The Stranger Brother .
( Tune— "Farmer ' s Boy . " ) T . B . AVHVTI ' IIEAI ' . The sun had set , the night was wet , AVhcn lone , and sad , and poor ,
Depressed and lame , a Alason came Unto an open door ; The lights gleamed bright , and cheered his sight , For above thc entrance high He marked the well-known symbols tell Thc ancient Craft was nigh .
His knocks so true brought to his view The Tyler old and tried , AVho asked his name , Alasonic fame ,
And bade him step inside ; " AVhoever you be , we shall very soon see , If you are an ashlar fair , For the AVardens both , will be nothing loath , To test you upon the Square . "
The AIaster fair , said from his chair , " Your duty , AVardens , do . " Prompt to obey they haste away AVith plumb and level too .
The tools applied , the AVardens cried" This is a case of need , Distress so clear , before us here , May claim a Brother ' s meed . "
The Stranger Brother.
Thc friendly grip , the cheery lip , Soon bailee ! the stranger ' s face ; The festive board his strength restored , And gave him heart of -grace . .
Now that Craftsman ' s breast , as he seeks his rest , Oft breathes a prayer iinbade , And hails the happy day he came that way , To seek a Brother ' s aid .

The inhabitants ot Uic Metropolis aro to bo congratulated on the milk supply thereto , doubtless brought to this stage of perfection by tlio influence and actions o £ such linns as Wclfoi-d and Sons ( Ilimited ); there wc find exceptional advantages offered and care taken for the delivery of milk -perfectly fresh and pure . Their Eome Tarnis , situated at Willesden , and within the Metropolitan area , enable
them to deliver the produce of the same to their numerous patrons three or four times daily , aud to invalids , infants , and persons of delicate digestion , and other cases where tho milk is required to bo taken quite fresh , it is obvious that a supply delivered directly after milking , as in this case , is not only unique , but most necessary . Messrs . Welford have taken numerous prizes , cups , and medals , for the quality of their products , and amongst others the Gold Medal of tlie International liealth Exhibition , for tho quality and purity of their farm produce .
Tho Butter-making , Cream Separating , and manufacture of their Silver Medal Cream Cheese , are carried on daily at their chief office . The whole of the farms , dairies , ccc , together with employes and their families , arc under the superintendence of their medical oflicers , and the sanitary arrangements throughout have been carefully devised and carried out by their sanitary engineer . The herds of goats stationed at the chief oflice and farms show the care taken to provide tho nursery with one of the best articles of diet for infants .
CHRISTMAS FARE . In . anticipation of tho merry season of Yule-tide , so rapidly approaching , tradesmen of all grades arc making their customary displays of " creature comforts , " many of them this year being far superior to any of their predecessors . Poultry and fish , of course , form a most important element in catering for Christmas-tide festivities ; aud the thousands of business men who daily traverse
Broad-street , entering and returning from tho City , will not fail to have noticed thc extensive and magnificent display mado by "liro . John Gow , ear the Liverpoolstreet Railway Terminus . It . is by no means an uncommon sight to witness here a recherche collection of poultry of al ! kinds , as well as fish , such as can scarcely be rivalled in thc market ; but some thing more than ordinary is expected during " thc festive season , and Bro . Gow has not fallen short of the public expectations . There is a profuse exhibition of toothsome turkeys and splendid geese ,
with every other species of game and poultry in season , the excellence of which is only rivalled by tho exceedingly moderate prices quoted . The same remark nppplics to the fish aud barrelled oysters ; ami wc cannot recommend our readers to do better , or study their owu interest more closely , than to visit any of Bro . Gow's establishments , from tlie headquarters near Broad-street ( outside the railway station ) to tho branches in Honey-lane Market , Choapsitlo ; 03 , Theobald ' sroad , Holborn ; and 125 , Brompton-road , S .

A FEW WORDS ABOUT MESSRS . G . BOTTERILL AND SONS AND TUE 1 SS 5 TOBACCO CROP . A curious circumstance connected with the good crop of Havana cigars since 1869 is that every fourth year after that date has been exceptionally good , viz . -. 1873 , 1877 , 1881 , and now 1885 . We consider it partially owing to the cycle of moist seasons , but more particularly to the exhaustion of tho soil , which takes , at least , threo years to recoeer itself after a crop of tobacco . Tho intermediate
crops aro fed by the phosphates used , the actual soil not having any virtue iu it . We therefore consider from past experience that connoisseurs may not expect another good crop until 1889 . Laranagas are the best fine light cigars this year . Morales , in fine sizes , aro exceptionally good , but of much richer quality . We havo hatl tho pleasure of testing several brands of Messrs . Botterill and Sons ' Havana cigars of this year ' s growth , and can with confidence recommend them to our numerous readers and all lovers of a really good cigar .
THE NEW PHOTOGRAPH ALBUM . For Christmas Presents and Now Year ' s Gifts are two very handsome photograph albums issued by Messrs . T . J . Smith , Son , and Downes .

Both are in thc highest style of workmanship , padded in morocco or Russian , and with thc patent expanding clasp . Illustrations and prices will be found on another pago .
