Justices of the Peace of this county are
not in possession of the Codes, and are

of fees and perquisites attached to the

officiating in small townships in purchas-
ing them on individual account.

/. That we fully endorse and approve

ant of our own strength IN our defense,

3. That as retrenchment and reform
is our motto, as true patrons we should
begin at home, and while we demand,
as we have a right to, that our legisla-

the expenditure of public money, let us
not be prodigal IN expenditure of our
private means while we condemn ex-
travaganee of public officials and COM
plain of wrongs inflicted upon rs by

ourselves and families by living above
our income and involving ourselves in

In little low cottage, just over the way,
With brow that is furrOwed and head that is gray
Full three-score summers have brought their bloom
And three-score winters have brought their gloom
Since first 10 the light of that little room
Came Barbara Bray.
Day unto day. and night unto night
Walking by faith as well as by sight
She seeketh the light for the sake of the right.
Plucking some thorn from the pillow of care;
Lifting some bl.rthen not easy to bear;
To the cot or the palace-no matter where,
GOeth Barbara Bray.
child of God yet her portion is small
In the broad estate and paternal hall,
For the q eldest brother" had gotten it all!
And day by day, as he rideth by
In his g1lded carriage she wonders why
That nsver he turneth kindly eye.
On old Barbara Bray.
Patiently, cheerfuIIy, all The same
Turneth the wheel of the ancient dame,
Stopping never for 'plaint or blame.
What cares she for the sordid dance
OF men at the shrine of circumstance?
-ooid can never the wealth enhance
OF old Barbara Bray.
Wealth that never can turn to dust,
Wealth of faith, and holy trust
In him that giveth the daily crust.
TOiling away in the peaceful light
That shimmereth down from gates so white,
Cometh there never unwelcome night
For old Barbara Bray.
Little she knoweth of doctrine; indeed,
God and her neighbOr, - is all of her creed;
Short enough, truly. yet large as her need.
Dry stalks may be gathered, and tares, it may be-
But God is the Lord Of the harvest, and He
VIII pay al His workmen, If faithful they be,
Saith old Barbara Bray.
Strange that she should be toiling alone!
Strange, indeed, that there should be none
To share in the light of that old hearthstone
Yet one there was, but he went before
Through the church-yard gate and the marble door
And he waiteth above, on the golden shore,
For old Barbara Bray,
Others there were, but they faded away,
Some at the dawn, in the twilight gray,
And some in the pride of their summer day.
Yet oft, when the sunset hath lost its bloom,
And the shadows take shape in the deepening gloom
Sweet voices come back to that little room,
And to Bafbara Bray.
And then, no longer alone, alone,
Old Barbara sits by her quaint heaFthstone;
For the past with its treasures is still her own.
She dreams of love, and she talks with her mates:
She clasps her darlings and patiently waits
For the angel that cometh to open the gates
For old Barbara Bray.
Nor waiteth she long; for already afar
Through the gloom of the night, like the glow of
star,
Is shining the light of her homeward car.
WhirIing along DER the track of the years,
Out from the field of the harvest it bears
Old Barbara Bray.

Her wheel at the window is sc more;
But the tear-drop shall fall while the owIy and poor
Lay their garlands of love at the friendly door
