These: are the words and phrases which floated around the creek on Monday morning. It happened that Tim and his best girl went out driving on Sunday evening to View the landscape and several acres of white beans the former had planted on “ Clear View” farm. When returning a thunderbolt descended near where they were seated in the buggy, knocking the fence and a. large elm tree into matchwood, and burning all the hair from the horse’s tail as clean as if shaved by the Brickville barber. Tim is quite nervous since, but still keeps planting beans around the port. B URN T RIVER The weather is exceedingly wet.

It is the property of Messrs. McKee ti: Glass of Little Britain, and with a full head of steam is expected to make at least 25 miles an hour, on a calm day ; 15 miles in rough weather. When the steamer was put in the water the designer took his place in the bow and tried to look brave, but all the time cautioning his partner "not to push her out too far.” They had neglected to put in ballast, and on tkb first roll of the boat Jim took to the water and swam ashore. It was decided that the launching was not a success, and was postponed for a few days. plenty of ballast being put in the hold in the meantime. She now floats as steady as a manâ€"of-war.

My dear children,â€"â€"You have had con- ferred on you this morning a great favor. the greatest favor which Almighty God could bestow. You have received for the first time in your lives your Lord and Saviour, J cans Christ. You have tasted, not bread alone, but the body and blood. soul and divinity of Jesus Christ. Your souls are filled with the grace of God, for God himself has come into your hearts, and will dwell there as lon as you keep yourselves free from morta sin. Strive always to keep your hearts free from sin, that your God may dwell always with you. The holy communion gives not only graces for the present, but will for the future. God‘s presence will make you good, make you pious and virtuous. Let this daybe for you the happiest day of your lives; for you have not onlv received the sacrament of the Holy Eucharist, but there are still greater graces in store for you for future use. I am now going to administer to you a sacrament, which like baptism you only receive once in your lives. This sacrament is confirmation, which will make you strong in your faith. and make you strong and perfect christians. In the sacrament of baptism the gift of faith is implanted in your souls. and confirmation will make it grow and bear fruits. You know when we plant a seed it does not bear fruit at once; we must have heat and light and sun ; we must water it in order that it may grow to produce its fruit. This is what confirma- tion will do for your faith. In this sacra- ment you receive the seven-fold gifts of the Holy Ghost, which will sanctity your souls and prepare you for eternity. In holy communion you receive God the Son. but in confirmation you receive God the Holy Ghost as well as the Son. You know that the three divnne persons have differ- ent ollices to perform. God the Father. tl‘e author of all, creates, God the Son redeems, and God the Holy Ghost, the third person. sanctifies. Thus the Holy Ghost in this sacrament of confirmation will sanctify your souls and prepare you for the battle of life. The seven-fold gifts are first "wisdom", which will give you an understanding in the ways of God and teach you to make a proper use of them for God. There are many persons who are , I‘VHe about the things of this world, but" l v» he are very foolish about the things that 1 concern their souls. The second is “under- istanding", which will give us the light to lknow the meaning of our religion, and lsee things in a clearer wav than we have1 lhitherto done. The third is “counsel", which will aid us when we are in doubt; we are not always to depend on our own “judgment, and to whom should we look; but to the Holy Ghost. who will enlighten ‘ us through this gift. Fourth is “fortitude", ‘ which will make us strong in the faith; make us have the courage to profess our faith, and. not be afraid or ashamed of practising it. There are some weak chris- tians who are afraid of being made fun of if they make the sign of the cross or pray 3 or. act plously; well this gift of fortitude Will strengthen you. so that you may be; ready _to give up, if necessar , even your very lives rather than deny esus Christ. The fifth gift is "knowledge," which willi teach you all the truths of your holy reli-l gion. The sixth is “piety”, which will make you lead good lives, will give you the spirit of prayer, of devotion, in a word make you all that God could wish you to be. The seventh and last is the “Fear of the _Lord.” The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. This gift will make you drea to do wrong, to commit sin. It is implanted in your souls and you should try to keep it renewed from time to time. You know when you first go to commit a crime you tremble at the thought of it. but should you repeat it the second time you will feel it a little less, and should you continue in it you grow more careless and thus stifle that fear of God in your souls until you lose all thought of its resence.- Well refresh this “Fear of the or ” in your hearts and you will thus avoid sin. I shall now invoke the Holy Spirit to descend on all that are to beconflrmed, and beg that it may enter their souls and sanctity them. His Lordship, after ‘conflrming them, asked the children to ma e a. declar- ation of their faith in saying the Apostle‘s Creed. In the afternoon at three o’clock the renewal of the baptismal vows and enrolling in the s_c_applar_ took place. FIRST COMMUNION AND CONFIRMA- TION AT ST. MARY'S. On Sunday morning last a large congre- gation gathered to witness the first com- munion and confirmation of the children.

The shareholders of this bank, on the occasion of its twenty-eighth annual meet,- ing, held on Wednesday last, were gratifi- ed by an exhibit of the year's business which showed the best net earnings of any for half a dozen years. These amounted to $205,: :26, equal to rather more than 13 2-3 per cent. on capital. Of this sum, $180,000, representing 12 per cent., was divided, and the sum of $15,000 was written off bank premises. The remaining $10,000 brought the balance at credit of profit and loss up to $42,714. The improved aagregate of earnings is dOUbtlcSS owing in part to the betterment in the trade of the country generally, which prevailed during a large part of 1898; but we must not omit to notice that it results also in part from an increase in the business of the bank, whose deposits were increased two and a quarter millions during the year, and whose total assets show a growth from $17,671,000 at the close of April, 1898, to no less than $19,956,000 at the same date this year. The bank's deposits have grown of late in a remarkable way. In 1895 they were $10,145,000, in 1898 they were $13,037,- 000, and now they are $15,294,000. We observe that the readily available assets held amount to more than $6,000,000. and this not counting call loans of $2,415,000, which do not appear separately in the bank's statement to its shareholders, be- ing lumped in with the discounts of $13,524,000. The exhibit is a. very good one. and the shareholders might well express their satisfaction.

Ingle occupied his space while he was away. A by-law was now brought in amending another. This new legislation forbids driving too fast or obstructin any crossing by rigs or ani- mals. It so says people shall not lead or drive anv animal on any of the town paths or walks zenerally used by pedestrians. Then the axe falls on all manner of con- veyance, except the baby carriage, which of all devices for artificial locomotion is alone permitted to traverse the sidewalks, So thorough is this prohibition that Ald. Lennon. in a fine staccato passage, declared thata man would not be allowed to travel the sidewalk in his boots. With Arctic tem- peratures in mind this was certainlv a disquieting possibility, but the dissenting alderman was appeased by Ald. Horn's assurance that the police regulations would direct these ollizers how much of the edict was to be enforced. The statute requires that all shall be forbid or none. Ald. Crandellâ€"“ Yes, your are always puiling back. Your own department is away behind. You are to blame. Mind your own business.
