Fourteen Ministers will doubtless appear to many a somewhat cum- brous crowd and it may be expected that the number will be curtailed ere long ; but it will take all hands a considerable time to bring order out of theconfusion which the Mackenzie Government left behind. The new Government have a herculian task before them but they are good for it and the people expect it at their hands. The late decisive vote of the clectors had less reference to a change of mon than a change of tactics, their vote demanded a change of front ; the general weal of the country in place of the interosts of a clique, efficient government in place of fly on-the wheel imbecility, wise legislation in place of sinster blundering, and rigid economy in place of wasteful extravagance.-- These are some of the changes which the decisive vote at the late elections plainly indicated and nothing less will bo accepted. We have faith in the electorate that what they have once done they will do again, that they will rise in their might and stamp out any man or set of men who in fatare will go back on their pro- mises, place the interests of them- selves and friends before those of the country or fail to exercise the necessary economy in managing the affairs of the country. Neither per- sonal popularity nor party leanings will again prolong the existence of a government which either from in- capacity or dosign fail to role in the best interests of the country.

This act of retributive justice went further to establish the independence and intelligence of the electorate of this fair Doniinion than any other act they ever did, it goes far thoroughly understand the value of the franchise, know howto use it and are worthy of it. reason to feel proud of those brave men (for it is an act worthy of praise) men who broke the shackles of party, preferred the interests of country to pandering to the greed and incapacity of the Mackenzie Government and voted against them and thus secured their overthrow.-- We have not a word of complaint to utter against those who really believ- ed that tho Mackenzie rule was all right and voted honestly to sustain it; hundreds, nay thousands were deteived with the hypocritical cant and fair promises of the party lead- ors sustain them; but the mercenary crew of place hunters, subsidized trumpeters and pap consumers are the bane and disgrace of any party and the greatest enemy to the well being of any people. to this quashed the whole matter.-- The more ardent Grits are just now beginning to feel their sores, espec- ially their sore heads and they are making a fearful howl over their disappointment. The interest of the society and the welbeing of the community are nothing to your su per-Gritin comparison to the success of their little tricks for party sake. A Big Swindle. ¢| The official report of the lately bankrupt city of Glasgow Bank shows a wretched state of things, s | the los: es will bu even more than the darkest surmises indicated; the actual loss will be nearly {wenty-six million dollars; this with five million dollars of unpaid capital will all have to be made good by theshareholders, say, $31,000,000, is a handsome sum to be made up and it must be made up at least to the last cent that any or all of the share holders are worth; the liability is not limited, the gharcholders are jointly and severally hable for the whole. The share- holders have been swindled in the most shameless manner. The Bank- ing Act provides that a weekly statement of the amount of bullion in the bank shall be made to the Government, the statements were made from week to week and appear- ed all mght but these statements were as false as could be they were cooked as mach as $4,000,000 being added to tho weekly statement to make it come out right.-- The Director's returns were also made to deceive the share-holders by making them believe that tho bank had nearly $5,000,000 more security than they had and $1.000,000 more bullion than thre was in the vaults. The effet of this fraud was that the Government, the shareholders and 'that these politi previons day.

A report of it, were it even verbatim et literatim, would A be a rather tame aflair compared to hearing it from the lips of the eloquent lecturer.-- The subject was well handled and maby good things said which all present were the better for hearing common place it may be, but by no means the less useful on that account, The tendency of the lecture was to benefit all who heard it, and the pity is thatall did not hear it. The speaker made no rhetorical display and attempted nothing in way of oratory, yét the lecture was forci ble, interesting and not uninstructive, as evinced by the marked a'tention of the audi ence. and repeated manifestations of applause, A vote of thanks to the speaker, follnwed by the singing of the Doxology, brought the proceedings to a close, The anniversary services thronghout must, in justice, be pronounced a success, + It may be that the financial department did not come quite up to expectation, but on all other partipniase the occasion was a succes® hout, and if ly it may not have come Quite up to expectation, there was little cause for complaint, even on that score. -- as wel} in as é cards, worst form, in which the Protonites, Over-coaters and Grit Government hacks played their most desperate If only one-half is true that ixurged against him, Mr. Wheler,his seat is not-worth an hour's purchuse, and he will neither be candidate nor lector for the next eight years.

The word of God represents human life as very. uncertain, Here man is compar- ed Bot to'a great oak but to the morning mist or the tender flower which lasts but for a little time, « For what is your life? It is even a vapour that appearcth for a little time and then vanisheth away." -- « Man that is born of a woman is of few few days and full of trouble, He cometh forth like a flower and is cut down; he flecth also as a shadow and continneth not." But not only does the word of God but also the events of Providence remind us of the truth 'that here we have no fixed abode.' When the aged are cut down by the stroke of death we are led to think that the front rank has fallen before the enemy and roon wi'l it be our turn to fall before his fell power, But how much more is this very solemn thought impressed upon us when from our mnmdst, in the prime and vigor «f life, friends and neighbors are suddenly re- moved from us by death, We should all feel that the hand of death is very near and that it soon will be our turn to bid fmewell to all that we cherish herv, And, further, also, the brevity of human life reminds us that here we heve no con. tinuing city.

Magnificent Residence for Sal clay loam, The Faltplowing is: dene, and fey were not prepared to witness the excruciating agony manifested from day to day by this once blustering, but now disconsolate organ. The Mackenzie Cabinet did not trouble him in the least. He could make it and unmake it at pleasure. Which of them be would he kept alive, and whom he would he slew politically ; but Sir John's Cabinet tortures him. So far from having any influence with the new Cabinet, or interfering in their affairs, he dare not even touch the hem of one of. their gar- ments, and the terrible fall has driven him desperate, and being kept in utter darkness; be is fairly agonizing to get oné ray ot light.-- He cannot understand why the uew Cabinet has not been formed ere now and their names published. It would be amusing were the agony a little less severe, to witness the struggle for political existence of the lately blustering Dictator. But he is only misdireciing the little encrgy that is left. He needs not trouble himself in the least. The Cubinet will be formed and "their policy matured and promulgated en- tirely in the interests of the country without the slightest referanes to the scolding and threatening of Mr. Brown and just as if" were no Globe in existence, agd. while the constant aim of the new Govern- ment shall be the best interests of all alike, irrespective of party, it is fondly to be hoped. that the Globe will confine its interference to its legitimate field, the cold, cold cheer- less shades of opposition.

We should be regardful of our present well-being, but not so as to neglect our eternal interests. With many it is all for the present life, They are anxious to make fortunes, but regardiess as to their eternal wellbeing, They labor for many years to secure wealth, but are unwilling to make the least effort to lay up in heaven, Be thankful tor the world's goods, but remember we will not need them very long. Be thankful for friends, but remem- ber the time of separation will soon come, These words should also lead us fo conse. crate the whole life to Christ. Since we have only a short time in this life, we cannot afford to waste it in the service of Satan, If we desire to make life useful and honor. _( ing to the name of Christ, we should spend it all in His rervice. There are very many spending their best duys in sin. The young are apt to think there is time enough to serve Christ after spending a few years in the vanities of the world, But there are wany who if they do not serve Christ when they are young will never have the privilege of serving him. Further, we should seck eternal life, How important that we have an interest in Christ as our Saviour? When united to Christ we have eternal life, and shall never perish. -- But this we cannot bave while we reject the offers of Divine mercy. "But further,if here we have no fixed abode, no abiding city, we should live prepared for death, A dying hour is a poor time to make. preparation for death. "Now is the accepted time ; behold now is the day of silvation." We should not trespass upon the future, for God only knows what the future may bring to pass. But these words are full of comfort to the christian, 1f here we have no abiding place, we should bear up under lifes trials.

The praning knife may be pretty freely used in the| department of the Civil Service, and _ the system of superannuations and pensions should at once be put a stop to. These Civil Service men are paid from one to three thousand dol- lars a year, and it they cannot lay past as much during the period of their service as will maintain them when they become untit for duty, how can plodding and toiling men, with ten timee the tear and wear on their clothes, and bodies, and not getting one-half the pay, lay past money to maintain them when they are no longer able to toil? No superannuation for them, if they have not funds they may beg, and where is the justice of making such or any one else, in 'fact, help to pay ruperannuate allowanees for men who ought to maintain themselves.

For a more tasty residence no one could well desire ; there are two lots connected with it ; the size of the main building is 21x32 feet, with a tower 2 feet 4 inches by 10 feet -- The attached building contains dining room, bedroom, pantiy and kitchen, The rooms are most complete and all of nice size; the ceilings in both stories are high which is very desirable. There are ten rooms be- sides the pantry and a most complete wash room above the woodshed ; a sink caries off water to a most complete drain, The wood- shed is 14x17 feet; there is a cistern of the very best kind with good pump. A No. 1 Y Well stoned most: complete with a good pump init. 'The cellar is large and divided by a solid brick partition, two-thirds of which is one roum ; there are two windows in the cellar hung on hinges and screened in the most complete manner, Access to the cellar from the kitchen or woodshed. No pains or expense has been spared but all has been done that reasonably could be done to make it warm in winter and cool in sum- mer. All the labor was done, by the day, by the best of workmen except such as is usually done at a factory. The other build- ings are good--the stable is about 25x30, The fiuit trees are crab, zroening, hath, talman, astrican, snow and ear apple trees, common red and a arreey trees, egg plum trees, about 120 currant bushes. The trees aro as good as nur- series can furnish, some of the apple trees are bearing, and no better fruit conld be desired. Queen street is so situsted as do make it one of the healthiest and most pleasant streets in town. There are erected on this strect threw churches, town hall, public and Ligh school Lyildings, also as complete and handsome dwelling houses us one could wish, and make it all that could be desired for ' comfort and pleasure, The t end of the street runs lo the water's of Lake Scugog, and the W,, P.

To the Editor of the OpsErvER. Sm--If my neighbor across the way, a jealous rival, had studied the above and act- ed dingly thinks he would have saved himifelf considerable trouble and not a little hard cash, but he chose to do otherwise, therefore, he must abide the conseqnence.-- When a man will descend to assist a worth- less creature to vent his spleen in a malici' ous prosecution because be got fined for violating the law of the land he must ex- pect to pay dearly for it. Having had to pay smartly for past acts he with his. part. ner who signed the notorious bond will be held responsible for all future cost. The trio have had their way of it in their mal. icious moves and actions but a day of retri- bution will come on all evil doers, It is now my time to act to vindictae myse!f and defend the public which I shall do so sovn as Ilget my papers ready, Surely those men have enough to do to attend to their pwn atfairs, keep their own door yard clean and let other people alone ; but if they will persist in their nefarious work, and dig pits to let their neighbors in, and they should fall in themselves, they are alone to blame. Like Haman, who erected a gallows to hang Mordecal, sod got hung himself; so in like madner will those men who have tried their best to injutd mo in. business and otherwise, and that 'Without any just causs. I try to mind my, own business by letting others alone, which I think is the best way to success, If a business man can't stand on this principle, the sooner he leaves town the better for himself and thse around him.-- Hoping this timely advice will be taken in the same spirit and manner in whigh it is given, thereby prompting them to do right, and not injure their neighbor, but in future live in peace with all men. : 1 am, Yours Respectfully, JOHN NOTT.
