Never in the history of our country
has there been so many bank failures,
mills shutting down and factories
closing up as has been the case dur
ing the past month. Laboring men
and mechanics all over the country
are without work and in many cases
are unable to provide for their starv-
ing families. That such a state OF
things shou d exist is terrible, but 1t
is to be hoped that wise legislation
will so arrange the money tronbles
that all industries will shortly be re-
sumed.-Ex.

LINES OF SWEET CHILDHOOD.

One of the saddest deaths that has
taken place in our town for many
years was that of PAULINE VARINA
MITCHELL, the daughter of the Editor
of the FISHERMAN & FARMER, which
occurred on Saturday morning, the End
inst. She was few days over three
years and six months old-renarkably
precocious in her love of and talent for
music. happy and bright, and so fond
of flowers, that even in her last illness
she kept them constantly near her
pillow.
1t requires more than christian for
titude to surrender our loved ones and
patiently suffer under the direful
stroke of death, but when the affection
comes unexpectedly, bearing away the
sunshine of our household, the sweet
consolation of happy childhood at its
most int eresting and endearing period,
that age when every utterance adds
new charms to budding innocence and
every smile new delight, it is like
tearing asunder every tie to happiness
and life. But like the flowers she loved
her brief lutte life leaves frsgIa nce
and beauty in every memory:
Many a flower in beauty lain,
Where clustered near its soft pune
breath,
The shading leaves hath sought ill vain
To hide beneath the shelf ring heath
Yet peeping through, its modest glance
Hath caught the love of ardent friend
And sweetest fragrance in advance
Bespoke the fairest of it's kind.
Each petal wakes a gentle thought,
Unfolding beauty briefly shed.
When love seems most, the eye hath
caught. ~
It's whispered sweet. All me! tbs dead.
In this, the quiet of the soul,
Ordained to teach the human eve,
That God s best gifts but HERE unfold
To lead us nearer to the sky.
Oh! Pauline dear, sweet gentle flow er!
~ carly pluCheo, SO early gone
Thy little life from natal hour
To us was one bright summer morn.
We heard thee sing thy little songs,
On earth to Us Lo voice so clear:
The tendrills of our heart prolongs
The mem 'ry of them-dearest dear !!
0, loving Saviour, may We still
Catch faintest echo from on high
Our prayerful hearts obey Thy will,
Yet grieving, still on Thee rely.
A FRIEND.
