IF the following lines are original, beg pardon
OF the friend from whom they received, for Of
fcring them for publication but they breathe feel
ing so strongly in unison with my own, that cannot
resist the inclination.
"There is Joy which have known,
No power on earth destroys:
IT'S heavenly yes! tits heaven alone,
Oh its the joy ofjoys.-
Its powers are mighty---marlz it heals
The deep wound of despair:
There's not heart, tho hard, but feels

When there meet, and each descends

Although we may enjoy every blessing possible

SATURDAY EVENING, DECEMBER II, 1924

In the last number, we published notice of Miss
BRANDT, daughter of Mohawk Chief, from the
pen of Mr. BrcnASAS, the British Consul. We were
delighted with the portrait which this gentleman
gave of her, and thought, at the time, that lady
possessing nice sense of proprety, such ele
gance of manners, and such elevated and refined
feelings, would not long be suffered to pass through
the may paths of life, without finding a congenal
soul to appreciate herworth, and be her companion
in the hours of veal and wo. She is plant of the
willerness---but gem of the purest kinda pearl
without price.

1T enables us to estimate the degree of sympathy

governors and governed, will be best adrulnis-
tered and be productive of the greatest happi-
ness to the people: and being convinced that

knowledging no right but that which is iDhc-
rently centured IN the people, to choose who
