Life and Love.

Life and Love.
Lifo is a garden fair and free,
But It's love that holds the golden key;
For hand and heart
Once held apart
Lites flowers are dashed with storm of sorrow;
And bloom to-day might be blight tomorrow;
Then needless ever of wind and weather,
Let life and love be linked together.
Life hath fair and sunshine face,
But love is the beauty that gives it race:
For hand and heart
Once held apart
The sweetest cheeks are paletl with sorrow
And blush to-day may be blanched Tomorrow;
Then needless ever OF wind or weather.
Let life and love be linked to- gether.
Against the Tiger.
Mabels waiting in the cleaning
For her lover, young and fair
Gently to herself intonIng
Words of love, and hope, and prayer.
He is sitting by the table;
On his face sits grim despair.
Mabels lover has been going
'Gainst three queens with two small pair

Then he arrives and whispers in my ear,
!" The past is not. lie whom YOU love is her:
No longer weep"
- am not dead
lie says, and takes me gently by the hands
And leads me to those pleasant yellow sands
We used to tread.
He softly talks
OF all things we talked Of long ago.
And am happy, pacing to and fro
Those well-loved walks,
But when try
TO tell Of what has happened since the day
lie went, ah me, he slowly fades away!

pri'thee, iceman, why dost thou
So coldly turn away from mel
The hunk of ice thou leavest me now
Is not the hunk it ought to be.
When you calleda month ago
And handed in your little bill
six dollars; fifteen pounds day
/ groaned, but groaning, paid it still.
And though with heartache day by day
I've watched that wasting hunk of ice,
You have the cheek to come and say
You think you'll .'have to raise the price"

An Awkward PrediCament.
Who starts a lady friend to meet,
Across the bleak and Shiny street,
Shall often lose his cautious feet
From under;
And, striking on the cold, cold stones,
With force that threaten broken bones,
Ejaculate, in smothercd tones,
BY thunder"

1t may not be our lot to WELD
The sickle in the ripened field;
Nor ours to hear on summer ewes.

Yet where our duty's task is wrought
In unison with Gods great thought,
L near and future blend in one.
And whatsoever is willed is done.

If any are disposed to doubt the wis
dom of the rapid construction of branch
lines and feeders now being carried on
bv several of our great railway compa-
MES, remembering that very many
similar roads have always been un-
profitable, they should remember that
the new lines are built at far less cost
than the older properties, and are op-
Grated far more economically than if
they were Independent systems.
Wholesale prices are less than retail in
railway construction and operation, as
well as in ordinary business.

COnstaIlcy.

Near the banks of that lone river.
Where the water lilies grow,
Breathed the fairest flower that ever
Bloomed and faded-years ago;
How we met, and how we parted,
None on earth will ever know
And now pure and gentle hearted
Was my loved one years ago.
Like the stream with lilies laden
Will life's future current flow,
Till in Heaven l meet tn. maiden
Fondly cherished years ago;
Hearts that love like mine forget not
Aye the same in veal or woe;
And the star of memory sets not
In the grave of years ago.

AN ABsCoNDER ARRESTED.

AN ABSCONDER AkSltE51ED.
Matthew q. Escot, the abscondlng Secre-
tary and Treasurer of the Canada Invest
ment and Agency Company, OF Montreal,
was arrested in this city yesterday, not with
a view to his extradition, but on capias
issued out Of the Circuit Court In an action
for debt. Deputy-Sheriff Stacey got him at
the Palmer House, where he has been for
week, In the custody Of detective. It
seems that the officers Of the Com
pany had been endeayoring to compromise
With him OH the basis Of less than half OF his
stealings cash down, he to pay the balance
when able, they agreeing. not to follow OF
cause him trouble. Escot took in the first
place $500, which he lost in stock specula-
lions and then $4,000, with which he left
Montreal on the 9th of last December. The
officers thought he had the greater por-
tIon Of this money with him, but he
claimed to have been robbed OF S9,0oO
while on the cars coming west, and to have
spent the remainder. lie offered to appeal
to his friends to help him out, but this ap-
pears not to have been satisfactory, as q tele-
gram came from; Montreal Yesterday TO-
have him arrested on o caplas. Snlt
was accordingly commenced against him;
and a capias issued. His bail was fixed
at S2oOOO As he could not give
the bond. he was put :, into the
County Jail. Escot admits that he took the
money, but has no statement to make: Hc
has wife and six children in Montreal, and
always stood well until he began gambling
in stocks. He has an idea that he will be
allowed to return to Montreal under a safe
conduct, to try and arrange with friends to
get him out Of his trouble.
