female loquacity,' were they to talk of
things that would eonduce to the welfare

lash them gently with light straw of re-
proof; and turn them, if possible from the
error of their ways. They Ought to be "a
ware that the tip end of their tongues are
infected with the poison Of scandal, which
if once disseminated abroad will increase
in vlru Ience in proportion as it spreads,
till it has forever destroyed the peace,
the unison and the social intercourse ola

ware of the mischief that you are capable
producing by an unchecked freedom of
utterance. Keep taut rem upon that fl
cry stead, the tongue, lest itrun away
with your better Judgment, and upset
your good names in the dirty ditch of dis
repute. Remember, dear females, that of
thousands of words which compose our
language, hundreds and thousands Of
them are either, utterly worthless or de-
cidedly noxious; and thatthe best Of them
can be used deleteriously. Therefore,
take heed and let the oral shuttle ply
slowly and carefully while you weave
your web of words; and you may live to
enjoya green old age, and not thread be
broken IN the fair fabric of your charac-

blossom even at the door of the tomb,

In Senate, January Il, 1912.

Mr.. MERRlCk said he had sincerely
regretted this premature debate upon a
subject which, in his judgment, it would
have been much wiser in the Senate, and
far better for the country, to have referred
III the usual manner to Il committee OF
the body, by the result of whose deli
berations we should have been better able
to form a correct judgment of its merits
and dement's, and from which we could
have more certainly inferred what were
the probabilities of arriving at satislac-
tory adjustment of the disturbing ques-
tons connected with it. He would great
ly have preferred the postponement of all
debate until the question should have
come before us in a shape which would
have enabled us to test, by votes Of the
body, the comparative degrees of favour
| with which the views OF different gentle
men wele received; when there would
have been room to hope for practical re-
suits from the discussions; but as other
gentlemen had thought otherwise, and
had already freely INDUCED in debate, and
the scheme proposed had been denounced
i'll no measured terms, it seemed to be-
come necessary for him, and those hold
ing views similar to his own, to express
those views to the Senate. | set out,

Parting Hymn.
BY J. w. MATTHEW'S.

L
AlR-"Lsle of beauty fare thee areA.p
List! the mournful word is spoken.
And the spirits Of the past,
Weep the flow'ry links all broken,
Love around our heartp had cast
Like the distant sound Of dirges
From some old and lonely fame,
Or the midnight sigh of surges,
Breathes their melancholy strain!
"Ye are parting, yet ye linger
Where the light of mem'ry plays,
As that wizards solemn finger
Wanders back to other days,
Lo! their brightest fow'rs have persisted
Meath the noontide's burning sky,
And hopes that you most dearly cherished,
Round you, DIM and wither'd lie"
We are parting Time can never
Bring the faded past again
Like the wave of some lone river,
1t is buried in the main
Then the cypress wreath of sorrow
Well may bind our brows to-day,
For the coming of the morrow
Bears our footsteps far away
Then farewell yet aye though parted
Will our hearts together cling,
Thong IN we wander weary-hearted,
Love, its glow DER life will fling.
Then farewell and oh watch DER us,
Father, on the land or sea,
'Till the weary way before us
Bears us up at last to Thee!

gered, as'dsssekned unwilling to go. At last
tthey ealrcaied TO be allowed 10 sleep with the

spoke 10 sfem of their pleasant chamber, and
expressed her surprise that they should wish
70 leave II, and repeated her wish that they
should retire Immediately. Then they looked
very sad, and the eyes OF the youngest filed
with tears as she whispered, we are afta;d,
mother.' 1t was viii, grief and sunrise thai
their mother heard this; and she repeated fhey
inquiry asto what they feared, before she sue
ceeded in obtaining reply. .Oh mother, the
girls at school do tell such stories!'
What stories, my loye!'
why, about ghosts and sights and murders,
and everything that is dreadful replied Julia,
and she covered her face with her hands, and
shrunk back, as il some terrible sight presen-
ted itself TO her view.
sBat, my children can it be possible that
you believe in the reality of these things -
that you believe in the appearance Of ghosts
and apparitions % - "a,
mo! dear mother, we. don't believe them,
but somehow keep thinking Of them, and !
wish the girls had not told me such things.

said their mother, as she saw them sweety
laid on their pjllows-"Gcod night! remember
these words: Thou wilt keep him in perfect

of this text and you will not fear. It means
that those who trust in God will have nothing

perfect peace
