On Saturday, May Il, at Cranberry
Isles, Asa d. Stanley, aged sixty
six yea S, eleven months and eigh-
teen days, died of dropsy, having
been great sufferer since last January.
He was not in robust health for years,
but bore his sufferings with patience, and
since dropsy developed he was never
known to murmur.
Five months ago his daughter Flora,
wife Of Charles ii. Coulter, the present
mayor of Brockton, Mass, was brought
to her childhood's home and buried.
The family are very grateful to all who
SO kindly rendered assistance through his
long and severe illness since January.
MIR. Stanley leaves a widow, six children,
seven grandchildren, three sisters and
one brother, besides numer US other rela
tives. He was kind hus band father and
friend; an honored and respected citizen,
and many hearts will long cherish his
memory in kind remem brance.
The writer, who has known him in
timately all her life, thinks it no exaggera-
ton to say that good man has been re-
moved from our community, and has gone
to reap his reward.
The funeral was largely attended and
the interment in the cemetery on Spur

A Courtship In a Garden.

A potato went out on mash
And sought an onion bed;
That's pie for me-" observed the squash.
And all the beets turned red.
"Go away" the onion, weeping, cried,
"Your love cannot be-
The pumpkin be your lawful bride:
You cantaloupe with me-"
But onward still the tuber came,
And laid down AT her feet;
"You eaulihower by any name
And IL will smell wheat;
And |, too, am an early rose,
And you I've come to see,
So don't turn up your lovely nose
But spinach at With me"
81 do not carrot all to wed.
So 90. sir, If you please!"
The modest onion meekly said.
And lettuce, pray, have peas,
Go, think that you have never seen
Myself, or smelled my sigh;
Too long maiden have been
For fayors In your rye"
"Ah! spare a cussi" the tuber prayed;
My cherryshed bride you'll be;
You are the only weeping maid
That's currant now with met"
And as the willy tuber spoke
lie caught her by surprise.
And, giving her artiehoke,
Devoured her with his eyes.

An attempt will be made to get a
vote on the Nicaragua canal bill, which
was favorably reported last week, in
the Senate this week, but if there is a
disposition to prolong the debate, the
attempt will hardly succeed. Some
of the best friends Of the bill would
prefer that it be not passed at this
session for one or another reason, al
though they will, of course, vote for
it, if vote can be reached in rea-
sonable time. If it is voted upon, il
will pass by large majority.

The Manila correspondent of Paris

Filipinos "did not expect help from

would end at once". Every human
