There's a whisper of life in the gray dead trees, And a murmuring wash on the shore, And a breath of the south in the loitering breeze, To tell that a winter is o'er. | While, free at last from its fetters of ice, The river is anditblue, And cries wi ' : a tremulous, quiver ing voice For the launch of the White Canoe. Oh, gently the ripples will kiss her side, And tenderly bear her on; For she is the wandering phantom bride Of the river she rests upon; ; She is loved with a love than cannot argés, A passion so strong and true That never a billow has risen yet To peril the White Canoe. So come whem th: moon is enthroned in the sky, And the echoes are sweet and low, And Nature is full of the mystery That none but her children know. Come, taste of the rest that the weary crave, But is only revealed to a few: hen there's trouble on shore, there's peace on wave, Afloat in the White Canoe. ON THE OTTAWA. By Edward Hartley Dewart.

A queer inconsistency in the natar al:zation laws of Britain and her Dom- iniohs was again discussed at the re- cent Imperial Conference in London. A loreigner who comes to Canada call him a» British subject. In other colonies and dominion there are vary- ing rules as to length of residence re- quired, none of them running up to five years. But in Great Britain a foreigner must live five years in the country before he can be naturalized. Bir Wilfrid Lavrier and other colon: ial Premiers pointed out the injustice of this inconsistency. "A British sub- avyhare ought he a British su Hy boa urge ir Wil- . Rs, Hon. Winston Churchill agreed that a person having been nat eralized in any t of and having, in ition, resided there in for five years should be deemed a British in the Imperial sense, and this will probably be made law. This will relieve the situation consid- sably, but Briain will stick to ber ve-year : iod. In dealing with shite question in a recent issue of The Busy Man's Maga zine, Mr. Roden Kingsmill says: 3 "No one of the thousands of Ameri. cans who have taken the Canadian paturalization oath is a British sub- ject. Nor are the Germans, the Ice- landers, the Galicians, or any other alien -newcomers--io--- Canadian soil. They think they are as fully British subjects as the native-born Canadian or lishman. They are not. All that Can- ada has given them is the right to ote in Canada, to serve on juries, or int the voluntéers; to sit in the Cana dian Parliament or the Psovinecial Legislatures, and to enter those pro- fessions which no outlander can join. "Canada has not enfranchised hee aliens under false Neither are the British inisters of - the Crown greatly 'to blame. When the uestion of Empire-wide naturalization et came up at the Colodial Con- Jerence, Mr, Joseph Chamberlain pro- Juised to do his best to secure a eiange in the Imperial regulations Buf illness brought about the great Commoner's retirement. AlMred Lyt- tieton, his successor, evinced slight in. terest in the question. Then, four years ago, the Campbell-Bannerman Government came in, and at the Im- 'periak Conference of 1908, the Cana. dian Prime Minister brought the ques. tion up Again Herbert Gladstofie, the Home Secretary, promised to give the matter his attention. . But a general eléction 'began to loom on the political boxigon, and minor matters were dis- ef antied. iven a man. like Bir Thomas Shaughnessy, a naturalized Canadian citizen, has no rights gs a Brigish subject outside the Dominion, as iqatters stand. . An interesting point, however, in this ion has been brought up by Mr..J. {astell Hopkins. Mr. Hop- kins was born in the United States during a brief residence 'there of his arerts, who-came from England. But I ways a British subject, and neither nor Nis brother had to be come naturvlized when they came to anada. If his father had exercised e rights of American citizenship, or if he himself had reached his majority in the United States and had done the same, the case would have been dif fereni\ Canada's Birthplace. Perhaps when his Worship the Mayor of Toronto was selecting a hostelry in London for his coronation visit, he was governed by historical association, At all events, the West minster Place Hotel, where he is staving, was birthplace of the Dominion of Cenada. From its prox- imity to the Houses of Parliament, that hotel has baen the scene of a pumber of notable political gather. ings. but nothing more historic has taken place within its walls than the series of conferences forty-five years ago which culminated in the Act of Union, under which the scattered British North American colonies welded themselves into ¥ Jowertal and progressive Dominion. memor- ial Jablet was the. other day placed fo the room where the delegates met, deNberated, and created the first British federation beyond the seas.-- Star Weekly.

The Accommodation," built by Malson in 1809, was the first Montreal and steam vessel passage was al an Blane, Quebee, by George Black and J. 8. Campbell for the Quebec and Halifax service of a com- pany. She was built of wood on a clean lined semi-clipper model, 178 feet overall, keel 148 feet, breadth of beam inside 20 feet 4 inches, breadth outside paddieboxes 43 feet 10 inches, depth of hold 17 feet 9 inches. Her me nt ton. nage was 830 fons. April 20th, 1831, she was launched and christen: ed sfter the King, by the wife of the then Governor-General, Lord Aylmer. She was towed to Mo ~ where her engines were installed, and in the fall of the year made one or two trips to Halifax. > Although she had auxil- ary sails. to assist her engines -in favoring winds, the "Royal William" was propelled by steam alone. When in Halifax ihe came under the attention of vel Cunard, founder of the Cun: Line, and he became very much interested in her, and ultimately "beeame a directorin the company which owned the ves. sel. It is said that it was through his connection with this little steamer that the wighty fleet which bears his name was formed. J In 1832, trade being very poor in Canada, it was thought advisable to. send the "Royal William" across the Atlantic' to be sold, and on August 4th, 1833, she left Québec for Lon- don, under the command of Captain McDougall: After coaling at Pictou, N.8., she arrived at Gravesend on September 11th; coaling again at Cowes in the Isle of Wight on her way. Her passage time between port and port was 26 days, during which she steamed all the way. Canada and adi in the past have shown their genius and sbhility in ' shipbuilding affairs, and, now, with the establishment of shipbuild- ing plants in the country, it remains seen whether the Dominion will regain, in some manner, an al. most forgotten supremacy.--Canadian Century. Many Montreals. The other cities of Canada are cast ing green eyes of jealousy upon Mont- real, beneficiary of the mysterious Meurling béquest. The metropolis itself is not overloud in its exultation. It may be only a mare's nest. There are more Montreals than the one we are accustomed to look to. And in this reflection it finds a Job's com- forter, "Le Courrier de I'Ouest," bear- ing monition to the following effect: "Some time ago our Mont eon- temporaries announced that a ch philanthropist rejoicing in the name of Meurli had di at Nice, be. queathing" $150,000 to their city. were very much affected by thi Sols erosity on the part of an absolute stranger. They are recovering, or at least their emotion is changing into one of another kind. There is Mont- real--and Montreal, ' The largess of the late philanthropist was not di. reeted towards the Canadian Hub, but towards Montreal, a little town in the District of OCarcassone, in the Department de I'Aude, Frange--un- less indeed Montreal, principal town of Gers, happens to be meant.
