CANADIAN INDEPENDENCE.
French Canadians Interested i'm the Presi-
Dental Election.

MONTREAL, July ga movement is at

leaders of the French Canadian party who are
working for the independence of Canada, to
secure for Mr.. Blaine, the Republican presi-
dental candidate, the large vote controlled by
the French Canadians in the United States.
The reason of this movement, as stated by one
of those at the head of it, is that Mr.. Blaine
has declared himself favorable to the indepen-
dence of Canada and commercial union of
the whole of North America. This, continued
the gentleman in question, is the same policy
as that pursued by Mr.. Garfield during his
campaign, and to which he was indebted for
the solid French Canadian vote. At that time
I was in correspondence with Mr.. Garfield,
and still have his letters, in which he said that
he was in favor of grand commercial union
to embrace Canada and Mexico, and Mr.
Blaine IS his Secretary of State, also favored
this Mr.. Blaine, since his acceptance OF the
Republican candidature, has reiterated his
views on the subject, and his friends have
been in communication with leading French
Canadians, in order to secure him the vote of
their compatriots, who are residents of the
United States, estimated at from 900 to
100000 The campaign will Immediately be
inaugurated IN the large manufacturing CEN
tres of the New England States, to which
French Canadians will be despatched from

She fingered at the thrice barred gate IN tears
And to the guardian of that Eden fair.

That drives me from this fairest paradise,
And bids me wear lifes rue. and not its rose
Give me one flower to lay upon my heart
Before l wander through far lands less fair,

She ceased. but still flowed fast her silent
At memory Of the waywardness of fate.

She spake: 20 angel. but rose-one roar
Within the angels breast compassion rose
AT sight of her sad face AMI falling tears,
The while her beauty touched his tender heart,
And knowing well the misery OF her fate,
He gave the flower, n rose of paradise.
Because she was so very young and fair.
And since that time there may be flowers as
fair.
But they must all yield fcalty TO the rose.
The red, red rose that bloOmed in paradise,
That Eve in exile watered with her tears,
The only blossom in her cherries fate
The one flower in the desert of her heart.
And into every mortal's life and heart
There comes some time, in cloudy days or fair
1t matters not, TO bless and light his fate
For one short space, the perfume of the rose,
And though the after years may bring but

That moments pleasure is of paradise.
