First, the mineral wealth Of Canada Is i'm
mense, needing only capital to develop it and
render it a great source Of national wealth.
The Lake Superior copper has already be-
come famous for its extent and value, and
the Acton copper mine, in Lower Canada is
one of the richest in the world. The iron
deposits in the neighborhood Of Lake Supe.
rior seem practically inexhaustible.
In the vicinity Of the Gilbert and the
Chaudiere, rivers in Lower Canada, have
been found large deposits Of gold, which seem
likely to conduce largely to the wealth and
prosperity Of the provinces.
With the oil wells Of upper Canada we are
all more familiar, but probably few among us
have any adequate idea Of their importance
The section Of country embraced by them
is over ten thousand miles.
The quantity OF grain produced by Canada
annually seems almost fabulous. Of wheat
last year over % 900 900 bushels was grown !;
IL, 900 900 bushels Of peas 10000, 900 bush
els Of oats; 100000 tons Of hay 1S,O00,.
600 bushels of buckwheat; rs, DOC, 900 bush
els of potatoes, and 100000 bushels Of
turnips. We also produced 80, 0OO, 900 lbs
Of beef, SHARED 100000 lbs Of wool, and
made 45,O00,O00 pounds of butter. The
number Of milch cows, horses, sheep and
pigs is considerably over two millions.
Turning 10 our manufactures we find
them by no means insignificant Lower
Canada alone contains over 1000 saw mills,
and in one year cut nearly 100000, 900 feet
Of lumber
The coast line from the Gulf of 81. Law
renee to Lake Superior is over 1900 miles,
and beside our magnificent system of water
communication, we have over 1900 miles Of
railroad traversing the country in all direc-
tons.
The population Of Canada liable to mill
tary duty is about half million, the en-
bodied militia about 10000 men, the volun-
teers alone numbering some $4,000.
There are nearly three hundred newspa-
pers in the two Canadas, employing 1000
persons; 5000 schools educating 10000
boys and giris.-Hamiiton @. W. Spectator.

cry o. BarQssa having been the old shout in
hettm fight Of the Munster and Connaught
fr5n, who furnished their ranks. Several Of
the badges are very appropriate to the scene
of the services of the corps by which they
are borne; the sphynx Of Egypt, the ele-
phart and tiger royal of India, the eagles Of
p lssia and France, and "Primus in Indis"
OF the 39th-the first that rounded the
Cape; "Montis insignia calpe," key and
castle, of the 18th, seth, seth and 5Sth.
Some refer to the royal name Of the regi-l
mant, or the place where it was raised; as
the white horse of Hanover, the dragon Of
Wales, priace's plume, or the castles Of
Edinbnrgand Inniskilling, rose and crown,
and, sing sun, and the badges Of the great
national coloys Of knighthood. Some seem
toNhave had a more peculiar origin-as the
paschal lamb of the I'd Foot the dragon of
the Sd Bluffs Vast KENT, that has the privi-
lege Of mtrching, with drums beating and
colors flying, iia5 city Of london, as having
been originally recruited by the 'prentices;

Home and Friends Around Us.
Oh, there's power, 10 make each hour,
Az sweet a. Heaven dedGp'd g.;
Nor need we roam to bring it home,
Though few there be that end 1t.
We seek too high for fhinEs ciase by,
And loose what nature found rs;
For eye hath here no charm 90 dear
"A Home, and Friends around rs.
We on destroy the present Joy
For future hopes, and pr Use them;
While flowers as sweet bloom at our feet,
II we'd but stoop 20 raise them.
For things afar still sweeter are,
When youths bright spell hath bound rs,
But soon we're taught that earth hath naught,
Like Home, and Friends around M.
The friends that speed in time Of need,
When hopes last reed Is shaken,
To show us still that come what win,
We are not quite forsAken.
Though all were night II but the light
From friendships altar crowned US,
Twould prove the bliss Of earth was this
Our Home, aud Friends around US.

The Vegetarlans.

No naturalist who has exsmined the teeth
Of man, and compared their structure with
those of the lower animals, can be of the
opinion that those who call themselves vege-
tsrians, and restrict themselves entirely to a
vegetable diet, are acting in accordance with
the dictates of nature. The teeth Of mar,
partaking as they do, in nearly equal de-
gree, Of the properties of the herbivorous
and carnivorous classes of animals, show
that he has been destined to be nourished by
both descriptions Of food. We do not re-
quire to refer to what would be sufficient
evidence Of the propriety Of useing this kind
Of ailment, viz, the natural instincts Of man
to seek it, or TO the superiority in energy
and stamina seen in those races Of mankind
who freely use it, compared with those who
from circumstances or superstitious ohserv-
snce, do not partal1e Of animal food The
form and structure Of the teeth alone affords
the most conclusive proof that man has been
intended by his Creator to deF,se bis food in
nearly equal degrees from the animal and
vegetable Kingdoms. They win best preserve
their constitutions In unimpaired vigor,
therefore, who do not confine themselves ex-
clusively to the use Of either. --Nisbets Di-
gsstion and the Teeth.

To cure the Bite Of mad dog, take imme-

wash the wound very clean then dry it,
and pour upon the wound few drors Of
muriatic acid Mineral acids destroy the

neutralzed. W.-
