from the
strain Of labors of the farm and workshops,
and engage in the religious service OF the
Master and "dive for pearls in the ocean
Of love-"
While We accord to the Presbyterians
tho honor of first inaueurating and sue.
cessfullv conducting for time, this means
of grace in the United States. to the
Methodists belong the glory of accepting
and gracefully wearing the legacy OF
their mantle, long since laid of.
Thanks be to God for this inheritance
Now that we own so fine spot, let III
as q church, continue to improve it, and
render it more and more beautiful and
acceptable to all, who shall come to wor
ship on the consecrated ground.
All thanks to Brother 8. b. Rockwell
, who was the prime mover in the purchase
, of permanent camp ground, and through
whose eloquent and moving appeals, thu
ball was set in motion, which has resulted
in the purchase and ownership by tn
church of this delightful and charming
grove-the yearly place of resort for rel
igious rest and recreation for this and tn
I advancing centuries. T.

Solution,


Mr.. EDIToR:--We send you
the following solution of the
board problem published in
last weeks Record. Extract
the square root of one half the
OF the two bases, or ends,
this will give the mean base,
which divides the area of the
board into two equal parts, or
the width Of the board at the
required point OF division. And
the distance from the smaller
end to this point of division,
will be found by dividing one
half the area of the board by
The mean base between the
shorter base and the base at
the required point of division.
Solution: The square of the
shorter base Is lncheS) equals
25 square inches; and the
square of the longer base (l1
inches) equals 121 square
inches; and 121 square inches
plus rs inches equals 142
square inches; and dividing by
two and extracting the square
root, gives 1914 inches, which
is the width of the board at
the required point of division
The area of the board equals
27 feet, multiplied by the mean
base, or 8, inches, equals Is
feet; and one half the area
equals 8 square feet, this divi-
ded by 6772 inches, mean base
between the smaller base Is

CURED point of separation Is
