TELL NE I HATE THE BOWL (,

a young lady Of New York was in the hab
writing for the Philadelphia Ledger on the sub
lect of temperance. Her writings were so ful
of pathos, and evinced such deep emotion o.
soul that n friend accused her Of being n uania,
on the subject of temperance, whereupon yh,
wrote the following lines:
Go feel what have felt,
Go bear what have borne;
Sink meath the blow father dealt,
And the cold worlds proud scOrn;
Then suffer from year u year
Thy sole relief the scorching tear.
Go kneel as have knelt,
!mpl0re, beseech and pray;
Strive the bosottci heart to melt
The downward course to stay,
BE dashed with bitter curse aside,
Your prayers burlesqued, your tears de6el,
&c weep as have wept.
Ger n loved fathers fall;
SEQ every promise! blessing swept,
Youths sweetness turned to gall
Life's fading flowers strewing all tho way,
That brought me up to woman's day.
Go see what have seen,
Behold the strong man owed
With gnashing teeth, lips bathed in blood
And cold and livd brow;
Go catch his witherel glance and see,
There mirrored, his soul ) misery.

Just as the thrifty, industrious farmers
and stockralsers in New Westminster dis
trict had recovered from the disastrous
effects of the 1876 floods. and when
much larger area OF land was under
crop, with the certainty of commanding
good cash prices, down came might
torrent from the mountains, overtlowing
the river banks, backing up all the
streams and sloughs, and covering the
grain and hay fields with water. On the
Sumas prairie alone there are 10000 acres
of arabic land overfowed. The water is
about three inches higher than it was six
years ago, and the rise was 80 rapid and
unexpected Gas extreme high water has
not come in any year since the settlement

that it was with great difficulty stock
could be removed. Many animals are
now suffering severely and standing in
from foot to three feet of water. The
difficulty of getting them to the high
grounds and mountains is very great, to
say nothing of the danger of wading
over the prairie, swimming the hollows
and sloughs, and mad streams before dry
ground can be reached. Several losses
have occurred already. Mr.. Keith had
nine head drowned, and several other
farmers lost three or four each. A num-
ber of families were obliged to leave
their comfortable homes, and fly to the
mountains for shelter. Others have gone
to their neighbors. whose holdings are
not so much under water as their own.
With but one exception every house on
the Sumss prairie is surrounded by water,
the depth varying from six inches to
three or four feet. Fences, outhouses,
farming implements. cord wood, furniture
and trees were carried off and foated
promiscuously with the current. A large
number Of the settlers will lose from $500
to $4,000 each. Many are entirely ruined,
and to save their families from actual
want will be obliged to abandon their
farms and go to work as day laberers on

The spring fashions are to be taken cum
grano sails. For some years past ladies'
fashions have been neither simple nor
graceful. But the quest for novelty, and
the milliners interest in furnishing sim
pie people. with more money than taste,
An opportunity to get rid of their money
under the fashions delusions, these create
a regular market for Butterick's monthly
varieties and the like. Shapeless enormi-
ties In hats, bundle of useless folds
across the front, about the middle, before
and behind, great sprawling points with
out purpose or beauty, ruflng and shir-
ring in all sorts of places ad libitum, sop
posed to he fine because they are costly;
square and angular lines in violence to
each other; and all these combined with
trails, ties and fasteniugs to impede loco
motion. Yet we would not criticise the
fashion business; the fashions are sacred
to the feminine soul; it is only to those de-
vices which are invented to enable shoddy
and ugliness to compete successfully with
modest simplicity and beau'y that We re-
ter, and with such the season seems to be
literally supplied.

A Rig Land scheme.

Agigantic land and colonization scheme
was completed in Chicago, May 81. The
Duke of Manchester and President Ste
phen of the Canada Pacific railroad came
from the West and met R. B. Angus, Vice
President of the Canada Pacific and Mr.,
Scarth, of Cochrane, Scarth & Co., OF
Toronto. Besides these, the parties in
interest include Robert Tennant, of Leeds,
England, and Mr.. Todd, of the firm of
w. F. Kennedy s. Co., of New York, rep
resentatives of the Scotch and Canada
Pacific syndicates, in fact practically all
the large land syndicates, besides capital>
lists in Paris, London, Montreal, New
York and other points are interested in
the scheme. The plan as outlined with
the Duke of Manchester as President, is
as follows: The syndicate represents a
capital of $15,OOO,OOO. 1t proposes to
buy $9,OOO,OO0 of unsold bonds of the
Canada Pacific road, now held by the
bank of Montreal, and take the second
issue of $6,OOO,O0o of bonds of the road
not yet in the market, paying par for
them. In turn. the Canada Pacific
agrees to accept these bonds in payment
for lands granted to it by the Canadian
government, which are to be taken chief
ly in the Saskatchewan country at the
rate of 81 10 an acre. The grant to the
Canada Pacific was $4,000, 900 acres, of
which 100000 acres remain unsold.
The combination proposes to take II ,OOO,-
900 ocres on the terms mentioned. Con-
nected with it is an immense colonization
scheme, including, among other things,
the erection of farmhouses for settlers un-
able to build and the selling Of them on
easy terms. 1t is stated that one OF the
effects of the scheme will he to insure the
early completion of the Canada Pacific
Railroad.
