The general health of the community has
been better this fall and winter than it has for

that of Mr. Joseph Gowdeu's farniiy, of which

Our schools have been in running order for

l"do net put myself to the trouolt of inquiring
about them, my opinion in regard to the pub
lic school eysteoi being anything but compli

The weather of late baa been variable, with
a prospect of still further vaiiavions of the ele

A slight collision occurred on last Sunday
morning on the f. 11. Ii-, near Wilmorc. It
appears that a few freight cars became detach

run into a train iollowing, tho engineer of

injuries. His name I did not learn.
Bv the way, I noticed in a late number of the
FbkLma.s an "account of a potato pit which con
tained one hundred bcsho'.s, and was said to be
the daddy of all tho potato pits in this couuty.
To tho latter proposition I object, as wo our
selves have two of that dimensions; and we aro
not by any mollis an exception in tliis neigh
borhood. This is tho first of January, JS72 the com
meiiCetncnt of a new year which tor many of

and who know a what is to happen in the corn
in" vear ? But, 1 will not longer dwell ou this
topic. It is a poor picture which is all shade
or all sunshine, and we w ill turn to tho sunny
side and hope for tho bet." And now, ray
frionds, that you may spend this year happily
and have the pleasure before its close of Bteing
our beloved country delivered from its present

Once on a time, when I wr.s a boy
About twelve, with a face all bcr-min with Joy,
I was anxious to know how people (roc married;
So nt the church door one niorniiiK I lai ried
As 1 saw a yroou and bis beautiful bride
Pas into 1 he entrance, by each other's side,
And ( to the altar, quit up the- aisle,
Whiic I only peeped iu the door with a smile ;
Tint I could no more hear a word that winmtil
Than 1 oouid bad I sat on the tomb of the dead.
The K-rooio ke came out along; with ids bride.
And 1 followed after quite dissatisfied.
Then I asked my mother to post me tell how
People uot married if they made n bow t
Or said any words ? or took. any oath ? .
And she said that they did do ail of I htm, both";
Then she (fay me a book and told nift to rad
All about it ; to which 1 most quickly agreed.
Years after it happened that my Uncle John
Had a chopping, and therefore he called upon
Tho boys to ussr.-mbie, oacli one with an f.:c,
To chop, while the U'lJ they would scutch out
tho lhix.
And, lo tell you the truth, wc hud a fbio day.
And, though we worked some, we had bushels
of play.
V"h?n supper wrp over, tho dishes were cleared,
Aud we danced, and we talked, uud wo laughed,
and we cheered.
A bright-eyed younjf lady all day lon had been
fcuch an imp, that w called her "The Fairy
Oucen"';
Her nama was Melisea; and a boy we called
Jako .awake;
Determined that nicht bo -would keep her
Lut, before they went home, we told them o

T.-f'-o-f? tr, while I, with a boo: in my hand.
Said, "Jake, do you lake sweet Melissa o-nii.ht
To be your dear wifoV" and Juke uncovered,
"All riKhtl"
Then quoth 1, "Mc'issn, do you a!?o take -I'o

And sho nnswered, "I do for the rest of rny

BaiA I, "X pronounce you, then, husband and
And homeward thf-y wandered, iu mirth aud in
fcloo,
As Bicriy r.s any young- people could b.
A few summers after. Jake's rich uncle died.
And lift hi ni a farm, ami three thousand beside.
And I told Melissa, said I, "Look 'e tiero,
Ti: half of that's yours, my swe.-t little dear."
So I wride her a letter to forward to Jake,
( 'ouuscliujf him then, for the aood mercy's suke,
Not to buy any stove, tub. curtain, or chair,
( r carpet, or cupboatd, till she could be there.
Cut Jake he replied in ft sul len-hke tone,
And arjjued ihe property all was ids own,
A nd t ho t he would use it just as he miht please;
If she diil n't like that, v; hy I hen she mishtii(.ei;.
Melissa then wrote to me merely to know
1 f Jake didn't marry her some years a-o.
I replied that ho iiid, and that I was there
And said theffood words and the contract was
fair.
And it wasn't a week till n jrcntlcman cam
And inquired of Jake, "Wtat uiijht be your
Piiiiie?"
Jake told him his name as nice U3 could bo.
And the const able said, "Do wu come with me."
What happened. thereafter J really don't know,
Only that Jake paid u thoiu-mia or so.
Well, Meli.-sn she too had a wealthy old nuht

ClTaua J. Mti'r.Ei.v, wifo of Beruaii J. McFee
ly, ag-ed 23 j eure.
To our friend we offer sincere and heartfelt
sympathy in his great and untimely bereave
ment. The loss of a loving- and beloved wife at
any time is indeed at sad dispensation, but when
ouo is taken away in tho very spring-time of
life and from the enjoyment of domestic felici
ty in its happiest and most promisinyr aspect,
the poignancy of the afliicliou is frrcatly en
hanced." .Airs. McFeely was all that a faithful
wife, mother, friend and neighbor could tie, and
having lived an earnest and devout member of
the Catholic Church, she died in the lull hope
of a peaceful eternity, leavinir a bereaved hus
band to mourn her enrly death and an infant
child to miss tho fond caress aud tender care
which only a mother can bestow. May she rest
in peace.
