PLANTING TIME.

"I've planted paper of pins in row;
1 wonder when will my pin-trees grow 2"
Cried little Dora with puzzled eyes,
At aunty's look of complete surprise.
" Planted paper of pins, my dear?
They'll never come up, though you wait year
Yes, you may wait for year and day,
And down in the ground your pins win stay.
"Roses and lilies and daisies white,
Blossom and flourish in dark and light;
But pins will rust in the planted row,
For out in the garden no pin-trees grow"

run it into some advertisement, that we avoid

as possible to induce people to give them one
trial. as no one who knows their value will ever
use anything else.-PrOuldence ADVERTISER

THE NEW A. M. E. CHURCH.

We are informed by the pastor of this
church. Rev. Mr.. Collett, that the erection
of the new house of worship will be begun
at once and rapidly pushed TO completion.
The whole amount collected up to this time
is 81 30. OF this amount he has paid out
on account of the church 800, the remain
der going to the payment of the salary of
the minister. About $500 additional will
be needed, three hundred of which is already
subscribed, leaving $500 yet 10 be raised.
The new church is TO be of brick, thirty by
fifty feet in size, with class rooms ten
feet square in size. The building. which
will be very neat one when finished, will
be Surmounted by an appropriate steeple
and befry.
Mr. Collett, who is an energetic business
man as we'll good pastor, will leave
the edfice at once, and in his efforts should
receive the support of all friends OF the
church. His congregation is small and I'M
able to aid great deal i'll the enterprise
and i'll consequence of this he is forced to
90 outside of the church to collect the bulk
of the money. Thus far he has been very
successful, and we have no doubt but that
future calls will be answered by our citi-
| zens as promptly as have past ones.
