over for mornings nap, stepped brlsky out OF bed

more dismal day dawn, and what was worse, 1t
stayed dismal. 1t all very well to fall back on
the old saying which used to bring CLEAN of sun
shine to our childish hearts-if not TO the skies

Rain before seven
Will stop before 'lcyrn"
70 he sure it did stop before IL, but 1t was only
! to make room for a little snow storm, which, how
ever found the streets mnch too dragging for its
white skirts, and very gave place to the rain
and sleet which had things all their own way after

The train bearing the Marquis and Princess was

prominent citizens" who might have found refuge
from the storm underth the pavilion at the station, in

or three months. And all they saw az a reward for
their zeal vas an incoming train, prettily decor

The next thing N order was an illumination Of
Ottawa on Wednesday night, which was q grand
success and beautiful sight. II was the third
general illumination the history Of the young
