How THEY DEMEAN THEMSELVES IN
THE CANADIAN PARLIAMENTARY U.
s. Congress gets a very liberal share of
eensure, now and then, when a breach of
decorum happens. But nothing to equal
the doings of our Canadian neighbors, has
ever transpired in the American House.
The Dominion House of Commons had a
session lasting from Friday afternoon until
six o'clock on Saturday evening, on resolu-
lion introduced by Sir John A. Mcdonald,
censuring the Lieutenant- Governor of Quebec
for dismissing his late ministers. The pro-
eeedings were very disorderly at times, the
members singing, dancing and making all
sorts of discordant noises 1t was finally
decided that vote should be taken without
further discussion. On Saturday afternoon,
Lady Dufferin occupied seat on the floor OF
the House for short time, and on leaving,
the hilarious members Whose conduct while
she was there is not reported) ''rose to their
feet and sang "God Save the Queen amid
thunders Of applause"

Nine-t enths of the democrats in Congress
do not desire that Mr. Hlden should either
be President or next candidate of their party
for that Office; and the republicans will be in
no hurry to stultify their unanimous action OF
last winter. This is mere bubble on the

''The question to be submitted to the peo.

The British company of New Testament
reyisers have completed the first revision,
and have sent i over 10 the American Com
miitee. The latter have revised all except
the Revelations and four of the smaller epis-
ties. and have sent over the larger part OF
their work. It is stated that there continues
to be n remarkable coincidence of Judgment
on the part Of the revisers on both sides of
the Atlantic as to the changes recommended.
The enterprise comprises seventy FIVE of the
best scholars Of England and America, and
it is said that the work laid out will be con
siderably greater than that expended upon
King James version. The grand rhytkm OF
the rich old English will everywhere be pre-
served, and only words changed that have
lost their original meaning, or do not conform
to the most authentic texts of ancient manu-
scripts. The expenses of the enterprise in
England are paid by the Oxfrd and Cam
bridge University presses; in this country By
private subscription. Ii is hoped that the
work will be finished within three years.

The Country IN Spring.

a ramble into the conAtry ON one Of
these bright balmy spring days, gives a
roseate glow to the cheeks, renewed vigor
to the frame, elasticity to the step, fresh
brlliiancy to the eye, and buoyancy and
vivacity to the spirits, brushing away the
MINIS aud cobWebs of care from the mind
while the thoughts soar abroad aud aloft
like an imprisoned bird set free. The
orchards are crowned with bloom, the
peach, the cherry, the pear, the apple tree,
robed in pink and white, ringing with the
hum of bees and the melody of birds, dis
porting among the branches. No sight in
nature is more lovely than a full-blown
orchard, when
Sweets from a myriad fowery springs
Load the soft South-winds gentle wings.
As from its roseate bowers It pours
Its fragrance through our open doors.
Nature has spread abroad her rich car
pet of emerald, sinking as we tread like
velvet meath our bounding feet, fecked
with daisies and violets and floral bells
which shed their perfume on the passing
air, sleeping our senses in their soothing
witchery and binding around us their en-
chanting spell.
Ye bright mosaics that with stored beauty.
The floor of NATURES temple tesselate,
What numerous emblems of instructive duty
Your forms create.
The field, the forest, the upland, the
lowland, "the orchard, the meadow, the
sweet tangled wildwood" the copse, the
spring, the rill, each presents its own pc
culiar charm, its own ravishing beauty to
the heart attuned to Nature. Let us drink
to the full from all her OVERLOOKING foun-
tains, forgetting not to look from Nature

TnE Tidal Hare is the name of new
temperance paper which has Just made its
appearance in Baltimore, Mr.. Apheus A.
Townsend, editor The publisher. Hr,
Henry Bolton, announces that he has the
necessary means to publish the paper, but
desires it to be sclfsustaining, and calls
upon the friends of the cause to make it
such. The aim OF the paper is the legal
prohibition Of the liquor traffic, and we
presume it is the purpose of the temper
auee men TO enter the political arena as
an organized party. This object, however,
IS 0ot definitely expressed in the Tidal
Ware.
