A BLESSED DAY-What a blessed day
is Sunday to the weary man, who necessa-
rily catches but grief glimpses of home du-
ring the toiling week; who is off in the
morning while little eyes are still closed in
slumber, nor back at night till they are
again closed in sleep. What would he
know Of the very children for whom he is
toiling, were it not for the blessed breathing
respite Of Sunday? What honest working
mans child will ever forget this day, when,
clean and neat, it is his privilege to climb
papa's knee and hang about his neck, and
tell him all the news which goes to make
his narrow little world Narrow, did we
say We recall the word, for it widens out
to the boundless ocean of eternity. Sunday
for the workingman's children! So would
we have it-a day hallowed by sweet, pure
home influences; when the little band,
quite complete, shall rest from labor, and
Love shall write it down the blessed day Of
all the seven.

Life is but q Span.


Life is but span--of horses;
One is Age, the other Prime
Up and down the hill our course is
90 Go in, ponies, make your time"
Boyhood plies the whip of pleasure
Youthful folly gives the stroke;
Manood goads them at his leisure
Let 'em rip" they're tough as oak.
Hi, va, there the stakes we'll pocket"
To the winds let care be sent;
Time 2:40, whip in socket;
"Give 'em string, and let 'em went"
On the sunny side to fifty,
Prime is drowned in Lethe's stream;
Age is left, old and unthrifty-
Life then proves "a one-horse team"
Age jogs on, grows quite unsteady,
Reels and slackens in his pace
Kicks the bucket" always ready,
"Gives it up;"-Death wins the race.

NEwsPAPERs.-A man eats up pound
of sugar, and the pleasure he has enjoyed is
done with; but the information he can get
from newspaper is treasured up in the
mind, to be used whenever his inclination
calls for it, A newspaper is not the wisdom
of one man or two men; it is the wisdom of
the age-of past ages, too. A family with
out a newspaper is always half an age be-
hind the times; they never think much, nor
find much to think Of And there are the
little ones growing up in ignorance, without
taste for reading. Besides these evils,
there is the wife, who, when her work is
done, has to sit down with her hands in her
lap, with nothing to amuse her mind from
the cares and tolls of the domestic circle
Who would be without a newspaper?

DECREASE OF POPULATION IN CANADA.
The Canadian papers speak of decrease
in population. A writer in the Toronto
Leader says: "While we are speaking of
defense, militia, etc., our industrious and in
dispensable classes of mechanics, workmen,
laborers, ETC., are, with their families, leav-
ing daily by the hundred from our land to
obtain subsistence in neighboring coun-
try afflicted with civil war. Our popula-
ton, already inadequate to this immense ter
ritory, is every day decreasing immeasura-
bly,. The forests, the wilderness, which not
long since were changing into beautiful
fields, dread less the persevering hand of
man. New towns are no longer seen to
spring up. Capital brought into the coun-
try formerly by the exertions of some of our
great men, who were often ungratefully cal
umniated, no longer contributes to the en-
largement or establishment of our cities
nor the erection of any new public edifces,
but hidden, as it were, is Improbable to the
public welfare. Even foreign immigration
the true wealth Of new country, and which,
to certain degree, was prosperous and had
found its way to Canada, has also Of late
turned its tide to the United States"

A TRUE LOVE STORY.-Cobbett tells US
how an English yeomen loved and courted,
and how he was loved in return and pret-
tier episode does not exist in the English
language. Talk of private memoirs of
courts-the gossip of the cottage is worth
them all Cobbett, who was a sergeant-ma-
lor in regiment of foot, fell in love with
the daughter of a sergeant of artillery, then
in the same province of New Brunswick
He had not passed more than an hour in her
company, when noticing her modesty, quiet
ude, and her sobriety, he said, "that's the
girl for me" The next morning he was up
early, and almost before it was light passed
the sergeant's house. There she was in the
snow, scrubbing out washing tub. "That's
the girl for me, again cried Cobbett, al
though she was not more than fourteen and
he was nearly twenty-one "From the first
day spoke to her." he writes, 81 had no
more thought of her being the wife of any
other man than 1 had the thought of her
becoming chest of drawers"
He paid every attention to her, and young
as she was, treated her with all confidence.
He spoke to her as his friend, his second
self But in six months the artillery was
ordered to England, and her father with
them. Here was indeed a blow Cobbett
knew what Woolwich was, and what temp
tation young and pretty girl would
be sure to undergo He therefore took to
her his whole fortune, one hundred and fifty
guineas, the savings of his pay and over
work. and wrote to tell her that if she did
not find her place comfortable to take lodg-
ings and put herself to school, and not work
too hard, for he would be home in two years.
"But," as he says, "as the malignity of the
devil would have it, we were kept abroad
two years longer than our time, Mr.. Pitt
having knocked up dust with Spain about
Nootka Sound. o, how [ cursed Nootka
Sound, and poor bawling Pitt" But at the
end of four years Cobbett got his discharge.
He found his little girl servant of all
work, at-fve pounds year, in the house Of
a Captain Brisac, and, without saying a
word about the matter, she put into his
hands the whole of the hundred and fifty
guineas unbroken!
What pretty, tender picture is that :
the young sergeant and the little girl of
eighteen, who kept for four years the treas
ure untouched, waiting with patience her
lovers return What kindly; pure trust, on
both sides The historical painters of our
royal Academy give us scenes from English
intrigue and bloodshed Why can they not
give us a scene of true English courtshp
like that? Cobbett, who knew how to write
sterling English better than any man of his
own day, and most men of ours, does not
forget to enlarge upon the scene, and dearly
he loved his wife for her share of it; but
he does not forget to add that with his love
was mixed "selfgratulation on this indubi-
table proof of the soundness of his own
Judgment"

Going to Law.

An Upper and Lower Mill
Fell out about the water;
To war they went, that is to law,
Resolved to give no quarter.
A lawyer was by each engaged,
And hotly they contended;
When fees grew slack the war they waged
They judged were better ended.
The heavy costs remaining still
Were settled without pOther--
One lawyer took the Upper Mill,
The Lower Mill the other.

OUR PIPE.-We have been advised to

ment behind which we take shelter when
trouble draws near, and which you would
wantonly destroy, has "cleaned out" blues
enough to make a score of suicides; and we

lar specimen, but all pipes have our regard.
The pipe is classical Shakespeare smoked !;
Milton always took a Whit or two before he

The soldier smokes to calm himself on the

The contribution of Mr.. Howison, in his his
tory of the war. is the most interesting this
month that we have yet seenfr hispeu, and
gives increasing promise Of work of supe-
rior merit. II is not the heated off throw

private malice, or the rsncor of party. 1t

The other contents are in general satisfae-
tory, and the prosperity of this old monthly
will be hailed with pleasure by the public.
We regret the duty of marking for EN-
phatic condemnation two exceptions. ar
