"That Sweetheart of Mine.

The gold in the naples, the blue in the skies,
The sunshine that's cleaning like wine,
Is the gold in her hair the blue In her eyes,
And the smile-of that sweetheart OF mine"
The green robes Of summer she's now laid aside
And wooes me in purple that's fine,
In winter she'll glisten IN frost lace and gems
And love her-that ssweetheart of mine."
No matter what changes she makes in her
gowns
I'm suited with each at the time,
She's winsome and handsome whatever she
wears
And loves me-that sweetheart of mine"
So gather the gold and the blue of the skies
And kneel before natures pure shrine.
To lay on her altar the emblems, of faith
That have in-that sweetheart of mine"

the most exhaustive and entertaining treat
ment. 1t is by some question whether
this gifted man gives greater pleasure in

latter, affording as it does a finer opportu
nifty for the display of that combination Of
wit and wisdom for which this distinguish
ed speaker is celebrated anu which have
given his contributions to this branch of
literature a worldwide fame, affords
especial delight to his listeners. And this
opportunity Will therefore be eagerly en-
braced by every person interested either in
the attractive subject to be treated, or the
admirable manner in which it will be
handled by so accomplished IA speaker.
The lecture is given for the benefit of
the book fund of the library, and the pro-
ceeds will .all be devoted entirely to that
purpose. The admission will be % cents,
with reserved seats at 35 cents. The hour
is sharp eight.

One sometimes wonders where the
fish are which so often minister to the
pleasure of the gentlemen of this vii.
lage inclined to cold water and piscato.
rial sport. They don't always bring
back fish, though they do look happy
They must do something besides fish.
Perhaps they go away to mediate.
The following verse, a little thing of
his own, expresses the feeling of one,
at least, and it may touch responsive
chord in other hearts:
chow nice to sit and think and fish
And fish and sit and think,
And sit and fish and think and wish
You had another drink"
This reminds us of the plant of the
"Ancient Mariner" who saw "Wster
water! everywhere, and not drop to
drink" But il is not to he inferred
from this that all the fishermen who go
fl ON here go short of water or acquire
such a thirst from excessive fishing
that they drink too much.

There are a number of roads in town
that are in about as bad condition as
they can be for heavy teaming. 1t
was remarked by one teamster over
the river road to East Corinth, that it
was impossible for him to haul more
than an ordinary load for a road in
fair condition. If hundred or two
dollars were spent each year in putting
some firmer substance in the place Of
sand, 1t would not be many years be-
fore there would hardly be poor strip
of road in the whole town. Sandy
roads where heavy teaming is done
should have first attention. The adj
joining towns, we believe, would soon
follow a good example set by Bradford
in mending her ways.
