And scalding tears obscured from sight
The beautiful cushioned room within.

Could we but know what Christs own hand
Traced on the sand
Beside the sea- No doubt he wrote
For such as her sweet words of hope.

But net for such as her-'tis we'll

In the first plush OF womanhood

COMING CHANGE In CANADA

1t has been predicted that when the Cana
dian provinces become disrupted the troubl
would begin at Manitoba. The reason is tina
the people in that new settlement are of
very mixed character; they do not share il
the prepossessions and prejudices of tn
older settlements. Their thoughts are TO
their own prosperity, and no sentiments o
past nationality make the British connection
matter Of consideration to them. Thei
ways of looking at things are therefore diff
ferent to those of the Dominion generally
They detest the new tariff imposed by tina
smart" politician, little Sir John Macdon
aid; it makes dear their groceries, theil
| agricultural implements, and all the manu-
featured articles they buy, but it does moi
raise the price of their own produce; it only
sacrifices themselves to the monopolists
The same little Sir John has led to the
Pacific railway being granted the privilege
that no other company should run any rail.
road south OF their line. This gives the
Canadian Pacific monopoly for the St.
Paul and Manitoba road, and ''the lemons
go in and get squeezed" accordingly. Mani
improbable that serious results may come,
ia time from this Manitoba discomfort.
The people who are settling in that
grand wheat-producing country are hardy,
independent race. They lie six hundred
miles away from Ontario, and the English
feeling that prevails there impresses them
much less than the American ideas of their
neighbors IN Dakota and Minnesota
Loyalty to sovereign far away ever the
sea will not become a strong sentiment with
them, while the liberal principles and go
ahead ways of their American neighbors
are in close accordance with their own occu-
pations, modes of life and surroundings.
Even in the older settlements the repub-
icanism of the States is every year exerting
a stronger Influence. Every year thousands
of their residents emigrate to the States,
an the tidings they send back to their old
neighbors helps to turn attention in this di-
rection. The people know that if they en-
tered the Union, as an integral part of our
country they would participate in the ad-
vantages of our hourishing trade and general
prosperity, and there is a growing feeling in
favor of annexation. 1t may be they will
prefer independence, but projects in that di-
rection are thwsrted by the want of means
to support a respectable government and to
provide for self-defense. Certainly their
thoughts do not turn toward monarchy, for
although they rather like Lord Lorne. whom
Disraeli sent them, they show no disposition
to carry out that statesman's desire that they
should make him and his wife-who is not
liked-king and queen of the Dominion Of
Canada. AS things stand an ultimate desire
for annexation appears not improbable, but
it is impossible at present to judge what turn
events may take. One thing is certain, the
Canadians are becoming tired of being mere
colonists.

Mr.. Dana's Estimate of mr.. Davis.
Narv Cir

Every newspaper from one end of the
country to the other is saying something
about Jefferson Davis. A distinguished Con-
federate general Joe Johnston, has charged
him with running off with s., 100000 in
specie belonging to the late Confederacy, and,
while he has said nothing himself, Mr.. Da-
vis's friends have been quick TO come for
ward in his defense. There is no probable
ity that, during his unfortunate administra-
ton of Confederate affairs, Mr.. Davis was
ever guilty of the slightest act of pecuniary
dishonesty. He is a man of much refine
ment of nature and great directness of char
acter, and there is no doubt that, while he
was an enemy to the Union, he conscien-
tiously devoted the whole OF his remarkable,
though not always judicious, abilities to the
cause he had chosen to stand BY.
