In the death of DR.. Chalmers there has passed
from our horizon one of the greatest and brightest
luminaries of the Church, and shade is cast upon
millions. Probably no man. in our day, has exert

than DIR. Chalmers. The variety and extent Of his
knowledge, the gentleness and benevolence Of his
temper, the originality aud spendor OF his genius
and eoquence, aud his high devotion TO the moral

surprising influence over The opinions aud manners
of the age. The extinction Of no star ought so deep

The Farmers Song.

Success to the jolly old farmer,
VINO sings at the tail Of his plough
The monarch Of prairie aud forest,
"ris only to God he may bow
He is surely fortunate fellow,
He raises his bread and his cheese;
And though hard is his labor in summer,
In winter he lives at his ease
When the rule Of stern winter is broken,
And spring comes to gladden. and bless
When the hocks in the pasture are sporting,
And the robin is building her nest
The farmer walks forth to his labor,
And manly and firm is his tread,
As be scatlers the seed for the harvest A
That yields 10 the nations their bread.
His banks are all chartered by nature
Their credits are ample and SURE
His clerks never slope with deposit,
Pursued by the curse Of the poor.
His stock is the best in the market,
His shares are the shares of his plough
They bring the bright gold to his Golfers
And pleasure and health TO his brow.
When his fields with rich harvests are ieeming,
And the reapers go forth 10 their TOLL
None so happy and flee as the farmer
Possessor and lord OF the soil
He sings while he roams his broad acres,
As none but farmer can sing,
And would not exchange his condition
For the sPlendor and pomp of king.
When his crops are all gathered and sheltered,
And his cattle are snug in the fold,
He sits himself down by his Preside,
And laughs al the tempest and cold.
stranger TO pride and ambition,
His duties he strives 10 fulfil
Determined, whatever betides him,
To let the world jog it will.
His trust is in Him who has gwen
The seasons, the sunshine and rain,
Who has promised him "seed-time and harvest"
So long as the earth shall remain
And if from his duties he wander,
Led on by his venturcsome will,
Through life and its changing relations,
Gods providence follows him still
