We agree with our worthy friend
Mr.. Sargent of Newbury. there should
have been more at so good a mans
funeral. If the Editor will kindly
permit a few lines / have in mind
think Mr.. Sargent will perhaps read
them with interest:
He was homeless, and palsied and old when he
died,
With none who had loved him to watch by his
side,
And cherries and cold came the sleet and the
rain
'Gainst the low, leaky roof and the loose rafting
Yet his lips breathed no murmur, but feebly he
prayed,
To Him who on earth had no place for His head.
He had failed in the gathering of wealth, which
can buy
smiles and batteries while here, and tear when
we die;
Deserted by kndred-forgotton cen them
Forsaken,-but not by the Saviour of men;
For the peaceful assurance that beamed from his
eye,
The treasures of earth, never, never can buy
Twas only a pauper-yet somehow to me
IL seemed that a prisoner from bonds was sci
free;
From the rude pelting storm. and pitiless blast
A wavfarer lone had been sheltered at lastf
That an exile long destined mid strangers &c
roam,
Had been welcomed by harpers tnat hieht " nis

 A Bachelors Highly Interesting Experience
 In the Fluctuations of Housekeeping.
 'I am passing through novel and ex- ceedingly interesting, even if not highly agreeable. experience just now, ," said Q young newspaper man at one of the down town offices this morning. T am going through the tribulatioEs of the housekeeping side of marital life, all though have never yet led bride to the chanccl rail. Yesterday all my folks went away to the scashOrc, leaving only myself, the youngest of the family, ;sld my sister, who is next older than me, to assume the cares of the household. Neither of us has had any experience ill this line, and the -esults bid fair to be amusing. if nothing more, especially in the matter of preparing for breakfast, as both of us are late sleepers. This morning the first break occurred, and thus it happened. The servant is due at about o'clock in the morning, and as am a sound sleeper instructed her to ring the bell vigorously and not to go away if she was not very prompt ly admitted, and also told my sister. if she heard the bell, to awaken me. and would let the girl in Last night I was up till o'clock writing, and con- sequently four hours later was in the 1 soundest of my slumbers when the ice man came and left a cube of his wares on the steps Just afterward the sery- ant came and applied for admission. At first her vigorous rings on the loud gong, which Is only one flight of stairs away from my room, produced no i'm pression on my morning slumbers, but she followed my instructions and con- tinued conscientiously to make that bell startle the whole neighborhood except myself and sister. whose alarm clock also did not have the slightest effect of driving away inconsistencies.
 "At last was partially aroused so thai the ringing of the bell caused me tc dream of fire engines, and in few sec.
 onds all the horrors of 0 destructive firC passed through my reviving brain. and saw myself running and shouting, and
 the engine steaming, and the firemer
 pursuing their heroic work of rescue
 Then-I suppose her arm was tired
 the faithful servant pulled slow, stead,
 strokes, and instantly my dream changed, and found myself on a rail
 way station going to join the family a

 were dispelled, and the stern reality O the occasion was forced upon my un willing mind as I reluctantly jumpet
 up and removed the bars that hinderec , the servants entrance. She was quit cheerful over the nffair and said sh had not been kept waiting fur moro thai is minutes. Truly, the way pf tho hea. ] e1 tha hssss ts uk IEsnhn

Ravage- OF the Animal I'm the Island Of
Jamaica.
United States Consul Eckford at
Kingston, hearing from the American
newspapers that Mr.. Vanderbilt has
imported the mongoose for his estate
near Asheville, y. c., has sent out a
note of warning through a report to
the State Department, and says il will
be well for our Government to profit
by Jamaica's experience, and prohibit
the importation of the mongOOse into
the United States, says the Washing
ton Star. He recOuuts the evil effects
following the introduction of the ami
NAL from India into Jamaica to de-
stroy the rats which infested the sugar
and coffee plantations. They did their
work so we'll and increased so rapidly
that their natural food supply was eX-
hausted, and they began TO prey upon
all small living creatures. All of the
ground birds were wiped out, all
snakes and toads and land crabs.
Newly dropped calves, young pigs,
puppies, game, turtles, all fell victims
of the mougoose, which became q
much worst pest than the sparrow in
America and the rabbit in Australia.
AS n result of the destruction of these
small creatures all insects multiplied
amazingly, until they have become a
pestilence at some seasons, and the
people of Jamaica now want TO eNter-
inmate the mongoose.

The promise Of a storm last night
did not interfere with the attendance
at the Central Union Sunday School
Christmas exercises. There was a
large crowd present, mostly children,
pleasant evenings entertainment.
The management OF the whole affair
was creditable in the extreme. The
children and many Of their elders
were delighted with the stereopticon
exhibition, which was handled by Mr..
Hedeman, with explanatory remarks
by Mr.. COrbett.
The exercises commenced with "A
brief address from e.. NJ. Cooke, the
retiring superintendent. He eX-
planned to the children the nature of
the entertainment in a very pleasing
manner. After he concluded his re-
marks the scholars sang a hymn;
then Mrs. Warmer sang a solo in a
very artistic manner, winning much
applause for her efforts. The large
room was then darkened, and a series
of pictures illustrating the life of the
Saviour, from his birth to the
ascent to heaven, were shown on the
canvas. The slides were excellent ones
and gave instruction to the children
as well as furnishing entertainment.
the audience listened to a violin solo
by William A. Love. The young
musician proved again that he knows
how to handle a bow. He played a
standard composition that was re.
ceived with much satisfaction.
Mr.. Hedeman gave the children
another lantern exhibition and it is
safe to- say that he never handled
slides before a more enthusiastic audi
ence. They simply went wild when
ever q "comic" was shown, and the
appearance OF a dog or n cat was the
signal for fresh outbursts of noise and
merriment. The operator was indul-
gent and satisfied the young people.
Before closing a photograph of Mr..
Cooke and his little daughter Alice
was shown. 1t was greeted with pro-
longed applause. A picture Of Mr..
Wood, the new superintendent, was
shown also and was received in a
similar manner.
Mr.. Cooke then announced that re-
treatments would be served which
was done most expediticusly by many
willing hands. After the ice cream
and cake was served the scholars were
each handed a box OF confectionery.
Then the entertainment was over.
