work, and other things hanging fromthe walls,
and the general effect was very good.
The tables at which the ladies presided, from
which one could get a toothsome bon bon, and
an infinity of other nice and beautiful things
IN millinery etc., etc, surrounded everywhere
by flowers, presented a most pleasing sight,
everything was artisticallyi arranged, a nd by
whom but the ladies? How could we do with
out them? At any rate as far as bazaars arp
concerned they are indisputably indispensable.
Upon the stage, upon which our embryo Sotherns
and Irvings perhaps Lave trod, ones eyestfeli

my attention. The bar man smiled quite plea
sanity, and twirled his dark mustache, as he
directed my attention to a card which was
hanging up, and one was advised, II humour-
GUS lines, to read 'the tempting Bill of Fare.
then to ''try a blte," after which to shave
some beer" but you were gently asked not to
"get-" Of course no one got so, and
they enjoyed the fun. !.
A friend told me that after he had read the
bill of fare, it had the effect Of creating a glori-
GUS appetite, and he did ample justice to the
things with which he was served, and felt
happy with all the world after. The Post
Office afforded much amusement. l saw o
young man receive a letter, the postage being
only five cents. It must have been a very

contents I was heartless enough to smile.
Nosegays were sold at a very cheap rate q
young lady was tripping lightly around selling
these, and there is no doubt that many hearts

Sweet music was discoursed on Saturday
evening, some ladies taking turn at the piano,
while the cornet was played between whites.
There was a fair gathering, and l was pleased
to notice that the purchasers did not alone
comprise those attached to the Church, those Of
other denominations were also there, which is
only as it should be, in the common cause to
help one another.
Your correspondent also made a purchase
though very trifing in comparison with others
but "every little helps" He received no letter,
bought no nosegay, ate no turkey, drank no
beer; but when a fair creature robed in white, /.
came gracefully up with a smile so sweet and
bright, and asked him, in accents soft and low,
if he would buy a cigar, he was almost hypne-
tised. Could be refuse? No, never, never. .
Rallies were got up and the winners In some
instances returned the articles as a present to
the Church. The sellers were indefatigable in
their efforts to dispose of their wares. I saw
several gentlemen trying to effect sales with an
assiduity worthy of a p~ractised drummer.
The pecuniary result of the Bazaar / under
stand is highly satisfactory, spite of the
Jubilee Singers being here, and it speaks we'll
for the loyalty and zeal of those who have
tried to make it a success, for this it has. been

It must certainly have given much trouble,
but it was a work which all went cheerfully
through a labour of love, and it must be
highly pleasing to the Rector to notice 1t.
