magni6cence was given in London to the Earl

taken by Lord J. Russell. and among those
present were Mr.. Buchanan, the American

gentlemen. The Earl of Elgin replied to a

sion of which he said:
Il only add word or two with regard to
the sympathy of the United States of America
for Canada. The sympathy of the United
States is of the sympathy of noble and high
minded people and governmental sympathy
toward Youthful and kindred people who are
endeavorng, with steps not so unequal as ma
ny persons imagine, to march side by side with
them in the career of moral and material i'm
provement.r-(Cbeers.}
The Earl Of Ellesmere having proposed the
health of the American Minister, Mr.. Buchan-

as follows:
I-cannot suffer this occasion to pass without
expressing my qualification with her Majesty's
wise and liberal declaration IN favor of neutral
commercial rights during the existing war. 1t
is worthy ofthe civilization of the nineteenth
century, and worthy Of the best constitutional
ereign who has ever sat upon the proud and
powerful throne of Great Britain.

No chains so unworthy 10 hold you

Sad or bright. she is lifeless ever;
Cast her phantom arms away,
Nor look back, save to learn the lesson
OF nobler strife to-day.
Arise for the hour is passing;
The sound that You diinly hear,
Is your enemy marching to battle =
Rise risel for the foe is near!
STAY not to brighten your weapons,
Or the hour will strike at last,
And from dreams of coming battle,
You will waken, and find it past.

AMERICAN YOUNG MEN.

American history presents many remarkable
instances of young men taking prominent ard
commanding stations at an age which would
be thought very youngi in other countries. We
subioin few striking examples, from list of
those who have passed off the stage of human
action.

the Continental Congress; at 80, he was one of
the abless members of the Convention which
framed the Constitution of the United States; Mt
81. he was Secretary Of the Treasury, and or
ganized that branch of the government upon so
complete and comprehensive a plan. that 40
change has since been made upon IT.
John Jay, at the age of %, was a member Of

Cutting TIB,Jer-If If oak, or chestnut timber,
be felled in the eighth month, (August) in the
taeeo1.d running cfthe sap, and barked, quite
large tree will season perfectly. and even the
twigs will remain sound for years; whereas
that cut in winter, and remain until next fall,
las thick as ones wrist, will be completely sap
rotten, and will be almost useless for any Rur-
pose. The body of the oak split into rails. will
not last more than 10 or II years. Chestnut
will last longer, but no comparison to that cut
in the eighth month. Hickory cutin the eighth
month is not subject to be rm-eaten, and
will last long time for fencing.
When | commenced farming in 1902, it was
the practice to cut timber for post fencing IN
the winter. White-oak posts and blackjack
rails. cut at that time, found would not last
more than 10 or u years. In the year 1908,
I commenced cutting fence limberin the eighth
month. Many of the oak rails cut that year
are vet sound, as well rs most of those formed
of chestnut If the bark is not taken off this
month, however, it will peel off itself the Sec
ond or third year, and leave the sap perfectly
sound The tops of the trees are also more
valuable for fuel, than when cut in he winter
or spring.

for themselves, and if post-fence will not last
