arrived in this city on Saturdays train
and on Sunday occupied the pulpit of
the Cong. Church as noticed in the
REPORTER last week. Rev. Headley
is man whom our people will I'M
doubtedly receive with cordiality. He
is young man of apparently no mean
ability and delivers his sermons with
evident ease and telling effect, control
ing his listners entire attention while
speaking. We feel safe in saying
that he will win the entire confidence
and earnest support Of the public. Mr..
Headly is man who is quite approach
able, and withall true Christian and
man of God. He is plain spoken in
matters of business rs we'll as of the
church. We can say our impressions
of the Reverand thus far, are fattering
indeed, and we sincerely hope he will
decide to remain with us. This city
is abundantly able to support a first
class man and the Rev Headly seems
to be just the man this church needs.
We acknowledge several pleasant calls
during the week.

THE SELFISH OYSTER.

There once was selfish old oyster,
Who lived like u monk i'm closter,
Safely housed in his shell,
Like the monk in his cell,
Though the bivalve's apartment was moister.
Anchored tight in the mud of the bay
This lazy old party did stay.
Nor cared he to roam
Very far from his home;
Tor exertion, he thought, did not pay.
And you will be wondering, think
What he did for his victuals and drink.
Well, the oyster was sly,
And when young crabs came by,
He would catch them Us quick as a wink.
Then in him the poor crabs had to stay,
Till in time they had melted away.
So the Oyster got fatter,
And the crabs-but M mItter-
For crabs have no souls, people say.
" And ohow said the Oyster, said he;
" What lucky old party bel
Like King IN his pride
wait here and the tide
Every day brings my living to me-"
But there came a grim Star-fish, who spled
Our friend lying Hat on his side;
For the greedy old sinner
Had just had his dinner,
And now could not run had he tried.
With spring to the Oyster he came,
And he threw his five arms round the same
He shut OFF his breath,
And he squeezed him to death.
Then he ate him, nor felt any shame.
The point of this story, my dcars,
Just las plain rs pikestaT' appears.
But please give attention,
While briefly mention
The moral again, for your ears.
Don't be greedy und live but to eat,
Caring only for bread and for meat;
Nor selfishly dwell
All alone i'm your she'll
Don't be oysters, in short, repeat.
But you'll find it much better for you
To be kind, and unselfsh, and true;
Then you'll not lack friend
Your cause to defend,
When Star-fish rolls into your view.

remember that it was the first of April,
and tell Henry not to expect to find any

to fool him would be to put something
inside. There are the rubber-boots you
had last year, you know, Jack, and
they were so small you only wore them
a tritle. You might do them up for Hen

to wear in this spring mud.

Not many evenings after, you might
have seen Jack and Kitty very busy in
the Kitchen. The rubber-boots and cop
per-toed ones were tied up in a snug
package, and over that was wrapped no
end of papers, till the bundle was al
most as large as Kitty herself. Jack
wrote the address, and ran over with it
at bedtime, as he proposed. The Wild

hour, for the children had kept watch.

GRANDMOTHER.

In the Pickering freIght shadows
That glimmer, and CULVER, and glow
Grandma and little Mabel
Are rocking to and fro.
The baby Is cooling and laughing,
But GRANDMOTHER does not hear,
For her thoughts are wandering backward
over many iong-gone year.
She is not rocking our baby, Wn
As she softly swings TO aud fro-
But she holds in her arms little Sammy"
Dead-seventy years ago.
Her bonny wee, brown-eyed babyl
She lets her spinning-wheel rest,
And I'm the little log cabin,
She holds her first child to her breast.
Rocking, and soothing, and grooming,
While the shadows dance on her face,
And the flames are roaring and cracking
In the old-fashioned fireplace.
A blooming, red-cheeked little woman,
With eyes as black as can be, a.
The wild, restless spirit of girlhood h
Subdued by maternity.
And Grandpa IS sitting beside her
Young, and broad-shOuldered and strong
And he smiles, half proudly, half gravely,
As he hears his little wife's song.
The baby's eyelds are dropping,
And his spirit is far away
In dreamland, where mortal children
With the little angels play.
y y
But Grandma g head droops lower,
And think, with tear-dimmed eyes,
She sees, far away in the church-yard, trH
Where little green mound lies.
OH the little blue cradle Is empty;
And Grandma's arms are, too,
But they feel so heavy and listless,
As they never used to do.
Sorrowful, lonely and silent,
She hears her little one cry, .--
And she thinks he is fretful without her,
So far away in the sky. N
And she wonders, with feverish longing,
" Do they give him a mothers care?
Do the angels curl on their fingers
The rings of his golden hair?"
This was Grandmother's first sorrow;
And her step was never so light,
Her cheeks were tritle paler,
And her eyes little less bright.
Rocking, and grooming, and soothing,
Softly she swings to aud fro
She is putting to sleep "little Sammy"

LITTLE CARROTsONs HOLIDAY.

Mr.. Cutbill was busy LAWYER, a
bachelor and not very fond of children,
so that his married sister, who lived in
the country, made mistake when she
wrote to beg that he would provide a
day and an evenings amusement for
little Carrotson, who was returning to
Westminster School after his Christmas
holidays. The boy was due at his tutors
house in Deans Yard on Wednesday;
but Mr.. Cutbill's sister suggested that if
he came up to London on the Tuesday
her brother might make him spend an
agreeable day and take him to see
pantomime afterwards. Little Carrot
son was not related in any way to Mr..
Cutbilr sister, but he was the son of a
friend of hers, and was said to be an in
telligent boy, well worth knowing.
Mr.. Ciltbill consented to entertain the
youth, and little Carrotson accordingly
arrived at the lawyers private residence
in Cover street one January morning,
towards half-past nine. 1t was raining
hard, and Mr.. Cutbill thought it would
such weather. He would be getting
wet feet, catch cold, and so forth; be-
sides, the lawyer was absolutely obliged

so, as soon as Carrotson had been in
stalled opposite a cup of coffee and a
sausage, Mr.. Cutbill said to him, in a
tone that was meant to be paternal:
"Look here, James can l trust you to
be good boy while am outP l shall
be back for luncheon. and then L II take
you to see the waX-works, and in the
evening Wen 60 to Drury Lane. So, as
you re going to have two treats to-day,
hope you'll keep out of mischief" ll
"Oh, certainly, if you wish it, said
little Carrotson, cycling the lawyer with
some surprise.
IF you'll mind not to leave this room,
and not to play with the fire, / i see if
l have any picture books.n -" ~
"Don't trouble yourself, sir" an

there was a Slight flush of offended dig

lives in the neighborhood, and l thought
of going to hunt him up" iEoE4I7
"a friendP Is he a boy, like your

"Well, he's fourteen"
1t was so long since Mr.. Cutbill had
been boy that he had forgotten all the
habits of the species and the manner Of
addressing them. In the red-headed,
blue-eyed, merry faced lad before him
he saw only mere child who wanted
to go and splash about in the rain, per-
haps, to make mud pies and to be run
over by cabs. 'No, 1 must positively
forbid that" he said "You are under
my charge to-day and must do as / tel
you. Think what your mamma would
say if you were brought home on 9
stretcher.'' Then, suddenly, happy
thought occurred to Mr.. Cutbill. Why
should he not set the boy to do little
useful work by way of making the Tins
pass?i He had read somewhere tina
boys enjoy a half-holiday better than 1
whole one; so he darted out of the room
and returned with his washing book

a vast excess of weather extremes
