And lsraers thousands TO the battle rous'd,

When civil dscord stalk d throughout the land.
That Benjamlte, whose proud rebellious heart
Caus kindred subjects for their Prince to part.
Because their leader; but so poorly sped
That soon he paid the forfeit with his head.
The sire of him who smote the prophets cheek,
Who stood when kings would council seek,
Though jeer'd and hated till the truth would

Another, let us name, 'twas she who bore
His grandsire, who experience troubles sore
Through nils and mountains by an armed force,
Hunted and close beset by foot and horse.
That generous Hittite, who, with noble mind
And liberal heart was to the stranger kind.
Kind TO his dead, not willing to refuse
His substance gratis to the strangers use.
He, whom his skill first taught the forge to rear
The brass to polish, and the iron square
He who, from home and local comforts driven.
Became the subject of indugent Heaven.
Whose bow in Paran's wilderness supplied
HIS wants, which By parent was denied
The man on whom y blessing was betowH,
Whose house coutain'd the sacred ark of God.
With him, who washing found hasty cure,
In Jordans waters aud becoming pure,
Convinced by this BELIEVED the prophets word.
And vow'd from thenCeforth he would serve the

In the year 1912, when throughout

were Consistently going, pamphlet was
written by one John Cressei, of the
Charter house, for their suppression,
and among The many grave reasons Civ
en- against their Continuance is the fol.
lowing; "These stage-coaches make
gentlemen come 10 London upon very
small occasions, which otherwise thew

makes their wives often come up, who.

AFFECTING CIReuMsTAKcE.-The fol-
lowing incident, winch occurred in the
month OF October last, would have been
narrated at the time, had the facts been
communicated to US through an aulhen-
tic channel. John Higgins, iarm-ser-
want, Amlbagliesh, parish of Glenluce,
has little daughter, three years old,
who, having followed cart 10 the po-
ts;o field, was allowed 10 play about
tlll the evening, which was then very
near at hand. The child amused itself
by Plucking wild flowers, which were
ripe enough IN the monte of October.
and aliured, perhaps, by The sight Of
lew TUFTS OF untaded heather, strollsd
unnotlced to contiguous moor, at least
1000 acres il extent. When tue labor
ers were about 10 quit the field, the girl
was called and looked for in vain, and
though the shades of olght were closing
IN on all sides, dillgent search was I'M
mediately instituted, in which all the
nelghbors joined. A late hour, The
afflicted relatives were constrained by
their friends 10 return home, and passed
a most ANXIOUS aud sleepless night
Early next morning tee search was re-
newed, and continued for Two successive
days, but still with little hope OF success.
The child disappeared on Wednesday
evening, and il was not un,iI ten O'Clock
OF the Saturday following, that she was
discovered by her grandfather, lying on
her face, among a small heap of stones.
The air, during the first night, was cold
and frosty; Oh the second, it tained with
ont IDtermission; and on the third. the
wind blew keenly from the east; and
during the whole of thar long period,
the little sufferer had remained alone in
the open wild, without food or shelter Of
any kind. Her grandfather was in the
knowledge of al these circumstances,
and when he lifted his little favorlte in
his arms he expected 10 fnd her stifs
tened corpse. The reader lnsy Judge

Considerable excitement has been for some time
past, visible Oh our Northern frontier, in conse-
quence of the disposition exhibted by the inhab-
tants Of Canada aud Nova Scotia to interrupt and
injure American citizens settling on the territory
which ntervenes between Canada and New Bruns-
wick, and to interfere with our right to take fish,
and to land on the Magtialcn islands for the purpose
of curing them. As relates to settlers on the
territory, the possession Of which is disputed BY the
Canadians, force seems to have been resorted to
FOR the purpose Of expelling American citizens, and
one of our fellow citizens is said to have been ar
rested under process from a Canadian magistrate,
and actually conveyed to prison and subjected to
trial and fine. This is to be regretted, because
it has tendency to produce i'll will, and desire
of retaliation, which ought to be avoided on every
account. We have given in our last paper extracts
from the treaties of Paris and Of Client to show
what is the boundary line as described therein.-
Commissioners were appointed to have the line sur
veyed and settled. lhere is no dispute as to the
real course of the boundary but Great Britain is
desirous to correct the mistake she made in conced-
ing the territory which lies Immediately between
Canada and New Brunswick. and subjects all in.
tercourse between them to a tedious and crcutous
route, unless it be carried on through the Ame-
rican territory. But the difference the subject
is for the discussion and decision of the governments
and not of individuals who may choose to decide tor
themselves to the value Of the territory, and as to
the means possessing themselves of it. The nhabl-
ants Of that part Of Canada lying contiguous to the
claimed territory are very eager. and apparently
very determined, to seize and possess it. laws and
treaties equity and moral obligation. to the contra
ry Notwithstanding. But we hope the British go
vernnent will deem it right to repress this dispos-
tion. and not to sanction acts which must of necessity
provoke retaliation from the individuals who cons
der themselves nsulted and injured
AS to our practice Of curing fish on the Magda
len islands, which has also excited the dsp!easure
of some Of our neighbours. we have also taken pains
to lay before readers the article of the
ton Of 1878 by which it is secured to us for con-
sideraon on our part whichis therein expressed. 1t
is right conceded to US forever and il the supe-
rlor industry and enterprise Of our fishermen has
been such as to excite the envy and i'll will Of theil
competitors. it is ungenerous in the latter to resort
to onplalnts Of outrages which have NJ foundation
in truth, with view to defeat that success which
! they unable to subdue by fair rivalry. Like
the disputes in Canada. we are bound to believe that
thes also are confined to persons who are ignorant
OF the stipuatinns Of the convention on the subject
and that the British government will not be back

rcan interests and proceedings which are in no wise
contrary to the splritot existing treaties.
