her husband under the bed, and venture

Uaughter) Ny principal object in ris-
ing tonight is to correct an impression
that seems TO have sunk deep into the
English mind-and that is, that the
Americans want Canada. Now, if you
want to insult the American people that
is the most sensitive way. / never yet
heard an American say that he wished
to have Canada. Wh9 ever heard of a
prosperous city wishing to annex the
town poor of a neighboring city,
| have seen strange sight, where the
aims house of a nation wished TO be set
of in field by itself, as in the case Of
Secession. (Cheers.) Annexation Of
bed-Tidden land is another thing. You
have only TO cross the line to see the diff
ference between incidence and industry,
adversely and prosperity, One is the
Old World, the other the New. One is
going to a funeral, the other 70 a we'd
ding. Laughter.) Americans are not
and never have been ambitious to be bur-
dened, as England is, with such thrift
less community. All our treaties have been
to Canada's advantage. Canada has in
troduced Federal currehcy-dOllars aud
cents--and the Reciprocity Treaty has
begun to instil little enterprise into the
people. The climate is cold-Americans
prefer their ice in hot weather. Canada
and the United States started about the
same time--the one has thirty millions,
the other three--the one has poets, his
torians and statesmen, the other a Grand
Trunk Stumble Canada's course towards
the United States has been contemptble
during our troubles; and hope that the
Americans will remember il when Canada
comes to Washington begging to be am
nexed to our Great Republic. ("Oh,"
cheers and laughter.) When you hear
any one say that America wants Canada,
please deny it, There is a wide differ
ence between stealing green apples and
having your neighbor present them to
you after they are ripe. Canada rings
herself into notoriety by always saying
America wants TO annex her and it
pleases England's vanity TO keep up the
delusion. How astonished that negress
was when, asking for pair of fesh-col-
ored stockings, the thoughtful shOpman
handed out pair of J2ack ones. cloud
laughter) America would not accept a
colony that did not possess enterprise
enough TO make barrel. Naughtcr.)
Never believe all you hear
England is always giving Canada good
advice. Chesterlield's son must have
been stupid ass 10 have required 50 ma
ny letters telling him how to act when
going into company. CHATS so.) Ca
NADIA was foolish to fare up so on the
Trent. "What did you take that tobac-
co out of my chest for" asked the sail
or and his mate quietly replied, al did
not" "Then l am liar, am ]" follow
ing up the movement with blow. laugh
teri England was equally active on the
Trent. If Canada behaves herself some
day we may consent TO let her have the
benefit Of some moro of our institutions
(hear,) But England ought not to calcu-
late upon the Canadians being loyal.
"There is a horrid rumor," said frail
and lovely countess once TO a noble earl,
"that is being circulated TO my disgrace
at the West-End that have had twins"
"Give yourself no uneasiness," replied
his lOrdship. Il never believe more than
half what / year" Qaughter.) Canada
is five millions short this year-and the
Grand Trunk Railway is making her
shorter, If Canada win keep on her side
Of the fence-America will promise not
only not 70 modest her but will not even
mention her name or give her another
thought. Canada's sympathy with the
South will not make one hair black or
white, nor will England's. America is
beyond the reach Of Europe. Neutrality
now has lost its sting, That couplet OF
Lord John Manners has become famous
| IN truth and honor, God and instice die,
But give us ever our base neutrality,
