20 YOU, sweet Sister Alice,
To the little easement door,
nd softly tell poor Maurice,
Mary Desmond is no more.
aut last night she smiled and chatted,
And we thought tha. shewas good;
Tho we heard the boding Raven,
Family croaking in the wood.
y,ut loug Eefore the dawning
Lightly tinged the shifting haze.
N fed the dusky vapors
From the day-gods $ lustr,l gaze,
We knew that Mary Desmond
Would not see the morning light,
trcr we heard the Banshee wailing
Yhro' the watches Of the night.
h fond, sweet Mary Desmond,
Eh,e anf BRILLIANT was your eye
Brighter than the brightest sunbeam
In the sottest summer sky.
Euur voice was like the Throstle's,
IN the low, grey twilight glooms;
md your gently-budding beauties,
Fresh and fair as young May-blooms.
here was something ever round thee,
Like saiuted, queenly light,
That filled one in your presence
With a loving, strange delight.
faithful Maurice was your idol,
Aud his ]ove-words softly stole
.hro' lonely, silent passages,
Into your inmost soul.
Farewell, sweet Mary Desmond,
We shall meet you nevermore 4--aa,
II the breezy summer evenings
Picking shells along the shore.
I'VE shall never wait your cOnings,
When the winter nights ace long,
Eor hear your merry laughter,
Nor sou dreamy voice OF song.
But often in the gloaming,
When the darkling shadows fall,
Ven stream across the meadows
To the little churchyard wall;
Ind kneeling in the twilight.
Where the weeping-willows wave,
Plant a wreath of snow-white lilies,
Ger your lonely, silent grave.
10 now, sweet sister Alice,
70 the little easement door,
And softly tell poor Maurice,
Mary Desmond is no more.
All, deep will be his sorrow
When poor Mary's in the clay;
Summers bloom, or summers sunshine,
Cannot chase his gloom away.
Dark will be his dreams and slumhers,
Ever broken with deep signs,
For his early life was frightened
With the light OF Mary's eyes.
But now their light is darkened,
His dreams of love are Ger,
and MARY, gentle Mary,
Sleeps to waken neYermore!

How He Might Have Avoided Trouble

Old Mrs. Tiddlewig's husband liked
his toddy, and the Old lady was vic
lently opposed to his bibulosity. The
other night Tiddlewig came in slightly
sober and his wife proceeded 10 talk
TO him:
"Now look here, Tiddewig, you're
drinking sgiin and just won't en-
dure it,"
"Wby, my DEAR" he urged, "a little
teddy don't hurt me a particle. On
the contrary, it benefits me and makes
another man Of me altogether"
81 know 1t does, Tiddlewig, and
that's why l object TO it 30 strongly. ]
might stand your getting drunk, but
when it makes another man of you
and still leaves me the wife Of both Of
you, it makes me out a big,mist, and
/ say right here, Tiddlewig, that l
draw the line at bigamy, and you've
got to quit"
If Tlddlewig bad taken the pre-
caution to use Ko-Ko Tulu. his wife
would never have suspected him.

THE TIMERS STRIKE
ON ACCOUNT OF ONE OF THE
ARBITRARY RULES
Adopted by the Contractors, which
They Think Entirely Too
HumIliatiDg.

The timers employed on out of
door work struck yesterday and re-
fused to 90 back TO work until an OBJ
noxious bylaw adopted by the con-
tractors a short time ago is repealed.
There are fifty-two Of the men in the
city and they are all members OF
union which was formed on May 9th
last. They stiifened the wage scale
aud about June let succseded in hav-
ing the nine hour rule enforced. The
averages wages paid are So 80 a day.
There are very few who receive more,
Those employed on cornices get about
So. They were all satisfied with their
pay and had no complaint to make
except on account OF the rule adopted
by the contractors, VINO organized an
ar IS ociation in the latter part of June,
that no timer would be employed by
one OF them who could not show re-
lease card from his former employer.
Mr.. w. d. Parker, the president of
the union, Thomas Dryer, tecretary,
and Albert Robb, a member, called at
the APPEAL office last night to state
their side of the case.
"Our hours of work and the pay we
receive are perfectly satisfactory TO
u.s." they said, "but we don't care to
bs treated as slaves. With that rule
in force we are entirely at the mercy
of the bosses. II our surroundings
happen to be unpleasant, or il any
thing should occur 10 make us desire a
change from one job to another, we
cannot quit like men, demand our
money aud GEEK work elsewhere, but
we are forced into the humiliation OF
asking the permission OF the contract
or to quit him. He can arbitrarily re-
fuse a release card and force us to work
under him or starve. The thing Is
outrageous and we are determined not
to submit to it. But we have no other
reason for the action we took today.
The article in the Ledger, which was
dictated by one Of the contractors,
puts false face on the affair.""

change. The prediction Of the Ma
tional Cotton Exchange last November
pointed to a crop OF 6,650,265. This is
good guessing, and taken in connec-
lion with last years prediction, indi-
Gates that the National Cotton Elk
change system Of iorecasting the crop
is as near perfect as may be. For Nc
vember 1884 it predic'e ell a crop Of
5,726, 1877 bales, and the crop aggregated
5,7u6, l65 bales, not quite 10000 bales
less than the number predicted.
These two accurate estimates follow
ing each other will invest the future
preditions Of National Cotton Ex-
change with great weight.
