POOR BILL MAYNOR.

1t being high water, BILL MAYNOR
went out with the flood. BILL was a
Durham character, and all men knew
him. He loved his liquor and he always
paid for it. He was a queer and peculiar
character. Had DICKENS met BILL he
would nave had the leading character for
a novel. Even the plot would have &C
companied him.
But, just as he was expecting to do
some work down in another county,
Death, the grim and grisley thing which
calls upon you when you least expect
such things, knocked at his door and
BILL asked it in. And hen when il got
ready to go--BILL accompanied it.
With many Of his wonderful traits
there was one that all men knew. He
paid his debts promptly-and made some
money.
This is because we knew the man in a
way that struck us as funDy-that we
write these lines-he asked us to, not
long ago, and if it is highland it is we
knOw-we drop them on his tomb. May
he be dealt with more kindly than he
dealt with himself-and that is all.
