die first p :
1t was short story. Until he was
seven years old he knew only happy
life. Then his fathers health falling
and sea voyage being decided upon,
MS father and mother sailed for France,
leaving him in the care of the village
minister and his wife. In six months
came the news of his fathers death, and
some weeks later his mother, too, died,
and was buried in foreign land. The
boy remained with his friends a few
months only, for on the minister's re-
moval to another town he was taken
possession Of by half-brother Of his
fathers, rascally, unprincipled man,
who had no love or kind feeling for his
young nephew. Here he was shame
fully treated till he could endure it no
longer, and at last, after six years Of
abuse and torment, he determined to
seek home among strangers.
81 wanted to stay" the boy con
cluded, "but / didn't dare to tell you.
for fear you would send me back
"Neyer, my boyl" interrupted the
farmer, earnestly. "You can stay with
US till you find better home, and we'll
do all we can for you."
"Well," said Mrs. Granger, as she
lay down that night. 'sthe idea of my
distrusting that boyl declare, it
makes me feel mean to think of it,
Early the next morning the farmer
harnessed old Billy, and, dressed in his
Sunday best, took the east road over
the mountain" He returned late in
the afternoon.
The announcement made at the tea
table was startling to at least one
hearer.
g / have seen your uncle, Jasper"
The boys face paled, but the farmers
next words were reassuring.
"He was inclined at first to be little
ugly, but after I'd had my say he cooled
down trife, and fancy he won't give
you any further trouble. You can stay
just as long as you please"
81 knew there want nothin' wrong
about that boy" said grandma, with a
triumphant nod toward the radiant Jas

Let It Pass.

Let It Pass.
Be not swift to take offense;
Let it pass!
Anger is foe to sense;
Let it psss!-
Brood not darkly DER wrong
Which will disappear ere long;
Rather sing this CHEEKY song
Lett pass
Let it passl
Strife corrodes the purest mind;
Let it pass
As the unregarded wind,
Let it passI
Any vulgar souls that live
May condemn without reprieve;
lis the noble who forgive.
Let it pass!
Let it pass!
Echo not an angry word;
Let it pass!
Think how often you have erred;
Let it pass
Since our joys must pass away,
Like the dewdrops on the spray,
Wherefore should our sorrows stay?
Let them pass
Let them passI
II for good you've taken i'll,
Let it passi
Oh be kind and gentle still;
Let it pass
Time at last makes all things straight;
Let us not resent, but wait,
And our triumph shall be great;
Let it passl
Let it pass
Bid your anger to depart,
Let it passI
Lay these homely words to heart,
''Let it passl"
Follow not the giddy throng;
Better to be wronged than wrong;
Therefore sing tie CHEEKY song
Let it pass
Let it pass!

This costs nearly one-third less, but
as IL seems to US is more than one-half
less efficient, with every argument in
favor of one Of the other plans, except
expense. We have not space to pur-
sue the matter further at present, but
when the new council get into working
order, will view it in some of its eco
nomical aspects.
Our paternal ancestor was always
replying to any manifestation of impa-
tience, that large wheels move slowly,
but the matter of a fire department in
Wellington has for many years seemed
so large and so slow wheel, that we
have despaired of living long enough
to see it roll around. A fresh mani
festation of interest on the part of the
council has given us some courage, and
now we are disposed to agitate and ad-
vocate this measure till something is
secured, even II it takes-well If it
takes a year or two.

The Concert.

The new church was first opened to
the public on the occasion of the Organ
Concert given Tuesday evening. No
one who had not seen the elegant audi
ence room since It was finished and fur
nished, could fail Of pleasant surprise
viewingit brilliant with gas-light and
upon so happy an occasion. 1t is such a
perfectly appointed edifice as one asso-
ciates only with paved avenues, and
the congregated wealth of cities. We
doubt II any country village in the
West has q better church.
The Oberlin Conservato ry of Music,
with Prof. and Mrs.. Rice, Profs.
Chamberlain and Davis, and the Or
chestra, ASST sted by Mrs. Mary Crosier
Metcalf, of Wellington, former con-
servatory pupil, the large new organ
aud grand piano, were the material
from which the concert was an assured
success. We 60 to press too early to
give the programme space. The vocal
duet, ''I Will Magnify Thee" was rem
dered by Mrs. Rice and Mrs. Metcalf,
in excellent harmony, and the voices
Of the two ladies in that number
seemed very like in quality. Mrs.
Rice's Swedish Winter Song" was
sung with rare enunciation and much
tenderness, the purity Of her lower
noees being as conspicuous a. those in
the upper register, In contrast with
the seriousness of this she sang imme-
diately after, a bright and airy solo,
aspiring Flowers
Prof. Chainberlain's solos, as well as
his singing with Mrs. Rice, was well
received. The orchestra and organ
music is always popular with the We'll
lington public, and the "Tannhauser
March" is one that wears well, though
we hear it in successive concerts. 1t
was q great oversight in somebody, that
while Prof Rice was playing the"Wed-
ding Mar ch" a bridal party did not ap-
pear and improve SO pleasant an op.
portunity to be ushered into the seri-
business Of matrimony. As 1t was.
this concert of April 1st, was all in
good faith.
The receipts amounted to $163.7s;
nett even 10000; so that financially it
may also be considered success.
