MAY we respectfully suggest to ladies
and gentlemen attending the performances
at the opera house that there is no prem
ium for getting out of the front door first
when the performance is over. Nobody
need he afraid of being shut in the opera
house, as the jaritor looks carefully all
over the building before closing. There i
no earthly reason why people should
Jump up (as though suddenly reminded OF
an important cigagement) just before the
curtain finally falls. Those who come to
enjoy the performance like to see it all,
undistubed by 4 rush. Those who do not
and on!y go to get out quick, would oblise
the rest OF the audience by leaving between
the last two acts. Then they are sure tt
get out early.

, Should be a strictly private one, and his
wishes were obeyedr His plain coffin was
| inscribed simply with his name and the
t dates of his birth and death. On it were
l laid wrcaths of flowers. In profound 81
loncc the coffin was lowered, by relative:
only, into the grave, within q stone:
throw of the house at Ecclcfceclan wherein
its inmate first saw the light. 1t was
dull day, and the snow lay in the church

S great fervor for our own dear country. OF
e which in His Infinite wisdom and unfath

n terrible and humiliating than any that hi
q yet bcfallen her seems to threaten on
people to-day. Allies for our country ii
her struggle for justice are sou sht from
y the ranks of impious infidels, who hav
plunged their own unhappy land into mis-
cry and who arc sworn to destroy the foun

land tolerate such an indiSp;ty Will sh
give her confidence to men who hav'
: wickedly planned it? Will she breal

Of persecution commanded for her th'
vcneration of the Christian world? lie
US pray that God in His mercysmay foibit
