HE'S GONE,

Yesterday Owen Harrison left for trip
10 Monegaw Springs for the benefit Of his
health. He has been badly frightened
since the attempted assassination Of Prsi-
dent Garfield and was afraid To 60 to the
depot for fear some one would he living in
wait for an opportunity to Use his elegant
form "a target for pistol practice. lie
did not accept the cordial reminder Of the
BAzoo that Lightning never strikes an in
significant object" He WAS dubious over
his personal safety and concluded, in
order that he might be On saiety's side and
free from danger, that he would borrow
Shank's ponies and thus avoid the crowd
that gathers at the dcpOts when the train
comes in. Accordingly he took his minia-
ture grip and dickey along with pair Of
clean socks and three paper collars and
started off on MS dusty tramp along the h.
at.
The BAzOO deeply regrets his departure
and grieves over the thought that his
graceful carriage and imposing form will
not lend dignity to the deliberations Of the
eight wise men who preside over the at
fairs and destinies Of the Queen City. The
BAZOO hopes that his stay at the Springs
and his baths in the water will wash the
cobwels from his brain, lend additional
dignity to his aldermanic proportions and
give additional lustre 10 those piercing
eyes. When he returns a complimentary
reception will be given him, at which
toast willie offered by his colleague, THE
safe return Of Hon. Owen Harrison
MAY he long continue to fill his seat in
the council with the dignity and grace
inherent inhis nature"

He Wanted q Quart.

About noon yesterday, when the muir
curry was almost boiling in the shade. a
young gentleman, who looked a. thotgh he
might have come from the rural districts,
accompanied by couple Of ladies, entered
the ice cream parlor Of one of our restau-
rants and said: ''Eot any cream, mistcr?''
He WAS told that the cream was not quite
frozen. but would he i'm few minutes.
''Iiow do you sell il by the gallony" BE-
ing informed of the wholesale price Of
cream he retired, saving, "Eery we'll, we
will he back in hall an hour, and guess
We will take about a gallon. Promptly at
the end Of the thirty minutes he entered
the parlor with his friends and taking
seat at the table, said Bring me quart
Of that cream, will YOU" the proprietor
did not exactly see how they were going
to eat cream out Of a quart cup. SO he
measured it out into three dishes. and
brought it in and placed il on the table
with his most polite bow. The young
gentleman didn't seem to be very we'll
pleased. and after looking at the dishes of
for a few seconds inquired, as that =
quartz" Ae was told that it was. well,
wanted it by the quart" and he hogan

be more convenient, and they they could
not all sat eut Of a quart cup very con-
"You never mind about the
eating part, bring us up quart Of cream,
and 1 will attend to the eating. The
cream began to get little worked up, and
with an air as cold as the cream he was
dishing out, he grabbed his plates Of cream
and to the back room poured the cream
into quart cup, and placed it on
the table before his customers, and
now the Young gentleman seemed to
be in q dilemma the cream would not
stick to their fingers and they had no
spoons to eat il with. After meditating
for few minutes, bright idea seemed to
strike him, and leaving the restaurant Vas
gone few minutes, when he returned with
saucers and spoons, and proceeded to dish
out his own cream. When the cream had
been dispensed with, and the table cleaned
of, the parties retired, the young man re-
rs he crammed his dishes in one
pocket and spoons in mother, "when l call

OUR SUNDAY SERMON.

The Canadian farmer, prompted as he
undoubtedly Was by too active imagina-
ton, who appointed Sunday, June i9, for
the end of the world. is not occupying a
very enviable position at the present time,
criticised rs he is by the newspaper world.
How does he account for his prophecy
made void to the friends and neighbors
whose mundane interests have suffered
through their faith i'm him. Doubtless he
wishes himself a share in the inaccssibility
al Mother Shipton, who, after all, having
wisely omitted to name the day, has vet
six months claim on the credulOus. Well,
the world wakes old, to be sure but the
signs of the approaching dissolution are
not more evident than they were in the
wear 1000, which MANY good people be-
lieved would he the year Of doom War
and pestilence, social upheaveIs and relig-
ious dissensions were as rife in the eleventh
century a. in the nineteenth. For aught
We know 70 the contrary, this old world vi
complete its allotted span And We are AS
sured its end will he we'll heralded
Portents will appear far more direful
than those that heralded a drowned world
i'm the DAYS of Noah; and will he, per
euasWe cqudl1S u1SBtkdIutSl we Sft III
vinely warned Of the dread happenings
that then We are Ia expect. False prophets
will appear plausible beyond beyond any
that have yet drawn men from God. Evil
will seem for awhile triumphant. Anti
christ will rule the world. The church
will go hack to the catacOmbs And then,
''there will he signs in the sun and moon,
and upon the earth distress Of nations"
So much for the coming of the universal
doom. But for us, Individually, the dav
We die is the end of the world, and We can
learn a lesson Of preparation, even from
those whose misplaced credulity makes us
smile. Tomorrow, il may be that for us
1.-The sun shall he darkened, and the moon
shall not give her light" Tomorrow, per-
chance, We shall see the Son Of Man com
ing in great power and majesty. The
question is-are We ready for that dread
advent. Have We walked in the path Of
rectitude, guided by the Divine Star whose
light shines brightly from the armament
Of Heaven? Have we labored to emulate
the shining examples set for us during the
stay upon earth Of Him ''who notcheth
even the fall Of sparrOwy" Has the
light of faith burned brightly for us and
has it guided It's through the valleys ofsin,
over the mountains of despair and across
the deserts Of worldly things? Have our
thoughts been concentrated upon the celes-
tial kingdom, and have our acts been i'm
consonance with our thoughts? II such is
the case, we have learned useful lesson
from the miniature judgment of those who
would know that which is of higher au-
thority," and i'm the language of Bryant,
I'VE can wrap the drapery Of our couch
about us and lie down to pleasant
dreams"
