NOCkNlIIc AuVOCulD.
Despite the lamentable failure of the assess
ment bill, the session of 1884 has run closer to
the will and wishes of the people than any
session for years. 1t has been more free from
scandals than many we can recall and the
work accomplished, while pursued upon con-
sentative lines, will result in great public
benefit. 1t has not been eXtravagant, and the
expenses attending it are about the same as
those of the last session when the fact that the
present session carried a deficiency of $4,000
from the session Of 1892, is taken into consid-
Grafton.

And will accept thee, saith the Lord."-From

In this world of care and pain,
Lord, thou wOuldst no longer leave him.
To the sunny heavenly plain
Thou has now with joy received him
Clothed in robes of spotless white.
Now he dwells with thee in light.
He died to SIM he died to care,
But for n moment felt the rod;
Too pure for earth his spirit fled
Unto the kingdom of his God.
And now no sigh of anguish sore
Will heave his little bosom more.
His peace is sealed, his rest is sure,
His SuffcringS now are DER;
The sea is calm, he rests at last
On the happy heavenly shore.
