My little wife is out beyond the burn,
l see her parasol behind the fir,
And here am inditing verse to her
Ere she return.
That pretty bird is happy there conceald,
This fragrant chamber smiles peaceful
smile
What joy to sing the joys of hOme-the while
My Joys affeld.
My spouse is mild-she's meek as any nun,
And yet her spiritual calm is such
Somehow ones always feeling she is much
Too good tor one.
She thinks I'm wise ard handsome-tiS her
creed.
L wonder if I'm either? On my word
Sometimes I've wondered IAN my bonnie
bird"
Thinks so indeed.
Perhaps! for she my homage neer repels;
Perhaps might have loved her halt life,
PerhapS-had she but been the little wife
OF some one else.
Bot why should ! complain of cross or cares?
Whlle entertaining her, (whO won't COM
plain.)
1t may be 1 an angel entertain
And UnawareS.

Skating ut the Basin.

The ice at the Basin is fairly smooth for
considerable areas around the shore though the
centre is quite rough. On the canal the ice Is
capital. This will De good news for the school
children who can well improve their weeks
vacation on their skates if the weather con-
tinues favorable. The ice is strong and the
sport will be reasonably safe. Yet it will be
well for the city to take some care to guard
against the possibility of fatal accidents Po-
llcemen are afforded for professions Of all
kinds, for circuses and for all manner of as
sembles where danger or disturbance may
arise. 1t is certainly not too much to ask that
Some safeguard may be given place where
several hundred OF the flower of our youth
daily meet when the skating is good. Two po-
licemen with ropes, a boat and other proper
appliances, could thoroughly protect the place
during the afternoon and evening. That the
danger is not remote or fanciful is proved by
the drowning of Tie young man last year, who
might have been saved if the city had taken
the precautions here suggested. Upon the
Mayor and the City Marshal will rest the re-
sponsibility if fatal results follow any lack of
care on their part. They certainly Cannot COM
plain of want of notice, as the PRESS has re-
peatedly called their attention to this matter.

The New EaxIaud Cbamp;on,bip.

The Boston Herald says the professional
championship of New England in single SOULS
is title that will probably have to bs decided
the coming season. George Hosmer has laid
claim to the title by virtue Of his challenge to
M. f. Davis of this city, which, for reasons ex.
planned by the latter at the time, was not
accepted. Then again Hosmer claims he has
defeated Frenzy A. johnson in regatta, and
consequently being considered Al by the other
oarsmen in singles in this vicinity, he is by
right the champion. Faulker is not considered
to be 10 the race for the honor, as Sullivan has
proved his superiority over him, as we'll as over
Lynch of Salem. Frenchy A. johnson, how
ever, does take exceptions to Hosmer's claim,
and, in conversation with the writer last week,
said that he would dispute the title with any
ore who claimed it. Frenchy says no one
shall claim superiority over him 10 New Eng
land without first proving the validity of the
claim in race. With this purpose in view.
he has expressed willingness to row Hosmer
match race during the coming season. AS
Davis may have something tc say about the
matter, il is among the probabilities ,has
Frenchy and Hosmer may have an opportunity
Of measuring blades With him in solving the
conundrum.
