1 am not yet out of my teens"
My rivals say / am older,
But know their little scheme.
My eyes and hair are lovely brown,
Ny cheeks are chestnut hue,
My mouth is a nice big rosebud,
With white teeth smiling through.
One hundred and twenty pounds
weigh,
Ny form is nice and neat,
A glove, size six will fit my hand,
A four shoe fit my feet
Just sixty five inches tall
i am altogether smart,
Have a disposition kind and good,
And a great big loving heart.
am just a little lonely,
AS time does onward roll,
That's why am not so jolly,
long for kindred soul.
Boys would like to tell you,
You ask why do delay.
Never put of till tomorrow.
What should be done to-day.

Mr.. Editor:
We send a few words from
the Governors home, the man who has
stood by us SO firmly for the pl otec-
ton of the Lunenburg prisoners.
Our people are trying to look up, but
they have more la-grippe than grit.
Business is dull, but our people know
very little about hard times if 1 may
use the words of the planet when
speaking of the race as a whole.
The work at the LIST Baptist Church
keeps alive, The prayer meeting led
by deacon III. Hawkins last Wednes-
day night was enjoyed by all present.
Brother Hawkins is about A years of
age. He heard our pastor, Rev. w. J
Hackett preach on reading some time
in last year and at that time be had
very little knowledge of reading let
tiers AID books, but he commenced
studying from that time and at pres
ent can read very we'll in the new Tes-
lament.

Leonard were in the Police Court yes
terday morning. The father was there
on the charge OF drunkenness, and the

1t seems that Leonards father is much
attached to the son, and takes him out
with him at night At 2 o'clock yesterday
morning the two were arrested. The
father was in the barroom. and the son
was patiently waiting for him outside.
Justice Crutchfie d continued the charge
of drunkenness against the father until
the 9th, and sent Leonard TO the re-
formatory for the present Mr.. Il. Wyatt
Grady, an uncle of the boy, offered TO
adopt him, provided his father would
sign the necessary legal documents COM
hitting his son entirely to the care Of
the uncle. This will most probably be
done, in event Of which the boy vii re-
main at the reformatory but a short
while.
