THE MONKEYS WEDDING.

The monkey married the baboon's sister,
Smacked his lips and then he kissed her,
Kissed so hard he raised a blister.
She set up yell
The bridesmaid stuck on some court plaster,
1t stuck so fast It couldn't stick faster.
Wasn't that q sad disaster?
Pretty soon it got well.
What do you think the bride was dressed lnH
White gauze veil and green glass breastpin,
Red kid shoes; she looked interesting
She was quite belle.
The bridegroom wore blue shirt collar;
A black silk stock that cost dollar,
Large false whiskers, the fashion to follow,
He cut quite swell.
What do you think they had for suprerH
Black-eyed beans and bread and butter;
Ducks in the duck house all in a futteri
Picked oysters, too.
Chestnuts boiled aud raw and roasted;
Apples stewed and onions toasted;
Music In the corner posted
Waiting Tor the cue.
What do you think was the tune they danced To
The drunken sailor and sometimes Jim Grow,
Tails in the way and some got pinched, too;
Because they were too long.
What do you think they had for a fiddle?
An old banjo with hole in the middle;
A tambOurlne made out of a riddle;
And that's the end of my song.

THE FARMERS SALT RAISED I'M
PRICE IN CANADA. -

IhlCh IN CANADA.
1--WE tell you" and the Tory orators
shouted themselves hoarse as they said
1t, that the consumer does not pay tho
extra duty. The idea is absurd-an ex-
"ploded theory of Adam Smith and Bas-
"tiat' Why, when the extra duty is put
"on, competition will spring up, and this
will keep the prices down to proper
"level., There is no danger of the con-
"sumer having to pay the duty" So
they argued, and all who ventured to
disagree were held up to derision as
speculative theorists-people altogether
too idealistic for this practical age. Well,
the National Policy came into force, and
with 1t duty ranging from to IL cents
per hundred pounds on salt. On the
Tory theory, this should make no differ
ence to the consumer. It's only effect
would be to give the salt trade exclusive
ly to the Canadian manufacturers, but it
should not increase prices, because COM
petition would keep the cost at a reason
able point. Let us see what the facts are2
On Wednesday, April 10Th, the salt man
ufacturers of the Huron district met at
Clinton, when general increase was de-
Cided upon. The result is that circular
is sent out by the manufacturers to the
dealers, stating that quotations have
been raised. The ordinary salt in use by
farmers and working people has been
placed at an increase of Is cents per bar
rel over the former price and this sum
deny it who may-will have to be paid
by the person who uses the salt. Free
traders may be theorists, but their theo.
ries possess the virtue of being sound, as
the great body of consumers in Canada
will fndto their Cost.-LOndon (OntariOl

THE OLD MANS IDYL.
By the waters OF life we sat together

BY the waters OF life we sat together 90.
Hand In hand in the golden days
or the beautiful early summer weather
When hours were anthems, and speech was praIsI
When the heart kept time to the choral Of birds,
ANA the birds kept time to the songs that ran
Through the simmer Of flowers on grassy swards
And trees with voices Eolan.
BY the rivers OF life we walked together
land my darling, unairald
And lighter than any linnets feather
The burden Of being on us weighed,
And loves sweet miracles DER US threw
Mantles Of joy outlastlng time;
And up from the rosy morrows grew
SOUND that seemed like marriage chime
In the garden of life we roaned together,
And the luscious apples were ripe and red,
And the languid lilac and honeyed heather
swooned with the fragrance which they shed,
And under the trees the angels walked
And up In the air sense Of wings
Awed us sacredly while we talked
Softly In tender communngs.
In the meadows Of life we strayed together,
Watching the waving harvest grow;
And under the benson of the Father,
Our hearts, like the lambs skipped to and fro;
And the cowslps, hearing our low replies,
Broldered fairer the emerald banks;
And the glad tears shone in the daisies eyes
And the tlmid violet glistened thanks.
Who was with us and what was round us,
Neither myself nor my darling guessed,
Only we knew that something crowned US
Out from the heavens with crowns of rest,
Only we knew that something bright
fingered lovingly where we stood,
Clothed with the lncandescent light
OF something higher than humanhood.
o, the riches love doth Inherit
o. the alchemy which doth change
Dress Of body and dregs Of spirit
Into sanctities rare and strange;
My flesh is feeble, and dry, and old
My darlings beautiful hair Is gray;
But our elixir and precious gold
Laugh at the footsteps of decay.
Harms OF the world have come upon us,
Cups of sorrow we yet shall drain;
But we've secret which doth show us
Wonderful ralnbows through the rain,
And we hear the tread of years go by
And the sun Is setting behind the hills,
But my darling does not fear to die,
And am happy in what God wills.
SO we sit by our household fires together,
Dreaming the dreams Of long ago,
Then II was balmy summer weather,
And now the valleys are laid in snow,
Iclcles hang from the slippery caves,
The wind grows cold-it is growing late.
Well, well, we have garnered all our sheaves
l and my darling-and we wait.
