Tuesday, A.' 19th, by taking • trip on
v•s-
mouth. At five in the morning most of the brethren
were astir, great animation prevailed through the
village, end after many loving gestural and fond
embraces, by these about to leave their better halves
behind, all were ready to start. A capital break and
two fine horses had been sent by IG. May, at the
Bear Hotel, with a firet-rste driver, who, by the way,
preserved his thoughtfulness amid all the infection
of high spirits. Being accompanied with the cream of
the Wool band, as the bachelors passed through the
village the cvrnet-players rattled out somenzrz
strains, which seemed to cheer all who wit.
their departure, with the exception of • few of the fair
sex, who we noticed looked much cast down in spirits.
A most splendid display of bunting was seen; the
emblems on two of the flea were—" Love and Truth,"
but Barely our bachelor friends thought little of the
meaning .those beautiful words carried with them.
Mach credit is due to Hr. Wolvin, the secretary, for
the energetic way he has laboured for the good of his
brother members, and although he may be opposed to
the society of the fair sex, we hoped he might be
spored to be with us for many years to come, for he
certainly has put our young men in the right method
of spending a pleasant day.

THE EXCURSIONIST.

MUD.

He was wandering erlditon the bleak ses.wall.
By the mud where the waves ouabt to be;
And the wiod played • game w,th the coat and the shawl.
And the gingham umbrellA and Mager permit,
And the basket and bag he wee laden withal,
And the wife and children three.

"--
Clearly he
Was enjoying what he'd call "a spree."
Bat his eye rolled wild,.. the rods gist wind
Whisked his Sunday bat far out to see;
And he swore a sad oath sib. chattered and grinned.
While his wile round hls head her best Landlterchisi
pinned.
And the children howled load, with their faces all skinned.
And their trousers all burst at the knee.

For you sea
The East wind was uncommonly free.
Then the mucilees rain on the gea-wall smote,
And the gingham wee blown inside out
And the gay poruol. and the shawl, and the coat ;
And the haz owl basket were fairly afloat,
And the wife of hi. bosom blown over • boat,
And the babies all flying about—
Such a rout !
Twos a painful sight, without doubt.
Sill Ltd t sinoulu man kept hi, stronge wild course
Fir the merge of that mud-covered bay ;
And he laughed a grim laugh that was strident and
Mane,
As be maw how the wind had pronounced a divorce
For his wife and his babies were borne on by its force
Till they vanished in inlet far away.
I may icy.
I wee shocked at hie miming so gay,
I wss grieved.. I marked how, through pillion rite,
He went wondering on all that day;
And I thought, if I happened ti meet him main,
I would oak for what sin be endured all this pain,
And the reason be roved on the brink of the main
While his wile and his bibles were many,
For this trait
Seemed a strange sort of thing to dioplay,
So I asked that weird man if he'd give me the tip
Why he wandered on thus through Use pour;
And busied in. with Kern, while • ;pin curled Ida lip,
As be answered, "Thin here la • cheep pleasure trip:
Seven howl by the sea, and a blow and dip,
And a walk by the bootiful share r—

WIIAT TOR WORLD SAYS.

Earl lininville made a pregnant suggestion which I
cosumend most emphatically to our hereditary lejislators,
when,
speaking the other night on the question report-
ing in the House of Lords, he said that • marked improve-
went would be immediately effected if noble lords would
only speak distinctly and audibly. The House id Lords is
undoubtedly deficient in acoustic properties. But the fact
that there are half • dozen men who can make themselves
distinctly heard in the chamber iroves that the fault does
not altogether lie with the architect The Premier is as
plainly heard in the Lonia as he was in the Commons, or
as he may be at his own table; the Lord Chancellor also
succeeds in making himself perfectly heard, and the esme
may be said of Lord Cranbrook, Lord Cardweil, and Earl
Spencer Earl Granville may not, unfortunately, be
included in this hot, although his vocal 11110:065 is con-
siderably above the average.

4s for Lard Denman, who took part in the brief conver-
sation and showed an inclination to moil at the art of
reporting, his experience of the press and its connection
with the House of Lords is certainly not encouraging. Ile
once wrote to the editor of a morning paper complaining
that he had been imperfectly reported, and supplying in •
postscript the purport of what he had said, which he
desiredshould be published. The editor politely explained
that Lord Denman had not been reported because he was
inaudible in the gallery, and that whilst lie had every
disposition to do Justice to the noble lord, he could not
print his version of the speech because the printers were
unable to read the manuscript Lord Denman may well
think meanly of the prase

Charles Fechter dead! And in his death the present
generation has bat the finest romantic actor it hae ever
seen on the stage. What charming perfect grace, what

August 4th, when the weather was fine. The members
mustered well and seemed determined to make up fur
their lack of sport on Whit-Sionday, for it will he re-
membered it rained all that day, and a heavy bill or
two on the funds of the demonstration committee was
the result; but the members both far and near
rallied round their officers, and in a little more than
a week the deficiency was made up and • few shillings
in hand, but they decided to have a holiday. A pro-
cession was formed at the Court h-ase, and marched
through the village to 1:14 Chablon and Knighton,

to hit, bringing together such a number of people that
the day was financially a success.

" That in consequence of the present chapel having
beoorn• quite inadequate to the efficiency of the
various Christian agencies of the church and congrega-
tion, this meeting unanimously recommends the sale
of the present chapel, and the erection of a more suit-
able ediho. This was seconded by Mr. Mussel and
carried unanimously. Mr. Joseph Bowditch and Mr.
Atkins were proposer and seconder of the other
resolution,—"That an application be made from this

misting
be given to the trustees of the said Chapel

TRUE CONSERVATISM.

Sir A. Gordon, the Conservative member for
East Aberdeenshire, has pod given speech to opinions
which it is highly probable not • few of his brother
Tories share with him, but lack the courage to
express. The hon. baronet has just informed h 6
constituents that, finding as the mention went on he
occupied the anomalous position of sitting on one side
of the Howe and voting on the other, he went over to
the Opposition benches. The great question of
difference between him and the Government was the
Eastern Question, which he could not support.
Connected with this was the Cyprus convention, and
the discreditable affair of the Schou. aloff agreement.
Then came the Afghan question, which, to him,
appeared simple robbery.

DOWN ON OUR LUCK.

The hope of a revival of commercial
prospenty which
has recently been raised, and which has found expression
in several quarters, is, we fear, so far as the preselt and
the—immediate—future is conoerned, doomed to dis-
appointment At any rate. we fail to imagine how a
revival of trade can possibly ensue upon a generally
deficient European harvest In (inset Britain, the harvest
i* now certain to be one of the worst on record, not only
in respect of corn, but also in the cases of hay, roots, and
.stber feeding crops. Iscife, and potatoes, In France, the
wheat crop is expected to be only two-third of an average,
and the hay has been spoilt to a great extent by wet
weather, as in our own country. AU other continental
countries will produce a crop more or Imo below average,
including Itoumania, with mimed to which reports, a few
weeks back, were very sanguine Only on the American
continent is a good crop of wheat expected, and even
there the yield will be lower than that of List year, and it
is only an increased acreage which promises to makeup for
the deficiency. In the Australian colonies the harvest has
been one of the worst ever known, and from India we
hear no very favourable reports. The loss in crest corn- '
producing countries alone will amount to hundreds of
millions of pounds, and it is • dead loge which nothing can
compensate for. A commercial crisis, which has resulted
from over-production, ran speculation, an inflated credit
system, or extravagance of living, may be tided ceey by
the reversal of the oonditions which produced it, thouili
thousands of inslivi.tuals may be ruined in the mean time
but a general deficiency in the natural productions of the
earth is akm for ever, and nothing an eau, partially
compensate for it, unless it be a onsequens alterationin

so far as to name meat, milk, and .etables ; or, in other
words, deems it prolable that English agriculture will
probably partake more for ths future of the character of
dairy-farming and market gardening. It is indeed
obvious enough, that both their comparatively high price
In proportion to cereals, and their perishable nature, must

that the issue of a gnat work on " !airy Farming,' by a
