At length the hour came for Clarence
Ainslie to depart, for no longer could
he impose upon the kindness of his
host and hostess; and determined to
leave that evening, he asked to see Le-
one alone.
With pale face but quiet manner the
young girl entered the room, and step
ping forward Clarence Ainslle said,
feelingly: ah si'j li sa'i3i''i'5
"Miss Lightfoot, no longer can 1 i'm
pose upon your kindness, and to night
I leave you. Shall It be forsyera"
No answer came, and the Englishman
continued: ,., lo..-,cr

"You will trust me; take me as am

No other word was spoken, but their
hearts were perfectly happy.
OF course, Arthur Lightfset and his
wife objected and decidedly refused,
but Leone was determined. It was no

s9To destroy cockroaches take dry
red lead; mix with thin molasses to
consistency of thin cream; then take
pieces of glass and broken plates, etc;
spread it on about as thick as thin
window glass. Where reaches are very
numerous, give them plenty of the
mixture, as they eat very greedily of it.
l think the general failure with roach
poisons is this-the poison is so quick
in poisoning the reaches that they will
not eat enough Of it to kill them, for
they are slow eaters. The red lead be-
ing slow in its effect on them, they will
get good quantity into them before
it will sicken them. | have noticed
when any of them would happen to be
trampled upon, it would appear that
they were entirely filled with the red
lead. Place the lead where the roach
es can get at it most conveniently. If
the lead should become too dry and
hard, mix a little more lead and mo-
lasses with the old to freshen it up a
gain, and place it in other places.

Pat Among the Quakers.

One evening Pat CHANGED to drop
into quiet meeting house belonging
to the Quakers, and being rather as
.tenished as to what manner Of place it
was, resolved to remain quiet and bide
the course of events. He behaved
himself with remarkable decorum, uH-
til young broad-brim, no doubt mov-
ed by the spirit, arose, and in some
what unusual tone informed his hear
ers, II have married wife," evident
ly being about speaking in meeting
from this as his text.
Pat was excited, and called out:
''The divil We have!'
This interruption rather confused
the young man; but he continued: "I
have married a daughter of the Lord"
This was too much for our Emerald
Islander who exclaimed: ''Sit down,

H@When a minister in Scotland
died it was found in his will that he
had expressed desire that any of the
parishioners who wished might ask
and receive from his wife some small
token of remembrance of their deceas-

funeral, an old farmer in the district
called, when the widow, reminding
him of the desire of her husband, ask

as a memento mori. "Weel, ma'am,"

stream, and as he flung his fly over the
water it was suddenly snapped by a
large bat. The strange looking thing

IA Baptist paper was sent for
nine years to subscriber who never
paid cent for it. The other day the
paper was returned to the patient and
long suffering publisher with the affect

RAKTNG HAY.


With honest arm and scythe;
When neighbors helped in neighbors fields
And harvest hands were blithe.
For me, grew STRIPPING
They called me half hand
Among the stalwart, sun-browned men
Who titled the cover-land.
The rythmic swing of sinews
Was regular and strong;
The even-measured moving stroke
First set my soul to song.
Sweet music Of the whets'ones,
Like morning bells in chime,
Toned soothingly life's harsher sounds
Ny heart still beating time.
Right bravcly marched the mowers
Knee-deeo in Towering grass;
They ranged according to their skill
Like school-boys in a class.
And strength was brought to trial,
And strove with wrestler's wroth-
" no could the smoothest stubhle cut,
And who the widest swath
How proudly strove the leader
The swiftest and the best
He held his place a cut or two
Ahead of all the rest;
Allowed no one to lead him
The breadth of brawny hand -
4 master of the mowng-craft,
He ruled the clover-land.
The morning beams came glancing
The fiuttering tree-tops thro',
Like golden bills of birds that bent
To sip the sparkling dew.
And then, in soft mid-morning,
Began the haryeSt-dav,
And all hands-girls and boys and men
We're merry making hay.
There came a choice of partners
Who could the best agree,
And lots were drawn by glances quick
Kate always fell to mel
Now turn thy glass, o Mem'ry,
Upon that harvest-day,
Which poured its sunshine over me
And Katie making hay.
The morning call of luncheon
To grassy table laid,
Ass mbled all the haymakers
Beneath a lone trees shade;
\ bliss ofrest and breathing
Ry leafy fingers famed
And then another haying-heat
Raced o er the clover-land.
We spread the swaths commingling
In beds of rustnng brown,
And rich feId-odors foated up
On wings of feathery down.
Then rolled the ridgv windrows-
The triumphS of the day:
dreamed DER triumphS of a life
With Katie raking hay.
She looked all-over-bonnet
OF gingham-hlue and white
Her faces roses in the shade
Glanced out their own sweet light.
Her rake ,roUld get entangled
Sometimes, by locking mine,
And when she said: ''Provoking thing !"
Fen quarreling was divine!
\ spring OF bubbling waters
Welled up in woodside-cool,
And ever AT the field send hedge
Both thrsted for the pool.
She drank from ont goblet
made her of my hands,
And, kneeling at her feet, | quafed
From cup of golden sands.
The last load in the twilight
Dragged slowly towards the stack
So like great brown burly beast
With children on its back;
Aud fecky clouds hung over,
OF fsofteSt creamy hue,
Like handfulS plucked from cotton-bales
And dashed against the blue.
I'm dreaming now of hay-time.
The fields and skies are bright;
see among the harvesters
\ bonnet-blue and white
And kate's face is in it,
\ shade, it may be, tanned,
But It's the fairest face Of all
That grace the clover-land.
The clover crop was gathered
In harvest long ago;
Another partner Katie chose
For lifes uphill windrow,
But o, of all the sunshine
That ever blest a day
The crown still shimmers over me
And Katie raking hay.

The New King Street Market.
DESCRIPTION OF THE BuILDISe.-A MUCH DEsrRl
IMPROVEMENT.

DESCRIPTION oP THE BuILDISe.-A MUCH DEsIRED
IMPROVEMENT.
James Bradford, Esq, with characteristic
has pushed the erection of his new
market house at Sd and King streets ahead as
fast as circumstances will permit, and already
the large cellars have been dug and the founda-
tions completed and ready for the walls proper
of the building.
The building Will extend on Third street,
from Mr.. Bradford's paint establishment
to King street, and along King street one
hundred and eleven feet, the frontage on
3rd St. being Sc feet. 1t is to be two stories high,
with an improved ventilator and lighting apps-
ratus in the second story. This portion of the
building will consist of three large rooms, "a by
100; 25 by A and A by 80 feet respectively.
The first will be used as a work shop In con.
nection with Mr.. Bradfords own business, and
the two latter will be occupied by the Enterprise
Manufacturing Company as a work department
of that establishment. The front portion of the
building on Sd st. will be fitted up in small Of
fees.
The market on the ground floor, will be Ill by
Sc feet, and will contain one hundred stalls OF
various sizes, on either side of three large ayen-
ues, which will extend the entire length of the
building parallel with King street.
The building will be Of brick and of the most
substantial character. The plans which have
pearance, and the improvement will be one Of
the finest that has been erected in this portion
Of the city for some time.
1t is hardly necessary for us to speak of MIR
Bradford's enterprise in this particular instance
He is too well known by his works and his lib
ersl ideas of improvement to need any furthe
notice from US.
