To Frank N. Mason.
CALLED HOME.

He has passed away like gentle breath,
And his eyes are closed with the sleep o
death
The leaves on the trees will luttcr and fall
And the drifting snow will cover all,
But Frank will peacefully, calmly rest
Forever happy by angels blest.
just in the spring of manhood,
Tender and loving, wise and good
All, too good for this sinful earth,
Only the angels knew his worth;
SO they called him unto them,
Decking his brow with diadem
Better to smile when such a life
Gives mp the battle of earthly strife.
Better to know that his tasks are done,
Trials ended and glory won.
Tears are vain when soul so bright,
Wings its way to the gates OF light.
Frank has passed away
But his sweet, good will,
Like a fragrant odor, fingers still
The tender lessons that memory brings,
The mantle of Patience DER us filings,
We learn to follow the path he trod,
To be more like him who has gone TO God.

Amusements.

The concert at the Opera House on Tuesday
evening drew only fair sized house. 1t was
not as successful as was expected. The Ia
dies on the programme having just come
west from the eastern states were unfortu-
nately distressed by Threats totally untitled
for effective work; and consequently the pro
grammc lacked that life and spirit which the
same company could have thrown into such I,
programme under better circumstances. We
trust we shall be able to hear them again
when in bctt,r voice. The ladies, Misses
Jordan and Harrison, are genuine artists, and
we are inclined to envy the Streatoc people
next week who will no doubt hear them at
their best. The Arions were excellent, of
course, and Prof. Stokes, in his violin obliga-
to, and Miss Bassnctt, pianist, added new
laurels to their local reputation as accom-
plishcd musicians.

Messrs Holland and Dwight, now in the
city working on the new Directory of Ottawa,
have perfected their arrangements and will
this morning begin the work of canvassng
the city for the book and its contents. As
soon as the council has determined whether
the streets shall be renamed or not, they will
begin the work Of numbering the houses.
The plan suggested in the council is to renum-
Der all but the best known streets by numer-
ais; for example naming north and south
streets streets, and east and west streets ave
nues, or rice versa, and then numbering the
houses on the decimal system, 100 numbers
to the block. This will commend itself as
the best way of numbering and is the custom
generally of all larger cities As we have
said heretofore, Holland Directories are stand
ard, and the work will be as well done in OF
tawa as we know it has been done in Aurora
lately, as well as other cities.

recently in Bloomington, but returned here a
