There are great doings with Mr.. Per

ties going out TO the cemetery undertook
TO 20 hy the old paths: taking first che

when they arrived near the bend of the
road they found their steps impeded by
an obstruction in the shape of Il pile of
dirt several feet high aud which even an
antelope could not climb, SO straight up
and down it was. So they turned back
to the road leading. past H. G. Perrine,
Jr.'s residence, but determined to take
what they always considered the short
cat' to the cemetery. they struck into a
a path on the left and again attempted
to reach the other road. "Fhis is all
right" said one of the party who was
carrying "A basket of plants, when 10! Is
it?," exclaimed anoher one, as a lot of
bushes lay piled in their way But
there is nothing like perseverance, so the
first party struck, into a narrow path
and pushed his way through the bushes
growing on both sides of him aud the
others following their leader. saw u trail
of hyafinth blossoms which had been
torn off by the bushes in his way.
But they struck the road all right aud
after all they had gained very little. of
any, by going that way, for it brought
them on so near the other road after all
but being determined to conquer they
struck into Il path which brought them
into the old path along the side of the
cemetery at last. They returned by a diff
ferent route however for the conclusion
arrived at was (as said before they had
not gained anything by the extra efforts
made to have their own way in SPITE of
the owner of the lad.
Everything was SO changed, but un-

to that part of the borough when the lots
are sold and houses erected on the spot
where SO many have enjoyed the songs of
the b rds aud picking wild flowers,
among them the trailing arbutus, as they
passed through the piece of woods he

and cemetery and it will be greatly
missed by the lovers of romano ;of which
I hope we still nave many left despite
their appearing scorn for such things.
Mr.. Perline is having everg reen trees
planted along the new road which will
make it Il thing of Leauty, but will not
give much shade in summer time. 10
