Quebec E0rf1ncAttons Going TO RUINS
Since the withdrawal of the imperial
garrison in 1871 and the transfer Of
all the military property to the Do
minion, Quebec's Notifications, which
cost the British Government such a
large sum-. and which became known
as " the Gibraltar of America" have
been slowly going to ruin. Spasmodic
attempts have been made by the Cam
adam authorities to prevent this, and
a few thousand dollars have been
voted now and again, or when the
interests of the local politicians made
it desirable to throw a sop to unem-
ployed labor, but no systematic or
thorough effort has ever been made
by them to put the Notifications In
proper repair. A few evenings ago
there was a sudden collapse of a large
portion of the wall Of one of the most
important portions of the fortress.
which, without any warning. fell out
into the trench. There was no loss Of
life, although the accident occurred
early in the evening. As a result,
nearly the whole face Of the bastion
will have to be taken down and re-
built.

THE RUNAWAY DONKEY.

Don Quixote yesterday
Broke his rope and ran away
From the pleasant feeding-places
From the old familiar faces.
/ can in imagination
Hear his brazen exclamation
When he finds he's free to wander
Hither, thither, over yonder,
Or, unutterably lazy,
Lie mid buttercup and daisy.
Harness none to fret and basd Inn
And no wagonette behind aim.
But ere long did conscience prick him,
Or the naughty nettle stick him,
Or by darkness oyertaken
Felt he friendless and forsaken?
For he came at evening, weary,
Worn, ~bedraggled, dirty, dreary,
Trailing broken rope behind him,
Back to us who'd failed to find him.
And to-day demurely PAGES
The familiar f~eeding-places.
When-'tis no imagination
Hark! his brazen c~achinnation.
In the simple little story
Find, / pray, an ~allegory.
