IN MEMORIAl.

Some time ago we missed from
our midst, enc Of our most respec.
ted and beloved citizens, in the per
son of Mr.. Alphonse l.. Aucoin.
His death cast a gloom over the
entire community and now his de
voted wife, stricken with grief and
sickness, has succumbed to the in
aucnce OF that great destroyer
death. She died Wednesday, June
18th, 1885, regretted by all who
knew her. Ia
As a christian, she did her duty,
both to God and man ; she was pa
tient, loving and kind, to all who
knew her. sfF
Mrs. Aucoin leaves tour children
aud many other relatives, to mourn
her loss.
As it has pleased the Almighty
in His great wisdom, to take away
Il kind and affectionate mother
from her dear and innocent chill
dren, and an amiable friend from
the poor, all we can do, to IS pray
for her, aud revere her memory.
Regrets for her sake are not in
place, for she is now at rest with
her Holy Father, guarded by His
omnipotent arm and rendered imma
culate through His great mercy.
Her deeds of goodness will shine
forth az ornaments Oh that great
day.
Let us try to initiate her patience
and follow her amiable example to
meet her again, in the great be
You'd, where all is joy and peace,
and where neither sickness nor sor
row can trouble us more.

Man that is born of woman is
small potatoes and few in hill.
He raiseth up to-day and flourish
eth like a rag-weed, and tomorrow
or the day after the undertaken has
him in the ice-box.
He goeth forth in the morning war
bling like lark, and Is knocked out
in one round.
In the midst of life he is in debt.
and the tax-collector pursueth him
wherever he goeth.
The baluster of life is full of splin-
ters, and he slideth down it with con-
siderable rapidity.
He walketh forth in the bright SUM-
light to absorb ozone, and meeteth
the bank-teller with sight draft fol
1857.
In the gentle spring-time he put
teth Oh his summer clothes, and a
blizzard striketh him far from home,
and filleth him with woe and rheuma-
tism.
In the autumn he putteth on his
winter clothes and wasp that abid-
eth in them filleth him full of intense
excitement.
He starteth down cellar with an
oleander, and goeth first hastily, and
the oleander cometh after him and
sitteth upon him.
He marrieth a red-headed helress
with wart on her nose, and the next
day her parental ancestor goeth un-
der, with few assets and great liza
billties, and cometh home to live with
his beloved son-in-law.-,Sprague

The Old Attic Room.

1 remember the dear old attic room,
Where / slept when a little boy,
In the farmhouse over beside the hill,
When life was perfect joy.
remember the chairs so old and quaint,
And the bed wherein slept,
And the chest of drawers beside the door,
Where the apples were always kept.
remember well how the early sun
Through the window small would stray,
And how the bird in the tree outside
Would warble his morning lay,
And how my mothers .'Time to get up!''
On my needless ears would fall,
And the unpretentious print that hung
So crookedly ON the wall
I remember the ceiling cracked, aow,nd
Where punches ofpeppers hung,
And the old green curtain that wouldn't roll up,
But in every wild breeze swung.
l remember the barrels with stoyeppes filled,
And various other things,
And the memory of this dear old room
Remembrance also brings
Of the the nights 1 had of innocent rest
What wouldn't give to be
Again. in those rosy, boyhood dreams
A wanderer happy and free2
And ON its carpetless floor TO remIg.
A merry and boisterous boy,
And see my little sister play
With her latest painted toy?
The room was not fair to look upon,
But to me twas a jolly nest,
All, that now as then could lay me down,
Its tired and willing guest,
And dream the dreams that then dreamt
On the night so cool and still,
In the homely bed in that attic room
Tn the farmhouse by the hill!
