Last Friday evening, Mr.. John A.
Butler, organist at the Congregational
church, had a surprise party. John
was laying off in slippers, his powerful
mind intent on solving the occult mys-
teries of "The Ticket of Leave Man."
when, ding, ding! went the door-bell,
and in walked some of his neighbors
and John, thinking they too must be
anxious about "The Ticket of Leave
Man." at once pitched still deeper into
the subject. In another minute the
bell again sounded the alarm, and 9th
ers entered-and still they came. John
became alarmed and consulted his
estimable and accomplished lady
as to why this was thusly. She
only knew they were coming, but
why, she knew not. But the
mystery was soon solved by
the presentation to Mr.. Butler of a
beautiful silver set, as a TESTIMONIAL
Of our appreciation of his long and
skiliful services as an organist.

Orchard and Garden.
vet be planted.

Trees may yet be planted.
Trim runners from Young strawberries.
Carrots are not hurt by light freezing.
Grub up vines that are repeatedly bar
rem.
Don't let manure come against the roots
of trees in planting.
For wine making let the grapes hang
as long rs frosts will admit.
No native grape has yet appeared that
may be profitably made into raisins.
Secure the Beets in Time.-Sugar beets
and mangels receive injury from having
their crowns frozen, when carrots and
turnips would not. hence pains should be
taken to harvest the former at least. be-
fore the heavy frosts that are liable to oc-
cur late in the month.
Rhubarb in the Winter. The large root
of this vegetable is a storehouse from
which the nextcrop of leaves and stems
draw their nourishment mostly. Such be-
ing the case only moderate warmth. light
and moisture are needed to produce a
strong crop of pie-making material at any
time in the winter. Roots lifted now and
stored in the cellar for \ month, and then
brought into a greenhouse and surrounded
by soil. will soon produce stems large
enough for use. They might even be set
into large pots aud brought into the kitch-
en-, where. until grown up they would
prove interesting as house plants. after
which the growth could find good use on
the table.

The Value of Imagination.

A poor Irishmen who lay dying in one of
the Cork hospitals during the small pox cpl
demic some winters ago. expressed a wish to
return from his previous perverseness, and
to receive the last sacrament. The wish was
readily complied with. but it was found nee
essary to resort to on amusing expedient
The priest, fearing the contagion, determined
to administer the absolution from outside a
high window near the sick mans bed, to
which eminence he mounted BY means of a
long ladder, and thus performed the last
offices without incuring much personal risk
Then he gave the dying man his blessing, and
babe him think he had taken the sacrament
1t turned out, however. that Pat did not
die. but lived to repent of his hasty CONVEX
sion to his old faith
When time came for paying the tithes, Pat
was 10th enough to betake himself to the
priest.
How much is it?' said Pat.
Ten shillings.' said the priest
is that enough?' asked Pat, holding up the
coin.
The priest nodded assent
We'll, then, think we've ia ken it
