Emigration, like many other problems, can
hest he slved by putting tho fimistion, what is
the rlternative and hy deciding on taking the
lesser of the two evils. We believe that in
thousands of casaa it would better for then in
good health nml Nith ability to labour, or for
men with cavil al, which is all but useless in our
own country, to pn,h their fortanes itt compara-
tively unworked cenntries ; and that thus they
would lessen the fierceness of the battle of life
for those who remain behind. Aiel there is a
class of persons who are much wanted in the
colonies— female servants. We want a thor-
oughly etlicient organisation for sending young
women to our colonies. Here the fields of em-
ployment are miserably restricted. in our colo-
nies they would find lovers and husbands, nod
thus tend to remove much of that social scan•
datl in our own country, of which the writ .es who
have been discussing, the question of Marriage
or Celibacy have discoursed so freely.

SCTInOr. TREAT.— Alga on Tuesday the children at.

with a treat. To the Palirening strains of the relehra-
ted Cradle,' Heath Brass Band they marched risond the
neighbourhood, the Reva. F. W. G. Clark and G. Lake•
man, and MERIN. Harker and Green walking in front of
them. Ravine returned to schen!, a Prod tea was served
out to them, and they afterwards adjourned to R couple
of fields kindly lent he Mr. .1. Barnsley and Mr. H. Les-
ter. Here varinua spurts were provided including foot-
ball, pimping in Necks, raring with the legs tied, rolling,
and lots of other games. Prizes of various descriptions
were given to the winning competitors. The Rev. G.
Lakeman and other gentlemen did their very best to
heighten the delight and increase the happiness of the
children. During the evening the band played several
excellent pieces in truly artistic style. Several attempts
were made to seul op some balloons. but they all proved
ineffectual. After spending a most enjoyable day, the
children and friends departed to their homes, tired, nut
highly gratified.
The LOCAL k:T.—Tbie Act,having bailed to be adop-
ted for the perish of Redden Hill, It Is new proposed by
the former oppositionists—who used all their invective
against it, and whose chief spokesman called it a "very
bad Act "—to adopt it for the whole parish of Rowley
Regis. It seenia altogether inerpliceble that the very
men who with all their might oppnaed tire introdectinn
of thin Act into Redibill Hill should now turn, and with
all Pharisaical grace laud and magnify that which a week
ar two ago they disclaimed against with so much energy.
Auil it is sell mere, tranee end inexplicable that they
should attempt to adopt this act for Rowley Retit' wben
there are such multitudinous and deadly objectieus
against ouch a preceeding ; objections that they cannot
fail to see if they have any common sense at all. Al.
ready they have posted a circular on the doors of the
' different places of worship, e ifling a meeting of the par-
ishioners fir the. 10th of August, in the Vectry of Riatiley
Church. Probably they hope to gain their desires with-
out any opposition, but we shall be greatly deceived if
they succeed at all, their part deeds being quite sufficient
to net against them every right-minded and honest-prin.
cipled man. They may lie compered to the man who in
cutting off a large branch from a tree, took his seat on
the branch he was severing from the trunk, and who
I when the branch hail been cut off fell with it to the
earth. It is a common saying, "Give a man plenty of
ropeu and he will hang hirnaelf." This is our advice to
those who are in favour of the Act. Soon they wiil see
the opposition so fining themselves that to' extricate
themselves will be a matter of great difficulty.
