ANNEXATION OF MAINE TO CANApA-Thc Mon
treal Riot wants to acquire the State of Maine,
and says:
Portland will still have to be our Atlantic
terminus for th" season, and we now feel more
than ever the effects Of that stupidity. which, in
settling the boundaries between Canada and the
United States, was the means of deriving MS of
what should have been ours, the through rieht of
passage to the sca-board. Every now and then
Cousin Jonathan is fond of twitting us about our
annexation proclivitcs--and the certainty that
one day Canada will become part and parcel of
the United States. There ARE many wonders, no
doubt, looming in the distance but we do not
think this is likely to be one of them If Canada
could, however, by annexation, purchase or in
any other way acquire possession of the State of
Maine-which, Of right, ought to have been here
it would conducc largely, and would add ma

GIVE THEM "SAFE GUIDANCE AND THE BEST
PRorEcrIoN."-A correspondent Of the Philadel-
phia Press says IL is altogether unsafe for ladies
to take passage on the steamers for California,
without a proper companion. There are gentle
manly roues on the watch for them, and deeds OF
terrible crime have been perpetrated in conse-
qucncc. Any woman travelling on that route will
find plenty who will be willing to assist her, and
they will be very attentive, and make themselves
very agreeable, aud the ladies themselves, in
their innocence, cannot understand why it is that
such attention is paid to them, until they are lost
in shame and prostitution.

The Mountains Of Life.

There's a land far away, mid the stars we are
told.
Where they know not the sorrows of Time
Where the pure waters wander through valleys
of gold,
And life is treasure sublime
'Tis the land of our God, 'ts the home of tho
SOUL
Where the ages in splendor eternaly roll
where the way-weary traveller reaches his goal,
On the evergreen Mountains of Life.
Our gaze cannot soar to that beautiful land,
But our visions have told of its bliss,
And our souls by the gales from its gardens are
famed,
When we faint in the garden Of this:
And we sometimes have onged for its holy reposc,
When our spirits were torn with temptations and
woes,
And we've drunk from the tide of the river that
flows
From the evergreen Mountains of Life
Oh the stars never tread the blue heavens at
night,
But we think whore the ransomed have trod-
And the day never smiles from his palace of light,
But we feel the bright smile Of our God
We are travelling homeward through changes and
gloom,
To q kindom where pleasures increasingly bloom.
And our guide is the glory that shines through
the tomb,
From the evergreen Mountains Of Life.
