EvICTED AFTER o6 YEARS.

A pathetic scene was witnessed =
Tabard street, London, recently, when
from Fox's buildings Miss Brown an
old dame who has lived there ever
since she was born-S6 years ago
was evicted. A good deal of sympathy
was expressed for her and when the
police arrived at the house there were
cries of "Shame!" from the neighbors.
The landlords agent states that he
was compelled by the sanitary author
tiles to take action owing to the con.
dition of the house, and earlier in the
day the eviction order was applied for
and granted at Tower Bridge police
court.
The front door was opened when
the landlords collector knocked, and
he, with two constables, entered, fol-
lowed by man whose duty it was to
put the furniture and effects into the
street. Miss Brown, with sad ex.
preston, watched her belongings
placed outside.
Come, granny" said the constables,
you must 60 now; the place must
be done up" But she shook her head.
mo; this is my home, and here will
stay" That was always her answer.
She went into the garden and sat
upon bench and when at last every
thing was gone she was led outside.
The house was padlocked against her
and she sat in a chair under the win
dow. There were tears in her eyes.

an has an income Of IL shillings a
week and that neighbor will look
after her-unless she can be induced
to enter the infirmary.

The Singer Of Beauty.

The poets Of power and passion
Are leaders and lords in the van;
They help us to forge and to fashion,
They teach us to plot and to plan.
Oh. they are the strong ones. the smiteea
The seers and the prophets OF wrath.
Who summon the swords OF the fighter
To clear for our progress q path!
But what shall be said Of the singer
Whose song has no purpose or plan3
The bard who is only bringcr
OF Joy TO the spirit OF man?
Shall he be despiscd and negle :ted
AS useless OF vicious or vain:
Shall he be rebuked and rejected.
And silenced with scorn and disdainS
All. no. let him sing, let him fling 10
His song without purpose or art;
The lark does not stir us or sting u.
And yet he is dear to the heart.
All praise to the poets of duty
Who rouse US to wrestle with wrong.
But here's to the singer of beauty
And here's to the lit OF his song!
