Friction impedes the progress of the rail.
way train, and yet it is only through fric-
tion that it makes any progress. This ap-
parent paradox is explained when we re-
member that by reason of the frictional
''bite' of the drivers upon the track they
draw the train. The bearings of the wheels,
upon the rails are a mere line where they
come in contact, iron and iron, yet this
slight and almost iinperceptible hold is
sufficient to move hundreds of tons of dead
weight with the speed of the wind

ELOQUENT ADVICE OF A MAGISTRATE.
The following is from the Detroit Fes
Press: 'Can't you find nothing to do but
loaf around the wharves and gallop up and
down the alleys, eh ?'' remarked his honor,
as young man named Miller, charged with
vagrancy, was rushed out. 81 am stranger
in this town, dead broke, and nobody to
borrow off, replied the prisoner. 81 can't
help it that you are dead broke" said the
Court. "Id be glad if everybody owned a
silver mine and two coach dogs. The Off
Ger says you have been wandering aimlessly
around, sleeping upon bales of hay, taking
free lunches, and making no effort to amass
a fortune. You don't seem to have any
aim-any ambition eyes, l have,' re-
piled the prisoner ''Where is it, sir
where is it ?" asked his honor, leaning for
ward. "Did you ever hear of Cicero taking
free lunches? Did you ever hear that Plato
gamboled through the alleys.of Athens ?
Tell me, sir, did you ever hear anyone say
that Demosthenes slept under coal-shed
or on bale of hay? If you wanted to be
a Plato there would be fire in your eye,
your hair would have an intellectual cut,
you'd step into clean shirt, and you'd hire
a moving machine to pare those finger
nails. Sir, you have got to go up for four
months.

MEaoB1AL TRIsuTE.-At a meeting
of the vtstry and Wardens of st. An
drew's hrish, held on the 2sth ult., a
committee, consisting of DIR. W-lter H.
Briseoe Capt. George Thomas and d.
C. Hanmett, Esq, having been appoint
ed to prepare a memorial tribute ex-
pressiye of the loss the Parish had sus-
tainel in the death of Hon. Chapman
Billirgsley, lately deceased, the follow
ing Preamble and Resolutions were read
and adopted without dissent.
WHrREAs, it has pleased Almighty
God to take to Himself an earnest and
efficient member of this body, and one
much etdeared to it and respected for
his grea, personal worth and prompt
ness to the demands of every duty he
was called upon to discharge; AND
WHEEEAs, it is fit and proper for sur
viving brothers to recognize the servi-
ces and place upon record some memo
rial of useful membership severed by
death,
Z" Nor, therefore, be ii resolred by the
Festry Of 81. Andrews Parish, That, in
the decease of Chapman Biliingsley, we
are profoundly sensible of tie great
misfortune that has befallen us, and of
the irreparable loss, in counsel and ac-
ton, we have thereby sustained; and
that we lament, in common with our
fellow-citizens who have known his
works and felt the influence of bis life,
the removal from our midst, in the day
of his usefulness, of one who for over
forty-ears sefscd his parish well and
faithfully with wise judicious counsels
and hbcrality that truthfully bespoke
his ardent devotion to its best interests.
Kind, affab,e and generous in his dis-
position, he loved much and was much
beloved by all who could properly APP
preciate his many virtues, and now that
he has been called away, we murmur
not at the will of Providence, but rath-
er rejoice that we were SO long vouch-
safed the benefit of his counsels, for
though now dead still by his bright
example he speaketh to us.
Z" Resolved, That to the Borrowing wild
owof our amented brother We tender
our warmest sympathies, and would farm
commend her to the consultations of that
religion which bore him so triumphant
ly above the fear of death and led him
so calmly through the dark valley" to
the glorious light of heavenly bliss.
Resolred, That these resolutions be
entered in our parish register, publish
ed in the st. Mary's BrAoos anda copy
of them sent to the widow of the de-
ceased.

OAKvrLLE, December 90, 1874


To the Editors Of the ST. Nary's Bea-
con-Dsar Sirs When last wrote l
did not expect ever toagain address you
upon this subject, but within the past
few weeks have learned that mankind
at best have but a loose and deceptive
morality. They look rather at the
mode of committing than to the extent
of crime. The splendid tyrannies of
Richard III. and the high-handed and
relentless manner in which Henry VIII.
put to death, both Catholics and Pro-
testants, appear to have added more
to their fame than their censure. The
noble and patriotic style in which the
leader Of the Confederate States appeal
ed to the Southern people TO take up
arms against the North immortalized
his name in the estimation Of his fol-
lowers, and viii never until ife's men,
DRY perishes be forgotten by his design
ed victims. Hear him what he says in
February, 1861, at Stevenson, Alabama:
1--WE will carry the war where it is easy
to advance, where food for the sword
and torch awaits our armies in the dense
" populated cities" Now, sirs, is it
not more than probable that many In
nocert women and children inhabited
those densely populated eitiess And
can we interpret that declaration IN any
other manner than that there was to be
a general eonfiagration and slaughter /.
1t NAV be doubted, but If such be the
case they are doubts from which mans
ingenuity allows few truths, however
plain, wholly to escape. But the most
ingenious reasoning and the utmost fe-
licity at guessing are but idle when OPP
posed to plain facts, such as is express
sed in the above declaration, coupled
with the real earnest effort on the part
of Mr.. Perry to carry out the same In
the spirit and to hefullest extent of the
authors intention. But is not Mr.. r.
now.representing himself to be the wise
moralist and holding upon high the cup
of mercy, that mercy which Is buta nick
name for the rage of tameless tigers
thirsting for blood, should he have any
lawless object to accomplish? In days
gone by 1 have been Mr.. P.'s friend,
