Singular Recovery Of a Wedding
Ring.

A few months ago story was cur
rent in the New York journals to the
effect that a signet ring, bearing the
monogram "P. r." had been discover
ed by fisherman in the entrails of q
a Goldfish caught in Trinity Bay, n.
+. The fisherman, John Potter, kept
the prize in his possession until recent
ly, when he was requested in a letter
from the Colonial Secretary to send
or bring the ring to st. Johns, as he
had received letters from family
named Burnam, in Pool, England,
that the ring once belonged to Pauline
Burnam, who was one of the several
hundred passengers of the Allen
steamship Anglo Saxon, which was
wrecked off Chance Cove On. Ed in
1861, the said Pauline Burnam being
relative of theirs. The fisherman
in whose possession the ring was,
brought it to St. Johns and presented
it at the Colonial Secretary's Office.
The man of fish was introduced to Mr..
Burnam whom the Colonial Secretary
had sent for on the fsherman's arrival
The ring was Immediately identified
by Mr.. Burnam, who called it his
mothers wedding ring, which she had
always worn since her marriage in
Hudersfeld, England, in the year
1916. The ring was accordingly Civ
en- up to Mr.. Burnam, who rewarded
the fisherman with bank notes amount
ing to fifty pounds sterling.

A few friends will go and bury us,

ten millions of the earth was buried

hung in our dwelling, will cease to

1t is curious fact that onr hat and
cap manufacturers in different locali-
ties, use different sizes Of hats and caps
as standards. Boston and the East
ern States use the smallest sizes, New
York and the Middle States use the
medium to largest sizes, and Chicago
and the Western States require the
largest sizes. Goods manufactured for
one market can not he be sold for the
other, only in exceptional cases. The
South use shape peculiar to them
selves and to large size.
The false shame which fears to be
detected in honest manual employ
mept; which shrinks from exposing TO
the world a necessary and honorable
economy; which blushes more deeply
for shabby attire than for u IN an
action, and which breads the sneer of
the world more than the upbraiding of
of conscience,--this false shame will
prove the ruin of every one who suf-
fers it to influence his thoughts and
life.
How many kiss has been given,
how many cure, how many caress,
how many look Of hate, how many a
kind work, how many promise has
been broken, how many soul lost,
how many a loved one lowered into

babe has gone from earth to heaven
how many little crib or cradle stands
silent now, which last Saturday night
held the rarest treasure of the heart 7
