posed he would not be allowed to repea,
a figure Of speech used by Mr.. Burke in

stated was in reference to Lord Thurlow,
who had interviewed in some Legislative
business contrary to the orator sense OF
right and decorum, and that Burke said
of Thurlow's intrusive opinion that he

bend, was mistaken in attributing the re-
mark to Burke. II our memory of the

the observation to Burke, and who there.

For women will speak Of what RUNslS THEIR

On she Oath Of May, 1915, an adven-
turous navigator started from England,
towards the frozen North. to solve. il
possible. the grea. problem Of north
west passage. He was man of indom-
table will, a perseverance that never
quaiied--a courage that never faltered.
He held Il commission in the navy OF his
country, and had won an honorable
name to transmit 10 his pos,eri,y. His
vessels were Of the strongest, built for
the hazardous undertaking befo.e him,
and his crews were, like himself, indom-
liable in courage and perseverance
Thus equipped, Sir John Franklin and
his noble crew bid farewell to the shores
OF old England and swung out upon the
ocean. He steered for the cold North,
touched at few ports on his way, around
which civilization clusters. and then dis
appeared in the Polar Seas. Three
years passed away and no tidings Of the
adventures came back. Alarm seized
his friends and countrymen, and other
vessels started across oceans to search
for the hardy navigators. Their search
was fruitless.
The cold Northern Seas Law there,
frackless and silent in their frozen des-
olation, uttering no voice, giving no sign
Of the fate Of those in regard to whom
the worlds mind was throbbing with
such deep anxiety. The ,arch was not
abandoned. Other vessels under COM
mand OF generous hearted nnvigators,
started for the north to ascertain, if pos
sible, their fate. A noble hearted Amer
lean merchant sent his ships to the north
ern waters to look for the lost men, to
find them out if living, or to find their
graves il dead. Hope still fingered in
the hearts OF their friends, and clung to
the desperate chance OF their still being
among the living. At last all the search
ers have returned. No tidings nave
been obtained of Franklin, his ships, or
his noble crew.
