Now the days are long and warm, the f&rnace now may rest; and Billy S., the fireman, may snooze his very best. Billy IS an old Jack Tar; to niany lands he's been; across the seas both near and far; and ruoimy sights he's seen. True sailor- like, a yarn he'l spin; and draw thx long bow hufk to ear, for all who seem to tska 'em ill, and they are very few, I fear. But now he's grown both gray and old, and stitftiHud are hi» lei^s; yet he manages to go aloft, and gathc- up the eugs. Piitrick Delaney, of Uwkd Sound, was admitted tu the home on the 15th inst. He gires his age 75 but looks at least 15 years younger but says he is used up badly wid the rheumatiz. Says Patsy, Oi'm an Oirisbman, in Wexford Oi was bor-rn, my daddy died soon after that aid I was left forlor-rn. Oi kem out here when but a kid, and then me mammy died, thin Miss Furchune kicked me up and down, and thin from saide to soide. How ou!d am Ui ] Be-goba, Oi'm sivinty foive, next Candle- mas, an' that's as thrue as Oi'm aloive, Oi lived ill Owen Sound a spell and the Docther says, now Pat, if ye'll jest go down till Vlarkdale ye'll soon get sthront; and fat; that may be so, but Oi'm very much iu doubt, that Wexford Pat will ne'er get fat, till King Death knocks him out. Miss Robinson, of the stafi^ has been at home for several days piist, attending to her mother, Mrs. Henry Stone, who ha* been very ill. During Miss R's. ab- sence the matron has only had one girl, and all the inmates who are able hate been obliged to give his or her little a.s8istaiice to get through the daily amount of work which must necessarily be performed. Those of the old fellows who have good eyesight and nimble fingers have been employed as the spirit moved thorn iu cutlinf; seed potatoes in the barn, but none h^ve collapsed from over fatigue. It wav the intention to have the seed in the ground last week but other unfinished work and the sud<ien change in the weather on Saturday changed the program which, however will be earned out this week, weather permitting. Messrs. Harry Harness, B. and H. Christie, of Owen Sound, were down on Wednesday of last week, trout fishing. They carried back with them a very nice catch of the speckled beauties. Mr. Christie, head of the firm came, 'down the following day and after finishing a job of plumbing in the house also tried his luck at the same sport and with good success. It was ideal Kshing weather. Weareglad to announcethat the matron has fully recovered from her recent severe illuess. Althoutfh at the time of leaving her apartments a few days ago she looked far from ultimate recovery. yet a few days has made a wonderful change and she now looks and feels in splendid health. A large crowd are expected In Mark- dale on Viotorin Day, and as it falls on the regular visiting day at the Bouse of Refuge, doubtlessly a large number will avail themselves of boins shown tbroagh the Orphanage. We hope the weather will beilpropitious fur » day of solid enjoy- ment f-jr all.
