And some toys-tlrv were not new
But they made the sick child happy,
Which has made me happy, t1o.
Only some outgro9u garments
They were all had to spare
But they d help 10 clo;he the needy,
And the poor are everywhere.

This is the twelfth and last number of the
current volume-the last course, so to speak +,
in the feast of good things which the gener-
Gus old Saint has spread before his readers
during the year, and as we usually reserve
for our dessert some specially savory delica-
cies, 80 in this number we find some of the
brightest and cleverest contributions that
have appeared during the year-notably,
the idyllic Garden of Girls" story, by Celia
Thaxter, entitled" Peggy's Garden" in which
the author shows that she is q poet, even
when writing prose. Then there is a charac-
teristically impossible tale by Frank X.
Stockton, the amusing absurdity of which is
sufficiently indicated by the title" The Grit
fin and the Minor Canon" The boys who
have been hard at work playing ball all sum-
mer will enjoy the story by base ball ex-
pert of" How Science Won the Came which
contains practical directions for pitch
ing the "out' and Gin" curves. T.. s..
Brooks tells about another "Historic Girl"
"Pulchoria of Constantinople," and how
she afterward became an Empress. In
the "From Bach to Wagner" series, Agatha
Tunis writes about Mendelssohn, whose
bright and happy boyhood stands in pleasant
relief to the lives of many great musicians.

@. H. Smith, Frank Morrill, and Pat
Shaffer went to Marcellus last week to play
ball with the Marcellus willow wielders
against the Three Rivers club. The boys
did up Three Rivers by score OF 80 to q
in six innings game. Frank Green while
umpiring the game was struck ON the ankle
by a ball pitched by G. II. Smith and has
since used crutches.
James Hall, our efficient and highly
esteemed postmaster, sent in his resignation
about two months ago, TO take effect Oct.
LIST. His successor will be AL. McElheney,
one of the most prominent democratic poll
ticians of the village, and for years one OF
our business men. Mr.. Hall has performed
the duties of his Office in the most satisfac-
tory manner, has always been accommo-
dating and courteous to all, thus gaining
many friends outside of his own party, who
would have been satisfied to see him remain.
Should Mr.. McElheney do as well, and there
is no doubt but he will as he will attend to
the duties of the Office personally, no
one can reasonably find any fault. The
Office will be moved into the front part OF
the harness shop. John McElheney will,
probably, oversee the harness department..

teams standing at the depot waiting to un-
load.
