to do with the injustice OF his conduct, III suffering

then Ia the most dlsingenuOus manner, denying nc
the right Of defence None. that can see, unless
81 be, that the author Of such injustice only, could be

Wow" For IT is among The least important OF the
missiatemcnts Of that publication, that 1t Is announ
red to be a "rcvicw OF the controversy between the

They, in fact, have had no controversy. IL II true,

SELECTED POETRY.

CHILDHOOD AND HIS VISITORS.
Once on q time when sunny May
Was kissing at the April showers,
Isaw fair Childhood hard at play
U,on bank of blushing flowers;
Hsppy,-he knew not whence or how;
And smiling, Who could choose but love him.
FOR not more glad than Ghildhood's brow
Wa. 1.-The blue heaven that breath'd above him.
Old Time, in most appalling wrath
That valley 5 green repose invaded;
The brook, grew dry upon his path,
The birds were mute, the lines faded'
Blu, time so swiftly winged his flight
In haste Grecian tomb to batter,
That Childhood watched his paper kite,
And knew Jus, nothing of the matter.
With curling lip, and glane'ng eye
Guilt gazed on the scene q minute,
But Childhood's glance Of purity,
Had such holy spell within IL,
That the dark demon 10 tn air
Spread forth again his bafaed pinion,
Aud hid his envy and despair,
Sell tortured, III MS oohhh'on
Then stepped gloomy phantom up.
Pale, cypress crowned, nights awful daughter
And proffered him a fearful cup,
Full TO the br,m with water;
Poor Childhood babe her tell her name,
And when the belisme muttered Sorrow
lie said" Don't interrupt my game,
IN taste it, if l must, Tomorrow"
The Muse Of Pindus thither came,
Aud wooed him with the softest slumbers
That ever scattered wealth and fame
Upon youthful poets slunbers;
Though sweet the music Of the lay,
To uhlidhoodn Was all riddle,
And .Oh," he cried, edo SEMI away,
That noisy woman with the fiddle"
Then Wisdom stole his bat an | ball
And taught him, with mos, sage endesvour.
VIII, bubbles rise and acorns fall,
And why no toy may last forever;
She talked Of all the wondrous laws,
Which Natures open book discoses,
And Childhood, ere Sue made pause,
Was fast asleep among the roses.
Sleep on, sleep on oh Manhood's dreams,
Are all Of earthly pain, or pleasure,
OF I;iory's tolls, Ambitions schemes,
OF CHERISHED love, OF boarded treasure:
But to the couch where Childhood hes,
A more delicious trance is given,
Litup by raw from ser,ph eyes,
And glimpses of remembered heaven!

UPPER CANADA.

The provincial parliament Of Upper Canada
was prorogued on the goth ul.imo. An address
from the House 10 the King was adopted,
setting forth the removal of Judge Willis as a
high-hsnded outrage, and praying his Majesty
to give him some more exalted appointment.
Some queer debates have taken place in the
House debates in which one of the leading
opposition members INDUCED in strain Of
personality, and inveclive, which would hardly
be allowed in mob meeting at Tammany
Hall In debate on the subject OF paying a
chaplain, there were some singular things said.
Mr.. Folhergill said,
"He was bred Quaker, and could not wish
for church and establishment, but if they
were to have one, he would prefer the church Of
England, and have their Chaplain from that
church-he would not have men 10 pray in this
house whose doctrine would be opposed to their
own politics." Mr.. M'Keuzie was very bitter
against the present chaplain; and declared that
he bad never attended his prayers, because che
interfered in politics in a ,oay he did not like
not being on hi. side, Of course. Mr.. Perry
remarked, that ".he member for Durham, said
that they might get clergymen to read prayers
that would differ from them in politics; but he
would like 10 know if the house agreed with
the politics Of the present chaplain! He believ-
ed not" Mr.. fo'hergiil knew the dlssen-
ling clergy to interfere in politics, and in
manner, too, that astonished him" Mr.. Perry
believed that mo minister could be found whose
politics were parallel with the Archdeacons."
Mr. Mckenzie "did not care whether they were
paid or not for their prayers; but he thought
he could hear blessing from clergyman OF
the church Of Rome-lhe Scotch church, or
methodist, as well as from the chaplain who
ofTicia,es" Nh, James Wilson would1ho, pay
them for their prayers-if they would no. pray
wilhou, money, he would not give the ashes OF
Rye straw tor their devotion. In his speech
on proroguing The parliament, the Lieutenan,
Governor complains ofthe "serious embarrass-
ment experienced from the business Of the Pro-
vince being suffered to accumulate towards The
conclusion OF the Session" This is an evil in
eident TO all legislative bodies on this side Of
the Atlantic.

DUGALD STEWART.

The las, number Of the English annual bio
graphy and Obituary contains memoir Of his
distinguished man. We find this article ex-
trac,ed in the Morning Chronicle, and have
gathered from it short account Of his life.
He was born in The College Of Edinburgh, on
the 2end November, 1888, and was the only
son who survived The age Of infancy, Of DR.
Matthew Stewart, Professor OF Mathematics
at this Univsfsiiy. During his childhood his
health was very weak and precarious, and it
was necessary to take the most tender care Of
him. His earliest years were spent partly at
his fathers house in the University, and part,
ly at Catrine, in Ayrshire. At seven he was
sent to the High School, and having passed
credbly ID rough the customary course :here
was entered student of the College Of Edin-
burgh.
Under the instruction Of his fa.her he be-
came proficient of The exact sciences, but he
va. more distinguished for his excellence in
Logic and Moral Pi iosophy. In October l77l
his father died, aud he removed to Glasgow,
where he was able to avail himself Of the in
suuotions Of Dr.. Reid.
He attended here one course Of Lectures, but
was obliged by the bad stare Of his fathers
health, to take charge of his Mathematical clas.
ses. Al that time he was not nineteen years
OF age. Al the age oil twenty one, he was APP
pointed assistant and successor to his father,
in which capacity he remained till his falher's
death in l7s5, when he was appointed to the
vacant Chair.
In the year 1873 he undertook 10 supply the
place Of Dr.. Adam Ferguson in the Moral Phi.
Iosophy Class. The proposal wa. made TO him
on Thursday aud on the Monday following he
commenced the course Of Metaphysics, and
continued during the whole of,he Session, that
is for the space of6ve or six months, to deliv>
er lecture Of an hour in length, extempore,
every day. The same session he added new
course Of lectures on Astronomy, TO the cIas.
ses he taught as Professor Of Mathematics.
About the year 1890 he first began to pre-.
pare some Of his Me,aphysicalpapers for pub
LEGATION; having been in 1885 appointed TO the
Professorship Of Moral Philosophy. In 1872
he published his first volume Of the Philosophy
Of Human Mind. Whilst occupied with this
work, he found time to write a Life Of Adam
Smith, the celebrated author Of the Wealth Of
Nations, which was read before the Royal So
cie,y Of Edinburgh. In the course Of this year
he also published the Outlines Of Moral Philo.
