BEAUT1PuL ExrRAcT.-James, in his novel
OF Cors de Leon, thus describes confidence in
love - $50
"The brightest part of love is its confidence.
1t is that perfect, that unhesitating reliance,
hat interchange of every idea and every feel
g, that perfect community of all the hearts
ecrets and the minds thoughts which binds
Two beings together more closely, more dearly
than The dearest of human ties; more than the
view of passion or the oath of the altar. 1t
is that confidence which, did we not deny its
sway, would give earthly love a permanence
that we find but 'seldom in this world"

A writer beautifully remarks, that mans
mother is the representative of his MAKER
Misfortune and even crime set up no barriers
between her and her son. Whilst his mother
lives he will have one friend on earth who will
not listen when he is slandered. who will not
desert him when he suffers, who will sooth
him in his sorrow, and speak TO him of hope
when he is ready to despair. Her affection
knows no ebbing tide. 1t flows on from a
pure fountain, spreading happiness through all
of eternity.

WHOSE FAULT is 1T


Our opponents charge the Wings with bro
ken promises. A slight transmutation of their
can't phrases on this subject, will eviscerate a
a much larger amount of truth and common
sense than they usually embody. For exam
pie, the Wings in 1910. promised that if they
had power to carry out their measures, it
would result in better times-that is:
money plenty and easily come at;
Prices of produce high. and ready sale;
Wages of labor high, and labor in great demand;
Taxes low and few of them"
But before they had time to put single
measure into operation their President died
and the Wings were betrayed. Their mea-
sures have been counteracted by Executive
vetoes; their whole policy has been baffied and
laughed at, and the Government treacherous-
Ily delivered over 10 the counsels and purposes
Of Locofocoism. The result is, worse, instead
Of better times-that is:
"Money scarcer than ever before known.
Produce very low, and still falling.
| Taxes high and increasing.
| Constables busy, and ca Sas plenty.
Usurers and note shavers growing rich on the dis
tress Of the country"
We submit it to an honest and intelligen
people to say, whose fault is III

r, lsEa SONG.
AIR-Of in the Silly Night. ~.
Oft when the heart is sad,
And sorrows clouds hang DER US.
Sweet smiles will make us glad,
Of fairy eyes before US.
The moving cheers Of early years,
The Joy that eve is waking,
From glowing eyes that sympathize,
Preserve the heart from breaking,
Thus when the heart is sad, &c.
When friendship breathes its words
That calm the brow of sadness,
And mirth awakes the chords as
OF merry, social gladness,
We feel that life with all its strife,
Has an elysium ever,
When bliss would seem to be no dream
To cease, oh never, never!
Thus when the heart is sad, &c.

POETRY
"LiKE ORIENT PEARLS AT RANDOM STRUNG"
From Graham's Magazine for September.
"YOU CALL US INCONTANT."


H. TUcKkRMAN.
You call inconstant-you say that we cease
Our homage to pay, at the voice of caprice;
That we daily with hearts till their treasures are ours
As bees drink the sweets from cluster of flowers;
For moments refreshIIent at loves fountain stay
Then turn, with thankess impotence away.
And think you indeed, We cheerfully part
With hopes that give wings to the Oerwearied heart
Aud throw round the future a promise bright
That life seems glory, and time delight!
From our pathway forOrn we Danish the dove,
And yield, without pain, the entertainments of lovea
You know not how chill and relentless wave
Reflection will cast DER the soul of the brave
How keenly the clear rays of duty will beam,
And startle the heart from its passionate dream,
To tear the fresh rose from the garland of youth,
And lay it with tears the altar of truth!
We pass from the presence of beauty, to think
AS the hunter will pause on the preciprice brink
"For me shall the bloom of the gladstone and fair
Be wasted away by the letters of care!
Shall the old, peaceful nest, for my sake, be forget
And the gentle and free know wearisome lot?
''By the tender appeal of that beauty, beware
How you WOO her thy desolate fortune to share;
o pluck not lily so sheltered and sweet,
And bear it not off from its genial retreat:
Enriched with the boon thy existence would be,
But helpless the fate that unites her to thee!"
Thus, dearest the spell thy graces entwined,
No tickle heart breaks, but a resolute mind;
The pilgrim may turn from the shrine with smile,
Yet, brlieve me, his bosom is wrung all the while,
And one thought alone lends charm to the past
That his love conquered selfshness nobly at last.
