LEGISLATIVE sQUABBLEs.

In the record Of proceedings in the Canadian
Parliament, we find the following, which indi
Gates no very enviable state of feelings among
the members:
"a terrible kick up took place on Friday even
ing in the Assembly during the examination Of
Mr.. Viger. He had stated that he had seen a
man named Keogh beaten by some Of the con-
stables, but could not name them. Mr.. Young
having expressed some surprise that public man
like Mr.. Viger should not know the special con.
stables, when he was so positive as to Keogh;
Mr. Leslie said there was nothing surprising IN
it-he knew Mr.. Young he did not know his
wife. Mr.. Young made very long reply, which
he concluded by saying that the language OF the
Hon. gentleman was unbecoming Member of
the House and a gentleman. The words having
been taken down, the speaker took the chair
aud as there was no quorum, messengers were
sent all around to procure the attendance Of
members. Mr.. Young refused to apologize, al.
though entreated by great number his friends.
An order for his arrest was passed, but the ser.
jeant at arms has not yet put the grace Of God
upon him. The discussion commenced at half
past 8, and terminated only at l."

CORK.

Many persons see corks used daily
without knowing whence come these ex-
ceedingly useful materials. Corks are
cut from large slabs Of bark of the cork
tree, a species Of the oak which grows
wild in the countries in the south of Eu-
rope. The tree is generally dives.ed Of
its bark at about fifteen years old, but
before stripping it off, the tree is not cut
down as in the case of the oak. 1t is ia
Ken while the tree is growing; and the
operation may be repeated every eighth
or ninth year, the quality Of the cork
continuing each time 20 improve as the
age of the tree increases. When the
bark is taken off, it is singed in the fame
of II strong fire; and, after being soaked
for a considerable time in water, it is
placed under heavy weights in order to
render it straight. Its extreme lightness,
the case with which it may be compress
sed, and its elasticity, are properties so
peculiar to this substance, that no eff
sient substitute for il has yet been dis
covered. The valuable properties of
cork were known to- the Greeks and Ro-
mans, who employed it for all the purpo-
ses for which it is used at present, with
the exception Of stopples for bottles-the
ancients mostly employing cement for
closing the mouths Of bottles or vessels.
The Egyptians are said to have made
coffins Of cork, which, being spread on
the inside with resnous substance, pre-
served dead bodies from decay. In
modern times, cork was not generally
used for stopples to bottles till about the
close Of the l7tb century, wax being till
then chiefly in use for that purpose
The cork imported into Great Britain is
brought principally from Italy, Spain,
and Portugal. The quantity annually
consumed is upwards Of s, 900 tons.

The reign of spring had come. Her
blessed ministers were abroad in the
earth; they hovered in the air; they
blended their beautiful tints, and cast a
new created glory on the face of the
heavens.
The tree was rewarded for her trust.
The angel was true To the object Of his
love. He returned: he bestowed OH her
another robe. 1t was bright, glossy and
unsullied. The dust Of summer had new
er lit upon it; the scorching heat had not
faded it; the moth had not profaned it.
The tree stood again in love eliness, she
was dressed in more than her former
beauty. She was very fair; Joy smiled
around her on every side. The birds
flew back to her bosom. They sang on
every branch hymn to the Angel OF the
Leaves Token, 1884.

Memory and observation will supply
to the recollection Of those who have
lived long in the world, numerous inston-
ces similar to such as / have brought
forward; but as it is natural to a young
heart and indeed one Of its most endear.
ing traits, to be willing to trust all who
offer friendship, It is surely the part of
true kindness to ask them to "try before
they trust" Happily the touchstone
which ascertains what is truly good and
what has an evil tendency; has its first

which is thus endowed with power that
counterbalances its experience, s, lead

ptese htS,ive Of his country abroad in sit
uaiiofis often Of extreme delicacy-re-
ceives little more than eleven hundred
dollars. he has family, be is more
over subjected to the expense Of a double
establishment, whilst his equal in tSe ar
my lives at home, surrounded by domest
tic comforts. The writer Of this, a lieu
tenant in the navy, who has served nearly
nineteen years, and more than half Of it
in cruising ships at sea, fourd himself re-
Gently in company with brevet second
lieutenant Of engineers, who had Just
been promoted from four years resi-
dence in the Military Academy, where
he had obtained, at the public expense,
the best educ alton which the country az
fords, and was actually receiving an an
nual pay greater by one eighth than his
own. The whole case was strongly and
e'rquently presented to the House Of
Representatives by Mr.. Dorsey, from
ihe Com.nittee on Naval Affairs, nearly
three years ago, supported by facts
whose evidence was irresistible. AS
yet, however, nothing has been done to-
wards repairing this injustice. II may
be well here to state that noth;ag is fur
ther from the writer's intention in t!i.ssa
comparisons, than to disparage the ar
my, which the jud:cious liberality Of the
country has elevated to such a degree Of
excellence, or to convey the idea that its
services are unduly compensated.
"Irretrievably bound to our profession,
unified for any other, our youth exhaust
ted, our health too often undermined. we
still lanso;sh in poverty and neglect.
We do not think it uan be the wish of the.
American people, at time when their
Golfers are overfowing with wealth, to
enforce so hard bargain with men who
devote themselves to their service with
all the enthusiasm of youth, and without
a second thought to any prudential or
sordid consideration. We believe that
in this and many other matters the rep
resentatives Of the people are behind the
wishes of their constituents. The navy
is the useful arm to VIII hich we are to
look, not only for the protection Of our
v ast commerce, but also for defence from
foreign invasion: il is also the popular
one. Why, therefore, on the part of the
Government, such grudging and beg
carly expenditure towards its support?
And why should the United States, with
a commercial marine second only to
that Of England, and with more flourish
ing resources than any other country in
the world, maintain an armed force for
its protection amounting but to Il tenth Of
the active force OF France, one third Of
that os Russia, and but little more than
half of that Of the dilapidated and wos-
begone Peninsula? The force which we
now maintain at sea Is not sufficient to
keep up the st stundard Of professional ea-
cellence in the service; and it is un-
doubtedly OH the decline.
"l'he navy, which first redeemed The
faded glory Of our country, and honora-
bly, upheld her banner in the late war,
and which is ever ready to stand forth in
the service Of the people when fhe hour
Of danger arises, commends its interests
