although almost unknown In this city,
has established reputation elsewhere

both are well known as first class
artists. The entertainments will no
doubt be worthy of the patronage Of

His Last ent.Mindedness.

A friend sends us the following Incl
dent as having happened in a neigh
boring village: ~ would like to tell
you Of an incident of absent-minded-
ness that cured school-master entire
ly of this often-comical mental defect
iveness. The bell was ringing for
school and the masters wife wanted
pail oil water and hod Of coal. 10
save time the master strove to get both
the water and the coal at the same
time. He drew the water from an old
fashioned well, and getting his hod
filled with coal entered the house with
his hands full He walked up 10 the
sink and placed the hod of coal where
the water-pail was usually kept, and
taking the pail of water into the sit
ting-room poured it into the stove.
The Kissing steam blew open the stove
doors, issued from the coal-chamber
and every seam in the stove, scorched
the master, put out the fire, and filled
the house with steam.
'.Amid it all issued the agonized
shout of the schoolmaster: Blast my
eyes! I've made another mistaker He
never made another one. In the week
that he was done up in linen bandages
and goose grease his mind as we'll as
his body was restored to healthy con-
dition, and now he says: Absence Of
mind is a phase of idiocy Of which .
sensible man ought to be heartily
ashamed. "-N0rWich Bulletin.

The Scent of N Flower.

The scent Of the flower is wonderful thing

spring;
so subtle, SO soft. so rcsistless its power,
No monarchy rules like the scent OF u flower.
Some odors so blend with past happier years
They move us like melodies breathing through
tears:
For they bring back the faces and forms that
are cold,
gold.
A fragrance cxhales from flower that !
know,
Dear pledge of love in the sweet long ago.
When tastes were more simple, and purcr our
And gifts of fresh blossoms were holier
treasures.
One eve when the dew on the leaves glittered
He prodored tho prize with tender Good
Aud my spirit grew faint with ecstatlc emo
tion,
For felt in that flower lay lifetime devo-
ton.
He is gone; yet the scent of that delicate
Still holds me with all the old passionate
And oft my sick heart would lie down in
despair
But that mercy divine melts my sorrow In
prayer.
"Consider the lilicsi" Lord. grant us to be
By the field and the garden brought nearer to
Thee.
To read In sweet blossoms Thy goodness and
And an infinite love in the scent of the flower
