Love for NeUSpaDerS.

The strong attachment of subscribers to q
.well-conGueted newspaper is fully confirmed
by all publishers SO long as q paper pur-
sues Just, honorable and judiciouS course,
meeting the wants of its customers in all re-
speets, the ties Of friendship between the sub
seribers and the papers are as hard to break
by an outside third party as the link which
binds old friends in business or social life.
Occasional defects and errors in ;. newspaper
are overlooked by those who have become at
feched to 1t through its peru>al for years.
They sometimes become dissatisfied with it
ON account of something which has slipped
into lis columns. and may stop taking 1t but
the absence of the familiar sheet at their
homes and offices for Il few weeks becomes an
unsupportable privaton, and they hasten to
take it again and possibly apologize tor hav-
ing stopped it. No friendship on earth.is more
constant than that contracted by the reader
for journal which makes an honest and
earnest effort to merit its continued support
Hence O conscientiously conducted paper be

when Remember Thee.

I weep when / remember thee,
My mother fond and true,
When fancy brings thy gentle face
Once more before my view.
I weep when l remember thee,
So patient and SO mild
So gentle with the stubborn will
OF thy wayward child.
Oh ! many a look of pctulence
That knit my youthful brow,
Many a thought, unheeded, then,
Comes back upon me now;
Comes back, aitho' long years have past,
Long busy anxious years,
Since we upon thee looked our last,
And wept our parting tears,
Oh, mother, when think on thec
And thy sweet quiet brow,
I know must have loved thee then,
But feel worship now.
/ weep when I remember thee,
Upon thy dying bed,
When death, with SLOW but steady aim
Advanced with noisleSs tread,
We saw thy fiX'd unconscious gaze,
We felt ourselves unknown,
Near thee, and yet how far removed;
With thee, yet so alone.
Oh! mother dear, 'twOuld be SIN,
TO wish thee back to me;
Yet oft think how should feel,
If such Il thing could be.
Oh il would seem so dear boon,
a bliss so near divine:
Naught but a. litc's idolatry
Could show Il love like mine.

Elements Of Success.

Young men cannot he told too often that
while a college education is desirable it is
not necessary to successin life. Some of the
greatest men the world has ever produced-
the greatest in all departments, in Statesman
ship, in literature, in science and in war-
were denied the advantages that result from
Il collegiate course. Some OF Them, indeed,
were denied all educational advantages.
There is this to he said The young man
whom college education would help to sue
cess would succeed without 1t. The elements
of success are in the man himself, and are
no part Of any educational course. In col
1ege or out of it the young man lrthSt educate
himself His future depends Sofely on his
own efforts. and the resources he must draw
upon are to be found only in his own charac-
ter. He is the architect Of his own career. no
matter what his advantages or disad vantages.

Financial Matters.

Besides the loan which will be
sufficient for the concession ofthe 1884,
oo8,ooo francs of floating debt the tax
on alcohol has been raised from 1853 to
2.I5 francs. This advance will increase
the revenue $4,000, 900 francs.
The Cabinet council has approved
the budget for 1887, and it will be sub
mitted to the Chamber on Tuesday.
The principal features are the extinction
of extra estimates, the consolidation of
the estimates for the Departments of
the Colonies and Public Works, the
conversion of short-date obligations into
8 per cent perpetual rentes and the
redemption of large portion of the
floating debt. A revision of the duties
on beverages is proposed. The retail
tax is abolished and the tax on alco-
holic liquors is increased The budget
does not provide for the conversion of
the 3 or ~ per cent rentes.
