“TO ARMS!”

The London Telegraph publishes a poem by Alfred Austin, poet laureate, “To Artma-.” The following are two of tue stanzas:

‘From Eoglish bamlet, Irish hall, Welsh hearth and Scottisu byres,

Tiey throng to show that they are still sons worby of their sires ;

That what these did wertill can do, that what they were we are,

Whose fathers fought at Waterloo and died at Trafelgar.

Shoulder to shoulder see them stand wher ever menace be,

To guard the lordship tae of land and tri- dent of the sea.

Nor in the parent isle alone, spring squad- rous from the ground,

Canadian shore and Austral zooe with kindred cry resound ;

From shimmering plain, and snow-fed stream acro-s the deep we cowe, Seeing the British bayonets gleam,

hearing the British dram ;

~ ® = 1 Foot in stirrup, bilt io the hand, freemen

to keep men free. All, all will help to hold the land while England guards the cea.

It was a sad Xmas for the poor Grit; !

Mr. Amos venkins is spending his holidaya with friends in Bethel.

Mr. J. W. Yoang, the new principal of Spriog Park School, paid us a briet visit last week.

The prize offered last fall by a city buyer for the heaviest geese, has been won by Mr. Frank Mutch, whose fise flock averaged sixteen pounds.

Mr. Ralph Logs, Keppoch, spent a few

days recently with his China Point triende.

He brings the good newathat “Gritism is f*sc disappeariog from his locality,’

and no doub: our friend is doing his |

share towards bringing the benighted ones ts the light.

We have much pleaeure in extending a cordial invitation to Sir Louis to pay us apvother visit, as the Covservatives” are anxious to tender bim a baoquet for assiet-

The camel is a beast of great strength and endurance. Nothing hurts it until the proverbial “last straw’’ is added to lis burden. The human digestive system is very muchlike a camel. It is really as~ tonishing how much abuse it will stand. Sometimes, however, something worse than usual will be eaten, and will go through the stomach into the bowels, and there it wil) stick—tha:’s constipa~ tion. Nine-tenths of all sickness is due to constipation. Some of the simples: «vinptoms are coated tongue and foul breatt. dizziness, heartburn, flatulence, eallownese, distress after eating, hea'’:- aches and Jassitude. A little thing will eanse constipation, and a little thing will relieve i‘. Dr. Pierce’s Pieasant Pellets are a certaiu cure for constipation. They are tiny, Sugar-coated granuals, mild and natural in their action. There is nothing injurious about them. Sold by drug-

gisis.

DesRoches, W. Curley, G. Jeoneessey and B. Wynne, all of whoiwn did exceedingly well. In “Ihe Little Baker” Misses M. Morgan, L. E'monds, Maud A. Murphy, F. Curley and B Knight had the leading parte, which they sustained with much cleverness. Mies G. Griffin’s revi- tation wae also good. The accompant- ments were all played by the Sister Superior. The stege was artistically dex corated.

CoraL Service.—The Coral Service | in the First Methoaist Church last even- |

ing was a grand success. Not alone the singing, but the justrumental music, was magniticeat, The Cantique “Noe!” was eung by Mrs. W. H. Watts, whoe rich alio voice charmed ker bearers. Mise Collings sang tbe “Star of Bethlehem” in her own pleasing manoer, The elaborate choruses, “Hallelujah” and “Brightest and Best,” were admirably rendered, inthe latter the trio by Mies Webster and Messrs. J. A. Moore aad J. Kk. Davison beirg particularly fine. Of Prot. Waits’ performance on the organ they were splendid His rendition of

Offertoire in D, by Batiste, was exce d§-

ingly fine. Toe service closed with “Gua Save the Queen.” The programme was not stricily adhered to, as eomeof the choir were nit in the city tij] the Priaoce:s arrived.
