LUCK OF ONE DAVIS FISHING.

One morning, when spring was in her teens
morn to poets wishing,
All tinted in delicate pinks and greens
Miss Bessie and went fishing.
in my rough and easy clothes,
With my face at the sunshine's mercy;
She with her hat tipped down to her nose,
And her nose tipped-vice versa.
with my rod, my reel and my hooks,
And hamper for lunching recesses:
She with the bait of her comedy looks,
And the seine of her golden tresses
So we sat down on the sunny dyke,
Where the white pond-lilies teeter.
And went to fishing like quaint Old Ike,
And she like Simon Peter.
All the noon I lay in the light of her eyes,
And dreamily watched and waited,
But tn fish were cunning and would not rise,
And the batter alone was baited
And when the time for departure came
The bag was fiat as founder,
But Bessie had neatly hooked her game,

GRAND RAPIDS, September 81, 1880.


N. B. Church, Manager for the Alabastine
Company:
We have examined some of the work execut-
ed in this city with Alabastine, and are persuad-
ed that as material for application to plaster
finish it is fully equal in brilliancy to kalsomine,
and is superior in respect to its adherence to
all surfaces on which it may be placed. While
the great objection to kalsomine is, that after
SUCCESSIVE coats hare been p,d ON, the original
one inUaridbty scales Oft. With Alabastine the
effect is quite the recerse: every additional coat
merely adds to the strength of the original
plaster finish, becoming incorporated with it,
and obviating the necessity of washing the en-
tire mass Off. And it may be used with good
effect ON wood finish, presenting a beautiful
and enduring surface for the same. We have
no hesitation in recommending it wherever kali
somine has been used hitherto, and believe it to
be superior to the same. Respectfully,
ROBINSON & BARNABY, Architects
DETROIT, Mich.

III. 'B. Church, Manager for the Alabastint
Company:
DEAR SIR:-At your requestI have analysed
specimens of Alabastine manufactured by
the Alabastine Company of Grand Rap
ids, and find no traces of poisonous or IN
furious materials. The material was carefully
tested for arsenic and copper, but none could
be found. My study has been "Alabastined, u
and am very well pleased with the result
The Alabastine makes very firm and durable
covering to the wall, and seems to be free from
any tendency to crack or scale. It is also free
from any disagreeable odor.
Yours truly, r. c. KEDzIE, Prof. Chem.

THE OLD sCBooL-HOUsR.

sat IN hour to-day, John,
Beside the old brook stream
Where we were school boys in old timel
When manhood was dream;
The brook is choked with fallen leaves
The pond il dried away;
scarce believe that you would know
The dear old place to-day.
The school-house IL no more, John;
Beneath our locust trees
The Wild rose by the windows side
No more waves in the breeze;
The scattered stones look desolate,
The sod they rested on
Has been ploughed by stranger hands
Since you and were gone.
The chestnut tree is dead. John;
And, what is sadder now,
The broken grapevine of our swing
Hangs on the withered bough.
Tread our names upon the bark,
And found the pebbles rare
Laid up beneath the hollow side,
Az we had piled them there.
Beneath the grass grown bank, John,
looked for our old spring,
That bubbled down the alder path
Three PAGES frosa the swing;
The rushes grow upon the brink,
The pool Is black and bare,
And not foot for many Q day,
It seems, has trodden there.
1 took the old blind road. John,
That wandered up the hill
IT'S darker than 1t used to be,
And seems 30 lone and still;
The birds yet sing upon the boughs
Where once the sweet grapes hung,
But not q voice Of human kind
Where all our voices rung.
I sat me on the fence, John,
That stands as in old time,
The same half panel in the path
We used so oft to climb
And thought how, DER the bars of life,
Our playmates had passed on,
And left me counting on the spot
The faces that are gone.
