City. The le.vge deleg-ation was
veiy hospitably (nitertldned, and
the i*e])t)i’ts ot the subo-nliuate
lod^s indicated ininferictil and fi
nancial prosperity. The Odd Fel

orphan work, and are looking for
ward to the day when they will
take charge of either tbe boj’s or
the girls and so divide tbe respon

several acres of people wore pres

lively interest in the orphan work
was manifested by a resolution of
endorsement, and by t]*o liberal
contributions mentioned in an
other column. The Alhemarh

is from the Detroit (Midi.) Free
Press:
If you ha,ve evmr pa.ssed llie old

Street, near the House of Correc
tion, yon know licit; there is not a
more lonely spot ill Detroit. It
is a score of yeai-s since aiiv one
was buried there. Tlie fences lean
in or out; the weather-beaten
iiead-stones lead this isriy or that,
or have fallen down.
Tbe I'icb and the poor who
sleep under the ragged soil have
been liiist i'or years, and if any of
them left friends behind, they are
scaltei'ed now, and are not Iiere to
fill up tbe sunken graves, and
jilant a iiowur to take the gliKini
away.
The other day, peojdo saw an
old woman wandering tlirougli the
gra,i'eyard, brushing the moss from
some of the headstones to look at
the letters, and studying long over
the quaint characters carved into
others. By-and-by she crossed
the street and sat down on the
steps of a cottage, and when peo
ple saw' how old and feeble slie
was, and that her ej-es wore full
of tears, they pitied her.
She could not answer at first,
but ly-aiid'-bg she told them' fliat
she had come Inuidreds of miles
to take a last look at a grave
which she could not find. Haifa
