WE ONLY PLAYED AT LOVE.

We only played at love, you 50,
And yet today the memory.
Like faded tea roses scent to me

Left out upon an afternoon,
Or as a wnltzer hears a tune
Amidst the may.

Because the stage work had il 50;

Remembered, make our pulses stir.
Nor even wisdom can demur
To call them treasure

I'm glad we played at love you see,

Condition of Canadian Crons.

Reports as to the condition of crops in
Manitoba and at many points in Ont rio
are published at Toronto. AS Whole the
reports are satisfactory. In Manitoba
wheat will be an average CROP, barley two
thirds of cror, and oats poor crop.
The situation is not all that could be de-
sired, but there seems no good ground fo-
the disparaging reports that have been
circulated. The reports from points in
Ontario are generally satisfactory. Fall
wheat will be good average crop, except
IN Il low lands, where serious injury was
done by the June rains. Barley promises
a good yield and oats fair crop. The
corn crop seems to be failure, while the
hap crop is heavy and we'll saved.

z he announcement that tho notes OF the

the all-absorbing topic of conversation IN
mercantile circles there a few days since.

CO the embarrassed firm amount to neatly
$4.0o0,0o0, which, it was thought. could
be more than covered by the resources
when :aa latter were in shape to he in
meiiate:y available.
The absence Of Lewis Bros. 4 Co. from
their place Of business during the foe
noon gave rise to the supposition that
they were endeavoring to make arranee-

was understood that if the firm could re

The firm is one of the largest in its line of
