Much dissatisfaction is expressed at
the appointment Of Mr.. Edward Morton

The North German Gazette expresses
its firm conviction of the sincerity of the

The Times, in leading article, Off

Dispatches have been received from
Paris which state that affairs in Italy

of the damnable doctrine as he claims.
His previous history would point to him
at once as such. Besides Ben and Pen
dleton never were possessed of much orig
inality. However, we don't believe
they will quarrel with George Francis
now as to the authorship of the scheme,
as it has turned out to be the poorest
stock ever put on the political market.

The Old Church Bell.

'Tis Sabbath morn, and the ding, dong, del
or the old Church Dell
Falls sweetly on my ear
Its solemn peals recall TO mind
Those scenes, 10 memsry dear.
when hand In hand, by my mothers side,
In holy,day attire,
| trlfdged along the time-worn path,
To the church with towering spire,
When she knelt there, In solemn prayer
nestled by her side,
A gay and careless child was
tnsOiled by sin and pride.
Her sanity hand was on my head,
A tear stole down her cheek,
| wondered then, that one so good
Should e'er have cause to weep.
Long years in stranger lands have changed
To brown, my AaIen curls,
While time and care In ehtious haste
Have strung those locks with pearls.
Still now as then does the ding dong, del,
or the old Church Bell
Fall sweetly on my earl
But wonder not why the pure and good
Should shed the silent tear.

OLD AGE.

Days of my youth, ye have glided away;
Hairs of my youth. ye are frosted and gray;
Eyes of my youth, your keen sight is no more;
Cheeks of my youth, we are iurrowcd all DER;
Strength of my youth, all your vigor is gone;
Thoughts of NY youth, your gay visions are flown.
Days of my youth, wish not your recall;
Hairs of my youth, I'm content ye should fall;
Eyes of my youth, you much evil have seen;
Cheeks of my youth, bathed in tears you have
been;
Thoughts of my youth, you have led me astray;
Strength of my youth, why lament your decay?
Days of my age, ye will shortly be passed;
Pains of my age, yet awhile you can last;
Joys of my age, in true wisdom delight
Eyes of my age, be religion your light;
Thoughts of my age dread We not the cold SD;
Hopes of my age, be ye fixed on your God.

Water Power EsiU Passed,

Positive information is received from
Springfield that the bill authorizing the city
of Ottawa to subscribe 100000 to the pros
posed dam and water power enterprise at
Ottawa has passed both branches Of the leg
islature. and been APP roved by the Governor.
In what pre- Use shape the bill has passed,
however-whetber the vote on this question
in September lat is legalized or not, or
whether a new vote must be taken whether
the subscription is reduced or not; whether
it is made discretionary with the CITY COINS
Gil 10 subscribe the sum or not, or whether
commissioners are named to make the sub
scription-all these are questions which
have been mooted in connection with the
bill, and can only be answered by copy of
the biz itself. In whatever shape the bill
has passed, however, there is no questd that
the people Of Ottawa, by an overwhelming
ority-desire this investment of SOD, 900,
without ifs, ands, or Attachments, to be made
in the water power enterprise, and whether
they must vote upon it again or not, we cons
slider it as settled, that the work viii be cons
meaced early i'll spring, and put through"
with energy. There is a settled conviction
that Ottawa will never be the city her posi-,
ton and advantages entitle h er to be, until
this water power is made available, and that
grand starting point for her future g1owth
must be attained forthwith. Grumbings
about the :. incubus of big debt cut no
figure in the question. Capital will not
come here and do for Ottawa what she 4h 5ud
do for himself. ''The gods help them that
help themselves"
