The person to be envied most
In this eventful life
Is not the one who counts his gains
Afar from storm and strife:
Nor yet the potentate who wears
a crown upon his brow;
1t is the man who stands around
And tells the others how
And If the project finds success.
The benefit hen share;
And If it faI, hen simply say
Twas none Of his affair
He joins the triumph every time
And lodges every row,
The man who simply stands around
And tells the others how
| would not be a warrior great
Nor hold a sceptered sway;

Emotions grave or gay
II fate would graciously consent
My choosing to allow,
Id be the man who stands around
And tells the othera how.

A Party of Gentlemen and Ladies
Being Made Up for the Paris
Exposition.

AS we have heretofore noticed in our
columns, party of ladies and gentle
menis being made up in our city and
county to visit the Paris Exposition,
next June. The party is being made
up of professional men, teachers,
business men, &C., &c. None will be
included who are not reputable per-
sons, and the list already includes some
of our best citizens. The trip will be
made for Sl00, from Montreal back to
Montreal, including ocean passage, r.
r. fare to London and Paris, hotel and
all necessary travelling expenses, for
the thirty days to and from Montreal to
Paris.
The vessel will start from Montreal
and return to that port, and the tourists
can take the fascinating trip down the
St. Lawrence, if they desire, enroute
to Montreal or on their return. Any
one of the party can take side trips to
Switzerland, Italy, or other points in
Europe at their own expense and re-
turn at any time from Paris to Mon
treal, on the 800 ticket. The trip
will afford rare opportunity for a
summers recreation. For particulars
those desiring to make the trip,
should write to Mr.. G. w. Bartholo-
new, who is making up the party.

other modern conveniences.
Mr.. Grabiel's friends in this, his old
