INFLUENCE OF NEwspApERs.-A school.
teacher, who had been engaged a long
time in his profession, and witnessed the
influence OF a newspaper upon the minds
of family Of children, writes as fol.
lows:
have found it to be the universal fact
without exception, that those scholars, Of
both sexes, and Of all ages, who have had
access to newspapers at home, when com.
pared to those who have not, are:
l. Better readers, excellent in pro.
nunciation, and, consequently, read more
undetstandipgly.
2. They arc better spoilers, and define
words with ease and accuracy.
3. They obtain practical knowledge of
geography in almost half the time it re.
quires others. as the newspapers have
made them acquainted with the location
Of the important places, nations. their
governments and doings on the globe.
4. They are better grammarans, for,
having become sd familiar with every va.
riety OF style in the newspaper, from the
commonplace advertisement to the flushed
and classical GRAFTON of the statesman,
they more readily comprehend the mean.
ing Of the text, and, consequently, ana
lyze its construction with much accuracy.
8. They write better compositions, us
ing better language, containing more
thoughts, more clearly and more correctly
expressed.
9. These young men who have for
years been readers of the newspapers are
always taking the lead In the debating
societies, exhibiting moro extensive
knowledge upon greater variety of SUBJ
jects. and expressing their views with
greater Auency, clearness and correctness
in their use Of language.

Ode to my New Bonnet.

Ode to my New Bonnet.
Soft triangle of straw and lace
That curves around my blushing face
With such toy, bewitching grace,
No mortal man would dream your place
Was on my head.
Your airy touch can scarcely press
The shape from curl or flowing tress,
So light, so next to nothingness,
You surely could not well be less
And be bonnet.
A bit of straw adorned with leather,
yard of lace, spray Of heather,
Some bugles and tossing feather,
These trifles shaken up together
Thus were you made.
No cape with starchy netting lined,
No buckram crown projects behind;
But streamcrs nutter in the wind,
There flows, in silken mesh confined,
My waterfall.
Yet most your dainty form prize.
As sweeping back above mine eyes,
1t lets the crhkicd hillocks rise,
And underneath in ambush lies
My pair of mice.
But when rough autumn winds sweeps past,
And all your lac,s shake ashast,
Then can you shield me from the blast,
And round my neck shelter cast
To keep mo warm?
Alas, a summer friend are you,
And only kind when skies are blue;
long have known the saying true
Old friends are better than the new
When trouble comes.
So ere the dog day heats be fled.
Let me your hirnsy glorics spread;
For soon IS winter whistles dread
I'll tie once more about my head
My old scoop bonnet.

guns and sounding trumpets, and finally
sailed, intending to renew the search at
another time. Aubri was subsequently
found, sixteen da, $ after he was lost, by
by Champdore, one Of Dc Monts' men,
who returned to examine some ores III
that vicinity. The poor priest was al
most starved to death. This Aabri was
was of good family in Paris, and con.
trary to the wishes of his friends, accom-
panied De Monts from an ardent desire
to visit America.

Croix Island was not only observed the
first Christian alteration performed in
New England, but coupled with it was
that spirit of federation which. thirty
years afterwards, was justly conceived by
Calvert and Williams, to be the sine qua
non in the formation Of generous civil
government.
SAD RECORD OF TIE WINTER.
Dc Monts and his company remained
at st. Croix through the winter Of 1904
%, which season proved to be very rig
orous. The people suffered fearfully
from the scurvy, which was fatal to thir.
ty.six Of their number. The remaining
forty were likewise sick with the same
complaint, but they recovered in the
spring by the use Of fresh vegetables
In the spring, De Monts provisioned and
armed his pinnace, and sailed westerly to
Norom5ega. name given by some Euro
peans to Penobscot Bay. Continuing his
course along the coast he touched at
Kennebec, Casco, Saco, and finally came
to Malebarre, or Cape Cod, as it is now
called. Thence he retraced his course to
St. Croix, and then to Port Royal, to
which place he removed the stores which
had been deposited ut his winter quarters
bat the buildings were left standing.
A CHANGE IN THE SCENE.
. At this point we will leave our rcstive
discoverer to work out the alterations of
his destiny. for bis subsequent career does
not fall within the scope of our subject.
Poutrincourt. with Lcscarbot and Au-
bri having exchanged St. Crox for Port
Royal, disappear from our view and be.
come actors in colonial and ecclesiastical
scenes, which are inseparably blended
with the history Of the Acadian PeniDsu-
II. 1t would indeed be interesting to
follow the footprints Of Poutrincourt, his
colonists and ecclesiastics, in the vicissi-
tudes through which they passed, until
the ill-s:arred day Gn 1913 or 'l4) when
the settlement at Port Royal was broken
up by Sir Samuel Argal, because of the
assumption that the colonists had trenched
on British territory; but these events are
beyond the limits of our caption. aud we
will not here attempt to delineate them.
TIE EpIsCoPALIAN CLAIM RELINoUIsnED.
Some have maintained that Richard
Seymour, a clergyman Of the Church Of
England. who accompanied the Popham
colonists to the mouth OF the kennebec
river in l607.t .perforned the first re-.
lgious worship ever known in New Eng
land,'t but We believe that those who
formerly set up this claim, now relinqnish
it in favor of Lescarbot.S
Here, then. we will leave our subject,
and accord to Lescarbot the distinction
he rightly claims Of occupying leading
position il the annals of the church OF New
England; and we shall consider the fact
established. that ON the Isle of St. Croix
was observed the first religious worship
ever held in New England.
Ellsworth American. [volume] (Ellsworth, Me.) 1855-current, 1865-09-01
THE BAY OF FUNDY REACHED.

Continuing thelr cXpiOTatiohS, tucy
reached an extensive bay westward OF
the peninsula, to which they gave the
name LA Baye FRANCHISE, but which is
now known as the Bay Of Fundy. Dis
covering barrow strait on the eastern
side of this bay, they entered it, land
soon found themselves in u spacious basin
envroned with hills, from which descend
ed streams of fresh water, and between
the hills ran fine navigablc river. which
they called L'Equille now Aliens River].
1t was bordered with fertile meadows,and
full Of delicate fish. Poutrincourt, charmed
with the beauty Of the place. determined
here to take his residence; and having
received a grant of it from De Monts,
gave it the name of Port Royai,'t Gan.
napolis, N. S.
CAPE D'oR-sr. JOHNS RIVER.
They next visited copper mine, which
Halliburton, in history of Nova Scotia, i.
p. l6. conceives to have been at Cape
Dor. On the oath OF June they dis.
covered great er,which they named In
honor OF the patron saint Of that day
St. Johns. Coasting along the bay in a
southwesterly direction they came to a
river, in the middle of which was an is
land Champlain had previously explored.
Because Of its being in safe and con.
venient position. De Monts decided to
build fort on it and to make it the
place of his winter quarters. He gave
to this island the name Of St: Croix, as
has before been stated, which appellaton
was also subsequently applied 10 the riv'
er.
LEsCARBoT's DESCRIPTION OF THE ISLAND.
At the risk Of some repetition we shall
permit Lescarbot to describe this island as
it then appeared to the French adven'
turers.t
"Leaving St. Johns River, they came
following the coast twenty leagues from
that place, to great rirer, which is
properly sea Fl. G. salt water where they
fortified themselves in little island seated
in the midst of this river, which the
said Champlain had been to discover and
view. And seeing it strong by nature,
and Of easy defense and keeping, besides
that the season began to slide away, aud
and therefore it was behoveiul to provide
of lodging without running any farthre,
they resolved to make their abode there.
before we speak OF the ships return
to France. it is meet to tell you how hard
the Isle of St. Croix is to be found out to
