ciated. The following poem. The Discoverer' '
by Edmund c. Stedman read by the Rev Mr.
Roche:
! have a little knsman
Whose earthly summers but two
And yet "A Yoyager Is ne
Greater than Drake Frobisher
Than all their peers together!
He is brave discoverer
And far beyond the tether
OF them who seek the frozen pole
Has sailed where the noiseless sIirges roll
Ay. he has travelled whittier
a winged pilot steered his bark
Through the portals of the dark
Past hoary Mimir's well and tree
Across the unknown sea.
Suddenly in his fair young hour,
Came one who bore n flower.
And laid il his dmpled hand
With this command:
''Henceforth thou art rover,
Thou must make n voyage far
Sail beneath the evening star
And wondrous land discover
With his sweet smile innocent
Our little kinsman went
Since that time word
From the absent has been heard.
Who can tell
How he fares answer well
What the little has found
Since he left us, outward bound?
Would that he might return
Then we should learn.

Among master masons and contractors It is ex
pected that there will he lively and close bidding

Contractors owning their quarries will have the
privilege, it Is und erstood of dressing the stone

the cost of the piers materially.

piers of masonry and concrete located as follows:
