Guy Smith took his merry-go-rOund to
the New London fair for the delectation
of the small fry" Our genial young

fair selling his fruit with his usual
spirit
On Saturday last we drove through to
Elyria, from there to LOrain by the cleo
trio railway via JOhnstOwn, the steel
plant and steel plant grove. The elec-
trio railway is certainly grand thing,
enabling one to cover the eight miles be-
tween Elyria and LOrain in a very few
minutes, while it would take an hour to
drive through. The rOadbed is laid out
through the forest much of the way and
the scenery is beautiful, wild and attrac-
tive, and we could say much of the nat
ural andmechanical beauties that pleased
our eyes did time and space permit, as it
is, we must bid the interesting subject
''requiescat in pace"
A social is to be held at the home of
Mrs. j. NJ. Starr on Saturday evening,
September 7. A fine program is being
prepared, consisting OF recitatiOns,
music, tableaux, etc., and the disposal OF
quilts belonging to the Ladies' Society.
The following verses were written by
Mrs. A. W. Denham
IN MEMoRIAM.
In our rustic cemetery, there lie three lionel,
graves,
And above. the sweet, green grass and bright
est iow'rts waves;
And the passIDg breeze, sweet-scented, by thu
bonny wild flowers breath.
Naught, but these standing head stones seen
to speak to us of death.
Yet Death. the mighty, rules supreme within
this lonely spot.
And here we see the ending of our troublous
earthly lot.
Here. where the timid rabbit and brisk ret
squirrel runs.
5 There lie at ease in Natures lap my owl
two tiny sons;
!, Two fair young sons together with a llttl
daughter dear,
Three priceless gems in Heaven; but the cas-
kets still lie here.
Long since are they forgot by all who locke,
on each sweet lace,
These weakly ones, who failed and dropped
too early in the race.
Though others call me mamma" and stan
= beside my knee,
OH never can these little ones be e'er forgo
byme;
For, while live, their images are craven Of
my heart,
: And only with my life itself can they be tor
apart.
And when 1t pleases God that shall dra,
my latest breath,
;; hope to lie beside my dead upon that hill O
! death.
Yet God has given a third sweet son, a bios
som rich and rare,
A little boy with hazel eyes and bright-brow
silky hair,
| hope to keep this little one, trust to hay
him learn
To lisp his prayer beside my knee; dear littl

, lie came to us last summer in the leafy mont
ofJune,
: So. just one year has passed since we receive
: this richest boon.
lie came to sOothe II heart made sore h
strokes from love divine,
And 80 he's very dear to me, this little sol
Of mine;
7 | do not study half so much of those nov
/ gone before.
: try to feel that up In Heaven my treasure
are In store;
And that there shall see them when thi
brief life is past.
, And with my love together there be happ,
all at last.
I've been dreamer here on earth dreame
| shall be
When gates Of pearl" are opened wide aut
Heaven is home to me;
I've made few friends that | can feel are full
worth the name,
And that is just the reason why my life ha
seemed so vain.
. For dreamers dream and here on earth oil
fabrics oft are riven;
But ah! we know Wen realize our brightes
dreams in Heaven.
HOw's This!
