GOODWIN SMITH IS YEARS OLD.

Toronto. Ont, Aug. Professor
Goodwin Smith, one of the adopted
sons of whom Canada is most proud,
celebrated his eighty-ifth birthday
today. From England and from many
parts of Canada and the United
States messages of congratulation
poured in at "The Grange" where the
genial publicist and historian has
made his home for more than thirty
five years.
Born in Reading, England. August

high position of regius professor OF
modern history at oxford, which he
held from 1858 to 1866. In 1868 he
went to the United States, and for
three years filled the chair of lecturer
at Cornell University on English and
constitutional history. In that year
he removed to Toronto, but until a
few years ago he still retained a nom

life in Toronto has been devoted to

and all the higher duties of citizen.

The Grange" was built in 1917 and
was then on the outskirts of the lit
tie town Of York. It still has the at.
mosphere of an English country house,
though the roar of traffic OF large
city is about it. There in its spacious
rooms Prof Goodwin Smith spends
his days in pleasant labor The years
have brought many changes and have
carried away many of his cherished
friends, but the sage of the Grange
still has a cheerful outlook on life
and enjoys remarkably good health
for a man of his years.

as $4,000 plain American days" The

less than half as long as ours.

Since we laid you down TO rest,
And we feel your angel spirit

We must learn to live without you,
Through the changefUl years to come {;
Oh, how sadly we do miss you
In your boyhood's happy home.
Vacant Is your chair. our dear one,
In the home you loved so well;
And our hearts do sadly miss you,
Though in Heaven you safely dwell.
Taken in your early manhood,
When your heart was pure and light;
Though at times our hearts grow
weary
With you all is ever bright.
Loved ones, left so sad and lonely,
Look beyond this vale of tears
To the mansion, bright and lovely,
Where your dear one never fears.
Sorrows dart will never pierce him,
Disappointment never come;
He will never taste life's NORWOOD
In his bright Celestial home
Mother dear, whose sad heart yearn.

When your earthly work is ended,
You too, then will share his joy.
Happy then will be the meeting
With the loved ones gone before,
When you reach the shining portals
