THE JEW OF WILMA.

In the advance of the French against
Russia, Colonel, strolling, the SUBJ
urbs of wilma, heard cries OF distress
from house, & entering to ascertain
the cause, he found four soldiers, enga-
ged in plundering and i'll treating an
aged Jew and young girl. The ma
RAIDERS, not being inclined to reiin-
quish their prey, proceeded to blows,
but the Colonel, who was an excellent
swords,nan, laid two Of his assailants
dead on the spot, and drove the other
two from the house severely wounded
he himself received slight wounds,
and ball glazed his cheek. On the
return of the remnant Of the French
army, oppressed with fatigue, want,
and disease, the worn out soldier, in
rags, sought the dwelling OF the Jew,
and with difficulty was recognized; so
completely changed was his appear.
ance.-The Jew completely furnished
his wardrobe, and contrived to send
him through the hostile armies to
France. AT the peace, the colonel was
obliged to retire on miserable pit
lance, which an aged mother and
sister shared. He had forgotten the
Jew of wilma, when one evening, IN
the spring Of 1916, man called at his
humble abode, in the suburbs OF Paris,
and having satisfied himself as to his
identity, placed in his hands packet,
and vanished. On opening it, the
Colonel found bills, on banker in Far
is. to the amount ofl5ooo with the fol-
lowing notes.-the whose daughter you
pre served from a brutal ravisher, whose
life you saved, and whose house you
protected from plumber, at the risk OF
YOUR own existance, sends you an Of
fering of his gratitude; the only re-
turn he requires is if ever you hear the
Jews condemned, you will say, that one
of that race, knew how TO be grateful.
The old Jew died at Vienna; his daugn'
ter the heiress ofhis immense wealth,
the largest portion Of which was in the
French funds, visited Paris; it was nat
ural she should seek the brave man
who had preserved herfrom the worst
of fales, and with no common emo.ioh
he found the young girl he had protec-
ted. now a blooming and beautiful wo-
man. and amiable as she was engaging,
He became lover, and she consented
n be a wire-With her hand he recel-
we'd more than 100000.

POLITICAL.
From The Quebec Gazette.
FOR BETTER FOR WORSE.

The inhabitants of the Colonies
mus, take Acts Of Parliament pretty
much in the same way as a man takes
a wife, "for better for worse-for rich
err for poorer"
There seems, however, to be this ma
terial difference, that marriage is con-
tracted BY mutual consent, whereas an
Act of Parliament for the Colonies re-
quires only the consent Of one OF the
parties. Marriage cannot be dissolved
"till death them do part" with some
exceptions. Acts of Parliament may,
however, be repealed at the pleasure OF
those who made them.
Nothing is more unwise than for
man and wife to quarrel, seeing that
they cannot separate, even by mutual
consent The most prudent step, then
is to hold the qualities ofeach for good,
nav. even the best possible, without
much examination. With Acts OF
Parliament, their qualities, better and
worse, may be fairly discussed, seeing
that they may be repealed if they do
no, answer the purposes intended.
The Bills introduced in the last ses-
sion of the Parliament Of the United
Kingdom, relating to this Colony,
which are come to our knowledge, as
yet, consist Of
i. The Bill for regulating trade
between the Colonies and foreign
countries.
?: The Bill for giving effect to the
said Bill.
8. The Canada Wheat Bill.
a. The Canada Tenures Bill.
How many more Bills the solicltude
of Ministers for the welfare of the
Colonies may have contributed to pro-
duce during the last session OF Parlla'
ment, we cannot tell. Even in the pre-
sent prolific age Of the world, four Bills
for Canada in one session is fully keep
ing pace with the greatest increase III
one year.
But in respect to the 'better and the
worse of the said Bills, we think they
will nearly stand as follows:
TRADE BILLS.
BETTER.
|. We NAV trade from Quebec te
the dominions of foreign powers, II WI
can find out any profitable trace there.
.. Their subjects may come to Qhe
bee for any thing that they want here
that they Can &c, on better terms thai
any where else.
3. We may get tea and India good
| cheaper than heretofore.
a. American subjects may navlgas

ping their goods at Quebec free oil du

~ GARDEN IN WINTER.

TO MY GARDEN IN WINTER.
Beauty was thine!
And many brilliant summerhour
I've sat in the cool green shade Of thy bower,
O'er wreath'd with the vine.
Youth too was thine!
The youth of fresh buds, as they drew their
birth
From the lovely spring-and smiled like mirtb,
In the clear sunshine!
And to thee did belong
Soft Musc's spell-for the wind-harplay
On the gladstone, blending its voice all day,
With the wild bees song!
And JOY was thine!
Sweet joy!-as the light from the deep blue
skies,
Tinted thy blossoms with rainbow-dyesi
A glorious sign!
Wealth too was thine!
For thy trees were with golden fruitage stored,
Which back to the dazzlig sunbeam poured,
A ray divine!
But thou art no1
As mother. whose blossoms of love are dead;
As mind of light whose hope is fed
Sad and wild art thou!
And yet thou art not
As mind forlorn, or mother bcreft,
For peace to thy gloomy path is left
An envied lot
And again thou shalt be
A garden of bright and balmy things,
When the lark to the listening Sun-God sings
Merrily! meirily! Lion. Lit. Gazette

SONG OF TEE STARS.
BY William Gull,

ny hitiain cullen Bryant
When The radiant morn of creation broke
And the world in the smile of God awoke,
And the empty realms of darkness and death
Were movd through their depths by his mighty breath
And orbs Of beauty, and spheres of flame,
From the void abyss, by myriads came
In the j,y of youth, as they darted away,
Through the widening wastes of space to play,
Their silver voices in chorus rung,
And this was the song the bright ones sung
Away, away, through the wide, wide sky
The fair blue fields that before us lie:
Each with the worlds that round as roll
Each planet pois'd on her turning pole,
With her isles Of green, and her clouds of white
And her waters that lie like fluid light.
For the source of glory uncovers lis face,
And the brightness o'erfows inbounded spacei
And we drink, as we go, the luminous tides
III ruddy air and our blooming sides
10, onder the living splendors play!
Away, on our joyous path away!
Look, look, through our gttering ranks afar.
In the infinite azure, star after star,
How they brighten and bloom they swiftly pass:
How the verdure runs DER each rolling mass!
And the path of the gentle winds is seen,
Where the small dance, and the young woods lean
And see, where the brighter day-beams pour,
How the ranbows hang in the sunny shower
And the morn and the eve, with their pomp of hues
Shift DER the bright planets and shed their dews,
And 'twixt them BOTH DER the teemng ground
With her shadowy zone, the night goes round.
Away, away lin our blossoIning bowers,
In the soft air wrapping these spheres of ours,
in the and fountains that shine with morn,
See, love is brooding and life is born,
And breathing myriads are breaking from night,
To rejoice, like U.S. in motion and light
Glide on in your beauty, ye youthful spheres!
10 the dance that measures the years.
Glide on in the glory and gladness sent
TO the arthest wall of the armament,
The boundless visible smile of Him
10 the veil of whose brow our lamps are dim.
