MAX O'RELL. [1848-1903.] (Ars longa, vita brevis est.)
Dear Master of the magic pen, Who wrote to cheer the hearts of men Through Life's most serious issue ; Who held one gospel — cheerfulness, With firm faith knowing it could bless — How this old world will miss you ! The eyes that bum, the hearts that ache Have need, such need, of those who make The day's work light with laughter Of those whose cheeiful pages hold, In spite of modern humour, old Old truths remembered after. Along the wide floor of the sea Grief sent her message on, and we, Youi scholais m a far land, Lay on your place of sleep to-day Fein fiom the bush and wattle-spiay Togethei in a garland. —W. Francis Chambers*
When little birds in their nests disagree, they usually fall out, but there appears to be an extraordinary amount of unity in reference to the wonderful bargains now beang displayed at the American Novelty Stores during the third Yankee Hustle Sale. The ' "hustle" opened last Saturday, and the crowd was there every time. At nearly midnight, Mr. Seaton. the proprietor, wore a worried look. On inquiry, we found he was getting anxious about being in time for church.
