CURRANT and gooseberry bushes

I'M. d. Conway's Letter to Gin. Com. Gazette.I
Speeding up along the coast-climb-
ing higher and higher north
ward-one arrives finally at multitude

from the train-as one will be glad to do
if he has come from London, sixteen
hours away-one discovers that these

Ceramic City" After a walk through
the streets my first thought is what dear
old SAINT Valentine, OF this, his festival
day, would think of this hard, old Scot
fish city, could he enter it. That simple
hearted saint-who, when he saw two
lovers enjoying a sly kiss, thanked God
some Christian love was still left ON
earth-would see large number of dingy
and dirty shops, with windows full of
inconceiyable caricatures called valen-
tines, and would have to reflect that he
is the last Catholic saint who survives in
Aberdeen, even in such dismal, degraded
sanctity. From an aesthetic point of view
it is quite sad TO alight here and there
on faint relics of the beauty which Aber-
deem possessed III it's old Catholic days,
mingled with the apotheosis of ugliness
which has succeeded. This is startingly
shown in the university, which was
founded by Bishop EIphinstone, six years
before the discovery of America. In that
chapel some Of the carved wood of that
period is left. and there is none more rich
and beautiful in Europe; but this work
Is an oasis In o desert of ugline:s. The
1est is all bare walls, without trace of
beauty or rather with cunningly devised
repulsiveness. There is an ancient por-
trait of the bishop, with his jewelled
coax and his colored robes, and face so
sweet and sanity that it needs no such
sitting. All around him are the presi-
obnts and professors who have ruled in

Too Honest to be Trusted,
CFrom the Arkansaw Traveller


A gentleman stopped his horse at a
toll-gate, and not seeing the gateman
went i1to the house. Finding no one he
began to search, and finally discovered
the gate keeper out In the field at work.
Although the old man was quite a dis
lance away, the gentleman went into
the field, approached the old man and
said:
"You are the toll-gate keeper, I be-
lieve ."
g Yes, SIR" the old man replied, turn
ing and leaning upon his hoe handle.
Well, [ want TO go through the
gate.

"Yes, sir, said the gentleman proud

the table ?"
Yes, but l wanted you to know that

6 Yes, sir, replied the gentleman,
while pleased expression spread over
his face.
You would have walked three times

An Ungenuine Kiss.
lFrom the Boston Herald


The rule forbidding the stopping of
street cars on fremont Street, between
Boylston and BromfeId, Boston, at places
other than street corners, gave rise to an
amusing incident day or two since. 1t
WAS on Highland car, which had but
two occupants, one of whom was young
LADY who was DESTROYS of stopping at
Mason Street. AS the car approached
tie corner she turned to signal the con-
dlctor, but that employee was in the act
OF kissing his hand to young woman
OF the walk, and, before his attention
could be attracted, the car had passed
the stopping place, and the young lady
sank resignedly into her seat and rode
TO West Street. There the conductor
rang to stop and the pretty, but rather
Indignant passenger stepped to the plat
form and, with slight sparkle in her eye,
sad: So am unselfsh enough to walk
amile if you could give her genuine
kiss, but this is little too much.

A Sparrow Story.
lFrOm the Wakefield (Mass.) Bulletin

from the Wakefield MASSEY Bulletin.
While gentleman was walking down
Pleasant Street the other day he noticed
several English sparrows pecking away
at the tail of one of their mates. AS he
approached the group they all flew away
except one. And that unfortunate one
had his tail frozen into the thin ice. He
was a prisoner. The gentleman freed
the little bird and let him fly away. 1t
appeared as if the sparrows had been
digging away at the ice to release their
captured comrade.

With courage all unbounded,
