Oft long to hear thy football and thy gen

Ever keep dispensing sunshine-turning

A companion tor our children, seeming

A Happy Conclusion.

Love has many and devious ways,
and often travels dangerous paths, 1t
surmounts great difficulties and wins
many laurols; it laughs at locksmiths
and weeps over defeats, and smiles
through It's tears, when the old folks
are in bed. What love is, am una
ble to say, except that it is naIneiess
something which prompts us TO do the
most ridiculous things imaginable 1t
Is a very mysterious kind Of thing
and generally makes us say that
which we most desire to be kept Sc
cret. In order to give the readers Of
the CLARION an idea of the status of
the marrlageable young people Of Me-
chanicstown, and the universally Of
this disease, the following dialogue
was overheard few evenings ago Le-
tween Johnnie, aged nine years and
Angeiine, aged seven years. They

MARGARET,
The Factory Girl!

The noisy clangor of the wheels
died away, and the six o'clock bell
sounded its welcome call. Margaret
Wilder gave a little sigh Of relief as
she folded her apron and donned her
hat. preparatory for starting for home.
A modest little home it was, Of two
rooms, where her sister Ida, delicate
girl of sixteen was waiting her return.
Ida was cripple. A fall several
years before had injured her hip, SO
that she moved about with the aid Of
crutch.
These two girls were alone in the
world, and loved each other devotedly,
Margaret, the elder, now twenty, was
tall, serious, dark eyed girl, while
Ida was tiny and fair, like their dead
mother. Margaret was thread win
der in the mill, and Ida made wax
flowers, and knitted pretty fancy arti-
cles for the shops, when she was
strong enough. But there were many
DAYS when the poor child lay upon
the lounge ia paroxysms ofpain una
bic to do anything. These were
dreary days, yet, in spite of her suffer
ing, Ida always had smile for Mar
garet when she came in at night.
Tonight the rent was due, so Mar
garet appeared at the agents office tc
pay it. Two pounds. She counted
the balance as she left the Office. She
had Just two pounds lett, and there
were so many things to get with that
money She sighed at the possible
ty Of years of such life lay before her
Working and working day after day
for the barest necessities.
She walked on in a sort Of brown
study, trying mentally to make the
two pounds do the duty Of five, when
she was startled by the sound of {
CHEEKY voice behind her.
Really, Miss Margaret, you move
like witch. For three minutes |
have been trying to overtake you.
A faint color timed Margaret
pale cheek, as she greeted the over
seer Of the factory.
He was large man, with kind
honorable looking face. The sort O
man that one would feel like trust
ing forever. He had handsome
white forehead, honest brown eyes
and thick, brown hair, which, wher
confused or troubled he had a fash

Baby Monkey.

Coles circus was packed the other
day with women who wanted to see
'the baby monkey" His cage was
next to the serpents den, and man
could not get within twenty feet of it.
The monkey mother sat there with its
diminutive offspring in its arms, hold
ing it as a human mother would have
done, and nursing it. Anybody knows
how monkey looks with a dwarfish,
bent up body, and face like British
tourist; but baby monkey is simpl ly
the same hideous thing condensed and
intensified. Yet in the little meagre
features of the child monkey the
crowd of women saw more beauty
than ever Raphael crowded into the
features of his Madonna.
oh do look {?
'Ain't it just lovely?'
How cunning.
oh NY did you ever see the like?'
How | wish it was mine

Isn't it just charming?
Right alongside the monkey was

and graceful as could be we'll imagined
with body whose markings and COM
bination of colors rivalled the rain.

by the admirers Of the monkey. There
is no accounting for tastes.

Last Sabbath was the occasion of
the first visitation of the New Bishop
Janssens, recently confirmed by the
Pope to succeed Bishop Elder in this
Catholic Diocese. He is compare
lively young man of fine learning and
natural intelligence, and pleasant
and elegant speaker. The congrega-
ton of st. Peters Church, of this
city, are profoundly impressed in his
favor, and he, no doubt is equally
pleased with the church and people
here. We were only present at the
A p. m. services, which were very i'm
posing and impressive. The music
was unusually fine. The usually
good choir was assisted by several
prominent amateurs of the city, the
solos being rendered with great sweet
ness and pathos. The procession of
candidates for confirmation, with their
choral song and responses, was very
solemn and pleasing to the beholder.
Thirty-two were confirmed and adj
mitted to membership. The Bishop
then explained the reason of their
mode of worship, delivered short
discourse, and soon the vast multitude
of worshippers and spectators were

FAIR LAWN IN sTITUTE.
Closing Exercises Friday EvcniI

Closing Exercises Friday Evening.
On this occasion the audience as
sembled was large and attractive
one, to witness the closing exercises
of the pupils recently under the ex.
cellent tutorage Of the Misses Baird,
and hear the reading of essays pre-
pared by the young lady graduates.
Rev. DIR. Hunter first occupied the
rostrum, in few appropriate and
well-timed remarks, delivered i'm his
usually pleasant manner and with
good grace, and then the whole school
of girls and young ladies, as they
marched and counter-marched upon
the large stage, in their beautiful
dresses of white, with wands in their
hands from whiclr fJated streamers
of ribbon, composed very pleasing
and attractive spectacle. Chorusses,
solos and Duets next followed in their
appropriate order, the rendition of
which were especially good for the
youthful ages of MISUNDERSTANDING
beyond doubt, that their teacher,
Miss Mary Fearn), is not only an ac-
complished and proficient instructress
but painstaking and devoted to the adj
vancement of her pupils.
Misses Lizzie Pierce and Lizzie
George were the graduates, who came
forward with grace and composure,
and read their essays with a degree of
precision worthy of finished scholars.
We could not distinctly hear the ell
tire subject matter contained in them,
but by taking the language Of the eX
pressive countenance and occasional
sentences and putting the two to-
gether, we were satisfied these compo-
sitions were replete with sound reason
and elevating thoughts from the brain
of clear thinkers.
Before the closing chorus was given,
Col. Power appeared upon the stage
and, with appropriate remarks ex-
pressive of the sentiments of all pres
ent, delivered the Misses Baird a val
liable gift each, presented to them by
the pupils of the school as token of
their friendship and love for them as
elegant ladies and kind and dutiful
teachers.
The exercises here came to a close,
and everybody went home feeling
they had spent delightful evening.
