in the past fortnight the remains of two
eminent citizens have been cremated in
Buffalo, n. Y, each of whom was more

the cremation itself is conducted with
an absolute freedom from everything
that is repulsive and shocking. Racket.

An Enchanted Princess.

found her deep in the forest,
The beecheS and elms between,
A delicate amber plane tree
Mid masses of bronze and green;
A sorrowful, spell bound princess
Awaiting her lover there.
She said: lie viii know me, surely,
By the veil of my yc low hair.
He seeks me the wide world over,
He seeks me the whole year through,
To loosen the charm that binds me
Ny prince, and my lover truer'
She shivered beneath her foliage
And sighed in the twilight chill:
aye mel wilt thou find me never,
Thy love that thou seekest still:'
Il saw him, chirruped blackbird;
He passed by this very spot;
He is come and gone. o Princessl
He passed-and he knew you not"
The cold wind rustled her branches
Til the yellow leaves fell slow
He is dead and gone, o Princessl
Many year ago"

Baby Still in the Ring.

While a Buffalo family was moving
the mother suddenly missed the baby.
The infant could be heard crying and
the mother finally conjectured that she
was inside of roll of carpet. 1t was
true. The baby had been left in the
middle of the sitting room floor, and
the men who took up the carpet tossed
a breadth over her without noticing
her, rolled her up in it. and stood the
carpet up in the hall. The child when
rescued was punctured here and there
with rusty tacks, and its mouth was
partly stuffed with carpet dust, but
otherwise it was quite hearty.-Detroit
