1t is probable that the Calvary Baptist Church
will follow soon the prevailing fashion ana move
further uptown. John II. II, ane and William \.

have purchased six lots, 100 feet by 100 feet, III

for 81 81 900. They have done tbs on their own re-
sponsibility, but will give the church the oppor
tuhity Of taking the property al the price The
action of the society will be decided at meeting OF
its c"rporatOrs Thursday, April ~. The Rev Dr.

A TASTE OF MAINE BIRCH.

The traveller and camper-out in Maine,
unless he penetrates its more northern
portions, has less reason to remember it
as pine-tree state than a birch-tree
state. The white-pine forests have
melted away like snow in the spring and
gone down stream, leaving only patches
here and there in the more remote and
inaccessible parts. The portion of the
state saw, the valley of the Kennebec
and the woods about Moxie Lake. had
been shorn of its pine timber more than
forty years before, and is now covered
with thick growth of spruce and cedar
and various deciduous trees. But the
birch abounds. Indeed, when the pine
goes out the birch comes in; the race of
men succeeds the race of giants. This
tree has great stay-at-home virtues. Let
the sombre, aspiring, mysterious pine
go; the birch has humble everyday
uses. In Maine, the paper or canoe
birch is turned to more account than
any other tree. Uncle Nathan, our
guide, said it was made especially for
the camper-out; yes, and for the wood
man and frontiersman generally. It is
magazine. furnishing store set up in
the wilderness, whose goods are free to
every conner. The whole equipment of
the camp lies folded in it, and comes
forth at the beck of the woodman's axe I;
tent, waterproof roof, boat. camp uten-
sils, buckets, cups, plates, spoons, nap
kins, table-cloths. paper for letters or
your journal. torches, candles, kindling
wood, and fuel. The canoe birch yields
you its vestments with the utmost liber-
ality. Ask for its coat, and it gives you
its waistcoat also. Its bark seems
wrapped about in layer upon layer, and
comes off with great ease. We saw
many rude structures and cabins shin
gled and sided with it. and hay-stacks
capped with it. Near maple-sugar
camp there was a large pile of birch
bark sap. buckets, ts,-each bucket made
of piece of bark about yard square,
folded up as the tinman folds up a
sheet of tin to make square vessel, the
corners bent around against the sides
and held by a wooden pin. When, one
day, we were overtaken by shower in
travelling through the woods. our guide
quickly stripped large sheets of the bark

of bis tone or the look of his brown
eyes. and she answered simply and
naiyely:
81 thought you had forgotten me-"
Forgotten you ?"
She could not have told how it hap
pened; but somehow she found herself
seated on the step of the stile with Wal
ter beside her, and her cheek close-ah !
very close-to his, whilst all the world
around seemed transformed into strange
beauty and glory. Such miracles does
a moment sometimes work in our lives.
As they walked slowly homeward to-
gether, he told her that one thing and
another had prevented his seeing her
among the rest, Bill having told him
confidently at the church that she was
too sick to come down stairs that day
a statement which he had unfortunately
credited, and when this morning he had
called and learned from her mother
where she had gone, he lost no time in
following.
"But, Walter" said Hetty hesitating-
ly, ''do you know l heard something
about you and-Miss Mitchell 2"
He laughed.
Miss Mitchell is to be married short
ly, Hetty, to our junior partner. She
has been very kind to me, and so has
her uncle my employer. Indeed. Het-
ty, l wanted to tell you of my good for
tune and prospects, and to ask you dar-
ling, if, when"
And the words which had been for a
whole year delayed were spoken, and
Hetty wondered, as she came in sight
of her home, whether this could be the
same world that it had been on that
dark, dark day, yesterday.
