Western fellow traders. Nevertheless,
there are signs of renewed activity in
Montreal, and the mechanics and labor
ing men now idle will, no doubt, soon
find employment at the manufacturing
establishments. which, having been
closed for some time, are resuming
operations. An inquiry which vas in
stituied lately as to the probable volume
of imports for the spring trade shows
a reduction of one-third of the amount
received last year. This is in itself
favorable sign, for it augurs the adop-
ton of a policy of caution, which will
result in relieving both importers and
dealers from the incubus of dead stocks
and consequent financial stringency.
Another favorable feature is the amount
of public work going on, including the
Welland Canal enlargement and several
railway undertakings. Money is plen-
tiful at the banks, and will become still
more easy when spring opens. On bond
and mortgage the rates are less than
they were few months ago, and invest
ments are advertised for. We look for
ward to a fair spring trade throughout
the greater part of Ontario, and a slow
but steady progress toward a new cycle
of great prosperity and advancement.

NORTHERN SNOW.
By WILL WALLACE HARVEY.

An exile To The pine and palm,
see the fur-winged summer brood,
Through azure depths of endless calm,
Above nursing solitude.
And ample breadths of bloom unfurled,
As sweet as that vOluptuOus South
Where Antony gave the Roman world
For Egypt's CLEOPATRA mouth
All things of sight and sound appear
To breathe of nothing but content,
As if unheeded, through the year,
The vagrant seasons came and went,
Yet often, when hear the rain,
In fleece of vapOr, whisper low.
Like ghosts about the window-pane,
My heart would leap to see the snow. -
To see beyonk the frozen meres,
In chalk and crayon's black and white,
The river hills, through atmospheres,
Wind-blown, in dazzle points of light.
The smothered roofs that lie below
The little wreaths of thin blue smoke,
Where dodder holds handfuls of snow
Above them on its mother oak.
In smooth, white levels lies the creft;
A mound of snow the lockwood shines;
Still sweet the trowels, white and soft,
In sloping curves and sweeping lines.
Soft flutriesi as shadow blurs
The page in passing, light and fleet;
Like soft, warm faces wrapped in furs;
Like faces passing on the street.
l see them in the falling rain,
Through all the years that lie between,
Like ghosts about the window-pane,
Among the musk and evergreen.
The boyhood's friends, the fair young wife,
Who watched with me so long ago,
As if across another life,
Among the softly falling snow.
While, grieving through the pine and palm,
The winds do chide uncounted hours,
Whose unspent summers fill the calm
With soft, sweet utterances of flowers.

FRIGHTENING CHILDREN

frightened The effect of the scare is
slow to recover from; it remains some
times until maturity, as is shown by
many instances of morbid sensitiveness
and excessive nervousness. Not fire.
quently fear is employed as a means of
discipline. Children are controlled by
being made to believe that something
terrible will happen to them, and are
punished by being shut upin dark rooms,
or by being put in places they stand in
dread of. No one, without vivid men,
ory Of his own childhood, can compre-
hend how entirely cruel such things are.
We have often heard grown persons tell
of the suffering they have endured, as
children, under like circumstances, and
count the irreparable injury which
they are sure they then received. No
parent. no nurse, capable of alarming the
young. is fitted for the position. Child
rem, as near as possible, should be
trained not to know the sense of fear,
which, above everything else, is to be
feared in their education both early and

THE INFLUENCE OF READING.

If | were to pray for a taste which
would stand me in stead under every
variety of circumstances, and be
source of happiness and cheerfulness
through life, and a shield against ills
however it might go amiss and the world
frown upon Inc, it would be a taste for
reading, l speak of it, of course, only
as worldly advantage, and not in the
slightest degree as superseding or dero-
eating from the higher Office and surer
and stronger panoply of religious prin-
ciple; but as taste, an instrument, and
as a sort of pleasurable qualification.
Give man this taste and the means of
gratifying it, and you can hardly fail of
making him a happy man, unless, in
deed, you put into his hands a most
perfect verse selection of books. You
place him ia contact with the best
society in every period of history

the tenderest, the bravest charac.
ters that have adorned humanity. You
make him a denizen of all nations-a
contemporary of all ages. The world
has been created for him. 1t is hardly
possible but the character should take a
higher and better tone from the constant
habit of associating in thought with
class of thinkers, to say the least of it,
above the average of humanity. 1t is
morally impossible but that the manners
should take tinge of good breeding and
civilization from having constantly
before ones eyes the way in which the
best bred and best Informed men have
talked and conducted themselves in
their intercourse with each other. There
is a gentle but perfectly irresistible coer-
cion in the habit OF reading, well di-
rected over the whole tenor of a mans
character and conduct, which is not less
effectual because it is really the last
thing he dreams Of

PETER BENNET'S CASE.

If Mr.. Stephens should be at home,
and his mind not be absorbed by public
affairs, the visitor will find in him the
best and most prolific anecdotist of the
day.
One story-alas that he can not sit In
the types to tell itl-is the Peter Bennett
speech. A DR.. Royston, doubtless a
most excellent man, had sued Mr.. Ben
net, a farmer, for his bill. Little
Aleck," as Alexander is minified by his
friends, told his client, Peter B., that
the case of service and its value were
proved against him in legal form, and
there was no real defense, But the old
farmer insisted that his lawyer should
''speak to the case" Mr.. Stevens told
him that he ought to speak himself if he
thought a speech could be made, and
was surprised by the retort, II a0ill, if
Bobby Toombs won't be too hard on
me-" Mr.. Toombs promised, and Peter
Bennett began:
Gentlemen of the jury, l amt no
lawyer and no doctor, and you amt,
nuther. And if we farmers don't stick
together, these here lawyers and doctors
will get the advantage of us, l amt no
objections to lawyers and doctors in
their place, and some is clever men, but
they amt farmers, gentlemen of the
jury. Now this DIR. Royston was a new
doctor, and l sent for him to come to
doctor my wife's sore leg. And he did,
and put some salve truck on it and some
rags, but never done it a bit of good,
gentlemen of the jury. l don't believe
he's no doctor, no way. There's doctors
as know is doctors, sure enough, but
this amt no doctor at all.
This was evidently telling, and DIR.
Royston put in with, "Look at my di-
plGma, and see if AIN not a Doctor"
''His diploma" said the new-fiedged
orator, with great contempt. That
amt nothin', for no piece of paper ever
made doctor yet"
"Ask my patients" shouted the now
furious physician.
This was the conventional straw that
seemed to break the back of the orators
patience. "Ask your patients.r' he said,
in slow and mournful deliberation.
"ASk your patients! WHY, THEY'RE ALL
DEAD" Then, in rapid defamation. he
named case after case, well known, but
mostly among the negro servants, of his
neighbors, where his opponent had
treated them and their owners buried
them, and continued: "4sk your pa
tients! Why, would have to seek them
in the lonesome churchyard, and rap on
the silent tomb to get answers from the
dead. You know they can't say nothin'
to this case, for you've killed them ALL"
The applause closed the speech, and the
defendant had his case.-HenTy w.
