The present condition Of political parties in
this country Is subject Of singular intereststo

which constitute the causes Of difference, and
the difference Of principal, Of profession and OF

Ter, that il is matter Of no small difficulty for
tie candid mind 10 decide what course of inhu-
ence Is safest and best, to discriminate between
The lansieu, and permanent, to draw Idst line

SUNNY DAYS IN WINTER.
BY D. F. MCCARTHY.

b ns r AAtANlMh.
Summer is glorious season,
Warm, and bright, and pleasant;
But the past is not reason
To despise the present;
So, while health can climb the mountain,
And the log lights up the hail,
There are sunny days in Winter,
After all
Spring, no doubt, hath faded from US,
Mailen-like in ctarms
Summer, too, with all her promise,
Persisted in our arms,
But the memory ot the vanished,
Whom our hearts recall,
Maketh sunny days in Winter,
After all
True, there's scarce flower that boometh,
All the best are dead;
But the wall flower still periumeth
Wonder garden bed,
And the lily-Aowered arbutus
Hugs its coral ball,
There are sunny days in Winter,
After all
Summer trees are pretty-yeiN
And love them we'll
But, this holly's gsteuing berry
None of these excel;
While the fir can warm the landscape,
And the ivy clothes the wall,
There are sunny days in Winter,
After all
Sunny hours in every season
Wait the innocent
Those who taste with love and reason
What their God hath sent
Those who neither soar too highly,
Nor too lowly fall,
Feel the sunny days of Winter,
Alter all
Then, although our darling treasures
Vanish from the hearts
Then, although our once loved pleasures
One by one depart;
Though the tomb loom in the distance,
And the mourning pail,
There is sunshine, and no Winter,
After all 1!

and on motion it was resolved, that our
parson wait on Tony Jones, and see il
nothing can be done to correct the man.

Parson waited on Tony senior, informed
him respecting the object of his visit.
Tony listned patiently, and then replied
"Parson, I'd let Tony 90 to meeting

a boy in the city af Swamscot what's got

The parson NODDED assent.
"Now, see, III CALL" And raising his
voice to the highcs pitch, he shoultcd--
"Tony"
The response was quick an equally
LOUD
'Sir"
"Don't You hear that, parson" said
the old man. Don't you call that man
ncrs."
"That is all very WELL" said the parson,
as far as it goes"
"What do you mean by as far as it
goes: That boy, sir, always speaks respect
fully to ME when l call him." and raising
his voice lie againcd called
"Tony."
The response "Sir" was equally loud
and prompt. Again the old man called

instantly recovering himself, he tapped
the parson on the shoulder saying
"lou sec, parson, my boy Las got grit
as well as manners. That chap will be

Sturlrs for tJF $puul1g.

some years ago, when conducting an
Infants School in the town ofS-~.
had occasion to rcprove little boy for in
attention and nd conduct. Finding re-
proof insufficient to improve his behavior,
L sentenced him to stand in the corner of
the room, for quarter of an hour. Just
as the little fellow was going to the ap-
pointed place, another little boy named j..
R--(not six years Of age came up
to me, and said, Please, sir, may stand
in the corner for him ?" This, need not
say, very much surprised and astonished
me. However, suppressing my thoughts,
| said, "if | allow you to take his place, |
shall keep you in the corner ali the time
have named, and quarter Of an hour is
a long time to stand in the corner" This,
however,, did not move him from his Dur.
pose. "Sir," said he, 4" don't mind that"
L then pointed out the disgrace connected
with his being seen in the naughty bows
corner: that when ladies and gentlemen
came in to see the school, they would say,
there stands naughty boy" But no
thing eonld turn j. R aside, he still
persevered in his desire TO stand in the
place of his naughty school-fellow, and to
the corner j. X. was allowed TO eo. In
silent prayer, asked for that wisdom that
cometh rom above, TO enable me 10 turn
this event into some useful lesson.
When the quarter of an hour had .ex.
pired, | called the little fellow to me, and
