the moralist who is fond OF holding up
the bee as bright and shining model
for thrift, sobriety and industry. The

The remedy prevents fully ten thous.

There is O volume OF practical

fifteen years has been to buy space
in a newspaper and fill it up with
what wanted. I would not give an
advertisement in newspaper Of 400
circulation for 5000 dodgers or post
ers," Advertising by cards, however
costly, and by circulars, however ele-
CANT, is simply advertising for the
waste basket as a rule. For one

And hath its food served upin earthen ware
1t is a thing to walk with, hand in hand
Through the every dayness of this work day

Barring its tender feet to every roughness
Yet letting not one heart beat 20 astray
From beauty's law of plainness and content;
A simple, treside thing, whose quiet smile
Can warm earth's poorest hove TO home;
Which, when our autumn cometh, as II
must,
And life in the chill wind shivers bare and
leafless.
Shall still be blest with Indian summer youth
In bleak November, and with thankful
heart,
Smile on its ample stores of garnered fruit,
AS full of sunshine to our aged eyes
As when it nursed the blossoms of our spring,

NUMBER A.
The annexation Of Canada nresents

The annexation of Canada presents
an entirely different set Of questions.
While the Canadian population has
many undesirable elements, not the
least OF which is the Roman Catho-
lie, it is more homogeneous with our
own, and the percentage of ignorant
voters, who are actually dangerous to
a republic, is certainly nolarger than
with us. Canada joins us. The col
lection of the duties on imports and
the exclusion of the undesirable ele-
ments of immigration, wonld be cas-
ier il we controlled the coast lines on
both oceans as far north as naviga-
ton extends. We are naturally one
people, and Canada could be admit
ted as States with no violence to our
institutions or danger to our govern
ment It by no means follows that
further acquisition of territory is des-
irable, but, should Canada wish to
come in, the question would doubt
less be favorably considered by our
people. Indeed, when the admission
of Cuba is talked Of, no one thinks Of
the people; it is question OF title
from Spain. When Canada is con-
sidered, it is question of the will OF
the Canadian people. This distinc-
ton shows the instructive estimate
we put on the two countries. The
people whom we do not take into ac-
count would become the prey of dem
agogues and an element of terrible
danger; those of the Canadian pro-
vinces would act very much as other
citizens OF the United States. s.-Her.
