A Brave Grru.—John W. Purcell, of Cheshire, was saved from drowning, late Wednesday afternoon, by Miss Louisa Hel- ford. Miss Helford is about 18, small of stature, and looks two or three years younger. Purcell was: fishing near the house of Miss Helford’s stepfather, when the ice broke, letting him in in 20 feet of water. His out- ctlies attracted the attention of Miss Helford and her brother, 13 years old. Purcell called to them, saying he could not get out alive, and hade them take a good-by to his wife and children. The girl tore a board from the fence and approached him. At the risk of her own life she pushed the board near enough for him to reach. The boy cut the clothes line from the poles and she cast it across the hole in the ice. Purcell grasped the line and was pulled out, entirely exhausted, by her brother. * Purcell wore a long overcoat and rubber boots miking it difficult for him to help himself

PracticaL Joker PLays Dertrecrive.—A Fredericton man, says a Chatham paper, thought to celebrate his arrival in Chatham by playing a huge practical joke on one of our shopkeepers. So, entering the store, he ann- ounced himself as detective Roberts, and in- formed our friend that he had a warrant for his arrest, at the same time produclng the all- eged legal document. Miramichi took in the situation at a glance, but he looked very grave, said he would have to submit, and beg- ged for a few minutes in which to make prep- arations for his departure. Detective Roberts graciously acceded to the prayer of the pris- oner, and said he would wait for him in the store. The prisoner went to a magistrate, got ajwarrant for the false detective’s arrest as a | fraud, and sent a policeman after him. De-, tective Roberts was arrested, taken to the lockup, placed behind the bars of one of the sweet-scented cages of that institution, and kept there two hours. He has sworn off play- ing practical jokes on Mirmishi.

Notes and Clippings.

—Moncton Times: P. E. Island oats sold in lots in Halifax the other day at 40 and 49 cents per bushel. Of course it would be a great advantage to our farmers to have access to the markets of the United States, where, according to the official re- port, the average price of vats this year is but 28 cents.

—The Toronto Globe, which has authority to speak for the opposition party, says that

unrestricted reciprocity has not been abandoned. Regarding the Laurier circu-

larit says: ‘*Mr. Laurier did recently issue acircular. That document, instead of proposing a retreat from the unrestricted reciprocity position, proposes a new for- ward movement. The restrictionists are, of course, anxious wo know what move the Liberal. party intend. We beg to assure them that the knowledge will not add to their peace of mind. Before the coming season ends their understanding that the Liberals have not the slightest intention to take back track will be complete.” The St. John Sun remarks that the country will wait with a tolerable amount of patience until the proper time for the disclosure of the next set of political opinions with which the Liberals, so called, are to be titted out.

—There are so many deserted farms in the State of Maine, that at a recent meet- ing of Grangers, ex-Governor Robie said: ‘**It is a grave question whether the State of Maine would not be better off if it should encourage the occupancy of its deserted farms, by an entire exemption from taxa- tion of land and stock to those farmers who may cultivate them.

Burial of a Veteran, OF THE CHARGE OF THE LIGHT BRIGADE BURIED WITH MILITARY HONORS.

Tue Herald reports tho funeral at Hali- fax of the late Paymaster Sergeant Danie! Wilson, one of the men who rode into ‘‘the valley of death” at Balaclava, and publishes the following poem :

DANIEL WILSON, DIED JaNuUaRY 197u, 1889.

One of the brave six hundred, Who rode through the Russian guns— While the world looked on, and wondered At the deed of her valiant sons— Has answered the last behest That on soldier ears can fall, And folded his hands in rest At the Great Commander’s call— Not as his hero comrades feil When horses and riders made A tangled heap—under shot and shell In the charge of the Light Brigade ! Where the red hod mortars growled. Who has not heard the story Of the brave six hundred who rode Into death —for England’s glory ? He had part in that gallant race— Wher duty clasped hands with death, And so few came back to the starting place Unharmed by the foeman’s scathe, Only a lad—but an English lad For the old land’s honor keen — What was his life if its loss could add To the glory of home and queen? Where the gallant leaders led life followed. Death passed him by, Though under the starlight—cold and dead, His chieftians and comrades lie ; And he came to our western land, And died in our town today. Almost the last of the glorious band Who rode back through the blood-stained way. Let the coward fleey and the timid lag He faced the bellowing thunder ; To follow his leader, and guard ‘‘ the flag ” He rode through the death rain under One of old England’s hero sons. May she never such children lack ; Cover his breast to the roll of guns With the dear eld Union Jack. And fame can offer no dearer wreath Than this—when his grave is made— ‘‘He rode that day through the valley of death In the charge of the Light Brigade !” Jan, 22nd, 1889. uJ: KE i:

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR,

inmates of the Poorhouse.

Sixn,—I wonder whether any of the readers of Taz Examiner who are living in peace and plenty, surrounded by the com- forts of a home in which they breathe an atmosphere of love and joy, have ever asked themselves how it would seem to be at once bereft of home and friends, and to find themselves infirm and helpless, withvtt any means of support, and altogether alone in the world, with every door, sxcept that of the poorhouse, closed against them, there to live day in and day out ina dreary monotony which must be felt 1m order to be realized—a monotony which can scarcely be said to be broken untii the death ange! comes. This is a sad picture to eontem- plate, but for the inmates of the Poorhouse in Charlottetown a still sadder reali.y; and the bare floors and bare walls and general aspect of poverty which pervades the place are altogether too suggestive of the appro- priateness of the name which the institution bears. I think a visit to the place wil] be sufficient to convince any one of the truth ofthis. It is not a place on which the city can look with pride and say, ‘‘ See whet we have done for our aged, helpless and home- less poor.” It does seem as if something ought to be done to make life a little pleasanter for those whose lot is,at the best, such an unlovely and unenviable ope, and whose time on earth must, at the longest, be but short. Is the city so poor that noth- ing better than tin cups cgn be afforded them at the table, and that all the sur- roundings must be in harmony with the appearance of the dingy tin pints. It ought to be sutlicient to call the attention of those in power to the matter, in order te have the condition of things bettered m some degree at least. And apart from the duty of the Goverament with regard to it, might not an appeal be made to Him who own as Master Him who ** went about doing good,” and who said: ‘* Inasmuch

as ye have done it unto one of the least of these, ,my brethren, ye have done it unto me.” We sigh for great missions sumetimes, forgetting

that He has said, ‘‘The poor ye have always with you,” and forgetting into how many darkened lives we can let falla gleam ot sunshine that will be reflected back in our own. Think how much an a@ccasional visit, 3 warm handclasp, a word of cheer, a little chat about the outside world, a word of Him who ts the Way to that upper and better one—would do for these lonely ones whose remnaat of life, bereft of the light vf love, and the faces°of loved ones, is, a3 far, as this world is concerned, a veritable ** sitting in darkness.” It is not necessary to be rich in order to d » this, and this done, other things would, perhaps, suggest them- selves. Aud if thus the dirge in sore of these poor old hearts could be changed into something like a song, would not that be reward enough ? UMepRa
