Fading away, like the stars of the morning,
Losing their light in the glorious sun,

So let my name and my place be forgotten,
Only my life race patiently run,
So let me pass away, peacefully, silently,
Only remembered by what have done.

HILL.-In Lunenburg, Juno 81, of diphthe-
ria, Georgia, son of Mr.. and Mrs. George Hill,
aged 10 years.
He was taken sick last Wednesday morning
and left us at seven o'clock Saturday morning
The disease, as frequently it does of late, early
assumed most malignant form, battling the
efforts of one of our most skillful and expert
enced physicians,
Little Georgia was bright promising child,
n nice scholar and very fond of going to
church and Sunday school, His questions up
on serious subjects evipeed a thoughtfulness
and especially tenderness of conscience be.
You'd his years. He was delirious in his last
hours, but we are sure he has gone to join that
precious children's band beyond the river
And among them, we doubt not, he has found
bis much loved playmate, Marshall, son of Mr..
and Mrs. Joseph Powers. They were of the
same neighborhood, about the same age, and
warmly attached to each other. Some two
weeks since he was taken sick with the same
disease and died the fourth day. When the
time came that his parents felt he must leave
them, the father expressed to his mother his
resolution to tell him their fears, but knowing
50 well his timid and sensitive nature in re-
gard to the subject of death, she rather hesita-
ted. The father, however, persisting, eau
tiously said, you are very sick, Marshie lam
afraid you will die" at which the little fellow
quietly replied, II know shall die, l am al
most dead now. shall live but little while
longer but love Jesus and Jesus loves me-
God has been with me ever since have been
sick" AS he saw the grief of his parents, he
urged them not to feel bad, for, said he, 1T is
all right" He repeated the words 80, am so
glad that Jesus loves me-" over and over
again. Dear Marshie fell asleep in the arms
of him who said, "Sutfer little children to
come unto me-" Con-

Frencbmen stepped up to the ticket

The conven lion to recommend a Sc.
ries of Text Books for adoption in the
towns of this county, was held Tues
day, and series of books recommend.
ed as will be seen by the report of the
Convention in another column. The
discussion over the different books pre-
sented for consideration was somewhat
extended and at times a little stormy
Especially was this so when it seemed
to crop out that some of the members
came pledged to vote and work for GER
tain books, just as men do at political
conventions for their favorites for Of
flee. The selection of books was I'M
doubtedly good one, we think the
best, still we doubt if it will result in
uniformity throughout the county that
was intended and so much desired.
Messrs. Rawson & Pottle have Just
received some new styles of atomizers
and thereby hangs tale. In accord.
ance with their usual generosity, they
placed one, filled with choice perfum-
cry on the show case, the better to ex-
hibit the good qualities of the article
in question. The boys soon found it
out, and, boyish like, were not content
with trying it once, but must come in
half-a-dozen times a day and saturate
their clothes and hands with the nice
perfumery. This was more than hu-
man nature could stand so the per-
fumed atomizer was removed, and one
containing extract of cayenne substi-
tuted. The result may be better mag
ined than described, but if it teaches
those boys not to NEEDLE with things
not concerning them, the cayenne will
not have been used in vain. 1t was a
severe but much needed lesson, and
Messrs. Rawson & Pottle have already
reaped benefit from it.

OF this place on Saturday last, climbed

attention she was saved. Parents, be

A shooting ARRAY took place at East

the COaoans0iLle Observer was requested

Some of the jewellers on the shores of
Lake Memphremagog report that on a
recent Sunday there was a great flight
of Colorado beetles from the west to
the east side of the lake, and that the
hum of their wings was like that of a
flight of bees. Many of them fell in the
lake, but floating to the shore, they
chung to the stones and single on the
shore where they could be picked up
in large quantities. One veritable re-
lator of this flight says this is no sea
serpent story, but an actual occur
renee easily verified.
A section man named j. Baptiste
Champagne, aged seventy-four years,
in attempting to leave a train while in
motion at Cowansville station, last
Friday morning, slipped and fell on to
the track, two cars passing over his
arm he was also injured about the
head. He was picked up for dead but
shortly came to and medical assistance
was at once procured. The arm was
amputated near the shoulder and at
the present writing the old man is in a
fair way to recover. No blame can be
attached to any one as the accident
occurred wholly by his own careless
ness.
