The identity of the writer was shortly aittrwards avowed. Two years later the amber published a series of letters, in wlich Archdeacon Straohan’s famous chart of the various religious bodies in Upper Canada we: keenly criticized. In 1329 the Christian Guardian was founded at York in the interests of the Metlndist body, and Mr. Ryerson was imtalled as joint editor with Rev. F. Metalfe. The editor- ials were from the outset noticeable for their force and trenolant phraseology. This journal persistently advocated many useful political reforms, ind contributed its full share to the disousaon of the Clergy Reserve question. In .833 Mr. Ryerson was a pointed a delegah to England. and atten ed the British Conference of the Wesleyan Methodist Church there with a view to the projected union with that Con- ference of t a Methodist Episcopal body in Canada, which he was la-ge y instrumental in momplishing. In 1135 he again visited the Mother Country, vith the object of obtaining a charter for the Upper Canada Academy as a seat of Methodist education, and also with a view of procuring subscrip- tions in aid of the project from the English Wesle ans. Is was successful in accomplish ng boh these objects, and the academy. which ultimately developed into VictoriaCollege, was estab~ lished in Cobourg. Du'ing Mr. Ryerson's stay in London he ccn'ributed a series of letters on Canadian affairs to the Times, in order to counteract thenflnenceof William Lyon Mackenzie, who backed by Hume and Roebuck in Enghnd. had created a good deal of (echo h favor of political reform in Canada.

He Wis subsequently stationed as a missionary among the Indians at the Credit. and me other minis- terial appointments he held are too numer~ one to be particularized here. It is estimated that during his long and active ministerial career he preamed at least ten thousand sermons. ‘ and even when his daily employments were most exacting could always find time to acquire useful knowledge. He attended the District Grammar School as opportunity offered. When 18 years of age he united in membership with the Methodist Church, having for some time previous been in sympathy with its views and doctrines. His father, however. was deeply opposed to this step. and gave Egerton the choice -of leaving the Church or quitting his house. Needless to say. he chose the latter alternative.’ Thus thrown upon the world he obtained a situation as assistant teacher in the London District Grammar School, where he taught success- fully for two years, when at his father's request he returned home and again devoted himself to farming pursuits. He continued his studies with the object «‘ entering the ministry, and when 22 yea i of age was received as a minister of the Methodist Church and was assigned to the Niagara Circuit. For many years his life was one of constant strenuous tell and effort. He was frequently com- pelled to compose his sermons while riding on horseback from one part of his circuit AN HONORED CANADIAN. (Globe, February now.) By the death of Rev. lsgerton Ryerson, D. D., is severed one of the few remaining links uniting the present with the early days 01 Canadian settlement. Dr. Ryerson has had a long, a busy. and a memorable career, and there is so much of interest and historic association in the annals of his lamily that even had his own part in gublic atlairs been much less prominent is passing away would have been a note- worthy event. The late Dr. Ryerson was upwards of 78 years of age. having been born in the Township of Charlotteville. County of Norfolk, on the 24th of March, 1803. His lather. Colonel Joseph Ryerson, a native of New Jersey, distinguished himself for his bravery during the revolutionary war, hav- ing entered the ranks of the loyalists when a mere lad of 15 and taken part in many battles and skirmishe When hos- tilities came to an end he an his brother Samuel, another distinguished loyalist, settled in New Brunswick, where Colonel Ryerson married Miss Mehetabel Stickney, said to have been the first child of English stock born in the colony. In 1794 Samuel removed to Up r Canada and settled near Long Point, an five years afterwards he wasjollowed by Col. Joseph Ryerson and his family, who endured great hardships during the journey, as well as during the earlier years of their pioneer life in this Province. Col. Ryerson became the father of six sons, five of whom became ministers of the Gospel. The three elder sons all took an active part in repelling the American invaders in the war of 1812. doing good service at Detroit, Fort Erie Beaver Dams, Lundy’s Lane and elsrf where. At this time the subject of this notice was only 10 years of age, and was fully imbued with the patriotic ardor a: his elder brothers, being filled with regret that his tender years did not permit hilt-f to share their expnriences. Young Egerton, as well as his brothers, was bred to farm- ing pursuits, and expected to do a man’s work long before he was a man in years.

Dr. Ryerson, at his own request, was relieved from the arduous duties of Chief Superintendent of Educa- tion, the office was abolished and its func- tions vested in the Minister of Education. Dr. Byerson retired on full salar after thirty-two years' incessant service. file has since lived in retirement. finding ooou a~ tion in the reparation of his “ is- tory of the nited Empire Loyalists,” a voluminous work which throws a good‘ deal of ii ht upon the early history of; Canada. r. Ryerson preserved to a late period in life a wonderful degree of mental activity and ghysioal vitality. and to the last preserve a keen interest in public affairs. His death will be deeply regretted by many outside of any sectarian limits. Dz. Byerson was twice married. first in 1828 to Miss Aikman. daughter of the late John Aikman, of Barton Township. who died four years aiterwards, and in 1833 to vvvvvv “VOIUU Ul- 1411.11. v " " J In 1874 Dr. Ryerson was elected Pre- sident of the first General Conference of the Methodist Church, held in this city. ‘ He held this office for four years, when he was succeeded by Rev. Dr. Douglas, {1 Montreal. Dr. Ryerson was elected for tga third time to represent the Canadian Con- ference in Great Britain in 1876. He was received by .the British Conference with. every possible mark of res ect and aflection, reference being made to is appearance in the same capacity fortyothree years pre- vicuslyt u. During Sir CharlesMetoalfe’s administra- ie tion of affairs in Canada Dr. Ryersor d warmly espoused his part in his contest ,3 with the Reform party. The question at I6 issue was the right of the Governor to is make appointments irrespective of tr. ,1. advice of his Ministry, and in addition to .3 numerous letters and articles in the news- “ paper press, Dr. Ryerscn wrote and pub- is lished an elaborate “Defence” of Sir 2. Charles, which was published separately in , pamphlet form. in which all that could be urged in favor of the untenable position of s the Governor was strongly presented. In 3 1844 Dr. Ryerson received the appointment I of Superintendent of Public Schools for t Upper Canada. He accepted this post and at .~ once devoted himself to the task of re- .- Province, making an extensive tour in the s United States, England and continentai L Europe to familiarize himself with the most modern educational systems. The E; results of his tour were embodied in an 8 elaborate report published in 1846. His 1 ideas. though strongly opposed by some, 5 commended themselves to a majority of f the members of the Legislature, and a 3 School Act drafted by him became law. It 3 remainedin force about three years, when a a new Education Act, making many radical changes in his system, was passed under ; the Baldwin-Lafontaine Ministry. Owin: , :0 the representations of Dr. Ryerson, , however, the Governor~General sus- l pended its operation, and Mr. Baldwin , and Dr. Ryerson prepared an Act retaining 3 many of the characteristics of the Act of _ 1846. and adding new features necessitated | by the progress of the country. This new ‘ measure was sanctioned in 1850. and , forms the basis of our present educational system. . Despite his activity in otherdepartments. Dr. Byerscn's life-work by which he will principally be remembered was essentially educational. From the time of his appoint- ment until 1876, a period of thirty-two years, he continued to administer the school afi'airs of this Province with zeal, energy modelling the educational system of the, and efficiency. He has left an abiding ; mark upon our scholastic system, and his work won high encomiums from public men and those interested in educational matters abroad. In 1853, chiefly in conse- quence of Dr. Byerson's strong representa- tions, the Legislature caused the Grammar School Law to be thoroughly revised, further improvements made in 1865 being also traceable to his influence. In 1855, with the aid of Col. Lefroy, he established several meteorologi- cal stations in connection with the County Grammar Schools, the numbr- of which was afterwards increased. In 1357 the doctor again set out for a comprehen- sive educational tour in Europe, visiting the principal seats of art, where he pro- cured on behalf of his department a series of copies of paintings by the old masters in Dutch, Flemish and Italian art. These were placed in the Educational Museum in this city. On his return he began advocat- ing a system of Government grants to out- lying Universities, and drafted the Educa- tion Bill of 1860, which effected some improvements in our school system.

The rebellion broke out in 1837. a low months after Mr. liyerson's return. Though. as has been shown, he had no sympathy with the revolutionists. he was opposed to the employment of harsh measures against Maokenzie’s followers, and succeeded in procuring the release of several of them from imprisonment. lIe strongly championed the cause of the former Speaker of the House of Assembly, Mar- shall Spring Bidwell, wrongfully ac- cused of participation in the rising, and during the controversy which ensued attacked the course of Attorney-General Hagerman in a very vigorous and pointed letter, in which the establishment of constitutional freedom was advocated for the first time since the restoration of order. During Lord Dur- ham's memorable mission to this country ‘he had frequent interviews with Mr. Ryer- son. who furnished numerous data for the celebrated report of that nobleman. In 1840 Mr. Ryerson again attended the king- lish Conference as a delegate from Canada. Upon the incorporation of the University of Victoria College in 1841 Mr. Ryerson was unanimously chosen President of the 'netitution, and the same year saw the degree of Doctor of Divinity conferred upon him by the Wesleyan University of Middle- tov_vn, Conn. .. .._.....v -- nan-“u , WU Ally] IVU WIFH' ' out books.

Although she repeatedly asked him to draw u};1 he cut! in order to reveal the marks on is wrist, or to pull down his collar slightly to show the mole, he would not do it, and the interview was ended by her leavmg the hotel in great anger. During this memorable interview Mrs. Eastway says Stanley stood in the em- braeure of a window with his face partly turned from her.

The last Mrs. Eastway saw of her son was the day when he left her at Clay Castle and ran away to sea until she saw him at Livingstone’s funeral in Westminster Abbey. Although many years had elapsed since she saw her son, and the wild stripling had grown into the man, the instinct of the true mother’s heart was not to be baflled, and she recog-j nized him among six other pan-bearers. Her companion, Capt. Lamont, to satisfy her, asked who Stanley was. and the reply came : “ Why, that is Henry M. Stanley, the man who discovered Livingstone." Shortly after the question had been asked and answered Stanley‘s eye met that of his mother. He trembled visibly, and hid his face in the flag that covered Livingstone’s coffin. The next day Mrs. Eastway sought her recreant son at the Langham Hotel, where he was stopping. Before the messenger who ushered her into Stanley’s spacious parlors had time to withdraw Mrs. Eastway, declin- ing his profl'ered hand, exclaimed, “ Are . you not a nice son ‘3“ “ Well,” he answered, “ I fancy there must be some mistake here.” “ Then you can easily rectify it." His next reply was: “Well, any money you 'want _you can have.” “ Never mind, mother,” replied the reck- less little rascal, “as soon as I can get a ship I will take care that I never willcome back.

I ran out and over the field and found what the boy had said to be true. When Stanley saw me he let little Peter go. I was greatly excited, and wring- ing my hands, said to him: ‘ Would that the mother of God had you somewhere away from me!’ ” fl, _--_ .. “J .qu-l uvluo, and in the same year Stanley ran away to sea. They were than living on their aunt’s farm at Clay Castle, County Cork, Ireland. “ Stanley was always a. good boy," says his mother, “ but wild and reckless.” . 7 , â€" -- v-v on the 26th of October, in the year 1843, six years after marriage, the first child was born to Mrs.Eastway. The infant was a fine, healthy boy, and when the mother was convalescing she told her husband that she wanted to have their son baptized in the Catholic faith. Mrs. Eastway was a Catholic, but the captain was a Protestant. He loved his wife dearly, however. and made no objection to her wish. The child was christened by Father Smith and named William Henry East way, which name when he grew to man- hood he saw fit, for some unknown reason, to change to Henry M. Stanley. Thus was begun the life which was destined to prove so distinguished, and to lead to such grand results. Thus begun the career of the individual upon whom the admiration of the civilized world is centered, and his‘ name will, in all probability, henceforth‘ possess an undying fame. When ” Stan- ley,” the name which Mrs. Eastway now invariably uses in speaking of her son, and by which he will be called throughout this article, was 7 years of age, Capt. Eastway removed his family back to Europe. For fifteen years after their marriage Mrs. Eastway accompanied her husband on all his voyages, and Stanley was often taken with them. In a voyage to the Crimea, during the great struggle between France and England on the one side and Russia as their foe on the other, Capt. Eastway left his wife at home . and took young Stanley with him to learn something of the sea and of the world. In 1869 Capt. Eastway died away from home, ._.'I _‘., IIc-nry If!
