himself for what he had deemed the right
cause. Suppose the imaginary Mr.. Sum-
ner were to declare that, in erecting q
statute to Lord Edward on st. Stephens
green, he had no meaning whatever ex-
cept to commemorate his personal merits,
should we believe one word of the story
Our real answer to American critics, if
they think it worth while to take affront,
is simply the following That it is not
our habit to take account of the eccentri-
cities of individual Englishmen; that
Mr.. Beresford Hope does not represent
Parliament, or even the Tory section of
it, or in truth anybody, and that his act
binds nobody; that even as regards HIM
self--a genial and good-natured man-it
indicates no real hostility towards the
American people or Government, but only
furnishes an additional proof of the spec.
ial incapacity of too many of our aristo-
cracy to enter into the mind of people of
another class either at home or abroad, or
to understand in what manner their out
recuIdance offends at times against decen-
cy or dignity, But, however it may salts
fy ourselves, such an answer would hard
ly turn away wrath in others. And yet
while thus apparently blind to the reck-
less manner in which we run counter to
the general feeling of our neighbors on
the most sensitive points, we complain,
and demonstrate, and are surprised at the
unpopularity of such well-meaning people
as ourselves. MUTATo NoMINE.

LUDLow.-The closing services of
Black River Academy took place at the
Town Hall, Tuesday evening l4st. 1t
was our good fortune to be present, not
only at the final exhibition, but als) dur
ing a portion of the examination. Every
class that came under QUE observation
showed unmistakeable evidence of thor
ough training. All were wort thy of men
tion, but to name few is Il we can do.
The classes in mathemstics. without ex-
oeption, did themselves great credit. The
class in geometry never was exce)led in
this school, if in the State. The classes
in astronomy, rhetoric, etc, showed
thoroughness of drill rarely attained. In
fact, the character of the examination was
such as to impress the listener with the
idea that the students had IN asteFsd the
several branches upon which they had
been engaged. We noticed, with pleas
ure, that grammar-too long neglected in
the school-was receiving its share of at
tention. The examination spoke volumes
for the efficiency of the teachers.
Monday evening an exhibition of the
younger portion of the members of the
school was given in the Town Hall. The
music, declamatioHs, recitations, etc, were
very interesting. We are glad to see this
step in the right direction The younger
portion of the school should have a chance
to display their proficiency as we'll as the
older. The exhibition of Tuesday even
ing, under the auspices of the "Adelphio
Union" was quite successful. The decla-
nations, recitations, selections, essays,
music, etc, were all good. The funds
raised at this entertainment are to be used
for the purpose of starting a Library.
This will be valuable acquisition to the
"Adelphic Union This society has been
in operation some eight years, and isl
doing good work in connection with the
school.
At the close of the exercises, Tuesday

copy of Webster's Unabridged Dictionary.

Almost Home.

My scattered locks are thin and gray,
My eyes are growing dim,
My steps are nearing, day by day,
The dusky rivers rim, ..
Whose waters span the narrow way
That stretches up to him,
I sit beside the cottage door,
Within the summer sun;
My skiff is rolling on the shore,
My daily task is done;
The wearied hand has dropped the oar,
The goal is almost won. ...
The busy life of other years
Steals oft across my brain,
It's hours of gladness' and of tears,
Ofpleasure and Of pain;
Like others lives its hopes and fears,
And mingled loss and gain
One night the wild waves swept the strand,
The sea was all foam;
That night the gallant bark, full manned,
Drove on the breakers comb;
The helm was in my fathers hand.
His ship was almost home.
They found his form. Beneath the blow
My mother shrank and died,
And when the land was wrapped in snow
They laid her by his side;
And DER them ever sounds the slow,
Sad moaning of the tide,
My feet have wandered wide and far,
In many a sunny land,
Have stood where Greenlands icebergs are,
Hard by the northern strand,
Have pressed the heath of highland scaur,
And trod Sahara's sand.
Beneath the orange trees WOE
A dark-eyea child of Spain,
But the bright daughter of the sun
Dropped by our northern main
And many year my darling one
Has meath the daisies lain.
The sun is sinking in the west,
The night wind rises chill,
The waves are tipped with silver crest,
The pines mean on the hill,
Aud, like the sun, I seek my rest,
To b.de the Fathers will.

Getting along i'm the World.

There are two ways of getting through
the world. Some have the knack OF ''get-
ting along" while others work their way.
The man who "gets along" is always de-
vising some expedient by which TO shirk
the primal ourse-or rather-of labor.
He starts a gift lottery or exhibits n fat
hog to the gazing populace at quarter
per head He becomes a book agent, a
patent right swindler, iuvents a auaek
medicine, warranted to cure all the ills
that flesh is heir to, and gets minister to
endorse il, be ndvertises "five hundred
receipts for making a fortune in less than
no time" off ring them to the gull1ble
public at the extraordinary price of one
dollar, or he turns politician and is re-
warded with consulship to the Feiee
Islands. He il always changing the Oh
jeot of his pursuit, now running i'll one
direction and now in another, and this he
calls getting along.
The man who "works his way in the
world" chooses the business of life with
careful reference to his tastes and cspaci-
ties, and then steadily sticks to it. He
becomes master of one string and draws
from it such melody as soothes him in the
darkest hours. II he does not grow rich
he becomes respected and honored. His
perseverance, is counted unto him as
virtue, aud men say "he is one Of the old
standard" He sticks to his business and
business sticks to him. What it brings to
him he knows how to value and enjoy, for
he has earned it, He has his "ups and
downs" but they are only the uudula-
tions which carry him steadily over the
waves of life's ocean. With continued
practice comes skill-and that is always
in demand. Sohe works his way upward,
and is kho~yn as rising man. But he
does not go up like rocket, to come down
like stick His progress is gradual but
sure, for be works bis way" he lays
good foundation for every upward step.
He developcs his powers, and is happy in
their exercise. He is a truly devout man.
for he works his way" and all labor ia
worship in nn inferior degree. He full
fills the object of bis being, in accordance
with the law of his Creator, for al things
in nature work their way"
The man who ''eets along in the world"
may get rich, but his life is always fail
urea nero make-sbift. His riches may
be admired, but he il seldom respected.
Most often he does not obtain wealth. and
sometimes he 'gets along" to the ao0rk-
house. He who would not work for him
self at last obliged to work for others.
There is knack in getting along"
but the true art of life consists 'in work
ing your way" Young men concentrate
your powers. Diffusion is the great evil
of life. Become master of your business,
and you are master of other men For he
who by application and perseverance, ac
quires facility and aptitude, is always in
demand, and is bound to succeed.

$4,000, struck by order of Congress in
1867, for presentation to Cyrus w. Field,
in honor of the success of the Atlantic
cable, which was supposed to have soon
after been stolen, was found on Saturday

heard that it had been stolen, or that
Congress had made an appropriation for

WALLINGFoRD. - Thanksgiving was
quite generally observed in Wallingford,
most every family had it's turkey. The
religions services were held in the Baptist
church, Union service; Sermon by Rev.
J. Fletcher, d. d. Rev. Aldaoe Walker.
d. D., was also present and assisted in the
services. The house was crowded with q
large and appreoiative audience, composed
OF all the most respectable of our citizens
The Rev. Doctor took for hia text the
2Oth verse Of tho 147th Psalm.
He said we were assembled to show
our respect not only for earthly institu-
tions, but also for those of higher char
acter. That this was a time to lay aside
all sectarian feeling, TO repress every un-
hallowed emotion, and to promote and
excite only those feelings that express our
dependence upon God. If Gods dealings
with the ancient Hebrew nation should
cause them to express the language of his
text, how should we find language to ex-
press our thoughts in view of what He
has done for us. He spoke of our eoodlv
inheritage, our fertile lands and broad
waters, our stores of iron and hills of
gold, our blessed government, our liberty,
our intelligence. He spoke at length of
the goodness of God in affording the ia.
cilities for our great prosperity. The ex-
tent of our broad domain, equal to the
third continent of the eastern world
Our shores that were washed by the
waters of the two mighty oceans were
1000 miles apart, and we enjoyed almost
every climate in the wide stretch from
the st. Lawrence to the Gulf of Mexico.
We have nearly 10000 miles of sea coast,
with broad Lakes that would aoat the
commerce of the world, mighty rivers,
navigable for thousands of miles. Our
mineral wealth was untold.
de spoke of our true Saxon spirit COM
olned with Yankee enterprise that was
pushing and subduing every obstacle.
Already has our commerce encircled the
globe We have over 10000 miles of

ready for casting, and that it promises to
be work of art worthy alike of the art

already received will, we understand, be
sufficiet to cover all expenses. We clip
the following correspondence from the
Pail Mall Gazette:
To the Editor Of tie Pail Mall Gazette:
S1R,-Suppose we were to read in an
American newspaper the following an
nouncement:--" statue of Lord Ed
ward Fitzgerald, killed in 1898 when re-
sisting British authority in Ireland, has
been executed by the great American
Sculptor, Mr.. Story, and is nearly COM
pleted. The subscriptions have been col
lected by Mr.. Charles Sumner as Treas
totr a - "a .
Stephen's-green, Dublin" .....-... ...
[ leave you to judge of the temper in
which such piece of information would
be received in this country, and of the
comments which it would provoke on the
subject of American ill-will toward Eng
land, and American forwardness to med
die in British affairs.
Very we'll; then look at this extract
from the Globe Il take it at second hand
from the 1ipaes):-- -f
The statute of General Stonsgall Jackson,
which committee, with Mr. Beresford Hope as
treasurer, was formed to erect, is in the hands of
Mr.. Foley. The effigy will be shortly ready for
casting, and it promises to be work of art worthy
alike of the sculptor and of the subject. The
subscriptions already received will be sufficient to
cover all expenses. The statute will be erected
in Virginia, United States.
snouio IKE TO know who can Suggest
the slightest distinction between the sup
posed case and the real one.
No doubt, if the promoters were put on
their defence, we should be favoured with
q good deal Of fummery. We should be
assured that nothing could be further
from their intention than to annoy and
irritate any section of the people of the
United States that their only object was
to do honor to brave general, Christian
soldier, an unfortunate patriot, and SO
forth. And what wrs Lord Edward
/? Not, ind led, military hero,
but gallant enthusiast, than whom none
ever embarked on desperate undertake
ing in more thorough singleness OF pur.
pose, and who had the exceptionable
merit that he renounced all the advan-
tages Of nobility and position to sacrifice
